People, if you want a great gaming mobo that can survive on your doorstep for 3 hours, offers plenty of customizability features, and a big, brown box for under 100 bucks, BUY THIS WITH CONFIDENCE! The worst that can happen is that you end up with a defective mobo that is protected by a warranty from Amazon and an additional year from MSI. Just buy it bro.
P.S. sorry for the lack of pictures. Im too lazy to take any pictures right now. Just imagine a beautiful brown box sitting on your welcome mat, waiting to be opened to reveal the gaming treasures that lie deep within that will provide you with hours and hours and hours of satisfaction turning your PC on and off, because that dragon logo just looks even better with each reboot.

Plus if your looking for a budget system and want half decent sound, then this board's on board sound is really very good, although I already had a creative x-fi titanium card which I salvaged from the old build :) but if your looking to same money by not needing to spend out on a sound card upgrade then this is really nice feature. Plus paired with a brand new fx6300 cpu it only cost £139 in total and for that price is the ultimate budget solution, sure a ryzen 5 is a lot faster, but if like me you just need a dependable work horse and don't need to go overboard on price, this is a brilliant board and amd fx although old still gives great value :) thankyou msi and amd for offering a solution for those of us without too much money to spare :)
Compared to the counter parts it has more power phases to power a Fx8120@4.2GHZ on all 8 cores.(stock speed is at 3.2 GHz).
So a total gain of 1Ghz on all cores, which is bang for buck considering all the latest features this Mobo offers.
And of-course it perfectly matches my build with that fiery Red color.
MSI Dragon Roars :D
Coming to the Bios and features
You can tweak both voltages and frequencies of processor which most counterparts doesn't offer in this price Range.
The same goes in the case of memory too, you can easily overclock 1866Mhz memory to 2133Mhz which gives amazing overclock value.
Other Features:
It offer 2 x usb3.0 connector for front panel and 2 x usb3.0 at the back, No usb3.1 but i am very much satisfied with the Usb3.0 speeds
the Killer 2200 LAN is awesome and its offers super internet speeds when connected to a high speed LAN network from ISP.
Isolated audio PCB with high quality Creative sound blaster Audio
Overclock genie works like a charm and can overclock your processor to a medium overclock for best performance if you are a novice at overclocking.
It automatic overclock is so awesome that you need to simply enable this switch and enjoy boosted performance.
Well its crossfire certified (if you have a good PSU like mine 850W, you can easily crossfire two AMD cards at ease with this Dragon Mobo)
Fast boot mode( yes boot into windows quick like a rocket)
Whats Missing:
We cant expect all latest tech of course, as it made with extreme love towards gaming. it doesn't have USB 3.1 and M2 but believe me if your plan is a budget build with slight room for overclocking then blindly get this. You wont regret and its completely awesome and is power packed with all the features need for a gaming mobo at this price range.
The complete Mobo is made up of high quality Japanese capacitors as i have read in most reviews. It is made up of premium quality heat sinks on a black PCB with Red/black theme.
MSI Rocks in every aspect and had taken extreme gamer's aesthetics into consideration when creating this motherboard

Quanto alla scheda, per averla pagata solo poco meno di 90€ devo ritenermi molto soddisfatto, soprattutto se si considera che attualmente sostituisce la mia vecchia e (odiata) asrock 970 extreme 3 r2.0
qui i pro e i contro
* PRO *
- molto bella esteticamente, una combinazione di rosso e nero che fa sfoggiare lo stemma MSI in basso a destra e i due dissipatori nella zone della CPU
- vasta dotazione di porte: 10 USB 2.0/3.0, 1 PS/2, 1 ethernet, 1 SATA, ingressi e uscite audio placcate in oro
- bios molto intuitivo e aggiornato all'ultima versione di fabbrica
- possibilità di overclock
- dvd driver completo + cavo per crossfire/sli + gadget simpatici (un cartellino da mettere alla porta e lo stemma msn da appiccicare al fronte del case
- placca per le porte con strato morbido, molto apprezzato
- L'AUDIO (scheda audio integrata con supporto creative cinema e con amplificatore integrato)
- rapporto qualità prezzo
* CONTRO *
- il dvd dei driver (su windows 10 non vuole partire e costringe a scaricare i driver dal sito - no problem per windows 7
- aggancio della PCI-E problematico (non è una specie di leva che blocca la scheda ma un pezzetto di plastica flessibile - magari è un problema mio che ci ho messo un po' a capire come installare la scheda senza spaccare tutto ahaha)
- un solo attacco per la CPU FAN (per il dissipatore, intendiamoci) il che costringe, a meno che non vogliate usare una ventola sola sul dissipatore oppure un raffreddamento a liquido, a comprare uno sdoppiatore a Y per collegare due ventole su una porta sola
quindi, la consiglierei? beh, certo che si, soprattutto per quel prezzo! ;)
Diese Entscheidung hatte ich vorläufig bereut:
Die FPS in Spielen waren trotz starker Grafikkarte nicht so gut, wie erhofft, was an meinem Prozessor lag, der einen Flaschenhals darstellte.
Die Überlegung war nun, entweder das System mit allen möglichen Mitteln zu verbessern, oder auf Intel umzusteigen ( was nach nur 2 Monaten zu schade wäre).
Ich habe mich für ein Upgrade entschieden: ein neues Mainboard, was mehr als 8GB RAM akzeptiert (gegenüber meines letzteren) und gekühlte Spannungswandler besitzt und dazu ein 16GB RAM Kit.
Mein jetziges System besteht aus:
FX 8320e @ 4.6Ghz
MSI Gaming 970 Mainboard
16GB G.Skill Ares 1600 RAM
GTX 1060 6GB
Tatsächlich scheint bei AMD RAM eine größere Rolle zu spielen, als ich dachte.
Für subjektive Benchmarks habe ich Fraps beim Spielen nebenher laufen lassen:
- Battlefield Hardline ~80 - 130FPS statt vorher 50-80
- GTA 5 ~ 60 - 100 FPS statt vorher 45-70
- The Witcher 3: ~55-90FPS statt vorher 45-80
Alles in allem bildet dieses Mainboard die Grundlage hierfür und ich bin vollends zufrieden!
Außerdem sieht es sehr cool aus (rot/schwarz) und scheint reicht stabil.
Gut zu wissen: trotz großem CPU Kühler hat dieser die RAM Steckplätze nicht beeinträchtigt. Anschlüsse sind auch massig vorhanden und die I/O Blende wirkt sehr edel! Allgemein hat MSI dort viel zusammengepackt: Mainboard,Blende, User Guide, QuickStart Guide, Treiber CD (unter Windows 10 Problemlos installiert), Sticker für die Kabelbeschriftung, ein MSI Türschild sowie ein MSI Logo "Pin" zum aufkleben am PC.
5/5
Nachtrag 3.10.2016:
Ich habe nun den Treiber für das Creative Sound Cinema 2 (die spezielle Audio-Lösung auf diesem MSI Board) von der MSI Website heruntergeladen und installiert und nutze nun dieses zur Soundausgabe (einfach 3,5mm Klinkenstecker vom Lautsprecher in den rot gekennzeichneten Audioausgangs-Port stecken). Es gibt vielmehr Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten und schon vorgefertigte Presets zu Musik, Film, Gaming, Sprache, als bei dem standard Realtek Treiber von der MSI Treiber-DVD. Und vor allem: der Sound wird um längen verbessert. Würde meine Bewertung am liebsten nochmal um einen Stern erhöhen, aber 6/5 geht leider nicht.
Great price for a great motherboard. The only con I found so far is it runs a bit hot sometimes.
