Sometimes conclusions come easily. A product has a certain market, or has one particular feature that springs to mind, and the words just flow. Other times I can sit for a while mulling over what to say.Today is one such time. But not for a moment...
The MSI 890GXM-G65 is an interesting board in that it has the features to be among the best in the business with the support for both USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps and Active Phase Switching in both Linux as well as Windows. The bundle is rather lackluster...
The slightly upgraded integrated GPU, the USB 3 ports and SATA 6Gbps support are the most significant differences of the MSI 890GXM-G65 over the previous . However, losing the ability to unlock disabled CPU cores (which the 785G range has, but we were...
The MSI 890GXM-E65 board is on sale for about €109,97 while ASRock 890GX Extreme 3 will set you back €99,44. If you want to spare some bucks you can go for the ASRock 880G Extreme 3 board with a 880G Chipset, which clocks 140MHz slower at 560MHz but has...
