Behold the Teaser for MSI's Big Bang ZPower

Micro-Star International hasn't released its first Intel Z77 Express chipset-based motherboard yet, but it is getting close to the time when the curtains are parted.

The name of the mainboard will be Big Bang ZPower, or at least that's what the folks at TechPowerUp think. Speaking of which, they are the ones who somehow got a hold of two teaser photos. Said pictures reveal the existence of an intricate heatsink design, a PCB similar to the Z77A-GD65 and three PCI Express slots. Owners will have Pericom PCIe lane switches to select between single-slot x16 mode, x8/x8 mode or x8/x4/x4.

Needless to say, overclockers and people who want 3-way multi-GPU setups will be the primary targets of this piece of hardware. The UEFI-BIOS will have many overclocker-friendly features after all, and MSI will give the Big Bang a strong VRM to boot.
