Out of all Motherboards MSI simply work. Never did a build with an MSI that I would meet any issues. This MoBo is priced well (thanks to Amazon) and is a solid gaming board.

I really love this product. I've bee using it for a few weeks now and so far it's been fantastic. If you want a lot of storage options for a B460 board, then this is great for you. I love storage for games and other workstation related programs. This board has 2 m.2 slots for NVMe storage, as well as 6 sata ports for sata drives. If you use a msata m.2 drive then the 1st sata port on the board will not work. This is not an issue for me thought. In my opinion, there are plenty of fan headers on this board also, plus one of the headers works with a pump for water cooling. One thing that is really nice for a more budget board like this is that it has a front header connector for front USB-C ports as well as a header for USB 3.0 and 2 headers for USB 2.0, so you can have lots of front USB ports if you add more to the front of your case. One other really nice feature for this board is that it has 2.5Gbps LAN. For me the fast ethernet port is great because I have a NAS on my local network, and the added speed is nice for transferring large files. Overall I highly recommend this board for a mid tier gaming machine. I run an Intel Core i5-10500 and for the games I play, it is fantastic. One thing to note is that it's not worth getting an intel K chip with this board, because this board is not set up for extreme overclocking.

This board is great for a cheap game system that is resistant to time. This socket is good for not only 10th hen but the upcoming 11th gen and probably 12th as well.

Very speedy board with a lot of great features, but sound doesn't work on mine. Running full 250 wattage setting on 8, I'm seeing 4.7-4.9ghz constantly on my i9-10900 (K models are either too expensive or impossible to find right now), and running a huge Be Quiet cooler, the fan barely has to move. Wicked fast setup with a fast Nvme M.2 drive and 32GB of DDR4-3600. Pretty beefy board, limited expansion ports though, and even more limited when you have to buy a PCIe sound card like I did (haven't even gotten it yet). As much as I tried via BIOS, windows setting, drivers, utilites, all drivers show they are working, but no audio though HDMI on my TV or analog outputs. Only output I haven't tried is the digital optical, and I wasn't going to buy special speakers to have that fail too. Only way I can get sound out of this thing is to run a bluetooth speaker from a dongle until the new card arrives. I don't game, but rendering 3D models for 3D printing, photo, video editing, and sign software flies on this rig. It actually takes 10X longer to transfer the files to USB 3.1 flash drives than it does to rip/slice the files in the first place. Nice features, great price.....but fix the audio and add another PCIe slot (why only one?), and it would be great.Update: Upgraded to 4 starsAfter the full suite of windows updates, sound now works as it should on the board.
