Pros: RGB, Got it on sale! More than I needed, but a little future proof. I love MSI stuff, used them all but MSI is my go to. Great features, and bios.

Cons: My XPG Spectrix S40 RGB won't fit properly under heat sink, (used from my old build since windows was on it already). Not sure on how to fix this without replacing the m.2 with another m.2.

Overall Review: Definitely a great motherboard, strong, easy to install in system that was upgraded.( Upgraded from a b350m bazooka). Didn't back anything up. Windows never skipped a beat. Haven't had any driver issues or major crashes. I had a couple crashes where the system has locked up during gameplay, pretty sure it because of sandbox though.

Pros: Bought on sale, upgraded from 1500x. Using MSI b350m bazooka. Running XPG D80 3000 overclocked. And a EVGA 2070 super ultra xc. Now this thing is awesome. Soon be upgrading MB, LianLi case, and liquid cooling. Turbo boost 4.3 MHz

Cons: Stock cooler is good, but 48 c idle. Never gets over 80 but I haven't even started to OC and its running 75 to 80 loaded. So liquid cooling, here I come.

Overall Review: Great CPU for gaming, won't bottleneck with my 2070. Turbo boost is nice, Stock cooler ok for regular use, but a cheap aftermarket would do much better. Can't beat what I paid for it on sale.

Ram is excellent, looks great, easy to install. But 1 stick dead on arrival! Haven't overclocked it yet. But not going too far when I do. Still waiting on RMA # two days later. Luckily the other stick works for now.
