You know, the one thing that I have mentioning with the X399 Threadripper release is that the motherboards might become a little to expensive. Some are 400 euro, the most expensive one reaches 600 euros. It seems that MSI is prepping an aswer.

An image posted by Videocardz reveals the Ryzen Threadripper ready X399 SLI Plus. The base foundation seems to be based upon the X399 Gaming Pro Carbon AC (our review here) but with some features scrapped away. The PCI-Express and DIMM slots seem to be reinforced, I spot two M.2 slots with shields (but three in total) and the audio section seems exposed. The two fastest PCIe 3.0 x16 slots are reinforced with metal and then there are two regular x16 PCIe slots in a more regular flavor as well as two x1 slots. The box shows Mystic RGB lighting and thus it'll get some RGB lovin as well. It is unclear when MSI will release this product, as well as its price. I have to say i do like that all dark black design.

If it doesn't support 17 GPUs for mining I don't want it.

Since we were able to strip everyones wallet with x370 titanium we could afford to R&D x399 in various flavors.

Or....

Since everyone who got suckered into paying $300 for our flagship x370 board that should have been a sub $200 board figured out they had been had....We had no choice but to lower our prices.

Not a bad board btw. There are no for the most part bad products....just bad pricing.
