5 out of 5 eggsNice motherboard for the budget

Pros: It's cheap and it gets the job done. I wasn't expecting much of a $44 motherboard when I've been disappointed by other boards in this low end range, but for the price MSI offers a surprisingly full featured set. The visual BIOS is definitely on par with competitors and if you've used any other MSI boards (my work PC uses their X79A-GD45) it doesn't take much to get used to it. I paired this with a Pentium G3258, 8GB of Mushkin Ecoline RAM, and an older GTX 550TI (will be upgrading to GTX 750 relatively soon) and it booted up on first try and relatively easily. It found both the boot drive and a second 2TB hard drive that I use for mass storage easily, along with the BD-R drive. With a BIOS update you can run some mild overclocking features on the Pentium G3258 such as a multiplier change and unlocking both cores on the CPU, a nice upgrade from the locked i3-2120 I had been using previously.

Cons: Don't expect much out of the overclocking features, if you're going to go for the Pentium G3258, you might as well run it at stock speeds or just go for a mild change in the multiplier, but you can't run advanced overclocking features such as voltage changes and changes in the RAM speeds.

1 out of 5 eggsNo Video OUT signal ?

Pros: Price seemed good for a build I was trying to keep under $350 for a relative,.... but guess you get what you pay for,.. :(

Cons: No video signal either from DVI or VGA port ???
So who knows what else may or may not be functioning on this Mobo !!!

Other Thoughts: This is my first time purchasing an MSI product,.... I think it will be the last. I normally always buy ASUS Mobos for my builds and never had one single DOA or defective one arrive from Newegg, N CIX or MicroBytes.

I read others reviews and thought I could get lucky and receive one that was fully functional and would not die on me 2 weeks later,... heck it never made it past day zero ,.... really disappointed, now I'll need to go through the whole annoying RMA process, not very happy.

My advice,... stay away from such an important buy from cheaply priced Mobo's, you're better off buying something a little more expensive at your local PC store !!

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Fit with Pentium G3258

Pros: Cheap. Picked up for $29AR
Overclocking is a breeze
MSI BIOs and utils well-designed
Seems very good quality for entry level MB

Cons: Only 4 SATA ports; no HDMI

Other Thoughts: Had this MB sitting around for months waiting for the perfect budget CPU and eventually found it in $59 special Pentium Anniversary chip (G3258). Used the ZALMAN LQ-310 liquid cooler and Aerocool DS case to build a great little mATX box. Only managed to OC the Pentium to 4.2GHz but that was enough to get into i5 benchmark territory so I was still happy.

4 out of 5 eggsNot bad.

Pros: It's small in size.. Compact design. Nice BIOS

Cons: Very little to work with. Hooking up all the jumpers to the case took some time. I was also displeased it didn't have an internal coupling for the USB3, only the two USB3 ports on the back. Pretty much leaves this case with no USB3 port on the front.

Other Thoughts: I suppose with the space they were working with you can't really ask for more. Worked out of the box. Ran like a charm.

1 out of 5 eggsDefective firmware

Pros: It works.

Cons: The computer will not resume from standby without pushing the power button; updating the firmware and setting the CMOS to resume on mouse or keyboard has no effect.

Other Thoughts: MSI and Newegg knew exactly what they were doing; they sold defective equipment -- at a lower price.

2 out of 5 eggsDOA?

Pros: Bought it for a new build with high hopes. 2 eggs because I know the board has potential.

Cons: Doesn't work with any combo of powersupplys/memory/ video cards that I have. Can't get anything to boot for the life of me...

Other Thoughts: Doesn't have a spot to connect front panel usb 3.0 for my case but I knew it didn't when I bought it.

1 out of 5 eggsCheap for a reason

Pros: USB 3.0
Socket 1155
Cheap

Cons: No front panel USB 3.0 plug
board is cheaply made.

Other Thoughts: Installed in a new build with an intel G3420. Everything powered right up and worked...for about two hours. Installed Windows 7 and SP1, and went to reset the computer. Computer locked up hard and wouldn't shut down after exiting Windows. After waiting a while, I unplugged the computer. Wouldn't power up after that. Tested the RAM, Power supply, Processor and Video card on a test bed and they're all fine. Motherboard died after basically 2 hours of use.
