More Wallet friendly Ryzen Threadripper X399 SLI Plus from MSI in Development

You know, the one thing that I have been 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 (Zenith). It seems that MSI is prepping an answer.

An image posted by Videocardz reveals the Ryzen Threadripper ready X399 SLI Plus. The 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 have been 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.

3 typographic errors in just the first paragraph. No one will mind if the article is posted 10 minutes later because it got proofread first. Just a friendly advice from someone who has been visiting this site for more than 15 years.

Everyone screws up now and then. Get over it.

i love the idea of this board.

what i would do backflips over while shooting fireworks from my butt is an m-atx threadripper board with four dimms instead of eight. with the capacity of modern ram you don't always need eight dimms.
plus, with the new RAID features you would still have three slots (other than videocard) for pcie. i've seen single slot half height pcie cards with 4 M.2...i know there's more than that available. plus have at least three M.2 slots on mobo (including underneath)...

i'd pre-order right now. i'm tired of e-atx and massive cases.

The issue is that it is not "now and then" but all the time lately. It is been pointed out by many others as well. No matter what the content, if it is riddled with errors like that it gives an impression of a hastily and sloppy job.
Also there is this thing in life called constructive criticism. Deal with it.
