With the first Skylake 6th generation processors, Intel also introduced a brand new Z170 chipset. This powerful technology drives this amazing motherboard MSI Z170A Gaming M7, which was specially designed for more demanding users. With its vast capabilities, it is the ideal choice for creating powerful game assemblies that can be used to play games and work with demanding multimedia content.
The MSI Z170A Gaming M7 is equipped with a LGA 1151 socket, perfect for Skylake 14nm processors. With four memory slots, this represents a clear transition to a more modern system in the form of DDR4 at a base frequency of 2400MHz. However, overclocking is supported up to 3600MHz. This is particularly great news for experienced overclockers. Any user can appreciate the superb design of the entire PCB, which is also extremely functional. The high-quality passive cooling system ensures optimal operating conditions even running demanding applications. This board will easily take you to the edge of overclocking.
Graphics cards can be plugged into PCI Express 3.0 slots, and when using CrossFireX or SLI cards, you can enjoy the highest graphic resolution of your most up-to-date games. MSI Steel Armor has more and better bonded points that guarantee greater durability while protecting against electromagnetic interference for a carefree gaming experience.
The current SATA Express ports, as well as the recently released M.2 interface, are great for connecting the latest generation SSD. External drives will enjoy high speeds with the addition of the second-generation USB 3.1, boasting massive acceleration over the 2.0 generation. Files can be transferred up to 20 times faster.
They haven't forgotten sound quality either, thanks to NAHIMIC technology. It is used in the military and aerospace industries. It brings bass highlighting to the computer world, with superb clarity of even the quietest sounds, and also provides superior studio quality audio while online streaming.
