Quality

This is a great product, and is just perfect for a high end gaming machine.

Super sturdy, looks awesome, and supports everything i needed on a mobo

8ghz with rock solid stability and the board doesn't even get past warm on the onboard heat sinks.

After adjusting the bios, i got my bootup time from off to login screen in about 5 seconds.

Price

Best mobo for the price by far.

Buy this if you are in the market for z170 gaming mobo and do not want to spend a fortune

For the price this is a great buy.

Great mobo for the price, good oc options, great stability, and good amount of features for the price, and still getting updates.

Shipping

Ordered in march of 2017 and the board i received had the kaby lake capable firmware.

My board shipped with the bios that let me do blck tweaking that is supposed to allow for non-k overclocking.

Packaging/appearance

Out of the box, it didn't boot with an i7-7700k.

Competitiveness

I highly recommend this product as well as every other msi product.

Overall, an excellent board from msi without breaking the bank.

The pci slots prevent card sag a bit better than its predecessors due to the better bonds to the pcb.

Also, the "mystic-light" as msi calls it, is alright.
