Compact design and well layered, supports Ryzen 5000 and Ryzen 5000G APUs out the box. Two pwm chasis fans and included usb 3.0 and A-rgb headers. Nvme support which uses the included heatsink.


Well designed very sturdy with sturdy backplate. No lane sharing with the Blazing slot and all the bells and whistles you could possibly need especially as a gamer


Lots of headers Easy front panel pin connectors

Great VRMs Lots of BIOS features Cheaper than the MSI and Asus B550 itx boards 2.5gb lan 2 m.2 slots

the Z890 chips are solid the board is well built and of good quality. the look of this board is very nice. started right up like it is all automatic.. the on board display is a good addon if you run into any problems. tweaked the temp and fan speeds is the only thing i needed to do this board has changed my mind about asrock on this board. we will see. would recommend setup was intel 265k 32mg ram 3060ti gpu 750psu 360 water cooled.

I love the aesthetics of the motherboard and seems to be more stable with RAM with EXPO enabled. I choose this board because my previous platform was an ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO and constantly would reboot do to RAM issues. When I decided to upgrade from the X670E to X870E I decided to give MSI a try. I typically use ASUS Boards. I have been really happy with the Motherboard, fast boot times, no crashes and looks amazing. I have only one complaint about the board which I will discuss in the Cons section. Not a major problem but a slight one. The only thing I switched in my platform was the motherboard. My old system specs were: MB - Asus ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X RAM - CORSAIR Dominator Titanium 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 Timing 30-36-36-76 GPU - PowerColor Red Devil RX 7900 XTX Power Supply - EVGA 1300 Watt New System MB - MSI MEG X870E GODLIKE AM5 AMD X870E SATA 6Gb/s Extended ATX Motherboard CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7950X RAM - CORSAIR Dominator Titanium 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 6000 Timing 30-36-36-76 GPU - PowerColor Red Devil RX 7900 XTX Power Supply - EVGA 1300 Watt

Was easy to use. Didnt need to update BIOS for a 7600X


Having the five M.2 slots with the EZ Clips made installation so much faster now that I went with all NVME SSD's. Glad to see the top slot is Gen 5 to give me the option to upgrade if/when I decide to. Another great addition was the EZ PCIE release with the lock indicator so when I do upgrade to a Gen 5 NVME SSD it will make installation so much easier/faster.
