Revainrating 3 out of 5

A good motherboard when it's really new and terrible when the previous user had no idea how to overclock it.

When used with I7 11700K and Gigabyte 6700xt, with LG 4K TV (6700xt) and normal 1080p 60Hz monitor (HDMI built in), works fine after unnecessary problems. 2 stars deducted because I'm sure I got a used/returned motherboard. No manual, no driver CD, and the packaging inside wasn't sealed with tape but taped to the neck of an anti-static bag. The board itself came pre-installed (or mis-set by the previous owner) with incorrect overclock settings, resulting in first-boot issues, clock control errors, and freezing in Windows. Factory resetting the motherboard solved an issue that shouldn't have happened in the first place. Checked with a friend who didn't have any of these issues, got the manual and drivers, and the board was 'sealed' in a static package bought from the Microcentre and had no overclock preset. I had to download drivers from MSI and Intel, use another system and copy them to a USB drive. If I were a new faucet I couldn't get the system to work and would return it. I'm glad I have 20+ years of construction experience and additional resources to solve these problems. I will never order motherboards from Revain again. I can only cross my fingers if I have to send this back. It is unacceptable to receive a used board when the description says new board and I paid for the new board and not someone's failed overclock/refund experiment.

Pros
  • Still satisfied
Cons
  • Almost never
