I bought this because it had more usb ports. I use 7 peripherals, maybe more... so yeah. The m.2 does not use screws but it uses a plunger thing to lock it in. I think that's good since it prevents people from over tightening it. BIOS is easy for first timers like me.

I like how this board worked out for my build. It is very impressive. Glad this doesn't have Display port or HDMI on the back panel. I have no need for integrated graphics nor their ports. Delete your Drivers and swap video cards out. Why you need IG ? I also don't need wifi but it comes with it. I recommend that you upgrade the bios as soon as you can, Initially it sounded like a Manual Cash Register during the Windows Updates. Loud Bangs, Clicks, and thuds during the Restarts. It added to the Theater of Building. After all the driver updates it's smooth as butter. The Bios is the most user friendly I've ever seen from the Byte people. I'm investigating all the new settings i've never had before. Heavyweight Board and does not feel flimsy. My Boot times were insanely quick due to the dual pcie 5.0 m.2 slots, so quick i disabled the memory fast boot feature just so i feel old school and trying to hide the shame of spending 3k in other parts and components. QUICK Glad i bought much DDR5 before the Great Ram Inflation ! Boo

This was the only board that let me install two GPUs and not block other needed PCIe slots for other uses (swing cameras, more IO).

The company who builds my PC's are very good. They had nothing but issues with the mother board and cpu. Newegg were nothing but great and made things so much easier. I know have a great PC and will be sure to pass along the highest recommendation to everyone I know in the industry.

Four M.2 :)

Exceptional overclocking and memory timings. 9950x3d can clock to 5.9 GHz stable. Makes things smooth as butter. Having all the options to tune so many things means as time goes on we can hone in on the highest fps, lowest latency possible.

Beautiful looking, didn't even turn on x3d and when testing with 9850x3d cpu had excellent results.

Compact Big latch for removing GPU Enough specs, ports for simple build

one solid piece of equipment. It is heavy with all the heatsinks which is a real plus. I ordered another one for another rebuild.

Nice layout Easy bios flash Booted right away with 9800x3d PCIE 5.0 2 ssd spots with no PCIE 5.0 interference

- a great mobo for the price with minimal RGB (if you’re not into lights) - very pleasing to look at and the design is very minimalist!

Easy to install booted up immediately with easy to follow bios settings. Board is basic but good power delivery

- High RAM capacity (up to 256GB) - PCIe 5.0 for newer GPUs & NVMe storage - E variant has more usb ports for more connectivity -High overclocking potential

Very easy to set up, manuals are all online for reference. Very intuitive, lots of options.

Product arrived quickly and was fairly straightforward to install into my computer. A friend bought the same motherboard and had to q-flash it in order for it to work, so we did that with mine too, but I don't know if it was necessary for mine. No issues after q-flashing. Works great in my computer

Looks nice Up to date BIOS on arrival

I went with this Motherboard because it had all the features I needed/wanted and the black aesthetics as you'll be able to see with the system I'm building. The quality of this board is absolutely perfect, that's another reason I went with MSI as they have been around for a long time. Everything was pretty easy to install and get everything going/working, with this board, just do your research before hand to make sure you do not have compatibility issues and read some instructions. You can find out all the info on the MSI support site. So, I have only had this running for a short while and I have no complaints. I will update this once I have used it for a few months, other than that I am a happy MSI customer.

perfect fit for case,did everything it should,5 stars!

This has been a breeze since my older b650e riptide board died on me this board was a panic purchase. for 150 on sale this was a great board and is a good board. i hope i can get 5-10 years out of it with the 10 usb ports anbd future cpu upgrade.
