I'm planing on getting one of the msi z87 mpower motherboards
but i don't know which one to get
the mpower or the mpower max
i don't know the differences between the two
so what are the differences between them?
and which one would you recommend?

MPower Max has more phases in its power design than the MPower ( 20 vs 16 phases ), plus 2*8pin cpu power header instead of 1, so it'll give out better results if you want to do some extreme overclocking. Beside that main different, Max version also has more usb3 ports ( using NEC's usb3.0 controller ) and a TPM header. That's all. Other features are identical between the 2 boards.

Even more phases ( 32 ) for pro overclockers who want to break records. More sata ports, full usb3, better sound controller,... Normal MPower is more than enough for any normal end-user in my opinion.

thanks for the reply
i won't be doing some extreme overclockin, only medium overclockin, so do you think the mpower max is worth paying 30$ more?
