Review: Good Motherboard - 😍🍎
Review: Read the review first please - a friend of mine suggested MSI, this MOBO is designed to OC the CPU to it's max (5.2 GHz on my 9900K) which is great but it was doing it with even within windows (like normal usage) that means a lot of heat even my D15 cooler couldn't keep up and was getting alot of BSOD and random restart till I manually adjust the BIOS . but my main 2 reasons for 3 stars it was audio I tend to use front panel audio for my headset and back for sound system MSI doesn't allow to switch between them within windows sound control you need to through their 3rd party software called Nahimic 3 and even that it doesn't register as front/ back panel audio it's called front panel pop notification. So I though I was doing something wrong and tried different steps for troubleshooting then I gave up and wrote to MSI and they responded and I quoting (it's normal that the way you should use it). and the second reason was the killer networking adapter it was a nightmare frequently dropping connection during games only which is kinda annoying when I switch an external network adapter the issue disappeared and the funny thing it was only during gaming I did an extensive usage like copying files and streaming creating VM's on my NAS no issue occurred. So maybe mine was defective but other than those two reasons this MOBO is great value for the it's price and mystic light has a lot of effects (if you are into RGB) BIOS was some what easy to navigate (although i'm used to Asus's)
