Motherboard
Intel’s next generation Skylake processors are here, ushering in a new era of motherboards dedicated to squeezing every bit of performance out of the microarchitecture. MSI’s already bearing down on the hype with the new Z170 Enthusiast Gaming motherboard, and as its name suggests, it’s jam-packed with features enough to court even the most hardcore users. Not only does it strut the Z170 chipset for stable overclocks, it also features mainstream DDR4 support, Twin Turbo M.2 interface for 64GB/s data access speeds, Audio Boost 3 and Nahimic Audio for immersive in-game sounds, Steel Armor reinforced PCI-e slots, and USB 3.1 ports. Other features like BIOS Flashback, Gaming Hotkey, Gaming LAN, and Military Class 5 components all ensure performance never before seen in the consumer market.
