I got a piece on which in no way works update bios directly from the flash drive using the button to update bios on the rear panel. Tested both with the original USB flash drive that comes with the board and with two others. BIOS flash procedure according to the manual of course + video instructions. Nothing works, I'm returning the board and buying another one that already supports 14th gen processor from the factory.
tl: dr solid board
number of usb ports
number of m.2 slots, m.2 covers act as heat sinks
solid workmanship
Too bad it doesn't work with i9-14900KF
high failure rate according to internet browsing, problems with power on, flash bios, overall board recovery
Lack of drivers for ethernet and wifi, when booting and installing WIN you have to deal with it in a complicated way, even though they add a USB with drivers, so you can't use it because you don't have win installed yet. So you have to do it in a complicated way using the command line.
Or solve via usb reduction to ethernet cable. It's got USB drivers.
While this is a mid-range board aiming higher rather, it is priced pretty high. I didn't like the design of its successor MAX, so I went for this one and I can't regret it. Everything is stable although I haven't managed to keep the RAM at 6600MHz with XMP profile yet, only at 6400MHz (Trident CL34 Z5) I just need to play with it more. As far as internal and external ports are concerned, I think that even PCIE speeds are sufficient. BIOS settings advanced some elements that other brands do not have. Clear, simple. With CPU I5-14600K and RTX 4080 there is no problem. When installing W11, I just needed to connect to the data for the drivers. Otherwise, you'll find a 32GB MSI flash drive with all the drivers and software in the package, which is a very cool solution.
After a long selection I chose this option, which should be powerful enough even in 5 years, which was one of my requirements, that the components be relevant and at a good level even in a few years.
After a long selection I chose this top board without compromise. Quality processed, I drive with it i9-13900k and it's simply a great combination. In addition, slots for 4 m.2 drives, which is not usual!
The motherboard from MSI did not disappoint me again. It is robust and made of high quality materials. It can handle an Intel i7 13700k CPU without any problems according to my stress tests. It certainly also doesn't hurt the number of M2 slots for PCIE 4 SSDs which are really fast, too bad there's no PCIE 5.0 support for a single SSD Disc as the main one for the OS. I am excessively satisfied so far after weeks of gaming or editing videos.
Very nice design, fits almost all cabinets. If you care about design.
The number of VRMs to power the processor, can playfully handle Intel i7 13700k.
Never enough for the number of M2nvme SSD containers
The BIOS is very clear, especially for me who keeps an eye on temperatures via PWM fans.
DDR5 memory support, don't forget to enable XMP profile for faster memory speed.
This motherboard is already virtually ready for next gen graphics cards, with support for PCIE 5.0 Bandwith
No PCIE 5.0 for the SSD is about the only minus, unfortunately.
