Together with the first Skylake 6th generation processors, Intel also introduced a brand new Z170 chipset. And that's the brain of the perfect motherboard MSI Z170A Gaming M5, which is designed especially for more demanding users. With its capabilities, it is the ideal choice for creating powerful game assemblies that can be used to play games as well as to work with demanding multimedia content.
The MSI Z170A Gaming M5 is equipped with a LGA 1151 socket, in which the 14nm Skylake processors will provide ultimate performance. It does not even settle for basic memory slots. Here is a clear transition to a more modern version in the form of DDR4 at the base frequency 2400 MHz. However, overclocking is supported up to 3600 MHz. This is especially great news for experienced overlockers. You will also appreciate the exceptional design of the entire PCB, which is also very functional. The system of high-quality passive coolers will ensure very good operating conditions even in demanding applications. This board will simply allow you to go to the edge of overclocking.
PCI Express 3.0 slots are used to plug in graphics cards. When using CrossFireX or SLI cards, you get the chance to enjoy the graphical resolution of your most up-to-date games. MSI Steel Armor has more and better bonded points that guarantee greater durability while protecting against electromagnetic interference for a carefree gaming experience.
The current SATA Express ports , as well as the recently-searched M.2 interface, are great for connecting the latest generation SSD. External drives will enjoy high speeds thanks to the presence of the second-generation USB 3.1, boasting massive acceleration over the 2.0 generation. The requested files are transferred up to 20 times faster.
Even the sound side does not stand side by side and is proud of NAHIMIC technology. It is still used in the army and aerospace industries. The computer world brings bass highlighting, the clarity of even the slightest sounds, but also the superior sound quality of the studio while streaming over the Internet.
