welcome back to harbor on box for more Computex 2017 coverage today I checked out the msi booth and found some very impressive looking motherboards before we get to that though a big THANK YOU to msi for making it possible for me to attend the event this year if you're in the market for new Intel motherboard check out their x99 z2 70 and h2 70 motherboards right now MSI is offering a free you play game key for any new purchase link is in the video description MSI promise that have some cool new products for me to check out so without wasting any time today I made a beeline for their booth and what an impressive display I found I spent over an hour checking out the harbour on display and honestly I don't think I managed to film everything there that said what I did manage to film with some very impressive shiny new motherboards dotting the yet to be released Intel X 299 chipset the first board I happened upon was the X 299 gaming Pro carbon ACC like all X 299 board that will feature full support for Intel's Core X series of processors which includes an 18 core sky like X processor as well as KB Lake X quad cores as you can see the gaming Pro carbon a/c features a mostly black design with a few silver highlights look very nice and this means it should suit most builds very well the board was surprisingly light on cooling no particularly given it includes a 10 plus one plus one power phase design offering features such as load line calibration and MSI's turbo socket the CPU is also fed additional power via an 8 pin plus a 4 pin power connector so I imagine will be more than enough power delivery for maximum overclocking Headroom there's no shortage of Tim slots either in total there's 8 ddr4 dimm slots allowing for a maximum memory capacity of 128 gigabyte there's a reasonable amount of storage options as well in total I spotted 8 SATA 6 gigabits per second ports are u dot 2 port and a pair of em 2 slots of course there's a lot more to talk about but I'll save that for the official review before moving on though I did find another X 299 gaming Pro carbon AC board and this one was fitted with a very impressive looking water block from ek the idea here was to design a block that ties in with the motherboard design rather than create a more traditional looking square or rectangular water block so ek is created an aggressive looking water block for mo size X 299 boards and I have to say it does the board justice the small port window is also very cool as well anyway it's a really cool looking motherboard and I'm very keen to get my hands on one for a review soon so take the hint MSI hey let's move on and see what else we could find there were some other exciting looking MSI X 299 boards as well such as the X power gaming AC and tomahawk alongside those boards I also spotted the new Z 270 godlike gaming and that's a seriously beefy looking Z 270 board for those of you interested in something that's still very flashy but much more affordable the be 350 tomahawk Arctic may be of interest this board would be a great pairing with the risin 5 1600 priced at 120 dollars u.s. it's certainly one of the pricier be 350 boards but hey just look at the thing if you're wondering what the tomahawk Arctic looks like Anna build and check this out here we have a fantastic white theme to build supporting the Rison v 1600 processor 32 gigabytes of hyper X white memory and MSI's rx 580 a graphics card displaying all this hardware was a modified in win 303 and what an eye-catching build it was but hey if why it's not your thing then perhaps a PC that blends in with a more temperate climate will entice that is assuming your game outside here we have a system featuring MSI's new camera themed hardware on display is these ed 270 camera squad motherboard and GTX 1060 cameras quad graphics card like all things it won't appeal to everyone but I thought it made for a pretty unique looking gaming system getting back to the AMD AM for hardware I came across the X 370 gaming Pro carbon AC which is a relatively new model supporting wireless AC networking support out of the box but before I got a chance to have a closer look at the board and check out that wireless AC module my msi contact shuffled me along to this board now what we have here is a brand new motherboard the x3 70 gaming m7 this board utilizes a dedicated clock generator along with ddr4 boost and game boost MSI tells me that these features maximize the board's overclocking potential allowing for higher CPU and memory over clocks something that really caught my eye was a strange-looking heatsink on the bottom of the board to me it look like it was covering the m2 slots so was this some kind of upgraded m2 shield well it turns out that's exactly what it is once you remove the pair of M 2 screws the heatsink seems to lever up on what must be a hinge and this allows the user to install one or two m2 drives in what msi calls the twin turbo m2 ports once the drives are slotted into place the heatsink simply clamps down on top of them MSI claims this improves thermal performance and protects against EMI interference once again I'm pretty keen to put their claims to the test on a final note that board is built with military Class six components and uses an enhanced 13 phase power design so yeah should be an overclocking powerhouse overall MSI's new X 370 gaming Pro carbon a/c looks great and well you can add that to the growing list of new products I want to review when I get back from Computex well it's been a busy down the showroom floor and this is just a small sample of what I've seen so far so expect much more coverage MSI also had some really cool desktop systems and graphics cards on display but I'll feature them in a separate video soon I wanted to get at least one video online today for you guys to enjoy I also checked out a massive range of new and exciting products from Aero cool as well as some affordable new cases and cooling products from deep cool so keep on out for those videos as well as it is I'll end up editing quite late tonight but I hope to hit the showroom floor again tomorrow after a bit of a sleep in all right guys that's going to do it for this one I'm your host Steve hope you enjoying the coverage so far and I'll see you again soon you
