This new Mobo looks good. Audigy2 onboard sound incl EAX3.0 support 7.1 Audio and HTT up to 300mhz!

Have a look..... http://tomshardware.co.uk/2006/01/26/msi_k8n_diamond_plus_uk/

What do you think?

OCUK are getting it in a few weeks

My old K8N sli platinum (1 or 2 below the diamond I think) topped out at ~320 HTT. They're nice clockers although no vdimm above 2.85v, which is primarily why I switched to DFI. I picked up a bare SLI-FI as a backup board last week which I've yet to test, I shall let you know how I get on.

edit, they've had the diamond before I believe, no?

This is the diamond plus though, which is new. The first Diamond board was MSI's first 939 offering I think

As far as the HTT goes, I very much doubt that most of the current Opty's or X2's would even get past 280

Ah the plus! I shall read the article then

NB heatpipe cooler, nice start.

4.1v vdimm, lovely!

I still think it has the volting problem though
