our 2015 Computex coverage is brought to you by fantex nvidia corsair and CI x silverstone and in win make sure to support them for helping us bring this great content to you RGB lighting on a motherboard you guys knew it we knew it it was just a matter of time at Computex we stumbled upon the msi x99s gaming motherboard that seems to really have it all aside from the traditional black and red msi color scheme we are seeing motherboard manufacturers including these steel reinforcements on all the five PCI lanes for supposed long-term structural integrity of the PCI and lane so it does not Bend there's a single end or two slot for a 32 gigabyte per second transfer speed a really good built-in headphone amplifier to drive high resistance headphones with a full size 6.5 Miller headphone jack there are four USB type 8 ports killer LAN double-shot x3 pro with dual Gigabit Ethernet and built-in wireless AC for awesome my Wi-Fi connectivity and network and a single USBC type port because you cannot just not have one but to highlight one of the features that were really excited to show off is mystic light in other terms pimp your motherboard out with a selection of colors using an app controlled by a tablet connected via bluetooth for up to six motherboards so not only do you get multi color options and I'm actually glad that MSI decided to provide these options to be more compatible with user specific color scheme but you also have different modes to choose from maybe too many modes that is a bit funny to see on the motherboard we don't even get to see some of these lighting effects on keyboards and keyboards have had backlight for ages there is a breathing mode or fire mode flashing mode with white lights or the background colors still changing there's a stack mode where it looks like the colors are being stacked on top of each other there's a random mode a wave mode and the lights can be turned now do you think this is a bit too much or do you like this approach from MSI taking on the RGB trend and giving us all the lighting flexibility would ever need in the motherboard another thing is they've teamed up with bits power for this water block that spans the LGA 2011 socket and the Southbridge so in case you'd want something MSI branded all in all the x99 a god like a gaming is a seriously loaded motherboard with style and I think it's a matter of time until we see RGB implementation on the rest of the competing motherboards
