There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I got this motherboard along with an intel i9-10900k and 64 gb of gskill ripjaw V 3600mhz RAM. It cost a fortune, Ill be eating cereal next week (or month) but IT BLOWS AWAY my other gaming computer (that one that runs game graphics on max). I benchmarked the new board and cpu and it ranked on the top of the cpuid list. It is as of this review, in a class of its own.
This motherboard is on a whole different level than my evga z97 classified board. Five years ago that board cost me nearly as much, that board still goes for $200 used on ebay. That board is childs play compared to this one.
I assembled my new PC, booted it up, and immediately went into bios. 60 seconds later I set my PC to boot from the Samsung 970 evo plus nvme ssd (that i installed in 1 of the 3 native nvme slots on the board) AND I overclocked my RAM to 3600mhz (mind you I've never overclocked anything before)(I clicked on a RAM icon, clicked on an XMP icon and it was done).
The BIOs on this board had so much info available, yet it is displayed in such a way so that even though I never really messed with BIOs before, I knew what to do and I did what needed to be done quickly. I set all 10 fan headers (yes the board has 10 different headers) to PWM , rebooted the machine and installed windows. 30 minutes later windows 10 pro was installed. 35 minutes after booting the PC for the 1st time, the board was configured and a fresh fully updated install of windows was running.
This is an expensive board. Im a programmer and I play the occasional video game, but its probably more board than I need. Having said that, it is quality and it is future proof. I have no doubt that 5 years from now Ill be struggling with the decision once again as to whether or not I even need to build a new PC. Once again I expect the answer to be no, and once again I expect Ill build a new one anyways.
Only complaint - is (was) supposed to come with spacers for m2 memory. Mine did not. I had to get them elsewhere. Not sure why I was missing the spacers, but not worth contacting MSI about it. I'd have to pull the thing apart at this point to solve an issue that I've already solved.
As for other things, I never contacted MSI support, so I don't know if they are good at customer support. The Bios upgrade worked perfect - it comes with a bootable USB 8GB memory. You can store data on it or whatever.
Oh, also comes with a key chain. Ah. Yeah. To be honest, Id have rathered a sticker or something. But that is probably just me.

Puntos de cuidado:
1. Consumo de energía. El sistema puede sencillamente consumir entre 70W y 100W en idle, con picos de hasta 190W con tareas relativamente sencillas. Por supuesto, el procesador tiene mucho que ver, pero si vas por esta motherboard, lo mínimo para que valga la pena es un 10700K. Si la tarifa de CFE no te preocupa, esta es para ti.
2. Bloatware. Para poder controlar el RGB, es necesario instalar software de MSI que va más allá de controlar las luces. Prácticamente es un overlay para controlar desde el RGB hasta el overclock en versión software, lo que puede no ser deseable para algunos. La instalación se puede evitar al 100%, pero con eso te limitas a no tener todas las funciones de la mobo. Unas cosas por otras.
3. Tamaño. Nunca está de más recordar que esta es una E-ATX y no cabe en cualquier gabinete. En mi caso, los agujeros para pasar los cables quedar bloqueados, por lo que tuve que hacer algunos ajustes.
Recordatorio: cuidado con los pines del USB 3.0, se doblan fácilmente (como en cualquier otra mobo).
En general estoy bastante contento con la compra, el tiempo dirá qué tan acertada fue.
Reviewed in Canada on August 30, 2020
It was very expensive,but to me, quality and performance was something which I looked into this board.
Unfortunately, this board didn't fulfil my expectations at all.
I tried overclokcing with OC button present in bios. It booted well but faced serious issues of blue screen errors randomly at unexpected times..
I had to downclock it to normal. So, overclocking claim is a failed thing. Secondly, after 2 or 3 months usage, 1 of the ram slot stopped to work. It shows memory detected,but system won't show post bios.
I had to remove the ram stick from 2nd slot to make other 3 slots to work..
Now, I am thinking of sending it for warranty claims as it's still under warranty.
Don't know, do I have to send the motherboard to Amzon or MSI?
So, I won't recommend people buying this expensive boards if MSI won't improve their quality control.
Spending on an expensive board which can't fulfil your expectations is useless...
Think wisely people...
