MSI seems to be almost ready with a new high-end motherboard for the socket LGA-1366 Intel Core i7 platform. The new MSI Big Bang XPower motherboard is based on the usual Intel X58 Express + ICH10R chipset, and offers six PCI-Express x16 slots, which which it can support CrossFireX, SLI, and still have room for dedicated PhysX accelerators or other PCI-E devices. The XPower also features support for SATA 6 Gb/s and USB 3.0 using additional controllers.

The CPU is powered by a 16-phase DrMOS PWM, which draws power from two 8-pin power connectors. It makes use of High-C capacitors for higher durability. An additional 6-pin PCI-Express power input adds electrical stability to the PCI-Express x16 slots. The socket is wired to six DDR3 DIMM slots for triple-channel memory support, which are powered by a 3-phase VRM.

Man first Asus makes a complete ripoff of eVGA and now MSI?? Atleast MSI isn't a total ripoff and somewhat original.

"Q1 in 2010, and it already looks like we're supposed to spell "promising" with the "I" before the "M.""

Typo.. Should be S before the I.

Hope they fixed the turbo lock on it.

love the look of the board...except it's really busy around the socket. Total whore to insulate.
