MSI sent along a number of pictures of their upcoming motherboards and there are more than a few of them. All the pictures are quite large, make sure to click on the ones that interest you as you will be able to make out quite a bit of detail.
First is the B150M Mortar Arctic with clean traces, Steel Armor and Crossfire support.
Next up is the workstation class C236M with 10GbE ethernet and the Intel C236 chipset.
Next is another motherboard designed to pull its weight, the X99A Workstation has dual Gigabit LAN and support for 8 ECC DIMMs
We now return to the enthusiast class motherboards with the Z170 MPower Gaming Titanium with U.2, M.2 and USB 3.1 Type-C ports.
You can also chose an X99 flavoured MPower Gaming Titanium, sharing the same features as the Z170.
The X99A Gaming Pro Carbon sports a different colour scheme and includes the Mystic Light feature to let you program your own light show.
Moving away from Intel for a moment, check out the 970A Gaming Pro Carbon for AMD AM3+ processors.

It’s as easy of a mistake to make (and as common) as “mute” vs “moot”.
I can’t help but laugh whenever I see a comment debate going on where one tells another that their point is mute.

Spelling is hard. Jumping in with a snide (anonymous) comment, and sourcing none other than "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit", is easy!
I was thinking something
I was thinking something along those lines. A journalist works hard to put a piece together for his readers and in the process happens to make an honest, innocent spelling mistake… and bam – someone points it out and suddenly all that work counts for nothing.
Look guys – it’s really simple – unless absolutely warranted if you don’t have anything nice to say just don’t say anything.

I had a mobo catch fire because of their shoddy engineering. Rather than replacing a board that had failed catastrophically, they ran me around in circles then offered me a $70 check for a mobo that’d sell for $250 used on ebay if it hadn’t caught fire.
They screwed me, they’ll screw you.
WHY THE FUCK does a B150
WHY THE FUCK does a B150 board have the coolest paintjob on any motherboard ever?
So they got rid of the all
So they got rid of the all black scheme on x99. At least gigabyte is stepping up with good looking motherboards for broadwell.
I had only bad experience
I had only bad experience with MSI boards. Putting that aside I have to make LOL comment about WS X99. WTH they thinking. 3 x16 slots PCIe. Sure that’s enough for “Word workstation”, but hardly useful at anything more serious. Give me a break, 3 x16 slots on a E-ATX format? That’s beyond dumb. No multiple SFF-8639 connectors, no built-in RAID controller, nothing to offset lack of connectivity via PCIe. Brain fart kind of motherboard.

That Kaby Lake board at the
That Kaby Lake board at the end looks a lot like their Z170A GAMING M7 but with nicer black heatsinks and some ugly reg graphics around the pcb.
What, you don’t want all the
What, you don’t want all the parts in your computer to have the aesthetic of Vin Diesel’s tattoos? I bet you run something stupid like a Supermicro X10SAE in a case that doesn’t even have a window. You need to upgrade to a Gigabyte X170-Extreme ECC and get some camo in your rig, bro!
On the Z170A MPOWER Gaming
On the Z170A MPOWER Gaming Titanium, what’s that silver backplate co
vering the back of the motherboard.
