All right. Another day an other review, and today a very first. We are
reviewing an MSI motherboard. Yes I now, do MSI and I'm gonna go be quick on that
one cause we have a lot of reviews to jam into the month of August which I
will remind all of you is my birthday month! Today I thought we'd go a little
bit on a gaming spree and therefore or hence, are reviewing the x470 Gaming
Pro Carbon edition from MSI what's up with that name
what's up with motherboard names these days so long and complex such why... why
anyhow roll that intro.
(INTRO PLYAING)
The X 470 gaming Pro carbon from MSI
as the name indicates leans towards the gaming community and it better do it well
cuz this is a pact community there's a lot of competition already from the
Republic of gamer of Asus, gigabyte or Asrock and yeah any mistake there is
rather unforgiving. The carbon series is usually higher hands of the gaming
catalog of MSI so I am expecting a better finish more robust and more
feature-rich motherboard but before anything else of course this motherboard
is equipped with a brand new AMD chipset: the X470 and in a nutshell there is
absolutely or practically no difference between its predecessors X 370 and the
X470 so feature wise if you go back one generation to the MSI carbon x370 or
X470 you're not gonna find anything you or very little okay but the good news is
that it is backward compatible with the first generation of Ryzen, the 1600
1700 and all that stuff, with the graphic version of Ryzen
the 2000... the G 2200 sorry or the G 2400 and of course the new Ryzen2 which was
released with the X 470 chipset also and that's really really cool the previous
X370 chipset is backward and you know forward compatible
it also can accommodate the new rising 2nd generation that's pretty cool
usually what happens when 2 chipsets are very similar manufacturers do not have
to scramble around and try to modify heavily their new motherboards to
accommodate the new features which usually come with new chipset here we
don't have any new features so it really gives a room to those manufacturers to
better or nor any existing product so they usually go little bit crazier on
the enthusiastic side they give a little bit more Liberty to their gaming
community in terms of feedback and what they are going to apply on the next
generation. (CLAP NOISE) this said, there's only one thing left to do. Unboxing
(MUSIC PLAYING)
all right so here is our motherboard but let's put it away for now
and take a closer look to what's in the box first come 2 way SLI bridge, a couple
of 3.0 SATA cables, padded IO shield, I always like them padded, a Corsair RGB
LED extension cable, one to two LED extension Y cable, a more normal RGB LED
extension cable, a screw raiser for our M.2 Solid State Drive and finally the
usual manual stickers coupons (talking fast ) . So let's take a closer look to our motherboard:
our board comes in an ATX form factor meaning thirty point five centimeter
long for twenty four point four centimeter wide. It is powered by an
AM4 CPU socket meaning that it can support anything from Athlon A series
CPUs and all the different Ryzen CPU generations. RAM wise this board is
equipped with a usual dual channel which can support up to 64 gigabytes of ddr4
Ram overclockable up to three thousand four hundred and sixty-six megahertz.
alright so here I gotta say I am very happily surprised usually manufacturers
don't give too much attention to the RAM slots but here MSI has actually fitted a
full metallic body to them to add some support to your RAM sticks and your
ability on top of that they added something that I haven't seen on in
other manufacturers which I absolutely love, maybe gigabyte if I think about it but
and I'm not sure I have to review that but absolutely love the fact that our
led debugging LED for every RAM modules so you know if one of your RAM does not
connect doesn't work you'll see right on and that's you know it's gonna save me a
lot of time because I cannot count how many builds I have to troubleshoot and
RAM was the last thing in my list and I had to remove everything and finally it
was just one of my RAM sticks ordered here right away from bambam I will know
so well done MSI well done indeed staying in the memory this board can
support up to two and dot two solid state drive one
up to 8 centimeter and 1 up to 11, one of them is equipped with a heat shield
which itself is equipped with a thermal pad a heat shield is always welcome and
you know usually I'm very happy to see one but in this case one there's only
one heat shield instead of two that can be forgiven but the heat shield is super
thin like it's it's barely a piece of metal and even though you have a terma
pad where is the turbo putt going to defuse its heat but tiny tiny hairs in
metal and I'm not done I still have two issues with this particular MDOT - sorry
set drive first it's in placement the fact that it's crammed between the PCIe
expresses once you put your video card or video cards that's it you cannot get
your solid-state drives out anymore you have to remove them yeah it's it's gonna
be time-consuming and annoying for one and secondly video cards produce a lot
of heat that's what they do when you put them on top of an endo to solid state
drive which practically has no heat dissipation abilities one barely the
second one none performance wise I'm a little bit
worried because I'm too afraid of thermal throttling specifically knowing
that those M.2 Solid State Drive will be run and swapping data up to 32 gigabit
per second which is quite massive. And talking of PCIe expresses we have five
PCIe expresses two of which are third generation and three of which are on
second generation we have two single slots single speeds and 3/16 slots with
different speeds only the one closest to the CPU is able to deliver up to 16 full
BUS speed therefore if you are going for a single GPU configuration this is where
you want it to be for optimal performances, the second one can go up to
eight full blast speed and the hands if you have a dual GP configuration this is
where you want them to be and this is why the first two 16 slots PCIe
expresses I've been metallically reinforce they are obviously the most
likely to support the heavy weight of favorite GPUs the last one is kept up to
four bus speed alright so let's take a closer look to our i/o starting from the
left we have a ps/2 connector and I'm not sure what is going on with this new
ps2 craziness this holy I mean all the manufacturers which are putting in X470
chipset seems to have adopted the ps2 all over again if you look at Asus prime
X470 or gigabyte or for whomever you will see they have a ps2 something I
need to investigate them must be good reason to it to second generation USB
plugs which can both swap data up to 480 megabit per second one DisplayPort and
one HDMI port the display ports are only operational if you are using an Athlon a
processor or the Ryzen g-series. Carrying on we have a little slot here and that's
for an optional Wi-Fi adapter a clear CMOS button for 3.1 first-generation USB
plugs which can also add data up to five gigabit per second oh one Gigabit
Ethernet LAN plug and - 3.1 second generation type a and type C USB plugs
which can both transfer data up to 10 gigabit per second and finally our usual
five analog channels as well as an optical one all right so let's turn the
multiple around and take a look at the status we have a total of 8 3.0 SATA
plugs which can all transfer data up to 6 gigabit per second interesting list 6
of them have been placed as where we expect them to be and two of them
directly on the face of the motherboard connector wise we will start with our
front panel connectors right here our front panel audio connectors right here
a couple of USB second-generation connectors Biron here and two front
panel 3.1 generation USB connectors right here alright so so far we've seen
the classical functions of anymore of the board but what does the carbon
brings to the table more than well first you have their mystic light
effect and mystic light is basically a software based application which will
sync all your different compatible components in your build to have a
synchronous and really cool lighting effect and talking of which we do have
two RGB LED strips natively hidden in the board here and here as well as three
connectors for our RGB strips exports two of them for classical RGB connector
and one of them for addressable RGB strips I'd like to note as well that we
do have a coarser connector right here which is of course compatible to coarser
made RGB slash fan hubs and that's something which will further the
integration of really really cool-looking effect in your build
staying in the enthusiast nests of this board we do have an easy debug LED at
least that's what they call it and that's something our really fancy out
the board it is simply for a little RGB which will allow us where we are in our
boot sequence again really cool for troubleshooting really appreciated last
point I want to address is of course the fact that we have no less than 6
different fan connector and one of them which is a dual fan slash water pump
connector so this board will have no problem running a single water custom
cooling loop in its configuration and that makes me half happy because I do
like boards who propose a little bit more than that I like to have a dual
loop configuration but
in conclusion well let's start with a street price of that thing the X 470
gaming Pro carbon will cost you anywhere between 150 to 175 US dollars depending
of the platform you choose and you know I had some real critics about the board
such as andata Soros said rice which again I think are badly placed and the
heat shield which is almost useless in my opinion and you know the fact that we
do not have a sink a second water pump or qulet screen or Aselton power and
reset button but I will forgive those because those specifically is accurate
screen and the power button sold it on the board is a feature that I do really
expect to see on the higher price line around 200 bucks 180 so I'm ready to
forgive that to the benefit of that it does bring options which are simply not
available in its competition for example the RGB LED for the RAM troubleshooting
absolutely genius a bunch of RGB LED for the boot sequence again we have a
similar button and that's pretty cool we have a coarser connector for the reel
and to just amongst us and I have to give real credit for the finish of this
board I mean they did not spare any expense on it on the eye roof we have
this very nice real carbon film which give that formula one kind of very high
performance board and as a hit things on the capacitors are really really sick
and have that very nice sanding finish which really feels great and sell it to
the touch so yes you got something real cool and solid here and now give the
benefit of the doubt to a messiah I know that they had problems manufacturing in
the past few years have a high percentage of return but it seemed that
they fixed that specifically when I look at those ports I can feel the difference
there is definitely a better manufacturing feel tested this board it
but right away I had no problem and that's a very good indication so yeah
I'm gonna give it more than the benefits of the doubt and I'm gonna say yeah you
should definitely go for it if you are going for a good solid performance which
it built
