★★★★★Solid quality
I upgrade to a new platform almost every generation. Compared to previous PRO series motherboards, this one retains the consistent advantages of affordability and solid quality. However, many details have been optimized on top of that, such as a more aesthetically pleasing heat sink design and a brand-new BIOS UI. The I/O interface speeds are also very fast. Although many people are dissatisfied with the improvements in the Core Ultra series, to be honest, if you're a video creator or use it for industrial purposes, it offers excellent energy efficiency and performance gains. As long as you're not gaming at 1080P resolution, the difference between it and competing products is negligible in 2K/4K environments. Therefore, this is still a valuable combination depending on your specific use case.

★★★★★More trouble than I have ever had in 35 years of PC builds
I have built many computers over the last 35 years for myself and others. I bought this board as it looked like one of the latest generation of boards that would last me for several more years. I have never had a computer I couldn't get running, but this is the first. I bought a new processor, memory, NVME storage, case, power supply to run it, but I cannot get it to run, not even past the post codes to get to a BIOS. I thought perhaps it was a fluke, so I bought a second one of these. The same result. I contacted MSI about the issue and their response was "that's odd that you would have the same issue with 2 of these, just send to send it back. They gave me and RMA number, but not a solution to the problem. Several online posters have reported the same issue, with varying amounts of success in resolving the issue. These 2 boards gave the same error, "BB", which is unique to MSI. I would stay away from this particular board until they come up with a cause and solution.

★★★★★MSI’s great quality motherboard
Bought this board to pair with my new Intel Ultra 7 265K that my friend gave me as a gift and an Nvidia RTX 4070, it does take me some time to build but it turns out great! Lots of new features, like WiFI7/Bluetooth 5.4 the EZ Antenna is easy to attach, no need to rotate like others and EZ Conn connector for me to put the cable together neatly, also have plenty of USBs port and I personally think the minimalist all white heat sink design is beautiful, so far its works perfectly!

★★★★★Very well rounded
Awesome board with a lot of feature for the price point. Plus it doesn’t have RGB (which is a plus for me).

★★★★★Great value board, strong VRM for the money.
Does What it's supposed to do. Ive used mine with a 265k and 96GB 6400 kit from gskill initially , moved to a 48GB 1.4v 8400 CUDIMM kit and a 285k without issue. Good motherboard but bios needed refinement faster as things were getting figured out with intel. 5GBE gets ~4730 throughput each way and Wifi works as expected. I don't have an AP close enough for a good speed test on wifi, about 380 down 350up ,faster than my phone in the same location. I installed an MSI 5070ti Trio oc+ which has been flawless connecting at pcie 5.0x16 speeds. Drives have tested ~ 7GB second with sn850x or p41. always use a single rail psu with extra headroom for safety.
