Review: Exactly what I needed for my ITX build - At time of writing this, that's the only z790 mITX motherboard available with 3x NVME SSD slots. I'm using all three in RAID0 configuration (yes, I'm doing regular backups) which gives me around 10 GB/s disk transfer rate. That was my primary reason for choosing that motherboard. The other reason: I switched to MSI from ASUS, which despite being my favorite manufacturer in the past, disappointed me with z690 and z790 ITX motherboards (only 2x NVME, with terrible cooling, and some SATA expansion cards that are hard to fit when you have very limited space, not to mention that z690 was unstable for me). Other things also work well, easy overclocking, not bad design except that diagnostic lights could be placed on top of the motherboard, otherwise they will be almost invisible inside most mITX builds. Also having option for PC speaker (for diagnostic purposes) and ping for external thermal sensor would be nice. Apart from that motherboard is stable with i9-13900K @ 6Ghz, and RTX 4090.
Review: Recommended - Can take up to 3 X M.2 drives. CPU cooler and RAM all fit nicely
