I wish the board supported higher speeds than DDR4-2133. * MSI should do a better job of making sure CMOS is cleared and the Optimal Defaults are loaded at the factory before shipment unless it was a return but it doesn't seem like they were. * Neither board was a big deal to fix but either scenario might scare off people with no CMOS/BIOS experience. Enter the BIOS and set it to Optimal Defaults (menu option on far right) * The second board would POST but needed the Optimal Defaults loaded to get past the BIOS. Enter the BIOS and set it to Optimal Defaults. I always leave it on for 30+ seconds, just in case. Put a jumper on the appropriate 2-pin header with the power unplugged for at least 10 seconds. It seems MSI upgrades the BIOS at the factory but my boards (ordered 2) needed their CMOS' cleared or defaults loaded to work. * Some people might have trouble getting the board to work initially. However, I couldn't remember what my client's monitor had so I wanted all 3, just in case. HDMI, especially HDMI 2.0 gives you everything you need and universal adoption. I don't know why they thought that was a great idea to implement. They either have HDMI only or DVI and VGA with no HDMI or HDMI and VGA. * Finally, the H110M Gaming motherboards comes with all 3 major display ports: HDMI, DVI and VGA. * The Intel network also seems great so far. This makes it possible to have 3 add-on cards instead of 2 on most boards around this price. * In addition, this board (MSI H110M Gaming) has extra spacing between the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot and the next one down. Plus, it had 2 USB 2.0 headers along with the usual USB 3.0 header. This one has 3 fan headers (CPU + 2 system fans). * Most LGA 1151 boards in this price range only provide 1-2 fan headers and 1 USB 2.0 header. ![]() * Was able to get a 6th and 7th generation CPU to work with it out of the box (Note on that later). This motherboard had everything I was looking for my client build: To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.
