Customers say

Customers like the quality, performance, value, and features of the motherboard. For example, they mention it's a good springboard motherboard to get you into the x99 platform, has great features, and works well. That said, some dislike the space and have mixed opinions on the USB ports.

Customers like the quality of the motherboard. They say it's a decent board, a good value for the x99 build, and a great reviewed entry level motherboard to handle DDR4. The backplate seems pretty good, so heavy coolers shouldn't warp the board. It's fast and solid, and runs stably with a 5820K proc and 16GB.

Customers like the performance of the motherboard. They say it works well, has great features, and has no issues. Some say the SLI setup works well with two GTX 580s, and the boost works well. The board seems stable overall, and it has had no problems with 5820k. The CLICK UEFI bios works well and the six drive raid 5 works.

Customers are dissatisfied with the space provided by the motherboard. They mention that the PCIe slots are rather close, the PCIE X16 slots are not spaced far enough apart, and the PCi lanes are spaced terribly to allow for m.2 port.

Bang for the buck
Great price for it and does everything its supposed to. On current bios was able to overclock my i7-5820k to 4.2ghz and delivers the power across the board easily while charging lots of battery powered devices using MSI Super Charger. The first thing you do when you buy this board is to update the bios from the official site after you see Linux or Windows load and install the necessary drivers.

I did tons reviews are motherboards to get a new system that could handle ddr4 and Intel i7 5820 k CPU and I decided this motherboard was the best bang for my buck. All the sites I kept reviewing kept suggesting this motherboard as a great entry level motherboard because of its price, it's features and overall usability. Now this is my first MSI motherboard and I am pleasantly surprised with how well it works, the updating software is somewhat buggy and hopefully MSI is working to correct that. I also bought an M.2 to go with this as my new SSD option and it works very well and I'm glad I did it as it was cheaper than getting a normal SSD of equal size but works just as well if not better. The software MSI includes for benchmarking and overclocking and monitoring your motherboard is very well and I feel other users who like those tools would utilize them. If this product continues to do so well I will look at buying a board again from MSI in the future. For the last 10 years I have exclusively used ASRock or ASUS motherboards but at this time I didn't feel their equivalent priced boards were worth as much. The board has all the features I could need and expandability. Sure there is an unnamed very expensive ASUS board that I wanted but couldn't justify the price but this board here works great and I'm not disappointed with my choice. I use my system for tons of things, video decoding, conversion of large audio and video files and high end gaming. I am getting my money's worth.Would buy again!

The motherboard, DOA, whilst at the time unbeknownst to me, has been a nightmare. I'll give a little background, I have excellent technical skills. I'm an electrical engineer who has designed his own video card and even GPU. I bought this motherboard after great consideration, Mainly because of the improved m.2 that goes straight to pci express 3.0x4. I realise now that was the worst mistake of my life. I purchased more than $4,000 worth of parts for a full blown gaming computer(previous builds were workstations). I also needed to get these parts by a certain time(my brother was coming home from a 2 year long mission) It would be the first time I've seen him in 3 years, needless to say I wanted him to be able to play with me. So i shelled out over $500 in overnight shipping fees between amazon and other websites I purchased parts from. So, what can I say now? Screw the RMA process. It cost me more than this motherboard ever was worth. It also cost MSI my money. They will never see another dime of my money or anyone I ever come into contact with.

Now, for the technical details. I am (supposed to be) running:
MSI X99S SLI PLUS motherboard
Intel 5960X CPU
64GB of 2400 ddr4 ram(8*8GB sticks) ADATA AX4U2400W8G16
512GB Samsung Solid State M.2 PCIE 2.0x4
2 x r9 290x Vapour 8GB video cards
1200 Watt 80 Platinum Plus PSU

I press the power button, get a completely black screen, the fans are running, but it doesn't seem to post. (i don't have a speaker in the case to verify, and it doesn't post through the front audio port). I've taken out all but one or two or four sticks of ram, removed one video card. Swapped video cards. Removed all video cards. Removed all ram. Changed power cables. Swapped power ports. Tried other PCI-E Slots. Removed CPU FAN, Removed m.2 drive. unhooked power cables, nothing will make the system behave in any way different than a black screen which says no input detected on my monitor(tried it on 3 different monitors using Dvi, hdmi, and display port). I've also tried switching the easy oc switch on, I've tried clearing the cmos, i've tried the other BIOS that's supposed to be on it. I never get to BIOS, Do not pass go and do not collect $200. Now, After removing the CPU to inspect the socket for damage I do notice a few bent pins, now I've done hundreds of PC builds, so I know that it wasn't I who bent the pins.

I tried calling MSI, but "their hours are between 9 and 6..." I needed it that night. Now the opportunity has passed and so it has on a once great company MSI.

I will be buying a quality ASUS now.

TL;DR Cost me >$600(why pay $500 for shipping when you can get it for free and have it working in the same time frame) Useless piece of MSI Crap.

I guess I just got this motherboard for lack of any better alternatives. It's not great. Long POST time, and it came partially defective on arrival: I discovered about a year after initial assembly that four of the eight RAM channels weren't functional, and any RAM in any of those four would just cause the system to hang on startup. (Yes, the RAM sticks were rotated and tested elsewhere. They're currently doing a beautiful job in a friend's fully-functional 8-channel motherboard.)

I figured it was easier to switch to bigger sticks than install a new motherboard, and now it's working well enough, but MSI definitely let me down with this. Would not recommend if any other options were available.

It might be okay, you might get a fully-functional motherboard, but why risk it?

Value-wise this is a great board. It's probably still the cheapest x99 solution on the market right now. But I popped it in and wired everything up thinking I could get away with a cheap board, but alas the overclocking options were not great, it did not OC particularly well with manual or auto, and the deal breaker was when it refused to detect my pci m.2 drive despite its claims of compatibility with the new tech. I tried a different m2 drive, updated bios, played with settings and nothing. So I switched to the Asus x99-a and it was smooth sailing. Still a budget PC builder will probably find a lot to like here.

As of right now it's working great with my 5820k. Wasn't DOA, still not cheap for a motherboard. However you get what you pay for. If you have a DAC/AMP then this would probably be the board to get. Most of the other ones only seem to offer upgraded sound, WIFI, and more nonsense for $150~200 more unfortunately. The BIOS is alright, I prefer ASUS's, I think their's is the best personally. I have to say though I was coming from always buying ASUS to MSI. So far so good. Only time will tell I guess.

If you're looking for a bare minimum board for your 5820k, this would be it. I would have gotten the ASROCK OC Formula x99 however I couldn't justify the price at $430~ being almost double the price..
