Overclocking

As the most expensive of the three mid-priced Z390 MSI motherboards we’ve reviewed this month it isn’t a huge shock that it just shaded the overclocking in terms of ease of getting up to speed and pushing the memory along at a fair old clip too. All three are easy of course, but the Gaming Carbon Pro is probably the smoothest experience.
