I used this motherboard in a midsize case, fit perfectly. I used it together with an msi 1000w power supply, 240mm arctic liquid cooler, an amd ryzen cpu, and a 4070 gpu. All working perfectly.

Lots of features for the price and works pretty well. Havent encountered any issues with it so far.

Lots of ports. Great functionality. Well laid out. Solidly Built

All the features I needed. Supported enough of the hardware I was looking for. I appreciated the LEDs that told me something was not installed correctly. Builtin Wifi/bluetooth and antenna have been more than solid so far with no dropped connections through multiple walls.

Ultra Power Phase with 2 M.2 and 2 LAN. MSi has this OC Engine that boot up the gaming performance up to 20%. come with the ONE click OC jumper make is more smoothly. Love the board! waiting for the 9850X3D launch !

quality board, good features, bios is easy enough for the average user.

Solid performer

-Nice heatsinks -Good VRMS with good temps -Good DDR5 8000 MT/s support -Nice and intuitive Bios Design


Easy to install compatible with my case

Good price for the features compared to other AM5 motherboard alternatives Decent placement of connectors for clean cable management Higher end sound chip Looks good for an all black setup

Great motherboard for my needs. Running fast memory on pci 5.0 and ssd and video cards on 4.0. Default over locking cpu from native 4.6 to 5.0 with no noticeable heat gain. No buggy drivers. IMHO rock solid purchase

Probably one of the easiest setups I've done with a motherboard. Love the quick connect and disconnect for m.2 drives and the GPU.


Easy to install by manual provided online! Easy to understand board details Simple to mount all additional parts(CPU GPU MEMORY) Compatible with ddr5 memory Incredible Adjustable length (80mm or 110mm) secondary M.2 slot mount Primary m.2 slot connected directly to CPU is gen4 and has its own heatshield mount combo

I've been formerly using Asus motherboards for 20 years, and finally jumped ship to Asrock. I picked up this x870e Nova mobo and I must say, it's a great value compared to a lot of the other motherboards out there. Great quality motherboard and the auto driver install for initial setup made things easy (although you should still download and install the latest AMD chipset drivers directly from AMD).

- 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

Ideal form factor if you plan it out. Has 8 SATA ports 16x Bifurcation on PCIe slot 1. I haven't set this up yet, but I intend to in the future

Did someone say USB?! If you run a VR or sim racing rig and need lots of USB ports, this board is the one for you. You get 14 USB ports just on the rear panel, with USB 2.0, 3.1 and 3.2 front panel connectors for even more. The top PCIe slot is gen 5, so it will support any new GPU upgrades for a long time. VRM is very strong too, so it should be able to handle a 9950X without a sweat. It handles my overclocked 7700 just fine. On board audio is also a nice spec but you probably already have an audio interface if you're getting a board like this. All NVME slots area tool-less style, but you still need to unscrew the heatsink for slots 2 and 3. The top NVME slot has cooling pads on both sides so it should be able to cool gen5 SSDs decently well. I don't have a gen5 drive so I can't test this.

-3x 4 pin fan headers(have 1 case fan conn. to pump fan header) -pretty certain it has every available rbg header -WIFI 6/Bluetooth & 7.1 audio -2x M.2 slots -loads of sata ports -bios flashback or whatever its called -debug led It basically has all the bells and whistles that a first time builder like me was looking for and besides the CPU temps not being shown in amd adrenalin from time to time (I'm sure that's not the boards fault) temps still show in bios) I have no complaints
