There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I read a ton of reviews on Amazon, Newegg, and everywhere else online. A lot of people really like the Asus boards. Don't get me wrong, Asus makes some great products, but sometimes I get the impression that you are paying more for the name (like the ROG series) than for the motherboard.
I've already been using MSI products before, starting with my GTX 750 ti TF OC. Since I was happy with that, I went with this motherboard. I am really happy with it.
It has a ton of USB 3.0 connectors and headers for your front panels on your case. OC Genie is cool too, although I can't comment as I haven't yet decided to overclock my system since I'm happy with the i7 4790k's stock speed of 4Ghz.
The UEFI bios is pretty straight forward and it was easy to install Windows 7 from a USB flash drive by pressing F11 to get into boot options and selecting my flash drive. Updating the bios was easy did that the conventional way using a usb flash drive.
As for drivers, MSI does a pretty good job of making it easier to install and update drivers. I prefer to download the latest drivers than to use what came on the DVD, so I did that. I also decided that I didn't want the Killer Network App and decided to install the stand alone Killer Network driver instead.
I put this motherboard into a Cooler Master HAF 922 case with two Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 fans, + 3 Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition fans connected to my NZXT Sentry Mesh Fan Controller to keep everything cool and quiet.
I've had my system built for the last two weeks and everything runs really well. I'm very satisifed with this MSI motherboard and I can see using this system for the 4+ years without any problems. I'll update as needed should anything change. Otherwise at this time I would like to say that I highly recommend this motherboard.
I've had to replace 2 parts already while in the process of creating my first gaming build, and I was starting to lose faith I would be able to accomplish it after having both a faulty PSU and motherboard. I decided to look for another motherboard to try and I saw how well the reviews were for this MSi motherboard and decided to take a chance with it, and I'm so happy I did.
It required relatively simple knowledge to set everything back up (even putting on the backplate for the heatsink was simpler this time than the previous attempt) and the first time I turned it on it was running smoothly without any problems surfacing. I have to thank the makers of this motherboard for making me content for having my first gaming PC.
I know 5 stars is a tall order to give to a motherboard, but I'm just ecstatic it's completed my PC build without any more issues, I'll obviously return to edit if anything does surface later on, but right now I'm quite content.
As for options, I feel all this is lacking is PCIe NVME drive connectors, and perhaps newer generation PCIe in general, though that's really only important for modern high-speed storage or high-end 2022 graphics cards (RTX 4090, 7900XT/X).

BEAUCOUP d'emplacement pci-express et petits pci-e !!!
Aucun port PCI ancien, enfin !!!!!! Merci.
Important: un afficheur LED qui affiche le déroulement du chargement des test de la carte-mère, donc si une panne existe, le blocage stoppe sur le code correspondant à la panne. Car qui n'a jamais eu le doute entre "panne de carte -mère, du processeur ou de la RAM ??" quand le pc redémarre toutes les 20 secondes, impossible de savoir sans matos de rechange.
Un plus encore: Les petits fils du boitier PC pour Switch power, led HDD, led power et Switch reset peuvent se mettre sur un connecteur mobile dédié, que vous brancherez d'un seul coup une fois tous ces fils placés sur ce petit adaptateur. C'est très bien vue, par contre cela m'a mis un petit faux contact au switch power, j'ai du tordre un peu une patte pour remedier à cela, pas méchant pour moi, mais à surveiller à l'install.
Pour les plus bricoleur, il y a meme des points de contact V-chek pour prendre les mesures au multimètre.
Bios bien conçu pour l'overclock et les modifs fréquences.
Bref, tout cela n'existe pas chez les cartes de gamme équivalente concurrentes, (a part "une" asrock qui a l'afficheur led)
Par contre, le prix est abusé, vue la crise de disponibilité de carte lga1150 haut de gamme, c'est l'explosion, même les cartes reconditionnées sont à plus de 200 euros !! si j'avais eu vraiment le temps, j'aurais acheté à l'étranger en neuf et à moitié prix. Cela ne remet pas en cause la très bonne surprise sur cette carte à l'ouverture et l'install.
La consiglio a tutti coloro che sono interessati a configurazioni pc che non siano dell'ultima generazione. La consiglio, mi ha soddisfatto in pieno e ha superato le mie aspettative.
Edit: segunda compra del mismo producto, llegó perfecta y a tiempo, sin fallas y nueva. Excelente producto y la calidad es abrumadora.
