- + ОТличная мать
- - Нет
- + Отличная материнка - урвал за 10+тр.
С удовольствием скушала проц i7 11700k + память g.skill-3600...
- + Брал с хорошей скидкой (вышла 9к), после сборки завелась мгновенно, проблем с подключением не было!
- + Всё в целом неплохо
- - Погнут один из разъёмов, я им не пользуюсь но не очень приятно.
- + В целом все отлично. Хороший питальник, память на xmp профиле завелась за нажатие, пока не гнал, но планирую в будущем. Понятный и удобный биос, все нужные разъемы для подключений, куча пинов под вертушки, в целом тут есть все то, что нужно среднему юзеру
- - Цена, конечно, высоковата. Стоит почти...
- + 1) Отличная плата на z490 чипсете по соотношению цена = качество
2) Поддержка 8 ядерных процов в разгоне
3) Поддержка памяти DDR4 с частотой до 4800МГц (в режиме разгона)

Sorry you can't see much in the picture due to my obnoxious cooler.
PC Build:
CPU: i7-10700k
CPUC: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax
MOBO: MSI Z490-A PRO
RAM: 32GB (4x8GB) HyperX Fury DDR4 3200
GFX: MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X
PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750w
DRIVES: 250GB Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2, 1TB Seagate SSHD, 2TB Samsung 860 Evo SSD, 4TB WD Black HDD

I did find that the CPU power cables are difficult to plug in if the CPU cooler is in place.
I would have liked one more USB 2.0 header, but I was able to set it up with 4 front-panel USB ports. I'm not using the more modern (3.2) USB connector yet, so that gives me some room to expand in the future.
I could have used a bit more space for the Power LED connector - the one for my old case takes the room for 3 pins, but this motherboard only provides space for 2 pins. A trip to my junk box and a few minutes with the soldering iron resulted in a cable that is working well. A newer case probably wouldn't have this issue.
My biggest issue isn't MSI's fault - I wanted to use a motherboard video port for one monitor - I found in MSI's FAQ that the current Intel chipset doesn't permit the use of both a video card (or cards) and the use of the on-board video. I wish this was something I had seen in the Amazon description ...
My current setup uses 2 MSI video cards, plus a USB adapter for my 3rd monitor. I can probably drive that monitor from another port on one of the video cards - I just need a few minutes to reconfigure things (again!).
Overall, I'm glad I got this motherboard - it keeps things so cool that my fans are barely running, so the system is very quiet. Installation of Win-10 Pro was easy, as was the installation of MSI's drivers and utilities. I still need to copy over a bunch of software & data from my old system to the M.2 SSD, but it is up and running through my employer's VPN and I have an Internet radio station playing in the background. A very good motherboard for me.

I was looking to upgrade my 8 year old MSI motherboard to a 10th gen board. That board was solid for me, so I decided to stick with MSI, rather than Gigabyte. (Plus, the Gigabyte 10th gen boards were more expensive.)
While I'm not a hard-core gamer, I do plan on playing games with this PC. As I don't really care about RGB on the board, I opt'd out of the Gaming Plus board for this cheaper Pro model. From what I can tell RGB is the only notable difference in the two.
Edit - 8/8/20: The ALC1220 audio codec on the Gaming Plus board is supposedly better than the ALC892 on this Pro board. The Gaming Plus board also has an S/PDIF audio connector.
As the MSI web site says, this is a well-constructed board. I could tell just by taking it out of the box.
Installing a board is installing a board - pretty straightforward, if you've done it before. The user guide is pretty decent for being a foreign-based company - i.e. English instructions are pretty good. Plus, there is a lot of good detail in the manual.
One thing they could improve on in the install instructions is providing clarity on CPU power. Instructions imply you need the 8 pin and 4 pin power connectors, but you only need the 8 pin, unless you are going to do some very serious CPU overclocking. (multiple articles on the internet on this)
I'm using an NVME card as my primary storage. Installing that under the FROZR shield was a piece of cake, especially since multiple m.2 screws are included. When the board booted, it had no problems with the NVME card or any other component for that matter; the board just booted up fine.
Something I find slightly odd... when booting up, the logo displays, but the options to boot into BIOS or Boot Manager only blip on the screen for .5 seconds. I'm not sure if this is because I have a fast NVME drive and CPU, or if its a flaw in the design of the board.
I installed Windows 10 (2004) on this PC. I seem to be having some issues with the onboard Realtek audio drivers. When I try to install the latest from the MSI site, they don't seem to stick - the Microsoft drivers stay there. I called MSI tech support and they couldn't really figure it out. So, I'm hoping either Microsoft or MSI comes out with a patch for this.
I personally think Dragon Center is a bloated piece of software. It installs multiple components that do not apply to me - e.g. mystic lighting. Also, the "scenarios" feature I found to be harmful, in that as soon as you click on a scenario, it changes your BIOS settings (e.g. memory speed). On the surface, that sounds like a good idea. However, the scenarios customization does not allow you to customize key aspects (like memory speed). You have to go back into BIOS. It turns out Live Update is all I really needed, so I uninstalled Dragon Center and downloaded Live Update from the MSI web site. (It is not on the install disk included with the motherboard.)
Everything considered, this appears to be another solid board from MSI at a decent price-point.
Update (8/7/20): While the initial install of the Realtek drivers did not work well (install package kept reinstalling), I did eventually get it to work by cancelling out of the reinstall. Part of the issue was that I originally got a bad tech support person at MSI. His immediate and only advice was to reinstall Windows, which I had just installed. He didn't bother to understand the issue. When I later got someone who knew better, he clarified that only the "Sound, video and game controllers" device shows an updated driver. The devices under "Audio inputs and outputs" still show an older Microsoft driver. This is how it is supposed to work according to MSI. Audio is working fine, which leads me to a point... I'm not clear what the "Audio Boost" feature does. The sound from this board is no different than what I got from my 8 year old MSI board.
BTW - Both times I called MSI tech support I waited less than 5 minutes and both techs were clearly English-speaking - likely in the US like me.
