The MSI Z77A-G41 is a motherboard designed for use with Micro ATX PC systems. Built around the Intel Z77 Express chipset and featuring the LGA 1155 (Socket H2) processor socket, the mainboard works with certain Intel CPUs such as Core i5, Core i3, Core i7, and Celeron. It supports up to 32 GB DDR3 SDRAM. Furthermore, the model features six SATA ports and comes with a 7.1-channel Realtek ALC887 sound processor.
This board has many features and can still be used to build a nice budget PC. Nicely featured board with the Z77 chipset which allows for (2) SATA 6GB/s ports. Has onboard USB 3.0 and UEFI.
I own two of these boards and find that they work as expected. One must be extremely careful not to bend the cpu pins on the board when inserting the cpu, but that is true of all socket 1155 boards. Otherwise, this is a good modestly priced motherboard. Actually, this version is out of production, but still available from the after-market.
