news 28 Posted October 30, 2012 Today we are taking a look at MSIÂ’s flagship Z77 motherboard, the Z77A-GD80. Beyond being the GD80 SKU, which for several generations now has been given MSIÂ’s premiere options, this GD80 in particular is an innovative board. This is due to the Z77A-GD80 being the first Windows motherboard that was certified for IntelÂ’s Thunderbolt technology.

Beyond being a rock solid motherboard, the GD80 was the first Intel certified Thunderbolt motherboard. Even though it is one of the first Thunderbolt boards, MSI seems to have hit the ball out of the park on their first implementation. If you are interested in Thunderbolt, this very well could be the board to get." Thanks! Ryan Shrout PC Perspective rshrout ( -at -) pcper.com Share this post Link to post
