This review is from: MSI 970A-G46 AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Pros:
So many many awesome features. Looks nice. core unlocker , auto overclocker , great update bios feature. New Egg did send me Lots of discounts on other computer components so I saved $10 ,But they didn't give me a discount on Mobo's but that' s ok . New Egg is great with returns or any issues I have ever had.
Cons:
Board is very flexible. Almost blew my CPU only at complete idle in the BIOS. Amd althon 445 x3 CPU. MSI has a lot of mobo's with VRM issues. This one is said to be ok after updates . takes a long time to boot up. weird start up screens , no info on boot up screens . I had to pay $13 for shipping it back to new egg, But I guess it's my fault for buying a none working equipment.
Overall Review:
I was going to go with MSI because I have heard they make great Video cards but this motherboard was a no go for me and I will tell all of my customers to not even bother. I'm not upset though
