From the manufacturer
Optimized Multi GPU Support
With a large number of PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots for every MSI motherboard, you get to choose optimal placement for your graphics cards for better fitting and airflow up to Quad SLI/CF. That way, you can enjoy the best graphics at the highest framerate jumping off from your screen when running a NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire setup.
Advanced DDR4 Boost
With traditional memory design the memory signals are often distorted by electromagnetic signals from other components, making the system perform slower or become unstable. MSI introduces DDR4 Boost technology with optimized traces and fully isolated memory circuitry. This design ensures the memory signals stay pure for optimal performance and stability.

My one complaint - I really wish someone other than Gigabyte made some Thunderbolt3 boards. This computer has an AMD Fury Nano right now, but this graphics card will soon be used in conjunction with a Razer Blade Stealth laptop, and I really need a way to connect this desktop to a Razer Core external GPU so I can share the GPU between the desktop and the laptop. For now, there's no Thunderbolt 3 cards, so it's just a waiting game. Not docking the board for that, because it didn't advertise it, but it's a bit frustrating that outside of Gigabyte I didn't really even have any choices available.
I then proceeded to test the board using my old RAM and still, "NO SIGNAL." I finally decided to take off the i7 Kaby Lake chip and us my i5 Skylake chip. The PC booted up with no problems. As soon as it booted up, I hopped online to find out that this particular motherboard needs a firmware update before you can use the current generation of Intel Core CPUs. Totally disappointed that a whole day went to waste on this. I'm going to bed while the thing updates. I'm hoping that tomorrow, the Kaby Lake chip will run on it.
I'll only by from Amazon proper and not one of these side companies again. When you buy through Amazon, you know you're going to get a quality product shipped correctly.

Il prodotto invece (il secondo almeno) è perfetto: grande quantità di ingressi, un design accattivante (altre che quelle MB piene di colori che ti fanno passare la voglia di comprarle) e con un prezzi di gran lunga inferiore a schede di pari livello con la dicitura Gaming nel nome ma con prestazioni identiche. Consigliatissima.
