The VideoCardz website explains a little more about the new MSI AMD motherboard :
The SLI Plus is clearly aiming at budget builders. By comparing SLI Plus to Carbon Pro we noticed immediately that both motherboards share the same layout, in fact, I can’t see any difference. Although there are fewer reinforced PCIe slots, there are no reinforced memory slots, there is no cover on the audio chipset and there is only one ‘shield’ for the M.2 slot. Apart from that, it’s the same motherboard
