This will be the flagship platform for overclockers of the Intel Haswell CPU

Micro-Star International has released a teaser trailer, of sorts, for the flagship motherboard meant to welcome Intel's upcoming Haswell central processing units.

We've already seen the chips up for pre-order, and motherboard makers always provide info on their items, and sometimes the items themselves, in advance of the CPUs.

MSI's mainboard is called Big Bang Z87 XPower and will help make the best PCs when the Core i7-4770K or Core i5-4670K CPUs are used (LGA 1150 socket).

It seems to be colored black and gold. There will probably be a lot of real gold involved actually.

The VRM and chipset heatsinks have a glowing X on them too, and we seem to spot, in the pictures released along with the video, an mSATA or mini PCI Express slot too.
