Motherboards/AMD AM4 by stefan @ 2017-04-15

X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium AM4 is a very capable motherboard from MSI, which can handle the latest Ryzen 7 CPUs overclocking with ease, while packing a ton of other features. The board comes with a unique white PCB which is covered with a metallic paint coating (hence the “Titanium” naming), while the other connectors/slots/heatsinks do follow the modern design lines.

Packaging, A Closer Look Part I

One of the high-end AMD AM4 boards we will review separately in this article is the MSI X370 Xpower Gaming Titanium which is packed with plenty of features, but also looks rather cool thanks to the metallic theme coating. This particular motherboard will be tested again along with the Ryzen 7 1700 CPU, in order to see if can raise the frequency even further from inside the UEFI and check out the new performance scores.

 

The product does ship inside a large cardboard enclosure, which does feature the same silver theme as the motherboard itself; a quick look at the frontal packaging area does reveal how the board does look in more detail:

Let’s look at the board accessories first! The manufacturer does supply no less than six silver SATA cables, the I/O shield, a LED strip extension cable, one HB SLI bridge but also some cable stickers:

 

 

 

On the I/O we can see some interesting features such the BIOS Flashback USB port indicator, but also a VR-Ready port:

 

 

 

Documentation is also supplied with this board such as a leaflet with the main board components explained in detail, one Quick Installation Guide, a product registration leaflet, the main product manual, a disk with drivers and utilities, but also a cool looking sticker!
