This motherboard is a great value. I love it
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
I decided on this motherboard that I paired with an I7 10700k. This Z490 motherboard is super awesome. It is a good quality build and has lot's of extras such as built in RGB lighting. The built in wi-fi made it real easy to connect and it has separate headphone and microphone ports. What I really love the most is the two M2 memory slots. I do some video and photography editing and the NvMe SSD makes a big difference in retrieving large files quickly. I originally intended to use only one of those M2 slots but after seeing just how fast they are I decided on getting both slots filled. I am not too savvy with technology so I have not messed too much with overclocking in the BIOS. However, I did get this motherboard because it does allow you to easily overclock both the CPU and memory with a single click in the BIOS. I also have a lot of internal HDD drives from years of photography and this motherboard has 4 drives that you can connect internally. There are a total of 6 that you can connect internally but you lose connections if you use the M2 memory slots. This is fine as there are still lots of USB connections in the back to attach external drives. It also has an USB type C connection which is a must for me. The EZ Debug LED were very helpful during the build. These LEDs are indicator lights that tell you the status of your components such as CPU, RAM memory, and graphics card as your system is booting. With the price just under $200 it's a great value ... show more

Amazing, but definitely not for beginners.
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
It was my first time building a PC, and the motherboard was super easy to install. However, upon booting up I was put in MSI’s BIOS menu. There was no problem, until I couldn’t leave the BIOS. Every time I exited the BIOS, the computer would shut off, and when I booted back up, I was put back in the menu again. I was booting up from a flash drive with windows installed on it so I was very confused as to why it wasn’t working. Luckily, I have a friend who is very experienced with PC’s so he managed to get it working after putting the flash drive in his own rig and messing with it. After we got it working though, it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. It looks, and performs absolutely amazing! TL;DR This motherboard’s BIOS menu is very confusing, and needs someone with experience to handle. But it’s a great motherboard. ... show more

Do your Homework
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
upgrading from a 300 dollar evga ftw+ motherboard and couldn't be happier. the tools that come with msi motherboard are fantastic and compared to my last mother board i feel that i overpayed on my last one. this mother board has the latest wifi out right now and i paired it with a intel 10850k cpu and didn't even have to mess with my bios for it to work. was smooth and easy. the only thing i have to over as far as advice is that i'm using a 2070 nvdea graphics card so its pretty big and when you build your pc you should plug in your sata cabels before plugging in your GPU because other wise the graphics card if your using a rather larger one like me will cover a few of the sockets for sata. so just be sure to plug the cables first. however if your not using 4 different drives the board does have two more sata sockets below the other 4 that are more roomy and very easy to access even with gpu installed. recomended ram slots are 2 and 4 oth this board so dont use 1 and 3 if your using only 2 ram cards. just thought i'd save you the time in finding that out. Make sure your regular boot works before you use msi boot. i say this because many people who do custom rigs if using a usb to instal windows on a drive often have problems booting after removing usb. do your homework. once your regular boot works then you can turn on msi fast boot. because msi fast boot will disable usb plugs to prioritize boot speed and you wont be able to access bios if you run into a problem. you'd have to reset the board by removing battery. if your an experianced builder your not going to run into problems. Great Board!!! ... show more

A million trillion FPS
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
After buying this board, I discovered that the Z490 series of motherboards can be really hit or miss. Some brands are solid, some are garbage. Thankfully, MSi's board seems to fall into the solid category. To start, it fits extremely snuggly in my Corsair 220T case -- it's a mid-tower ATX case, and I am skeptical that it would fit in anything any smaller. The waterblock for my CPU was easy to install onto it. The WiFi is pulling faster speeds than Ethernet on my last board. And it fully utilizes my 3600MHz RAM, which my last motherboard (MSi B460M Mortar) was not able to do with it's 3000MHz cutoff. The LEDs really improve system performance as well with their lightning fast light delivery directly to your retinas. As for reliability, I've only had it for about a week and a half so it's hard to say. I'm happy with the motherboard though, and my only complaint is it isn't giving me a million FPS. The audacity! ... show more

This board is a dream.. MSI software is a nightmare.
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
This is my favorite board to build on, hands down. I built in a Corsair 4000X case and it’s like they were meant to be. Cable management turned out super clean (see photos) and the fit and finish on everything is top-notch. I built this system with an MSI 3080 ti, an i7 10700K, and 32gb of Corsair Vengeance. Everything runs perfect, the ram profiled in auto, and all the sensors work awesome with Aida64. Performance and stability have been great. My one gripe is the MSI software, especially Mystic Light. As soon as I installed it I started having issues with iCUE (specifically with the aforementioned fam) and I can’t figure out how to get rid of them besides a fresh Windows install. MSI software tends to include tons of background services that don’t uninstall when you remove the software. This has cause me many headaches over the last few days. The “solution”, for now, is to boot my machine and let all 100 MSI processes get running in the background, and then manually boot iCUE. TL;DR the board is perfect and the experience would have been, if it weren’t for two days of software woes just to change the colors of some LEDs. ... show more

Feature packed quality motherboard
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
Very nice board(MPG z490 gaming edge wifi) paired with a I7 10700k, 16gb 3200mhz, RM650 corsair power supply, 512gb nvme m.2, 2tb sata drive and a 1050ti (for now) and so far everything has been pretty much perfect. I did have issues with the bios not scaling properly for my 720p TV causing crashing and lockups on the bios screen, seems to be an issue with MSI boards and swapping to a 1080p screen fixed my issue, I guess 720p is getting pretty outdated and the fact its a TV not a monitor I can't fault the board but others should be aware of this issue before you go reflashing BIOS(like I did). Overclocks for ram and processor are a very easy one click affair and the I7 10700k runs at 5.1 with no issues just more noise from the fans. I would recommend this mobo to anyone looking to build a decent pc on a budget while also not sacrificing features. ... show more

Good Clean Stable Value
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
I spent a ridiculous amount of time researching MB and processors and ultimately landed on the MSI MB in my latest build. This MB was easy to install and set up and looks good and the website for drivers and support is updated and nice. I would recommend this MB for a mid-range/gaming intel built and recommend MSI. I've had success with Asus as well as Gigabyte in the past so basically the moral of the story is having a good install experience and everything to work which is hit or miss with electronics but I've been nothing but pleased with this MSI board and the near 5 start global rating seems to agree with me. ... show more

Amazing Mobo, just make sure to disable OC before doing BIOS update
Size: ATX Style: MPG Z490 GAMING EDGE WIFI
This motherboard is amazing! Only issue my brother and friend had with this motherboard, is that if you update the BIOS while you have CPU/XMP OC profiles activated, you will 99/100 brick the mobo where the CPU Debug LED will be lit and the computer will not turn on. The BIOS tells you not to update the BIOS when you have OC enabled when you enable the OC, but it never says anything about this when you actually try to update the BIOS using M-FLASH, which is crazy stupid. I had been scared to update the BIOS on mine after my bro and friends mobo's were bricked from it, but I decided to do it today, and so I disabled the OC's, and then updated, and it updated perfectly with no issues. Sad on MSI's part that they don't warn you of this when you update the BIOS, but other than that, this motherboard is top-notch amazing and the performance is great. ... show more
