So it works, but I'm not particularly impressed. The white LEDs around the board are good and the QVL that MSI provides on their website are accurate. But 30 seconds per post is ridiculous! The lack of a fastboot option is terrible, I've had the last 5 builds from Asus and will most likely be back for the next one. Generally this one works but not at the level I'm used to. It should have a much better release time than it already is, 50 seconds to desktop with a 2000MB/s m.2 SSD is awful. Update: It's been a while now, tried 2 different CPUs and 3 sets of RAM. There always seems to be RAM issues, none of which loads at rated speeds. Not even flashX! I had to settle for my 3200 cl14 running on 2800 cl16. It doesn't matter which RAM or processor loads as fast as it loads. Update 2: Since the Agesa 1.1.0.1 BIOS update, the CPU and RAM speeds have improved significantly. I was able to get 2933MHz with 4 bars installed and my 1700x @ 4.0GHz without increasing stock. The ram is still not running at rated speed, but I still managed to greatly reduce the latency from the rated numbers. So I suspect this board has some ongoing Feinwein syndrome. But MSI improved it a lot with the latest BIOS update. However, compared to some of my last boards, the boots are still like a turtle.
