Hello!!

I want to know how many of you are using your MSI LGA 1151 Motherboards for over 4 years and almost 4 years. If you are using them for that long, then please say 'Yes and __ years; __months. And what model?

Also, anybody's MSI LGA 1151 died on them within 3 years or after 3 years??? And what model?
Please respond as well.

It will help me in making a purchasing decision.

Thanks in Advance :)

Well, I want to give my .02 on my MSi Motherboard experience, although it was on the AM3+ socket.

990FXA-GD80 - 3 months
990FXA-Gaming - 1 month
990FXA-Gaming - 1 month

All of the components were compatible, and they failed for no reason. These were brand new boards except for the first, and I had to spend 20£ on RMA to get the boards replaced.

I've since switched to a Biostar and it has worked flawlessly.

Well LGA1151 hasnt been out for 3 years, so you really cant ask.

Previously MSI has been known to have low QC on their motherboards, for this reason I usually dont recommend them.
Recently they have gotten better, but I would still pick an ASUS or Gigabyte board first, ASRock second.
