Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Michael C : It has a lot of the newer features that's been released in the last few years, but is also slightly more affordable that other MSI motherboards. My main reason for purchasing this is that it has the exact look that I want in a board For people that wants this board I suggest looking up its issues online. Its reported to have issues with its DDR5 RAM compatibility & PCIe 4 SSD slots. The MSi website still has it receiving BIOS updates in 2024 that "fixed" these issues and I took a chance on it.DANIEL D : Needed am5 Motherboard, only choice you had.
