Pros & Cons
Pros
The packaging is dull, but the board itself is absolutely brilliant. Also a nice understated design. Msi motherboards have always been great, this one lives up to its name.
Cons
Msi need to get their qc's trained better. Expect more from a £500 motherboard.
Highlights
Quality
Personally i’ve had no issues at all with the bios being fine and all ports / sockets working.
My advice is to get this board from another reputable uk reseller and enjoy the product.
Price
Considering how much these boards cost , why no manual.
Packaging/appearance
The packaging is dull, but the board itself is absolutely brilliant.
Competitiveness
Love the simplicity about this board after swapping out from a competitor after a unstable product.
I have lots of am4 msi boards too, and they're all solid, from budget to high end.
I've had this motherboard for just over two weeks and paired it with a ryzen 7 7800x3d.

I do hope msi plan to improve the msi center application this actually caused the system to misread cpu temps and eventually lead to me uninstalling it

Turnkey style place holders i would have oreffferred a regular screw type to hold in my m2 nvme drives
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The turnkeys are a very very flimsy pkadtic and brreak very easily if like me you have big heavy handed fingers

Also they seem rather pointless as you still need to remove the screws holding in the heat shields so the 34quick release34 design is kind of negated by that fact so realustically they are simply designed so that the screw holding in the heatshield is not what holds in the drive
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
They do come with the regular type of place holders for m2 drives needed if yours have their own or 3rd party heatshields but note that you will not be able to use the msi heatshields with these as the hole that the heatshield screw goes into is now replaced with the screw that holds the m2 place holder screw to summise quick release are delicate somewhat pointless as are only served to allow use of the msi heatshield
