Pros:
Easy install
Nice, subtle RGB
Two M.2 slots (of which I used both)
Lots of fan headers for all my fans in my Lian-Li O11 dynamic case
UFEI interface is great and easy to use
Overclocks my Intel i7- 9700k easy to 4.7 ~5.0ghz
Great BIOS flash feature
Cons:
The pre installed i/o shield is nice, but it did not really "slot" into the i/o shield slot on my O11 dynamic
I am not a fan on the white LED's that light up where the ram sticks are slotted (maybe that's just nitpicky)
Overall this board looks great, functions great and runs all my stuff perfectly! I would reccomend this board to someone looking for a board with a i7-9700k!

Toughram 16gb at 3200 worked flawlessly; all I had to do was turn on XMP on main Bios screen (one button). The Bios screens are easy to follow. Have 2 2TB Samsung Pro SSDs, MSI 2060 Super X GPU, 3 RGB fans, Corsair AX 1000 PSU
Because I have a board made in May, the Driver/Utility disk was a bit out of date so went to MSI website to get latest version of Dragon Center etc so Mystic Lights would recognize my MSI GPU. Also the Lan did not work until I loaded the Driver from the disk. The main GPU slot has "steel Armor" which I value since I use a very heavy GPU. RAM slots are also "steel Armor"
There are so many fan headers. Had a couple of front panel cables which were just long enough to connect to their headers on the board (may be more about the case than the board). I spent more time getting the RGB lights functional than any hardware item. I put the board into a Cooler Master H500P Mesh so the Pro Carbon and gunmetal case really looks sharp together.

Quality is good. . Connectors and shield better than average bear. Ethernet with cable not wireless. (Why? because it has a stable signal compared to wireless. Also harder to hack. So if your wanting to game go for a high speed, hard contact Ethernet
Layout is nice fan connectors in 4 areas for better management. USB and front case connector right on that side or right bottom. Great. Has a designated pump fan connection on right side. +
PCI slots are the hold down need adaption for those with shorter fingers. lol
I found with how close 1st PCI slot too close for heat thrown by GPU card. Other slot in my case doesn't allow enough air flow. I recommend if you run into this that MSI has an adapter place GPU (video card} sideways.
The config is wonderful. MSI puts out videos on how the set up and config.
Software come on a disk. I love the monitoring app. But comes with more. The app makes updating easy.
The RBG is everything I could want. customize colors speed patterns and brightness. You can shut the RGB off too. Software for it is easy to use.
I am very pleased with this MB. Yes I would recommend. Cost and what I got 4 that cost.
Unless you need the best of the best. You know who you are lol.
Some of my specs if you care:
Case: Fractal Meshify C
CPU: Intel i7-9700K
GPU: MSI GTX 1080 ARMOR 8G OC
