The last time I sent motherboards back were when Intel messed up the 820 chipset with RD ram. I believe they have a gigabyte board that they will exchange with me. I am going to drive back this MSI and exchange it for a working DDR 5 motherboard that PCIE 3.0 cards work on. So, I sold that 2nd board, and ordered that ddr 5 version.

Soo, in the end my return did not get returned to the right place and I am now out that board for costs. He picked a fight with the staff at the store, used all kinds of swear words, and then I believe started switching the labels on the boxes he was delivering. Soo, the jerk driver that came to pick it up was being let go that day. Purolator fired anyone who did not have their vaxxine shots. I live in canada, we have a courier called Purolator.

Swapped it out and the new one was exactly the same. ( this was the edge ddr 4 board ) So I ordered another one before sending it back. I opened a ticket with MSI, and spoke with their tech person. Two different motherboards, two different OS, two different PS, Two different kinds of ram ( ddr4 and ddr5 ) No overclocking. But cant be seen in any of the other slots. The PCIE rev3.0 4x cards are asmedia 3142 dual USB 3.1 cards last one being a startech PEXUSB312C3 and two others one being PCIE 3.0 2x slot and the other PCIE 3.0 4x slot two with sata power connected, tried in all 3 PCIE 1x16x and both 8x slots ( no video card, using onboard )Īlso I have a Intel wifi 6 ax200 pcie 1 card.
