MSI X99S Gaming 7 Motherboard: Overview

[@TimSammartino]

This is probably to most detailed overview of a motherboard I have ever seen! Well done.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!

[@ForTheViolence]

Your videos have really improved. You did a good job showcasing the whole product without dragging the video on. Good job.

[@JoanneTechLover]

ForTheViolence Thank you! I do what I can :)

[@GreatStar6]

Already got mine from work and i cant wait to put it in my new tower and see what she can do!

[@Player_Review]

Nice board and great way to start, glad you went for the standard ATX. I'm excited to see your build.

[@JoanneTechLover]

I'll do a micro or mini in the future :) ATX is easier to build with!

[@deadbc77]

o_O X99! Now your speaking my language.Congratz Joanne can't wait for the build.

[@JoanneTechLover]

***** Oh yes! Sexy parts haha.

[@JerryNeutron]

These MSI gaming series motherboards all seem pretty solid, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one. Lucky you though making the jump to X99!

[@JoanneTechLover]

***** It's about time I upgraded my system ;p

[@WabbitCrouton]

Board is too expensive for my current budget, but the video is very nice! I like the short but detailed descriptions on each part of the motherboard along with the color boxes. Keep up the good work!

[@JoanneTechLover]

I'm glad you liked the video :) The Intel chip will be the most expensive part! Thanks for watching!

[@kenshinhimura5731]

Wow. Thank you so much! It's very detailed look at the motherboard. besides we have such a gorgeous reviewer. ^^

[@DKM-uy5kv]

Great little overview professionally done and a really exciting board for a rig

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thank you! I'm excited for the build :D

[@prpann]

Just found your channel and subscribed immediately! You are one one the best! Thank you for being so thorough!

[@itsdeonlol]

It's nice to see the OC Genie button. Good looking mobo!

[@JoanneTechLover]

***** Indeed, will have to experiment one day!

[@MrNobleme]

lookin forward to DA BUILD!!

[@JoanneTechLover]

Swivel Me too!

[@ITMacPro]

You're so lucky to be able to work with great products like MSI. This inspires me to maybe build a new PC for 2015. :D

[@JoanneTechLover]

I think so :) Go for the build!

[@teeblack06]

that's nice board. i hope they added offset voltage for overclocking because the older x79 boards didnt have it.

[@JoanneTechLover]

teeblack06 I'm looking forward to building on it! Why is offset voltage important for OC?

[@teeblack06]

when the cpu clocks down on idle or lite browsing or whatever i want the voltage to go down with it. no since in pumping high voltage into the cpu while it's down clocked.

[@elsydeon666]

The chassis intrusion is also nice for LAN parties (think overnight BYOB stuff, sucks to wake up and find your case gutted and left like a Camaro on blocks in the middle of a back alley). I hope you are going for the "cheap" $390 proc so you got more budget for badass GPUs and a bigass case that is bigger than you, in red and black of course.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Gutted lol. Not sure about the processor yet!

[@cyberxspeed]

I like the color schemes on these gaming boards. I have the ASUS Maximus VI Hero which is serving me well.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Awesome :) I like the features!

[@100percentGetDatCash]

Great video Joanne! Very informative.

[@JoanneTechLover]

100percentGetDatCash Thank you! Glad you think so :)

[@edrivers1404]

Wow thx, nice board

[@JoanneTechLover]

No problem! Glad you like it :D

[@imdmusic2012]

Still love my MSI's. I use OBS too. My mobo's are couple years old, (Z77 Mpower Military Class), but most of the components and setup is the same like the OC Genie button,etc. But, that's sort of unfortunate that there's no display or HDMI port, and there's no wifi or bluetooth either. Kind of interesting that the SATA5 and 6 are flat on the board like all the other connectors on the mobo. Finally they did it right. I hate how the other SATA ports are going at 90 degrees, but that's how everyone does it.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Oh you're right...no wifi card. That is a bit unfortunate...but, I guess I could always get it separate! It's harder to plug in when they're 90 degrees!

[@senanshuman]

They cannot put any DP/DVI/HDMI/VGA on x99 as Haswell-E does not have any graphics cores on the processor.

[@jims6235]

Feeling undepressed after watching your video :) thx...

[@JoanneTechLover]

I hope you feel better overall!

[@Bang4BuckPCGamer]

Very nicely done.

[@Bruno_Amaro]

I really loved to make a X99 build, but it's too expensive. Well at least i will see You building it. Great Review Joanne :)

[@JoanneTechLover]

It'll be fun to build! Glad you liked the video :)

[@TechOwnage]

omg joanne! x99 mobo... i was thinking of z97 gaming 7 or x99 gaming 7 of msi... right timing of your review

[@JoanneTechLover]

I'm glad you found this video helpful!

[@TechOwnage]

Joanne Tech Lover thanks so much for the video :P

[@specialA8D]

Love how your clothes colour coordination matches the MSI brand haha

[@JoanneTechLover]

I try!

[@HardCoreGameZ]

Great video!! Greetings from Brazil!!! Beijos!!

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thank you! Hello to Brazil!

[@zingman1236]

Hello I have a question. If you had a choice between the MSI Z97S SLI Krait addition or the MSI Z97-Gaming 5 ATX which one would you get? You have done both videos on them which I thank you for that but I would like to have your thoughts on which one I should get for my gaming pc build? Also how many subs did you have when you first got sponsored by a gaming PC company?

[@MarcosAlcala]

i bought this mobo today cant wait till i finish the build i still need to buy some parts since im broke :(

[@giotronics6215]

NEW VIDEO YEEEESSSSHHHHHH

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thanks for watching!

[@Daehawk]

I remember my first PC in 1994 has a serial connection for the printer and another for a mouse. I think even then I used the 'high tech' P/S2 port for my mouse. And the sound cards back then had a joystick port on them. Now its all USB. hehe man cleaning those roller ball mice often. Sigh.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Whoa, that's what it's for XD. I remember owning a roller ball mouse!

[@abhzpattni5217]

You should start a gaming channel btw!

[@JoanneTechLover]

abhz pattni Maybe one day; for now, the focus is on tech products! Or, if I can get a laptop soon, I can use it to do a gameplay video here or there :D

[@abhzpattni5217]

Joanne Tech Lover Sounds fair, well when that day comes ill be watching. :)

[@TechOwnage]

2:11 "maybe i'll be sponsored" hahahahah

[@jeanfrancolopezosorio1394]

very well explained

[@hababacon]

I love the performance X99 offers, I just hate the Gawd awful slow boot up time when compared to the Z97 chipset. My Asus X99-a boots up on about 30 seconds using Samsung 850 Pro (512 GB), while my brother's Gigabyte Z97 boots up in 15 seconds ( crucial MX100). Hell even my mom's AM3+ OCZ Vector 150 boots up in 15 seconds or so.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thanks for the heads up on the boot time *feeling weary* That's scary.

[@hababacon]

The performance of the X99-A outweighs the boot time. It just sucks to build 3 Z97 systems between $800-1300 for my clients, and look at my $1900 system stuck at Asus logo while having the Z97 desktops up and running on the rest.

[@AliSherrr]

@Joanne has been your experience with this mobo so far? Any problems with it?

[@unsc0212able]

which one is better out of all these MSI boards? THE SLI x99, the SLI Krait or this motherboard?

[@0fficialdregs]

My motherboard yay!!!!!

[@justinMacPhee]

for what it's worth, there is no display adapters because none of the supported chips have integrated graphics.

[@VINCENTDARKLY]

MSI has come a loooong way.

[@JoanneTechLover]

What was it like before?

[@VINCENTDARKLY]

Joanne Tech Lover Well, MSI was a company that literally started off in an apartment in the mid 80's. Since then it has become one of the top leaders in the micro computer industry. I mean it is one of those stories where a company grows to a giant from almost nothing. It is now, just light years from where it started. You will find MSI parts in things you would not even think that they would be in. Did you know MSI made the first (possibly the only) overclockable 286 motherboard. Really they made computer enthusiast parts before it was even a fashionable thing to do.

[@demontagemontage]

what does it mean USB AUDIO?????

[@JTP1982]

The ginger spongebob.. cannot wait till you put it together, looking good, also the pc, no disrespect to your guy that is

[@JoanneTechLover]

Jonas Poulsen Lol, if it's not funny- sorries. I've always been a bit quirky ;p

[@PreciseGameplay]

Hey Joanne, are you planning on reviewing any graphics cards anytime soon?

[@JoanneTechLover]

Maybe? ;p

[@Virgonation19]

I bout this the other week for my build :D

[@JoanneTechLover]

Cool, have fun with it!

[@Virgonation19]

LOL just realized my spelling mistake, bought* :P

[@ozzieo5899]

Fantastic review.. I was going to put a build together with the Asus Rampage E (kinda Bias to Asus) till I saw the Asrock dual gigabit port WS-E/10G board.. I really want those gigabit ports. Will you be able to get your hands on that.? Also are you aware of anything to petition KZbins' new laws? its really going to affect you and the others folks I love listening to..i.e. Linus, Logan, NE, etc. pls let us know..

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thank you! Not sure about samples; depends on the vendors! Not sure of any petition, but hope JTL stays safe!

[@krazyeknine57]

Hi joanne quick question i have a intel 4790k processor and a 16gb corsair dominator platinum 2800mhz ddr4.do you know whats the best motherboard that will be compatible?any recommendation..? Thanks and regards

[@dnop]

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!

[@JoanneTechLover]

Thank you for watching!

[@SWOgottaGO]

No mentions of chokes nor capacitors

[@iCalifornia95]

What Nuvouton chip does this have? (bottom left corner). Some people may be interested since this chip has a lot to do with speed fan for those wanting software controlled 3-pin fans.

[@nicke5366]

Does this have LEDs or a illuminated PWM?

[@aedrah]

Can I request a review of the MSI X99A SLI PLUS motherboard? Thank you

[@mikevanderkuijl5127]

The 2011-v3 platform doesnt support igpu, that's the reason there are no display ports.

[@JoanneTechLover]

Mike Kuijl Interesting- thank you!

[@ryanpeters6216]

M.2 port is 32gbps not 10gbps

[@chrisharmon8613]

Was thinking same thing. The x4 M.2 is one of the purks of this mobo but now with the Intel 750 series PCIE style SSD's out an x4 M.2 isn't exactly a must have now.

[@mysticsnomar8805]

i love Joanne so much is not even funny :X :D KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GIRL

[@SPECIFICREGION]

nice

[@TheHilo623]

I have recently been getting into video editing, Photoshop and all of that stuff. I currently have an i5-4690k but have been wanting to get a 5820k. would this board work well with this chip?

[@josh19866914]

Hilo whats ur set up now?

[@jrlacroix3838]

Hi I need HELP! im geting thinking of geting into PC gameing but im a little out of my range here should i do ssd drive or M.2 drives thanks for any info

[@Terry.W]

This motherboard look like a serious piece of kit ..

[@JoanneTechLover]

Terry Worrall :D

[@destropros]

Question please, i dont know much about OC, so i thought about using the OC genie instead. When OS restarts, it freezes and only i get is the following message: Oc genie is enabled we do not recommend to modify settings... and thats all, it freezes forever and stays like that After manually restarting my PC the third time i get the following message: All settings were reset to default values The previous overclock settings have failed, system has been restored to its default settings Press F1 to run setup Press F2 to load default values and continue... My specs: I7 5820k CPU 3.3 Ghz, 4125 Mhz 16 GDDR4 Predator hyper x 4x4 Msi x99A Gaming 7 MOBO Msi Geforce titan X Power supply es 850W Cooler Master Gold series Would this problem be related to Power supply? maybe something directly related to MOBO itself? TYVM in advance people

[@MenderSlen579]

i know this video is a bit old but does this mobo really physiclly fit 3 large gpus in sli or is there a size limit?(for example gtx titanx or 980ti)cause this atx look a bit small to fit that much in. much apreciated if answered

[@TheOyunWorld]

yes you can i do 2 way sli and you easily have room for more but remember they will be close together

[@DrainDancer]

Do a build guide?

[@JoanneTechLover]

The build guide will upload today :)

[@jaypandya9560]

Display ports?? Well intel core i7 extream editions(LGA 2011 V3) doesn't support integrated graphics so you must need a dedicated video card.that's why there are no display ports

[@ChaoticRenny]

Did you just say NEW BUILD?! O: what processor will you be going with? 5820k 5930k? or the 8-core monster 5960X? Also will you have a code name for it?

[@JoanneTechLover]

Renny The Otaku We shall see :D

[@anggoro-danang]

Bring me 1080p so I can see the details I can't afford.

[@Darlemonte]

What CPU are you planning on using? o.o

[@JoanneTechLover]

Not sure yet! Hopefully I can get a sample from Intel :)

[@Darlemonte]

Well I can definitely vouch for the 5820k, it's an amazing processor. Though, I do want to try the 8 core, and possibly the 10 core and run some rendering benchmarks. But so far I can run every game I have at max settings all at once and over 400 tabs in google chrome. I have yet to actually stress this thing out. XD

[@Darlemonte]

Good luck on getting a sample!!! I'm sure many others would love to see the performance of the 2011-3 cores.

[@II-bl1bg]

What cable do I use to connect it to monitor

[@JayChanLoveMusic]

Do all motherboards or this include "wifi" receiver or do i have to buy an external receiver for it?

[@osaiha5913]

You have to buy ASUS PCE-AC56 802.11ac Dual-band Wireless-AC1300 PCI-E Adapter. If you want to get wifi

[@rooneye]

+Jayz Chann You'd be missing out on the benefits/features (especially for gaming, and this is after all a gaming mobo) of the Killer NIC if you use a wireless card though, so unless you really have to, it's better to go wired.

[@SandsGrand]

what about the gaming 9?

[@KeithoSan]

Joanne you are amazing

[@JoanneTechLover]

Keitho Sayoto Thank you!

[@MrMassivemeatlog]

I don't get these "gaming" boards. The only reason (in my mind) to buy a high end motherboard is for multi GPU or multi CPU set ups (or if you need insane amounts of ram). Like anyone with this kind of dosh to drop will have a real sound card/external DAC/AMP. at least it isn't as bad as those boards that have all that "shielding" on them and look ridiculous.

[@JoanneTechLover]

MrMassivemeatlog It looks great, and it's going to be awesome for editing! My current build...just doesn't cut it for rendering!

[@vexelicious]

Joanne Tech Lover Maybe MSI should change it to "Work Hard, Play Hard" brand to this type of board, i guess. :3

[@เทพนะจะนะนะ]

M2 SATA 3??????? M2 NVME????

[@joshandevera4544]

whats the difference between x99a and x99s?

[@DrKeez]

USB 3.1

[@theslifer4252]

So we can get 64gb of ram? :o BTW Great video :)

[@JoanneTechLover]

Lol...too expensive ;p Thanks for watching!

[@szewei85]

6 core intel cpu.... i can buy that but 3.3 ghz base clock 4 core intel cpu.... only for cores... but its 4.0 ghz. Someone please help me!

[@Deeley234]

Stupid gimmick "killer E2200" gigabit Ethernet port. It's GIGABIT... there is no need to prioritise gaming traffic! That's a ridiculous concept!

[@captainthrall]

jesus that was 12 minutes of monotone boringness. "and this is the keyboard port, and this is a usb port, and this...." WE KNOW!

[@michaelschiavone8199]

When will people realize that x99 is really a terrible gaming platform at this point in time, unless you want to run like quad SLI, which is stupid

[@lolakyle8]

60 FPS, yeah...

[@definedillusions9006]

nice review, one tip maybe try not to stretch youre fingers out completely, it doesnt look right.
