Plenty of USB ports. Driver package has many extra features.
-Switched from Atx to micro Atx on a new build. Everything honestly works better and i definetely am not short on any features.
This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program First of all, the build quality on this board is great. The amount of M.2 drives I can put in here and the included thermal pads fort the m.2s are a great addition. Plenty of USB ports were also priority for me and this has that. I am coming from a x570 gaming edge Wi-Fi board from MSI and that included a lot of USB ports which I needed for the next one and this delivered. The board does not share any PCIE lanes with M.2 slots so there is no compromise in terms of the drive speeds if you were to use all the m.2 lanes! The only thing that I would advise to keep a lookout for is if you are going to use WIFI on this board. As I booted up the computer after the build, I was unable to connect to the wifi even after plugging in the antennas. Only to come to find out that since this board has WIFI 7, this would only work with Windows 11 and since I was on 10, I had to upgrade to it, and it worked. Yes, I could have done a little research on it beforehand, but I wish they had included this note on the manual for those who are planning to use the WIFI feature like me. However, after all that! The WIFI is incredible on this board compared to the X570 I was using. LIKE A MILE OF A DIFFERENCE! my internet speed in the house is about 300Mbps. I was barely getting 50-80 where I am in the house with my old board. With this new WIFI 7 and board, I am not getting my full internet speed! I had a feeling my previous board was the culprit for the poor Wi-Fi connection.

Effortless setup Great price Good IO layout Wifi ready AMD Ryzen 9000 Compatible out of the box
Pros are I'm a noob and I could still figure out how to set up power fans and cpu cooler
This is my first use of an AMD CPU. I've always used Intel in the past. This motherboard seemed to represent the best value for an 870/AM5 socket motherboard. The features (3 M.2 connectors, PCIe 5.0, Wifi 7 and USB 4.0) are exceptional for a board at this price point. Looking forward to the build!
has all the basics in a compact form-factor
awesome white Board starts in 20s without changes in the BIOS works perfectly with my AMD Ryzen 5 7600X3D works perfectly with the Corsair RGB fans and Corsair RAM (see Video) very nice with sleeved cables
-Working Fine With 5700x3d CPU -Box Was Factory Sealed And Not Opened -External Antenna Has A Magnetic Mount -Two Heatsinks For NVMe SSDs -2.5 Gigabit Lan Is Fast -Plenty of PWM Fan Headers
Motherboards have evolved into art. The M2 heatsinks work well. Boots quick, no issues yet.
-Excelent MB for the price -Broke a capacitor off on the install and new egg was kind enough to replace the product with no charge to me
You can feel the build quality Lots of room for expansion (drives, DDIM, ets...) Looks great! Great Airflow! Easy RGB control via button on case (no need for software unless you want to use it) and 2 plugs for CPU fans for large tower coolers! BIOS updated for my unit out of the box.
Excellent layout and it's a beautiful board. Worked right out of the box. 4xm2 slots. Memory over clocked well. Both EXPO and XMP!
Has everything I wanted/needed for this upgrade. Using the included heatsinks, NVMe drives are running about 5 degrees C lower than on old board using its heat sinks.
* Fast boot time, once the Memory training phase has taken place. * Beautiful aesthetics * Plenty of VRM power and heatsinks to power a 7950X with overclock and do it with low temps. * For me, having 2 other PCIe lanes that are not 5.0 is a win, as I use add in cards. * My board Posted the first time I fired it up, after Memory training. * Wi-Fi 7 * The BIOS is about as good as anyone else's out there. Easy to navigate. Good Job! * The heatsink covers for the SSDs just clip on and off, and it is very nice. * On board Start and Reset buttons with lighted HEX code read out. In white light even, not red. * I believe this Motherboard is competitively priced, considering what you get and what the competition is offering. * Everything is working as it should, with no issues. * I did not have to put a Mortgage on the house to buy this.
The board is everything it needs to be at its price. Absolutely awesome for an SFF case when looking for a simplistic desktop setup or an HTPC. The BIOS is also super easy to use and customize for my purposes. EXPO settings for RAM, fan control, automatic drivers (which is GREAT for a first boot when changing boards), and other things are perfectly accessible.
