MSI A88X-G45 gaming review - MSI has released two new AMD APU motherboards, and they do looks chill. As such we review the MSI A88X-G45 Gaming edition. It seriously is one of the most beautiful and feature rich motherboards that MSI can offer for Kaveri. The new MSI FM2+ gaming series motherboards features Killer LAN, Audio Boost sound enhancement technology, and a whole new software and hardware design for enhanced gaming performance. In addition Assassin's Creed Liberation HD comes for free.

Nice board. I hear you can get 1 GHz out of the IGP in some cases, epic performance.

From a gaming perspective at 1080p gets hard to justify the price difference from MB+CPU from an Intel solution with i7-4770.

They have a good thing going with these.

Had one x79 MSI board, and it died, weak vrm chips and took a cpu with it. So msi is done for me.

Their is something up with the VRM's on this thing, pics of the deheatsinked board show 22 voltage regulating mosfets(16 in the cpu block and 6 on the nb block) making it 8+3?!?.

It appears this thing has a doubler on it, but don't know much else beyond that. Been looking for good image of the mosfets so i can look up their specs if anyone knows where i can find that?
