Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Xmp works great on memory. Using corsair ddr5 6000 rgb ram. Git it with 12700k oc to 5.

It really is an excellent board if it meets your io needs. Board is high quality (to my eyes at least), really good lookin' too so that's a plus. Nice storage is nice on this board.

The noise isn't a deal breaker. If you're into rgb it also has nifty mystic light lighting. The only complaint is that you need to use msi's mystic light app to control your rgb.

The 13900ks can run full tilt even on an aio well under 300w and 70's for temps. Only problem is the vrms eventually overheat when doing a 30 min stress/stability test and the vrm hit 95c+ then throttle down.

Cons

Intel nic drops connections and the ethernet controller has connection and speed issues. No power to board. No customer support.

Buyer beware. As another reviewer said, that's a major quality control problem. But my expectations are low.

The voltage will be determined by the quality of the chip you have.

Price

Once the price drops on this chipset, this motherboard will deffinitely be worth it.

The price is low too considering other z790 options out there.

Regarding price: you can buy other, less flashy motherboards for significantly less than i paid.

)my two chief complaints with this motherboard are the instructions in the box and the price.

Packaging/appearance

The packaging was good (standard but robust box) with good foam cushioning.

It has quality packaging, wifi antenna, cable stickers, and sata cables.

I only subtracted one star for this because it is asking a lot of this little dynamo and in most scenarios the cpu would have o... Read More

Competitiveness

I bought this product for my cousin, i wanted to do a white board and after looking at a lot of competitors i was sold with thi... Read More

A set of high-end features for an efficient price.

Even more so if you stick to ddr4 motherboards.

Another warning is this itx board has a vrm / ports fan built in and at full ramp it is definitely audible.
