Earlier referred to as "Big Bang Conqueror", MSI's next top-end AMD
platform motherboard has emerged under its final name, 990FXA-GD80. The
socket AM3+ motherboard that supports AMD's upcoming FX series
processors, is based on the AMD 990FX + SB950 chipset. The CPU is
powered by a 10-phase VRM that makes use of tantalum-core capacitors,
and SFC chokes (that don't whine), driver-MOSFETs (DrMOS). Expansion
slots include four PCI-Express 2.0 x16, supporting NVIDIA SLI and AMD
CrossFireX; two PCI-E x1, and a PCI.
Storage is mostly care of the southbridge, all its six SATA 6 Gb/s ports
are assigned as internal ports; a third-party SATA 3 Gb/s controller
handles rear-panel eSATA. There are two USB 3.0 controllers, driving two
ports on the rear panel, and two via an angled internal header. Other
connectivity includes 8+2 channel HD audio with THX TruStudio Pro
support, gigabit Ethernet, and FireWire. A number of MSI-exclusives are
bundled, including MSI-designed graphical UEFI setup program (click
BIOS), and OC Genie II that is overclocking with side-wheels. Expect the
MSI 990FXA-GD80 to be out in mid-June, at a US $175~$250 price range.
