Overall Worth Buying 10th Gen Intel

I don't like MSI in general, but I think you can get away with their shady practices because they make great products overall. This mob is no exception. I doubt I'll switch to 11th Gen Intel, but it's nice to know I can. Handles 10700k without a single problem. The distance between the PCIe x16 slots is sufficient to install a second GPU, even with a 2.5-slot GPU, on the first PCIe. The specs are good enough, I would have preferred it to have Bluetooth, but that's no big deal.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Dismal Hardware
