5 Comments on MSI Also Announces H170 and B150 Based Gaming Series Motherboards
Way too much PCI (one for old Audiocards etc is ok, but three?), upright SATA-Ports, VGA and DVI instead of Displayport, no USB Type-C as far as I see an generally crappy layout.
Just for some better audio with software enhancements an voodoo-LAN with cheating-software I wouldn't choose those boards over any Z170 and miss the chance for painless OCing.
