    No. Unless nothing else in life makes you happy except spending money on ridiculously priced hardware, then go for it

    If I was paying $1300 for a motherboard, I definitely would not be getting the Intel version this generation.

      If you pay 1.3k for a motherboard, you’re into Extreme OC (or extremely dumb), and probably don’t really care that they’re worse than AMD for gaming or whatever. At 7.5GHz the only thing you’re running is probably CPU-Z to validate your score.

        If you’re into extreme OC you won’t buy board with 4 DIMM slots in the first place

        It’s because high end Intel chips have been eating themselves, not because x3d chips are better for gaming…

          That’s the last two generations. Still doesn’t change that Extreme Overclockers don’t care about that, and have OCd them to 9GHz.

    MSI’s EZ Bridge consolidates multiple headers and connectors into a single area. With all headers on one side, it creates a more organized cluster of cables, as opposed to having them scattered across the board

    I do like that but god damn I’m not paying that much for the luxury

    I’m not against Godlike for existing, I don’t know who’s using it. Is it only overclockers who use liquid nitrogen for cooling?
