+ I will mention compatibility, as I didn't encounter any issues with memory, etc. Everything runs smoothly, and that's important.
-Negative aspects
- I will mention the price for what it offers.
- The packaging requires great attention. It is literally thrown in a cardboard box by MSI, without any foam or protection to keep it stable and safe during transportation. So, it's better not to order it with a courier.
- Sometimes, the MSI Center causes delays and consumes a lot of resources such as CPU usage, RAM, etc., reaching up to 80% or the same goes for hard drive usage, without any reason. The problem can be solved by ending the task and disabling the option to start it up and not deal with it.
- Apart from that, it's a very good motherboard, but it's worth considering other brands as well. It seems that MSI has significantly reduced production costs
He did not see the 7600 (non X). He only found it after flashing the latest BIOS using the special button (without CPU and RAM installed). The process is an extra hassle and potential buyers should be aware of it.
On the positive side:
1. The presence of AMD WiFi & Bluetooth and support for 2x M2 SSDs.
2. Corsair 32 GB 6000Mhz expo directly.
The layout of it is a bit silly and you can't put any extra card in the last pcie (like a decent sound card for example), although if the graphics card takes up more than 2 slots.
