I love working with products like this.

Best motherboard for the new intel ultra CPU. Easy to set up and clear instructions to connect different hardware.

I have almost zero building computers experience outside of building a basic gaming pc last year by watching youtube videos. So that's about all the knowledge I have. I wanted to upgrade to 4 ram slots and two m.2 slots. Basically just winged the whole thing and had zero issues. I was shocked it posted first try and no issues after that. Super easy to build in. I have huge hands and everything is spaced far enough apart where even working in the case was simple.

Easy to install booted up immediately with easy to follow bios settings. Board is basic but good power delivery

- Was easy to recover from a failed firmware upgrade due to bad RAM with BIOS flashback feature. - BIOS is easy to use and tune. - Can use EXPO settings for AMD DDR5 on Intel CPU's. - Runs cool. - Plenty of NVME and SATA ports. - Lots of fan headers and expansion options. - Looks good, not overly done with RGB, a little bit that glows from under the GPU is a nice touch.

I like how this board worked out for my build. It is very impressive. Glad this doesn't have Display port or HDMI on the back panel. I have no need for integrated graphics nor their ports. Delete your Drivers and swap video cards out. Why you need IG ? I also don't need wifi but it comes with it. I recommend that you upgrade the bios as soon as you can, Initially it sounded like a Manual Cash Register during the Windows Updates. Loud Bangs, Clicks, and thuds during the Restarts. It added to the Theater of Building. After all the driver updates it's smooth as butter. The Bios is the most user friendly I've ever seen from the Byte people. I'm investigating all the new settings i've never had before. Heavyweight Board and does not feel flimsy. My Boot times were insanely quick due to the dual pcie 5.0 m.2 slots, so quick i disabled the memory fast boot feature just so i feel old school and trying to hide the shame of spending 3k in other parts and components. QUICK Glad i bought much DDR5 before the Great Ram Inflation ! Boo

Easy setup, no issues and simple software via Armoury. Matched with a 270K Plus and DDR5 7200 it screems. WiFi 7 is very stable.

Durability, ease of use, port locations

similar to the z790, which I currently have. Great look and amazing options.

-Stable -Plug and Play -great compatibility -good IO -easy to use bios -all m.2 slots cant be used without taking lanes from your GPU

Excellent performance

As a longtime fan of MSI, I may be a little biased but this board has everything you need and maybe even more than you need. I went from a 2012 PC to a 2025 PC and all my old things transferred easily and worked fine, except the old CPU and memory (of course). Very stable, with LED bios codes and secondary redundant diagnoses color LED. Surprisingly well equipped for the price. Easy bios upgrades as well.

No nonsense UEFI, easily set for XMP, easily updated, no issues.

The company who builds my PC's are very good. They had nothing but issues with the mother board and cpu. Newegg were nothing but great and made things so much easier. I know have a great PC and will be sure to pass along the highest recommendation to everyone I know in the industry.

- Sleek design - 4x fast M.2 slots - Clear CMOS button & Flash BIOS button are good to have - Great mid-range motherboard for 13th Gen

This no frills Asus Strix MB installed cleanly and loading Windows 11 was a joy using a "Rufus" bootable flash drive. I was even able to re-use an old Windows 10 license key from my work Microsoft ActionPack. I'm elated I built this pc as early as I did....prices of DDR5 ram have tripled in price....ouch! This is my first AIO enabled pc and the absence of fan noise is amazingly welcome.

PCI-E 5.0 and just glad it worked as intended as other manufacturer's don't seem to uphold quality well.



Spacious enough of a MB that even 'man fingers' can get at most of the plugs and slots. Came with tons of spare parts. Space for 4x SATA drives and 7, yes 7! M.2 drives.
