Pros: I really like this board for threadripper 1950x - Rock solid at 2933 with Corsair CMK32GX4M4C3000C15 (using all 4 channels) - the RGB can be set in the BIOS, which is perfect for Linux (I'm running Fedora 27) - headers for 4 front panel USB 3 - UEFI BIOS is easy to use, with every possible knob settable in advanced mode. - LED debug (2 digit) display is really nice, and it can also display CPU temperatures! I love this. - It drives the water cooler and all the fans, and they are super easy to config in the BIOS - Did I mention it runs rock solid, first try?

Cons: - it uses the foxconn CPU socket which is tricky to screw down. I simply made sure I caught the threads for all three screws before tightening them in order. Worked first time, no problems.

Overall Review: Be aware it needs power on 24 pin, 8 pin, and an extra 4 pin. Make sure you get a power supply that provides this.

Pros: Good price. Excellent performance. Smaller than comparable units. Exactly the sweet spot I was looking for.

Cons: Completely died after five minutes. (And, yes, I double checked the MSI 1000w power supply.) The old card (a Radeon 7600) went back in and worked fine. This card has a good reputation - guess I just was unlucky. Newegg accepted the return immediately - thank you Newegg!

Overall Review: Great card if it doesn't die.

Pros: I just upgraded from the predecessor (MSI MPG X670E) and there are several advantages: - I really like the new BIOS - it is much easier to understand and to use. - The default BIOS configuration is much better - I only had to turn on EXPO and set my fans. - operation is rock solid, with expo timing and gen5 crucial ssd. Really fast! - The button release for the graphics card slot is really nice. - Great gen5 support

Cons: - My main complaint is that the scsi went from 6 to 4 ports. I really needed 5, so one device had to go external. Am I the only one still doing internal RAID and BD drive? - The included USB drive (supposedly for BIOS updates) was DOA. I have a ticket in on this. We'll see... - The two USB3 ports point out horizontally from under the heatsink. It is really hard to plug those cables in. It would be much easier if they were vertical or not under the heatsink. - registering the board with MSI is pretty much impossible. They require the serial number and verifier, and the ones on the box didn't work. My only other option is to take my case apart and look for the ones on the motherboard itself. No thank you...

Overall Review: Recommended for the BIOS, performance, and stability. Just make sure you can live with 4 internal scsi ports, and take a picture of the serial number on the board before installation. UPDATE: MSI support was superb, and replaced the dead thumb drive with no hassle. Second, I added a small pcie to 4 port scsi internal card for $25, and am happily using 8 ports. Should have done this before... I upped the review from 4 to 5 stars.

Pros: - Linux: Total of 32 processors activated (274665.92 BogoMIPS) !! - Easy to install - runs cool - tctl averages 50c, peaks around 90c under heavy load (with a 240 AIO). - very stable with expo at 6000mhz, and two gen 5 ssd.

Cons: none observed

Overall Review: Great cpu, highly recommended.

Pros: When gen 5 is working, the speeds are great , around 11700mB/s

Cons: UPDATE: I updated this to 5 stars - the problem I was having turned out to be BIOS configuration problems MSI was kind enough to help with. Original: Gen 5 compatibility is problematic, at least with MSI motherboards. I have an MSI x670e Carbon, and with Expo memory overclocking turned off (4800mhz ddr5) the drive works perfectly. If I turn on Expo, my memory is solid at 6000mhz, but this drive's performance drops by 50%. Others on the MSI forum have problems with this drive. ymmv.

Overall Review: Great drive. (configuring your BIOS may be a bit trickjy.)

Pros: This is for the tempered class version. - as the photo shows, it has a front usb-c and three 5.25 external bays. - The tempered glass is very scratch resistant and looks great. - lots of room - tons of cable straps and attachment points make cable dressing easy - very solid, quality construction.

Cons: - It's a full tower, so it is BIG. - Not really a con, but some recent AIO coolers (e.g. ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 240) are too deep to fit top mounted above the motherboard. Just be sure to check the AIO depth. - Not a con, but I have a motherboard (MSI MPG X670e carbon) with six fan connectors, so I don't use the case's fan driver board.

Overall Review: This is a GREAT case. High quality, with tons of room and all the bays and features you could ever want.
