Pros: Uses what "work" for designing a power supply backed by their experience in the gaming market. Frequent sale Rock hard graphic demanding computer game

Cons: Fan on the side is only one sided

Overall Review: Even if the company was to switch side, there still are desktop cases that will challenge this. If only the Antec made the fan double sided instead of one side, I wouldn't have been bother with the upside down plug, label, and what not. The performance and its trusted name justify the star review.

Pros: Stability Top quality material Great for gaming

Cons: Bluetooth failed to work. All third party drivers supporting this have failed. Nobody in the internet was able to get it to work.

Overall Review: The reason that I bought it was to take advantage of the internal Bluetooth hardware to wirelessly transmit music to external speaker. But, that was proven to be impossible as all the drivers thrown at were not getting the Bluetooth to recognize device, even with the antennae, while the WIFi connect without problem. If you are buying this motherboard for the Bluetooth, try the MSI gaming motherboard instead. The Bluetooth in the MSI motherboard was able to connect. But, the instability made me switch to an ASUS motherboard. I can't give a 4 stars since most of the reason for buying was for the Bluetooth. And, even if I were to give a 4 stars, it would have implied that I am mostly satisfied with the product.

Pros: None.

Cons: TLC is a weakest cache for the SSD Misgiving on the speed performance Misleading information Unstable

Overall Review: I wish I done my research on the different type of cache before purchasing this. It was the past New Year and needed to play computer game. The Sabrent's marketing stunt caught my attention promising fast SSD speed while boasting high endurance. Their reported speed exceed the Samsung EVO SSD which got me fire up to buy the "most fastest SSD" that I can afford. But, my ignorance of SSD blinded me. They are using TLC which unknown to me was the most disadvantage for gaming and heavy duty read/write cycle. Source says that the TLC is only meant for consumer instead of gaming while the MLC is a reliable choice for gaming. Just to be fair, the Sabrent SSD was able to keep up with the computer gaming. I played heavy graphic demanding computer game, including the indie computer game, like Space Engineer. It wasn't until I was more involve in listening to music on YouTube through my wireless headset, the Steelseries Actis 7 Wireless Pro. It was becoming a nuisance as I am running back and forth to choose the next song. So, I decided to use my laptop to remotely operate my desktop using Google remote desktop. I would spend hours working at the dining table studying while clicking for the next song to listen to. After a month of Google remote desktop, listening to song, and working, the SSD suddenly collapse ending the remote session. Ok, that's odd? I went to my desktop to investigate. A power failure? No, that's not it. I booted to Windows and then navigate only to find that the screen went black. So, I booted more time to test the SSD response while looking in file folders. It suddenly went black again. So, I did more tries before the desktop gave up for good. Aside from the reading and writing through the Google remote desktop, I didn't think it would kill the SSD, even for listening to songs. I guess I was wrong? I have yet to file for warranty replacement as I am a busy man. And, if they sent me a replacement, the chances are that I'll sell it to whoever that is willing to buy off from my hand. I am going to stick with Samsung MLC since they will become more reliable and durable.

Pros: It supports ARGB, up to 6 MSI only ARGB fan. Nice ventilation design

Cons: The more expensive MSI case tops this allowing 2 more ARGB fan. MSI could have add 8 not 6. Misleading description for mounting 360mm. There is no way that this case can support 360 in the front without sacrificing tight space and removing one of the120mm fan from the radiator. All MSI case, including this one cannot properly mount a motherboard because of the uneven pte-mount bit. There was no room for screwing in most mount point. . I was charged re-stocking fee for misleading description. Unacceptable greed!

Overall Review: MSI and Newegg seems to have some low class to charge re-stocking fee over misleading description. If they refund the re-stocking fee, I will gladly refund 1 star. If they could refund the re-stocking fee, I would have been awarding an extra start. And, quite frankly, I was tempted to rate 1 start even. Mounting the motherboard, even for a MSI brand, was not in satisfactory condition. The case would have supports 8 ARGB fan if they wanted to but decided to micro-transact giving the more expensive case, 2 extra ARGB fans. With all of that said, it did have good ventilation design. But, their description about radiator was not accurate

Pros: Excellent Quality Heat Resistant

Cons: Very Long Startup Time (Logo Flash Twice) Suspicious Hardware Communication Problem (Video Card Blue Tinted with Multicolor Streak) Resume From Sleep Make The Computer Feeling Groggy For Few Seconds

Overall Review: I don't know if I want to blame this motherboard but got two hardwares that giving me problem, video card and sound card. Resuming from sleep will send lagged audio sound making this computer feeling groggy for a few moment. Have video problem when playing video on YouTube in full screen that would cause blue tinted color with multistreak. Who do I blame? video card? sound card? OR motherboard? Please get with your engineer team and figure out? I am using a GTX N560 MSI video card with X-Fi Soundblaster FaTal1ty model sound card. Note: My front lights of the sound card no longer light up. Motherboard's model logo should never be flash more than 2 times, and the startup time is LONG for more than 2 minutes. Computer running AMD FX 8 Cores with 16GB memory follow by a giant Cooler Master brand CPU heatsink resting on the processor. Computer's temperture is stable and remain cool at all time.

Pros: High Definition Capable Of Resisting Heat Have A Great Potential For More Performance Vs. Cost

Cons: Terrible GPU Processing Will Crash When Playing Most YouTube or Suitable Adobe Flash Player In Full Screen Mode Causing Tinted Blue And Multicolor Streaks Freezing The Computer To Halt

Overall Review: I know this is my second time of buying MSI brand video card, but this is riduculous. I have played MW3 and BF3 fine with this video card, MSI N560GTX but don't get me wrong. It still have flaws relating to playing Adobe Flash Player videos from YouTube at full screen yielding to blue tinted color with multicolor streak. This sometime can be a problem while playing Minecraft which savor GPU more. Speaking of Minecraft, I get a very lagging feeling in Normal world in Minecraft let alone attempting to try Second Life in default viewer. If MSI can send me another MSI N560GTX as a loan with the use of credit card on file, I can be happy to return this back to them and prove myself wrong and stand corrected. For me to return this back without using any dedicated graphic is shameful let alone having people that read this review feeling too ill to buy risky model.
