After installing drivers and upgrading windows 11 the system is so much faster and smoother than my 10th gen cpu z590 asus board that would turn on. The major pros is great price with cheapest 14th gen i5 cpu and runs all my old ram and has wifi for under $100.

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

Motherboard, CPU, and NVMe Hard drive that I wanted at one place and at a good price. Fast to arrive and worked to my expectations.

Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.


CPU power connecters in the upper-right instead of upper-left Plenty of connections for everything I need Looks good Toolless NVMe install I'm a fan of MSI BIOS features & design

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.

Good build quality I've grown to expect after 30 years of buying Gigabyte boards Allows some tweaking of settings though not an OC board I like the NVMe mounting system Recognized my ram and applied the XMP setting without my having to do anything

Aesthetically Pleasing 4 Gen 4 NVMe Slots which is important for my build GEN 5 for quick RAM

Awesome motherboard that can handle extreme overclocks on my Intel 265K and DDR5.


- works great - has rgb controllers (that I don't use) - software gives control on desktop - wifi antenna has magnetic base so you can slap it anywhere on the case

It keeps the vrm pretty cool and it has plenty of fan plugins. Its as advertised. Highly recommend

Very well made and can handle anything you throw at it . A+ on the bios flashback to get the board to post!

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

-Overclocked to 4.9-5.0ghz stable on allcores -Decent overclocking bios options -Solid wifi, I was able to saturate my 100mbps connection -5v and 12v rgb headers are awesome -Plenty of fan headers

Plenty of expandability

The board is ready for the next step in storage and is also full of backwards compatible connections. Setup was easy and support was also available.


Without OC (this is a studio box, so no OC), benchmarks beyond its non-oc peers by a nice amount. Very stable, excellent UEFI presentation, not loaded with extraneous features I don't want, good price point.
