Pros: Mid grade board had specs meeting my needs and part of a bundle deal. Initial install was fine and booted but 30 minutes in it was obvious it was bad. CPU, Ram hard drives all not detected intermittently but then constant. The replacement board had BIOS issues but once flashed is flawless... so far.

Cons: This replaced a 14 yr old Asus M5A99FX Pro board with far better quality headers and had 8 SATA ports instead of just 4. The MSI does also have 2 for M2 drives and many more modern features as well as Win 11 capable.

Overall Review: Knowing what I know now I would have purchase an Asus board and spent the extra $.
