Awesome Z270 Motherboard That's Packed With Features

ByCrafteron January 20, 2017

Style: Z270 GAMING M7Verified Purchase

I have a verified purchase and review over on Newegg for this motherboard that I wanted to share with everyone here that might be considering a purchase....

Pros: -User Friendly UEFI with a ton of customization and options.
-Awesome and very stable overclocking potential.
-Great layout (fan header locations, M.2 slots, etc.)
-Aesthetically pleasing color scheme.
-MSI Utility Software works wonders.
-RGB Lighting Layout.

Cons: -"RGB" Lighting is very limited. Only a set number of colors are available.
-Fan control within the UEFI is spotty.
-Certain portions of the included manual are very vague.

I built my new Kaby Lake gaming PC using this motherboard just recently. Retired my Ivy Bridge i5 3570K and Z77 platform. So far, in gaming and synthetic benchmarks, it's a significant upgrade.

I have this board paired with an Intel i7 7700K, 32gb Corsair Dominator Platinum SE 3200mhz Memory, EVGA GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid, Corsair H115i, Intel 600p 512gb NVMe Drive. Packaging of the motherboard was superb and included everything needed for the build. Everything plugged in and booted into the UEFI flawless the first time. The nice layout with all the fan headers, M.2 slots, SATA ports, etc. made the build that much easier and pleasant. Driver and software installs were seamless and so far everything plays nice together.

I've got the 7700K clocked currently at 4.7ghz, with voltage set to 1.30. I've noticed though that the voltage does not exceed 1.276 at this clock speed under heavy load so there's definitely some room there to overclock even more. A lot of people are getting 5.0ghz out of these i7's with ease.

Aesthetically, this board looks amazing with the carbon/greyish theme. It definitely fits my other hardware choices beautifully.

My only gripes are the following, but certainly not deal breakers:
-The "RGB" lighting options, while they look amazing with the layout MSI chose, you're very limited in your colors. There's only a set number of choices available. If you're trying to fine tune a certain color in, you won't be able to do it. You can get close though.
-Fan control inside the UEFI. I'll admit, I need to mess with it some more, but some of the options I've fiddled with, resulted in some erratic fan speeds. And yes, I am running all 4pin PWM fans in my build. The other downfall is you can only adjust fan speeds based off CPU temps. No option for GPU. I know this is probably asking a lot, but would be awesome if it was available. I know most BIOS options don't have any control over GPU temps unfortunately.
-Manual that ships with the motherboard was vague at times. This might not be a huge deal for some people. Other people on their first time builds might take issue.

All in all, I highly recommend going with this board if you're in the market for a new Kaby Lake build. I've used Gigabyte for years, and I've recently switched over and used MSI for my last couple PC builds now. Everything has been flawless.

More options than I'll ever use.

ByDaniel L. Denton July 10, 2016

Style: Z170A XPower GAMING TITANIUMVerified Purchase

Trying to shop for a mother board based on customer reviews is depressing. Almost every single board on the market has mixed reviews. I assume half of them are people who don't know what the hell they're doing. This board has been a pleasure to install and the BIOS is easy to work with. No issues so far.

I highly recommend anyone with this motherboard to try raid 0 with ...

ByAmazon Customeron February 16, 2016

Style: Z170A XPower GAMING TITANIUM

Pros:
Windows 8.1 and 10 recognize M.2 socket 950 pro; Once windows OS is installed, download and update NVME drivers from Samsung. Using skylake 6700 with G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) and dual XFX radeoen R9 390.

Before you install OS, go to advanced setting in BIOS and enable option to use only UEFI BOOT. It seemed to help windows 10 not to hang in the final installation screen.

Installation procedure for dual M.2 SSD's in raid 0 mode for MSI MSI Gaming Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM edition motherbaord;
1. Prepare to install windows 10 OS in a bootable flash drive.
2. Google Intel RST raid driver and choose FLOPPY drivers for windows 10/8.1
3. Create a folder "Raid" inside the OS flash drive and place the Intel RST raid floppy drivers.
4. make sure to enable "windows 10 compatibility" in motherboard BIOS settings. Then only you can see both SSD's to enable raid 0 in "integrated peripherals"
5. Once you see both M.2 SSD's change SATA mode to "RAID" and also "enable remapping" for both SSDs.
6. Go back to settings/advanced/intel rapid storage technology and "create a raid volume" and select both drives which makes both to become a single drive.
7. Reboot and proceed with OS installation by selecting F8 to choose OS flash drive.
8. Once you go through the initial steps, windows will show a blank hard drive screen.
9. At this point, choose to load drivers and install the "intel RAID floppy drivers" from the folder in OS flash drive.
10. Now windows should recognize the single SSD raid ) volume and you can complete the installation.
11. dual M.2 SSD's 256 x2 in raid 0 will be faster than a single 512 M.2 and game/map loading times and lags while playing 4K games are nonexistent.

I highly recommend anyone with this motherboard to try raid 0 with dual M.2 SSDs.

CONS
Bent pins are common with MSI motherboards. I recommend to closely look for any bent pins with a magnifying glass and flash light before placing the intel CPU in the socket. Many times you can correct the bent pins with a small tool instead of returning the motherboard.
If BIOS/POST screen appears blank when you using a single RAM stick in slot 2, it indicates bent pins. At this time all the MB lights power on normally with a small RAM display jumping through various numbers (22, 55 etc.). Try using a different slot to see if POST screen works. Calling MSI tech support is useless as they tell you to reset BIOS if it doesn't work, return the MB.

Returned Once for Exchange, Then Finally for Refund

ByCasey O'Donnellon November 16, 2016

Style: Z170A XPower GAMING TITANIUMVerified Purchase

First board arrived with bent pins and some pins actually longer than others. Really liked the board so I returned to Amazon for replacement. My replacement was an open box that did have all the accessories but had obviously been installed (light scratches around MB mounts and hardware attachment points). Installed with Windows 10 Pro and Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD. Which then only hit third of rated speed.

I thought it was my fault, as I had automatically Windows in Legacy BIOS and not in EFI with WHQL set in the MB (old habits). Reinstalled from the ground up with all MB/Windows installation configurations exactly as specified but still only one third rated speed. The drive reported PCIe3 x4 and 32Gb bandwidth correctly, but only 8 link speed. Worked with MSI tech who reviewed all my settings and finally suggested I return it to MSI directly instead of Amazon to receive a new tested and sealed replacement.

At this point, I returned it to Amazon for a refund and purchased a different brand that I have had a lot of success with. MSI support was friendly and helpful at all times and did try to make the best of a bad situation, but I had lost confidence in the product.
