without msi written on it one could mistake it for a abit board
good to see msi learned a lesson if it comes to layout, that board certainly helps increasing the cant wait for nehalem factor for me.

lol!! thats what I thought, probally stole the ideas from Abit the heatsinks as well as color layout are virtually identical.Originally Posted by naokaji

turbo button rocks but will the board rock too?
I like those little switches very much!
But why two with the power symbol? Only clutters the area and complicates things...
Also any ideas of that little DIP switch labeled "cpu clk1"?
It's probably still an early sample so the symbols on those buttons will probably change, just my guess though.

Well, as far as I'm concerned these x58 boards all look sexy to me. In the fall it will be probably to much to resist.
Black and blue, very sexy! And no lollercoaster!

That really looks top quality.
Is it just me though or does one set of pictures have 2 black pci-e 16's and a blue, and the other with heatsinks has 3 black
If you have a cooling question or concern feel free to contact me.
Very nice looking board. Clean layout and with a decent colour scheme, a combo thats becoming increasingly rare.
oooh, exciting.
My brother had one of those. One of its USB ports fried my ipod, and there would be sparks from the USB whenever you would pull a mouse or whatever out of it. Also, it would often shut down after pulling/plugging something into the USB ports.I hope MSI returns with the X58 back to K8N Neo2 Platinum popularity levels

Then, one day, my brother said one of the USB ports began to output a thick, quick-moving stream of dark smoke. He immediately unplugged the computer, and the motherboard never worked again.
Talk about a fire-hazard. Geez, lucky he was there.
Don't know about MSI after that incident...
This was all after of course about 4-5 years of usage but still...

Definitely a change in a good way for MSI. I like the layout, color scheme and, like everyone else, 10 SATA connectors.

EK-RES 250 --> Swiftech MCP655 --> Apogee GTZ --> Enzotech Sapphire NB --> Feser X-Changer 360
yes i include the external connectors also, i have at least one external sata device connected to my pc, right now i need a bracket for that which costs me internal connectors and with 6 other sata devices 8 total connectors just dont cut it anymore.I count 10 unless you are including the 2 eSATA.
- Separate mosfet sink
- very good pci-e/pci layout
- 10 sata ports
- Clear cmos button on rear panel
etc
Soo awesome!
If it overclocks well ill probably get one... im a bit cautious because its MSI, they usually find a way of messing it up in the end

Uh-oh. Turbo button?
I have an ominous feeling about this...
You were not supposed to see this.
Love the layout, but what's with the power regulation?
Seems a little... gimped compared to P6T and all.
Good layout.

The board has undergone some significant changes since it first appeared at Computex...
- Removed on-board audio
- Changed slot layout (presumably for audio add-in card)
- Removed power connector near first peg slot
- More power phases near X58
Last but not least they got rid of the ugly deal-breaker colors. The way I see it, all other things being equal, why buy the ugly one?
The new revision of that board is pure MSI seckz.
nearly perfect PCIE placement, the only problem are the last 2 which should switch places with the 2 PCI. Cause you cant possibly put anything on the last PCIE as it is so close to the usb and case connectors.
