Me, who is used to Asus, it's different, but it's a good motherboard that does the job with an easy-to-read BIOS and some nice pre-installed software.
Very happy with this motherboard, the msi BIOS is fairly intuitive and the m-flash for updating is simple even for a novice like me. The wifi 6 picks up quite well despite 2 walls of blocks between my router and my computer. From a connectivity point of view, the card is well supplied with USB, an Ethernet port, 3 display ports and audio/video connectors.
I have nothing to say about the intrinsic qualities of the CM, which gives complete satisfaction.
However, the product manual should state more clearly that a BIOS update is required to make the card compatible with 13th and 14th generation Intel processors. As I'm not very experienced, I wasn't able to identify this problem before receiving my order.
The card doesn't have a button for flashing the bios, so it's impossible to update it without a natively compatible processor (12th generation). I therefore had to ask LDLC to carry out this service in their workshop (costing around £25) after receiving my order.
Thank you to Guillaume for his professionalism and advice. He was very attentive to my needs and found the best equipment for my budget.
functional CM, exactly what was promised, no connector problems
very satisfied, I recommend
The salesman didn't try to sell me the most expensive component at any price, but the one that was enough to remedy the fact that my CM had burnt out.
A little complex to install, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars, but once it's done, it's a very good card that has everything you need: plenty of connectors, especially for hard disks, and lots of slots for USB connections. And its built-in WIFI detection is a real plus. Now that everything's installed, it's running smoothly.
Complicated installation:
- The motherboard is compatible with 13th and 14th generation Intel processors, but only if the BIOS is up to date, which is not the case: we're sorry that the BIOS version installed at the time of purchase is not indicated on the product sheet.
- There's no option to install the BIOS without a keyboard or screen, like other competing boards
- It detects WIFI but has no Ethernet port: another computer with a USB key will be essential for installations, as the WIFI driver is not present by default, making WIFI undetectable
I had no trouble installing it to update my old PC. I chose it for its wifi6 and optical audio port.
It has everything you need: integrated WiFi, solid VRM, several M.2 ports and perfect compatibility with 13? and 14? generation Intel processors. Installation is simple, the BIOS is intuitive and the connectivity is extensive. Quite frankly, it's a great choice for a well-balanced, upgradeable system!
Very good motherboard, recognised brand, the integrated wifi card is very useful. Highly recommendable.
I got it to pair with a super rtx 4070 and an i5-14600 and it's perfect, wifi and bluetooth are a must.
Everything went smoothly, the delivery was fast and the service very professional.
They contacted me to get some more information so that everything could run smoothly.
Works very well, but I don't use it, I use fibre optics instead. On the other hand, there weren't enough explanations for configuring the bios, but finally, with a bit of persistence and your help, everything works perfectly. Thank you
... but the 'gaming' aspect of this card is not really understandable in normal use. The price is a bit high. It's the least expensive of the latest-generation Intel cards with built-in Wi-Fi. If you don't need wifi, don't hesitate to go for the cards below with the same chipset. Yes, it's a nice motherboard, but that's all. Gaming configuration fitted inside:
- Fractal Design North
- i7-12700KF
- CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 32 GO (2 X 16 GO) 4800 MHZ CL40 - BLACK
- 2 Nvme 2To + 500Go gen4
- ASUS GEFORCE RTX 4070 DUAL OC EDITION 12GB - USED
Little tip: Don't forget to support the advanced socket.
Received 1 month after ordering from LDLC.
Little hindsight, currently working.
Windows installation complicated.
Bios settings more complicated than the CM it replaces, although it too is MSI.
Having ordered a PC without Windows, I installed it myself. Once the installation was done, it was impossible to connect to wifi to update the drivers. And without updating the drivers, I couldn't activate the wifi on the MSI card (at least I couldn't).
Luckily I had a wifi key to solve this problem. Now the card's wifi works and everything seems to be running smoothly.
