First off its a $100 motherboard with a big heatsink, BT 5.3, PCIe 5.0, two 4.0 m.2 slots, comes preloaded with WiFi and BT drivers

M.2 slot lga 1700 everything is great even has a c port slot which is nice idk what I would use it for

I went with this Motherboard because it had all the features I needed/wanted and the black aesthetics as you'll be able to see with the system I'm building. The quality of this board is absolutely perfect, that's another reason I went with MSI as they have been around for a long time. Everything was pretty easy to install and get everything going/working, with this board, just do your research before hand to make sure you do not have compatibility issues and read some instructions. You can find out all the info on the MSI support site. So, I have only had this running for a short while and I have no complaints. I will update this once I have used it for a few months, other than that I am a happy MSI customer.

As usual, at least in my experience, ASUS products have been solid performers. I use ASUS motherboards in all my computer builds, never had one mal-function.

Easy to install Smooth M.2 drive installation Built in I/O shield Great BIOS ui Push connect wifi, not screw In

Had all of the ports I needed. Easy to install, no surprises. Looks great with my all black install.

Well built with quality parts.

The goods I have purchased form Canadian Newegg over the years, never, Never disspoited me. Allways all came on time and NEVER anything was " box open " Very relable place to get the componets from.

Plenty of features. Easy to use software. What more could you want in a motherboard?

I've been building PCs since the swap meet heydays of the 80s. This motherboard is built like military grade hardware, and the layout is perfect. Building a PC around it was a walk in the park. It supports a ton of standards. The ever improving ASUS BIOS is a joy to use.

Had all the ports and options I was looking for. Easy to work with.

Strong power delivery, PCIe 5.0 support, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5Gb LAN, plenty of USB including Thunderbolt 4, and good cooling design.

- 22+1+2+2 power stages and massive VRM cooling kept my Intel Core Ultra 9 285K rock-solid even during long Cinebench runs and 4K gaming sessions. - PCIe Slot Q-Release Slim + M.2 Q-Release made dropping in my RTX 5080 16GB Prime and three PCIe 5.0 SSDs completely tool-free in minutes. - NitroPath DRAM Technology let my G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 64GB (2×32GB) DDR5-6000 kit hit full XMP speed on the very first boot with zero issues. - AI Overclocking, AI Cooling II, and AI Networking II made tuning effortless through Armoury Crate while my NZXT Kraken 280mm AIO stays at a ridiculous 30°C liquid temp. - Six M.2 slots (three full PCIe 5.0), native Wi-Fi 7, dual Thunderbolt 4, and premium build quality make this board 100% future-proof. - The Polymo Lighting II on the I/O shroud looks incredible in my Fractal Design Torrent Black case and syncs perfectly with Aura Sync (check the attached photos for real-life red glow).

Wifi 7, 5G lan, 4 M.2 slots The IO all works at the same time. On older motherboards you'd usually have something like "using the second m.2 slot disables two SATA ports" or something inconvenient like that.

Rgb has plenty of room for aio and GPU many many options in bios for CPU and memory

- Functioned without issue - Plethora of ports for any peripherals you could need/add - Great Bluetooth range out of the box

-As of October 2024 purchase, it came with BIOS version 3/26/2024. It recognized the Core i3 14100 processor without any issue. Didn't need to put a 12th gen Core processor in to do any BIOS update. -From the above bulletpoint, my box had a "Next Gen CPU Ready" sticker on it probably to indicate it has the updated BIOS version to support 13th and 14th gen Core processors. -Compact size and has Wi-Fi card already included. -High quality -2x ARGB 5v headers for your LED lights -Integrated video output if you don't want to add a dedicated video card. (VGA, Displayport, and HDMI)

Upgrading my computer from a second gen i3 to this was easy. Decided to get the non wifi version because i already had ethernet ran.

Exceptional build quality and thermal management. Has a built in Wi-Fi 7 Chip with antennas for better Wi-Fi signal reception. color looks good too with my build. Supports Dual Channel DDR5 Memory and M.2 connectors for storage needs.

Clean look and easy BIOS Keeps my 265k boosted as high as other more expensive boards
