With total of 10 fan connectors and 3 extension thermal headers, MEG X399 CREATION allows designers to set up a cool & silent system through automatic or manual fan controls, which means the temperature control is perfectly taken into consideration for maximum cooling.
Metal Shields & M.2 SHIELD FROZR
The exclusive Metal Shields on the heat-sink are made from metal for better protection, enlarging the thermal surface for the maximum performance! M.2 SHIELD FROZR also prevents M.2 devices from throttling and offers higher maximum SSD speeds.
MAXIMUM STORAGE
7 x Turbo M.2 with M.2 XPANDER-AERO
MEG X399 CREATION is equipped with triple Turbo M.2 with M.2 SHIELD FROZR on the board and can be expanded to 7x Turbo M.2 with another exclusive accessory can be found in the packaging: the M.2 XPANDER-AERO. This PCI-Express card offers four extra M.2 slots to increase your storage capacity at maximum speed. Featuring graphic card level thermal solution and brand new design bring the heat from M.2 to the bracket, keep your NVMe SSD cool with maximum performance.
AMD StoreMI technology
Shipped with the new AMD SSD technology 'StoreMI', and MSI's exclusive X-Boost, MEG X399 CREATION provides an optimized transfer experience. StoreMI helps create a virtual SSD by blending storage capacity, treats flash as primary storage and optimizes data access with continuous monitoring. Combined with MSI's X-Boost, transfer performance can be increased up to 10%, significantly boosting data transferring speeds.
8 x SATA plus 15 x USB ports support
With AMD Turbo USB, Front USB 3.1 gen2 Type-C and tons of USB 3.0 / 2.0, MEG X399 CREATION provides sufficient expansion ports for your multiple devices, allowing designers not to worry about ports for professional equipment.
MAXIMUM DATA TRANSFER
Dual Intel LAN with Intel Wi-Fi
Experience smooth and stable Intel networking. The MEG X399 CREATION features dual Intel gigabit LAN and dual-band Wi-Fi to deliver smooth and stable network connection that supports prioritization for applications, providing the maximum data transfer experience.
MEG X399 CREATION is tailor-made for designers and content creators, satisfying all the demanding requirements to allow them to create their own masterpiece.

And in case you didn't know, ALL your ps stuffs are belong to us, and only us. Always has, always will :Dgimme pleeeze....
Though I do actually have a 1988ish model M that still works. PS/2 only. Made better than most of the crap today, to say the least. :laugh:
It's not "grandapas old keyboard" either. My WASD CODE was made last year.
That, and model M's are still pretty epic, if we need to go there.
For overclocking PS/2 is mandatory, cause if you do Dice or LN2, you have to disable as many peripherals as possible to achieve best stability. This includes PCH USB hubs, third-party USB hubs (like that AsMedia IC), unused SATA etc.
For professionals it usually boils down to ease and cost of integration into existing infrastructure. So, if it's used for rendering, it might be connected to a KVM switch which with a legacy interface like VGA/DVI+PS/2.
For enthusiasts PS/2 is also a desired option, because USB can't offer a true NKRO, and software implementations usually suffer from increased latency: even though OEMs will shove a bunch of bullshit marketing numbers at you, like "this KB has a maximum 1000Hz polling rate", "Supports NKRO" etc., which means jack shit if your KB can't reach anywhere near that max with NKRO enabled. Whole different story with gaming mice, where raw throughput is actually more important (with some caveats, of course).
It's not super-duper critical and most people can get by without PS/2, but it should be much higher on the priority list than having a CLR_CMOS and FLASHBACK buttons on the rear IO panel and not some other spot, or more important than having a third-party USB controller for no reason at all, or cause they were too lazy to do a breakout directly from AMD chipset (x399 has two built-in Gen2 lanes and 14 Gen1 lanes).I was never a big fan of this decision either.
Let me give you a few examples from my every day life...
One of my usuals (IT company w/ 40+ employees and even more PCs) has a bunch of older Dell, BenQ and Samsung monitors, which only include VGA and DVI ports. No one wants to spend a ton of money on upgrading perfectly functional and more than adequate monitors until they die or start malfunctioning. This means that every time we buy a new PC, we have to invest into additional stuff like passive HDMI-DVI cables or active transceivers.
My other customer was also furious, when I told him that we need HDMI-VGA or DP-DVI adapters, cause his old but once very expensive KVM switch, which was doing just fine for the past 5 years, cannot be connected to those 6 Skylake workstations which we needed to prep for departure to Huawei HQ in the next 4-5 hours. They did have PS/2 ports, thankfully.
So, I had to make a quick run across the city and spend an extra $100 and 2 hours of work time, cause "old interfaces", and "compatibility" for some reason are the least prioritized aspects nowadays, even in enterprise market segment.
But then again, the amount of dice/LN2 overclockers are pretty damn small when compared to us "normal" users.
Or maybe "Damn... id like to see HER delidded temperatures..."
And then theres always "ive got a big can of duster at home... why dont you come over and ill dust off those heatsinks of yours. Dont worry ill be real gentle with your smds."
I can do this all day.:D
Real talk if any woman ever hit me with something like that, id marry her then and there.
