This story starts out a bit negative, but i promise in the end msi really shines. Very happy with this combo. And, at this point, a shout out to amazon as well.

System is super fast with 13700k i7, 64gb of corsair ddr5 and a 2tb samsung 980 pro ssd.

Older versions of the thermal grizzly frame needed to be tightened to a specific torque, but the current version just needs to be hand tightened as described above. Coming from asus strix platform, so far loving msi bios, and software.

Do not buy this motherboard of you are using 6400mhz memory, especially for gaming or any memory-intensive use. Overall, an exercise in wasting money.

Been trying and trying everything to stop blue screening and random crashing. It even checks compatibility of parts, and no red flag was raised. My computer is basically worthless now.
