Best MoBo
This is the best Motherboard. I had went through 3 different motherboards to get one that works right out of the box. My first replacement that I order from Amazon did not boot up. CPU power did not have power. The second motherboard could not connect to any of the panels. No LAN, SATA, USB, nothing. The third motherboard worked for 3 days, the the NVme was not able to detect and failed to boot windows. This is my fourth motherboard in a matter of 12 days. This one worked perfect out of the box. The quality of motherboards today are terrible.

Great Motherboard for i9 14900 CPU
Set up with 64G of memory, i9 14900KS CPU and 4070 Video. Easy to setup and get running. Used the BIOS Flash function and it worked like a dream. Using 1TB SSD for booting Windows 11 Pro. Scored 37600 on Cinebench running stock configuration.Just a great Motherboard.

Looks great
Currently acquiring parts for my build, but the product out of the box feels of great quality and looks great. But no functionality input at this time.

BEFORE YOU BUY
It is a beautiful mobo and works incredibly well, just understand you need windows 11. This mobo will not run windows 10!! So have it ready on a usb or pre loaded on your ssd/hdd before installing this mobo

Y lost my money, lousy board
I bought the motherboard to build my new PC, after a few months of finishing buying all the components and putting it together I realized that the board comes with factory defects, the USB ports do not work and it does not recognize the GPU, as a few have already happened months I cannot get a refund from Amazon and being in the US it is very difficult for me to process your warranty, it would be a waste of time, I have lost my money, it is the worst motherboard I have ever had. I couldn’t even release it. Bad product, poor quality for the price.

Such a great motherboard!
Got it up and running with a brand new i9-14900KF. This is a very recent motherboard, and my 14th gen CPU worked out of the box with the first ever BIOS version. It does support BIOS flashing over USB (without installing CPU/RAM) if necessary.Now here’s a bunch of information in no particular order that I hope someone may find useful in the future.* I replaced the ILM (CPU latch mechanism) with the Thermal Grizzly Contact Frame and I highly recommend you do the same if you’re comfortable with that. Otherwise, contact between the IHS and cooler plate will not be flat, the IHS may bend, and heat transfer will suffer. Installing it was super simple, and in case it will help anyone, here are instructions:1) Install the backplate for your CPU cooler (helps hold the ILM backplate in place)2) Release the CPU latch and place the CPU into the socket (do not re-engage the latch)3) Unscrew and remove the original latching mechanism, note how loose the original screws were4) Place the new contact frame on top of the CPU, and re-install the original screws5) Hand tighten the screws in an X pattern, 90 degrees at a time6) Stop when you feel the slightest resistance, the screws should not be tightened beyond thatAnd that’s it. Older versions of the Thermal Grizzly frame needed to be tightened to a specific torque, but the current version just needs to be hand tightened as described above.* Someone else in the reviews mentioned that they were missing the screws to mount the motherboard to the standoffs on their case â no, those screws definitely do not come with the motherboard, those should come with the case itself.* When installing M.2 drives, make sure to remove the plastic films from the thermal pads, they are a bit hard to see. Three of the M.2 slots have heatsink shields, and one of them unfortunately does not.* And finally, do note that MSI advises the maximum overclocking (XMP) speeds for RAM on this motherboard are as follows:⢠1 DIMM per channel (1DPC) single rank (1R): Up to 7800+ MHz⢠1 DIMM per channel (1DPC) dual rank (2R): Up to 6600+ MHz⢠2 DIMMs per channel (2DPC) single rank (1R): Up to 6400+ MHz⢠2 DIMMS per channel (2DPC) dual rank (2R): Up to 5600+ MHzThe memory I installed is the Corsair Vengeance 96GB (2×48) 6600 MHz CL32 kit. It’s dual rank, installed in a 1DPC configuration, and running flawlessly at 6600 MHz CL32.Overall, I’m very pleased with this motherboard, and I’m so happy that I found it for my latest build.

Works well enough….but
Locked up on me once during first week and I had to do a hard reset with long press on power button. Hope that it was just a one time thing.

Wifi/ LAN port won’t work until you download the drivers, all drivers ( GPU, CPU, motherboard e.t.c) download with one click

No matter what I try, I’m stuck with a red CPU light and it does not boot at all. I was told to Bios flash and that also failed, apparently this board is very picky when it comes to USBs it will allow to flash.. Returning
