Sleek Design, Military Class 5 with Titanium Capacitors, 4K Support, USB 3.1, 7.1 Channel Audio, Solid Performance, MSI Control Center Center, HDMI and Display Port, Dual BIOS, Gaming Control via Hardware/Software
For the Price it needs WiFi, BIOS still needs a Tweak or Two, Single LAN
Before starting on the motherboard, I need to talk a little about the Z170 chipset and what differences it has, compared to the prior generations. Most noticeable is the DDR4 compatibility up to 4133 MHz with OC but other changes were made as well. There...

Abstract: And then there was the race for memory. Overclocking is a huge part of an enthusiast motherboard review, and better memory allows motherboard to get closer to their maximum DRAM data rate. In spite of constant improvements in memory technology, a single s...
& conclusion MSI is offering one of the best performing products out there in the Z170 segment, it lacks a few features though. I do miss AC WIFI and perhaps a second Ethernet jack preferably from Intel to that user can choose either an intel or E2400 NI...
Built to game, even at the limit of stability, USB 3.1 Gen2, Twin Turbo M.2, dual SATA Express are all present, Excellent software package tailored around GAMING, Game Boost knob for maximum clocks with just a twist of the wrist, Great audio performance,
Fan headers could be better, Red and black may be a bit old now. However, I really like this particular red color, so that's subjective, No free game. It is a GAMING board, how about a "free" game, too

Fantastic feature set, Looks like a quality item, Great allround performance
Difficult to fully justify the price, Autooverclocking feature is a definite dud
This high quality motherboard has plenty going for it, boasting a sterling feature set and aesthetics to match – though whether the outlay can be justified in performance terms is down to the individual...

As the board I used to test the 6th Generation Core i7 6700K, I was impressed yet again with what MSI has brought to the table. Constantly evolving the package to improve the brand is the name of the game, and MSI has done that with the Z170A Gaming M7. Y...
Futureproof features, USB 3.1 Type A & Type C on board

MSI's foray into the new 100 series motherboard is off on a good start, plus you get backward compatibility with your current cooling solution as well.(previously published in issue September 2015)...
Abstract: Intel's new Z170 chipset brings a lot of new features over its Z97 predecessor like support for DDR4 memory and native support for Turbo M.2 speeds of up to 32Gbps. To that end, MSI has prepared a full line-up of Intel Z170 motherboards that will support...
