The editors didn't like
Disappointing M.2 read speeds

The motherboard supports the USB 3.1 standard
Has
Only comes with two SATA cables
Price
Potentially
Bottom PCIe slot lacks the metal shielding the other 2 do
The 2 straight angled SATA ports would serve better as right angled ones for aesthetics when cable managing your system

No UEFIbased RGB LED control and limited ‘intelligent' control available
No onboard U.2 and an M.2toU.2 adapter will destroy cable management efforts
Additional CPU/Pump PWM fan header would have been welcomed (for dualfan AIOs)
conclusion Despite my view of Kaby Lake in general I do have to say that the motherboard manufacturers did a lovely job with the new ranges being released. This Gaming PRO Carbon for example remains affordable, yet manages to impress. It tweaks as good...
If we have to describe the MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon in one sentence, it would be: quirky, yet competent. It is quirky strange in the sense that we have no idea why the designers chose to separate the SATA ports when there was ample PCB room to place all...
RGB Lighting, Decent Overclocker, Reinforced RAM and PCIe slots
Z270 is essentially an improved version of the Z170 platform. Everything about the Z170 platform has been polished to a mirror sheen with the Z270. With that said, however, it still can't be denied that the jump from Haswell to Skylake, and even Kaby Lake...

No incluye antena WiFi ni Bluetooth, Solo trae un Shield Armor para unidades M.2, No tiene salida 4k@60 Hz (HDMI 1.4), ¿No trae tantos extras como la Gaming M7
Una vez analizados los resultados de rendimiento, no queda mucho más que decir acerca de la MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon. Estamos ante una plataforma muy similar al Z170 y que por ahora no aporta nada especialmente decisivo. Aún así, si vamos a actualizar n...

Precio algo elevado
La placa MSI Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon es uno de los modelos más interesantes que podremos encontrar en el mercado con el nuevo chipset Z270 para el socket LGA 1151 de Intel por su relación prestaciones precio. Ofrece un equilibrio muy bueno entre conect...
Buen rendimiento en general, Leds RGB personalizables por todas partes, Protecciones con MSI Steel Armor y MSI M.2 Shield, la principal novedad, Calidad de componentes asegurada con Military Class 5, Chip de audio integrado de alta calidad Audio Boost 4
Sería perfecto disponer de salida DisplayPort
Lógicamente, poca diferencia entre la placa que analizamos en su momento con este Core i7 7700K, lo que es normal teniendo en cuenta lo que antes decíamos, que el procesador suele determinar el rendimiento de la placa y no al revés. Y entre practicar o no...
