SHOULD YOU BUY MSI PRO B660M-E MOTHERBOARD
PROS
- Comes with Frozr AI Cooling
- Good Motherboard for a budget build
- Provides XMP profile to over clock RAM’s to 4600+ MHz Speeds
CONS
- Only 2 DDR4 RAM Slots
- Faced a issue where we needed to install the 12th Gen Processor first to boot and flash bios, after that only we were able to install the 13th Gen Processor.
- The board is really small and while installing the processor fans we were a bit worried it might break but didn’t
- No ARGB headers and only 1 fan header
