Q&A With Andy Tung

MSI’s VP of Sales Talks About HisCompany’s GAMING Series Motherboards

comes with a completely customizablefan controller with all 4-pin PWMfan connectors. Also, it features MSI’sMilitary Class 4 construction, the newstandard in stability, built on a proventechnology of high-quality components.Last but not least, I should point outthat Super RAID, the definitive notebookstorage technology, is now available on allour GAMING motherboards.

QCan readers expect more GAMINGSeries products moving forward,

and if so, can you talk about what kindsof things readers should keep an eyeout for?

AT We are looking for wa ys toexpand our GAMING series

products in to d i fferent productsegments in the future, includingpossibly the microA X and Mini-I Xform factors.■

AT Yes, currently MSI has imple-mented the GAMING series

into two configurations for Z87 chipset.he two models are the Z87-GD65

GAMING and Z87-G45 GAMING. hemajor differences between the two modelsare the numbers of SA A 3.0 ports eachhas and that the Z87-GD65 GAMINGhas the one-touch OC Genie feature.

QDoes the OC GENIE II button reallylet users overclock their GAMING

series boards in one second? How doesthat work?

AT Yes, the user can just press the OCGENIE button or enable this feature

in the UEFI BIOS and/or Windows. Onceenabled, the system will be overclockedautomatically after booting. MSI designed aswitch with two modes for users to get higherperformance. OC mode can take your PCfrom a 3.5GHz default to 4GHz overclock,while the Gaming mode can overclock to4.2GHz when using the new Intel Core i7-4770K CPU.

Q What are the benefits of the GAMINGSeries boards’ Sound Blaster Cinema

audio?

ATSound Blaster Cinema can makethe surround sound in the game

crystal clear and enhance some gamingsound effects.

QIs there anything else about theZ87-GD65 GAMING that you’d like

users to be aware of?

ATIt supports the fastest memoryavailable (DDR3-3000), and it

Q You recently launched a new Z87GAMING series motherboard. How

long has the GAMING series beenaround, and what other products doesit include?

ATIn April 2013, we implementedthe f i rs t GAMING ser ies

motherboards for the Intel Z77platform: Z77A-GD65 GAMING,Z 7 7 A - G D 4 5 G A M I N G , a n dZ77A-G43 GAMING. hese threemodels are MSI’s first GAMING seriesmotherboards. We also have otherproduct lines in the GAMING series,including integrated graphics cards,gaming laptops, and all-in-one PCs.

Q What is the design philosophybehind your GAMING series, and

what di ff erenti ates them from theaverage board?

ATGAMING series boards arebuilt to optimize the gaming

experience. We implemented Qual-comm Killer’s E2200 networking chip,which can prioritize game and videostreaming traffic to ensure fluidity of

both network streams. his was alwaysan issue on any non-Killer-equippedsystems. Our GAMING series alsoimplemented Sound Blaster Cinemato improve the sound experience whileplaying games.

Q As you mentioned a moment ago,MSI’s Z77 GAMING series boards

came in three configurations. Willthe Z87 GAMING series boards havesimilar counterparts, and if so, howdo the three models differ?
