MSI Adds Two FM2+ A68H Chipset Based Motherboards
MSI launches two new AMD A68H series FM2+/FM2 socket based motherboards, the MSI A68HM-P33 and MSI A68HM-E33. The new MSI A68H motherboards support the latest AMD Kaveri APU (7000 series) and are backwards compatible with FM2 processors (Richland and Trinity, 6000 and 5000 series).
Featuring onboard LAN, PCI Express 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0 and multiple display support, the MSI AMD A68H series motherboards present a rich blend of features and technologies, offering the most stable and best cost/performance solution available.
MSI A68H series motherboards are available in microATX form factor and offer a great choice in connectivity with a Dothill RAID controller, onboard LAN, PCI Express 3.0, SATA and up to 10 USB ports. When combined with today's processors featuring advanced integrated graphics, such as the AMD 7000 series APUs, MSI A68H motherboards support AMD Eyefinity. All these features come at a very attractive price point, making MSI A68H series motherboards the most comprehensive and best cost/performance solution available.
MSI uses award-winning Military Class 4 components, composed of high quality components such as Solid CAPs and Dark Chokes, which ensure your PC runs stable under extreme conditions. These key components have all passed testing to MIL-STD-810G standards, ensuring stable operation in the harshest environments.
The core of Military Class 4 is based on the essential elements which increase your stability in the worst conditions. Humidity protection and high temperature protection ensure system stability in each environment, no matter what. The new structure of the PCB limits EMI emission. On top of that, all connectors have ESD protection in order to prevent short-circuiting.
The MSI A68H series motherboards are equipped with many exclusive technologies, including the one-second overclocking OC Genie 4, the easy to use Click BIOS 4 and the Command Center software that combines features such as monitoring, tuning and controlling of your hardware. The unprecedented level of flexibility and control offered in MSI's unique hard- and software design puts you in the driver's seat of your motherboards configuration.

Don't you mean:
I do think MSI have improved a lot over the last few years, but like with some other brands I think you have to be a bit selective on which models you buy.
For instance, people on here rave over Corsair power supplies, but if you purchase a RM750, or a CX600 for example, then your opinions of Corsair would be radically different.
BTW, the monkey's have sychronised peeing

I removed the peeing on MSI logo nonsense. If you have comments overall on a company, then that is fine. However if you are that disrespectful then as far as I am concerned you should not be part of this website.
E.g. please keep your posts respectful and decent.

I've had 2 x 7970 from MSI for 2 and a half years now, been rock solid since day 1. Might've been a bit dodgy a few years back, but now I think they hold up well.

I apologise for that. I guess if you pee on their boards and cards it's little wonder why you have issues with how they work!
I've had MSI stuff in the past too, I didn't have any issues with them. Like I said earlier, you just need to be a little picky and precise with what you buy, and that goes for anything in life.

MSI made products so poor they pose a serious fire hazard. Just like Apples batteries exploding except not as well known. I'll piss on their logo every chance I get, I didn't make that emicon but if kissy kissy to your suppliers is all you care about then ban me. I honestly thought you were better then sites like anandtech that fall clearly in that bracket. I've spoken to people who have had to sell and install their crap in the past and they agree with me. People don't come to your site for an okay and thumbs up from you. But I will add this issue to me list of grievances of dodgy websites, products and people of the IT industry. All you do is copy paste their ads. You are deleted off my favourites list of sites!

Wow, bit moody there aren't you?!
There's a difference between discussing grievances you have with a company and outright spruiking defamatory comments about the same company. The former is free speech, the latter is grounds for possible legal recourse.

As a system builder, in the last 2 years or so I've used 10+ A75/78/85/88 chipset mainboards without any problems so far.
Also used a few Gigabyte and Asus boards also without issue as well. I would steer clear of a certain board type of any maker if I did have a problem but wouldn't stop using the company because of it.

MSI, there's a brand you can't trust. I remember buying one of their video cards and one day smelling a burning coming from the computer. Followed the smell to their card and discovered that the fan was just spinning on plastic - no bearings, nothing. The centre had actually turned charcoal and black charcoal pieces fell off the card. Looking underneath the board it was burning into the actual board.
