MSI X99S SLI Plus

Just saw this on OC3D, so I figured I'd share it with everyone here too. Pretty much just a picture, but holy crap this board is super sexy. Hope more pure black boards like this come around.

why does it remind me of the Rampage Black

Looks badass.

Well, it does looks somewhat similar in terms of layout and colouring, but I much prefer this one. The Rampage Black still has a lot of little bits that aren't black, whereas this seems to be entirely black. Just kind of wished they had an I/O cover thing, they seem to be popular with board makers recently, I think it makes them much cleaner.

With nicely sleeved cables, I would say the connecter like this is better. With a right angled one, you barely see the cables, but with this you can get a nice curve to them.

I like it 90Degree 24 pins should be on lower end boards higher end boards like this should have right up 24pins to show off custom and/or nice premade sleeved cables

Well, I'll admit that it can look much cleaner in some cases, in that picture it just looks really messy. The cables are all out of line and come in from a weird place. 

 

Not the best picture to show it, but I much prefer them like this

So to justify a right angle connector you have to worsten your cable management and it still looks horrible? honestly with the way it's fanning out and everything I think I'll pass

[dragoon20005]

will be interesting to see a full blackout build

 

everything shall be dark...

[daemonowner]

Sick. I would really like something that looks like this for Socket 1150.

I hate the fact that the first pcie slot is gone due to the longer ram slots...

 

cant they just put the ram slots a little higher?

[Phoenix70]

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) sexyyyy

You can show off a nice wide loop (if you have custom sleeved cables) with the 24 pin standing up like this.

A graphics card would still fit fine though as the pcb is the highest part on the card and everything hangs below it.

sure, but I meant that there are only 6 pci slots, because the ram slots take up the room for the 7th.

Finally... A decent monochrome board

[rentaspoon]

TBH I thought this might of been a 990FX board when I first saw it since MSI just released a 970 gaming board

£10 says the IO isn't black

Love the innuendos of MSI's tweet

[juretrn]

Looks like a top of the line board.

[AfroLedgend]

Can't wait to see EVGA's X99 Dark

[VSG]

Looks like a top of the line board.

It's not. Closer to mid range actually.

[Najuno]

I like the style of it but I will wait for the X99 Rampage version from Asus, since I stick with Asus when it comes to mainboards already for a long time.

 

But I guess this will be a very nice alternative .

[X1XNobleX1X]

Now Asus, please leak the Rampage V extreme!

Thanks!

[Kukielka]

Since there are "only" 6 pcie slots, no more 4-way sli/cfx configurations for atx/eatx board? That sucks.

 

EDIT: Wait a sec... EVGA managed to throw 7 pcie slots on there.
