    Installation was straightforward. Works well the the components I had for my build. Saved my 13700F CPU, 16 GB and 1tb from 'dust collection' duty

    Needed to replace my pre-built's motherboard after a short in my PSU. This was a very welcome replacement. Easy enough to install.

    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.

    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.

    I purchased this motherboard from Best Buy as part of the Geek Squad desktop build performed by Best Buy. For the cost it is a very good value. I have the board installed in a NZXT Flow 9 case, also purchased from Best Buy. Thus far, I have been very much impressed with the board. I would say that users should not forget to plug in the wifi/bluetooth antenna. Without it, your bluetooth will appear on your desktop, but have limited connectivity to it.

    This is a decent motherboard, but it is extraordinarily twitchy about detecting RAM. I had two types of RAM that were both on the compatibility list for this motherboard, and I lost half my capacity because it didn't actually like my T-Force Delta RAM versus my Corsair vengeance. So basically I got dropped from 64 GB of RAM to 32 GB of RAM. This was very strange to me because my original motherboard was also an MSI in the same series. Basically I couldn't trust this motherboards compatibility list, I would not buy it again. It also has an extraordinary failure in the ethernet port as well, go look that up you'll find it. To make a long story a little shorter, I would not buy this motherboard again, and it has me questioning whether I will ever buy MSI's equipment again

    Excellent board for the price

    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.

    Great MB for Upgrades or New Build

    Excellent MB, I used a new i9-12900k and 32GB DDR5 RAM overclocked to 6400MT. There's no need to design 4 memory slots as it's a chipset issue to get 2 channels to operate at XMP (not the fault of MSI). I love the number of M.2 slots and populated 2 of these (total 4TB)! Using a RTX-4070 Super and an 850w MSI Modular PSU (12vhpwr cable plugs directly into GPU), we have a device that still can be functional for 5 years!

    Does everything it needs to do and some, has a clean and simple aesthetic, and has all the additional connections you'd need.
