Not only a beautiful motherboard but at the same time rock SOLID, right out of the box it worked perfectly like it should not like others z270 motherboards that gave me problems after problems.
Great for overclocking I would say. Got my i7 7700k up to 5.1 ghz wooow but I prefer running stock for better temps since the new 7 gen cpu's from Intel are not the best for temps.
I been using MSI motherboards since 2005 and they NEVER fail on me once :) some had little tweaks here and there but this one worked amazing, I just took out of the box installed all my components (GPU,CPU,RAM) and turned the X.M.P profile for my ram and booooom it works perfect :D
DEFENITELY RECOMEND BYING THIS BOARD!
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME LOOKING FOR OTHERS BOARDS.
BUY THID BABY you wont be disappointed ; )
Cons: It doesn't have an M2 shield which is a shame. LEDs are not as fancy as the gaming pro carbon. They are kind of hidden. My cpu fan is bright so it takes away the look of the board. Audio ports at the back are ridiculous. You get 6 ports out of which I use 2 (USB headsets).
Pros: Almost Everything, very stable, reliable, incredible deal and performance for the price!
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: If you already have a CPU for this board, go with it, its great! If you are starting from scratch, go with the 8th generation with the same board BUT the z370 series, overall both are amazing!
Edit: Dropped one star because MSI has provided very little support software side for this motherboard. This does not affect performance, but does make things like controlling RGB lights in your case to be lackluster. If you bought a kit of memory thinking it would work on this mobo because it says "mystic compatible", you'd be wrong because it's only supported by newer MSI motherboard that uses Dragon Center instead of the classic MSI Gaming App.
This motherboard has been working perfectly for the past 2 years. Easy to work with, good I/O, and no clearance issue even in my sub-20L case. Just put in an NVMe drive with no issue. Saw someone asking if this supports NVMe and the answer is yes, if your motherboard has an M.2 slot then it more than likely does (someone said you need an adapter in the Q&A, this is false).

If you plan to have a cooler such as Svyte big Shuriken or Noctua C serie, have 3x 4pins cable extension, as the 4 pins connectors will be entirely covered by your cooler and you won't have access to it anymore.
Great job MSI, you guys won me over from ASUS.
CONS:
No case badge though.
