Great motherboard Durable so far just fired it up yesterday. Easy to install and for most part lay out is ok.

For the price, I got most of the features I was looking for. Plenty of usb ports which is helpful for me without needing to use an adapter. Placed in the 9800x3d without needing to flash bios because it natively supports 9000 series. Gen 5 front M2 and PCIE slots allows room for upgradability to Gen 5 SSDs and RTX 5000 series.


Clean white aesthetic Solid build Easy Installation, no issues

So much ports alot of usb & sata ports with 2 m.2 slots which is good for Split drive for os and games. It has less RGB not a fan of RGB. Also has its own io shield which i like because the cheap one you get just looks terrible. But overall worth it.

Aesthetically pleasing m.2 drive install is very convenient and easy instructions are very clear in the online manual many usb ports available no issue with any of the components installed. Typically RAM may have issues, but I was sure to choose compatible sticks. they provided an adapter for computer case's front I/O header multiple ARGB headers for customization as well

- easy hardware installation - easy driver installation - had no issue with booting after installation - used kingston ram - decent quality for the price - heat sink for all NVME slots

No issue at all Paired with 9900X with 7900 GRE and it works like a charm I went back to AMD because of Intels problem

Gets the job done

Has all the features/essentials needed. Good looking/useful heatsinks for VRMs, M2 and chipset. Dual M.2 slot and wifi slot Overall design

- Worked perfectly. - Looks rugged and tough... TUF* - Easy release PCIe 5 port lever. Really awesome, never had that before. You do not need a microscope attached to your phone to release the GPU.

overall this motherboard will serve all basic needs of any system. Worked with 9700x out of the box.

- Unit is performing excellent, great quality and cost.

This review is for the MSI Review Rebate Program - I like the design. The board (ATX size) feels heavy but sturdy, and installation was quick and easy, especially because the coverplate for the rear connectors is integrated. - it has a 4-pin cpu fan connector, and 6 4-pin fan case connectors, so I could stop using my y-splitters for my fans. - the mainboard printed directions for which two slots to use for the RAM, so I did not need the manual for that. - no RGB, the only thing that is illuminated is the digital debug LED. Another pro: everything worked when installing, so I did not need to use it - updating the UEFI/BIOS was quick V1A10 -> V1A13. It also cut the cold boot time by >40sec! - installing NVME SSDS was easy and did not require tools (for 2 out of the 4 slots). - Software: 'MSI center' allows for proper fan regulation. The same functionality is also available through the BIOS, but this way it is more convenient - I ran Geekbench 6, and the scores were within range of other users, so this board performs decently - it comes with cute stickers (including 4 of the MSI dragon)

- Easy setup and included thumb drive with drivers in case you have any issues. - Got up and running in less than a few minutes with a fresh Windows 11 install. - Super premium feeling board with a whole lot of heat sink coverage. - Best BIOS on the market and I had no problem getting everything tuned to my liking. - Probably the fastest I've ever been able to install M.2 with easy removable cover plate. No screw driver needed. - Perfect fit for my 13900K Intel Core processor.

- works great - has rgb controllers (that I don't use) - software gives control on desktop - wifi antenna has magnetic base so you can slap it anywhere on the case

Works well and looks good.

Runs solid and stable. Looks awesome! Temps are low. Running CachyOS and had zero issues. This is my 2nd MSI Carbon series MB. Both have been great!

- Easy to install components. - Fit like a glove in the Corsair Frame 4000 case.

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