Strength and robustness :)
This is my 3rd motherboard from the MSI arsenal
This card from the MAG range is in every way what I expected:
- well laid out micro ATX size
- value for money. some ports are reinforced and other components are protected by dissipation plates which gives a solid feeling
- the features are more than enough for a streamlined configuration with the possibility to do a little (not too much) overclocking.
- Its black and aluminium presentation gives it a chic look. If you want to go colourful it's possible with the different rgb connections and there are some military looking stickers (which I find distasteful for my part)
The assembly is as usual quite simple thanks to the design of the card and if you take care of the order of assembly (the nvme and sysfan1 slots are easy to access before installing the graphics card)
The only bad surprise is the name of the systematic bios update to support 13th generation processors. I had to go back to the shop for this update because I didn't have a 12th generation processor on hand.
I have to order the LDLC BIOS UPDATE SERVICE if you are in my case.
I've put it together with a 13600KF and ddr5-6000 ram all is OK as long as the bios is up to date. think about enabling XMP support from the bios for this kind of RAM
