MSI Eclipse SLI LGA 1366 Motherboard

[1DigitalFlow]

the northbridge/southbridge is poorly secures, replace the plastic push pins with plastic screws, the heatsink isnt firmyl secure. simply pressing it with your finger will drop temps 15-20C

[digson1]

slip . mi come

[achinism]

@smallville0forever It's strange, I actually read something similar in another review. Any guess why such high temps despite of such humongous copper heatsink? This is a super highend board and should not suffer from such a problame like overheating.

[Joserpillarramos1]

to extream

[aquino80]

yo papa i need a lil help here i just upgrade my mb its a msi how the hell do i boot to install windows i try f8 and it dose not work help thanks

[tutor432]

POPEbeniDICK69:

what a fukin liar. i bet you run windows.

[hmcmil1]

Great freaking review of this board! Covered every one of my questions including ferrite chokes and how many the board has in general! Thanks.

[hmcmil1]

Uncore not Encore for captions.

I bought a MSI motherboard and am worried I didn't buy asus. Is MSI a good reliable motherboard?

[mrpuddlemrpuddle]

I have owned many motherboards in my life time and I can say without a doubt that it is a very good, reliable company and you shouldn't worry. ASUS is also a good company but you will always here mixed things about each. Don't fear and enjoy your pick. I'm sure you wont have any problems. If you do ether company will correct the problem. I hope I helped.

[FELIX0123]

wow, that's alot 24GB of memory (RAM)

[POPEbeniDICK69]

i am using this mobo also MSI Eclipse SLI LGA 1366 and my computer scpecs is

Mobo: MSI Eclipse SLI LGA 1366

CPU: Intel core i7

Ram: 6x 4GB (1600) total of 24GBs

HDD: 3x 1TB sata. total of 3TB or 3000GB

DISPLAY: NVIDIA GeForce 9800gt 2GB 512bit

PSU: 1200 watts

it really run great as hell specially in gaming! it runs all the high graphic games of now.. very great! it never hangs up even if I simulteneously open all my games,application,etc.. In short, my PC never surrenders. Fuck you all!

[snowboarder629]

POPEbeniDICK69: why do you need a 1200w power supply for only a single 9800gt, and also its too bad the 9800 doesn't even have 2 gigs of ram.

[halflifefan84]

@snowboarder629 I have a 650watt PSU for my 9800gt, and my shitty quad core, that's even too much.

[tndrckr]

@POPEbeniDICK69 fuck me lol wanna meet somewhere so i can kick your ass you stupid fuck and 9800 gt 2 gigs 512 bit LOL especially lol at 512 bit

[joeenzor]

I have the MSI X58 Pro-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard... AMAZING!

Running with the i7 920

[joeenzor]

Mine was $189.99 from Newegg.

Once again, it's amazing.

[esponert105]

wats a good speaker for this? i want to use 7.1 and the spdif output thingy

[EvilDante2000]

LOL it's blue not black 2:37 or maybe i'm color blind XD

[multimodder]

thats overkill

[minhmeo1209]

WOW

Expensive

[Crinale819]

just wanna know, whats best between ide and sata interface?

[fergoway2go]

crinale819* ide blocks air flow with the masiv cables and sata is faster dont know how much faster but sata is the best choice

[cjgan80]

Always get the Sata , since the transfer rate is faster than IDE and the wiring job is much better which suprisingly increase air flow inside the case

[Falhok]

awesomeness

[asus3571]

hate to say it but msi still make junk they are getting better though if i was going to get an msi board id get the gd80

[sp4wners]

Got this mobo. it's great :)

[traingp7]

You can buy 12 gb triple channel kits running at 1333 mhz ddr3 from crucial now. 24 gbs for only 1700 bucks. 12 gb kits were suppost to be cheap by now and i'm pissed they are still fucking exspensive.

[muffins99]

Is this the best gaming motherboard?

[seguigara]

ther is no such a thing like the best gaming motherboard, see is this motherboard fullfill your needs first, if not check the others, look for reviews on the internet and then make a decision

[Foellarbear]

haha no of course not.

[namitakami76]

You got to bekidding me ? 24 GIG. of DDR3 in each slot ? But right now only 2 gig of ddr3,way to far ...

[undeadshooter]

why are you so amazed at this? look up extended ATX motherboards then you'll know what overkill is >_>

[DarkSilentSC]

eVGA Classified series, for example.

[Whitehorze]

The dimm slots will support the 4gig per stick memory sticks. x 6 = 24 gigs total system memory. I've heard that you "should" have 4 gigs of memory per GPU...

The problem i see is that with a full sized GPU on the bottom slot you block off the bottom connectors and power / reset buttons...

I see that problem on alot of boards...

[spoonard]

I just ordered this board and a Core i7 920. Should be here tomorrow! Hope everything works on the first try! lol

[IR0BI]

how was everything? I ordered the eclipse plus, should be here tomorrow but I need to order the 920...

[Mindhunt44]

Uhm, dude that last BLACK one is actually BLUE

[akfool49]

Lol copper?

[sp4wners]

I've just ordered this mobo with 2x GTX260 Lightning xD It should come today :D

[tndrckr]

damn how does ur pc run with 2 260s?

[adroitsystem5]

nice board!

[fgherger]

AMD ain't shit. It kept performance lead over intel from the launch of the original Athlon through the launch of the Core 2 Duo. P4 was shit, until it lasted, AMD was the leader. That's no small feat facing a big company as Intel.

Now it's completely different. Intel is undisputable in high end section. But AMD is still competitive in mainstream and low end. It will be even more competitive now that it was fined by the EU for bullying vendors to drop AMD.

[pyro1056]

Yeah. AMD beat Intel with the original Athlon for a few years when it launched, which is one of the reason why I like them better than Intel, but now its not too strong in the extreme performance end. I mean, the Phenom II X4 is 3.2 Ghz, but I would still get an Intel. Intel is bigger, and thus I would have a better choice of warranties, repair services and the like. I like AMD better than Intel, but I would still buy Intel for an extreme gaming machine.

[EADPE]

BS everything is intel for intel BS, What about Amd can be the same comparing with i7 920 and cheaper...Look at this mainboard its beautifull and its the same for AMD buttttttttt expensive for intel just Marketing. I7 with 4 cores and with 4 cores and i7 with 8 logics? its BS big time like P4 HT, smart ppl never get fooled with this logic bs...

[zxicarosxz]

How do I put 24GB on this MB?

[DsNL]

It's easy, just put 4 GB of RAM per memorybank.

[mofra6]

ahah youre right ! theres NO 4Gb ram stick :Dxd

[fgherger]

There is no 4GB module, yet... LOL.

He means that the board is capable to support 24GB, not that it's available right now. Cheaper/inferior boards might fail at supporting 24GB of RAM because it's circuits can't provide enough juice for that much memory.

[FunsterProductions]

4 gb of ddr3 in each slot

[retzbacher39]

Can i put 2 geforce 295 in there ???

cause this would be a (nice) quad sli system and i dunno wether eclipse supported this.

[2point6x4]

has anyone reviewed the MSI 790gx g65 Motherboard yet?

[UAAY01]

MSI Boards are amazing, im gettin this in a week or two

[kpappletech]

I have this board, and it is extremely easy to overclock, and it's a very stable board.

kp

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

hey what speed are you getting? as i was loooking at the evga x58 classified but i just wanted to know ... thanks

[ashrocks87]

hah! another racism bastard..

[nokia26300]

its veryvery cool

[LeSchackal]

get a life

[HazakyProductions]

Wow, u better shut up right here ...

[HazakyProductions]

Whoa, lolo ... u should visit doctor XD

[elmasgrande7]

i have the msi k9a2 cf an is a graat motherboard MSI in perfect!

[kpappletech]

I have this motherboard in my computer, and it is fantastic.

kp

[nipyf3]

The only way to fit 3 cards is to have 1 slot water cooled cards.

[web7days]

if this motherboard provide memory stick, we can perform troubleshooting on future motherboard more conveniently.

[2nmingo]

who need all that crab insanely made lol

[Somone77]

NO FLOPPY BOOOOOOOOOO!

[RockaFeller467]

x16/x16/x1 or x16/x8/x8 weak!! as a gammer i want x16/x16/x16 i say lame board

[anotherPCfreak]

If this is much of cooling power,

you'd only have passive processor coolers.

[slayercft]

I came

[Earthling16]

haha thats kinda funny.

He said this black one is x16 when it was blue.He does that a lot and im starting to think hes turning slightly color blind. Where's Bauer?

[johnelys]

Guys 1 thing i have to tell.....

MSI eclipse is the ultimate tool for a high end pc!

My pc is i7 920 (oc 3,2Ghz, 6.800GT) , m/b msi eclipse sli with the latest beta bios version, 1333 DDR 3 ocz 3GB, asus nvidia 9500gt 512ram (oc\ edition) psu 800watt thermaltake quad sli ready and 1 sata II Barracuda 7200.11 500320 hard disk....

[johnelys]

Guess what, 1st time in my life i play HL2 with all setting to very high and ultra high, 2x AA, vcync = on!!! As for video editing and encoding, this PC is fast like the h....l... ++++++ for msi and i7!!!

[johnelys]

Ps: the only issue with this m/b is chipset' s cooling.... my heats are from 50 to 59 oC instead to 45 and lower..... really i haven't find a cooling solution (air solution with fun) until now because the lower chip is close to PCI X-press port, so with a huge gtx card, ill have architecture problems :s.... thats all, i am glad for my buy!

[MinimeDrummerBoi]

If you turn off vsync, you can take the cap off the 60 fps limit.

[Noniythegamer]

24GB triple channel ram lol.

that mobo is insane.

[nwm151]

Wow, that motherboard is pretty shnazzy. :D

[Razear]

Which mobo is better: this one or the EVGA x-58 SLI?

[akiisdaman]

The Msi eclipse

[Razear]

MSI Eclipse or EVGA x-58 Classified?

[akiisdaman]

not sure about that, havent seen any reviews having them two. srry but its propably the evga classified. :O

[Razear]

Yeah, alright. I'mma have to look for some reviews on that. :)

[MyLemons]

wowowo omg this mobo makes me so horny haha

[rock962000]

fuck i want that mobo

[bilzoo2000]

I like Asus, but I would literally have sex with this board.

[TheGeek1028]

Don't cut yourself on the metal.

[Arkmenra1880]

That is a cornucopia of features of this board! GOD...thank you for turning me into a MSI whore

[Arkmenra1880]

11:00 elegance in its simplicity.....or, quote, "most genius yet dumbess thing..."

[Xertalista]

seriously, what the hell would you want 24gig of ram for? really what would u use it for.

[UssenterprizeDv2]

Crysis only uses 800 MB. I've never broke 2.2 GB but I have 4 kind of a waste. With all those ports heat sinked high speed ddr 3 ram 4 gigs will do plenty for future games and usb 3.0 is coming soon so I'd wait for that.

[rock962000]

when does usb 3.0 come out? and when it does is gonna come on new motherboards or what?

[ctcraam]

It will be faster than SATA 2.0, should hit soon, atleast before 2012.

[rock962000]

thats gay. 2012. fuck , we will all be dead. that is the year of ARMAGEDON

[samthepoor]

tru dat.

2012 the 5th world will begin, some say.

[UssenterprizeDv2]

3.0. Not sure Popular Science said by the end of 2009.

[HongKongKanto]

never e-sata is the future

[TDAWizard]

usb 3.0

[HongKongKanto]

esata and stop reply thing that where 2weeks ago

[EditCrew]

idk maybe people that need to render high quality video, that accually depend on performance for a pay check.....

[Arkmenra1880]

watch multiply F2W porn sites at 24 pages at any one time!

[cybernaab]

lol XD

[AmzooO]

I have a question. Does the Dual Channel kit 2GB (2 x 1GB) or 4GB (2 x 2GB)DDR3 Memory ram work for the x58 motheboard or all DDR3 Memory Ram work for x58 motherboards?

Please Reply

[Altezza447]

na need triple channel ddr3 only no dual channel gotta make sure memory runs 1.6 volts or burn out cpu chip

[GF8800gtx9999]

what do you mean with dual channel????ddr2??????.....on x58 only ddr3 which any frequenzy (1066,1333,160mhz) is supported.....

[martinolatino123]

he means 2 sticks of memory like what the 780i has only 2 memory channels

[AmzooO]

thx for explaining him ;)

[AmzooO]

dual channel memory means DDR2 or DD3 memory that comes with 2 sticks and it's usual for x48 or x38 mobo. Triple Channel are the same but with 3 stick which are specially made for x58 mobo. It takes up to 6 sticks. Dual Chanel of DDR3 are different for the Triple chanel. They usualy have more voltage, between 1.8 to 2.0 but they're all ddr3 memory. But my question was Does the Dual Channel work for the x58 cuz I saw them on sale in a really price but I wasn't sure if it'll work :

[GF8800gtx9999]

got it^^ as far as i know all ddr3 modul are supported by x58....but no ddr2 or ddr :)

[BillBeeny]

Lol, who's gonna use those with i7?

[drakio99]

Actually they only use ddr3 tri channel ram

[eljunv]

are you sure????? would i transfer it to 1st slot or not???

[eljunv]

what if i put my vidcard in the middle or at the lowest pci.e slot,.. will it run x16??? thanks,.

[TehRealEveryName]

It wont work if you using one video card in any other slot than 1. But if it was possible the answer would be yes, they are all PCIe2.0 x16

[UTubeSecretsExposed]

im stumped with all the boards on the market. building a new system should I go with an ASUS Board, XFX Board, EVGA board or an MSI board.

and should I run vista or xp

core 2 quad

4 gig ddr2 1066

any help please wanting to buy it now but don't want a but load of problems trying to stay around $200-$250

[Younowkoed]

the ASUS rampage II extreme has waterblocks preinstalled fopr the north bridge I think.

[ruckuz88]

this is a weeks pay but 24 GB?! oh man.

[kipdokken]

yup, logan is great!

[169ViceCity169]

ya logan made me laugh =P

[codymackay123]

logan was good, but i reckon albert is better, he gets to the point alot better which is what the consumer wants.

[devkamal]

yup logan is great, albert is better, but hey, who cares, its the substance we are looking for.. XD

[AmzooO]

agreed

[1981z28camaro]

is this guy color blind? black?

"The God Damn slot is reeee reee rooooyal Bluuuue!!"

[1981z28camaro]

24 GB, you could run your PC straight for like a year, haha

[MovieKid07]

I got a better board NEW EGG foxconn 99 bucks this card is lame compared to foxconn crossfire and xfire or wut ever? I have 4gs on mine :) and mine CAN run a quad core the future ones beat that lol

[iJuleguy]

This is for Core i7, lol.

[Arthurb06]

Your a freaking retard.

[UTubeSecretsExposed]

I'm new to the hole computer gaming systems but I just stumbled upon it 6 days ago and I am already spending money on building me a system. but I can say its hella expensive. can you imagine how one of these pc would run for producing music or just regular use..? anyway I love the hole gaming scene of these PC's

Just my 2 cents

[1981z28camaro]

yeah, LOGAN was awesome!!

[fran122157]

not enough to play crysis XD

[hussainmushahid]

How much does the gigabyte x58 extreme cost??

[hussainmushahid]

Core i7 965 Extreme isn't worth over core i7 920,its for those who use extreme cooling like LN2 to overclocking.

Corei7 920 is for all who do water/air cooling.

[hussainmushahid]

This board is specially for those who don't want to spend alot of money on a motherboard and want 3=way sli and crossfire support + all the things which are in expencive boards.

[KirkTheGod]

750 dollars for the board, 2,000 for the i7 extreme, about 250 for 24gb of ram, and another 750 for 3 video cards.... might aswell plug it in to your car

[EditCrew]

lmao the board is $360, the processor is alil over $1000, the 24 gigs or ram is non existent as of yet, and 3 GTX 280's are more like $1300

O.o

[KirkTheGod]

not from my store, really? 360 for the board? i saw at amazon for 750, and the i7 extreme in my local computer store is 1995.99 dollars

[wow1ur1fat]

ROFL that thing is wicked... too bad i cant afford atm, but i dont know why people say "you can overclock this"why the fuck would u if u can run the i7 and 24gb of ram? like seriously wtf?

[mace2142]

dude thats a full copy of the rampage 2 extreame but looks different, has a different name and it supports 24gb of mem ( yes asus is the one that came with the poster and the tweak-it and the x-fi included board

[hussainmushahid]

You must be a real fool,see the rampage price tag and see msi eclipse's price tag,rampage 2 extreme is a waste of money.

So what if they are giving an xfi card,Foxconn is also giving

Stupid!

[panospl]

hello i'm from Greece and i bought this motherboard yesterday this thing is my god.

[lyoth]

the cc is annoying

[frumpytuin]

well turn it off! god.

[jdwn67]

[leroux510]

wow nice mother

[bunuptoast]

[fatcrewz]

kinda similar to asus version

[JamboyStu]

no floppy header, but the give you a floppy cable in the box? why

[fatcrewz]

u can use the ide connector for that
