There is room for improvement. The header pins could be less flexible. They're strong, but could be stronger. That's not even half a star off. Quarter star off maybe.
The PDF manual could be more clear about a few things. The case connectors could be explained better. But still giving it all 5 stars. Oh boy! 32 bit sound!
After we got it working though, it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. It looks, and performs absolutely amazing!
TL;DR
This motherboard’s BIOS menu is very confusing, and needs someone with experience to handle. But it’s a great motherboard.

I had been scared to update the BIOS on mine after my bro and friends mobo's were bricked from it, but I decided to do it today, and so I disabled the OC's, and then updated, and it updated perfectly with no issues. Sad on MSI's part that they don't warn you of this when you update the BIOS, but other than that, this motherboard is top-notch amazing and the performance is great.

Motherboard layout is nice, clean, and easy to work with. There is enough clearance for the following CPU Cooler/RAM combo, just keep in mind you'll want the RAM installed first. Will be a tight squeeze if you need to swap/move RAM around.
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) Intel XMP 2.0 Desktop Memory Model F4-3600C16D-16GVKC
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, BK022, 250W TDP, CPU Cooler
I have not had any stability issue/performance issues at all.
Cons:
I really needed to get Thunderbolt 3 working for a music interface box, and it states it's compatible. The catch is it needs to have the RTD3 specification. So far I've been unable to gain any insight on exactly what add-on card is compatible with this board. So I went to MSI support to ask...surely they know what card is compatible if they are selling it as such. How else would they have tested it?
I've been trying to get MSI to respond for over a month (they say they respond in 24-48 hours - not true). I've submitted almost a dozen requests just for BASIC information, but they keep re-closing my ticket and not answering. I provided them model/serial/version/etc - basically any number on the box, and the only thing I got was "Please provide us with more information about the issue, Thank you.", to which I asked "What other details do you require?", and it's been silence ever since. I literally have no idea what other information they want, as they won't tell me. I wasn't rude, I wasn't making any demands, I just wanted to know what card will work, that's it.
If I had known this would have been such a problem, I'd have just opted to find a different board with it natively, and perhaps a different brand due to being blatantly ignored by MSI support.

These boards are well built and pricing wise, it seems like you are getting a bit more for your money than most competitors in this range are offering. I intentionally set out to buy something other than MSI for comparison but this one fit the price and the range of features included cost more with similar Z490 series boards by other manufacturers.
The lighting is nice and pretty low key, which might not appeal to some but for a quiet build in a windowless case, not something I was concerned with.
BIOS has both easy and advanced options for overclocking, hardware monitoring with fan controls and diagrams of the fan connector locations.
Installation was easy, good spacing and few sharp edges. Built-in back plate.
Comes with a good sized, clearly written and illustrated manual, driver disk, 2x SATA cables and an MSI badge/sticker.

Nach einigen Zweifeln, da das Board aus den USA versendet wird, absolute Erleichterung.
Alles wie es soll.
Die RGB Beleuchtung sieht einfach Klasse aus.
Musste allerdings erst alle Treiber und UEFI Update installieren.
War aber kein Problem...
Seit dem nur noch Freude angesagt...
