MSI Announces Z170I Gaming Pro AC Mini-ITX Motherboard
MSI has announced a new mini-ITX motherboard for Intel’s latest chipset, the Z170I Gaming Pro AC.
Pricing isn’t immediately available, but the existing Mini-ITX Z170 motherboards (EVGA and ASRock each have one) have been selling for $199 so I’d expect something in that vicinity.

Looks to me that if you’re trying to use SATA4, you’re going to have a bad time :]. Seems great otherwise, looking forward to seeing more itx builds and reviews out in the wild!

Not really an Issue, its the CPU 8 pin connector covered by the heatsink is what I’m worried about!

what so bad about msi? i sell them all the time at my store and they perform just fine.

If you’re getting a low/mid price stone without any OverClocking potential whatsoever, then they’re usually fine. But MSi’s motherboards really suck some major rat’s ass when it comes down to even slightest OverClocking above stock Turbo. Their motherboards’ BIOS also usually quite buggy (though I must admit that Gigabyte’s BIOS even worse). I dunno, we’ll see how this one does, I guess. I’ll be getting one for tests when it gets to my country. So far, I never seen a better ITX board than the ones AsRock made, their ITX mobos are simply PURRFECT, by every aspect. And I’ve tried a crapton of different mobos from different manufacturers, so I know what I’m talking about. Currently, AsRock’s ITX mobos are THE most best offering on the worldwide PC hardware market.

Looks like a good match for that little monster called the Nano. Can’t wait to see some mini rigs with that card.

If anyone can link to what he’s talking about, that would be great.
