The best without overpayments
MSI Z270 Krait Gaming is one of the most affordable motherboards at launch based on the flagship Intel Z270 chipset (24 PCI-E lanes). Supports overclocking of processors, both new Kaby Lake and old Skylake, and DDR4 RAM up to 3800 MHz. The ability to create a bundle of NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFireX video cards is also provided
Music and games
The audio subsystem of the MSI Z270 Krait Gaming is called Audio Boost 4 and is based on the older Realtek ALC1220 codec, a pair of amplifiers for high-impedance headphones and a Nahimic software equalizer. The network connection is represented by an Intel I219V Ethernet controller with the function of controlling Internet traffic priorities (for example, online games have more traffic, background downloads are less).
In the same style
The MSI Krait motherboard series differs from its counterparts in black and white. The Z270 Krait Gaming will appeal primarily to modders who build PCs in a white case. A good addition to the black and white motherboard will be an MSI Armor series graphics card with a similar colour scheme.
