Get Rainbow Six Siege with select MSI motherboards

PC gamers that have been waiting to upgrade their rigs are about to get rewarded: components vendor MSI has announced that it is giving away a free game code for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege with Z170A Krait Gaming R6 Siege and Z170A Gaming M5 motherboards.

Customers that buy a motherboard between now and the 1st of March will receive a free code to download and play Rainbow Six Siege. All they have to do to to get the code, is to register their new motherboards with MSI online. Once done, MSI will send over a code to redeem through Ubisoft’s Uplay content platform.

So what about the motherboards?

Z170A motherboards are designed to fit the 6th-Generation Intel Celeron, Pentium and Core processors and use the Intel Z170 chipset. The motherboards also support the latest DDR4 memory architecture starting at speeds of 2 133MHz and going up to 3 600MHz if you choose to overclock the memory.

Both of the ATX boards have support for two-way NVIDIA SLI configurations as well as support for three-way AMD Crossfire setups – brilliant news for those of you with multiple graphics cards.

MSI has included USB Type-C ports in both motherboards as well as up to six USB 3.1 Gen1 ports.

Perhaps our favourite thing about these motherboards is the variety of storage connectors MSI has given them. You’ll find two SATA 6Gb/s and four SATA Express ports with support for RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10. There are also two M.2 slots that can be configured in RAID 0 and RAID 1.

Buyer Beware

As a bit of a disclaimer, there have been reports that suggest Skylake processors can bend under the pressure of some third-party CPU coolers during transit, something to consider before making a final buying decision.

That said, as long as you aren’t planning on dropping your PC or you don’t move it around very often, it’s very difficult to ignore the temptation of a new motherboard and a free game.

Each board costs the following from Takealot:

Z170A Krait Gaming R6 Siege: R2 999
Z170A Gaming M5
: R3 499
