    MSI AM3+ 990FX Spotted

    Looks like they may have finally done the pwm section right...

    I wonder if we all realized this was impossible already due to the size of PWM section needed to fully support a 125w TDP CPU and the size of AMD's chipsets...

    really eventful year coming! Am3+ , Llano,zacate, C400 SSD's, g3 ssd's, SB, new OCZ ssd pci-e which is 1gb in speed.. ><

    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    Yep, I'm gonna have to hurry up and put some rigs together to sell on Craigslist...

    I've always liked MSI but the power section of their boards have been a little weak since Phenom was released... Hopefully they'll get it right this time around.

    Asus has been pretty good to me the last couple years, but the HT float on the C4F has been giving me fits and they don't seem to be in any hurry to fix it (if they even can)...

    I think I'm ready to go back to MSI as long as they get things right, and from the looks of that board my hopes are raised....

    yes, diferents is free slots (pin slots) AM3 vs AM3+. But for AM3+ it was necessary step, because new features for performance etc

    Looks cute, 10VRM will probably make this model good overclocking motherboard, but somehow this NB cooler and the lack of VRM cooler smells as lots of troubles and extra fans "flying" inside of the case

    Good looking board.
    Yeah, PWM looks decent. Need more info about it than just pictures, though.
    Wonder what the pricing is going to be... It looks quite expensive.
