Black and White Mobo

[shizno897]

So I'll be starting a new build in the next few months and was going to do a black and white themed build. I was just wondering if there was any black and white intel motherboards out there. I'm aware of the MSI Krait, but since that doesn't have a release date yet, I wanted to see if there were any other options. Chipset is just any z87/97 board. Thanks in advance.

X99 Deluxe for Enthusiast platform

The closest on Z87/97 from what I can recall is either the evga z97 board or the gigabyte Z87 ud3h, unless you get the asus sabretooth and plasti dip the thermal armour.

It's a shame we still don't have the asus sabranco yet, as they're fully white motherboards.

IIRC Asus has an X99 board with black/white colour scheme.

I'd love to use Deluxe, but I don't have the money to go for an X99 build. I would if DDR4 wasn't so expensive, though.

That EVGA board is actually pretty nice. I might be able to paint some of it to give it some accents. And I would go with the sabretooth if it wasn't for the ugly brown. I know it's being a bit picky, but I can't stand it. Thanks for the suggestions. I might just go with the evga.

Just another one to throw into the mix, but the MSI gaming boards, their heatsinks could be unscrewed/taped over and plasti dipped as well. Just another idea. Also,don't paint it. Use platidip, as if it goes wrong you can just peel it off and start again.

Oh OK, thanks! I was actually considering that last night, because I knew the Mpower board was a popular to mod, but it completely slipped my mind. It'd also be quite a bit cheaper. And thanks for the plastidip tip.

Find a board you like,

take heatsinks off

plastidip them

Asus Sabertooth and paint the shield white?

If you really feel energetic about your theme, you could always find a board that has the features you want and you could Paint the off color areas.

There was a z97 sabranco (z97 sabertooth) floating around but I don't think they ever released it
