Beautiful mobo, everything has been thought of to make building east and beautiful at the same time


Working well

- MSI has, in my view, the best BIOS/UEFI of any of the major motherboard manufacturers at the moment. The layout is good, fan controls are straightforward, and they make it easy to adjust TDP without having to manually input the relevant PPT/TDC/EDC values. They've also done a pretty good job of pushing ongoing development, which is critical, especially with what will hopefully be a long-lived platform. - Dedicated AIO pump header with correct out-of-box configuration. - Color scheme is nice and neutral. No random, brightly-colored text/graphics on any heatsinks or the backplate, which is appreciated. - Reliable onboard network and audio chips from Realtek. - No noticeable coil whine, at least on my unit.

This was a major headache because I was trying to use the OnBoard graphics with a integrated AMD processor and I couldn't get video no matter what I tried so i took an old GPU from an old PC and didn't realize the old GPU's force the Bios into CSM mode vs UEFI but on top of that I think I had a HDMI cable that worked find on my BluRay player but not on the Onboard HDMI for this board. So I ended up spending $500 on a new GPU i was trying to avoid spending money on. That's what I get for trying to go cheap i guess.


No regrets I was looking forward to it!!

- Easy to use, well organized bios. - Well made, very solid feeling construction. - Screw-less M2 drive installation. (Heat sink covers for M2 drives do have screws, but they can remain attached to the heat sink covers unless ) - Onboard audio is much improved over less expensive motherboards. - includes a pcie x1 slot. (Many newer motherboards do not.)

very easy to install, be careful installing cpu, line up corner marks.

All the bells and whistles Looks really stunning Six NVMe slots Prepared to run on custom water loop but runs just fine on air (make sure you have proper airflow) As stable as it gets Lots of type-c ports and 2 thunderbolt (plus 2 type-c headers, 2 regular A headers, and 2 USB 2.0 headers) Got it on sale <3


this is a beautiful board in every regard and has all of the things that i personally need to make a hot rod computer when paired with my ryzen 7 9700

1) 10g nice on board 2) optional IPMI which I am planning to get. 3) Asus cpu enhancement all 24 cores fully under-load at 4.8GHz/ single core 5.2 boot stock out of the box 4) 1TB or Rdimm supported 5) lots of pcie slots for expansion

I purchased a 64GB kit and this Gigabyte X870e Aorus Master motherboard was a free gift. Paired nicely together with Corsair 64GB 6000mhz ram and and Ryzen 9800X3D. Memory training was quick, everything worked out of the box. Be sure to check your ram compatibility with your motherboard and that its rated EXPO.


- I like how it looks but till I can use the board I dont know what other pros I can give (waiting on my CPU cooler)

Great Motherboard that is well built and very easy to work with. Plenty of M.2 slots, USB/RGB/fan connectors. Pre-installed I/O shield and One-click M.2 slots, which was a great addition. Made it very easy and quick to install. Love the aesthetic as well. The motherboard also came with a USB drive that already had all the updated drivers I needed, which really saved the day when I was booting up the pc for the first time. It saved me from needing to download and install drivers from a separate pc/USB drive. Thank you MSI!

IPMI alone has to be the biggest feature! Board looks built to last decades

Plenty of I/O, 3 M.2 drives, PCIE5, wifi (haven't tested this yet). Quiet fan curve by default but stays cool, my 250K at 100+ watts is barely over 50, while nothing else on the board is out of the 30's. No issues applying XMP timings. The main workload I bought this for a heavily threaded Python app with a lot pillow usage and perceptual hashing limited by memory bandwidth. This is a whole lot faster than my 11700k and has been rock solid. Probably nothing to stress the 8 phase power delivery, which is fine with me!

Looks great. Rgb and carbon fiber compliment the build without being too edgy Super easy dummy proof bios and overclocking comes with tons of good and useful software to tweak and monitor hardware
