ATX-format gaming motherboard based on the top chipset of 2018 for the AMD AM4 processor socket. Fully compatible with all AMD Ryzen/Ryzen Pro (1st and 2nd generation) processors, 7th generation A-series APUs, and Athlon X4 (Bristol Ridge core only). The manufacturer is positioned as a product of the highest price category, designed for gamers who want to increase performance through moderate overclocking. Thanks to the presence of three PCI-E x16 slots, Gen3 supports the creation of multi-GPU assemblies using 3-Way AMD CrossfireX technology. The MSI X470 GAMING PRO motherboard is equipped with 4 slots for installing DDR4-2133/2400/2666/2933 memory modules with a total capacity of up to 64 GB (only with Ryzen CPU). It has two M.2 PCI-E Gen3 x4 / x2 ports for connecting high-speed NVMe SSDs...and 6 SATA3 connectors for conventional SSD / HDD. Supports gigabit network connections with the built-in Realtek 8111H controller, Realtek ALC892 audio codec provides 7.1 channel audio. It has MSI's proprietary RGB lighting control system Mystic Light Sync.

Optimal Gaming

Although the MSI X470 Gaming Plus is based on AMD's top-of-the-line socket AM4 chipset, the AMD X470, it sits somewhere in the middle of MSI's list of new motherboards. And all because, for the sake of an affordable price, it lacks some of the features inherent in uncompromising gaming solutions.

Backlight with Mystic Light Sync

Of the main simplifications, we note that the processor power supply is implemented in the form of two 8pin + 4pin connectors, and not 8pin + 8pin, there is no trendy USB-C port on the connector panel (but there is USB 3.1 Gen2), a standard Realtek ALC892 sound controller is installed (but with an optical output ). Plus, there is a proprietary backlight with Mystic Light synchronization, which, on the one hand, looks more modest than solutions from competitors like Asus, and on the other, supports things like the ability to control the backlight from a smartphone.

Memory overclocking up to 3466 MHz

The rest of the MSI X470 Gaming Plus is a very advanced board, not limited in terms of equipment. Based on it, you can assemble a system with several video cards, however, only the Crossfire variant with AMD GPUs is supported. Four RAM slots allow you to install up to 64 GB DDR4 with the ability to overclock to 3466 MHz. There is space for two M.2 SSDs at once. The work of the first is provided by the PCIe lines of the processor, and the second — by the lines of the chipset.

Damn convenient BIOS

Considering that the board is based on a top-end chipset and has a good power supply, a wide range of settings is available for overclocking experiments. The BIOS itself is very convenient and intuitive, with a bunch of options for overclocking and monitoring the system, as well as the ability to switch from a graphical menu to a more traditional text menu option. Here we take our hats off to the guys from MSI.
