    WIFI Issues.

    This motherboard has been a great budget board, with rather limited issues. However, the issue I am currently experiencing is somewhat catastrophic. For clarification, I've built too many systems to count, and this lives in my desk. I have had some issues with stuttering in games, connectivity issues, etc. I chalked this up to my Internet being special (thanks Xfinity) However, I have come to the realization that the IO on the back of the MOBO where the wifi antenna plugs into is damaged and that's why I have been having issues. There is noticable play in the antenna (just one not both) I've never quite experienced anything like this prior, not with other MSI, Asus, or Gigabyte boards If you're having Internet issues with this motherboard, I'd urge you to try using an Ethernet cable or your phone w/ the internet tethered. I'm currently in the process of starting an RMA request with MSI.

    This board is great. I've currently got it paired with a 7950x3d. I didn't realize this board would be so convenient with things like the "quick secure" tabs for the m.2 drives and a built in face plate. I literally just dropped the cpu and ram in, screwed into the case, added a cooler and my drives and screwed it in. Not having to deal with those tiny m.2 screws is something I hope will be mainstream for every board now. The software and support was super easy and overall this was better than any intel board and chip I've ever used. So. Easy.

    This motherboard has been great so far. I'm a first time pc builder and using the manual to install all of my components was very easy, and updating the bios and OS installs were both very fast and efficient. Although the ram was a bit scary! My only very minor negative was the space to plug in the cpu fans near the top heatsink was too small for my hands.

    Disappointing

    Let's start with the good: It's got good features and an easy-to-use BIOS. Now for the bad: out of the box, it is not optimized for AM5 or DDR5 over 4800, and you're likely to have an awful experience until you update the BIOS and configure some things. I recommend having the latest stable BIOS (do not use a beta version) on a USB and flashing it when setting up your system. Once you flash the BIOS, you should be on your way to a good experience. You then need to enable XMP to get your DDR5 to run past 4800. Note: this will take some time (5-15 minutes), and your system will reset while getting the memory trained. Fortunately, you only need to do this once - assuming that you flashed a stable BIOS. Otherwise, you may end up getting frequent crashes and needing to hard reset the CMOS by removing the battery - the CMOS reset button does not work. The primary PCIE slot has a stubborn lock. Once I slotted my GPU (XFX 7900 XTX), it was a real pain to get it out to access the battery - which is inconveniently placed in such a place that if you have a large GPU, you'll have to take out the GPU to access the battery. Because of how many times I had to do this, I just ended up breaking the lock on the PCIE tab so that I could easily remove the GPU. If you're running PMW fans, you'll need to optimize their settings in the fan section of the BIOS. It's an easy process though.

    This has given me no issues. I was able to custom set my DDR5 ram in bios. Boot times are a little longer but not annoyingly so.
