    Too flashy for my taste, but my windowless case could handle that :)

    I think I like MSI's boards the best out of the new Z97 lineup.

    Simply outstanding looks wise!

    Finally they put an EMI shield over the Audio chip!!!

    My current Z87-GD65 GAMING board suffers from some pretty bad interference when using the on board sound chip. I just disabled it in BIOS and use my Soundblaster Z card and its perfect.

    Yes, worst onboard soundcard I have EVER had, simply unusable.
    I can only :bang: when reading the "review" sites "testing" the audio quality without any load on cpu/gpu/memory.
    Example:

    I became a fan of MSI mobos ever since I built my current rig 2 years ago, clean reliable design, dual bios, great pcie spacing, OC friendly (I too have the "OC genie" button, which is a nice stable small OC if you don't want to bother with more, I even use it myself for several months now)... and the looks, well this one looks freaking awesome.

    Honestly, if I didn't already have what I have now, I would get this in an instant, and pair it with a future "gaming" line MSI video card which has the same color pattern, but I can't be arsed to build it, for like 5-10% performance bump max compared to my current setup, it's just too much of a hassle, but it would certainly LOOK a lot better.

    Have been using them for years and rarely even look at anything else.
