The two red texts are "Audio Boost" and "Gaming LAN." Tech Power Up is saying a Killer E2205 is equipped.

It's pretty idiotic to go through all the trouble of building a white and black board just to ruin it with two chips labelled in red. If I bought this, I'd try and scrape that text off, failing that I'd paint over it.

Since you say you can't talk about the Intel side yet, can you at least tell us when the NDA expires, i.e. when we can expect the reviews to go public? Or are NDA expiration dates also taboo per the NDA?

MSI's Z97 Gaming series kicked some serious tail outperforming many of the competition's boards costing as much as $175 more. The Krait however was a big disappointment .... had several black / white builds on hold for users but after seeing the performance results, they went another way. Hopefully this one doesn't suffer this shortcoming
