One of the best looking Z87 motherboards around, Performs great at stock settings – consistent, BIOS is fluid, attractive and easy to use, Lots of onboard features – GO2Bios, OC Genie etc, Military Class 4 components used throughout, Reasonably priced

MSI tomó una buena determinación en focalizar y dar fuerte con su propia serie de productos nicho, en este caso hablando de la familia de productos “Gamer Edition”. El sistema de fidelización y prototipo de usuarios al más puro estilo “ROG” sí que deja b...
