The layout of the MSI H370 Gaming Pro Carbon has been well thought. This model features six angled SATA connectors, which can be found in the bottom right corner. Since the H370 Gaming Pro Carbon 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 one of them is being equipped with metal reinforcement plates. There is a total of two full sized PCI Express slots and three PCIe x1 slots. In addition there are two M.2 slots. Although the design has been improved, we still see cheap plastic covers all over the motherboard.

At the moment our test setup includes ten motherboards but during the next weeks we will add more models. Calculating the average of all benchmarks results we ran, we see that this board sits very close to our 100%. On another note, we had at energy efficiency where this board scores thirt.
