    Pros: It posted Stays cool Needs bios update I hope Cons: This a weird issue I’m having every time I put the computer to sleep and try to wake it I get a ez debug light on the cpu thats flashes twice and then stays lit. One of the cpu fans will continue to spin while the other fan stops completely. If I restart the system boots up fine no issues. Just cant wake from sleep. I talked to msi and they said that this is an issue that can be fixed through a bios update so I will patiently wait….

    Pros: It Posted with no issues. It OCs well and the vrms stay very cool. It also has all the important features without any of the bling which is a bonus for me. Cons: The is a strange issue where if you put your computer to sleep and wake it back up you get a cpu debug light and it wont turn on until you restart the computer. Also, there is no option in BIOS to disable the E cores. Overall Review: This motherboard has a great vrm, great feature set, and no RGB which is a bonus for me.

  3. Serban V.

    Pros: The board has a very good set of features, – 4 M.2 Slots It also comes with some little m.2 clips which are nice because you don’t need to screw the m.2 ssd in. – 6 Sata Ports – Wifi 6 – 1 PCIE 16x 5.0 There’s no real consumer uses for 5.0 yet but potentially could be useful in the future. – 2 PCIE 16x 3.0 – 6x Audio Jacks The motherboard’s power delivery for my 12700kf has been perfect. I do not think a 12900k maxed out would have any issue either but I’m not able to test that. The…

  4. Xuehao Z.

    Pros: 1. Double the M.2 slots (four total) compared to previous motherboards (Z490 and earlier only had two), this is huge as M.2 is becoming main stream 2. Eight 4-pin fan headers is more than generous. 3. MSI BIOS is easy to work with, also MSI has the best fan settings among major brands. It’s so easy to select each fan and corresponding temperature source, then choose between PWM and DC mode, and set your own fan curve or run at fixed speed. This is way better than ASUS and ASRock’s…

    Pros: – Great price – Great feature – Wifi / Bluetooth 5 Cons: – No optical for sound I’m having an issue using both onbard graphic card and pcie gpu at the sametime not showing boot until arriving in windows, but to be honest it’s probably an option somewhere in the bios that i couldn’t find. Overall Review: I would recommand it easily. Worked out of the box. Thx MSI.

  6. Jiachen Zhou

    Pros: Great value, the price is reasonable. This motherboard can fit 12 gen Intel CPU perfectly. It does the basic job. Cons: I have a big cooling fan so it cannot perfectly fit into this motherboard, it would be installed on top of the DDR4 slots. Also, the manual is hard to follow so I use an online tutorial video for reference. Overall Review: This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program. I would recommend buying this motherboard because it does most of the jobs, and the price is…

  8. MegaSkrunch

    Pros: – lots of space – no RGB – easy to set up – lots of VRM Cons: – at my time of purchase the mobo did not ship with any network drivers installed, I had to install them from a USB drive after installing the OS – newest non-beta BIOS does not have good support for XMP profiles/RAM, although XMP is enabled my RAM speed in benchmarks is not what BIOS has listed – IO shields are the worst Overall Review: Overall I would recommend this motherboard if you want a minimal design. It will only…
