Build quality of the board is amazing. Loving how it performs. Only complaint that I have is how the packaging could?ve been better; however, nothing was damaged so I?m satisfied nevertheless.

10/10, would recommend

Amazing product, especially for its price. In my opinion, its punching $100 above its weight-class. Both m.2 slots onboard are PCI-E Gen. 4, along with the top 16x slot. I am running it with Windows 10, a Ryzen 5 5600X, 32Gb of CL16, 3200 Mhz RAM, and a Radeon RX 570 XFX Edition, and everything is buttery smooth. It boots quickly, and its front IO compatibility is great, with 2 gen 2.0, 1 3.2 Gen 1, and 1 3.2 Gen 2 USB. Would Def. recommend

Awesome!!!

Very good. However, the bios/uefi user interface could probably use a little improving, but the board itself handles everything I want it to. The default game mode (for overclocking) seems to behave best for most of what I want it to do, however I may update this review later after I've had a chance to do more overclocking and play with the board more. For normal users though, this is a great board, though I sort of wish it had more PCI express lanes. The board I got came with a new enough bios version that I could use a Ryzen9 5950X without having to flash (though I did update it to a newer version later), however you can actually flash this one without a CPU if you need to.

MSI Center still sucks (one reason why this is not 5 stars) and I'm disappointed by some of the RGB color management software in MSI's 'Mystic Light'. (For example, they have a CPU temp monitor option which I was excited about, but you can't customize the colors at all with that option you just get what they set (green is a terrible default color). Also it doesn't work with Linux (no surprises there). I ended up uninstalling MSI Center and used OpenRGB for managing my lighting instead (this worked much better).

Good Hardware, Meh Software

This motherboard was something special.  It handled the bios update I needed incredibly quickly and it was really easy and nice to look at I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to build an amazing pc.

Amazing

Great motherboard for the price. Lost one star because I found out it isn't fully compatible with Linux Ubuntu applications. I have to get a separate adapter to use argb lights and fans that are controlled by the app OpenRGB. Otherwise, no complaints on size or space to plug in things.
