Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsMSIX79MA-GD45
Here are the first pictures of MSI's socket LGA2011 motherboard in the micro-ATX form-factor. Earlier this week, we got to see through ASRock's X79 Extreme4-M that LGA2011 micro-ATX boards were indeed possible. Called the MSI X79MA-GD45 (MS-7738 V1.1), this board offers all the connectivity possible on a board with such a tight footprint. The LGA2011 socket is powered by a 9-phase VRM. It is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots, two on either sides of the socket, powered by 2-phase VRM. Expansion slots include two each of PCI-Express 3.0 x16 and PCI-Express 2.0 x1. 2-way SLI and CrossFire are supported.

Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksMSIGT780DX-215USGT780DX-406US
The new GT780DX gaming laptop from MSI is being billed as "the ultimate weapon in battle," and one look at the spec sheet shows why. It's a 17-inch notebook outfitted with a second generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processor, Nvidia's near top-of-the-line (in mobile) GeForce GTX 570M discrete graphics with 1.5GB of GDDR5 memory, and supports up to 32GB of DDR3 system memory.
It also has a SteelSeries gaming keyboard baked into the chassis. MSI says the keyboard is more rugged than a standard plank, the Windows key has been moved to the right side to prevent accidentally striking it when you really just mean to duck fire, it has larger Ctrl and Alt keys, and there are five backlight schemes ...

Gigabyte denies MSI allegations
Like UnlikeFiled in: MSIGIGABYTE
Earlier this month MSI's marketing department send out evidence that Gigabyte's motherboards don't truly support PCI Express 3.0(check here), but now Gigabyte defends itself with a presentation of its own.
In its short presentation with no more than 5 slides, Gigabyte tried to provide an explanation to its claim that most of its new motherboards are Gen 3-ready. The presentation begins with a diplomatic-sounding message on what is the agenda of the presentation, followed by a disclaimer that three of its recently-launched boards, Z68X-UD7-B3 & P67A-UD7/P67A-UD7-B3, lack Gen 3 readiness. This could be because those boards make use of a Gen 2 NVIDIA nForce 200 bridge chip, even the first PCI-E...

MSI demo's X79 motherboards with PCI Express 3.0 and UEFI BIOS at IDF 2011
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsMSI
While MSI wasn't quite ready to publicly divulge all the details of its forthcoming X79-based motherboards, it was more than happy to give us a teaser. We were shown three upcoming models from the company at IDF, all toting PCI Express 3.0 slots, overclocking buttons and that snazzy UEFI BIOS. The latter makes changing settings a snap, and is carried over from the company's existing Sandy Bridge boards -- it even comes with a button that launches a browser, but unfortunately the machines in the booth weren't configured to support it. We'll know more in Q4, but in the meantime a gallery awaits you below, along with a video after the break.

MSI: Gigabyte motherboard are not PCIe Gen 3 ready
Like UnlikeFiled in: MotherboardsMSIGIGABYTE
There's a bit of a mud fight inbetween MSI and Gigabyte as it seems. In short Gigabyte all of the sudden claims that many of their motherboard already are PCIe Gen 3 compatible.
MSI's marketing department has created a series of slides to rebut Gigabyte's claim that its motherboards are PCI Express 3.0 ready. The company claims that out of as many as 40 of Gigabyte's PCIe Gen 3 ready motherboards, only the G1.Sniper 2 is really ready for PCIe 3.0.

MSI's reverse fan tech keeps dust out, graphic cards chilled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Graphic CardsMSI
We've all been there, trying in vain to remove dust caked onto the fans of componentry inside our rigs. It's mostly a fruitless endeavor, but here to save us from the horde of dust bunnies invading our graphics card is MSI's dust removal technology. Available on the company's "Lightning Xtreme" edition of the GTX580, soot is annihilated by spinning that card's fans at full throttle in reverse for thirty seconds after boot. That's apparently an effective method for flinging accumulated grime off the spinners and (hopefully) into a spot you can actually reach. Unconvinced it'll work? Well then, mosey on over to the source link bub, and prepare yourself for video proof of the fan-powered filth ...

MSI Launches Slim 14" X460 and X460DX Notebooks
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksMSI
If there’s one thing I like about computer technology, it’s progress. Late 2010, the best you could get from the 14” sector would have been something like the discontinued Dell XPS L401x. That laptop came with GeForce GT 425M, 4GB RAM, and an i5-460M CPU for a base price of $900. In March, we looked at the ASUS U41JF, which boasted an overclockable i3-380M, 4GB RAM, and the same GT 425M graphics card. Both of those laptops leveraged NVIDIA’s Optimus Technology to give you a balanced platform, but even $800 seems steep compared to AMD’s Llano laptops, which is why we’re seeing upgrades and price cuts everywhere.
