MSI has just introduced their first ever mATX Gaming series motherboard. The all-new Z87M GAMING motherboard comes with the new Intel Z87 chipset along with LGA1150 socket and supports all the new Haswell processors. It comes packed with Killer NIC, Audio Boost sound enhancement technology, and a whole new software and hardware design for enhanced product performance.
agreed. At least is looks better than their Z87 G43M board. Though I do miss the blue
EDIT: I just remembered their lightning/Hawk GPU Lines and im thinking wouldnt it be cooler/more original if they did an MPower-M yellow/black board instead?
EDIT2: oh wait AsRock already has a yellow/black mATX board....
Whatever, like if the rest of MSI mATX boards didnt "let you game". I hate all the "gaming" stuff, marketing, marketing everywhere. Plus all those "gaming" features, a msi gaming or no gaming matx makes no difference performance wise.

Like you said, its more on the features that make the board. Performance across all Z87 motherboards are roughly the same if you take out the features. Check out Linus Tech Tip's video on whether or not it is worth it to buy a premium motherboard for gaming.

You dont get my post. Thats my point, before all the "gaming" branding stuff, MSI already had great boards, now, they are great too but with all those "gaming" features and stuff, they are losing it, dont know why they started all this gamin stuff. MSI twin frozr gaming cards, gamin boards... what for?
TTL really loved the board. Extreme compression of his video review: he said he had very high expectations and it superseded them.
Personally I am sick of the black/anything themes, I just want all black and I'll combine colors on other components. I don't like being forced into a color scheme by a motherboard that I want because of the features, I can paint a GPU shroud or buy colored fans if I want... (so a compatible black waterblock would make this my choice)
