MSI products have always worked well for me and this motherboard is great just like the others I have used for my builds in the past.

+ Great features and priced lower than competitors + Great motherboard design and aesthetics + Customizable onboard RGB lights + PCIe 5.0 x16 for GPU fps boost + AMD Expo ran with no issues + Tons of BIOS OC options + Generous of USB ports + Troubleshooting LEDs


* Very solid build quality * Everything is easy to take apart and put back together such as the m.2 shields. * EZ Bridge is great and I knew where everything was right away. This also allowed for a pretty clean build having the cables all on the 1 side. * Comes with an EZ Control Hub for ARGB and Fans control. * Comes with the M.2 XPander card. * Can do 2 M.2 PCIe 5.0 x4 and still have a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. This one and the Tomahawk are the only AMD ones AFAIK. Requires choosing between the 2nd M.2 @ PCIe 5.0 and the back 40G USB ports. * Supports 60w charging on the front panel USB.

Ryzen 9 9900X+CORSAIR Vengeance 32GB +XFX SWIFT AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT OC White The board has lightning USB 40G and wifi 7 which makes it future proof. Clear CMOS and Flash BIOS buttons are very convenient. Lots of storage options.

Fantastic bios, fast boot times, and all of the jargb headers you could possibly need


- Great features and functionality - Great layout, looks good. - I actually have enough USB slots in the back now. - And USB-C as well! - Great software, the automatic driver/support software install is really good. - BIOS software is responsive, intuitive, and really solid. - BIOS update process was amazingly easy. - Asus support is phenomenally good.

Perfect for my SFF build powered by ryzen 3900x. Capable vrm. Runs as expected.

This build was for my cousin. He wanted white/gray build and wanted AMD with a budget of $1500. Paired with AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 4070 super. For case we went with Lian Li Lancool 216 White and MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240 White for the cooler. So far he loves it. It was super easy to install and all the other components matched perfectly. The board has 1x GEN5 plus 2x GEN4 slot along with EZ PCIe release is so convenient. At the back of the board you have WiFi7, 5G LAN, USB4 Type-C and so many other connection options. It is future proof and build quality is very sturdy.

Two nvme slots, without slowing down PCIe lane. Enough USB ports for all my stuff with some extra to spare. Nice design, was worried about the white in my case (North XL black) but it worked out really well. The RGB the board has is a nice touch.

Hidden back connectors, black brushed aluminum, minimal ambient light

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.
