 That's the thing that puts me off. It's a good product, no doubt, but seriously overpriced for its features included.HTC also has its own problems, but they make excellent hardwares. Software side, they are still better than most others WM phones, but still not up to iPhone usability. Okok, off topic. | |

Reputation: 3294 Rep Power: 48 | well, the issue here is, MSI wants the us to believe their mobos are as good as those made by asus/gigabyte, which isn;t the case. they are going backward in term of getting a product that an enthusiast would like to buy. hybrid cooler? overkill northbridge passive heatsink? green power design? what's next? I bet would be the incorporation of an embedded linux os, or probably TPM-support. you can't find a handy, built-in BIOS flashing utility in the BIOS, you are required to mess around with jumpers to get the n.strap right, overclockability is just hopeless, and most samples sent out are loaded with beta BIOS. jeezz. Even Biostar is making better stuff than them.

Reputation: 4649 Rep Power: 82 | I think MSI never make solid products from the beginning.  I had experience with MSI since the ALI Aladdin 5 chipset (MS5169 if I remember correctly), and KT3 Pro. That 5169 board was crap. KT3 Pro was OK, but nothing really special.Actually I also have bad experiences with Asus board too.  From 925X to A8V Deluxe. |

Reputation: 98 Rep Power: 2 | I haven't bought an MSI board since the athlon xp era. No I've never had a positive experience with them ever. My experience with Asus' high end boards (on both 775 and AM2) has been massively positive. With gigabyte I find their high end boards somewhat lacking in a way (they're still okay) but their midrange products are extremely good value (namely the P31/EP31-DS3L), overclock well and are rock solid.

Reputation: 3294 Rep Power: 48 | the high-end K8 stuff by MSI was quite solid. the diamond and plat series. apart from that, can't really recall any good experience with MSI boards.
