Perfect in every way

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent motherboard for my first build. I chose this one because it does allow 7th gen and below Intel core overclocking, and it fits well with my color scheme. This beast of a board wasn't my first choice but it definitely proved its worth. It was cheaper than the other boards I looked at, and has a very unique feel to its presentation. I was worried seeing how this wasn't reviewed when I bought it, but it is a newer board so it makes sense.

My build:
Intel i5 7600k CPU
LEPA AquaChanger120
16gb Ballistix Sport LT (2x8gb) RAM
240gb Radeon SSD
2TB Hard Drive
Geforce GTX 1060 6Gb GPU
All in a Corsair 88R Micro-ATX case.

Pros:
Comes reinforced with every port you could want - from M.2 to four PCIe slots (two mini) to much needed SATA III.
The board is strong, sturdy.
It fits a good red/black/gray scheme.
User Manual was easy to use for cable insert locations.
Compact size fits inside any Micro-ATX case.
Port placement is very user friendly.
Keeps all fans quiet, and functional.
Navigating through BIOS was simple, quick, and painless.
Downloading the MSI drivers from the given disk was just as easy.

Cons: (mainly personal concerns)
Contrary to it's compact size, it was a little snug in my case for my tastes.
This board can house 4 fans, but with my cooler I needed 6 collectively. (I suggest getting a couple extra Molex adapters)

If you're looking for a board that has and does it all, this has got to be THE BEST ONE for the $00-$200 price range.

Ups the bling factor. Decent board too.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Very decent motherboard for the price. Bought it for a build for my old lady's gaming machine (Better than any console out there, but not overly expensive). She loves that it matches the case. Paired with an Intel Core i5-7600K LGA 1151 and it worked flawlessly. The M.2 integrated into the motherboard is a nice feature as well. But I think it shares the same bus as the SATA-0 port so it is either or (There are plenty of other SATA ports to use on this board so don't worry). Paired with a GTX 960 from Zotac (4GB) it runs all the games we want to play flawlessly (Skyrim, Shadows of Mordor).

Great motherboard at a good price, that'll be as much as most people probably need.

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've recently built a computer utilizing this board. I haven't had it so long yet, but I wanted to contribute to the discussion going on, since the cheaper boards generally have less information about them floating around; what with most reviewers focusing on flagship products.

I had some trepidation about this choice at first, but once I got it installed, I felt a lot better. I was a lot happier with my purchase. I think in some sense we want to look at those 300-400 dollar boards, and convince ourselves we need them, but for what? I even had some regret, thinking I should have perhaps bumped up to the full ATX version of this, or to the MSI SLI, but really, when I looked at it, and the features, I realized this is all I needed; and frankly, all that most people might need. The more expensive boards mostly just add fluff, and if you do need something like SLI, MSI provides a board priced just as well as this one, that'd basically have the same feature set, plus SLI. It seemed to me that there was very little that more expensive boards added, beyond flashy LEDs, refined looks, and expanded ports; beyond what most typical users would need. The base features we all need, are there.

I think it's a really well rounded board at a good price. I like that the back IO is covered, since my case has a tempered glass side panel. On that note, I think it's a nice cleanly designed board that doesn't come across too flashy, but still gives some visual appeal. I have a 7700k installed in it, which I've overclocked. The overclocking tools seem exactly the same as what you'd get on higher-end boards, and so far it has performed well for me on that front.

There's LEDs on the back side of the board, for some lighting effects. I wish they were changeable in color. They're red. Everything is red, if it's not RGB, it's Red red red, and uggh. I can't imagine that it would have added much to the cost to make them RGB. I guess it does go some with the red accents on the board, but I'd prefer to set them to white, and let that help highlight the red accents. You can turn those LEDs off, which is nice, and there is a header on the board to support connecting a LED strip. Now, at the time of writing this review, I haven't utilized that port yet, but I have a light strip in the mail. I did investigate the software some, and noticed that they only give a small selection of predefined colors. I didn't like that, and if I find there's a way to set any color you want, I'll update this review to reflect that.

So far my biggest complaint deals with LEDs... I think the take away is that the board functions just fine. The software (MSI's Windows apps, for handling stuff like overclocking in the OS, or fussing with the LEDs) isn't bad, if you choose to use it. I think there's enough in the way of SATA ports, and PCIe slots, that it'd handle what most people need. Looking at MSI's lineup, the biggest difference between models seems to be the motherboard size, or aesthetics, with the basic feature set changing very little. I've noticed from looking at some of their boards, the components look exactly the same, with only colors and styling being different; with an odd ball component here or there being slightly different.

Dark red writing on a black board

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018

Style: Z270 GAMING PLUSSize: ATXVerified Purchase

This is the third rig I’ve built, the two other times I used Asus boards but this time I wanted to try MSI. So, it’s frikkin awesome looking. The whole build is red and purple and the board is perfect aesthetically, but holy cow dark red on a black board is ridiculously hard to parse when it’s as tiny as it is in a dark case and you’re plugging things in in a cramped space. Asus BIOS user interfaces are easier to use and tweak and manually update but this one isn’t bad. Performance has been good so far so I can’t complain too much now that the build is done and MSI has some useful in OS software for updates and over clocking. But good god. I wanted to throttle whoever thought dark red writing on a black board was a good idea.

Great Mobo for a reasonable price

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2017

Verified Purchase

Got this to pair with a 7600k. The price is pretty unbeatable for a z270 board and everything seems to be high quality.

Bios comes with an "Easy mode" which makes a lot of usually more advanced features easier to use. Even has an easy automatic overclock for those that don't want to fiddle around with settings too much or are new to overclocking. One press and my 7600k runs at a stable 4.3ghz. Nice and easy.

One thing to note is that the board is larger for an mATX mobo, at least larger than my old mATX. Might be because of the crossfire support and 4 ram slots. But those things are appreciated anyway so no complaints here.

Great motherboard, would recommend.

Reviewed in Canada on December 11, 2017

Style: Z270 GAMING PLUSSize: ATXVerified Purchase

I have been watching this card for quite a bit, even though it had mixed reviews. This was an upgrade from a I7 920 with a Dell MB (XPS 9100, 2010).

Pros:
No issues with installation
MSI live updated did a quick update immediatly
Nice colours and red leds (my theme is black and red)
Easy to use an navigate BIOS
Cons:
Card seems to be shorter and hung over the standoff (weird as it replaced an ATX card)
I was worried it may break as flexed a bit
Bios used my HD as a boot priority, even though Win 10 was on my SSD. I was able to fix it by going in, finding priority options and putting SSD as a profile (not a priority). Weird vs a regular bios.

All in all, I am quite impressed and do love how everything looks and how it functions. I would highly recommend. Lets hope the longevity is there as well as too soon to tell obviously.

Excelente placa por buen precio!

La placa en general funciona excelente, se puede observar que esta hecha con buenos materiales y se siente la calidad, el tamano es mATX pero creo que es ligeramente mas grande, aun asi la meti en un case mini ITX y esta perfecta con pocas adaptaciones, tiene un game booster que le hace overclock seguro al procesador y practicamente tienes el control de todo con esta placa, la recomiendo mucho pues su precio es bastante accesible para un producto de buena calidad. Solo estoy usando una Tarjeta de video y aunque tiene espacio para dos, dice Crossfire Ready, desconozco si funcionaria para SLI de nvidia

Good board, not perfect

Reviewed in Canada on February 10, 2018

Nice board with red led tracing at the back. Two M.2 slots can be used with NVME SSD or wifi card. The memory slots are a little close to the CPU socket so you may have to use a smaller cooler or water cooling. I was using it will Corsair Vengence LPX 3000 memory at the beginning but it was unstable. Switching to OCZ Trident 3200 solved the problem. The Corsair ram seems to run just fine in another board. I think it's a firmware issue.

El diseño es realmente magnifico teniendolo en tus manos que comparado a las imagenes, el color es un poco mas oscuro de lo esperado. Las capacidades de soporte son realmente buenas, no puedo quejarme, al precio que lo compre realmente lo considero como una buena inversion. Los 3 pci ex de 16 son muy bien recibidos puesto que te dan mas oportunidad de agregar componentes extra.
