I was keen to have 6 sata ports and slots for my fans, all at a controlled cost. The rainbow side is pretty useless.
No screws included, not great.
Make sure to populate the RAM slots properly: A2 then B2, then A1 and B1
This motherboard is packed with quality components. It is equipped with various cooling systems, including the M2 SSD, which is very useful. It is also worth mentioning the quantity of data ports and fans.
I found the installation really convenient, especially with the IOShield plate already installed.
The BIOS interface is clear and has many configuration options.
I am very satisfied. For the price, the card has all the technologies I need. The components are of high quality. There are different cooling systems, including NVME. A useful detail is that there are two Ethernet connections, one of 1 gbs and one of 2.5. I found the integration into the case and the installation quite easy, with a special mention for the already integrated IO shield.
Clear BIOS interface with many configuration options.
Very good motherboard, I had no compatibility issues with my hardware. The performance is true to MSI, great work as always. Mounted with an Intel Core i5 and 16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX, everything runs great and ultra. Later I will add an M2 and it will be really great! Thanks LDLC ;-)
