hi PCWizKid , will two HD 5770 run in crossfire at 16x and 16x ? if they'll run at 8x and 8x will there be any decrease in performance ? thank you =)

[PCWizKid]

@cjpalmi8 It depends on the motherboard you get. Most likely you will get a motherboard that will run them at x16 and x8.

[PCWizKid]

@LetterKilled yea agreed :D. People never make a mistake of not using bios.

[halofreak1398]

Does it have hdmi

[LetterKilled]

im a little late on the comments but i recommend not using the OC button. it OVER volts your CPU making it hotter and possibly killing your CPU. Of course when you're overclocking you need an after market fan! bios overclocking is the way to go. i have had this board for almost a year now and im running my i5 @3.8GHz at 27c idle and 45c on full load. prime tested for 24 hours. its a great board. ALWAYS do bios overclocking.

Okay... so what is the difference between i5 and i7? :S (about to buy a new laptop)

[Mediamarktfreak]

Why is this more expensive than the MSI P55A-G55? The P55A-G55 even has 2 usb 3.0 slots.

[jksengko]

from this msi board after turn on SATA3 & USB3 will reduce single PCI-E 16x to 8x

yes or not??
