Fits nicely in a mid-sized tower, pre-mounted backplate is a nice bit of convenience. Extra hard drive slots are handy.

I am coming from a B650E motherboard with weaker RAM support. So far this board has been very strong and runs my DDR5 at 6200MT/s. I have not tried 2:1 mode and higher frequencies, but thanks to others who have reviewed this board, that looks like a certain possibility. The hardware on the board works well. It has a Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 for WiFi/Bluetooth. It has an ALC4080 for Audio, which notoriously had a lot of issues at launch back in 2021, but luckily I haven't had any issues so far. Despite being a tweaker, I do like to let my boards AUTO things when it's reasonable and works, and this board does a good job. My RAM's voltages are fully set by the board. It also does good with RAM drive strengths. I was also drawn back to MSI because they are clearly more aggressive and speedy with their BIOS updates. They were the first with AGESA PI-1.2.02b, weeks before everyone else. And as an AM5 and Zen 5 user, this is important. I do not want to wait 4-6 extra weeks for updates on a current platform that is taking in many users and rapidly evolving.

Easy enough to install Has the features I was after at a reasonable price



Easy to install. Plenty of headers for fans and argb.

I've used this board to build multiple systems and it's just plain solid. Easy to build on, no problems with setup. Has all the features a hard working computer needs, and even RGB. There are plenty of headers for what you need and it also provides a wide variety of ports to use any monitor.

High quality MB with backplate, 3 pcie slots with x8x4x4 bifurcation of two slots and x4 pch lanes

Clean look and easy BIOS Keeps my 265k boosted as high as other more expensive boards






Hidden back connectors, black brushed aluminum, minimal ambient light

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


-Able to overclock CUDIMM RAM to 8400 MT/s to beat out 13900KS in 4k. -Lots of M.2, with quick connects, heatsinks, and 1x 5.0 M.2! -Lots of USB with built in faceplate. -Fast WI-FI -Lots of nice features in the BIOS.

Everything arrived in good condition and works well.

so far everything i was looking for
