MSI MPG Z590 GAMING EDGE WIFI Motherboard ATX - Supports Intel Core 11th Gen Processors, LGA 1200 - Mystic Light, 14 Duet Rail 75A VRM, DDR4 Boost (5333MHz/OC), PCIe 4.0 x16, M.2 Gen4/3 x4, Wi-Fi 6E

I was running into a lot of issues with this motherboard. When I got it it had the V2.20 of the Bios and I didn't have any issue into making my Ram work in CL19 4533mhz but once I updated to V2.80 (The latest version available) I started running into a lot of issues, especially regarding the frequency of my ram. Until that point I was using the msi z-590 A pro that was broken when I travalled from Spain to Ireland and I never had this issue even updating the Bios.In other aspects, I would say it is a pretty solid motherboard and recommend it to anyone that it is still using any LGA 1200 Socket CPU, the VRM is good and all the other features of this gpu but it amazes me the most its the WiFi Card.I have bought PCiE network card, but this network card it is probably the best in the market. Performs as good as if you were on ethernet (if you are relatively close to the router).

Good documentation with good features. For some reason, the mother board requires a plugged in GPU card to use compatibility/"non uefi" mode. And if the graphics card isn't plugged in, then it defaults to UEFI mode. Which causes the pc to not boot. This caused me some headaches before I found someone on the internet that had the same issue. I would buy this motherboard again.

I'd spent countless hours trying to figure out why my Motherboard wasn't receiving / my general system wasn't turning on, call me thick by all means but you MUST have a USB formatted in a FAT32 Format, you have to get the most recent BIOS from MSI's site for this motherboard and put it into the USB slots, preferably a 2.0 USB and then press the FLASH button first to obviously flash the motherboard, a red light will pop up around that Flash BIOS Button and it should stay flashing for a good while to which it is updating and will soon kick on the power for your PC.This was not in the manual and so countless hours went on in pure confusement, rebuilding and building it anew and so on, I know it may seem commonplace to most people but to those few others I hope this aides you!

Item was defective when I bought it and missed the return window. One of the pins was bent where I put the processer so it won't work.

As usual MSI rushed the product through to get it to market, so it came with BIOS bugs. all kinds of instability and compatibility issues rendering the board quite un-useable for some. In my case the BIOS could not recognize that a dedicated GPU was installed. an issue with PCIe settings in BIOS. An issue, along with dozens of others that have been addressed. There have been multiple BIOS updates, proving the system was not ready before release. On the plus side, most issues should now be fixed and generally the board is now available at a lower rrp.A quick look online for reviews/tests/comparisons shows that this board is infact one of the fastest 11th gen chipsets available. Outperforming very expensive ROG boards, amongst others. The drawback is the cheap MSI board can not match the top end manufacturers power delivery controls and total wattage, so if you intend to overclock to the max, this board might not be as fast as is ultimately possible, but day to day it whips virtually every other board!

Had it for over a year paired with a i5 10400f but sadly completely died recently but I still stand by msi and got a z690 as a replacement with a i5 13400f

After watching a lot of reviews of various motherboards the MSI came out as running coolest when under load and had good vrm, my pervious mother board was gigabyte and was happy with that (i5 6600k)i also wanted motherboard capable of taking 11th gen cpu and again the MSI came out with best results (for the money) its a no frills motherboard no rgb lights but more interested in performance and value than lights ! my case has enough (phantek evo x)initially wasn't keen on bios but am getting used to it, its a heavy solid feeling board (which i like)am happy with my choice fitted 10600 cpu which is amazing and perfect match for my old GTX 1080ohthe quick start guide it comes with is waste of time thanks to it was putting on/off switch case connectors in wrong place .... soon sorted though :)

Absolutely brilliant. Very easy to install. Good packaging. Definitely recommend.
