COMMENTARY:
This board is very stable and fast, use my amd 5000 + at 3.0 GHz with a temperature of 32 0C in windows and playing a full day, maximum temperature of 48 0C.
It has the lowest price for board using the 790FX chipset AMD, good design and solid capacitors with a high
performance, good realteck ALC888 HD Audio 7.1.
THE BIOS: ver. 1.4, excelent for overclok, estable and complete.
UNIQUE PROBLEM:The Pipe circles and the PCI Express 1, 16x is very close, if you buy an HD-3850, 3870 ETC will have to adapt, because they collide.
I have a hd3650 and I have no problem, but purchases a hd3850 and I'm worried.

First board was dead...pretty happy after the RMA |
This board is packed with great features, but it also has a few quirks.
The heat pipes have serious potential to interfere when you are working. Be careful b/c the fins bend easily. Also, the RAM slots are pretty tight...my OCZ w/ heat spreaders fit, but i have seen some that probably wouldnt. if you have a big honkin GPU, don't count on being able to use the PCIX 1X slot. the IDE plug can be hard to get to in some cases b/c it faces out.
i love the highly avail USB and IEEE1394 headers as well as the eSATA. RAID was very easy to setup, but i still need 2-3 more SATA plugs (maybe i just have too many drives).
I REALLY wish this had dual onboard LAN.
i really like the BIOS...the settings are easy to use and understand and there is a lot of control on the back end. i have only had ASUS boards in the past, but i think i am now an MSI guy. |

its not a bad board works good only problem i have is half the drivers are junk that come with it. the dual core monitor that comes with it gives a blue screen of death constantly if you install it.If you have a phenom on your board. you hafto do a system restore or a complete wipe to fix the problem from what i can see.Also MSI live updater that comes with it gives nothing but errors when you use it so i dont even bother,im using vista 64bit so that might be why i never tried on XP system. you really dont need the drivers cd that comes with it. but I give it 4 stars even thow the drivers dont work well the board itself works good in crossfire. System specs. Phenom 9850BE 2.5ghz non oc,4gig pc6400 patriot extreme. ati hd 3870 512mb. |

Crossfire-X...Here I Come... |
Although it lacks support for more than one IDE hook-up, this motherboard performs rather well. The chipset is kept cool by a nice heatsink setup and the BIOS supports quite a few options. I'm not overclocking so no feedback for that area of expertise. Manual setup for the memory timings was a little confusing for me, but nothing too hard to figure out with a little patience.
I have one dislike about this card: for single card setup you must use the first PCI-E slot which limits you for cooling options. I'll be installing a second card soon.
Other than the requirement to use that slot this mobo is very stable and runs smoothly. I'd recommend it to anyone needing a Crossfire upgrade option. |

Quality product. |
I am using these in my new build and were recognized immediately using windows xp 64 bit edition. Very very fast. can be overclocked but I just set them at their default and work perfect
