Another great MSI product

My last four computer builds have used MSI MBs. I have used other brands in the past and have had a lot of problems. MSI always seems to be a high quality product. I mated this with 32GB of ram and a 3770K CPU. Very pleased with the performance!

Fantastic Mother Board. Worked perfect out of the box. I have 4 new builds and all 4 have the MSi MB. Can't go wrong with this board. Get it! You'll love it.

Onboard LAN Didn't Work

This is a truly amazing mobo! I would have given it all 5 stars if the entire board worked like it's supposed to. I read the other review about the onboard LAN not working, and thought it probably was a fluke. Much to my surprise, I had the same problem. That tells me, with only 6 reviews and 2 of the same problem, MSI has a problem with their quality control testing. Even though I love every other aspect of this MOBO, I would seriously think twice about buying another MSI board. It's too bad also, because MSI has some real feature packed boards. I solved the problem by adding a PCIe Lan. My original plan was to team the 2 LANs (which you can do with this board).

Great MB

Great mother board, initially the sound didn't work even after using the drivers CD. Found drivers on MSI website and worked like a charm!
