    Not bad but .

    Msi the reference for me in terms of motherboards for years.
    Very nice card although a bit expensive.
    I would have liked to find a lcd screen below the pciE ports like on my old msi z97 gaming pro
    The led lighting is average whether it's on the writing or behind but hey, it does the job.

    in replacement of an asus who died after 6 years

    Always satisfied with LDLC, equipment delivered on time even in the middle of the Covid crisis, friendly and available technical services, and in case of problems under warranty (rare) equipment exchanged without problems

    Perfect

    Easy to install, this card is complete and works very well with an I7 9700K with 16GB RAM. You can easily fit a large fan without touching the RAM bars.

    very good motherboard

    I've been using it for a while now, but I'm not sure I'd be able to get it to work...
    Only downside, only 2 JRGB plugs, and that's it...
    so a led strip and that's it...
    no led fans controlled by the MSI software...
    really a shame

    Nickel

    It's perfect this card, affordable it works perfectly.
    I installed an i5-9400f and a gtx 1660 ti on it, all with an ssd at boot.
    Well I'm glad I didn't go for a much more expensive one, it works perfectly for my use.
    I recommend it!!!

    Defect

    I received this card with a socket defect, unfortunately I tried it anyway and it doesn't work. Now the after sales service doesn't want to know anything. It's a pity for this brand that I thought was more serious than Amazon which sells the same product for less. I've learned my lesson and will go elsewhere now.
