Title: Motherboard architecture / MSI Military Class Concept
Post by: gonzalito on January 12, 2011, 08:45:31 pm
Guys,

I would like to know your opinion about the architecture of MSI motherboards vs. the always-recommended-here Gigabyte´s.

In the following pic you could see some specifications about the MSI "Military Class Concept" motherboards architecture:

Do you find it better than Gigabyte?

Thanks in advance,

Regards.-

Well first the Solid Capacitator: Aluminium core, lower tempreture and mostly "Extreme lowe ESR"-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_series_resistance wich is very importante but dunno how low is that ESR :)
Second Icy chokes...very good low temperature!
And some Hi-C Capacitator wich are Highly-Conductive Polymerized Capacitators with TANTALUM CORE! Which is very good! Well..if you can grab and tast it GO! But don't know if there gone be a huge difference.

Just built my first dedicated XXHighEnd PC. Scored a used Barebones system on craigslist for an amazing deal as well as a screaming deal on a SSD for os & highend

MainBoard is a MSI 870A-G54 "Military Class Concept" with onboard spdif out. I'm still trying to get it up and running but I'll report my results when I'm able to do some listening
