Quadfire HD2900XT. Now that would be an xtreme hit to the wallet.The K9A2 Platinum comes with no less than four PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots for Quadfire (aka Double-Crossfire)
msis motherboards' layout/pcie slots are above all others
what about overcloking?
Not really. Buy four 2900 Pro's, flash to XT. Tada.Originally Posted by xenolith
They've made a few good boards in history, to name a few..
K7N2 Delta ILSR
K8N Neo2 Platinum
K8N Neo4 Platinum
K9N Platinum
And their P35 boards are real good as well. Other than that, they're kinda "meh," and that's coming from me, a huge MSI "fanboy."

Samsung F4 320GB - WD Green 1TB
Xigmatek Utgard Case - Corsair VX550
Thats a nice layout but looks kinda small and wimpy to me
MSI's boards as of late have been good. I still don't like their mobos that much, considering there are much better options out there.
I do like their ATi video cards though

It seems to me if that PCI-E 1x becomes useful anytime soon, that this board wouldn't be the choice?
With a dual-slot card, wouldn't that one PCI-E 1x become covered?
I have never purchased an MSI before, only eVGA, ASUS, and Gigabyte.
and, I don't think I will be.
Intel Core 2 Quad with a 45nm support motherboard == Me having minimal work when awesome Penryn comes around!
Quad Crossfire though?
I hope it isn't all hyped up.
The hyper of the card was bad enough.
Now, a hype involving the cards use?
But, if it is done well, that would SO be awesome.

I used to have a K7N2 DeltaII-LSR :o
MSI boards are pretty sweet. They don't seem to put the same amount of effort into some boards, compared to others they make.
Computer:
Case: Corsair 750D Airflow Edition
Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus X570 Ultra
RAM: Team TForce Xtreem ARGB 3600C14 2x16gb XMP
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5900x
Graphics: EVGA (rip) RTX 3080 FTW3
PSU: Seasonic Focus GX 850w
Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm
NVMe: SKHynix P41 Platinum, Samsung 980 Pro 2tb
SSD: Micron 1100 2TB, Samsung 860 Evo 1tb
HDD: WD SE 2TB, WD Black 1tb 3 platter with over 10 years of power-on time
If MSI can deliver something like the K8 Neo 2 Platinum again, it will be awesome.
All solid caps

Glad to see these becoming a reality. Not a big fan of MSI, but I'm sure others will follow soon.
I am too....
MSI is great, I started out on a 694T-Pro with a VIA Apollo 133T chipset... got my old Tualatin celeron from 1200MHz to 1546.... stock cooler +RAM...
GO MSI!

minus the Molex, it is rather decent
Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

Modern Ram, makes an old overclocker miss BH-5 and the fun it was
I've never heard of anyone using the molex connector on the mobo...

notice the white molex connector by the PCIe/northbridge heatsink

Oh that's what you're talking about. It is in a bad spot.notice the white molex connector by the PCIe/northbridge heatsink
If MSI had a better reputation, I'm sure they'd be more popular, but their reputation isn't that great amongst overclockers. Although you have to keep in mind they are one of the top providers of mobos to OEMs behind Foxconn and Asus.

amazing seeing 4xslots
people with this mobo will need an electrician to install a direct power source from the meter
Yes, the molex could have been placed better maybe along of the edge by the 8Pin EPS or by the 24 Pin Power
To know how MSI overclocks just check my sig or F3 OC thread in AMD section!
Surly this is not a DFI LP or ASUS CF but hey, I paid 40 quids for my mobo!
Looking forward to RD790....
