MSI Big Bang ZPower mainboard Surfaces

Mainboard 578 Published by

MSI can't wait to showcase its upcoming Big Bang ZPower (retail name could be different) motherboard at Computex, a new Z77 Express based board for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge processors. Here's the skinny from TPU:

The pictures reveal the ZPower to be a bustling metropolis with a swanky heatsink design that keeps up with the theme of MSI's Lightning series graphics cards. The motherboard will be designed for 3-way multi-GPU setups, although a PLX-made bridge chip won't be used. Instead it will use Pericom PCIe lane switches to split the x16 link from the processor into x8/x8/NC or x8/x4/x4. The focus of this board will be towards overclocking, a lot of overclocker-friendly features, options (in the UEFI BIOS setup program), and a strong VRM will be added to the mix. MSI is likely to exhibit the new motherboard at the upcoming Computex event. Pics courtesy of TPU.
