Great motherboard. MSI brought great value with a great list of features for the enthusiast . LGA 1200 So I installed a i7-10700k and was greeted with user friendly XMP and overclocking options my first visit to the BIOS . ARGB adds to the great look of this board. The ease of use and price point made my purchase a great experience that I use daily !

It’s a great motherboard. It has plenty of ports and gets the job done connecting all of my pc parts. Bios is decent too. And the price has gone down a lot since I’ve purchased mine so that’s a plus.

Bit pricy but a nice board. Only thing to note is that in some cases it’s impossible to reach the top left stand-off screw. Other than that no compatibility issues in a Corsair x465 case. RGB is a little dim but a minor thing.

First one I bought was DOA, BestBuy immediately sent a replacement with next day shipping, so far so good. MSI isn't so bad as long as you stick with their higher end stuff.

Bought this to replace the same model I ordered elsewhere online. The other board (not this one) had a damaged CPU socket. This one was flawless. Built out with an Intel Core i7-10700K, 64GB RAM, and 1TB NVMe drive. Ridiculously faster than ancient Dell Inspiron-530 it replaced! Not the ultimate build, but definitely hit the sweet spot for value. Overclocking automatically by specific app is dead simple using Dragon Center. Great in Extreme Performance mode for doing heavy video editing, streaming with OBS, data modelling, or other CPU intensive work. The rest of the time, it stays in Silent mode. Great board for good performance that won't break the bank. Good luck with your builds. CPUs and GPUs are getting difficult to find, and the prices are going through the roof.

Great next gen board, for a reasonable price. Built with i9 10900k, RTX 3070, m.2 ssd, 32gb ddr4. Runs great. Easy build and easy OC to 5.2. Booted up first try and I haven’t built a system in 10+ years. Lots has changed but this board was simple and the instructions were clear enough. Bluetooth and wifi are a huge bonus at this price point. Also have room for upgrades and future compatibility with pci4, 128gb max ram and intel 11th gen

This is the medium range MSI Intel MOBO that will put you head most of the graphical intensive games. For the price you get: Bluetooth connectivity (meaning you can connect all your XBOX controllers directly without the hassle of using adapters), wifi (no need for WIFI adapters), and of course this is an Intel CPU mobo meaning you don't have to go through the headache of being extra careful of bending the CPU pins like the AMD MOBOs.
The onboard OC options are relatively basic, but a nice thing to have for the beginners. Keep in mind that this board is not for the enthusiast gamer.

This is my first MSI MB, coming from multiple Gigabyte's. The install went smoothly and the board has subtle looks with understated MB LED lighting. The system has been stable, although I have had it for a very short while, and hope it is reliable in the long run.
Pros: User-friendly BIOS, Great VRMs, Built-in WiFi 6, Bluetooth Connectivity, 2.5GbE, Front USB-C connector, very well written Manual for a beginner PC build
Very minor cons: Only 1 CPU fan header, 1 M.2 heat sink, prefer more Sys Fan headers at top/side
This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program.

MSI Make Great Motherboards

MSI is motherboard brand of choice. I've probably built 15 computers with their boards and never had an issue, so i keep coming back. They're built with quality, feature the right number of VRMs for overclocking if that's what you're into (i'm not), look sleek in a case with a tempered glass side panel, and offer plenty of features for your standard build.
I went with this board in particular because of the price point for what it offered and the color scheme, and so far it's running like a champ.
