Mini-ITX motherboards are fashionable these days amongst enthusiasts, we’ve seen ones from EVGA and ASUS that pack impressive VRMs into such a small space. Now MSI is taking its turn at the Z77 mini-ITX market too.

The Z77IA-E53 is a Z77 based LGA 1155 motherboard supporting Sandy and Ivy Bridge processors. However, its small mini-ITX size hasn’t stopped MSI cramming in a tonne of features. Like integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi as well as support for up to 2800MHz memory supported by the new Ivy Bridge architecture.

PCI Express Gen 3 is included, vital if you’re going to be installing a dual GPU into the single PCI Express 3.0 16X lane. MSI has included the OC Genie II overclocking feature for the beginner-overclocker. THX TruStudioPro audio is provided for the SPDIF audio connector. HDMI and VGA provided display outputs for the iGPU on the Sandy or Ivy Bridge processors.USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and eSATA ports make up the storage connectivity.

As expected the motherboard will be full Windows 8 ready.
