Interesting features, although they may have somewhat limited usage. Still pretty cool that they're trying to differentiate themselves from the all the other "exciting" X99 motherboard reveals

Very interesting, I like that usb 2.0 also even if you have a computer case you can hid a usb stick in there lol.

I like that 32GB of bandwith for the M.2, but my question is will m.2 SSDs use more than 10GB/s?

 

[epobirs]

I rather doubt that MSI would bother if M.2 devices that took advantage of the greater bandwidth weren't in the pipeline. It is part of the spec after all.

 

[epobirs]

There are some shipping products that use M.2 with with PCI-e x4 but they live on their own PCI-e cards since there were no shipping motherboards with an x4 M.2 slot at the time. They also tend to be sold to OEMs only for the moment. But once the newer chipsets are well established that should change.

32Gb/s

No, because they are limited to 4GB/s.

when is m.2 sata coming out all this big hype yet i never see any of them on any websites.

The streaming engine really peaks my curiosity. I personally don't stream or capture gameplay (I am not that good), but with the rise of twitch this might be a great investment for those guys. Don't have to bother with the capture card anymore, there is one right on the motherboard.
