Since Z87-powered Haswell motherboards, and B85 ones for that matter, are coming out, or at least getting leaked, it's obvious that Micro-Star International has a few just outside the door too.

MSI hasn't actually launched the Z87 XPower yet, but a teaser picture has made its way to the Internet, via WCCFtech.

I've embedded it above, for your viewing pleasure.

The motherboard has five PCI-e 3.0 x16 and two PCI-e 3.0 x1 slots, 16 VRM Phases, Quad-Way SLI and CrossFireX multi-GPU functionality, 12 USB 3.0 ports, mSATA, various overclocking features (including OC Genie 4 engine,Power On/Off, Clear CMOS, Voltage adjustments, clock adjustments and voltage measurement points) and four DDR3 DIMM memory slots.

MSI even tossed in some O.C essential accessories, and a BCLK adjustment switch (allows users to adjust the CPU via motherboard in real-time).

Prices and availability are to be announced.
