Damaged during shipping
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty annoyed. Bought this two weeks ago and didn't open it up. Turns out that the socket cover and an m.2 heat sink came lose causing unrepairable damage to the socket. Make sure you check your board asap for any damage during shipping.

Change isn't always good
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never worked bought a Asus tuf mobo instead which has been my go to for 15yrs. But I bought the 9950 3D chip so I figured why not do something out the norm. Plus the tuf didn't have optical audio (just used HDMI audio through my 7900xtx chefs kiss. I kept the board in hopes it just needs a bios update (but I needed my computer) so it's sits untill I get the 9950-3Dx2 it also sits with a 2 tb m.2 drive with 64gb of ram.

Terrible Motherboard
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had 2 of these motherboards. First motherboard I took back and exchanged for another, as I had nothing but issues with it and nothing was consistent with the motherboard. From getting it to POST, to detecting the NVMe drives, and inconsistent PCIe speeds. Both motherboards shared to same issues. I tried different processors, different GPUs, and different memory. Updated the bios a few times hoping that would solve some of the issues, but it didn't. All MSI wanted to do was RMA, which tells me they know there is an issue, and that was when I said enough was enough. Went with another x870e motherboard from a different brand, no issues and no more trying different stuff hoping something worked.

Know fault error code 0d
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This board has a fault where when you restart the computer any time, it hangs up and shows error code 0d. This is a known fault with no apparent fixes. And now 15 days (really best buy?) later I can't return it.

roadie didnt deliver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.why am i ordering from best buy for peace of mind if yall are going to ship it with criminals at roadie? roadie bbb reviews show if it could have less than 1 star, it would. the guy who dreamed up that vendor relationship needs to be fired. then i go read your reviews to find out that not only does best buy use roadie, they use doordash too. i chose bestbuy because i knew it would be ups or fedex. boy was i wrong and the result is obvious before liftoff. dumb business decision to use last mile carrier service instead of ups or fedex. oh and good luck reporting the thief to police.

Best Value X870E Motherboard
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There's simply no other board at this price that delivers BIOS Flashback, CMOS button, and a 7-segment debug LED. Couple that with the solid I/O, solid VRMs, 8,000mhz RAM support, and plenty of M.2 slots and you really get everything you could ever need. That said, it's not perfect. I'm not a fan of the CMOS battery being behind a heatsink, nor am I a fan of the green color on said heatsinks. The board also lacks an asynchronous eclk setting in the bios, limiting the theoretical maximum clock speed of PBO to the +200mhz value. It's unlikely your CPU is capable of more than +200mhz PBO, but many enthusiasts would absolutely love to limit test this, and no eclk means no fun. The board does have a "performance switch" option which stacks on PBO and increases clock speeds at lower thread utilization, which does increase gaming clocks by ~100mhz in my experience, but this is still capped by PBO so if you have a gold sample you'll be held back. Overall: I picked this board for a reason, and have not been disappointed. Best value unless you want to limit test your CPU.

The perfect X870E MOBO
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're looking for an excellent motherboard for your AMD 9800X3D, then look for further. This MOBO runs like a dream on my benchmarks, and has everything I was looking for (USB ports galore, well built heat sinks), and doesn't have RGB all over which is a HUGE plus for me.

Great Board!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first build in over a decade. After extensive research, I still worried about error codes, issues with BIOS, and my 9950X3D. The latest BIOS update was flawless and after installing all compenents, I had zero issues with this board so far (granted this is only day two, but it's been running none stop except for going to sleep when I step away). If you plan on getting RBG RAM make sure you have enough clearance with your CPU cooler, unless you're going liquid cooled. My last two motherboards were MSI and this one is just as high quality, albeit with upgrades. If you're reading negative reviews about errors, a lot of them have been resolved with the latest BIOS update.

Great Board
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some tips, use the antenna provided, it will substantially boost the wifi signal. Install the latest Bluetooth, Wifi, ethernet etc drivers from the website. And attach your CPU cables at the very least before building in the case.
