EVGA seem to produce motherboards for a while then you dont see any boards from them for some time. Had an s775 nforce 680i sli board from EVGA. Was good with dual core cpu's but wouldnt clock quads well, 45nm models didnt work in it at all. Found their supposedly good warranty to be a bit rubbish too.

I can remember boards all the way back to around 1998, but I didn't even realise EVGA went as far back as 680i, thought all their boards came out on intel chipset lol. :o :)

Last MSI motherboard I had was a Z68-GD65-G3 (I think it was G3, not sure).

That was my first MSI board, I bought it within a week of release, the UEFI didn't work properly at first, lots of problems for me to.

Also it woudn't let me bench my 2500K above 4.9GHz, my MSI Z77 Mpower would let me in Windows with 5.4GHz with the same CPU, same with my Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H.

I was also not a fan of MSI's inclusion of the Killer NIC card which seemed to be where a lot of the problem came from. Including it seemed like something that could only fail. It either causes problems or at best, doesn't really add anything. Also, Dragons? Really? Is their entire target audience 12-year old boys?

Yeah too much marketing hype with MSI, but if it sells motherboards then they are doing something right, although this is abit ridiculous lol.


They do some good promotions, can get a free Call of Duty®: Ghosts game with MPower boards till end of December at the moment >> http://www.overclockers.co.uk/LP/msi_cod_ghosts_promo.php

Worth watching this, not sure about onboard, but the external Intel Nic is better according to this. I want to see onboard vs external Intel Nic comparison.

I had an issue installing the drivers on Win 8 on the Killer NIC, wouldn't take the ones of the disc and because i had just built the PC from scratch i had to download the drivers from work, so lost a day or 2 before i could download any of my games on steam, and couldn't access my backup of the NAS drive to install most of my programs :(

All working in the end though and happy with the board, clock my has well to 4.4 and it runs sweet as a nut at 37, deg

I would also like to know if there is any word on the ITX boards coming in. I also have one pre-ordered, and not knowing if it'll be 5 days or 5 weeks is rather disconcerting. If there is any chance you could do some hunting on this matter I'm sure many users (including myself) would greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks!
