Review: Who's a pretty board then? - Stunning motherboard. I initially bought an ASROCK mb but without knowing that i would need to update the bios for the new Kabylake processor that i bought (I5 7500). Couldn't do anything with the ASROCK board in the end and decided to send it back. Had to spend more cash on this board but what with the Z270 chipset, the bios was already sorted ready to go, WINNING! Everythings very good looking on this motherboard and all the apps that come with it is a good touch that allows you to run your pc the way you want it. Lots of good features. And lastly the LEDS on this motherboard are epic! In my case a big LED is getting covered by a fan which sucks but the MSI LEDS and the LEDS strips running along the sides of the board really do give that gaming feel (although not a big gamer). The lights can be changed to any colour and do have some different modes to keep the LEDS in also. I have the LEDS set on rainbow (sifts through colours) and it's looks real good, all this set with an easy MSI app. Overall, great MB and hopefully it lasts.
Review: Great motherboard - i got this motherboard to replace my "Asus B250 Plus Prime" motherboard which had bitten the dust on me. the motherboard is easy to install into a case. the LED lights were a bit too much for me so i turned them off inside the MSI Gaming App. I put an i5 7500 in the motherboard along with a Corsair h100i v2 water cooler. with 16Gb of ram and a 1070ti it is a great gaming machine. would recommend to friends etc. you might want to disable the loading screen (it is just the picture on the front of the box) which is really pixelated

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who's a pretty board then?
*by T***S on 8 March 2017*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ FANTASTIC Motherboard. Odd LED Controls.
*by A***R on 22 February 2017*

This motherboard is amazing. The best one I've had, and the price is also great for most users mid-high builds. Bios was extremely easy to operate and the preset modes in the EZ mode are great. The whole setup using the motherboard was great, no problems, very durable. Manual was easy to read and understand. The customability, socket placements and everything is superb, and the motherboard itself is great-looking too. A few problems I encountered are the fact that I couldn't get the USB ports to detect my USB stick in Windows, especially seeing as I didn't have a disk drive to run the drivers. I had to connect my hard drive to another computer, put my drivers there, reconnect it back to my new rig and run the drivers from there. Could be because I'm a bad builder, but hey, I got it working at the end. Another problem is the LED colour controls, and the LEDs themselves. I wanted to put them as Orange all throughout, but for that, I had to select a colour that's more dark blood red to get bright orange, it was never consistent and I couldn't always chose the same colour. And the Effect LEDs couldn't be changed at all, so I had to turn them off to fit my build, but every time I close the MSI Gaming app, they turn back on. Other than that, if was FANTASTIC.
