Great motherboard and looks very clean and sleek in my MSI build. Love how simple the BIOS is. The rgb lights on board under the heat shield add a nice little accent.

Pros
+Clean Design and layout with excellent header locations
+Excellent Feature Set, including 2.5G LAN
+Subtle onboard LED Lighting
Cons
-Given the full ATX board, it might have been better to create more space between the PCIe x16 slot and M.2 Location, a very minor quibble for an otherwise excellent mobo.

I use to be an AMD user for quite a while. Built new system. Dropped I7 10700k 10 gen processor in this MSI board with Samsung EVO 970 vnand. From the time I hit the power button to the windows pass code I'm up and running online in about 15 seconds. I have seen improved surfing speeds and no problems running multiple applications. This MB has so many features in overclocking its amazing. Used to always use Asus and after reading up on MSI and the new intel processors I know I made the right choice.

Excellent Motherboard for the price. Supports my i9 11900k great and my 3070ti with very little impact on performance (If it does at all). The LEDs are a nice little addition. However, the LAN port only supports 2.5gbps which is okay but I wish it was 5gpbs. For the price though I will not complain!

Running an i7 10700k and RTX 3070 with no hitches. RGB lighting is nice as I have other lighting on my setup. LGA 1200 socket runs the latest processors and at this price it’s been serving me well.

Pretty standard mobo by today’s standards. Dark/black theme is nice. Much shielding throughout. Paired it with an i7-10700 (locked) CPU. No issues with the board so far. Mystic Light and RGB/Rainbow headers are nice to control other RGB-enabled fans, etc.

This is a great motherboard if you know what you are doing. You have to get into the bios and change the setting from UFEI to CSM. If not and you touch any key it will not boot. This means with an added video card you cannot get into the bios. I had to use the onboard graphics to get it fixed. I even called MSI and they just said sounds like a bios bug. Once set to cms in bios this was rock stable, boots fast and performs well. That is the reason for 3 stars not 5. Perhaps they will default the bios to csm in a future bios to save people a headache. Yes my cards are UEFI compliant.
