MSI announced their AM3+ 970A Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard

I don't like the fake carbon fiber look.
I've never seen a real car on a motherboard box before i think.
 
Have you noticed that most new AM3+ boards are on the 970 chipset and have usb3.1 m.2 nvme support.... that chipset will run out of bandwidth but why use that? Because it's cheap...
 
Well why would it be real?? That would be uber expensive:p

Yea i know, but i think carbon wrap tends to look way worse than actual carbon fiber. It doesn't really look like carbon fiber but like a checkered grayscale pattern because the depth is missing.
 
This is why i like EVGA motherboards they don't go over board with the Design not like cough MSI cough ASUS cough.

IIRC there was a car on the box for the 680i motherboards back when..



Actually it was a single wheel and two flaming exhausts :D

Thankfully the board didn't look stupid like this one.

I dunno MSI. A little while back you were making plain black boards that looked teh sex, now this. Carbon fibre is so 2009.
 
Awesome Board!

Im with most when asking why build or buy this AM3 MOBO? Well ill tell you why i am buying this board. My gigabyte GA 970a mobo got toasted by a bad Hue+ controller. I will be building a Zen system but i also need a new board untill such time. LOVE the RGB header and m.2 support!
