  • Attractive design, Competitive pricing, Debug LED with temperature display, M.2 support and six SATA 6Gbps, CrossFire and SLI capabilities, Wellstocked BIOS
  • SATA Express is an optional extra, Lacks DisplayPort output
  • With Intel's Haswell Refresh processors rumoured to be in line for a June 2014 launch, enthusiasts have been handed Z97 as the accompanying chipset of choice. Armed with improved storage possibilities, Z97 is a minor upgrade over Z87 yet retains all of t...

  • Excelente sonido, Componentes de alta calidad, Soporte a 2-way CrossfireX y 2-way SLI, Gran cantidad de software, Bios muy sencilla de utilizar, Soporta memorias de 3300MHz,
  • No soporta Sata Express, la principal novedad del chipset Z97, Premio
  • Armado con mejores posibilidades de almacenamiento, Z97 es una actualización menor de Z87, y todavía conserva toda la bondad y disposición de la plataforma Haswell. MSI ha tomado su fórmula gamer, la cual viene muy bien, y la aplicó a su nueva linea Z97 d...
