-Package came in well protected. - As a new pc builder, I was nervous about using an older motherboard needing to update for near AM5 chips. With this motherboard, it was ready to go. - The motherboard included features I was looking forward to such as PCIE 5 support, an included heatsink and WIFI 7. - Since these features was included, I feel like I am future proofed when PCIE 5 and WIFI 7 become more common.

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

Beautiful all-white motherboard Very easy to install components Simple BIOS setup Worked well right outside of the box

Came with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled, which was a pleasant surprise. The BIOS was only a few months old so I haven't even bothered to consider updating. Everything worked first time as expected

I like WIFI on the motherboard. The PCI-e slots are not one 16x and the others 1x but all long type same as 16x. There are 4 RAM memory slots allowing the installation of a second set of RAM sticks if need be. There are 2 M.2 SSD locations and 8 SSD SATA available. It is a well tought of motherboard by MSI. Most recent computer cases will be well suited for this motherboard and solid state hard drives.

-Usb ports -Looks

It looks amazing. Feels great and has a lot of flair to it.

-Easy to install. -Good connectivity -WiFi 7

- Looks great - Plenty of features - Easy setup

Perfect for Ryzen 3000 series. Less pricey than comparable boards from competitors

I still have more testing to do but so far it has been a nice upgrade

Amazing MB for my Rx 9070 XT.

I got a mother board that possibly had bad pins on it. It was taken care of with a new one sent right out and now is running well!

Wifi 6 or AC capable. M.2 running PCI-e 4.0 speed Reinforced PCI-e x4 16x slot 7.1 Channel Audio (ALC1200 chip) Ryzen 3000 and 4000 series capable. M.2 slot for Wifi 6/AC is up-gradable. Heatsink on the VRM are sufficient.

-EVERYTHING -Easy setup

- Very easy to install everything from components to a large air cooler - No bending at all with a Noctua NH-D15S - Everything booted up on the first try (265K w/ 64GB G Skill Royal Ram) - Clean, easy to use BIOS

All the best features for lastest CPUs Works without any issues A ton of 10g USB ports Has a dragon on it!


Somehow I bent the pins under the CPU of the 1st MB, don't know how I did that, after getting it back from from ASUS repair center, which it really didn't need because all they did is test startup 50 times & when I got it back the issue was resolved - so just a big waste of time I can't blame on any body else. So that's off my chest, the 2nd Z890-A is working perfectly. No complaints at all. It has plenty of USB's. Room for 2 HDD's, 4 2.5" SSD's & 5 M.2 SSD's. You don't need to be a gamer to get this MB, it will handle whatever you throw at it. I still haven't played with the Audio capabilities it has, or finished moving all my files over to the new PC. It's been a busy Summer. One hack I accidently discovered: I went with an Intel 265KF (no internal graphics), but was planning on getting a GPU any way. Do that and you can save a few bucks on the CPU.
