Low cost great performance simple, straight-to-the-point

3 PCIE 4 NMVE slots Strong voltage regulation ROG STRIX brand, their other chipset MB sells for $500 - their engineers put only what is needed to get the lower price point. BIOS flash without having to power on MB before first boot when building.

many rgb ports for fans etx comes with wifi stick compatibility is great overall great motherboard

I specifically bought this motherboard for the amount of 3.0+ USBs on it. I also like the option for the 4 sata ports, over other boards having 2. It has 3 NVMe ports as well. It also comes with NVMe heatsinks.

Great setup with zero compatibility issues. Booted right up without even updating first. BIOS is user friendly and a pleasure to use. Plenty of connections, met all expectations.

Shields/heatsinks are not flimsy, the entire board feels sturdy which was a requirement for this build.

Good performance/$

Pros of this MSI product is how the installation was so very simple. Not only that but all my components worked fine upon booting up with bios update installed. Along the UI of the motherboard it was easy to understand and find what I was looking for as well.

After installing drivers and upgrading windows 11 the system is so much faster and smoother than my 10th gen cpu z590 asus board that would turn on. The major pros is great price with cheapest 14th gen i5 cpu and runs all my old ram and has wifi for under $100.

MSI products have always worked well for me and this motherboard is great just like the others I have used for my builds in the past.

Nice looking motherboard with decent features

Worked without having to update the bios on my ryzen 7 5700x Bluetooth is a big plus for me and why I went with this model

Good speed, doesnt over heat, comes with heat sinks and 2 m.2 slot one comes with heat sink grest buy

This was the base for my first PC build, it was easy enough to work with. I haven't yet figured out how to set up anything in the BIOS, apart from changing the RAM speed, but all worked first try when I plugged it in.

Motherboard, CPU, and NVMe Hard drive that I wanted at one place and at a good price. Fast to arrive and worked to my expectations.

- Easy to set up. Not need extra screws to install m2 SSD. - Cool appearance - Good manuals for installation

The board itself is a very nice board. The memory that came with it was very nice memory too. The two together work.

1. The Biggest pro that I couldn't find with any other MOBO Manufacturer was the 2nd x16 slot runs at PCIE 4 x 4 from the chipset! This means that when using SSD's at PCIE x5 doesn't disable it! Read below to see why this is important. 2. It's a very well built and feature rich board! Save $200 from buying the HERO and get this! The HERO's extra PCIE x16 lane also is disabled when using SSD's. 3. ASUS Hit The Ball OUT of the Park on this one! Worth the Money 4. No issues with drivers and just use BIOS Flash Back USB when installing an X3D processor.

Everything works as advertised. MSI BIOS is clean and intuitive. I like the M.2 built-in thermal paste.

No anoying chipset/M2 fan The idle temperature is lower than other b650i boards Amazing 10-phase VRM cooling without an anoying VRM fan
