3DMark Firestrike
Straight away, the latest mini-ITX motherboard from MSI is showing its worth. It scored 23189 in 3DMark at stock, and pushed to 23862 once overclocked. Not our fastest time ever, but it’s certainly not far from the top!

PCMark 10 Express
This benchmark loves Intel CPUs, and the new 6 core 8th Gen CPUs certainly perform well. The MSI motherboard hit 6238 and 6586 once overclocked. Overall, that’s our third highest score to date!

WPrime 32M and 1024M
The good numbers just keep on rolling in, with the stock time of 107 being taken to just 100.202 once overclocked. Sure, it’s not as number crunch happy as the Ryzen or Threadripper CPUs and motherboards, but it’s pretty darn fast for a consumer mini-ITX configuration.

Cinebench R15
The increased core count, the fast memory support and Optane are all big helps for Z370, and the latest MSI motherboard had no issues hitting a respectable 1638 once overclocked. That’s one of the lower scores for Z370, but still competitive.
