Pros:
- TWO m.2 slots for NVMe/SSD that won't break the bank!
- BIOS was easy enough - recognized all devices with no issue (including the m.2 NVMe).
- SATA port placement & design w/ cutaway functions great – looks good too.
- Red LED back lights matched perfectly with my black + red color scheme.
- Build quality is nice - doesn't flex too much or feel like it's going to snap.
Cons (very minor):
- no SLI support, only Crossfire (for AMD cards); not all that important today (for many reasons).
- LED back lights are one color (red) - not an issue for me, but may be for others. Someone said LEDs can be turned OFF with MSI Red Dragon light app - I haven't tested this, but that may be a solution if 'red' doesn't match your color scheme.
This is a quality mid-range board - not a 'budget' board as some call it - that performs very well.
Overall, very pleased!
Specs:
9900K, 2070 Super, 970 EVO NVMe (boot drive), 1 TB 2.5 inch SSD (storage), on this motherboard = runs like a champ!
Using PCPartPicker I was able to sort out and see which motherboards were compatible which my processor selection, but a caution message appeared on the first recommended board could need a BIOS update to work properly with the new gen of Intel processors. Since it’s my first build and being more familiar with Macs than PC’s, this scared me off.
After looking at other highly rated motherboards, I stumbled upon this one — and the results have been fabulous — and as a bonus is red! Literally everything has been plug-and-play. Ports for RAM, GPU, fans, and power were easy to locate and connect. There are ample internal SATA ports and an additional USB 3 connection I’ll have to think of a use for.
So far it’s performed extremely well — the BIOS is intuitive and the board is handling all the gaming I’ve thrown at it.
My only complaint is the lack of on-board USB Type A ports. There are only 5. I’d love closer to 8. The inclusion of a USB-C port is a nice touch, but I was hoping to be able to start to move away from the clutter of USB hubs on my desk or adding a PCI card with more ports.
Overall, it’s been a great value. Was easy to install, and just makes me happy to look at.

However, I am disappointed by the LED's. My PC was built with a black/red theme, which was inspired by this motherboard in the first place, so I was hoping that the LED's would provide some nice ambient light that matched the rest of the computer. But they're simply too small/low power to do much of anything. Thankfully, my case (Phanteks P400S) came with a LED strip that compensates.
First picture is with flash to show the motherboard, with the case's LED strip turned on. Second picture is no flash, case's LED strip turned off, to show the motherboard's LEDs.
