First Look: MSI Big Bang X58 Xpower

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/18/2010 03:28 AM | source: | 0 comment(s)

Last week the one motherboard that i have been anticipating for a long time now arrived, it's the MSI Big Bang X58 XPower.This motherboard will be reviewed real soon, but I could not keep you away from showing you at least a couple of photo's of this dreamy piece of hardware.

This new motherboard uses Intel's X58 chipset and features six PCI Express x16 slots, six DDR3 memory slots, SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0.

Obviously this mean looking piece of hardware is designed for the true hardware enthusiasts, it features 16-phase DrMOS PWM, has two 8-pin power connectors, Hi-C capacitors, an extra 6-pin PCIe power input for the PCIe slots, OC Dashboard and V-Kit. Audio is provided by a Quantum Wave audio card with 7.1 channel audio, EAX 5.0 and THX TruStudio PC Suite.

MSI throws in six (!) PCI-Express x16 slots.  While the ICH10R gives out six SATA 3 Gb/s ports, an additional controller gives two 6 Gb/s ports (colour-coded white). Audio is care of a bundled PCI-Express x1 audio card called the MSI QuantumWave that includes THX TruStudio PC Suite, and support for Creative EAX 5.0 HD. Connectivity includes dual gigabit Ethernet, two USB 3.0 ports next to a number of USB 2.0 ports, power-eSATA, FireWire, and a connector for the OC Dashboard module.

Here's are some photo's we took here in the Guru3D lab:
