Spy pictures from TechPowerUP’s coverage of Computex have revealed MSI’s upcoming Threadripper motherboard.

Yes, despite being a refresh, it is still called X399.

it clams a 19 phase power delivery (most likely a 8+3 phase with 2 sets of components each like they usually do; or a doubled 8 phase (8x2) since there is no 19 phase controller on the planet) which is massive overkill probably even for a 32-core Threadripper if AMD will release one. It has a very, very unique design which is a love-it or hate-it deal. It has minimal RGB which to me is a good thing but for others might be bad. IO wise:

Not sure if there is 10gb Ethernet though. This board also claims to have StoreMI integrated as it is technically a X399 "refresh".

 

 

Bonus: MSi has also teased a B450 board which is spotted by tweaktown:

That is so far the new motherboards at computex that I'm aware. Expect more b450/Z490/Z390/X399 boards for the upcoming days.

They just waved a paint brush all over the blueprints while drunk when they designed the metal decorative bits.

Hardware seems good though

I'm betting M.2 Heat spreaders.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

Dear MSI. If you want to make an ugly motherboard, using generic green PCB is usually enough and cheaper.

 

But some of the features are nice I guess.

I hope the VRMs are amazing with that "heatsink".
