Review: MSI Z170A Gaming M9 ACK Motherboard

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/30/2015 09:00 AM | source: | 8 comment(s)

We review the MSI Z170A Gaming M9 ACK. The luxurious big brother of the M7. It is one of the best looking products if you ask me, dressed for success and with added benefits like USB 3.1, multiple M.2 slots and the fastest DDR4 support the product will impress. It also comes with extended looks, AC WIFI, a VRM that can be liquid cooled and then a dozen or so other features.

You can read the full article here.

Nice review but too bad this product costs a small fortune. Though I'm pretty happy with it's younger brother M5.

It is a nice looking board and with the water cooling options it is meant for high end systems. I am glad to see that they addressed the ugly WiFi adapter chip by encasing it in a nice looking shroud while also standing it up, it's just a shame that they didn't do the same with the ITX GAMING Z170I PRO AC... but maybe they will with the usual ACX update down the line?

The backplate does look nice but I foresee people trying to cram in their CPU coolers only to find out that they won't fit anymore... Awesome and extremely detailed review, thanks boss!

Hilbert, can you please confirm whether this mobo has support for HDCP 2.2 output via DP or HDMI?

I'm having a difficult time finding a list of boards with confirmed 2.2 support.

HDCP is not tied to your motherboard, but controlled by the video processor (either inside the CPU or dedicated graphics card). If you use Skylake then no, from the top of my head HDCP 2.2 is not supported.
