MSI's Haswell refresh mobos

[OhNoesItsDobby]

So looking at the recent pics of MSI's upcoming Z97 and H97 motherboards for Haswell refresh, they all look absolutely kickass in black and red, and I think I'll definitely be grabbing one for my planned build in the summer.

One thing I can't seem to find though, is whether there's a micro-ATX board included in this line-up, since I'm planning on using the 350D for the aforementioned build (and the 450D is a couple of centimetres too high for my desk. :C). Looking at the pictures, all the boards besides the mini one look like full-size ATX. Anyone know anything different?

They do look nice... but the one thing that breaks the deal for me, is that giant dragon badge

Same, I prefer the Z87 Chipset heatsink they have on their boards.

Oddly enough that's one of the things I like about them, lol. It'd go fantastically with any Twinfrozr GPU.

 

On topic, now that I think about it I'd be pretty surprised if there turns out to be no micro-ATX version at least planned for the future, it's a pretty huge gap to leave unfilled.

is this haswell refresh or haswell-e?

My guess is this Gaming 3=MITX Gaming 5=MATX Gaming 7=ATX Gaming 9= ATX (much like the G45 to the GD-65).

is this haswell refresh or haswell-e?

Haswell refresh/Broadwell

They look awesome... too bad i just bought an Z87 G45. Oh technology 

 

But i believe the performance boost won't be that noticeable between the 4th generation haswell and its refresh...

Why haven't they learned how to build a proper mITX board with the CPU Socket away from the PCIe slot????

So it turns out there is a micro-ATX board in the line up after all: http://www.legitreviews.com/msi-already-selling-intel-z97-motherboards-china-msi-z97-gaming-9-ac-flagship-board_140499

 

At least, there's a Z97M, still no mention of if they plan to do an H97M version of it too, but it's better than nothing.

 

EDIT: Actually wait, the very last picture states that they have both Z97 and H97 in all sizes. Awesome.
