thank you to Squarespace for sending us here to CES 2016 also check out their
0:03
Link in the description down below first up at MSI we've got the x99a Godlike
0:08
gaming carbon now you might have seen the x99a Godlike before but it had kind
0:13
of red accents then but was an RGB board which is a little bit conflicting CU if
0:17
you wanted anything other than red it might look a little bit weird so now
0:21
they went with the carbon idea there's a lot more black they've got aluminum
0:24
armor shroud they've got carbon fiber wrapping kind of things on a few of the
0:28
heat sinks and whatnot so it's more of a neutral black that's going to look good
0:32
with basically any color you decide to have on those rgbs which are still
0:35
included which is pretty sick also they have steel armor on the like PCI Express
0:41
slots and the memory they're saying that this is for weight I don't know if
0:45
you're really going to have a huge benefit uh from that for the memory but
0:48
it looks really cool regardless and it's kind of a neat feature I guess next is
0:53
another motherboard refresh this is a zed 170a gaming Pro carbon and there
0:58
isn't a ton that's changed here we still we see the same steel reinforcement on
1:03
the PCI Express slots that we did on the Godlike we see the same style of carbon
1:08
fiber covering also not quite as cool but the same style in terms of carbon
1:12
fiber covering that we saw on the Godlike and then there's one more
1:16
actually fairly major feature improvement over the previous Zed 178
1:19
gaming Pro which is the USB type-c USB 3.1 connector which is uh on the back
1:25
I/O plate which is definitely a solid Improvement and last but maybe not least
1:29
depending on your aesthetic choices is the b150m gaming 3x it's a relatively
1:35
low-end gaming board but I'm trying to convince them to make like a blinged out
1:39
Ballin board with it cuz I want to see like crazy gold bladed heat sinks and
1:44
stuff and I would love for them to challenge us to do a build that's like
1:48
awesome and China themed that is like goldplated with red accents all over the
1:52
place and stuff I think that would be sick so like hit them up on Twitter hit
1:56
Nick up on Twitter hit me up on hitter hit hit Dennis up on twwiter twiter I
2:00
don't even really care or set up a website from Squarespace where you can
2:04
like manage contact forms there that would be nice as well you could make a
2:08
website about gold plating computers using one of their templates and it
2:11
would look really cool if you had problems setting it up the 24/7 live
2:14
chat and email support which is like I don't know I think that's pretty solid I
2:17
think that's cool also if you buy a domain for a year cuz obviously your
2:21
gold plating computer business can be super successful you get a domain for
2:24
free which is included also very nice anyways Squarespace build it beautiful
2:29
