It's a pretty long motherboard and I was able to use the top pcie slot and bottom pcie slot. I like the ability to flash the bios using the back i/o and the good-performing networking. Had an issue trying to get the ram in sufficiently but did after some effort. I like the easy plug and unplug for gpu and the easily removed cover for the first m.2 slot.

Works and seems rock solid. Decent bios setup, plenty of fan headers. I actually got better drive benchmark from an external NVMe USB 3.0 drive than I did with a Samsung 850 Sata SSD. (installed Windows to go on the NVMe)

16+2+2 VRM Thermal Padding for m.2 EZ m.2 installation Overall high quality board

Works great, no issues!

Very fast paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. One item of note, some BIOS changes such as disabling the onboard vid requires a full 5min pause after saving the change. This kind of threw me off thinking the BIOS had an issue. Otherwise I love it. Included paperwork only has a quick start guide not the full user guide or bios guide . Both are downloadable from the Asus website.

more vrms than b650i USB high speed port w/dp-alt (not usb4 for 9000 series) Tons of USB Better Audio Chip Has the bios flashback as needed Apple studio monitor works with dp-alt passthrough on the usb c. Monitor, speakers, webcam, usb on back. All work! (You may need a different cable than the apple supplied one)

Nice layout Easy bios flash Booted right away with 9800x3d PCIE 5.0 2 ssd spots with no PCIE 5.0 interference

Workability, Usability, esthetics, was very easy to install and set up. It lets my components breathe and work to the nine without any issues. Set it up with dual boot of windows and a specially made kali linux version they did for me.

The unboxing experience was great. Godlike absolutely beautiful High class in every way possible Cables are of very high quality Easy of installation Both screens look great The finish looks perfect The feel of the board is heavy and you can tell a lot went into building this motherboard Ports are abundant plenty for all needs plus some Options are future-proof I'm a casual gamer and work on pc. Doesn't get better than this. Great Job Team Msi!!

Pairing this board with Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX 7900 XTX and (2x32) 64GB RAM, I'm getting a mind blowing performance in both gaming and productivity work loads like 3D rendering and modeling video/photo editing, OBS streaming/endcoding etc... and the system is super stable ! Definitely this is the Best Mini ITX board, I love it !


Easy to install 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.

"This Review for ASRock review rebate program." - Solid feel and design. - Great space to work with. - Everything made sense and is well labeled - Love the POST LED - Love the no-screw m2

Worked out of the box with Ryzen 5600G. Wifi and Bluetooth are great. The wifi antenna looks very cool.

Install was a breeze: MSI has finally nailed the "EZ" life. The M.2 clips mean no more hunting for those tiny, soul-crushing screws, and the PCIe release button is a lifesaver if you have a massive GPU. Built for the future: Wi-Fi 7 is fast, and having USB4 ports is a huge plus for my external drives. I feel like I won't need to upgrade this platform for a long, long time. Overclocking? No sweat: The power delivery on this board is overkill in the best way possible. My Ryzen chip stays rock solid, and the heatsinks actually do their job instead of just looking pretty.

This is an absolutely awesome motherboard specially in the bio settings. There are tons of options.

Pairs great with the 12th and 13th gen intel. Decent overclocking capabilities Good amount of ports It's sometimes hard to find a motherboard around this price range with a dedicated flash button. Fits pretty well in the Corsair 5000D Airflow case. There was one small hiccup with the CPU power connector on the motherboard being right next to the big heatsink at the top. It was hard to fit the cables in while also mounting the H150i Elite Capellix AIO. The CPU cables were blocking the AIO from being mounted properly at the top. Eventually I found a way by using a bit of force and pushing the cables to the left and towards the back of the case as much as possible and was then able to mount the AIO securely.


I haven't built a PC since 2017 so this one is a huge upgrade from that era. It's also my first Gigabyte/Aorus product and have had no issues getting it up and running with a 9800x3d and 64gb Corsair RAM with expo enabled. I haven't really tinkered with it nor needed to. Stable, cool, and quiet in all stress-testing and gaming. -Tons of connectivity -Fan headers all over -Solid, well-built, and has massive heatsinks -Classy and subtle RGB -Great looking board for a white/cold looking build, though my air cooler blocks half the view
