news 28 Posted June 16, 2009 MSI punches up its newest flagship X58 motherboard called the Eclipse Plus with quad SLI, CrossFireX support, but how does it compare against its predecessors and a couple lower-priced X58 boards from other vendors? We run it through our benchmarks and take a detailed look at MSI's latest motherboard to support the i7 platform.

This is fairly significant because most boards have that third PCI-E slot set at x8 or x4 speeds. The onboard OC dial and other buttons were a great addition, especially for those of us who swap out our hardware often. the OC dial seemed to work as advertised, but we did have a problem with stability when we tried to push it too far."
