One of the new motherboards shown at Computex is the MSI MEG X399 Creation. This is a motherboard for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper and it stands out from the pack due to its polarizing design. As TechPowerUp
reports, this motherboard has one of the more unique, and in-your-face, designs in a long time. Here are the main specs:
A humongous L-shaped heatsink dominates the bottom-right corner, cooling not just the AMD X399 chipset, but also three M.2 slots. The top-left, and far-left corners feature some of the largest CPU VRM heatsinks we've seen in a long while. The VRM heatsink extends to the left side, while the rear-I/O shroud blends into it, running the entire length of the left side. The board gives you a maximum of 7 M.2 slots. A 19-phase VRM drawing power from two 8-pin EPS connectors fuels your Threadripper. Four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, eight DDR4 DIMM slots, and the whole shebang of OC features make for the rest of it.
