A strong, affordable pickup for a mobo of its kind. Very easy to set up. Very well designed allowing for ease of build. Has every function that most would look for in a mobo for gaming.

I was so impressed by how easy it was to assemble this and also the price was very affordable. Great working motherboard processor combination super fast. I put a 50 series RTX card on it. Its a nice new DDR five and 1000 W power supply. The machine works killer Very impressed.

Easy install great mother board

ALERT! It's 2025 already, and this motherboard will not recognize a GPT-partitioned device as bootable! Once I figured out why I didn't seem to have any bootable drives, I formatted and partitioned my M2 SSD with a MS-DOS partition table, and it was good to go. I bought a pair of 24 GB G.Skill Trident DDR5 DIMMs that are listed on the ASROCK QVL. The CPU is an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF. I learned that my nice legacy heatsink was incompatible with the heatsink footprint (the 4 holes) on a LGA 1851, so I bought a Noctua NH-D9L and it works great. CPU temp with air cooling is 32-35C. I;ve been a pretty reliable Asus MB user over the years, but this ASROCK unit is getting the job done for me and I have zero regrets for this decision.

-beautiful board -plenty of high speed connections (TB5, TB4, 10G LAN, etc)

The board is ready for the next step in storage and is also full of backwards compatible connections. Setup was easy and support was also available.

Sleek looking with great features.

Product was everything it said it would be. Had no issues with order at all. The product worked great with no hiccups. Thank you for everything Newegg.

It was exactly as described. Everything worked. Shipping was with GOFO, but was over a week faster than estimated. While it is an older mainboard, based on BIOS revision, it was a somewhat recently assembled board.

5 way optimization. The sound is just as good as boards that cost twice the price. It has all you need for gaming.

The look and ease of setup

Looks nice in my setup and working great

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.

Alright team here it is everything you will want to know: 1. Overclock - works and very easy to do with the msi bios. both cpu and ram running OC currently and showing very stable currently at 4.8 for cpu but slowly ramping it up to 5.0 ghz 2. Bios - updated easily, easy to navigate, no complaints here 3. Hardware/Install - plenty of room on the board for multiple gpu's, large coolers, and pci extras. included some sata cables, a couple M2 screws and SLI bridge. 4. RGBs- excellent, not overbearing nor under preforming adds just the right amount 5. Fan headers - BIG KUDDOS to MSI for having multiple fan headers, but also starting the incorporate other company proprietary headers on their board. Example Corsair. I am a big fan of Corsair products (my wallet isnt) and MSI has dedicated headers to corsair proprietary products such as RGB fans and hubs. This is great since if you dont want to use iCUE you can use the MSI drivers to control RGB and fan speeds instead. 6. Heat sinks/shields - around the VRMs and the secondary M2 slot. just remember to remove the protective film on your heat sinks on install especially on the underside of the secondary M2 heat shield (but probably not a big deal) 7. Z390 - yup new chipset not much else to say Overall very happy with this MSI product. You could get wireless for an extra couple bucks but I didn't need it thus I bought this one which I would like to add that I really appreciate as the price point on these boards are high and having extras that you dont use is annoying to pay for. I really like the quality of the board and materials as nothing on the board felt cheap. The fact that the IO shield is apart of the board is nice on install. So you can say I would highly recommend this board as a solid add to a mid level gaming build.

- Two LED ARGB light zones. One by the heatsinks and one by the chipset. Can set up different effects using GCC. I wasn't expecting the motherboard to have lights on it. Photos attached show the two zones in white. - Extensive BIOS options. Not sure how to tweak everything for max performance. There are auto tweak settings as well. - Great front panel I/O options. - Easy to install and setup.

Wifi Built in

I wanted a board that looked nice but wasn't flooded with RGB lighting everywhere. While this MSI board uses their "Mystic Lighting" system, it's quite subtle as opposed to other RGB boards. MSI Frozr for the M.2 drive seems to work as intended, but only dropped the temp on my 970 EVO Plus by around 3 or 4c.


Has all the features you really need to build a good budget rig with out breaking the bank. I'm running the 6th gen i3 until I can upgrade later but so far no problems at all, very stable and fast.

Modern architecture in a low power form factor Can run off a 20 pin ATX power cord BIOS has no restrictions (power limit increase to ~15W, boot on power provided, and CPU undervolting) Passive cooling
