After a few months of waiting, this feature-packed board is now available here in the UK, just in time for the impending arrival of Intel's Broadwell-E line-up that we have been hearing so much about thanks to various leaks recently.

The GODLIKE Gaming Carbon Fibre Edition motherboard is an EATX model, with plenty of useful features like DDR4 Boost technology, which uses optimized PCB traces to fully isolate memory circuitry as well as what MSI calls Steel Armour technology, which is essentially a better EMI shield.
