Got it at christmas and it is great for gaming, only con is it has a slow boot at high RAM speeds, but no bother really.
For the first PC build I've done in years this was a nice, simple motherboard. Everything seemed well laid out and MSI have some very helpful videos on their website. The BIOS that the board came with was very out of date but that was quickly resolved. Overall - very happy with my purchase.
worked with my 7800X 3D straight out the box, although there was a bios update on the MSI website last week that optimises performance with the 7800X 3D chip so if you go that route its definitely worth getting the bios update. I am using corsair vengeance 6000mhz CL30 with no issues and would definitely recommend to stick to the tigheter cl30 timings if you can as it seems to be a sweet spot with the 6000mhz (above 6000 you read a lot of mixed reports online about it causing issues and there doesnt seem to be any real performance benefit) annoying that motherboards wont give you a post number LED unless you buy a £500+ board these days with 50 useless features you have no real use for with that 1 or 2 things you would actually like. I got this board while it was on sale and can recommend it whole heartedly, in fairness I didnt even miss the led numbers this time as it posted first time (and it has the ezdebug led thing), but troubleshooting things in the past i always apprecaited the led numbers.. Board is aesthetically pleasing, performs great and has everything you would require without going crazy with little bells and whistles that you dont need for the most part
