BIOS REVIEW: MSI P45 Neo3 Motherboard - 07/03/08 08:49 PM
Hello,
We’ve just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked it. TIA!
“MSI’s P45 Neo3 is a good value motherboard if you’re looking to go green.
It’s not suited to high-end gamers though, due to its lack of nVidia SLI
support, and there’s no WLAN or Bluetooth chipsets. Some may also need a
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller. There isn’t an onboard speaker for
diagnostics, either. But MSI put many new technologies into its P45 series
to improve the working of GreenPower, which improve temperatures,
overclocking and stability. And with features such as active phase
switching, enabling phase switching for the memory and chipset, as well as
the PWM, the P45 Neo3 should cater for demanding users. Nvidia’s
über-high-end nForce 790i Ultra SLI still rules the roost for ultimate
performance, but the P45 Neo3 is a reasonable choice if you’re building a
solid all-rounder on a budget. While the motherboard is catered to the
budget user, its two-phase power supply for the chipset gives it better
overclockability compared to the P45 Neo and there are still plenty of
storage ports to cater to the enthusiast.”
