WTG, MSI with your K9N SLI.

Ξ July 30th, 2006 | → | ∇ |

Ah man, we spent a whole weekend testing it and I’ve spent most of the last week writing it up then Thursday (20th) Tim gets a call saying the board we have isn’t retail spec and they immediently sent over a new one. Basically the first one we got was “pre production” V1.0 and the one we tested again was V1.1 “retail”. The worrying thing is that people on Bit forums have mentioned being able to buy V1.0 K9Ns, which are effectively un-upgradable via software so they are stuck. If you want to be an early adopter the only ONLY board I’d ever suggest buying as soon as it’s released are Intel’s own brand of boards, for obviously, Intel processors though.

It’s a fast board mind, but only if you plan to not overclock. I’d still splash out on a 590 SLI though simply because the MCP extras are worth the money.
