Easy set up. No issues. I didn't use the Gen5 SSD at the moment and only use Gen4 SSD's. Hopefully in the near future there will be more options better suited for it to use alongside different manufacturer sales. Yes, it's all about the costs. But it's there when wanted as time goes by.
Lot of M.2 Looks Great
Always been of fan of gigabyte brands , 20 years no problems
My motherboard purchase from new egg was very good. The board was new in a sealed box with all parts and worked perfect for my son's new build. I tried purchasing a board from Am-a-zon. What a disaster that was. First time they sent me an opened box, likely used board. Returned. Secured board was DOA and wouldn't turn on. New egg was a way better experience.
Looks nice in my setup and working great
Worked with the core i5 13600k with no BIOs update. I used a LAN line for the setup and it worked flawless. Plenty of connections of all types for fans, peripherals, etc
It works. I've had the best luck with MSI boards working and not having to return them.
The board seems sturdy and well built. There were adequate connections for all that I wanted to add to the board. The user manual provided several illustrations for the build.
The rgb on the motherboard looks really good the pcie button makes installing larger cards such as the 5090 much easier to do
I said mid loosely because while it is a mid tier priced board, it is far from mid tier. I came from being an avid Asus fan but had some trouble with their products recently. Decided to switch and found glowing reviews for MSI. First thing I noticed, this thing is well built. Feels great in the hand. The board is visually appealing and the install is a breeze. I love the fan placement and the m.2. It has beefy vrm and it has held a solid OC on my 13900k. Also holds memory stable at 7600 mhz. Very easy to OC by the way. Also it is keeping my components much cooler than my previous Asus board.
I love the speed of ram it can use, i also love how they hide the SSD, and that it has a 5.0 pcie slot. I bought this MB as a combo with the 5070 TI, and so far they've done great even for a game like MH wilds
- Has everything I was looking for plus - Decent quality - Simple installation of BIOS and drivers
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.
Sleek looking with great features.
- Visual appealing - Ample USB and M2 ports - Excellent build quality
Fortnite works great with this mobo. I feel that this is a future proof item, should last me years. I hear the OLED screen will be able to display pictures in future BIOS updates.
New LGA 1851 Lots of room for PCI 5 expansion Onboard BT and WiFi Tons of space for M.2 memory (gen 4 at least)
Durable. Easy access ports. Plenty of additional SSD ports. Easy to navigate and install.
Plenty of features. Easy to use software. What more could you want in a motherboard?
- Easy to install, particularly the RAM and CPU - BIOS mostly self-explanatory - MSI Center software is easy to understand - Well placed pinouts
