MSI Big Bang Fuzion

Right, there we have the MSI Big Bang Fuzion. That's a feature rich motherboard IMHO. Everything on this motherboard seems to be focused at performance, with some very delicate overclock features and glossy design. The two tone (black/blue) design appeals to me very much.

We received the final retail sample for review and as such it comes packed with a nice phat product bundle. Among the gear inside the kit you'll find the following:

  • Big Bang Fuzion Motherboard
  • Quantum Wave audio card
  • OC Dashboard
  • MSI Driver/Utility CD
  • SATA cables
  • SATA power cable
  • USB Bracket
  • IDE cable
  • V-Check cables
  • CrossfireX bridges
  • SLI bridges
  • Back IO shield
  • Manual

Really there's plenty to go around with, let's have a look at some of the more distinguished add-ons.

To complement the motherboard the Big Bang Fuzion comes bundled with a PCIe x1 Quantum Wave audio card that supports THX TruStudio PC and what we like very much, Creative EAX Advanced HD 5.0. The card is seated into the top x1 PCIe slot, located above your graphics card.

Curious as we are, we dissected the Quantum Wave audio card. Though the product hints a little at it, nothing remotely Creative Labs was to be found on this board, it's all Realtek with an additional software suite.
