About this deal

Military style with Extended heatsink design for better thermal solution, DDR4 Boost, Core Boost, Turbo M.2 and USB 3.2 Gen2 connector I had the CPU cooling though (H110i 280mm) that I got 63months ago (5+y). H80i will struggle to keep 5900X's temp tame under elevated loads. So reseated cpu with fresh paste but still the same so gave in for the rest of the day but the next day switched on pc it worked for an hour but had to go out so shut it down and when i came home it wouldnt work again showing cpu as fault.

Phillips 32 32M1N5800A (4k144), LG 32" (4K60) | Gigabyte G32QC (2k165) | Phillips 328m6fjrmb (2K144) I don't see why you should be worried about worse performance. That should not be the case unless Windows is overflowing with gunk/half corrupt, or MSI somehow borked the specific BIOS revision you flashed. Do a clean install if you haven't in a while, make sure you get the latest chipset drivers, and be on a reasonably recent BIOS. Do a few simple benchmarks and if performance is roughly in the right place then there's nothing to worry about (e.g. 650/9500 CPU-Z, 1600/21k R23 etc) I'm not confident an aging AIO designed pre-AM4 would keep a 5900x in the happy temp ranges for max boosting)

Price comparison

Core Boost: With premium layout and fully digital power design to support more cores and provide better performance.

Only support when using AMD Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics/ Athlon with Radeon Vega Graphics Processors x DisplayPort, support a maximum resolution of 4096x2304 @60Hz, 2560x1600 @60Hz, 3840x2160 @60Hz, 1920x1200 @60Hz

will be easy on B450, but not all will do any higher. I've ran into a few that won't do 3400 or above with quad rank, while x370 and x470 could with the same CPU and RAM. Gaming may be less demanding on cooling but still the 5900X can draw over 100W (PPT) of power on some games. 5700X may draw around half (maybe 60%) of what 5900X will for gaming. You can always upgrade your GPU further down the road and this will upgrade your gaming experience more than any CPU or 32GB RAM will. That CPU cooler may be a problem, most AIO's only last 2-3 years before they start losing performance or just outright die - the 5700x for example would easily be cooled on a basic 120mm tower cooler, while the 5900x needs a larger one or another AIO The other question I have, is if I'll be able to run 32GB of RAM at 3200Mhz (4x8GB), I seem to recall that it was not possible on this board, or at least on the 2700X. Is there a MSI expert in the house?

Supports x8 speed with Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen with Radeon Graphics processors

Supports PCIe 3.0 x4 (1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen/ Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics and 2nd Gen AMD Extended Heatsink Design: MSI extended PWM and enhanced circuit design ensures even high-end processors to run in full speed. so the issue is switched on pc and only got the mystic light, power led or hdd led don't light up and pc wont start psu is working and motherboard EZDebug led shows cpu as issue so was thinking cpu was dead.
