Colorful Previews iGame200 Motherboard Design and Features

Colorful has released more details on their upcoming iGame200 series of motherboards. Obviously, the new boards are set to feature support for the Intel LGA1151 series of Kaby Lake CPUs, but more importantly to most, the new Z270 chipset.

The preview doesn’t give a huge amount of details away, and we don’t even have particularly great images of the board either. Beyond what’s listed below, most of what we do know is what we can see, with armour on the boards rear I/O as well as around almost the whole board! There’s a few red highlights too, which appear to be LED lit and we’re guessing there’s still M.2 slots above and below the PCIe slots.

We can see some gold capacitors in the bottom left too, suggestions a focus on high-end audio perfect. For all that armour, however, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of VRM cooling around the CPU, so we’re eager to see what overclocking options this board will offer. Is it all show and no go? We shall see.
