This competition is now closed and the winner has been announced as thewanted. Congratulations!

Hi all,

We have an interesting new topic for discussion here. Very soon, we'll be announcing a brand new motherboard from one of our ranges. However, we need you to guess what it's going to be!

However, we're not going to make you guess and give you nothing for your trouble. We want to get our new hardware into your hands to test, build and show off!

So, here are your clues:
It will be an AMD motherboard.
It will be part of an existing range.
It will look a little like the image below, with an iconic style that many of you should know well already.

"How do you enter to win?" we hear you cry! It's very simple.

Reply to this thread with which motherboard you think this will be and why you believe it will be that model.

In return, a lucky winner will receive not only the motherboard, but also a few extra components to kickstart a brand new build for you to share with us. We'll be sure to give your new build some time in the spotlight when you have it built!

Act fast though, the motherboard's name will be revealed in less than 24 hours from this post going live!

Best of luck and we'll see you in the replies!

MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk - As you say its an existing range i'm under the assumption when you imply range you mean the MAG series, as B550 isn't yet available. The board might have wifi but unsure if it will be in the boards "name" I've negated this due to the information included in the EEC listing ;)

Its the B550 as the X570 has a chipset Fan - I know tis as I've one on preorder so wining this would then freeup cash for getting watercooling or hold the cash for big navi :)

One final edit to support my above reasoning (not to change my mind :)) might help me win.. might reduce my chances but sure xD

That looks to me more like the MAG Mortar boards, the B460M.
The heatsinks are a good match, albeit without the wording obviously, although I only count six caps on this one...

I like mortars, although these aren't quite like the ones I used to shoot! :D
 
I think the prize date is a clue and that it's only the posh boards that have been announced first - so B550 MAG Tomahawk as that has the grey dot check pattern.

Don;t think it's the Mortar as that is definitely an ATX card.

MSI B550 Pro Carbon wifi.

On the basis of the great reputation of the B450 Pro Carbon Wifi, and of the recent MSI strapline: "A return to honour".

Right I'm going to say - MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI. MSI B550 Tomahawk.

Why do I say this? OcUK Doesn't stock this at present and the board design in this photo matches the new MSI B550 Tomahawk!

That board is also an ATX the same as the photo.

Thank you for the competition and good luck to you all.

I think you have it. I based my guess on the result announce date and the picture of the IO cooling.

BTW @MSIUK Support well done for having the competition.

I didn't look at the release date. a month from now means OcUK would have had them listed for pre-order? Surely? Unless OcUK ain't going to sell these boards that's been promoted. lol

However, the X570 has already been announced and the B550 hasn't. OOF I might have just got it wrong!
 
Hi , my guess is the MSI B550 MAG Tomahawk.

Its MAG / tomahawk styling , almost like the x570 , and tomahawk was a hugely successfull and very popular b450 board so fits with clue 3..
... but seems to have slightly different southbridge heatsink area. hence my guess of the b550. I also have not seen any pictures of this board around.
