Bought this MB with a Raptor Lake i5 to replace my old Asus Zxx MB and Kaby Lake i7 that were not capable of upgrading to Windows 11. Reused my old CM PS, CM Heatsink, Nvidia card and even my old 16GB of PC4 RAM. Booted-up and it automatically booted Windows 10 from my old SSD. I was then able to "Upgrade" to Windows 11 (rather than having to buy a new copy) and it has worked perfectly. When I first started doing builds 30 years ago, if you changed the CPU, MB or HD, you had to start all over. Not this time. Don't know why?

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

I went with this Motherboard because it had all the features I needed/wanted and the black aesthetics as you'll be able to see with the system I'm building. The quality of this board is absolutely perfect, that's another reason I went with MSI as they have been around for a long time. Everything was pretty easy to install and get everything going/working, with this board, just do your research before hand to make sure you do not have compatibility issues and read some instructions. You can find out all the info on the MSI support site. So, I have only had this running for a short while and I have no complaints. I will update this once I have used it for a few months, other than that I am a happy MSI customer.

- Lots of USB ports - Lots of M.2 slots - Stunning Looks - Solid build - Fair price considering cost of everything has gone up

Reasonably priced. Arrived on time. Paper manual so it was simple figuring out the connections. Booted once to BIOS and then Windows on the second boot.

Was able to get DDR5 to 9200Mhz CL40 with this motherboard so very happy about that. I am sure with more manual tuning rather than AI tuning can achieve even more gains.

The goods I have purchased form Canadian Newegg over the years, never, Never disspoited me. Allways all came on time and NEVER anything was " box open " Very relable place to get the componets from.

Plenty of features. Easy to use software. What more could you want in a motherboard?

I was looking for a professional motherboard that supported the LGA1700 socket for new Intel processors, as well as plenty of slots for DDR4 memory and PCIe cards. This board was a great choice and included plenty of M.2 storage slots. A great choice for me as I was looking to support multiple VM's in a home lab scenario.

Lots of I/O! Thoughtful placement of headers. Little features like a power button on the MB and a clear CMOS on the rear I/O. Originally this board did NOT support my Corsair Vengeance @XMP 6400 MT/s (CMH32GX5M2N6400C36) however it now supports my RAM at XMP since latest BIOS update!

Literally top of the line in everything I was looking for. PCIE 5, so you can pair it with the Samsung 9100. Latest intel processor (Which is also super fast). Wifi is also fast. The price was great for top of the line. I am super happy with it. The BIOS system is very intuitive/easy to use. And it looks great.

Very easy to install Instructions clean and understandable

Lots of oc options, easy install, great BIOS with tons of options and easy navigation

Excellent performance

Great high end mobo for bleeding edge components (when purchased). Combined with a Core 7 265k, 48gb of UDIMM memory and an RTX 5080 it has been rock solid as a gaming machine.

Budget friendly, works great, has some rgb it looks like

Overclocked manually without issues with a i9-9900K and using EVGA Liquid cooling solution without issues. Paired with G.SKILL TridentZ 32GBDDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) along with Intel's 660p M.2 2280 2TB and NVIDIA 1070 FTW (Looking forward for a new AMD RADEON VII since it'll work smoother when using a Unix/Linux OS because of it's open source drivers when compared to Nvidia's closed source drivers.) Gaming: This machine is a beast and runs without issues with all games at Max/Ultra with 1440p resolution. I play Street Fighter V with a constant frame-rate without hick-ups, this machine has not failed me at all. Programming: No issues using Cmake with a large project with either Windows or Linux, I have more performance using gcc/g++ with Linux/RHEL when compared to MSVS and this is expected from an OS perspective but overall an amazing workstation.

Basic ASUS Z370 motherboard. High quality components, easy on the eyes.
