Stop trolling.

Thread needs to be closed.

The colour/design does nothing to impact performance unless the design improves cooling much more.

@meti; I've seen so many trollers trying to give out flamebait here in the past week that I jumped to a conclusion.

I just don't see what the point of this thread is? The MSI GD70/80 is an awesome looking board and the GA-MA790FXT-UD5P isn't bad looking either..

It's not trolling... he never said anything about performance, or cooling.

He just asked why Intel's motherboards are generally better looking, I don't see how that's trolling, in any way.

He is saying something silly to provoke others into responding. That is pretty much a troll post. Look at the thread title and then the post. If he were to word it "My AMD motherboard is ugly" then it would be less troll. LOL.

that actually looks pretty good!

@Daney, I was looking into the GD70 it's a good looking board and I've heard it does well in overclocking too

its just trolling to you because you have an AMD

Two words: Foxconn Bloodrage
The EVGA Classy is damn sexy too, really any EVGA board looks awesome

granted its a motherboard and ususally covered up by stuff but if you can get a great performing and sharp looking motherboard for your windowed case and watercooling (optional, but most is visible) and you want sweet matching RAM then as he said Intel seems to have more options when it comes to this

So... apparently stating your opinion that Intel generally has better looking motherboards than AMD is trolling now... crazy.

OP: I do agree with you. The majority of AMD motherboards I find unattractive, the exception being the GD70, the Evo, and all of DFi's boards, and I'm sure there's a few others that I'm not aware of currently.

yeah see the closest AMD has is the MSI GD70 and the Asus Board
