The MSI X299 XPower Gaming AC in detail

The MSI X299 XPower Gaming AC is a high-quality enthusiast motherboard in E-ATX format, suitable for power users and hardware fools who are looking for an X299- & Skylake-X or Kaby Lake-X team have decided. The extremely stylish, black board has four PCIe x16 slots, two of which are connected to the chipset with full 16 lanes, while the other two are electrically connected to eight data lines. This makes it possible to use NVIDIA 3-Way SLI or AMD 3-Way CrossFireX configurations when using a 28 or 44 Lane CPU.

Equipped with a total of eight DIMM slots for DDR4 memory, all CPUs with 28 or 44 data lines can be used in quad-channel mode and up to a maximum capacity of 128 GB. A 16-lane CPU supports dual-channel operation of four 64-GB capacity slots. Officially DDR4 modules with up to 2.666 MHz can be used, whereby after overclocking also considerably higher clock rates are possible: 4,500 MHz!

For data carriers, the board provides an extensive set of three M.2 slots for particularly fast NVMe M.2 SSDs, a U.2 port for NVE SSDs, and ten SATA 6G connectors for 3.5 " or 2.5-inch hard drives and SSDs (including RAID support). The M.2 and U.2 ports are connected to the chipset via four PCIe lanes in the 3.0 standard and, combined with the NVMe protocol, enable a data transfer rate of just under 4 GB / s. Thus, M.2 and U.2 PCIe SSDs are up to eight times faster than SATA 6G SSDs! In addition, the M.2 slots are equipped with so-called M.2 Shield, which reduces the heat generation on the modules and thus the performance is not lost.
External connections

On the I / O panel of this performance mainboard are numerous useful connections, which should make life easier for the user. In addition to a new type-C USB 3.1 port, which is particularly thin and can be plugged in at both ends, the board has a further down-compatible USB 3.1 port. Thanks to the ASMedia 3142 USB 3.1 controller, even maximum speeds of up to 16 Gbps are achieved, which is more than three times as fast as conventional USB 3.0 connections. Of course the board also has six USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports for input devices and other gaming peripherals.

The MSI X299 XPower Gaming AC also has two Intel LAN ports and a fast wireless AC with two antenna ports for unrestricted network connectivity, enabling the main network processes to be automatically prioritized to provide a lag-free gaming experience. The Realtek ALC1220 Codec and the five audio ports with gold-plated connectors, which are supplemented by an optical S / PDIF-Out connector, provide for neat sound. In addition, a classic PS / 2 port for keyboard and / or mouse belongs to the I / O panel.
Other equipment

The special features of the MSI X299 XPower Gaming AC include extensive RGB LED lighting based on MSI Mystic Light. In addition to numerous lighting zones directly on the board, several LED strips can also be connected and can also be perfectly controlled via the Mystic Light software. The virtually endless colors and numerous effects can be selected, is now almost a matter of course.
