You'd have to pay me a considerable amount of money to make me use an MSI motherboard again. I remember when the first generation of i7's came out and i bought an MSI Eclipse motherboard to go with it. I ended up going through 3 of them (all faulty) before i decided to call it a day and exchange it for an EVGA Classified mobo. Since then i've only used Asus and EVGA motherboards and i've been far happier with the quality of those.

Carbon & led "tuning" is the way to be sold? More and more motherboards like cars of Need for Speed.

I feel the same about MSI motherboards. I had a board with ethernet and USB3 failing gradually. So much for "military class components". I replaced the board with an Asrock Extreme 4 which has not given me a single second of grief. I was wary of Asrock at first, but an Asus board with similar specs was way over budget, so I went Asrock and I haven't looked back 🙂

Depends which military the components came from 😀 I'm eyeing an Asrock Extreme 4 (or gaming K4) Z170 for an upgrade myself.

Agree. The facts support the feeling, too. MSI consistently maintains a 5-8% market share because most users that give them a try never do again.

"HERE......HERE!!!!" I remember my first and only experience with MSI mobo's..... Purchased one back in mid 2005ish and only to find out that a newer mobo.......did not support an older CPU I had. Not even with a future BIOS update as the rep said to me, so I had to return the board all together. Asus/EVGA for this guy from now on....

i heard msi quality gets better lately.. but i never try their mobo so cant say anything i believe parts wise (military grade), its no different than what other company use, its more the board design for mobo, i prefer asus or gigabyte ... as those company already making mobo for long time, so they should know what works but on other hands seems quite people like msi GPU

What do they mean by "extra Pins" on a Turbo Socket? Does that mean some motherboards don't have all the pins for the CPU? I don't get it, unless there is some redundant contacts under their Extreme Chips.

My experience with MSI mob's are bad, Msi was the best, But they lose it...why make a product if you wouldn't support. Try calling them and ask them any problem that has to do with overclocking, And they will tell you they DO NOT SUPPORT Overclocking. So why would pay $600 a board thats best in market, but bad overclocking. z87 to z97 to X99. Msi should call Asus company and ask them help? How build a real Gaming Board. learn from the best. Asus #1 in gaming board.:thumbup:
