| It's quite obvious that the MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is a product where the vendor is aiming for an attractive price point. This motherboard features a great looking design, which has been kept in a carbon-like look based on a black PCB. Apart from that there are features like two M.2 slots, several 4-pin PWM header and a decent audio solution. The MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is currently listed on Geizhals for 190 Euro, which is perfectly reasonable considering the feature list. |

| The layout of the MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC has been well thought. This model features four angled SATA connectors and two straight SATA ports, which can be found in the bottom right corner. Since the Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is a mid-range motherboard, it's no surprise that there aren't any power- and/or reset-buttons. Apart from that we like the placement of the full-sized PCI-Express slots and two of them are being equipped with metal reinforcement plates. There is a total of three full sized PCI Express slots and three PCIe x1 slots. This means that there is plenty of space for graphics cards in multi GPU setups to breathe. In addition there are two M.2 slots. |
