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.

Award-Winning Click BIOS 5

Explore the greatly improved, award-winning CLICK BIOS 5 and use it to tune your system to maximum performance. MSI CLICK BIOS 5 is the next generation UEFI BIOS with optimizations for Windows 10.

Turbo M.2

Delivering speeds up to 32Gb/s using Gen3 x4, Turbo M.2 is over 5 times faster than a regular SATA III connection! Enjoy a blazing fast system boot up and insanely fast loading of applications and games with MSI motherboards.

Reliable Military Class 4 Components

Dark Choke -

    Great for Beginners. But better options out there.
    4 Stars
    Great for Beginners. But better options out there.
    This is a great motherboard if you are looking to get an 17 6700k. The Kabylake series works great with this motherboard. It only has 3 slots for your fans, but if you buy those cables that allow to connect 2 fans, then you can fit a couple more fans. The Bios is pretty good, I was able to see the temperatures although they are in Celsius, I only wish that they had an option to do Fahrenheit. But so far, This is a great motherboard if you are building your first computer like I did. Although if you probably went and spent like another 100, you could easily upgrade from 6th generation to 10th generation which I wish I knew when I first built it.
