I just assembled another apparatus and utilized this mother board. Since it actually doesn't have any audits to tell you what you're getting into here you go.
Practically the Edge AC is equivalent to the Pro Carbon AC. It doesn't have the warmth sink over the lower M.2 or as much RGB, however all that else is actually the equivalent. The board runs quite well and cool. I have been pressure trying the computer chip without an overclock and watching out for the segment temps. With great wind current no segment got more than 50 C with the main exemption being the CPU obviously. The BIOS bodes well and is anything but difficult to explore in one or the other mode. You don't need for headers and ports, all things considered. At the highest point of the RAM openings White LEDs let you know whether your RAM is perceived, and a Red LED just to one side of those tells you initially on the off chance that you have XMP dynamic. There is a slight measure of RGB on the correct Edge of the board, yet it's so repressed you don't see except if you're searching for it. The construct nature of the board is excellent and it should keep going as long as you need it to. This is an extraordinary motherboard and I will be beginning overclock testing soon and will refresh this survey on the off chance that I discover anything new to report.
To finish up, purchase this board in the event that you couldn't care less about blaze and simply need all the preformance and capacity of the Pro Carbon at $30 - $40 less cost.

The problems I have with this one is maybe MSI itself, their RGB is weird as it doesn't easily recognize RAM.
The antennas are pretty loose and I'm not sure how I would go on about tightening the attachment in the rear IO. Bluetooth drivers have been giving me a headache.
