With the newest AMD 890FX chipset at its heart, the MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 motherboard is the de-facto standard for AMD gaming performance. This socket AM3 mainboard is designed from the ground up for performance enthusiasts and promises innovations like native SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, increased PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth for ATI Radeon video cards in four-way Crossfire, and support for 45nm AMD processors up to 140W TDP including 6-core Phenom II X6 processors. It is possible, cause this mainboard is capable of (potentially) unlocking certain quad-core AMD CPUs to 6-core. MSI has packed the 890FXA-GD70 motherboard with extensive overclocking tools, BIOS-level voltage adjustments, board-level features, and very selectively chosen mil-spec grade electrical components. With a price of around $199.99 at Amazon.com, the AMD 890FX-based MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard is a solid foundation for anyone looking to build a massive CrossFireX array with three or four dual-slot video cards and want them working at high performance, and really thinks it is better buying a motherboard with high-end components.
