MSI X299 Motherboards
MSI has a mighty range of new motherboards on show here at Computex 2017. Of course, there are quite a few chipsets on display here, but our main focus is on the brand new X299 chipsets. Of course, these are going to offer support for the upcoming Intel Core i9 CPUs.
X299 XPOWER GAMING AC
Equipped with all the high-end features you could ask for, the XPOWER GAMING AC comes equipped with robust power delivery and cooling hardware for advanced overclocking. There’s support for 3 x M.2 drives, with M.2 Shield Armour. You’ll even get a PCI-E expansion card to mount two more! There’s dual Killer Gigabit, and Killer 1535 Wi-Fi on board too.
X299 TOMAHAWK
Kitted out with stainless steel heatsinks and armour, this is one awesome looking motherboard. It features M.2, U.2, Type-C, VR Boost, and much more. We can see this being a popular choice based on aesthetics alone.
X299 GAMING M7 ACK
This boards not exactly hard on the eye either. It features a powerful 10+1+1 power delivery, Loadline Calibration and more, allowing you to hit high overclocks for your workstation or gaming system. It also features their new M.2 Shield Frozr hardware. Dual ethernet and 1535 Wi-Fi is also built-in.
X299 SLI PLUS
As the name would suggest, this motherboard is ready to rock when it comes to high-end gaming PCs. It has dual armored PCI-E slots, dual M.2 drive mounts, robust overclocking features, and a stunning black design with LED highlights.
Prices
No word on price or release date just yet. All we know is that they’re coming very soon. Obviously, they’ll most likely launch the same day as the new Intel CPUs do. But we have to be all hush-hush, NDA this, NDA that. We’ll update you as soon as we can say more, so stay tuned.
