Good one
This motherboard is exceptionally well-built, and I tested all the I/O ports—they all performed flawlessly. This demonstrates that the manufacturer didn’t skimp on these less noticeable details. Moreover, the design is more refined compared to the previous generation, featuring a brand-new and visually appealing BIOS UI. A commendable aspect is that the Wi-Fi 7 chip is from Intel—stable and fast. Unlike MediaTek solutions, which are often plagued by driver issues, this makes a significant difference.

MSI
Working really well had a hiccup with not noticing the socket was different than my now previous processor. Only issue I have atm is that the iBuyPower fans led's aren't connecting to the Hyte Nexus software due to MSI software overriding it even when seeing if uninstalling it would fix it. Other than that amazing product. Needed to also install LAN drivers during windows fresh install using their media creation tool. Then uninstalled the Killer software since it lowered my internet speed by adjusting the bandwidth.

Lack of instructions
We had to go to MSI.com and YouTube to figure some of the installation issues out. There're no instructions included. DIMM slot A2 had issues fitting the DIMM, but after several tries of reseating it, the DIMM slipped right in as it should. No issues with B2 DIMM slot. It seemed like the slot wasn't big enough to begin with. Checked both DIMMS and they appeared identical without flaws. Didn't see any flaws on MB slot either. It just didn't want to fit into the slot so wiggling and force had to be used, but carefully and within reason. When we finally got it to fit into the slot, the MB would not recognize it. We tried one last time and it slipped right in without issue.
