Pros: 1. Everything is a pro. and I mean everything. Gotta start with the most important, the power delivery system, it is unrivaled can easily power a Ryzen 9 5900x, with solid blocks of finned aluminum heat sinks. They run a frosty 27c on division 2, or Doom Eternal. This is hours of play and max temp on the VRM's is 27c with ambient temp of 24.5c (that's 2.5c above room temps) and i'm running a Ryzen 7 5800x so this board has lots of headroom for upgrading. 2. PCIe 4.0x16 let's my XFX5700 XT do what it was built for. It really rocks now. 3. PCIe 4.0 M.2 (used for system drive) loads windows faster than a lighting strike. 4. PCIE 3.0 m.2 2T for games loads them too fast, don't have time to get coffee now!?! 5. It has 3 RGB headers 1 12 volt and 2 3.5 volt. So i added lots and lots of RGB. 6. Framerate, is now 200fps ++ on every game like Division 2, Doom eternal, CSGO, and more. 7. CPU temps NEVER go above 67c during 10+ HOUR gaming marathons on any game, that's more of a cpu cooler thing. 8. The extra pcb layers help interference between circuits. 9. Use good RAM on the QVL (check MSI website) the fewer sticks the faster the overclock I have mine OC'd to 4800 and it's perfectly stable. No crashes, No bsod's and runs faster than lighting LITERALLY! 10. wifi 6, 11. Lots of fan headers 6, plus the aio headers.
Cons: Can't find any Cons and i have looked.
Overall Review: Buy it Treat it right Cuz it really does smoke the competition
