Overclocking in miniature
The MSI Z270I Gaming Pro Carbon AC is one of the most feature-packed Mini-ITX motherboards out there. With the flagship Z270 chipset and 8-pin power connector, it supports manual overclocking of CPU and RAM. However only a 5-phase VRM is unlikely to allow overclocking records to be set. And the tower supercooler (mandatory for extreme overclocking) will not fit on such a compact motherboard.
Gigabit Internet
The advantages of the Z270I Gaming Pro Carbon AC are not limited to overclocking potential alone. The motherboard also has a DisplayPort video output for connecting 4K monitors, and an audio subsystem with seven MiniJack analogue outputs and one more digital SPDIF, and, most importantly, a Wi-Fi adapter of the newfangled AC standard (1300 Mbps) with two antennas included.
You won't break, you won't bend
Special attention is paid to the strength and durability of the structure. The inductors and capacitors are high-temperature, and the PCI-E x16 connector, like the DIMM slots, is reinforced with metal, which is especially important when the graphics card is several times larger and heavier than the motherboard. But due to the high cost, we can only advise avid gamers and computer enthusiasts to buy the MSI Z270I Gaming Pro Carbon AC.
