MSI ships the Z87I Gaming AC in packaging which is typical for the company's Gaming Series products. A red and black box features the symbolic dragon logo and plenty of information regarding the motherboard.
The typical manuals, drivers disc, and case badge form the supplied literature. MSI also includes a comedic door hanger which warns people against disturbing you when gaming is taking place.
The Z87I Gaming AC's slim accessory bundle consists of two SATA cables, a pair of WiFi antennae, and the rear IO shield.
A notable omission is MSI's ultra-convenient M-connector; the basic block would have made connecting cables in a cramped, mITX environment a much easier task.
Awesome board, love MSI products – building a media center soon and this was already on my shortlist. unless something comes out soon which is better.
This is my dream in 2014 – build a silent, small system which can play games at 1080p and not break the bank. Still working on it !
Little Giant! Brilliant design, small but fully loaded.
I just hope I could win that kind of awesome motherboard 😀
Great performing board, great looks and very stable.
Using it in a corsair 250D case atm.
Motherboard layout can give some problems with cablemanagement tho when u want everything neat and clean. Thats something that could be improved next time.
Having only 1 chafan conn is simply absurd.
