All said and done, the MSI Z170A MPOWER GAMING TITANIUM is over-the-top goodness that can be had at a reasonable price. It's built to not only be fast, but to last, and that's the most important part. It's overdone, but in all the right ways.

By Modders-Inc on September 14, 2016

MSI's Z170A MPOWER Gaming Titanium is undoubtedly one gorgeous piece of hardware but more importantly it represents an evolutionary milestone for just how far their motherboards have come. The view was grim four years ago in 2012 when I walked into...

By Bit-tech.net on August 11, 2016

We could say the Z170A MPOWER Gaming Titanium is a mixed bag, but summing everything up reveals it's much more than that. It does lack a number of features you'd expect on a £200+ Z170 board, namely overclocking and testing tools and built-in RGB...

International Review By elchapuzasinformatico.com on October 03, 2016

La placa MSI Z170A MPower Gaming Titanium es uno de los modelos más tardíos para el socket LGA 1151 con el chipset Z170 de Intel, pues dentro de nada llegaran las nuevas placas con el Z270. Por tanto, podríamos esperar motivos especiales para su...

International Review By Hispazone on September 21, 2016

250 Euros en una placa base que cuando la ves deja impresionado, más incluso que en las fotos “oficiales”. Pesa en mano, tiene unos acabados de pintura sobresaliente y el color de moda para que nuestro PC no pase por un PC cualquiera. Lo primero que uno...
