This review is from: MSI Gaming 970 Gaming AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 and SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros:
- Looks. The board has a well thought out design. It feels study in the hand, not like it will snap or bend. The gold capacitors near the audio area look great on the black motherboard. Heatsinks are giant and look cool.
- UEFI is standard now, and MSI has done a great job implementing it. Features are easy to access, and the BIOS flash screen just looks cool.
- Connectivity is certainly not limited on this board, and the red ports look really nice on this system.
Cons:
I wish this board had a button on the back, so I could push it and on the next reboot it would go to the BIOS. My intel Z series board from MSI has this.
MSI has a lot of drivers on their website that do not work with Windows 10, or are older than Windows 10. A lot of them aren't necessary.
Overall Review:
I'm yet to overclock it, but I will update this review when I do.
MSI is yet to fail me, and I put one of their boards in every build I make.
