I'll make it short, easily the best budget mobo, dont expect overclocking or great features! be aware the cpu socket and ram are close, i had a problem where my cpu cooler went over one of my ram dimms or whatever its called i forgot, so i only had a access to one dimm, so i had to return my two sticks and get one stick
and somhow download the bios update on a usb and update the bios before you try installing OS, my problem was i was unable to install my os for some reason, until i updated my bios then i had no problems installing my OS ( windows 10)
other than that, ive really had no other issues and these issues are easily handleable, just dont expect a perfect mobo where you have no problems, but either way with its price i would easily recommended it for a budget build
hopefully my review is helpful to someone, its a pain googling the solution so i told you mine
careful with wide cpu coolers and if its wide expect only one available ram slot so just get one stick ( makes no difference unless you have an apu build)
update bios by downloading from msi website ( tyoe in the model) download the latest bios, put in a empty usb, go in bios, update via usb, then install OS
GOID LUCK !
