MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON Socket AM4 AMD Ryzen 7th Gen Athlon DDR4 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard - Black

One of these plus Ryzen 7 = cheap performance, I used to have a major downer on Ryzen, turns out I had a duff Ryzen 7 chip and a bunch of cowboys (CCL Computers) who just messed me about and fobbed me off. So eventually I lost patience with them and talked to AMD and they were excellent, posted my chip to Amsterdam and within a week I had a new chip in my hand that works like a champ.So this motherboard then, oooh it's a goody, I've always liked MSI motherboards right as far back as x79, updating the bios was the easiest ever, so simple and totally guided, it saw the memory without issue, set the CPU ratios and off I went.If you are into RGB and pretty colours then you'll love this, there are several areas you can mess with and the colours are very vibrant and infinitely controlable, the lightening effect is particularly impressive.Overclocking? no problem, you can tweak everything in expert mode or go for general bounces in 'my first pc' mode, both work well and courtesy of a be quiet 360 AIO cooler I can hit 4.3Ghz across all 8 cores with total stability, I can go to 4.5 but that's shakier than a alcoholic with a bad hangover, 4.4 obviously is inbetween the two.All up then it's a solid motherboard with all the tweakery you need and pretty lights, wholeheartedly recommend

Everything working as expected once my build was completed. Updated the BIOS and installed some of the software (don’t need all the added bloat thanks) system has been running stable with zero issues & at a steady over clock of 4.2ghz. Over clocking is simple using the menus in the bios and can even been done within windows using the MSI software, overall an awesome looking board, with great features and well made.

I honestly did not have a single problem with this motherboard. I recently did a major upgrade on my gaming PC, to bring it up to date, and this motherboard was one of the new parts that went in.It worked flawlessly and it has quite an attractive BIOS might I say. Just make sure you follow the manufacturers indications regarding RAM placement and other important bits and you should be fine.First thing I did after my newly upgraded PC was up and running, was the mobo BIOS update, which apparently is a very important aspect because it usually fixes compatibility problems with other components in your PC, should you encounter any.I paired this motherboard with a 16gb RAM stick made by Ballistix and a Ryzen 7 1700x (brilliantly cooled by an H80i V2 liquid pump) and everything just works absolutely wonderful.I'm happy with the purchase and thought I would give this product the 5 stars it deserves.Time will tell though if this is indeed a durable motherboard, but after 2 weeks of use, I am perfectly fine with it.

I upgrade my PC about a month ago and went for the MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon, it is a fantastic board with a very easy to navigate BIOS meaning setting XMP for my RAM was not an issue. The RGB looks great and the board seems very good quality. My AMD Ryzen 5 1600 works perfectly in it and if I wanted I could put in a Ryzen 7 at a later date. For the price I don't think I could've gotten a better motherboard.

Very good looking motherboard. Plenty of connections for storage and four RAM slots. Ample power delivery for my Ryzen 1600 chip and got it to a stable 3.8 ghz at 1.375 volts.

After many years I decided to build an enthusiast PC for my Audio-Video-CAD-Gaming needs. I did my homework.My last PC build was based upon Intel platform.This time around, for my budget and computing requirements, I decided to give the new AMD-Ryzen platform a try. Here are my summary build:Motherboard: MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon AM4/AMDCPU: AMD Ryzen-7 1700 @ 3.0GHz Stock speedCPU Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 33 CO - Semi Passive CPU Tower Cooler with Dual Ball Bearing/Max.

I returned them after much effort.It could work at higher frequency after few more BIOS updates but I could not wait that long for this build.-8gbx2 Corsair RAM does not post above 2933MHz, although rated to 3200MHz.I tried many combinations.BIOS updates required.-I filled up slot-B for each RAM channel. On channel-A, they did not work for me or gave lower speed.-The default speed for DDR4 RAM on Ryzen/MSI combination is 2133MHz both for 16gbx2 and 8gbx2 RAM kits I bought.-The difference between CPU speed and RAM speed has to be at least 900MHz for the RAM to operate at 2933MHz. I could not boot the system at CPU speed 3000MHz and RAM speed 2933MHz.I suspect the CPU ecosystem multiplier is locked for safety.AMD/MSI may open them in future.-Both RAM kits work at 2667MHz at 3.7/3.9GHz CPU speed.-Once CPU is overclocked and stable, attempt RAM overclocking.Not both at the same time!-A-XMP did not work on my set up.-Set auto CMOS clearance 'enabled' and save the profile for each overclocking setting-First power off mains using wall/psu button, then turn on the PC to drain out motherboard/psu capacitors chagres before an attempt to short CMOS clear jumper using a metallic screw driver.There is no switch for CMOS clearance on the mb.Results:Cinebench R15 score: 1790CPUZ-Multi thread score: 4820CPUZ-Single thread score:453CPUZ Multi thread Ratio: 10.64Comments:The RAM compatibility will require few more BIOS revisions. Try to use higher frequency RAM kit for future proofing. There should have been a CMOS clearance button on this motherboard!!Conclusions: I have created a workhorse for my workloads, it is absolutely a beast!

Got the motherboard. Looks undamaged and was well packed in. There was a paper sheet in there saying "guaranty void if cpu socket pins bent". X370 doesn't have socket pins. Haven't got a chance to make it working because I can't have all the parts in one go.Update. RGB lights just failed after 2 weeks of usage. Next time will go with ASUS motherboard as they are superior in everything. At least motherboard works flawlessly.

Gutes Board mit Anlauf Schwierigkeiten.Bei einschalten des PCs dauerte es ca 1min bis zum bios Startbild oder funktionierte gar nicht und der Bildschirm blieb schwarz. Schuld daran war mein blue ray laufwerk bj 2007. Nach Ausbau dauerte das starten zum bios 5 sek. auf die win Oberfläche 5 sek mit einer M.2 ssd.Sonst gab es keine Probleme bei der Installation.Auch das Bios flashen auf Version 1.9 ging ohne Probleme per USB-Stick.CPU: 1700x ohne ÜbertaktungLüfter: Arctic liquid freezer 120 + 3 Gehäuse Lüfter 140mm PWM ArcticTemp Idle CPU 30 Grad; Mainboard 40 Grad; Systin 30 Grad (keine Temp Schwankungen)Temp last CPU 46 Grad; Mainboard 58 Grad; Systin 42 Grad.

Preferico fare una premessa prima di iniziare: sono un New Entry del PC gaming è le mie conoscenze non sono ancora ottime e la mia recensione è da vedere direttamente proporzionale alla mia esperienza con le eventuali lacune ed omissioni di dettagli. La X370 Gaming Pro Carbon già dal packaging si presenta molto bene con una confezione molto accattivante. Questa MOBO il gradino superiore alle più economiche B350 con una differenza di circa 40/50€ giustificata dalle funzionalità in più come la possibilità di fare Overclock(che con un ryzen è una scelta obbligata). Una volta montata nel Case la scheda fa un ottima figura con un'estetica davvero entusiasmante, esaltate dal carbon look e dai led. La spesa in più è giustificata da una qualità costruttiva superiore e da una ottima scheda audio integrata

Salut à tous!!!!Je suis trés satisfait de cette carte mere.Je l'ai prise pour overcloker mon R7 1700 a 4ghz et 16G ddr4 Gskill XFlare 3200mgz.Apres la mise a jour du Bios, pc parfaitement stable et détecte bien mes ram a 3200 et non pas à 2980 comme la plus part des gens.J'ai une alim 600w evga certifier 80 plus ( simplement) et une gtx 980ti tout marche nikel en pleine charge. Le processeur monte a 60 degrés avec un noctua special am4.

Habe mir einen neuen Ryzen Rechner gebaut und dieses MSI Mainboard ausgewählt. Eigentlich kann man sagen auspacken, einbauen, einschalten geht super! Mainboard ist bereits mit der neuesten Firmware geliefert worden, eingebaut wurden zusätzlich auf dem Mainboard:Ryzen 7 1700x, Noctua NH-U12S AM4, Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R, SSD am M.2 Steckplatz WD Black PCIe 256, MSI Aero 1080 8GB Grafik.Mit diesen Komponenten läuft der Ryzen im OC bei 3,9GHz, der RAM stabil mit 3200 MHz und alles andere eh extrem schnell. In verschiedenen Benchmarks ist die CPU auch nie über 75 Grad angestiegen, im Schbitt läuft diese bei ca. 40 Grad.Das Bios hat eine sehr gute Oberfläche die auch per Maus (USB) bedient werden kann, das Handbuch ist MSI like sehr genau beschrieben.Zudem leuchtet das Mainboard standard ROT ist aber Multicolor änderbar inklusive verschiedener Lichteffekte, darüber hinaus kann ein Multicolor LED Band 5050 max. 2m direkt am Mainboard angeschlossen werden und ebenfalls von diesem gesteuert werden.Weiters gibt es einen zweiten M.2 Steckplatz am Mainbord, 6 Sata Anschlüsse, Doppelte GraKa SLI Möglichkeit und vieles mehr. Kein anderes Board bietet und dieses Geld so viel.

Nunca habia comprado msi, y de una tacada he comprado esta placa y dos tarjetas de vídeo. Muy buena compra todas.Lo de esta placa ha sido más bien una eleción por descarte. Me explico, no juego nunca con el pc, pero quería una placa con salida de audio optica y al menos 6 puertos sata, así que terminé con esta MSI, muy contento de la elección, la calidad es magnífica, el negro mate y el rojo de los leds (lleva leds por todos lados) quedan muy bien en la caja, también negra que le puse.En cuanto a prestaciones y fiabilidad, no he tenido nada mejor nunca, me han ganado como cliente.P.D. No me he podido resistir a la tonteria y le he pinchado una tira de leds al controlador integrado que lleva la placa, y ahora el interior de mi caja parece la disco de fiebre del sábado noche, una locura vamos.
