Low temps, high fps

Power for a good price Simple install, cables easy to manage

This board while not being the Top Of The Line it is still a great pick for the price and the features it comes with. This is my second MSI mobo and I didn't encounter any issues getting it delivered, out of the box and installed. I chose this board for the AM5 compatibility and the DDR5. This board does have overclocking support as well. The MSI store (US) has a great support page for drivers and BIO's updates as well as a forums area to find answers to any questions you might have.

It works great in combination with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, 64 gb Kingston CL30 RAM, 4 TB Crucial T500 M.2 hard drive in the first slot above the GPU slot and topped off with an Asus TUF RTX 5080 graphics card. This system is amazing, and my in game from rates have increased 4 times from my prior system.

Card runs fast, cool and quiet. Was able to undervolt, power limit and overclock vram. Now I get same as stock performance but hotspot never exceeds 65c. Memory temp stays below 84c and the card consumes 252 watts (instead of stock 304) Also made custom fan curve. Fan speed maxes out at 1950rpms to achieve these temps. (Fans are barely audible) my cpu fans are a lot Louder and over power the gpu fan noise) cpu is a 7800x3d and cpu cooler is the thermalright phantom spirit.

Windows 11 found it as a drive immediately upon USB connection.

- The 9700X is a very efficient CPU. Paired with my 240mm liquid AIO, my computer runs whisper quiet. - If you enable PBO, the 9700X offers great overclocking potential.

- Looks awesome - No issues at all.

- Low Power Consumption -6c/12t Zen 3 CPU for less than $100 -Free CPU cooler

This motherboard has plenty of connections, including multiple RGB headers if you are into that, and at least 2 M.2 PCI slots, one with a heatsink and one without.

I like the quality and reliability

It stores the things. Good value.

One of the best value boards, fast wifi, enough ram/SSD slots. Also comes with mutiple ARGB headers, fan headers, and an expansion slot for any extra accesories.

AM5 socket, ease of use, heatsink for gen 5 drive, pcie 5.0 compatible, plenty of RGB and fan/aio headers, sleek black look for black builds. USB-c on back panel, easy to use bios.

- The easy connect features for the SSD and the GPU are great - The online documentation was all very helpful - First time building a PC and I feel like this motherboard was a big part of my success

I really like all the usb ports, last one didn't have enough. Didn't have any trouble with setup, researched everything before buying to make sure. The build quality is really good and looks good.

Runs cool. Easy application.

- It works - Plenty of USB ports - USB antenna is not limited to I/O port but has a magnetic base and can be moved and positioned as needed - LED troubleshooting

Better performing than the super cheap Gigabyte D3HP B650 bundle board it replaced with the same components. Has all the features I want. (Good VRM. Plenty of M2 slots. PCIe 5.0 for the GPU and one M2.) Nice looking. Comes with Dolby Atmos license.

-I think, as expected, I had no issues with it.
