MSI Z370 SLI PLUS Pro Series Intel Coffee Lake LGA 1151 VR Ready 64GB DDR4 SLI ATX Motherboard

this motherboard isn't that bad for the price. i still wouldn't recommend it for a none K cpu. the motherboard has worked as intended but its kinda lacking when it comes to features but what can i say; intel sucks for being overpriced. i think we can all agree on that but lets get back to the motherboard. the mobo has plenty of fan headers, 2 PCI-E X16 slots (sadly the second one only runs at 4x so you'll loose about 10 or so fps depending on the game), 6 sata ports, decent motherboard cooling. the motherboard VRMs do not too protrude to much, to where i can't fit certain coolers like in the past (in my own experience). the motherboard makes my whole life a bit easier with easy ram overclocking; ram actually does make a difference. i've gained 10-20 fps in my games when i overclocked my ram. if you have a better budget of $140 on a motherboard and don't have a K cpu than get this one unless you want to wait for the motherboards with no overclocking. if you can spend more than do it if you have a K cpu. i would recommend you spend more on your motherboard to get a more amount of features and get a better vrm phase design because more vrms can help with voltage and that can end with the consumer running at cooler temps with otherclocking

When it was time to replace my old P67 Gigabyte build with a new 8th gen coffee lake build, I chose the MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. Having used Asus and Gigabyte boards in the past, I decided to give MSI a try this time based on motherboard specs, features and reviews. I spent a considerable amount of time comparing similar motherboard offerings and this one came out as the clear winner and having completed the build, all the time spent researching parts certainly paid off. I particularly like the UEFI BIOS and how easy it is to configure things like memory XMP profiles, overclocking, Windows 10 WHQL mode, fast boot, and much more. The board layout was a pleasure to work with and everything seems well thought out. I did a quick bit of overclocking on the Core i7 8700K and easily hit 5.0 GHz. I have yet to really dig in with all the OC settings, but I'm sure this board can handle it without breaking a sweat. Finally, the MysticLight RGB lights and software are pretty good and adds a nice, customizable touch of color to the case interior. The software can be a bit temperamental, but it has quite a few options to suit whatever color scheme you're going with in your build. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my choice and I'll be definitely using MSI motherboards and peripherals over Asus and Gigabyte in the future. Happy building!

I purchase this motherboard in conjunction with an Intel BX80684I78700 8th Gen Core i7-8700 Processor and a Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz (PC4-25600) C16 Memory Kit to replace my ten year old computer that crashed for good. Frankly I was a bit intimidated by the apparent complexity of assembling this new system, but to my surprise, it was easy and straight forward. This new system running SSD drives is lighting fast and perfect for my needs. Inexpensive, yet technologically advanced, it was easy to install and fired up immediately and flawlessly. BIOS and other updates as well as all motherboard functions are easily accessible through an intuitive and efficient menu system. After five months of operation I have only praises for this unit.

This motherboard would be great for anything but it has a great BIOS interface for overclocking. I am able to bump my i5 processor up to 4.6ghz with a could button presses. It allows you to save the overclock setting profiles. The install was easy and it fit great in my ATX tower. The only problem that worried me was after I got the CPU, memory and SSD installed. I went to put in the geforce 1050ti and it will only fit in the top PCI slot. Which is the spot they recommend. I forget why but it has some special feature. Anyways, the second pci slot is the last slot on the motherboard and at the bottom. If I wanted to run SLI I wouldn't be able to because the graphics card is to big and won't fit in that bottom pci number 2 slot. The cases USB cable going into the motherboard gets in the way. Maybe if you have a different case it may. Anyways, great motherboard. No problems on install. They did provide a lot of screws and when counted it was short 3. I only needed like 6 to put the motherboard in.

Great motherboard with rgb lights

Great board for those on a budget. Built my system with an i3 8100 and a GTX 1060 6gb. Encountered no issues, both with the board and with its BIOS.

Mother board works well, and has a lot of settings to play with for over clocking. It also has a handy recovery functionality where if you go too far with your overclock, it doesn't lose your settings. The on board raid works well, although indont like that the raid utility is loaded independent of the uefi, but this isn't a deal breaker. With lots of usb, data and pci slots, it's hard to go wrong. It has 2 m.2 slots, and supports dual video cards. I have been using it for about 2 years now, and have no regrets.

worked well right out of the box with little to no tweaking. audio that comes out of this board is pretty good too
