Inexpensive but high quality motherboard
MSI B360M PRO-VDH is an inexpensive but high-quality motherboard based on the B360 logic set, which belongs to the middle level. Among the features of the board, it is worth highlighting reinforced PCI-E slots to protect the graphics card from electromagnetic interference and physical damage, optimized memory module layout for more reliable memory overclocking, a utility for automatically optimizing the cooling system, and an M.2 port with support for ultra-fast NVMe drives. And 4 DDR4 slots for complete happiness.
The basis of the multimedia centre
With an $80 price tag, the MSI B360M PRO-VDH looks like an interesting option for an entry to mid-range computer. It is extremely rarely complained about on specialized forums, it has a fairly wide functional set and there are no obvious weaknesses. Unlike previous boards in this series, this model has a full-fledged HDMI output for normal connection of processors with an integrated graphics core. Given that MSI is positioning this board as a solution for a home multimedia centre, this is encouraging.
Intuitive BIOS and useful utilities
Finally, I would like to note the set of utilities that comes with the board. Usually, almost any motherboard is stuffed with this stuff, but the kit from MSI looks like one of the most thoughtful and useful. So, here you can find a full-fledged command centre for overclocking the system (but you shouldn’t count on serious overclocking), managing disks or controlling the cooling system, utilities for speeding up system boot and optimizing the bundle of drives (useful when a hybrid array of HDD and SSD is installed in the computer ). Plus, MSI managed to make one of the most understandable and user-friendly BIOS shells on the market.
