If your looking for an easy motherboard to install and build upon. Then I highly recommend this board. I love that it has heat sink covers for the ssd nvme m.2. However, the nvmes with built in heatsinks are too thick the for covers to set on. The design of this mother board makes it easy for plug and play. The Wi-Fi is not bad and the antena is big step up from the rabbit ears that the older wifi motherboards used to have. Plus it magnetic. So if you have a metal pc case you can just stick it on and not worry about it.
What I really like is the led light indicators that built in on it. It makes it easy for you diagnose what's wrong with your pc. Example ram stick is bad and causing your pc to stall on boot up, The dedicated bios usb port is also nice to have for bios updates or trying to unbrick it.

Overall, this motherboard is a solid choice for gamers and enthusiasts looking for top-tier performance and longevity.

I bought this as a replacement motherboard using all of the rest of my existing components (CPU, memory, etc.) It worked flawlessly and I benefitted by having the latest technology in the board. Very pleased with my purchase!

The motherboard was very easy to set up and has been working great. Out of all of the motherboards I've had, this one is defintiely my favorite. It's just perfect for what I need it for and has more than enough M.2 slots, which I like because I value upgradability. I would definitely recommend this item.

Using with an I9-14900k, RTX 5070 TI and a corsiar 3500x Case.
This thing has all the plugs and headers needed to run with the Corsair Titan cooler and the single cable link fans. Onboard WiFi is a plus i dont use, but it is capable of receiving nearly the same data rates as my hardwire connection. Plenty of m.2 drive slots. I am currently using 2 out of the 4.

The board is beautiful, Bought for my productivity/gaming set up. DDR5 and and Intel i7 13700K is what I paired mine with and it performs great in both gaming and working.

Works great looks good, was easy to install. The location of some of the connectors are placed a little bit different than my previous motherboard, but overall worked out for my NZXT case.
There is very minimal if any RGB on the board that I can see however considering my massive CPU cooler and RTX 4090 it’s probably blocking every light that’s visible on the board if it even has any.
This isn’t the type of board I would say, though would be for an all white build or somebody who is looking for solid RGB.

Compared to my previous Mobo of a b460 m pro VDH this is hundreds of times better, much faster speeds, more m.2 slots and i can use DDR5. it comes with a magnetic antenna you attach to the case compared to other boards that use antenna that you would screw into place. Honestly one of the best purchases ive made for my computer.

Needed a motherboard since the one I ordered from Amazon arrived damaged. This motherboard was actually an upgrade from the one I had originally purchased from Amazon and has Wifi, Bluetooth, and USB-C support. 4 m.2 slots. The highest of quality.

This board was excellent during build and setup. I'll give MSI's BIOS user interface a 7 out of 10, but as far as the performance of the board, 10 out of 10. I paired this board up with extremely low latency 6400mhz ram in dual channel, no problem at all with my 14700k.
It looks clean, it matches everything, but more than that, it gave me no problems, and performs as expected. I think it looks better than the tomahawk board, and it has almost all of the same features, and power delivery for a lot cheaper.
Just make sure you get the latest BIOS from MSI's website after you get your OS up and running, mine was from early 2024, and I bought the board in 2025. There were 2 BIOS updates missed, so definitely keep an eye on that. It will just matter how long its been in the store.

It has everything you need at an appropriate price point for the final round with the LGA 1700 chipset. NVME slots are easily accessed with plenty of slots for as much storage as you need. BIOS is easy to work with. Generally speaking, just a good piece of hardware. I wasn't expecting to build out a white case but now that I have, I only wish it came in white.

Has all the bells and whistles you woukd expect from a name brand motherboard. Sturdy, easy to access and install your components. Great IO. The flash bios was super easy to perform and install my 14th gen CPU.10/10

Quality board. Instructions link to a webpage with qr codes for video instructions if youre unsure about anything. I/O plate is attached making it a tad more difficult to line up and attach to the case.

I recently upgraded my gaming setup with the MSI Z790 Gaming Plus WiFi motherboard, and it's been a game-changer for me. The performance boost from the 12th Gen Intel Core processor support is noticeable, especially in demanding games where every frame counts.
I also appreciate the attention to detail MSI has put into this board. The PCIe 5.0 support has allowed me to make the most of my VGA, and the DDR5 memory support ensures smooth multitasking and responsiveness.
The WiFi 6E has been a welcome addition, providing me with fast and reliable wireless connectivity, which is essential for my online gaming sessions and meetings. Overall, the MSI Z790 Gaming Plus WiFi has exceeded my expectations and has become the heart of my gaming setup.

This MSI board provides me with enhanced performance, the GAMING PLUS utilizes several features and electrical designs to optimize gaming experience with the 14+1+1 Dual Rail Power System. Extended heat sink, M.2 Shield Frozr, and chipset heat sink with 7W/mK thermal pad all work together to ensure the system remains cool under heavy loads. This board also offers several enhancements that are useful to everyone. EZ M.2 Clip makes securing SSDs quick, easy, and screw-free. Driver Utility Installer keeps firmware up to date, preventing potential software issues. Overall this is a really good board and can pair with 12th, 13th & 14th gen processors. My old 12th gen CPU can rest perfectly at the heart of the board~!
