With Audio Boost & GAMING LAN offering dedicated gaming features tailored to the most demanding gamers, the BAZOOKA PLUS is sure to satisfy any gamer.
 
Why do you need "a stronger heatsink" on a motherboard that can't overclock jack shit? The highest heat dissipation you're likely to use is a 65w Core i5.

Just an excuse to charge a premium for an B150 motherboard, because the difference between the B150 and H170 is pretty tiny. Yeah, B150 have half the chipset ports as H170 but still features DMI3. The four spare lanes allows you one x4 m.2 slot at full 32gbps.

Everything else is so close it might as well be the same chipset.

Meanwhile they still don't have proper Z170 m-atx gaming series mobo.

Oh well I ordered Asus Gene instead.

MSI does have a Z170 version of this board (non-Arctic) listed on their site. Hope it releases soon... but under $90 for a board with premium features, aside from OC ability, I think is a deal.
