Reviews for MSI Platinum K9N SLI Platinum Desktop Motherboard - nVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Chipset - Socket AM2 PGA-940

Windows Vista Installs on SATA Raid 0 Like a Charm

Strengths: Easy to install, free round cables included, good documentation and layout, SLI, stable, works great with the Mushkin DDR2 800 memory I bought, low price

Weakness: No EPP support, not as efficient in power consumption as some of the newer chipset motherboards

This motherboard performs very close to nForce 590 SLI levels and installing Windows Vista on its Raid 0 configuration was a piece of cake. It had finished installing the OS in minutes and didn't ask me to insert a manufacturer's driver's disk. The platinum edition comes with plenty spare cables, including angled sata cables which are pretty convenient. Power consumption is lower than nForce 590 SLI motherboards.

Good cheap mothboard.

Strengths: Price, Features, Easy install.

Weakness: Bad Documentation of the motherboard, somewhat tight.

I like this motherboard. It is a good functional motherboard, but the documentation could be more specific. If you know what you are doing though, it shouldn't be to difficult. The motherboard will do anything you but you may need to really think about where you place your PCI cards to make them fit. Overall, this is does everything I need it to do.

Good overclockable Mobo

Strengths: None.

Weakness: Manual sucks. Really hard to tell which male pin is positive. It should state somewhere how many fans the mobo can support.

Need a good large case if you want to overclock and play games with a good vid card. It comes with a nice plug adapter which tells you if you did something wrong it has 16 diffferent led lights that can tell you 16 differnt things.
