    This motherboard worked great (well the 2nd one did). My first one had a metal heat shield bouncing around that damaged it. Noticed this immediately upon opening it. I believe rough handling in shipping to be the cause even though the box was undamaged. Here's the good part; Best Buy immediately exchanged it in store!!! Gotta love good customer service. The 2nd Board worked like a charm and have had zero issues with it in setting it up with the AMD Ryzen 3800 processor!

    Good quality motherboard. I love the built in IO shield. It has 2 NVME slots and the top one has a built in heat sink. The disappointing part is that the BIOS was not updated. The Ryzen 3700X wouldn't boot on it. I luckily had a Ryzen 3100 which it did boot on so I can flash the firmware. The 3700X worked fine after the update. Why was this done before. I'm disappointed with MSI. Once updated though, the BIOS is very easy to use. The board works fine and is stable.

    Works perfectly, 6 slots for fans I believe. The RGB is cool but unless you have your OC on your desk, you won’t be able to see the lights because the gpu goes right above it.

    This is more of an expensice board, but it works well for any build using AM4. Unlike the box states, this board does work on the Ryzen 3 3200G, though you may have issues with XMP. If you dual boot windows and linux, the bios does not play nice with the linux loader.

    I've been using this for over 6 months now with absolutely no complaints. It was my first time building my own PC after buying pre-built Dell/Alienwares over the years. PC is mostly for gaming and some streaming. I'm using it in tandem with: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x GPU: MSI - AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT MECH 2X RAM: CORSAIR - Vengeance LPX 32GB (4PK x 8GB) 3.2 GHz DDR4 DRAM Desktop Memory Kit Boot M.2 SSD: WD - WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe Gaming 500GB PCIe Gen 3 x4 Internal Solid State Drive Secondary M.2 SSD: WD - WD_BLACK SN750 NVMe Gaming 1TB PCIe Gen 3 x4 Internal Solid State Drive SATA SSD: Crucial - MX500 2TB 3D NAND Internal SATA 2.5" Solid State Drive Case: CORSAIR - 4000D AIRFLOW MidTower Case Power Supply: CORSAIR - CX Series Modular CX750M 750W 80 Plus Bronze ATX Power Supply - Black Front Fans: Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 V2 ARGB 3in1 Square Frame Fan, ARGB 3-Pin Customizable LEDS CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB V2, Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler, 240 Radiator, Dual SickleFlow 120mm, RGB Lighting, 3rd Gen Dual Chamber Pump for AMD Ryzen/Intel LGA1151 Bluetooth Card: TP-Link AC1200 PCIe WiFi Card for PC Monitor: Dell - S3220DGF 32" LED Curved QHD FreeSync Monitor with HDR I would like to eventually upgrade the m.2 to Gen 4 but as it stands this pc handles all the games I play at max settings at 1440p (Forza Horizon 5, WoW, Hearthstone, Valheim, FF XIV, CIV VI)

    Combined this with a ryzen 7 5800x for a surprise gift to a friend and fellow gamer who was down on his luck. Working flawlessly with 32gb of corsair at the correct 3200mhz and cl16 timing. No issues to speak of!

    Cheaply priced MOBO to get a rig up and running. Great for a project build, running 3950x in it and have ZERO problems, I don’t get all into all the vrms and temps and blah blah blah. I’m just concerned if it works and as long as it doesn’t fry my cpu it’s good with me. I had an emergency build I needed to get up and running ASAP and it worked in a pinch, still running just fine, no probs whatsoever.
