so guys there's a ton of cool stuff at Computex 2017 but it seems like everyone is talking about the many x $2.99 motherboards on display some of the first ones we saw were from msi and they'll have a full lineup with their Intel's upcoming high and refresh let's take a look at these crazy motherboards right at the base our coffee leg strip is brought to you by frantic schoolmaster and MSI so at the top of MSI's x2 19m Android lineup is the gaming m7 ack which is meant for people who want extreme performance and all the best features the X $2.99 platform has to offer this means native support for dual and triple graphics cards each with access to sixteen pcie 3.0 lanes but unfortunately with both AMD and NVIDIA moving away from support for more than two GPUs and crossfire or SLI the benefits of this feature are minimal for gamers however all those extra lanes lead up to some really awesome storage potential with dual end are two slots that support and DME SSDs a u2 connector and more than enough left over lanes to add even more high bandwidth devices and other than the potential for this board to become your one-stop-shop for high-end storage and graphics needs msi has built a few more features for enthusiasts so there's a brand new 10 + 1 + 1 phase power layout and MSI's turbo socket both of which should help upcoming sky like X and K me like X processors need their highest overclocking potential there's also a brand new thermal solution placed directly over each MDOT two slot we actually first saw this at CES from Asus but the latest generation high-speed and then two drives have pretty hot running controller chips so these motherboard mounted heat sinks ensure thermal throttling is eliminated while also avoiding high conflicts with add-in cards and of course this board also comes with plenty of LED illumination zones and all the cool kids on the block now have some form of illumination there's also the double shot pro technology from killer networks which allows the dual killer 2500 ethernet connector and the killer 1535 Wi-Fi adapter to work together for optimal online gameplay we've already seen this actually from previous events on motherboards and even on notebooks unfortunately the actual price of the m7 ack is unknown but don't expect it to be inexpensive next up is the option that will surely cost less than the ACK but there's plenty of things to like this is the X 299 gaming Pro carbon a/c and as a matter of fact it keeps many of the a CK's best features and adds in a few of its own as its name suggests it comes with an integrated wireless AC module for ultra quick wireless experience and as with many X to 99 motherboards we've seen at this year there's for reinforced PCI slots that can be used for double or triple graphics cards and two banks of 4 memory slots since Intel's upcoming processors will continue to support quad channel layouts there's even a pair of PCIe and the two stocks with their own cool-looking heatsink module and the usual u dot to interconnect where things get really interesting however is with the heatsink cover and some other cool accessories which can be 3d printed so MSI will have templates available for the community so all of them you know if you have a 3d printer you can just print them off and mod your motherboard on your own and the last word that we were shown this one I think is where people gravitate towards buying even though we don't have the price yet this is the X 299 tomahawk will be one of the least expensive motherboards and MSI's X 299 lineup and of course you give up on some the extra conductivity we talked about but most of the cutting edge comes from the reducing of the number of connectors rather than eliminating them altogether for example the tomahawk has a pair of reinforced PCIe slots where's the other slots don't have any of the extra steel shielding I don't think that's a big deal since most people will end up installing one or two heavy cards anyway also only one of the two end up two slots has a heatsink over it once again this is not a big deal since I'm sure a single m dot 2 or au dot to drive paired with a high-capacity hard drive will be all that people who need another nice addition is a USB 3.1 gen2 header for the front panel USB C connections and hopefully most cases will begin to add these high-speed gen2 type-c headers very soon and so that ends our time with Emma size upcoming X 299 boards what do you guys think is X 299 and inches high end processors something you guys are looking forward to are you happy enough with your current system or if you have to buy one of these motherboards which one would it be let us know in the comment section below make sure to subscribe for more complex coverage and you'll see you in the next video
