Awesome motherboard, was compatible with all of my parts and was basically just plug and play. Upgraded to this mobo because of the 2.5 gbe ethernet port

MSI does it again!
This motherboard upon setup has a couple of issues but they are completely outweighed by the pros.
Cons.
My Bluetooth has a hard time staying connected and to make matters worse the antennas that come with the motherboard are small and plug into the back of the PC. This makes it hard to get the antenna set up right so that you can get a clear path directly to your controller or headset. Makes it especially hard if you have it behind some monitors.
Another issue I had with this motherboard was the drivers in general being a little finicky to install. I installed the Bluetooth drivers multiple times before it finally worked the last time I installed them. Not exactly sure why this is but I had to install all drivers and recommend doing the same thing even if you're not using it.
Pros.
After getting this computer put together at around 1:00 in the morning, I cued up about seven downloads while I messed with my windows settings as it was a fresh install. By the time I was done messing with my window settings half of the games had already been downloaded. When the steam servers weren't completely and utterly high traffic, I was getting around 700mbs+ consistently. This was never achievable with my gigabyte motherboard previously.
This motherboard comes with a lot of SATA and USB ports, as well as two super high speed m.2 ports, And if you're using two m.2 ports you can also use the PCIEx1 slots for stuff like network cards (not really needed unless it's an upgrade compared to the chip in the MB) or USB hubs and such.
The transfer and read speed on the m.2 slots is unreal. I was able to transfer a little under 30 GB game file in less than a second.

It was a good upgrade from my old msi motherboard. It runs nice and smooth and the same for most of my games and its decently priced for a motherboard if your on a budget

MSI quality through n through. My build included a Ryzen 5 500 series, no graphics CPU with heat sink and fan(this means I needed a graphics card ), 2 16Gb sticks of RAM, and an NVIDIA 8Gb HDMI/DVI/Display Port graphics card.
The firmware level on the motherboard worked as is, but there was a very recent update available, which was loaded later in the build. All components are win-11 ready. I did need to use a USB Wi-Fi stick to get the proper software in as the drivers on the CD needed to be installed. But that said, the installation went as hoped. Eb=berthing works beautifully. Nice rainbow colors displaying through the workstation case. No jitters etc., from the graphics, clean sound via the onboard optical connector to my amplifier. Two (2) SSD M2 connectors for blazing speed of the processor. This will take the place of two (2) SATA drives (5-6).
If you are new to building your own gaming box, be assured there are plenty of YouTube help videos and tons from MSI themselves. Flashing the ROM can even be done without a CPR or anything else. Amazing how things are getting easier. Loving my new MS by MSI.

This is an excellent board at a reasonable price, it features numerous USB A ports, multiple NVME M2 slots for SSDs, 4 RAM slots, and it has Wifi/Bluetooth built in. I haven't had any issues with this motherboard paired with an AMD 5800x3D CPU and an RTX 4090 card.

I adore this motherboard. I actually installed 128 gigs of ram (Corsair RGB Pro 3200 MHz) on this motherboard. I also installed dual Samsung SSD m.2 hard drives as well as the 5950x processor without any bios updates. Everything works to build a monster of a computer with this motherboard.
