Good old MSI, defective out of the box

Good: The board has an LED that says "CPU cannot be detected". because the board could not recognize the Ryzen 7 I bought. So I put my existing Ryzen 5 in there, no. Couldn't find the CPU. Put both processors (one by one) in my old board, they work fine. Yes I cleared the CMOS and other necessary stuff but this board was just useless. All I wanted was a big board with lots of PCIex16 slots. I go back to Asus.

Pros
