This board is a game changer. Installing components is easy, and no tools are required. Removing the GPU is stress free with the new button release. Compatibility with RAM and other components is excellent. Performance is perfect for gamers and enthusiasts, both speed and cooling. Finally, the bios is a breath of fresh air: intuitive and easy to scroll.
The board worked out of the box and has been stable for several weeks now. Highly recommend.

Nothing but a great motherboard, I haven't had the time to fully test things out yet, but so far I'm loving it. BIOS is new an need to get used to it, where everything is, but everything is nicely laid out. Everything I threw at it worked fine from the get go, 9800x3D and 64GB 6400mhz kingston C32 kit of RAM, and no matter what setting I set in the BIOS it just works, no hanging so far... I also love the I/O of this board, some asks for 10G lan etc... but 5gb is more than I will use for the time being, WiFi 7 and the number of usb-c is so nice and welcome. Not the cheapest, but I definitely think is worth every penny. Recommended!!

Another great motherboard from MSI,
I have three now currently in use in various systems two Z790 boards (Intel Based), being the Carbon Wi-Fi and the Tomahawk, and I have decided to check out the new AMD chips which people are raving about, so what better board to use than the MSI X870E Carbon Wi-Fi.
First impressions, what have I been sent, feels like there is a brick in the box, honestly this is the heaviest motherboard I've ever had! and that's a good thing, The motherboard actually feels quality, it weighs a ton and looks stunning. When paying a hefty price for a motherboard its great that it feels like it.
There are ample USB and ARGB connectors on the board, and the additional break out connectors provided in the box are a great bonus.
One thing I have noticed and a lot of manufactures are doing this now, no real manual in the box, I know this is a sign of the times. You do however get a leaflet which has the good to know stuff, i.e. the front panel connectors and RAM installation order.
Yet to build the system fully, like others I am waiting on a Ryzen 9800X3D to pair up with this board.
