Review: MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard
Let's check out another Ryzen Threadripper motherboard. We review the one from MSI as they have released their X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC. The board is stylish, comes with very subtle LED effects and obviously offers everything you need from quadruple x16 PCI-Express slots, triple M2 SSD slots, quad-channel memory and some really supreme AC WIFI.

Great review Sir!
On a side note, I wanted to know: are the 3 m.2 slots linked directly to cpu pcie lanes, or are they through chipset?
These are connected directly to the processor IO lanes.

you sir, are a mind reader (or especially thorough in reading the forum)
i was thinking of the aorus x399 gaming 7, until the news regarding it's x370 brother. and added that to all the ... recent reports of gigabyte doing things they maybe shouldn't - and thought better.
you were right (again) about that sexy Aquantia 10Gb/s ethernet chip.
also, MSI x399 Pro CarbonAC is $349, not $449. it comes in less expensive than either the Asrock x399 Taichi or the Aorus x399 Gaming 7 by twenty or so dollar.
i'm about to pull the trigger on the threadripper 1900x, so these are the most recent prices (Fry's, Amazon, New Egg, etc..)
thank you so much for the timely (and comprehensive) reviews. you really help a brotha out.

Review: MSI X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard
Awesome review as always Hilbert, thank you. This is the mobo I have picked for my Threadripper build.
Just a quick question, any news on when the NVMe bios update for RAID will be rolling out for this mobo and other X399s? Is it still Sept 25th?

Yes that will be the 25th. However I am not sure the board partners will roll it out at that date as well. It is likely though.
