MSI to offer 55% launch-day discount on P55 motherboards

Would it be wrong of me to say that i would spend the extra little bit for the GD80 because it looks better?

The G80 just looks so much better though, to be fair there will probably only be £20 difference between the 2 with the 55% deal
 
20 quid towards some memory or something though isn't it :p

I'll probably cave in with the GD80 afterall it's something that's going to last a couple of years
 
Gonna grab a GD65 tomorrow and keep it for a rainy day - at £60, it's pocket money! This is a great deal, well done MSI.

lol, to be honest though, after looking though those reviews you posted and the specs on the msi website, the extra features of the GD80 over the 65 seem rather gimicky, like touch sensitive buttons over normal ones, the "V-switches" and the NB heatsink with no NB. Unless you want the ultimate bling of the buttons and shiny heat spreaders, go with the GD65!
 
By one board per customer do they mean 1 of each or just 1? as I might grab both so i can compare them & then keep one for a second build

Damnit read the thread!

They both have a Vcore metre and power button! The only differences are an extra pointless heatsink and tri-sli.
 
Won't someone make up my mind for me :(

I doubt il ever go tri-sli, the touch sensitive buttons are a gimmick yet quite nice, the only thing i can see coming in handy is the debugging displays for troubleshooting if something goes wrong, saves me having to post a 'HELP ME' thread on here when i can't figure it out as i could just look it up. It also looks better and i have ft01 with window so thats a plus. It's only £20 but im in university without a job atm, every penny counts :p

I know. The V core meter allows for a multi meter, the V switches are switches for overvolting.

and yes they both ahve power buttons, the gd 80 is touch sensitve, the gd65 not. all of which i said in my post.

read the msi web site and my post again.

DO I HAVE THIS RIGHT ?

The i5 platform does not support Hyperthreading, therefore the maximum number of threads that can be run simultaneously on any hyperthreading application would be 4,
as opposed to 16 threads on the i7 platform ?
