- The finishings on the heat sink are more subdued in person, which I appreciated. - I really liked the addition of the light bar. - The ARGB splitter cable was a nice extra accessory. - The Asrock BIOS was very easy to use for setting up overclocking.

Super easy install on new build. Maybe my easiest build ever! Very simple to use Bios. Working well and with good thermals with the following core hardware: AMD 3700X. G.Skill 3200 (2x16GB) Ripjaws,16-18-18-38 run at speed with a simple xmp profile click. Corsair MP600, NVME 4.0x4-Blazing Fast- Windows boots and is ready to go in 13 seconds. No chipset fan!

5 Gigabit Networking with WiFi 7 3 Full Size PCIE Slots (even if the second two aren't full bandwidth) 4 NVME slots (more on that in the CONS) 2 40 Gigabit USB-C ports.

The product basically makes sense. No bloat features or anything. Definitely recommend. I don't think I found any other product that had all the features within this price point. These are the things that I like about it. - It has PCIe Gen5 for both GPU and NVMe; you are all set for future proofing. - It has USB ports for days. It has USB C (10Gbps) in the back, 3 USB3.2 x2 Gen2, 4 USB3.2 x2 Gen1. - It has WiFi 7 and the antenna connector is so easy to use. Plug in and out. - It has a 2.5Gbps ethernet port. Lots of interesting file serving things to do with this. - It has an HDMI port next to where the front panel USB C connector is. I think it is for connecting a sensor panel if you want to put one in your case. - It has one of those convenient systems for unlatching your GPU and no-tool install for your M.2 drive. - It has good power delivery for your CPU so you can extract all your CPU has to offer. - It supports Q-Flash Plus; you just plug-in your thumb drive and hold the button and the board will automatically upgrade your firmware. - Good layout of pins on the board. They are all on the sides which makes cable management so easy. - It has an I/O shield which makes the build process tidy. - Aesthetically, the design just makes sense. It's just tasteful.

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.

overall this motherboard will serve all basic needs of any system. Worked with 9700x out of the box.

Solid performer

Fantastic quality

- Great build quality, the heat sinks are solidly attached and I/O feels solid when handling. - m.2 SSD has a heat sink. - The BIOS version was less than 6 months old and worked properly, I still flashed the most recent version. - The physical manual included step-by-step guides to install all the other hardware which was very helpful. - I bought a PCIe WIFI card, but the m.2 WIFI option is awesome since graphics cards take up so much space.

-Easy install -Everything needed nothing more -3 M2 slots -Looks great -Wifi 7 and Bluetooth

Wifi 7 320 and 5g Lan, 2 PCI 5 M2 and 1 PCI x16 GPU, great OC support and easy to use UEFI,

Bios flashed with updated software to support 7800x3d. Worked perfectly with zero issues to post and install windows.

This motherboard is affordable and works very well for the price. The performance is stable, and its easy to get a basic setup running without issues.


Easy setup, I didn't have to update BIOS, plug and play.

This motherboard had the right combination of features I was looking for: 2.5G onboard LAN, 4 DDR5 DIMM slots, 7.1 channel audio with optimal S/PDIF out, loads of fan headers, M.2 heatsinks, and a design that thoughtfully supports larger heatsinks that won't cover important slots or connectors. Future-proofing: A lot of reviewers criticize the price when comparing this board to the more affordable X670(E), and XA620(E) but I find the premium worth it when you consider that 2.5G LAN, WIFI 7 and USB4 are just going to become increasingly ubiquitous.

- Lots of convenient features like spring latched M.2 heat sink, snap-in WiFi antennae - Chipset worked out of the box on ubuntu and relatively easy updating for Windows 11 - No Clearance when using Arctic Freezer III AIO - Aesthetically pleasing, plenty of aRGB headers

Easy setup. Able to use my own drives, RAM and such. It's going to be awesome!!! Thank you NEW EGG

This motherboard appears to be very well made with quality workmanship and components. For the price it provides very good performance and capabilities.

lots of options for storage
