After all the red and black. Now we get something black and white and it looks sweeeeeeeeeet <3

 

[SuB]

The board looks like it's suffering from Recon3D syndrome.. but in a good way.. so clean, very large areas of component'less space!

(except in the recon3D mode, it's because it's crap and uses software instead of hardware. )

Im planning on getting this along with the new Galax HOF 980s

at least hoping too...

Looks as tho Parvums' fans are just rebranded Alpenfohn wing boost fans.. :huh:

Honestly? Do you like that much white?.. The Krait would look the business with a Windforce card, shroud painted white and a matte black back plate.

i was the one who built that system on MSi's website.. and i do agree with TTL's take on just not having too much "white" to over power the board, like placing a HOF card in it. the HOF, however, would look nice in one of Asus' upcoming Sabertooth Mark 'S', which im doing another build on currently. anyhoot.. here are a few other angles of the inside:

there was supposed to be some black details on the GPU backplate, but i ran out of time and needed to send the photos. lol.

i love the look of this board. i want one myself.

Well the Krait is more black than white. And I would only purchase the HoF cards when they have waterblocks for them. I was more interested in performance. However after the review of the Krait, I'll pass on it.

I always had an inkling that it seemed a little too bare to look at, almost like many features had been gutted out.
