Motherboard of horrors.

This motherboard has been a consistently frustrating experience. I updated the BIOS and confirmed that all hardware components were compatible prior to installation. However, from the moment I built my system, issues began to appear. The yellow DRAM light would turn on, Windows would fail to restart properly, and eventually the motherboard stopped functioning. It will not even load into bios now.
I attempted multiple troubleshooting steps, including testing with different RAM and reseating the CPU, but none were successful. Extremely frustrated, I replaced the board with a different brand using the exact same components, and the system booted without any issues.
This motherboard cost me nearly two months of troubleshooting and instability. At this point, I’m unsure if pursuing the RMA process is worth the additional time, effort, and mental drain. I'm just tired of dealing with it and my new board works perfectly.

Solid board to build on.
I used to the BIOS Flashback feature to upgrade the BIOS to 7D70v16 so that my 7800X3D could work - and it did.
Packaging came with a flash drive that had all the drivers on it. I tried to use the "autoinstall" function much like a DVD from back in the day, but it didn't install 3 of the 6 missing drivers. Pretty sure you would need to install them manually. Whatever you do though, do NOT install Norton and do NOT install the MSI background.

My board came in as a complete lemon. For a brand new build, did have a bad kit of ram, but even after isolating the two bad sticks, this board was a complete nightmare of random errors and boot failures. Everything from CPU abnormality errors, to memory initialization errors, and at one point even thought I had damaged my 4090 as it refused to boot with a gpu in it.
Returned to store and got an Asus Tuf x670, popped in everything but the known bad ram, and was off and running.
I know lemons happen with everything man made, but just and fyi if yours has more than just hiccups happening. The stars I am leaving are for if the board actually worked. Not the worst value, but should be less, but was actually quite easy to physically set up.

Save yourself the time and money. I ordered the motherboard as I had an MSI x370 Gaming Pro Carbon for years without issue. But its a total different story with the MSI x670e. I had to request replacements motherboards twice as the first two motherboards were dead on arrival. Finally, 3rd time is the charm!? No... Not really, after a month of using the motherboard I started to run into issues with it and kept getting error code "B6 - Clean Up of NVRam" I did absolutely everything MSI Support had suggested I do including buying new ram! Only to continue to have issues. After I contacted them for a final time I was told there's not much they can do and it looks like I have yet another faulty motherboard. I went through THREE MSI MPG x670e Carbon WiFi motherboards in 2 months. I finally gave up on MSI and switched to an ASUS x670e. Please do not waste your time, I promise it's not worth it.

Product was as expected, has a few nuances to it with m2 slots with current bios if lanes 1 and 2 are populated at the same time but was aware of this flaw before purchase.

I chose a motherboard for AMD 7800x3d. In my opinion, the top board if compared in this price segment between competitors (Asus, Gigabyte). I read on the forums that the Asus and Gigabyte chips burned out at the beginning, so I decided not to risk trying MSI. The board is heavy, you can immediately feel it when you hold it in your hands, good radiators with cooling, no problems, good backlight, it is convenient to update the BIOS, very conveniently made instructions on the QR code on the box with a link to a video on each point of installing components.

Careful for QC issues. Msi is really cutting corners with this board havin the CMOS battery glued into a spot that is not freindly to the user .. i rather have it in plain sight rather than under the io heatsync.. taking that appart i dont feel comfortable with. MSI DO BETTER !
