Most Favorable Review

Seems like a good board

MSI MPG Z590 GAMING FORCE LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI MPG Z590 GAMING FORCE LGA 1200 Intel Z590 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Z590, overclockable, 3 - M.2 built in (if needed), 2 - PCIE 4.0 slots if you need them. The flash drive that is included is 16GB that has older drivers on it. If you don't need them just format it and you have a new flash drive. Plenty of USB connections.

Cons: If you use the M.2 drives, you lose SATA connections on the board, but that is given on any built in M.2 drives. I don't see a very good use for the screwdrivers that come with it; they are too short to use in a case.

Overall Review: I have had this board for two weeks now and no issues with it at the moment. I like this board, I would purchase again as long as I don't have any issues with it. I'm not into RGB so that stuff doesn't really matter to me, but the Dragon does light up on it when running. It does have two 8 pin connectors if you plan on heavy overclocking, which I don't. The included brush may be good for your keyboard. Plenty of stickers if you like them. The case badge is just a sticker as well.

Most Critical Review

My updated review from my review from June 2022

Fenvi FV-AXE3000 Wi-Fi 6E AX210 PCIe Network Card Bluetooth 5.2 Heat Sink AX 3000Mbps 802.11ax Tri-band 2.4G/5G/6G PCI-E Wireless WiFi Network Adapter Cards for Desktop PC Support Windows 10/11 64-bit
Fenvi FV-AXE3000 Wi-Fi 6E AX210 PCIe Network Card Bluetooth 5.2 Heat Sink AX 3000Mbps 802.11ax Tri-band 2.4G/5G/6G PCI-E Wireless WiFi Network Adapter Cards for Desktop PC Support Windows 10/11 64-bit

Pros: Wifi works good and is fast

Cons: The Bluetooth worked well up until a few days ago. I thought it was either my new Motherboard's USB connection or it was getting too hot being next to my video card. But was neither. I was getting an intermittent connection. When it worked it worked for maybe a few minutes then nothing. I restart the computer, then have to reinstall/repair the drivers. Then it still won't work.

Overall Review: I saw another reviewer on here mention the same thing that theirs works intermittently as well. I would stay away from this if you are looking for Bluetooth, but if you want decent Wifi this will work. I will find something else that is hopefully more reliable.

Works good so far

Dual-Port PCIe Gigabit Network Card 1000M PCI Express Ethernet Adapter with Intel 82575/82576 Two Ports LAN NIC Card for Support PXE for Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Freebsd /DOS with Low Profile
Dual-Port PCIe Gigabit Network Card 1000M PCI Express Ethernet Adapter with Intel 82575/82576 Two Ports LAN NIC Card for Support PXE for Windows/Windows Server/Linux/Freebsd /DOS with Low Profile

Pros: Dual Port PCIe Gigabit Ethernet adapter. Works with pfsense. I am getting the speeds I am paying for with both adapters. Comes with Full Height and Half Height brackets. Both adapters found without having to download software.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I purchased two of these. One for my Windows 11 desktop and one for a new pfsense setup. Both working good. For my pfsense setup I have one Port coming from my Fiber modem and second port going to a 8 Port Unmanaged Switch. I am getting my full 500Mbps download speed I pay for.

I9 11900K is overkill for my needs, but I like it so far.

Intel Core i9-11900K - Core i9 11th Gen Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1200 125W Intel UHD Graphics 750 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811900K
Intel Core i9-11900K - Core i9 11th Gen Rocket Lake 8-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1200 125W Intel UHD Graphics 750 Desktop CPU Processor - BX8070811900K

Pros: Fast processor, runs between 40-45°C at 3.5Ghz. Hopefully I won't have to upgrade for a long time. I have had multiple tabs open on Firefox and no slow downs yet.

Cons: Like what others say it can run hot. When running at 5.1Ghz, it can run between 75°- 90°C with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo cooler with one fan attached to cooling fins. I even have two intake case fans and one exhaust fan. Also my case has plenty of mesh for airflow as well.

Overall Review: I purchased this and an MSI Z590 MPG Gaming Force motherboard combo. I couldn't beat the price for it. So like the title says it's overkill for my needs. I have it set up in my living room running Dolphin, PCSX2 and RPCS3 emulators. It runs them with no problems. I updated from Windows 10 to 11 after two weeks of owning and so far so good. I bought this to replace an i5 6600. I am debating on purchasing another to replace my 6700K with a Biostar Z270/GT4 motherboard. But I may wait. I have this paired with a EVGA GeForce GTX 1650 SC Ultra Gaming. I will see how much it will increase my electric bill.

Owned for 5 months. Works as expected

GLOTRENDS PA12-HS 2-in-1 M.2 PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink, For One M.2 NVMe SSD and One M.2 SATA SSD, Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 Size
GLOTRENDS PA12-HS 2-in-1 M.2 PCIe 4.0 X4 Adapter with M.2 Heatsink, For One M.2 NVMe SSD and One M.2 SATA SSD, Support 2230/2242/2260/2280 Size

Pros: Works with my Mushkin Pilot M.2 2280 drive as well as my Crucial MX 500 2280 drive. Comes with a SATA cable.

Overall Review: No slow downs of the drives with this device, as long as the drives are good. I had issues with my Mushkin drive running slow not long after I installed it into the adapter. So I was troubleshooting to make sure it wasn't the adapter. Come to find out it was the Mushkin drive that was failing. So device works as expected.

It does the job

Overall Review: Only use it today so far but it works like it should.

Would purchase from again

Received item sooner than expected. I was a little hesitant on purchasing from the seller, especially when the store name says Car shop, but received exactly what I ordered. Item was new, sealed and unopened. Would purchase from the seller. again.

Happy with seller

I ordered two Dual Port PCIe Gigabit Ethernet 82576 chipset NIC card. The seller contacted me to notify me that it would be the 82575 chipset and asked if it would be ok? Which it was. I appreciate the seller notifying me and asking if it was ok. Received items fairly quickly. Would purchase from again.

Item was as described

I would purchase from seller again, but next time I would go to their website and see if if the item is cheaper than on Newegg. As was the situation with said purchased item. After I had already purchased through Newegg, I had went to sellers website, and I noticed that it was cheaper through their site even with shipping charges.
