Bought this MB with a Raptor Lake i5 to replace my old Asus Zxx MB and Kaby Lake i7 that were not capable of upgrading to Windows 11. Reused my old CM PS, CM Heatsink, Nvidia card and even my old 16GB of PC4 RAM. Booted-up and it automatically booted Windows 10 from my old SSD. I was then able to "Upgrade" to Windows 11 (rather than having to buy a new copy) and it has worked perfectly. When I first started doing builds 30 years ago, if you changed the CPU, MB or HD, you had to start all over. Not this time. Don't know why?

LGA1700 will be around for a while PCI 5.0 will be available for next gen GPU Supports 128gb DDR5 (anything above 64 is overkill) Supports 4 M.2 slots

- everything is labeled

This is a really nice, currently running smoothly, Intel LGA1700 board, from ASUS via Newegg. The manufacture date printed on the box is 2025-04, and existing BIOS version was up to date for 14th gen Intel Core CPU. Not a single problem installing and setting up in an ATX case with DDR5, various other parts, fans, M.2 SSDs, HDD drive, BluRay burner etc. On-board Intel AX201 WiFi works great. I downloaded BIOS updates , Drivers and (ASUS AISuite 3) direct from ASUS website. . After I had it up and running I used ASUS' free download of "ASUS DriverHub" to check for further driver updates. I'm very happy with this board and ASUS. Would absolutely buy again. Only real shocker was the price of 32GB DDR5 - costs more than the board does, go figure.

Was able to get DDR5 to 9200Mhz CL40 with this motherboard so very happy about that. I am sure with more manual tuning rather than AI tuning can achieve even more gains.

- Lots of USB ports - Lots of M.2 slots - Stunning Looks - Solid build - Fair price considering cost of everything has gone up

Great price and quick shipping! ASUS is definitely one of my favorite manufacturers now!

Very well made and can handle anything you throw at it . A+ on the bios flashback to get the board to post!

PCB layers -board feels very solid, no flex when plugging in the 24 pin Built in IO Shield - just a nice quality feature with straight forward IO and not a bunch of extras Great Cooling - board stays stable on air under load M.2 Armor

-As advertised -Steady shipping

-Stable -Plug and Play -great compatibility -good IO -easy to use bios -all m.2 slots cant be used without taking lanes from your GPU

Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.

- Was easy to recover from a failed firmware upgrade due to bad RAM with BIOS flashback feature. - BIOS is easy to use and tune. - Can use EXPO settings for AMD DDR5 on Intel CPU's. - Runs cool. - Plenty of NVME and SATA ports. - Lots of fan headers and expansion options. - Looks good, not overly done with RGB, a little bit that glows from under the GPU is a nice touch.

- works great - has rgb controllers (that I don't use) - software gives control on desktop - wifi antenna has magnetic base so you can slap it anywhere on the case

5 Gb ethernet port. Large number of high bandwidth port options. Overbuilt VRM section. Very good but not not excellent build quality. Amazing options for a board near the bottom of MSI's product family.

Lots of features like thunderbolt and wifi 7 Paired with my Intel 285k and 8000mhz ram using Intel 200k update beats x3d amd Cpus Lots of space for nvmes

I like this one better than my Asus Z690 board the bios is so much better I think.

Very easy to install Instructions clean and understandable

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

Useful adapters, generous IO and the software and bios are convenient to use and the least annoying among all others i have tried
