MSI Z270 GAMING M5 ATX Intel Motherboard

MSI Z270 GAMING M5 ATX Intel Motherboard seems to be taking advantage of its native features as much as possible. It also provides two M.2 mounts (With RAID) which share lanes with some of the SATA 6Gbs as many mainstream motherboard users will be aware from their past experiences. One of its own selling points are two USB ports specifically labeled  ‘VR Ready’ and ‘VR Boost’. In a nutshell, it provides clean signals to avoid any latency.

I am not a fan of labeling “gaming” on PC components. Due to various brands, it either means “Too expensive” and “Too cheap in quality and price”. We’ve seen cases when even the highest selling motherboard brand use low-cost solutions with ‘gamer’ tag. It limits one person’s opinion about anything with that word is a versatile product. That might be one person’s opinion, but we’ve seen success on both sides. Such as Kingston labeling HyperX towards gaming in full force and releasing headsets in a speed that nobody would bother to keep count, while Cooler Master chopped off “CM Storm” for Master series with a limited release with a time period.
