This board is the first purchase of the MSI brand. More "old-school" brands have been bought in the past since time immemorial, but the new chipset and positioning the product as a "starter item for gamers" did the trick. In general, the impressions are quite pleasant. With its pros. A rather cold board, when forcing the Internet, it was difficult, reading reviews, to decide on a brand and a purchase. A lot has been written about modern boards that they like to overheat, there is no good cooling system, and so on. The i-9 10900k is powered, so the temperature is above 60 degrees Celsius - it does not rise. Even the bulky Dark Rock 4 Pro stood up well, while not "scratching" the RAM bar. Nothing makes noise, does not click, etc. Sufficiently convenient installation of components, the availability of all grooves and pins (but not everywhere). Some kind of backlighting in the lower right part of the "board", an interesting solution, because cooling, planks, cards already glow like a Christmas tree, but the bottom does not. Its cons: Terrible bios. And there is nothing more to say. The operative in the drain started up only at 2400, to find the desired tab and its "overclocking" I had to scroll through the instructions, since it is written there in an accessible language. However, loading the BIOS on M.2 into the OS takes a little longer than on motherboards from other brands, but this is not significant. Flimsy soldering of capacitors and other smaller ones. During the installation process, you need to be careful enough if you do not want to tear off any soldering with a light touch of the fingertips.
