What’s the purpose of the thermistor? Is it just a tc to show the temp at whatever area you leave the sensor end? Where is the temp displayed?
Yeah, it's exactly this. I've used one in the last couple of builds and had it somewhat half way between the top of the case and the GPU card, then used that in case fan profiles. Temp is not shown until a cable is connected, and is not not always listed in desktop utilities, but almost always available as a sensor for fan profiles.

Short update, last parts arrived yesterday, got it powered up, BIOS updated, Windows install, Connect3 installed and setup, so far it works great, far better than anything Corsair, my system was a combo of iCue (which was terrible) and Argus monitor (which was not bad) min MB drivers etc, no GPU yet until I'm ready to switch to the new system.
Are you folks installing MSI centre? Does that control the MB RGB and RAM RGB, I prefer to keep software to a min and only install what I need.
Anything other must have drivers and software before I move onto installing the 2nd M2 into M2_2 and then getting Steam on etc?
I will set RAM to EXPO tonight, I also opened a defect enquiry with the vendor I bought from, and a ticket with MSI, to see if I can get a new M2 cover shipped due to the defect graphic.
Cheers

Hey,
So MSI Centre is required to install Mystic Light, which controls the motherboard RGB, it may control you RAM also, The only nice thing about MSI Centre is you can tell it not to run on startup.
Once you've got your RGB how you want it motherboard wise you dont need to load it again, handy to keep installed though in case you want to make any changes.

Cool, will install it, forgot to say, my 4080 is from MSI so will need it for the RGB setup for that, and like you say, set up then tell it not to start at startup, cheers.
Regretting going with this motherboard right now. I’ve finally put the CPU, memory, m.2 in and it’s not even reaching bios.
When I press the power button the ram lights up and all the fans start spinning, but the debug led jumps through various numbers before the motherboard just turns everything off.
The debug led error code usually shows 15 before it turns off, which in the manual is “Pre-memory system initialisation”, what are the chances both ram modules (which are on the QVL) are faulty?

Sounds good, get the bios updated before it breaks again!
