Pros: High quality components, excellent layout, zero problems with setup or stability. Fan headers are 2 amps/pump 3 amps (vs some other brands only 1amp) The audio while gaming is static free and excellent. 2 dimm board allowed ocing DDR5 to 6000+C32 1T easy (need samsung/gskill or hynix ddr5) 3rd pcie slot for intel nvme optane and still allows gpu 16x. Plenty of M2 slots
Cons: Nothing so far. Trying MSI Unify-x after Asus Hero z690 was recalled. If my experience with MSI board holds up over time, my next motherboard in future will be MSI again. *Note, I consider 2 dimm board for ocing mem slightly higher a pro, but if want 4 dimm mobo then you would want unify (4 dimm), not unify-x (2-dimm)
Overall Review: Excellent board, very happy with purchase and zero problems with setup or bios despite being early in new process. As always, make sure you can get DDR5 before buying DDR5 mobo
