- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016Size: uATXStyle: B150M MortarVerified PurchaseI've had this board for more than a week and it works great. I love the BIOS and the full UEFI support. All of the heatsinks make the board a little bulky in a microATX case with two water cooling radiators, but I'll make it work. The clamps for the Intel 1151 processors are awesome! It's never been so easy to put in a CPU.
I am disappointed that the board doesn't support hardware RAID. It was what I was hoping to do. It also comes with four LED backlights which I was hoping to provide a bit more light than it does. This board will kneecap a second video card in SLI or CrossFire, so I recommend getting a really awesome single card so you have room for a good WiFi card below it.
Tip: If you plan on dual booting OSs than ensure you turn off Fast Boot and MSI Fast Boot in the Bios. Also, in the windows OS under the power options. I had an issue booting EFI Windows 10 from the EFI Grub loader. It would tell me there isn't any Kernal in that partition until I disabled all three Fast Boot options.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016Size: ATXStyle: B150 PC MateVerified PurchaseWhen my wife expressed interest in a computer for running VMs, I bought an i7-6700 and placed it into an existing Mini ITX slimline build. When she mentioned wanting a single PC that could do everything for her, including gaming, it was pretty obvious that the half-width GTX 750 Ti in my slimline build wouldn't cover it, and she needed a full-build PC of her own centered around that 6700, with room for more (and more powerful) components than my slimline could provide.
The problem I kept running into with choosing a motherboard is that her CPU is an i7-6700. It's not Z170 material, but H110M boards didn't have the features I wanted or, frankly, enough power phases for me to be comfortable strapping even a non-K 6700 to them. B150 made sense as a possible chipset, and coming across this board made it a sure thing for me. No question, if you're running any Skylake CPU aside from the 6600K and 6700K, this board is a great value.
The board was a joy to build on. Plenty of clearance, plenty of expansion slots, and perhaps the easiest time I've ever had getting a motherboard to line up with the I/O backplate. There were a couple of tabs that had to be physically removed from the backplate to get everything to fit, but nothing major. The board had a bit more flex to it than I'm entirely comfortable with, but I was never concerned enough to stop and rethink things. I don't know if this was intentional on MSI's part, but the placement of the second CPU fan header was perfect for water cooling. In fact, there was enough clearance all around that the 240mm radiator earmarked for this build fit in without any blocked connections. The board also boasts an M.2 connection and more fan headers than any B150 chipset board should reasonably need, so no worries about case cooling.
The motherboard came with a CD, as all motherboards do, full of drivers and software. Definitely install the chipset drivers. The software...eh? I generally just grab any software I want right from the OEM's website. It's guaranteed to be up to date. While you're there, check and make sure your BIOS is up to date as well.
As for aesthetics, the overall brown color scheme certainly isn't the most beautiful thing I've ever laid eyes upon, but in a subdued case layout without LED RAM or over the top lighting, it works fine. I'd consider it to be utilitarian. No one's going to mistake it for a Sabertooth, but that's ok, because if you've got an $80 Sabertooth, it probably doesn't work. If bright, flashy builds are your thing, look elsewhere.
And I think that's where I'll leave this one. It's perfect for my needs, absolutely perfect, because I have a locked CPU and basically just needed a functional board that I could throw my spare parts at to make my wife a PC. Good features and a solid OEM behind it were a huge plus, and at this price point? There was just no reason not to pick up this board and give it a try. So far, it's working like a champ, and I'll definitely keep this board in mind if my slimline ITX workstation ever needs to grow up into a mid-tower.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2016I got the B150 gaming pro version of this motherboard. I've been building computers for about 5~ years now and this was my first Micro ATX build. This motherboard, I have say, I really like it so far. It boots fast, it has a nice BIOS screen, sturdy hardware, and overall, I think it's a solid motherboard for the low price (under $100). The gaming pro version also comes with a mouse that I have not tried yet, but I thought that was a nice addition.
This motherboard supports the latest LGA 1151 Skylake CPUs out of the box. I installed a i7 6770 in mine and it works fantastic, paired with a set of PNY Anarchy 2133Mhz RAM. Games like a champ, runs cool and quiet, nearly as fast, if not faster than my previous PC, which was a watercooled, overclocked full ATX AMD FX8350 system. This board also supports overclocking, although I have not attempted it and plan NOT to. But the options are there. RAM settings can also be customized. Be weary, though, this isn't a full ATX and such, has smaller heat dissipation capabilities for overclocking.
Versus the cheaper models, this version has two system fans plugs, both with 4 pin connectors. The motherboard also has tiny LEDs, including on the backside of the motherboard, which look nice in a windowed case. Overall, this is a great motherboard for the money. This has everything you will ever need to do serious gaming on a Micro ATX build. My one and only complaint; I wish the SATA connectors were all side-connectors instead of top-down. Two of them are, but four of them are not. This makes things very cramped for MIcro ATX builds.
Overall, great motherboard. Feel free to ask any me questions about building a Micro ATX PC.

~ Review Update, 6/23/2016 ~
This motherboard is still running great. I have had zero problems with it, still boots fast, and the gaming is great. I started getting back intyo music production and recently plugged several USB devices into this, including Guitar Rig 5 and a mixerboard. I've had zero problems with them with this motherboard. So it makes a good build for music producers as well. Gaming wise, I've been playing a lot of Overwatch on this build and the game runs great in 1080p maxed out with the hardware listed above. I also had a chance to try the mouse that came with this; an MSI Interceptor DS-B1 gaming mouse that came with the B150 model of this motherboard. I have to say, the mouse is REALLY good. It's got a good feel, it plays well with FPS games including CS:GO. It's also go on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Unfortunately it's a budget mouse; the DPI is capped at 1,600 and you immediately notice the difference going back to a high-end mouse. There is also no software like other higher-end mouses have, so no programming buttons, adjusting the sensitivity, polling rate, DPI, or other settings on the mouse. Still, I was mildly impressed by the mouse, it makes a good spare. I went back to my regular mouse, which is currently a Steel Series Sensei. I have owned Razer and Logitech mice's in the past.

Size: miniITXStyle: B150I Gaming Pro ACVerified PurchaseGood performance and reasonable price. Itx motherboard is very rarely introduced in indian market. This is why they are highly priced. But they are very small. Msi always a trusted brand for gaming. Adding to it has a wifi receiver on inbuilt. M2 ssd supported with xmp porfile in bios setting.After buying do one thing before installing win 10. Pls pls update the bios. This product comes with old bios. So if u not update it can stop working completely. Better update from nearby msi service centre.

5.0 out of 5 stars Es un excelente producto, no me ha decepcionado
El embalaje del producto fue bastante bueno, la placa venia perfectamente dentro de una bolsa antiestatica por lo que no tengo duda de que se trataba de un producto nuevo y en excelentes condiciones. La razón por la que elegí esta placa es por su economico precio frente a otras del mismo estilo (yo la utilizare para gaming), lo único que quizas se extrañe aqui es la imposibilidad de realizar overclocking o al menos eso dice en el manual de usuario, es una placa un poco de transición CON LAS DE GENERACIONES PASADAS: 1 puerto Ps/2 (que se usaban hace muchos años para conexion de raton o teclado y de hecho puede parecer una desventaja, pero en mi caso me sirvió pues ya contaba con un antiguo teclado y me pude evitar una nueva compra de teclado por tal motivo) y USB 2.0; Y LAS ACTUALES, pues cuenta con elementos algo nuevos como memoria GDDR5, usb 3.0, Sata expres a 6 gb/s, PCIe x 16 (para la GPU). Yo la recomiendo ampliamente como una OPCION ECONOMICA para quien quiera una PC GAMING, El que quiera algo mejor puede irse hacia las placas mas modernas con GDDR5, posibilidades de overclock, usb 3.1, etcetera, pero con el gasto que eso conlleva. Y si solo la necesitas para tareas de oficina sencillas, esta placa va mas que sobrada o puedes optar por una de menor gama a un precio módico.
