I've had many MSI boards in the past and never had issues with them. This one had me pulling my hair out for a while and on the verge of returning it. THANKFULLY a new bios was released literally the day I was contemplating this, and the bios fixed my issues (mostly). Occassionally the board will take like 3 minutes to boot (no idea why) and then everything is good. Most times it reboots relatively quick, but could still use some improvements.
It is stable once booted and has all the 'normal' msi features in the boot menu.

This motherboard works great. I've owned it for several months and build my own gaming PC with this. The Wi-Fi and Bluetooth both have great range. While there are newer options on the market, they are very expensive and the "future-proofing" seems like it's just an excuse to spend too much money. This MB is likely to be everything you'll need in 2025 or 2026.

I had purchased it to replace a motherboard I had gotten with a broken cpu socket. It was insanely easy to install everything and it’s worked great ever since my purchase.

great mother board. I like that it has debug lights so it makes it easier to trouble shoot your pc when one of the lights come on. The Wi-Fi antennas are good work perfectly fine. this is a good quality motherboard

I paired this board with a 7800X3D and it works perfectly. I did try updating the BIOS with flashback before installing the CPU but it didn't seem to do anything so I put the system together and it booted up within a few minutes. Got into the BIOS and updated it to the latest stable November 2023 release and everything has been running smoothly.
I should say that the initial BIOS was from April 2023, and it booted up just fine with the 7800X3D, so if anyone's worried about that, I don't think you should be. Just have a thumbdrive ready with the newest stable BIOS and update it once you put your system together and boot the system.
Using this board with the 7800X3D and a 32GB kit of G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo Series RAM (running at 6,000MHz with Expo), and everything's been perfectly stable. Also running with a 6700XT and Windows 11. Great board for the price.

Great mobo, all the features you'd want in a mobo.
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth work great and range through out my whole house from the basement where the machine rests.
BIOS is super clean and easy to use.
M-Flash super easy to use.
MSI brings military grade durability to all the products they sell and it's apparent in their motherboards most of all.
High quality machining through the board. Strong material for IO shield.
Plently of space

This motherboard works as intended. The BIOS works well and is easy to update, and installing components is easy. I did manage to strip a screw installing my GPU, but luckily they include spares so no harm done. I’m giving it 4 stars because I prefer to use software for fan control instead of the BIOS, and MSI Center is not my favorite. It works, but it has somewhat limited options and annoyingly has pop up ads.

Plenty of sata ports and the bios is simple with plenty of options. The ddr5 capability was a huge plus. 6000mhz ram is a game changer. Love the option fkr wifi even though iight not use it all the time but ive needed it in the past and never had the option. Would rate 5/5 but I had to return my first boatd due to issues.

This is my first AM5 motherboard ever. i've used several different components in my whole life and this has been one of the best ones i've ever had the pleasure of using. Its easy to understand, easy to install and has a very, very nice cooling solution, which was one of the many reasons why i chose this one over gigabyte's gaming elite version for am5. Overall, 9/10. The reason for this is, unfortunately, its long boot times. Its a well known am5 issue, but this mobo is particular during its first few boots, taking up to 2 minutes. 3 weeks of using it later it's much faster tho, so no real problems here. Even so, this mobo, along with a Ryzen 7 7700X have blown my mind with their incredible gaming performance! So thats a win for MSI. Go ahead, give it a try! im sure it will turn out incredible.
