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.

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.

MSI makes good motherboards and good bios

I have stuck with MSI motherboards and gpus for quite a long time now. I like the bios they have and ease of use. Works well with my MSI 5090 and i9 14900. Would recommend a MSI board to anyone. The i9 even has a MSI water-cooler on it that has worked perfectly for 2 years now also and was on my last setup that also had a MSI mobo. Not necessarily a fanboy of MSI but as long as I keep getting the quality of products I have from them I will stay a customer.

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.

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~!

this is an overkill motherboard, but it works very well if your needs are overkill.
4 NVME drives are perfect for my work because I have to move large amounts of 4k video and RAW photos. thanks to having so many NVME slots, I can actually place everything in super high speed storage.
DDR5 memory only was something I did not notice until after I bought it, so you will have the additional expense. (DDR5 is far more expensive than DDR4 at the moment)
the WIFI is also very fast, which was unexpected.
