Im not sure about that, i dont like the fact that i read about several dead boards in the amd section. You dont read about that in the intel section, that a board died of to much voltage.

I rather pay a little extra and be save then sorry.

MSI use other VRMs (Integrated Driver Mosfet-> there 5 phases equal to 10 analogue phases from GB/Asus )


edit:
Woot just checked there website and there 790GX board uses DrMOS. Nice thats the only board i would consider to buy and the M3A79-T Deluxe, but its only a 790FX board.
