As I said I have no idea, but in my mind something is off, call it a gut feeling, and that's all I really can say about it. I'm aware it makes no sense.

They make so of the longest lasting and most reliable mobos, GPUs, laptops, and monitors.

I do quite like the X99 Krait Edition mobo they have.

I also wish they had a Krait Edition of their Zero Frozr/Twin Frozr V on at least the 390X, 980, and 980 Ti (and their future equivalents)

 

Otherwise I suppose MSI does have pretty good designs.

Similar story for what Asus has been doing specifically with X99 and Z170.

 

Another wish would be for MSI to make a Krait Edition of one of their mid range gaming laptops that aren't gaudy in their aesthetic (I.E Alienware and Asus ROG levels of angular), thickness/weight, and idealy around 15.6".

That I know to be false at least in regards to monitors and gpus, mobos idk which brand is most reliable, laptops are not really a concern to me.

I had to reload the page 3 times just to see this, worth it lol.

 

I liked Gigabyte better when they made batshit hardware:

That's pretty sexy.

 

How about the "I'm colorblind and this looks fine to me" X58 board? :P

I cannot stand gigabyte for their extreme use of text on pc parts.

 

MSI boards and graphics cards look insanely sexy and beautiful but don't really offer many if any options for non black/black, black/white, black/red builders.

Already had that in mind for an MSI GPU, at least MSI laptops have RBG keyboards so I guess all I'd really have to try to touch up would be MSI shield.

It is the bog standard "gamer" aesthetic. Black and red with aggressive angles. It really is not anything to write home about. Asus ROG does that better.

I didn't necessarily say you were. I was just commenting on one of the huge failures of the classy line. (I'm also not a fan at all of the 780ti classy personally.)

 

But the 980 classy and the z170 classy are sick as fuck.

BLUE, BLUE, BLUE. I hate red and black(with white... no words- Gigabyte). When are we going to get a blue gaming mobo?

The only good looking mobo today is X99E-WS

I actually genuinely dislike MSI's design theme. For their motherboards, graphics cards, all that sort. I also don't understand why people like xfx or evga coolers, they are literally the worst looking coolers on the market. 

 

My top brands for coolers are Zotac with their grungy metal, sapphire for strong lines and color, and powercolor's pcs+ because it looks as good as it performs...

I'm split with what I like from MSI.

 

I like:

I don't like:
