MSI extended PWM heatsink and enhanced circuit design ensures even high-end CPU to run in full speed with MSI motherboards.Alas, my time has run out for this motherboard review and it is time to say my final thoughts on this subject. Firstly, I purchased this motherboard whilst on a black Friday special for 120 which included a copy of Assassins Creed Valhalla plus 17 cashback so in this instance it was incredibly good value. MSI motherboards circuitry ensure the case standoff keep out zones are pure and clean, preventing any component contact or damage to the motherboard. I've never gone for more than the minimum motherboard but in this case the value for money is exceptional.
