| Overall | + | - | |
As expected the MSI X299 Gaming Pro Carbon AC is a well-built motherobard which comes with numerous features. There is a great looking design, which has been kept in a carbon-like look based on a black PCB. Apart from that there is a highly capable power design next to other high quality components. These days the X299 Gaming Pro Carbon AC sells for 358 Euro, which is anything but cheap, yet not completely overpriced, especially considering the costly power circuitry. The two USB 3.1 ports, the M.2 slots and the U.2 connector are definitely good to have and they've both been wired using four PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes. |

| The MSI X299 Gaming Pro Carbon AC's layout has been well-thought. Once more practical are the angled SATA connectors. Apart from that there are all features gamers and to a certain extent also overclockers want such as onboard power and reset buttons as well as debug LED and OC buttons. Looking at full-sized PCI Express slots there are four and all of them feature metal reinforcements. Furthermore we find two M.2 slots and should you choose to install such an SSD you can equip it with MSI's M.2 Shield, which should prevent thermal throttling. | - Space around the CPU socket - Audio Solution |
