Affordable MSI Hydra motherboards show at Computex
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, June 2, 2010 - 3:06 PM N/A


 

As we all know next to ASUS real soon, MSI already offers Lucid Hydra based motherboards. Hydra allows you to combine ATI and NVIDIA graphics cards or a combo of the same brand yet different series.

Back at CES MSI already hinted that new motherboards would be equipped with that chip, and right now at Computex they are showing what is is to be an affordable motherboard with Lucid Hydra 200 chip. Two motherboards are planned for release very soon. One based on AMD's 870 chipset and one on Intel's P55 chipset.

The AMD 870 based motherboard with Hydra chip will go through life as the Fuzion 870A. The addition of 'A' means the board both USB3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbit / s on board, the latter due to the SB850 Southbridge.  Two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots can accommodate a mix of so many video cards. The 870A board offers support to the new hexacore Phenom II X6 processors from AMD and also has a feature that can unlock disabled cores. The new update will get an OC Genie button for automated overclocking. The board will be equipped with military class componentns, DrMOS chips and components while contributing their bit to stability.

The Fuzion P55A, also with USB3.0 and SATA 6.0 Gbit / s on board, it will be the cheaper version of the Big Bang to Fuzion. With a P55 chipset and LGA1156 socket it can house i3/i5/i7 Core processors. This board comes with two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots. OC Genie, DrMOS, button are standard here as well.

MSI's Fuzion 870A will cost approximately €120 , the P55A Fuzion will sell for € 140.
