Everything about the purchase suits me, a very necessary product.

I didn't take off 1 star because of the USB connectors - this is an insignificant drawback.
The rest of the mother is worthy. Sturdy, well built, nothing to complain about.
The Crucial memory immediately started up at the stock frequency of 2666, without changing the profile (I write because MSI started the memory at low frequencies).
﻿

Pros

Fast start. Let's say MSI on the same chipset loads the BIOS for a very long time, which unpleasantly surprised me. Convenient location of the Clear Cmos jumper - if you drive the memory to too high frequencies, it is convenient to reset the BIOS. The memory slots are far enough away from the processor that the cooler does not block them. Sometimes a couple of millimeters is not enough, especially if the memory is with a heatsink.

Cons

Connectors for additional USB 2.0 brackets on the front. I have not seen cases where there would be 4 USB 2 connectors in the front, but sometimes you need to put an additional plank in the back. There may not be enough cord length for the bar.

A worthy representative for budget assemblies on the M4.

Pros below: The usual board for systems without overclocking. Everything is simple and without problems. Set and forget. Different cons: This is the price. But this is most likely a disadvantage of the exchange rate than this motherboard.

Has pros: I bought for 4400, I am satisfied with the purchase. Ability to work with VEGA 8. I overclocked the RAM on it from 2400 to 3000. Got cons: There are no radiators for the processor power system, two slots for RAM.
