I picked this up while it was on sale back in 2023. It's been a great motherboard for more than a year now. I've paired it with an I5 13600K, RTX 4070 TI Super and let me tell you, it's an absolute beast and the motherboard seals the deal. Here's what I like most: 1. Lightning Fast USB C Port 2. Built In WIFI and Bluetooth 3. The Fast RAM Slots With XMP (Overclock) 4. The Design Of The Board Itself 5. Heatsink for the SSD / Storage It was an ease to install inside my NXZT H5 Flow. Didn't really have any issues at all, and it's pretty straight forward if you know your basics. Overall great board, will be purchasing from MSI in the future.

I've not really had issues with MSI boards. They are solid, feel solid, have heft and quality in the parts. Not tinsel town like other 'popular' brands. I've slapped an i7 14700k (got a bin before the disaster), some 6400 32gb ram, and a 4080 on this, and its been handling everything I throw at it. Not a single hiccup or glitch. BIOS is typical, has some MSI specifics, but thats fine. Onboard audio is always a joke, on every motherboard, so its really impossible to zing a star on that. Grab a SB-Z like a normal person and you won't suffer. Keep it clean, keep it cool. And it will last you. Best of all: no silly RGB nonsense!

Pros: • Aside from an issue with a certain TV I was initially trying to use it did POST and get to the BIOS screen after I plugged in a PC monitor. • Windows 11 install was fine. Ethernet port worked out of the box for immediate connection to the Internet and no driver install required that Windows doesn't handle automatically. i.e. Windows 11 just works when installing from USB. Some minor nits that I'm giving it 4 stars for. But after tweaking, it's a 5-star experience. Nits: • It recognized my 13th Gen Core i9-13900 on first POST. The BIOS version was a 2022 version. A bios update was required for it to enable the XMP profiles on my RAM. (I only used 5200mhz Corsair RAM). I already anticipated all this and had the updated BIOS ready to go on a USB key. It was easy and painless to update the BIOS. • When you first get to the Windows desktop after installing the OS, the Windows Platform Binary Table of the OS feature will attempt to run an MSI specific EXE from the motherboard. This will prompt you to install the MSI Software Center. Honestly, you should to decline to install it and/or disable this feature from the BIOS settings. Otherwise, it puts some bloatware on the computer like Norton 360 trial edition, outdated versions of CpuID, and some cheezy software. And the MSI program would often show up in the task manager as one of the most active programs. Again, without all this, Windows 11 will put on the latest stable drivers including Nvidia GPU drivers. I wound up doing a clean install of Windows 11 so this stuff wouldn't get laid down at all. • Most important. On the first bios update, a dialog pops up on the BIOS screen asking you to declare what type of cooler you have: "box", "tower air", or "liquid". Given the graphic for liquid showed an AIO cooler similar to mine, that's what I picked up. DO NOT pick "liquid". This has the side effect of setting the Long Duration Power Limit (PL1) and Short Term Power Limit (PL2) to unlimited. This has the effect of running any popular benchmark software program such as Prime95, Cinebench, CpuID, etc... to have the cores hit the 100 degree thermal limit within a minute. I seriously thought my AIO cooler wasn't working at all. After some research, I experimented with setting the cooler profile in the bios between "box" and "tower air". "Box" runs your power limits to match Intel's spec and then you won't hit those high temperatures at all. If you want a little overclocking performance without taking a risk, you can do what I did: Set "tower air" as the cooler profile and change the thermal throttle cap from 100 degrees to 95. That should solve most of the issues around high temperatures and Core-i9 processors with this board. You can also lower the long term power (PL1) to be slightly lower than PL2 and lower the transition time. YMMV.

PRICE: I purchased this board for 209.99 over Black Friday 2023. It wasn’t the cheapest I’ve seen this board, and it wasn’t the cheapest board I could find. I like MSI and Gigabyte boards, but I couldn’t find a Gigabyte of similar quality for a similar price. So I went with this board. In 2017 I paid $165 for a similar quality board, so I’m not going to cry over $40. BUILD: paired it with a 13700kf and 6000mhz RAM, and a gen 5 m.2 boot drive. No issues, everything was plug in play and worked like a charm. There are enough fan headers (I’m using 5) on the board for any normal situation. There is about a 3-5 second delay from the power button being pressed, to the bios splash screen coming up. After that startup is 3 seconds. DRIVER ISSUE: I downloaded the latest drivers for the board from MSI, and after my Windows install I found that I couldn’t connect to the internet. Not sure why the network driver was messed up, but luckily I had a laptop to download the network drivers. After the install the board worked like a charm. AESTHETICS: I find that as I get older, I care less and less about LED’s. The lack there of on this board was a plus, and I honestly really like the matte black and white finish. Some of the gaming MOBO versions have a lot of plastic and look tacky a little too tacky for my taste. FINAL THOUGHTS: I’d recommend this board if you’re looking for a 13700k or higher, plan on having multiple storage drives, and are looking for a productivity/gaming build. Don’t overspend on your MOBO. I strongly dislike needing multiple LED softwares. Every brand has their own version, and they rarely play nice together. MSI has an app center you can download, and control your MOBO, peripherals, and RAM LED’s. I’d much prefer having control in the bios, but it is what it is. I have Corsair LL fans. ICUE doesn’t sync with MSI mystic lighting so you just have to do your best to adjust lighting colors and effects. Again, I am starting to care less about LED’s, but I might enjoy them more if I could control them from one software hub. That’s more of a rant about software, than this MOBO. Other than that the bios is fairly easy to navigate, and the overclocking settings are easy to get to.

For the most part, it does all the things you need for a quality build. I say for the most part because I had an issue where I couldn't get the motherboard to recognize my secondary hard drive (primary HD is an M.2, secondary is a SATA). Am aware the M.2 shares a lane with one of the SATA ports, but none of the ports recognized my SATA drive (and yes, SATA worked fine on my old PC- even plugged it in during build to make sure.) Tried fidgeting with bios and updating all the things, just couldn't get them to dance. In fairness, I've basically not tried to fix since the initial X hours I spent on getting the SATA to work during the build. I don't know if more people have had this issue or its just me, or if the issue has been resolved since I purchased the board. I haven't gone back because the M.2 has plenty of room and I've had zero problems otherwise that have necessitated going into the case. I've had no issues getting anything else to work right. It is a sub-$200 board, and so it might not have, say, as many of this or that slots or whatever as a mega expensive overblown motherboard, but it has all the high end you need for a beefy, modern, straightforward build that can do everything well.

Has most of the features you would want in a standard mother board: Good Front panel connections Lots of Fan pins Decent Build quality Built-in Wifi and Bluetooth Multiple M.2 Slots The front IO are in good locations. Only exception would be the audio one which is on the bottom left. Some of the M.2 slots may get blocked by the graphics card so be aware of that. Be careful with the RGB pins as this was the only part of the product that I almost damaged during installation. BIOS is straight forward for the most part. BIOS flash worked as advertised. Overall I can not complain about the price to performance that this board provides.
