Regarding performance, this motherboard is not mucking about. Straightaway in our first benchmark it set our third highest score to date, scoring 23188 in 3dMark Firestrike at 1080p. Furthermore, it takes home the win while overclocked, hitting a very respectable 23902, our second highest score to date.

Unigine is mostly the same story, with the MSI motherboard setting our second highest score to date, with only the ASUS Z370 motherboard sitting in the lead with its freakishly high and somewhat inexplicable score. Of course, with this being a GPU bound task, once overclocked virtually every motherboard performed about the same.

The victories don’t stop there for the MSI SLI plus either, setting the third highest score again PCMark 10 Express, and maintaining one of our highest ever scores once overclocked.

The WPrime performance is a very respectable 107.6 83 seconds. Obviously not our fastest time, but keep in mind that this is a six-core processor going up against some of the extreme processor’s benchmarked over the last few months. Overclocking did bring some nice improvements again, taking it to 101.3 seconds, making it one of the quicker Z370 motherboards we’ve tested so far.

The same is true in the Cinebench benchmark, which does favour the higher core count processors. The SLI plus still set a very respectable score of 1544 at stock, and 1641 while overclocked. Of course, the coffee Lake CPUs also have the highest single core performance we’ve ever seen, and that still holds true with this motherboard.

The handbrake performance was precisely what we expected it to be. It’s on par with all the other Z370 motherboards at stock and overclocked settings.
