MSI 890FXA-GD65

Zitat: Our only other motherboard review from MSI was for the 890GXA-GD65 , which we gave a pretty high award for due to its incredible list of features and overclocking possibilities. That motherboard alone was enough for me to think highly of MSI. The new 890FXA-GD65 is just another fine example of what MSI is capable of. Mated with any of the AMD AM3 processors and you simply cannot go wrong! The motherboard overclocks very well for, better if you consider it´s price bracket. It was able to take our slightly outdated Quad Core Black Edition 965 to a healthy 4182MHz, from the default 3400MHz. Able to do it with a mere 1.5 volts being pumped into the processor. Also, for those with X2 and X3 based on the Deneb, you could be in for a nice surprise since the 890FXA-GD65 has the potential to unlock them for you. It is not often I talk about the software that comes with a motherboard, but this time it is different. MSI has thrown together one of the best software packages I have ever seen. Not only do you get the overclocking and monitoring applications with their Control Center, but you get smaller discrete applications that I will find myself using. One of the handiest would be the AutoBoot app that will shut down or turn on your PC on at a predetermined time. Nice to come home and find the PC ready for you to get to work, knowing you didn´t have to waste money by keeping it powered and idling. For $140, the MSI 890FXA-GD65 is quite a bargain. At this price you get all that we stated above, as well as very high quality components, which again were literally intended for military-class electrical components. It seems that MSI is taking reliability and stability to a whole new level. Even then, if something was to go wrong with the motherboard, MSI backs it up with a three year limited warranty. Lastly, the talk around the town about this motherboard is if it really is compatible with the upcoming AMD Bulldozer AM3+ processor. A lot of people think this is a label mistake on MSI´s part. With as smart as they are, I am sure MSI would have fixed that before offering me a sample (not to mention letting it get to retail), knowing that I would put it in this review. So, the ability to upgrade to the next great processor is also a big plus for this board.
