2017-01-05
CES 2017 coverage is brought to you by MSI and the new Z 270 chipset and by EVGA our trusted graphics card partner what's up guys JC sends here and I am at the MSI showroom here at the Venetian and we are taking a look at a lot of new motherboards so there's a lot that we could possibly talk about the motherboard we've got a new series of motherboards here this is their M series and we're actually taking a look on the channel here when I get back from CVS the new m7 motherboard here which has some amazing features on there 3m 2's on there there actually have a heatsink that you can put on your m2 that's gonna help keep it cool if you're use it as a main drive it can keep the temperatures down which will keep the speeds up it's got two audio codecs on here so now for the first time you can actually have simultaneous control over gaming audio and multimedia or htpc audio whatever you want to call it so that you can have a codec designed for whichever purpose it's going to be and you can listen to both of those codecs simultaneously with multiple headphones front and rear onboard audio is one of those things a lot of people just kind of write off as being useless but that's not the case anymore they also want with a very spaceship design here that was the entire design concept on this with sort of a spaceship maybe it's you think maybe it's not but it's actually pretty nice with the RGB lights it's always going to match whatever aesthetic you're going for now moving down up down the line a little bit here we have the gaming series as you'd expect to designed for gamers but it's got all the features that you need SLI crossfire support multiple m2 s obviously nvme support it's got cooling in mind because long gaming sessions put good loads and your motherboards can get nice and hot so they've got big heat sinks on all of these motherboards here and of course here we had our gaming series or Arsenal series here where this is this that's where I think most of you were gonna fall right there you don't have a lot of money to spend on the motherboard but you don't want to sacrifice the features and that's the game you play when you're shopping for a motherboard but MSI's thought ahead here that giving you again all the features you'd expect but not stripped down you've got multiple chipsets here they're going to meet whatever your price range is going to be but also to maybe you're like you do a lot of pro creativity you do a lot of workstation stuff but you also are a gamer so you get the pro series here which gives you everything that you could possibly need depending on what type of system you're building that's going to give you all the features you'd expect that kind of meet both of those worlds so it's kind of enough compromises gaming and workstation compatible motherboard multiple chipsets once again here b250 I Pro and two different Z 270 options there okay graphics cards guys unfortunately there is no 1080 T I know that's what you guys were really hoping that Nvidia was going to talk about at their keynote but no so grab its cards there's not really a whole lot new to talk about here they do have the Silver Edition which came out actually in October of last year one of the issues people have but the graphics was they're amazing cards the coolers on them are very very good I mean I would call them amongst the best graphics coolers that you can get with the twin 406 the problem is they're a whole red and black which unfortunately unless you're building a red and black theme kind of clashes with a lot of things so that's why they've got this the Silver Edition which it came out with last October so that kind of fits a lot more aesthetics actually looks really good with any of their X power and power stuff the titanium series stuff so unfortunately not a lot to talk about with graphics cards so this is going to be one that we're gonna have to unfortunately just wait and see things we took a look at here we will be doing some in-depth reviews and hands-on stuff back at the studio after the show everything I've showed you here so far though we're looking at a Q 1 2017 launch so as always with CES we get to see this stuff early you got away a little bit to see what actually comes market maybe once again a huge thank you to my supporters for this trip MSI's course is my official motherboard partner for CES 2017 and they VGA once again for sending us here our trust and graphics partner alright guys lots don't go anywhere I know your your sub boxes are exploding but trust me it's worth it see you the next one
