MSI Intel Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON 7th/6th Gen USB2 Motherboard - Black (Intel Core i3/i5/i7 Processor, LGA 1151, Dual Channel DDR4, USB 3.1, PCI-E 3.0, PCI-E x1, Sata 6 GB)

Stunning motherboard. I initially bought an ASROCK mb but without knowing that i would need to update the bios for the new Kabylake processor that i bought (I5 7500). Couldn't do anything with the ASROCK board in the end and decided to send it back. Had to spend more cash on this board but what with the Z270 chipset, the bios was already sorted ready to go, WINNING! Everythings very good looking on this motherboard and all the apps that come with it is a good touch that allows you to run your pc the way you want it. Lots of good features. And lastly the LEDS on this motherboard are epic! In my case a big LED is getting covered by a fan which sucks but the MSI LEDS and the LEDS strips running along the sides of the board really do give that gaming feel (although not a big gamer). The lights can be changed to any colour and do have some different modes to keep the LEDS in also. I have the LEDS set on rainbow (sifts through colours) and it's looks real good, all this set with an easy MSI app. Overall, great MB and hopefully it lasts.

i got this motherboard to replace my "Asus B250 Plus Prime" motherboard which had bitten the dust on me. the motherboard is easy to install into a case. the LED lights were a bit too much for me so i turned them off inside the MSI Gaming App. I put an i5 7500 in the motherboard along with a Corsair h100i v2 water cooler. with 16Gb of ram and a 1070ti it is a great gaming machine. would recommend to friends etc. you might want to disable the loading screen (it is just the picture on the front of the box) which is really pixelated

best gaming motherboard and looks especially good with the rgb lights. you can also download an app from their website,which allows you to access gaming mode and other modes, and makes the motherboard even easier to use

This motherboard is amazing. The best one I've had, and the price is also great for most users mid-high builds. Bios was extremely easy to operate and the preset modes in the EZ mode are great. The whole setup using the motherboard was great, no problems, very durable. Manual was easy to read and understand. The customability, socket placements and everything is superb, and the motherboard itself is great-looking too. A few problems I encountered are the fact that I couldn't get the USB ports to detect my USB stick in Windows, especially seeing as I didn't have a disk drive to run the drivers. I had to connect my hard drive to another computer, put my drivers there, reconnect it back to my new rig and run the drivers from there. Could be because I'm a bad builder, but hey, I got it working at the end. Another problem is the LED colour controls, and the LEDs themselves. I wanted to put them as Orange all throughout, but for that, I had to select a colour that's more dark blood red to get bright orange, it was never consistent and I couldn't always chose the same colour. And the Effect LEDs couldn't be changed at all, so I had to turn them off to fit my build, but every time I close the MSI Gaming app, they turn back on. Other than that, if was FANTASTIC.

I love it one of the best motherboard I brought ( I brought a few in the past but not as good as this one at the minute I don’t dislike anything so all 5 stars at the moment and affordable I would tell anyone who is rebuilding or marking a new gameing pc thankyou amazon

Upgraded from the z97 motherboard and switched to a 6700k, was a great decision as the z97 boards lack the design of the new 270 chipset and MSI have nailed this board! After a week of using it have fallen in love. There are so many different lighting options to choose from and you can plug your led strip straight into the motherboard which is always handy. Would definitely recommend this board to others as some of the other 270 boards are a little more expensive and have the exact same features. Had to go with this one simply due to the lighting effects and how sleek the design looks once mounted in the case.

Motherboard is very well built and I’m really happy with how good the ports and other features work, has an M.2 drive and 3 PCI ports, the board has LEDs that you can change the colour of through an app on your phone so can match other colours you have on the rest of your case. (LEDs come in red originally). Great value for money for something that is actually quite well built and updates are bought out quite often for it also.

Good motherboard for the price. Works well with i7 7700k. Please note if your ram is a higher speed than 2133mhz then you must enable XMP in the bios if you would like to run it at its advertised speed. LED lighting does look quite good and can be customised. Driver CD absolute trash - doesn't work despite reinstalling windows. Drivers also aren't available officially on the msi website. If you can provide me with a replacement driver cd or links to official drivers I will increase the rating to a 5 but otherwise it is almost impossible to install all of the necessary drivers.

La carte a été achetée pour monter une bonne config Gamer (Msi Z270, intel i7 7700k, Water cooling Masterliquid 240, Ssd M2.0 Samsung 250 Go, Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 16GB, Disque Hybrid 2To, Carte graphique 1080 TI, alimentation cougar 800watts et le fabuleux boitier Cougar Panzer S. Une fois la configuration est montée, la carte a reconnu tous les éléments et Win 10 s'est installé très rapidement. Je dois dire que les performances sont là. Je n'ai pas encore testé les possibilités d'overclocking mais cela ne saurait tarder. Les diods lunimeuses sont de toute beauté et la possibilité d'adjoindre un ruban led et de le controler directement via le bios est un plus. il y a 2 connecteurs m2.0 dont un Turbo et l'autre compatible intel optane. Voilà!

Ordered a motherboard after mine had die a couple of weeks ago. The board was well packaged and arrived within a week. Works like a charm. I can recommend this seller to anyone looking for a motherboard long out of production. 5 ⭐ from me!

Cosa dire di MSI ......una modo davvero eccellente, ben curata nella costruzione, ha tutte le ultime tecnologie infilate sopra, permette con un costo non altissimo di avere un PC di ultimissima generazione, a patto di affiancare una CPU all'altezza e una scheda video sempre di ultima generazione. Il bios è davvero semplice curato e fa benissimo il suo dovere, appena installata ho fatto un aggiornamento Bios e da quel momento tutto ha funzionato benissimo. Questa mobo nel mio caso l'ho affiancata a un I7 7700K e a una GTX 1080 con 32 Gb di Ram, tutto funziona benissimo e una volta installato il tutto i Benchmark mi hanno confermato che questa Mobo fa quello che promette, ovvero Prestazioni e grande flessibilità. Per anni si dormirà sereni sapendo che il Pc ti seguirà nei tuoi lavori senza mai una incertezza, la consiglio senza remore a tutti quelli che fanno del PC uno strumento di uso giornaliero a un certo livello o per lavoro o per giocare. Inutile dire che per i Gamer c'è un BIOS studiato per gli overclock molto curato pur nella sua semplicità, per sfizio ho fatto una prova e davvero la stabilità è davvero ammirevole. Con due tocchi si lavora con la CPU senza colpo ferire da 4,2 Giga a 4,8 Giga così con estrema facilità. Comunque io lavoro a Clock Stock non amo troppo gli overclock, preferisco che il PC mi duri a lungo, comunque per chi desidera questa Mobo offre anche questa possibilità. Detto questo vi saluto ...

Ich habe mir das board vor 3 jahren als es auf den Markt kam gekauft und betreibe einen Intel I5 7500 mit 16gb Ram darauf, inkl. Einer SSD und 2 physischen HDDs. Ich kann das Board nur empfehlen. Es ist sehr wertig verarbeitet, Anschlüsse sind zu hauf vorhanden, was auch ein Kaufgrund für mich war. Weiterhin fand ich die LED Beleuchtung ansprechend. Hier sei zu erwähnen dass die Beleuchtung der „South Bridge“ heute ja eher ICO leider von sehr langen grafikkarten überdeckt wird. Ich habe eine gtx 980 von zotac amp und diese ist so lang, dass das logo verdeckt wird, nicht so schön aber meckern auf hohem niveau. Die MSI Mystic Light von MSI ist jetzt nicht der absolute Hammer, sie funktioniert aber wie bei -ich glaube fast allen Boardhersteller-Lösungen- wäre sie durchaus verbesserungswürdig. Für die LED Fraktion: es hat leider nur einen 4 Pin RGB Anschluss, nicht den neueren Digitalen mit 3 Pin. Hier können also von werk aus keine LEDs einzeln addressiert werden, mit einem zusätzlichen Controller ist das aber machbar. Ansonsten bin ich mit dem Board sehr zufrieden, es hat noch nie Probleme gemacht und macht einen wirklich stabilen Eindruck. Heute kommen Wasserkühlung, neuer Ram und eine M2 dazu, das Board besitzt 2 M2 anschlüsse, und ich freue mich, ihm „neues“ Leben einzuhauchen. Es ist sicher nicht das günstigste Board in der Klasse aber sein Geld allemal Wert

quality is very best but I have received the different item i order again in 6 months
