MSI & NZXT Team up with a Z170 RGB Bundle

[AlienALX]

Yeah not as clean but I can't see MSI going open source with their software to allow CAM to use it. Maybe they'll just put a header on the mobo like Asus (unless it's licenced)

TBH I'm totally not sold on all of this LED nonsense. It's just something else being tacked onto motherboards to make them even moar gayming ! so stupid prices can be charged.

It's a big shame too, because MSI now provide probably THE best software with their motherboards so the focus should be on that, not stupid lights.





Obviously overclocking (and making it available to all, as easily as possible) is far more important than dumb LEDs. The MSI control center is basically a complete rip of the Alienware one I use and it's absolutely fantastic. Seriously, it really is the dummie's guide to overclocking a CPU and makes it tremendously easy.

I found that any CPU since Sandy is very easy to overclock. So much so that going about it the complicated way hardly gains you anything from simply moving a slider and hitting apply. This is what MSI should be focusing on rather than dumb lights.

Well they got a lot right with Afterburner so it's no surprise.

LEDs I can take or leave. I can still see why they offer it though and they're not alone in that.

I'll just stick with one 30mm White LED strip
