MSI Announces the Z270 Gaming M6 AC Motherboard

What's wrong with it?

I just don't need pointless, flashy, gimmicky crap on my motherboard.
Why are there random bits of plastic on the board? Why does the heatsinks have to have RGB LEDs? Why would I want a "free" RGB LED strip? All of this crap just adds cost, but no real value to the product, nor any practical functionality. My PC is a functional machine that sits under my desk, I never take it out of the house, i only look at it when I power it one or plug something in/out, otherwise I don't see the machine. Admittedly this isn't as bad as their latest stuff with camouflage patters all over them, but it's clear that these boards have been designed more by the marketing department than the engineering department.

considering it doesn't take anothing above a decent motherboard to overclock intel, they can focus on all the flash that many people actually want (not me!!!!!!). That said, this is actually a quite subdued LED implementation compared to most out now...
