Looks decent, hopefully they can bring up the reliability of their MB up to spec.

I've pushed my GD70 pretty hard on both air and water and not had any issues. I've not had any problems with this G65 either. Though it seems like a luck of the draw but I've had no issues with my first and past two MSI motherboards.Quote:

the old K9A2 CF were utter crap, but honestly a sub 100$ AMD motherboard with a heatsink on fets is going to be pretty reliable considering the price paid. the difference between a 80$ and 200$ board is not much for average users and OCer, and thats a good thing with so many AMD fans loving the price/perf offered.Quote:

It's a good-looking mobo, i hope msi turns this one out right. Anyone have any idea if EVGA will be putting out any AM3+ boards??
Unlikely, since they haven't made any AMD boards so far.
Probably do as many AM3+ as they did AM3 and AM2.Quote:

So I shall expect 2 AM3+ mobos from eVGA... haHA!
eVGA's mobo team left for the Sapphire pastures some time ago. Maybe not everybody, but enough to get in the news. :p:Quote:

Still - I'm really looking forward to BD - i want to move from intel (e8500) to a AMD setup
since AM3 cpus have to fit into AM3+ boards the changes could not be very drasticQuote:

Socket AM3b:
Maybe DrMOS based PWM is not the best for extrem OC but it's still very good for a reasonable 24/7 OC with air or water. It's efficient and gives stable voltages which is sadly not an evident thing on many ASUS mobos for example.:shakes:Quote:
