Decided to open a new thread for product update/news of MSI stuff.
(Mainly component segment.)

Booked first for more updates.

Merging some threads in the process too.





-------------------------------------------------------------------------
New arrival :

MSI B150M Bazooka :
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/B150M-BAZOOKA.html#hero-overview

Categorised under their Arsenal Series, is this B150 Matx model.
Comes with a pretty cool black/white theme with white back-lit LEDs.
(two on each corners.)
And also a simple debug LED.






Would look better inside a case with the light reflecting back.




Debug LED :




Not the best of layouts on the the PCI-E slots but it does the job.
Will reach SLS in this two days.
Retailing as SRP $159.(Updated) :)


Cheers.

This series of boards, MSI made a couple of odd segments in their product line which even I think is confusing to the general users.....
Anyway they segregated the Gaming series into 3 parts :

-Enthusiast Gaming
http://gaming.msi.com/article/intro...ies-enthusiast-gaming-born-to-master-the-game
All those with the "M" are under this segment.
M3/M5/M7 etc
They did fuse the OC series into the same segment.
(finally....)

-Performance Gaming
http://gaming.msi.com/article/intro...es-performance-gaming-offer-you-game-in-style
Those with the "Pro" inclusive of Krait Gaming belong to this segment.

-Arsenal Gaming
http://gaming.msi.com/article/every...-so-do-you-introduction-of-msi-arsenal-gaming
The remaining ones with "weapon namings" goes here.
Mortar, bazooka and such.


H170 Gaming M3 :
















Retailing at $239.
For more details,

The odd ball model.
Flagship of MSI's Arsenal Gaming series as of now.

Z170A Tomahawk :
http://www.msi.com/product/motherboard/Z170A-TOMAHAWK.html#hero-overview












This fellow has support for an additional wifi module add-on but MSI hasn't got back to me on this yet.
Still awaiting their reply.




Some "H" have better features like Intel/Killer LAN, audio but "H" is locked at 2133MHz.
This uses Realtek 8111 Lan and ALC892 for the audio
but has the features of the "Z" chipset.
USB 3.1, memory OC support.
All arsenal gaming series have some form of backlit LED and this comes in red.
Pretty even on the pros and cons.
But yeah, just an odd segment that may suit some ppl.
Retailing @ $269

More confusion.... lol

Looks familiar?
Identical to the H170 Gaming M3 in fact.....
Just difference in native chipset features...
(raid, HSIO bandwidth & configurability)

Retailing at $199.
Available at PC Themes, MediaMart, VideoPro & Infinity.

There was Z170A Gaming Pro
which MSI touted the blink blink as its main feature.
Called "Mystic Light"

Now comes to the B150 series as :
B150A Gaming Pro







Basically, all "Gaming Pro" series has this same feature.
A layer of RGB LEDs under the PCB configurable by the provided s/w.




Will set it up when I have more time. :)
Anyway some pics of the board :










Not the best of layouts, but they(MSI) probably wanted to minimise obstruction to the visibility of the mystic LEDs.
Retailing @ $219.

Yes. Z, H & B.
There is an "enthusiast" model in every of that category identified with the "M".
ie,M3 for the "H" and the "B" series. "Z" has up to M9.

Tried out the Mystic LED.




Basically, the colours can be customised with a couple of effect options.
Sorry, the video seemed to be done like a daze. @@

This model finally made it to our shores.
The base no frills Z170 model w/SLI.

Just to share some pics :
