  • Good, but not a user-friendly experience, please read.
Decent board for the price, however a few notes: The manual is completely inadequate for first-time use. It's supposed to be an "older" board. Has four huge drawbacks, one of which caused me to have to replace it. 1. Secure Boot/UEFI are enabled by default. This means that if you have an older install of Windows 10, there's a good chance it won't boot by default until they're disabled. 2. BIOS is only accessible by DisplayPort, at least first off. 3. The POST (Power On Self-Test) is not onscreen. What is this, the dark ages? I've never had a windows-based machine in 30 years that didn't have an onscreen POST, and for the last 15 years, I've had dozens of machines to call my own, of all makes and models, primarily self-built, and for the last 20 years, I've worked as a field desktop technician under a variety of titles and worked on no doubt thousands of machines from Dell, HP, Compaq, Packard Bell, IBM, Lenovo, and many self-built. What the absolute heck!? 3a. So with that said, the POST is an "ez debug" on-motherboard set of four LED's, each illuminated during and if stuck on a test. It reveals NOTHING about the actual problem, nor does it point to anything resembling a symptom. 4. Don't update the BIOS.... just don't. That said, let me lay out my experience. I had a pre-existing install of windows on my kids' machine. I ordered the CPU/Board/memory, all new, and swapped them in with my other existing components, PSU, GPU, SSD's, and optical drive. Installed everything, and powered on, nothing. Black screen. That leads me to the sparsely-detailed, not included manual (PDF). I learn it has the "EZ Debug" POST, a small row of LED's on the motherboard. They read BOOT, VGA, DRAM, and CPU. They light up individually during each test. It's stuck at Boot. That could mean no drives, no OS, corrupt OS, missing MBR, etc. Only after extensive research, several hours, and with the tenacious help of a buddy, a post was located on TomsHardware in which someone discovered that it has to be connected with DisplayPort. Alas, the machine's desk only has DVI. At the suggestion of said post, I reset CMOS, and connected it at my desk with DP. Finally! it goes straight to BIOS. Tried to skip, but it kept cycling back to BIOS. Disabled Secure Boot and changed UEFI to CSM, and instantly it boots just fine. *****Note: this shouldn't have been an issue if it was installing a new OS via a bootable USB drive, but I have one that I use regularly, and it wouldn't boot either***** This machine had been off for several months. Ran it through all updates, even from the manufacturer, and I'm down to just the BIOS. It is a March 2023 version currently, but there is a July available. I download it, load it to a FAT32 stick per instructions, reboot to BIOS, switch to Flash mode, and begin the process. It slowly gets to 100%, at which point it should reboot.....but it just shuts off, completely. I've seen some systems appear to be off at this point in the flashing process, only to power themselves back on after several minutes, but I gave 10-15 minutes for this one, and nothing. I powered it back on, and now it's failing at the CPU POST LED, again no onscreen indicator. How in the heck could the CPU be failed? No idea. Clearly this LED isn't useful. I again tried the CMOS reset. Nothing. I did spend several more hours trying what turned out to be irrelevant possibilities, but suffice it to say that the CPU was not and could not have been the problem. I replaced the board with Amazon's speedy sub-24-hour delivery. I immediately put it on a DP connection, modified the Secure Boot and UEFI>CSM settings. and I'm back up and running all day now, back on the DVI connection, and returning the first board. Summary: 1. The EZ Debug LED's are garbage and not useful in the slightest. They don't even give you an idea of where to start, and with the CPU light being stuck on, just plain wrong. 2. A lack of an onscreen POST is a travesty to say the least. 3. The requirement of being on a DisplayPort connection to see the BIOS SHOULD BE IN THE MANUAL!!!!! 4. Updating BIOS is Standard Operating Procedure in my line of work. We have to check to ensure it's current before we deploy equipment to end users, when troubleshooting hardware issues, and are required to do it by Dell and HP before we engage them for any kind of warranty service or repair. ... show more

  • Good board, some issues easily resolved.
Value for the money seems to be there since it's MSI has new features but also weirdly couples old school tech. When installed the system kept booting to the bios menu. This was simply solved by turning the selector from ufei to csm, moving my drive to the front, saving and exiting and it booted right into windows for me. Will update if anything happens. ... show more

  • ESPECTACULAR
Gente, recomendadisimo, no se mucho de pcs pero mi hermano si, el es ingeniero de sistemas , y me lo recomendó. El rendimiento es de locura, obviamente deben elegir bien los demás elementos como las ram, o el ssd. En términos de conectores, tiene solo una entrada hdmi para una pantalla, si desean conectar otra pantalla, tendrán que usar la otra ranura DVI 24pines + 1, no trae ranura Vga. Cuenta con 4 ranuras usb 3.0 y dos ranuras usb 2.0. La entrada ethernet para el Internet y los demás normales como sonido, micrófono, y para mouse y teclados con entrada antigua, si es que los tienen, de lo contrario pues las entradas usb. Recuerden que ninguna pc tiene antena de Internet wifi, por eso toca con cable ethernet, o sino una excelente alternativa en mi caso es tener una pequeña usb extensor de red, es simplemente conectarla a un puerto usb y funciona (tengo la MERCUSYS MW300UM), actúa excelente y la red nunca se cae. ... show more

  • Económica y adecuada si quieres empezar desde cero
Armé una PC lo más económicamente posible para edición de fotografía y jugar ocacional y no he tenido problema hasta ahora. Le puse un procesador Ryzen 5 4600G y 16GB RAM, planteo repotenciarla más adelante con un ryzen 7 5700G ya que aún lo puede soportar. Una placa de entrada que si sale buena la tendré por unos cuantos años. ... show more

  • Ryzen 5 5600G is a go!
Using it with a Ryzen 5 5600G (4GHz, 6 cores, 12 threads), 16GB DDR4 RAM (2x8GB, 3200MHz), 1TB SSD, and Nvidia RTX 3050 8GB graphics. Runs nice and smooth with a modest power draw. DOOM Eternal (Steam), MechWarrior 5 (gog no DRM), Hunt Showdown (Steam), Batman Arkham Knight (gog no DRM), No Mans Sky (gog no DRM), Far Cry 5 (Ubisoft Connect)...all run on max graphics settings like silk. ... show more
