Wow, what a board! I’ve been eyeing this MSI motherboard for ages. It looks stunning and so cheap too. I think I’ll have to buy this come Black Friday!
I have S version of that board, the only difference is that this one has additional USB 3.1 controller. This board gave me a lot of problems to boot with G.Skill 8GB RAM sticks. It booted only with one stick and what was more frustrating it could boot only from the second BIOS. After I did BIOS update all started booting fine with all slots occupied.
