    I said for the first and probably last time to buy an MSI motherboard since I was satisfied with the graphics cards of this particular company, but unfortunately I encountered connection problems in the first PCIe slot when I tried to connect my graphics card. I tried it with 2-3 cards but the problem remained.

    I have decades of experience in assembling and repairing PCs. I bought, installed, and configured. Everything worked perfectly, except for the main first PCI port. I reported the issue and returned it. It has been almost a month now. Conclusion: I paid for a premium specification motherboard to have a professional machine out of order for a month now, in a company that needs it daily, without even knowing what will happen next. Without a doubt, in this category of products, there should be what is called immediate replacement, or DOA, or something similar. I have always been an ASUS buyer, this will be my first and probably last MSI. I will come back to complete the date and the result of this purchase.

    I have not been very satisfied with both the quality of the motherboard and the additional features. I am experiencing difficulty connecting the GPU to the first PCIe slot (PCIe 5). Specifically, the GPU is not recognized by the system and is not powered at all. It should be noted that I have tested 3 different fully functional GPUs. On this particular motherboard, the GPU worked on the other PCIe slots, but when purchasing a motherboard worth 300 euros, there is an expectation for everything to work properly and not to have to rely on customer service to find a solution.

    6 years on Asus motherboards, so first contact with this one along with the 12700K, everything worked perfectly. The Artic Liquid 2 280 fit easily with the 1700 LGA bracket, plenty of USB ports at the back and relatively good temperatures on the chipset PCH, max 61c, on the VRMs, max 40c after 2 hours of gaming at 1440p/max settings, and on the NVMe, max 43c temps. Admittedly, MSI did a great job this year in the motherboard department, but I won't give it 5 stars because I rarely do.

    EDIT:
    There was a promotion with Dying Light 2 along with the motherboard, and it's been a week and they still haven't sent it to me, even though I've done all the necessary actions. In other words, it's a scam company. I never received the code, they told me they didn't have any available. I don't believe them because when I registered for the promotion, there were 400+ codes available

    Owner of this specific motherboard for a few days now. The quality is top-notch. Plenty of ports for connections. The only downside is that it only has one USB 3 port for the front panel.

    I have not been very satisfied with both the quality of the motherboard and the additional features. I am experiencing difficulty connecting the GPU to the first PCIe slot (PCIe 5). Specifically, the GPU is not recognized by the system and is not powered at all. It should be noted that I have tested 3 different fully functional GPUs. On this particular motherboard, the GPU worked on the other PCIe slots, but when purchasing a motherboard worth 300 euros, there is an expectation for everything to work properly and not to have to rely on customer service to find a solution.

    6 years on Asus motherboards, so first contact with this one along with the 12700K, everything worked perfectly. The Artic Liquid 2 280 fit easily with the 1700 LGA bracket, plenty of USB ports at the back and relatively good temperatures on the chipset PCH, max 61c, on the VRMs, max 40c after 2 hours of gaming at 1440p/max settings, and on the NVMe, max 43c temps. Admittedly, MSI did a great job this year in the motherboard department, but I won't give it 5 stars because I rarely do.

    EDIT:
    There was a promotion with Dying Light 2 along with the motherboard, and it's been a week and they still haven't sent it to me, even though I've done all the necessary actions. In other words, it's a scam company. I never received the code, they told me they didn't have any available. I don't believe them because when I registered for the promotion, there were 400+ codes available

    Owner of this specific motherboard for a few days now. The quality is top-notch. Plenty of ports for connections. The only downside is that it only has one USB 3 port for the front panel.

    I said for the first and probably last time to buy an MSI motherboard since I was satisfied with the graphics cards of this particular company, but unfortunately I encountered connection problems in the first PCIe slot when I tried to connect my graphics card. I tried it with 2-3 cards but the problem remained.

    I have decades of experience in assembling and repairing PCs. I bought, installed, and configured. Everything worked perfectly, except for the main first PCI port. I reported the issue and returned it. It has been almost a month now. Conclusion: I paid for a premium specification motherboard to have a professional machine out of order for a month now, in a company that needs it daily, without even knowing what will happen next. Without a doubt, in this category of products, there should be what is called immediate replacement, or DOA, or something similar. I have always been an ASUS buyer, this will be my first and probably last MSI. I will come back to complete the date and the result of this purchase.
