I hope that the picture of the MSI boards are of incomplete boards because naked VRM's on a board that can take a 9900k is just asking for trouble.

But it is a B board. There have always been low end chipsets (and similarly low investment on VRMs) on platforms that can handle i7s.

It's swings and roundabouts really. B365 has a extra 8 pci-e lanes, a pair of extra usb ports and raid. B360 has usb 3.1 and integrated wireless. The user should pick whatever is most important to them, not that the average person would know the difference anyway. Most see that B365 is a bigger number than B360 and because it's just launched will be better.

I still wouldn't stick a power hungry 9900 in a board with no heatsinks on the vrm's. It doesn't matter if all it does is run at stock, it will still hammer the vrms and the last thing you want is throttling because the vrm's are overheating.
