For some reason the drivers are not recognised by the operating system during installation.
I had to install Windows 10 and then upgrade to Windows 11.
Otherwise no problem, works very well.
This MSI motherboard stands out for its comprehensive connectivity, both in terms of PCIe/M.2 ports. The two 8-pin connectors inspire confidence for the CPU power supply. The PCIe 5.0 x16 slot is ready to accommodate Nvidia RTX 5000 generation graphics cards and future generations without a problem. The motherboard's rear connectivity is also very comprehensive, including Wi-Fi 7, and a 5G LAN port, now relevant with ISP offerings.
The SSDs can be installed without the need for tools, a practical advantage. The only drawback is that on delivery, the heatsink for the top M.2 port was detached from the motherboard bag, which could have potentially damaged other components during transport.
I would recommend this motherboard for its ease of installation, design, connectivity and compatibility with future technologies. Long-term reliability remains to be seen.
The motherboard not only looks great, it also comes with a host of pre-installed programs that greatly speed up the first boot (software that automatically updates drivers and the BIOS).
I recommend this motherboard, which can accommodate all the new features of the last few generations, is well worth the money.
