After teasing it in a lineup of Intel-based motherboards with USB 3.1, MSI has now officially announced its first AMD motherboard with USB 3.1, the 970A SLI Krait Edition.

Featuring a black and white color scheme, the new MSI 970A SLI Krait Edition motherboard is based on AMD's 970 chipset with AM3+ socket, comes with two PCI-Express x16 slots, two standard PCI slots and two PCI-Express x1 slots, support for up to 32GB of DDR3-2133 memory in dual-channel, has six SATA 6Gbps ports and now features two USB 3.1 ports at the rear.

It also comes with MSI's Military Class 4 components and plenty of other high-end features which you would expect from Krait Edition motherboard based on AMD's 970 chipset.

Unfortunately, MSI did not reveal any details regarding the precise availability date or the price but we guess that we will see it on retail/e-tail shelves soon.
