Fantastic board like all MSI products, Board booted and detected all hardware first boot, without any tweaks.
Detected Phenom II x4 810 @ 2.6ghz first boot, simple flip of the easy OC switch over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz, and ran stable.
Also installed G.SKILL 4GB DDR3 @ 1333 mhz, board detected ram at advertised ratings without any tweaks.
Upgraded board with new components on existing Windows Vista Enterprise installation without having to reinstall.
Board is able to hybrid cross-fire using only 1 PCI-express card and the onboard HD video.
Bios has a ton of OC options.
Dual slot PCI-e cards will cover one of the PCI-e x1 slots.
It's not black and blue like the MSI 790FX-GD70 =]
The pretty blue LED's above the RAM channels are nice.
Has a lot of options in BIOS
The board died for me after 3 months of use. I was using my computer and all of a sudden it powered down. It refused to start up and diagnostic LED1 on the board wasn't lit.
Apparently I'm not the only person with this problem as well as there are multiple forum posts of people with LED1 problems with the exact same symptoms as me.
I'm hoping the RMA process for this board is quick, if it is then this board is probably worth 4 stars as it worked fine. If not I don't think I'll ever buy a MSI product ever again.
