RGB AUDIO!!!!!

[Matias_Chambers]

We need something different than just black and red and black and white. The same motherboard should come in different colors.

I think the m. 2 shiled is pretty neat

Too much cost.

Make it transparent and do rgb.

 

@goodtofufriday

The m.2 shield is the only thing with a actual function. As they get really hot. Amazon have adapter cards with heatsinks.

[iRileyx]

They can keep RGB, I'm just hoping they make some white z270 boards. hopefully more than the 3/4 ATX z170 boards that are available.

Hey, that M.2 shield thing is actually a really good thing.

 

Most people have no clue how hot SSD controllers (and the NAND itself) get hurting them in performance.

Hopefully the concept isn't just for show.

Still waiting for my RGB gaming printer...

[SurvivorNVL]

I'd love to use that RGB lighting in my fully enclosed Define S with no window.  I wouldn't see it, but I know it'd be a disco rave!

oh yeah bro crank up that dragonforce lol  

In all seriousness though I like the look of the new boards might get one for kaby lake/7700k gotta decode those 4k uhd blurays 

[tlink]

who actually first did the led trough pcb lighting thing on the audio isolation? i first saw it on my asus z170 pro gaming but i never saw it on anything else than asus until now (not that i paid attention to it). so im wondering who did it first.

@Thread212

 

Told you that MSI was making passive heat sinks for M.2 with their new boards.

My Gigabyte Z97x gaming 5 had it so atleast back to that generation. I would imagine there were 8 series boards with it too.

Why must everything be RGB now. I imagine all it does is inflate the cost of the MB and I would PREFER to have no flashy lights on it at all.

It's RGB, you can turn it off

Yeah but my point is I'd end up paying for something I don't want. That's easy enough if RGB doesn't end up on everything, but it seems to be common now for whatever the flagship product is to be RGB as it's the current gimmick the industry is trying to increase sales with.

There's nothing really wrong with gimmicks, if it appeals to someone, then great they got what they wanted.

Obviously there's going to be motherboards that don't have it.

Also I'm sure it doesn't cost that much to put a few little lights on a product seeing as how these are gonna be expensive (most likely) already

Let me guess. Intersil, intersil and more intersil

[NumLock21]

I added more MSI motherboards. Look at 1st post to see them.

[MrRavens]

It's pretty minor, but finaly their audio path is RGB. My white and black theme with this red light going across the bottom left of my board triggers my OCD.

[FRN]

They finally abandoned the black and red theme eh.

[Princess Luna]

I hate to admit since I don't like MSi, but those mobos are looking really good, I am very interested in seen what Asus is bringing.

[You_are_a_cunt]

Take that Gaming 7 motherboard out behind the barn and shoot it. Please.

It's about time one of them did RGB trace lighting right there.

 

My mobo has a red led path, but my color scheme was going to be orange/purple.
