920-4.1GHz; It has it ALL 100% happy!
- Pros: This thing runs FULL 16x 16x 16x when populated with all 3 slots filled in SLI OR Crossfire. I was able to OC the board to 4.1 On 920 with no problems. Another cool thing about this board is all of its included SATA Ports. It has 6 SATA ports with the integrated Intel ICH10R as well as Two JMicron 322 chips for the other internal 4 SATA ports and the other for the 2 eSATA ports on the back. The sound card also is a nice inclusion and works nicely. This board has it ALL; It came with every accessory you could ever want and or need. The boards lay out is great as well. All of the onboard buttons are easy to get to and easy to read with there backlit LED's. The MSI tech support was actually pretty good, I was able to both call and send in a ticket with tech support where I was able to get the newest Beta BIOS from there file servers.
- Cons: The only con I have been able to find is that the D-LED2 Would not let the board work right, It seamed to just make the board buggy. This is not a big deal to me as the only thing it is used for is the OC dial that you can turn on the fly to change the clock speed of the CPU. The IOH temp is a little hot, I was able to fix this by putting Arctic Silver 5 in place of the stuff it comes with. You can also put a small fan on it.
- Other Thoughts: As for those who have complained I will respond.
--"Bios is weird, raid set up was not normal" Everything about this board is Normal , the Intel Raid setup is 100% normal. The JMicron Raid for an OS requires Driver install at setup.
--"ram at 1.65v?" I was easily able to OC my ram at 1.65 and even up the voltage.
Disapointed
- Pros: The Specs are awesome, looks great. Just what i wanted.
- Cons: Did not work, No post with Dled2, ran horrible after trouble shooting that, couldn't even install windows. The "buttons" on the board for reset, power and dled2, ect 3 of them would stick.
Bios is weird, raid set up was not normal to most bios that i have dealt with.
- Other Thoughts: Should have read the reviews more... Really wanted it to work, had all the specs that i wanted. Expected perfection for that kind of money.
Went with a EVGA e760 Classified and it booted with the same hardware first time, every time.
some problems but running good now with a 4G OC
- Pros: good lay out ,can OC easy ,running 920 i7 at 4g,on water cooler temps 37c ,it was free (birthday gift from my son)I would of given it a 5 egg but there is a problem with the NB cooling you must install fans on the NB to keep it cool I used two 30mmx30mm fans on the NB and a 40mmx40mm fan on the SB "all is cool now"
- Cons: this is not a MB for the frist time builder !so if you think your just going to pull it out of the box and it going to run like a rockit it's not !lots of stuff to set in the bios, driver problem with creative sound card must install in vista mode when installing win7
- Other Thoughts: have liked all the msi MB that have ( p4n diamond,p6n diamond )and there still running and now the eclipe plus I'm hoping it will be good too
