You will be beta testing a motherboard
UPDATE: I ended up sending a ticket to MSI to see if they could fix the WiFi issue, after some back and forth, their solution was to buy a WiFi extended. The “fix” comes after them knowing my computer is less than 20 feet from the router. I returned it after that message and bought a Gigabyte x870 Elite WiFi 7. Haven’t had a single issue with it since. Used to use MSI but after that motherboard I’ll be returning to other brands that don’t sell garbage.Where to start, I have built multiple computers and for the most part, don’t have many issues. However, with this motherboard it has been nothing BUT issues. I was drawn towards this one because of its high reviews and MSI generally has a good name.However, I cannot recommend this motherboard any less. To begin off, this motherboard takes on average 1 minute to boot past the MSI logo. This is with OC RAM, some people have had better luck with out of the box RAM. This product should truthfully be labeled as “beta testing” and should not have a price tag of 300 dollars.Currently experienced bugs/issues:-EZ Debug constantly showing code 08 – “System Agent initialization after microcode loading” from MSI forums, this is a known issue that can only be solved by downloading a beta version BIOS update. Which one user stated that they lost all USB 2.0 connections after installing this-Motherboard does not detect some RGB components after waking up from a sleep mode. For instance the fans will still function normally but the LED’s will not come back on. OpenRGB will not detect the components after the computer has been woken up from sleep. To fix this issue, you must restart the computer and make sure it doesn’t go to sleep.-WiFi, it claims “WiFi 7 has ultimate low latency” I just upgraded this motherboard and now I am getting consistent packet drops, nearly every 2 – 3 minutes the ping will spike to 2000+ then immediately drop down to 20-40. Not sure if this is a hardware issue or a driver issue, doesn’t matter either way. Having a disconnection like this is very disruptive for gaming. I have not been able to try ethernet cable, so I can’t say if that does or does not work.-When this board comes in, it does not come with the wifi drivers, therefore you must already have a device that can download the driver then transfer it to a usb driver to install-Over 1 minute boot up times from the press of the power button-MSI bloatware known as MSI center, also it will try and install Norton Antivirus – another baffling decision from MSI-The wifi connection is not the industry standard RP-SMA, female to male connection. It is a plug-in type with the option to install adapters. If you want to use a wifi antenna that isn’t the one that comes in a box, you will need to buy adapters. Most aftermarket on amazon use the RP-SMA female to male.In the box with the motherboard there is an incentive to review this motherboard, that is probably why there are so many 5 star reviews. This is in no way a good gaming motherboard, maybe I just got a bad board, but with all the issues above, I will be promptly returning this and buying something that doesn’t make me feel like I work at a QA department. I did not buy a motherboard so I could tinker with the BIOS settings and installing/repairing drivers.

Sturdy and easy to install and remove GPU / NVME, highest performance compared to even mobos double the price. Great feature set

Great product with stable power management for 9800x3D. Looking forward to pair also with 4080 Super which will arrive in the next few days.Full of extra options, such as BIOS flash button, Wifi, enough USBs, etc.Highly recommended!
