    Simple and solid. The BIOS menu is minimal and easily manageable. Personally, I missed a three-pin JRGB header at the top of the motherboard and a button to start the PC. The VRMs are also amazing. It could also have had some kind of RGB around the mobo but these are details. For me, it is the best implementation for the X870 chipset.
    UPDATE: 20/10/2025
    I upgraded my home internet speed from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps. The network card would not work above 100Mbps either via cable or wifi!! I spent an entire day trying to solve the problem, which was not the cables, the drivers, or Windows. Many users have the same problem according to what I read online. No one found a solution. What I did that worked was a CMOS Clear. Minus one star because such things shouldn't happen on 300 euro motherboards or at least, since they know about the problem, MSI should provide a BIOS update... I hope I helped

    One of the most reliable once again, Tomahawk.
    All the builds we assembled did not present any problems.
    Its price up to 260 euros is acceptable!

    I wanted to get it at a cheaper price, but otherwise, it worked perfectly with the 9900x and G.Skill 64GB 6000, everything ran like clockwork right away...
