3.0 out of 5 starsBeen working for 2 years now (UPDATED)

Edit 2: Dropped another star because this motherboard was the source of all my random crashes. I kept getting memory management errors and for the longest time I thought it was my RAM. Updating my memory only made my system crash more often. MSI released a BIOS update a few months ago that fixes this, but that's 3 years after I bought the motherboard. There were so many times I lost matches, got suspended from games, or lost important work because of how often it crashes. MSI should have fixed this sooner.
Edit: Dropped one star because MSI has provided very little support software side for this motherboard. This does not affect performance, but does make things like controlling RGB lights in your case to be lackluster. If you bought a kit of memory thinking it would work on this mobo because it says "mystic compatible", you'd be wrong because it's only supported by newer MSI motherboard that uses Dragon Center instead of the classic MSI Gaming App.
This motherboard has been working perfectly for the past 2 years. Easy to work with, good I/O, and no clearance issue even in my sub-20L case. Just put in an NVMe drive with no issue. Saw someone asking if this supports NVMe and the answer is yes, if your motherboard has an M.2 slot then it more than likely does (someone said you need an adapter in the Q&A, this is false).
