Z170a gaming m3 cpu led on install#
I did install Windows 7 via a DVD drive so you may need the tool if your installing via USB as those ports will need drivers for the install.Ĭons: The last two reviews under mine. Windows 7 install went smoothly and did NOT require the MSI Windows 7 tool as long as you set up the bios correctly. Pros: Board is packed with some good features and fills my needs as a non over-clocker. Overall Review: FAST AND STABLE with Gen 6 INTEL i5, 16 GB of GEIL EVO POTENZA 2400 DDR4 ram, 1TB hard drive, EVGA 750 watt modular PSU and an MSI R9 380 4 GB_256 bit video card. He was worthless and didnt even answer my questions half the time and his solution was to use a different computer and download the USB drivers from their website onto a USB flash drive!! WHAT? MOTHERBOARD HAS DEAD USB PORTS! IDIOT! Hung up after 20 minutes and figured it out myself.

THEN reboot again with a ps2 mouse and install the motherboard driver dvd first. After Windows 7 install it asks for a user name but no USB ports work! You have to use an old ps2 port keyboard and reboot to finish the Windows 7 install.

Need help with a problem? Do NOT call MSI support as they proved to me they are untrained and have no knowledge of this board and the problem associated with it.Ĭons: When I installed Windows 7 before I upgraded to Windows 10 I had read the MSI webside that you must go in the Bios and switch it to install windows 7 which I did. I would buy again but I would spring for a Windows 10 install. Love it so far and have no other complaints other then what I listed below.

Pros: Awesome board FULL ATX that is an impressive looking board that has embedded lights in the board with 4-4pin fan connectors and a user friendly Bios. Newegg is just purely amazing! They truly care about there customers! Contacted Newegg and it will take 2-5 days after and I will receive a new product.ĭo not let this issue change your mind about this motherboard! It happens! If you are on a budget, but still want to run games on Ultra with a lot of features and your a fan of the flat black and red LED (I AM!) Buy this board!


Talked with MSI and get me the link to RMA but I would receive a refurbished product 2 weeks after they receive my item. I have to add that after 3 weeks, it would not boot into POST. With also the GSKILL Ripjaw V Series red, makes this motherboard beautiful. Have Intel i7-6700k installed and it runs at 4.5 OC. Overall Review: If your a fan of the look of your motherboard and you like flat black with a red vein LED thing, and a awesome price, Check this motherboard out.

There is only 5 which are PWN ports but you can also use 3 pins. Has an M.2 slot (I really like this although I haven't got around to buy one but allows you to have an intergrated SSD right on your motherboard to save room for your bigger HDD.Ĭons: To me, it was a little confusing since I was so used to ASUS and obviously getting used to all the use things I can mess with. Game Boost feature ( Automatically overclocks your CPU and DDR4 to crazy speeds)Īudio Boost 3 ( Allows you to all a little more "UMPH" to your speakers) Great with my BOSE. USB 3.1 Gen 2 which allows you to boost the speeds (Having really put this to the test) I like the Killer LAN port (I do a lot of trasnfering between my inhome FTP server. But MSI BIOS are looking pretty good and easy!Įasy overclocking features in the BIOS and in Windows. Used to be a ASUS fan but a lot of my friend suggested MSI.Īmazing price for what it can do.
