How to choose a motherboard?Motherboard is the main part of any computer. Here's how to choose the right one for work, play and entertainment
Video reviews

Made with the mind

The MSI X299 Raider motherboard, like its predecessor X99A Raider, is made with an emphasis on functionality without overpaying for design, which makes it significantly cheaper than its counterparts. She does not have a motley colour, LED backlighting and a decorative casing of the interface panel. But there are many really useful things.

Plenty of expansion slots

So, eight DIMM-DDR4 slots allow you to install up to 128 GB of RAM in quad-channel mode (only in the case of SkyLake-X processors, not Kaby Lake-X). For dual-channel mode, overclocking of RAM up to 4500 MHz is available (modules with such a high frequency are currently produced only by G.Skill). Processor overclocking, of course, is also supported. A pair of UltraM.2 slots will help build a "reactive" RAID array of two NVMe drives (including Intel Optane SSDs are supported). And four (de facto, three, since two are located close to each other) PCI-E x16 slots — a bunch of NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire video cards.

For any task

The absence of video outputs on the rear panel (a feature of all LGA2066 motherboards) made it possible to solder ten USB ports at once, one of which is double-sided type C. A nice bonus is the advanced Audio Boost 4 sound subsystem with a pair of amplifiers for connecting high-impedance headphones. As a result, MSI X299 Raider can be safely advised for building both a work and a gaming PC with not only low-end Basin Falls processors, but even the flagship Core i9 XE.
