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.

-Nice compact board, worked great with my new Ryzen 5 3600 -Works great with Corsair Vengence Pro RGB

This is pretty much as good as it gets. Yes, there are teething issues with WRX90 because it's such a new platform, but once you get past those, the board has been rock solid.

Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!

Easy BIOS Great Features Problem LED light let me know issues when wouldn't boot


Sturdy Upgrade from previous MSI motherboards The placements have improved with SATA I think I enjoy the pins on the motherboard rather than the CPU Overall just better

Fits all the features you want in a small package -Supports USB4 -Supports Wifi7 -Lots of temp sensors on the board and temps look great all around -Tool free install on the SSD is a nice touch. -Easy connect/disconnect on the GPU/PCI slot is a nice touch. -The built in cooler for the SSD works great.

The board has decent I/O, is easy to work with and install. The bios GUI is well thought out. Integrated WIFI 7 chipset is extremely fast and stable.

the last 2 boards iv installed have had no problems and worked without going to bios and making adjustments. 2 easy well made board, server quality for home use and a good price from newegg.

I was upgrading two PCs to run Windows 11. Inexpensive with plenty of USB 2 and 3 ports. Meets my needs - I am not a gamer

Works with and USES ECC memory, as confirmed in Ubuntu 24.04 (Kingston KSM48E40BD8KI-32HA). I didn't have to fiddle with the bios at all - either to get full performance in Passmark versus existing baselines, or to get ECC memory to be recognized and to work in Linux. This was great, as I "upgraded" early from my (not old) Gigabyte B760M with the borked 13900K.

Plenty of heads for multiple fans and case inputs. Works with 14th Gen i7.

- My first time building a PC using this motherboard but it went really well. Everything is labelled nicely and even * for the RAM so you know which slots need to be utilized. - CPU easy to install, also nicely labelled - easy to know where to plug in power supply cables for the LED/RGB lights, especially if this is your first time just take a moment and ready around the motherboard.

I haven't built a PC since 2017 so this one is a huge upgrade from that era. It's also my first Gigabyte/Aorus product and have had no issues getting it up and running with a 9800x3d and 64gb Corsair RAM with expo enabled. I haven't really tinkered with it nor needed to. Stable, cool, and quiet in all stress-testing and gaming. -Tons of connectivity -Fan headers all over -Solid, well-built, and has massive heatsinks -Classy and subtle RGB -Great looking board for a white/cold looking build, though my air cooler blocks half the view

Some motherboards I've worked with - I've felt - tended to squeeze things in. I've often had to wedge the AIO cooler into a space not quite designed for an oversized pump/heat plate combo. Not so with this board. It's well laid out, the connections are easy to access I've only had this MB up and running about a month, but so far it's been rock steady.

Easy to install and boots well. Has ARGB and RGB for lights.

Motherboard, CPU, and NVMe Hard drive that I wanted at one place and at a good price. Fast to arrive and worked to my expectations.
