This review is from: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Bought this guy from a local computer shop.
Looks like the picture on the box I guess?
Cons:
First issue-
Only reads 1 stick of RAM in the slot furthest away from the CPU. If I plug in more than one it just restart loops. I've manually changed the voltage, speed, timing, and slot to no avail. I think the RAM slots are not reading.
Second issue-
I have to clear the CMOS everytime it powers down or restarts or it goes into a restart loop. I have updated bios and cleared it and ran the default bios. Fail fail fail.
Overall Review:
I doubt this is the rule and more of a unfortunate isolated incident where I end up with a defunct board.
