MSI Z370 SLI PLUS Pro Series Intel Coffee Lake LGA 1151 VR Ready 64GB DDR4 SLI ATX Motherboard

Likes: I always have positive experiences with MSI, when I owned my computer store I found that for long life in durability for my computer builds, there military grade (Stronger soldering points on the board and components) are good. Combined with the good price and stable BIOS I recommend MSI. The MSI PRO Z370_SLI Plus has not let me down. Great with speed, durability and good price. I love the fact that they give you 3 express 16x slots. The excess of 1x express slots always bothered me, an 2 of the 16x slots are armored. Which means they are designed to hold heavier cards. Dislikes: Come on MSI, bring back the grey or white boards. Yes the RGB lights are great, but if the board was arctic white it would have been better. Conclusion: FAST, GOOD PRICE, MILITARY GRADE, 2 ARMOR PLATED 16X express, 3 EXPRESS INSTEAD OF 2. This board is great for gaming and office use alike.

The board looks great especially with the led traces. The reinforced pcie slots are much appreciated with the heavy graphics cards I have in mine and the ease of SLI is great. The performance is great along with the MSI software for boosting it.

Came with the wrong io shield so had to send back. But looks good and seems to be a nice board.

Bought and received this MB back in Jan 2018. Installed perfectly. Worked great... for 18 months. One morning it simply would not boot or post. Fans and lights did light up but that was it. No problem, things happen. Contacted MSI for a RMA which they granted after verifying my warranty was still good (3 year warranty). Received a refurbished MB back within 2 weeks. So far, so good. Upon installing the refurbished MB and setting things up... no go. Same issue. I checked the MB serial number from my original box (I kept it) against the refurbished MB and they were different. That's how I determined I received a refurbished MB. I discovered that my RAM "A Channel" on my refurbished MB was dead. Had to place both RAM sticks in the B channel to be able to boot. I contacted MSI back and got a lot of run around. They finally asked me if I wanted to RMA the refurbished MB and I said yes. They never sent me the new RMA number. They did send me a communication (through their website,never an email - easier to delete any negative records/feedback from their website this way!) in which they stated that they had inspected the refurbished MB before shipping it and it worked so "I" had to have done something wrong, bent pins, dropped it or whatever. WRONG ANSWER! Been building PC's as a hobby for over 20 years now. Am extra careful in my things thanks to my OC. Then... crickets from them. No answer to follow up communications. So, I bought a different brand MB and viola! Worked perfectly from the get-go. Not an issue to be had. My CPU was good. RAM was good. GPU was not an issue. SSD/HDD's all worked perfectly. Audio (which is usually a pain to deal with worked with no further intervention on my part with my new board. MSI... I backed you as a brand for years having owned 3 MB's since 2008 or so. Felt wrong to be treated this way. Oh, and keep in mind that you are still responsible for any item sent to a customer via (insert courier service here). Until your client receives his/her product, you are responsible. The courier could have dropped the package (which by the way, was improperly packaged... I work claims in the logistics industry so I know about these things!). 2 small pieces of foam in a box and a MB loosely laid on top of it is not proper shipping package... more so for electronics of this nature. Wish I had taken pictures of how I shipped my old board up the first time I RMA'ed. MSI... I am sorry. I can no longer recommend MSI. Overall good products but the service is simply bad. Service is what any client depends on. The service will only be as good as the vendor behind it.

The board is nicely built, with a really rich feature set, considering the price. While I wouldn't recommend it if you're seriously into overclocking, it certainly offers more than enough for the casual PC gamer. What sucks about it is the documentation. I got it up and running with the onboard graphics quickly, but if I added an graphics board, I couldn't get anything on the screen (either through the integrated or the graphics board). The leds on the board suggested everything was running fine (including with the graphics board). The documentation was totally unhelpful, as was MSI's website. Eventually I figured out how to prioritize the integrated graphics even when the graphics board was installed, and while I couldn't get into the BIOS in this condition, I could get into Windows. From there, I could see that the NVidia card was recognized by Windows (I got all the drivers installed), so I went back into the BIOS (had to take the card out to be able to do that), prioritized PCI graphics, put the card back in, and expected to not be able to get into the BIOS, but that I would see Windows through it, only for everything to come good. While I'm delighted it works, I don't really know how I made it work, which makes me concerned that something is going to come back and bite me. While I expect some problems when you're using latest versions of tech (as the 370 chipset is), the awful documentation makes this very difficult to troubleshoot.

Very cheap price, but has everything needed for a setup using 8th gen intel CPUs. Very nice that it comes with two m.2 slots.

Hi all, it doesn’t have any screws, I have to go find/order some. Will update when all the other parts come in. Not sure if it works or not. One of the parts is wiggly. Not sure if it’s broken

The product is a really good low-mid level motherboard. Very easy to overclock CPU's and RAM with a reasonable bios is easy to to through. So far I am enjoying, probably one best bang for your bucks. The MysticLight feature is easy to set up and control lights you wish to. Back of CPU is protected and sounds is good. I would definitely recommend.

Nice motherboard for 8th Gen processor which can be used for unlocked or locked CPU

Customer loved it, no complaints

4/5 Great motherboard except first one that was sent to me was a refirb and could tell by the poor packaging and audio port issues and that fact the SN was already registered but asked amazon for a replacement and the replacement works great with no issues.

Great and sexy card for the price.

Ran for about 3hrs then the VRM failed and would not boot past the bios and this was on stock clocks with a I5-8600K
