Where it slightly scales back, to keep the price lower no doubt, is with only one M.2 Gen 5 slot and a lack of on-board controls, which you’d typically see with more premium models such as MSI’s God-like series. But considering it comes in at more of the mid-range price-point, we think it’s a smart pick for most gaming PC builds.
- Key motherboard features: AM5, DDR5 8400+ MT/s (OC), M.2 Gen5, PCIe 5.0, WIFI 7, 5G LAN, Bluetooth 5.4
- Everything you need for AM5: Pair this with the latest Ryzen CPUs, DDR5 RAM and Gen5 SSDs for a future-proof build, and forget about upgrading your motherboard for sometime to come.
- Good for overclocking: 14+2+1 VRM and 80A smart power stage offers loads of potential for increasing system performance.
- Stunning design: While it may lack some of the bells and whistles from MSI’s top-tier lineup, it’s a great looking motherboard that will look excellent on display in the right PC case.
Who’s this deal for?
Coming in at $317.99, this motherboard is real winner for anyone looking for top-tier performance, access to all thing PCIe 5.0, and overclocking potential for a mid-range level price. It was great value for money at full price, but with this deal it’s even better in our view.
