2018-06-04
just quickly before we get in today's video a big thank you to our sponsors for supporting this year's Computex coverage check out course has fancy new vengeance RGB memory and if you're after a new rig that won't send you broke MSI's got you covered check out the latest msi gaming pc setups and learn how you can build an incredible new gaming rig that's light on your wallet make sure you check out the link below in the video description welcome back to harbor unbox today we are at the msi booth and they have some p450 boards for us we also have an amazing-looking X 399 bought so I'm going to show that to you guys few other cool things so let's go check it out first off at the msi booth is the be 450 motherboards we have the be 450 tomahawk and the be 450 a pro both of these boards have a four plus two vrm and we are we don't know what to expect in terms of performance so next month July 31st is when we will be able to do reviews on these boards but we are expecting a refined board design obviously refined by us so we'll be able to take advantage of the Samsung video memory will tighten up those sub timings and show you guys how they perform next month msi told us that although they only had to be 450 boards on display at Computex we can expect a full range of boards to be available soon as I mentioned earlier these boards do only include a 4 + 2 V arm so that means you really only want to be overclocking the six core and lower end horizon parts but we imagine if you're serious about overclocking the horizon 7 parts you'll probably get your hands on a new x4 70 board such as the x4 78 gaming Pro carbon which was also on display well we are expecting improved buyer support for the B 450 boards a big advantage is the fact that all these models will support second generalise and CPUs right out of the box and actually having said that going forward support for all future CPUs without the correct BIOS won't be an issue with any MSI be 450 board as they all include a BIOS flash button on the i/o panel that will allow the user to update the boss without requiring a CPU at all again msi says that this feature will be supported by all their be 450 boards even the absolute cheapest models and imagine this will become a standard msi feature going forward so that's just amazing news and I like to think that my AMD superior compatible the rant video had some influence here but I'm probably giving myself too much credit so let's just shuffle all along and also on display alongside the be 450 mother words we have found the new Mac 2 graphics cards we have the RX 580 model and the RX 570 model so MSI aren't telling us what happened to the original mech we don't know why they've gone straight to mech - but that's fine so the mech 2 has their talks fans so we've got the talks 2.0 fans they say it's the same cooling and everything they had from the previous version they were using so it's just now under the Mac - branding okay so what we have here is probably the most insane X 399 board on the market it is the new MSI X 399 creation it has a nineteen phase vrm you can put 7m 2 drives 3 go on the board and then there's an expansion card for another 4 and they all work at full speed so great for content creators loads of storage performance there and here's a look at the m2 storage expansion card that will be bundled with the x3 node and creation motherboard MSI calls it the expander arrow and it's a PCIe x 16 card that supports an additional 4 m2 nvme SSDs which are cooled by a large aluminium heatsink with active cooling essentially it looks like a mini ITX graphics card so that's pretty cool one thing's for sure I'm really gonna need to stock up on m2 drives so I can test this thing out later in the very excited about that of course the x3 99 creation packs loads of other features the i/o panel alone includes 10 USB ports and there is a type C port there for Gen 2 3.1 ports so just loads of USB ports you also get dual Gigabit LAN using intel controllers and Intel 90 260 modules supporting 802 11 AC Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 MSI is also included a clear CMOS switch here which is very handy and we do get a BIOS flash back button as well so you can take advantage of that for updating to future processes on this motherboard without running into any problems as we've mentioned there's also loads of storage options in addition to those 7 me2 ports you do get 8 SATA ports as well and MSI really is targeting professionals with this board content creators in particular as the name suggests on that note it is great see an X 399 board without gaming in the title and this makes a lot more sense that said though MSI hasn't done away with some of the more fun things we do get our GB of course there's plenty of RGB lighting on the board it does look quite good so if you want to work PC that has a bit of flair then you will appreciate the extra node own creation MSI's also completely overhauled their mystic lighting software for better support and usability and this is something Tim will cover an upcoming video with some other exciting stuff like MSI's new laptops and monitors at this point we don't have any official information on the next-gen thread Ripper CPUs but MSI says that this board does support them so great to know we've got upcoming support there and I just love the look and design of this board the shattered glass themed bit crazy without there but I think it looks really good well that concludes our coverage of the MSI booth a lot of cool products really good to see some p450 boards finally really loved that x3 note on creation board cannot wait to check that out later in the especially with some 2nd gen at thread Ripper CPUs hopefully we hear about them soon so stay tuned for our coverage because we have a lot more coming at Computex 2018 see you guys next time you
