MSI 870-G45 ATX AMD Motherboard

Comment:
The unit was pretty uncomplicated to set up, and it is tough. The SATA slots are a little unusual, and you don't want to use angled SATA cables on this a single. SATA slots positioned a small akwardEnergy Cable for MOBO was really challenging to place on. So a lot so, I attempted a different PSU and fully expected it to break under the pressure of connecting the cable. Just be cautious of it. Good unit, cold boots rapidly. Appears to go a tiny bit slow when USB drives are connected even when they are later in the chain.

Incredible board for gaming on the budget, does everything you require with out any a great deal of flaws or key flaws, and looks superior.It unlocked my athlon II x3 three.1ghz in to a phenom II x4 B45 and oced to 3.8ghz 1.312v steady prime 95 x64 all tests 24hours. Make positive you are not applying a bottom mounted psu bring about the the cpu 4pin will not be long enough, i had to solder a piece of an old psu to my new one to make it lengthy sufficient.The bios is complex, so if you have to have to transform ram setting or OC it and dont know what your doing, go get a totally different mobo, the bios is tough to use. Make positive you know this board is a 770NB board not a 870NB-Bios flashing is scary xD

Stable, Friendly, and a wonderful little OCer Passive Heatsink on the chipset Took my Athlon II X3 450 to three.808 and unlocked the cores to give me a incredibly nice preformance boost. Excellent board extremely recomended, although the board title is misleading, it would leave some to assume with the AMD 870 chipset

Ok This thing cost a lot significantly less than comparable ASUS models just to note, and the efficiency I've gotten so far utilizing MSI afterburner, and the built in OC tools are astounding, it offers good possibilities to customize the efficiency of your Computer and graphics card for different applications and conditions. Also this Mobo instantly recognized my RAM, HDD, CPU, GPU, and is operating extremely properly. This thing is built sturdy, and for the value I don't consider anything can match or beat this. Has side SATA, and IDE bays if wanted, a good notion due to the fact in my case at least there was space there and it kept cords out of the way. RAM installed effortlessly into the slots, straightforward design locking mechanism. PCI Express slot is functioning fantastic, has graphics card pumping. None, maximizes the overall performance of all computer system tools. Wonderful acquire for the cash, the Mobo is the begin of any laptop or computer, and this ones layout makes it uncomplicated, and it had some nice revolutionary characteristics.

Lovely Board with great functions. Looks like Excellent Excellent. Fantastic Value if it works. Don't know because they didn't consist of standoffs and screws and I've searched anything a lot of occasions. How in the World did they neglect the Standoffs and Screws? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MOUNT IN CASE??? MAGIC???Now I have to drive 90 miles to go buy parts that really should have been in the box. Was this an Open Box or RMA they snuck on me? I will lower the Eggs if this board does not execute as expected. Will raise them if it surpasses expectations. So far Quite UNHAPPY about the inconvenience they have brought on me.

Excellent Mb specially for the value Core unlock in bios didn't function on my phenom II x2 had to run the program on the disk but it worked out

Comment:
It was very uncomplicated to set up. Took me about an hour.I have a quad core so I haven't applied the cpu unlock, but the overclocking is made quite simple with this mobo. You can do it one particular of two approaches. A switch on the mobo or a plan on the driver cd that lets you overclock and gauge the temps of computer. It's pretty slick. This board was a bit smaller sized than my last a single and the second pcie slot is incredibly close to the bottom, but thats negative style of my situation so. No lost egg for that one.None On a side note Newegg shipped this incredibly rapidly. I adore you newegg. Don't tell my wife.

Comment:
Strong construction; Ubuntu runs excellently well (hibernate, sleep operate excellent; no hassles). Great documentation. None. I'm joyful with the acquire at this value point, and I would obtain this board again. Buying and creating a technique with this board has produced me more open to MSI brand elements in the future.PS - I didn't - and don't strategy - on carrying out any overclocking with this board, so can't comment on that.

Comment:
Applied it to build a WOW machine for my father and it worked fine and didn't break the bank. I've often been an asus guy and I'm getting difficulties navigating the bios. Possibly a non-concern for an individual who has owned an MSI board ahead of Good spending budget board but if you have cash to spend, get one thing with USB three. and SataIII.

Comment:
I purchased this board for seventiesh shipped, it has permitted me to take a basix X2 and unlock it to a quad, then run that quad at three.8ghz. Accepts absurdly high voltages happily and requires very higher heat like a champ. I'm speaking quad at 1.55vcore, DDR/NB/VC OC and overvolt with CPU at 70+*F and VC up there also... None however, probably the pciex slots are a little close for these operating SLI?

Comment:
This board is great, I got it to build my mom a new personal computer and it is the third MSI board I have worked with. It booted appropriate up and the OC genie functions fantastic if you want to use it. Effortless bios to work with as properly. Didn't come with any motherboard screws or mounts. Awsome :P

Comment:
Sturdy board I can't figure out how to enable the onboard-sound. I don't own any HD devices, just 2 speakers + bass, so I just plugged it into the light green outlet on the back panel. The BIOS are adequately set to play, there are no warnings in the device manager, so I have no concept what's going on. I'm operating Windows 7 64-bit.

Easy overclocking. Supports lots of processors mainly because AMD is brilliant. Feels very cramped and it is tough to get pins connected from time to time. The style of the mobo isn't the greatest. Some pins are blocked by the PCI slots. My video card is over a set of pins that fortunately I do not need to use. The post beep, front led's that indicate the energy status, and front speaker ports do not operate. Yes, I'm positive every little thing is connected correctly. I promise. I double checked prior to I wrote this overview.It also has older technologies help (floppy drive, IDE) but I feel they really should have left that junk out and created it a bit roomier for other stuff that is relevant. The IDE slot is incredibly quite Quite hard to use and incredibly uncomplicated to bend the pins. Some of the sata slots are positioned weirdly and you will have a difficult time plugging stuff into them with the mobo inside of a case. It's a decent mobo for individuals on a spending budget. I'm happy with it. I've had no major challenges and it supports every thing I need it to assistance. Once you have it in the pc it'll be fine. It's just setting it up that's a genuine discomfort.

Excellent Board. Surprised at the prices Have not identified any. Wish the SATA ports have been not on the bottom Building a new technique? Right here is your mother board

Solid, and has decent characteristics. I have had no problems at all. I will purchase MSI once more. 2nd pcie shannels runs at 4x, but I knew that. For the price, a far better chip set could be had.

Wonderful board for the price tag. Has worked flawlessly so far. Overclocked my x6 1100t CPU to 4 ghz quickly. No SLI support. This is to be expected with a lot of AMD boards even though I suppose. My single overclocked GTX 580 is enough for now but if I ever want to go SLI in the future I'd have to get a new board (or just go with radeon cards) Like I said before, this mobo is a excellent for the cost. I have had a single random blue screen while playing assassin's creed brotherhood, but I'm not positive it was motherboard connected. I'm giving this board 5Ǜ eggs.

Comment:
This card has a lot going for it as far as attributes and style. ๖ is a superior price tag for the board. Nevertheless, my board is faulty. The primary PCI-E slot on the board that I received does not operate. I was only capable to get the method to boot if I set my graphics card (MSI's GeForce GTX 460) the secondary PCI-E slot -- but that is not a x16 slot. Essentially, the card's overall performance will not be hindered there. I'm really agitated over this situation. This pc is not just for residence use, but also for some perform-from-household tasks. I'll be seeking to RMA... Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued MSI Buyer,We would like to apologize for the concern you have skilled with this particular mb.

Initially time I have utilized an MSI board in a make. Used for a budget gaming build for a buddy with mix final results. Loaded with no BIOS on the board, so we just loaded windows 7 64 bit and then tried to install programs with no luck. Couldnt come across the disc (friend accidentally thru it away with the mobo box, undesirable notion) so tried to DL the BIOS from MSI's page with no benefits. When I lastly identified the disc, installed the BIOS, re-installed windows and it seemed perform. Programs loaded fine, LOTRO plays fantastic, but nevertheless no POST. no BIOS or POST on board? ?? not confident if I would use an MSI board once again, I commonly partial to ASUS but got this simply because of the price. Overall my friend was pleased with his new gaming Computer so I'm content

I was placing together a inexpensive gaming rig that would accept two video cards with crossfire support and onboard sound the I can add a soundcard to later. This 1 has worked flawlessly. None that I know of but. This was my very first pc construct and so i don't know what I might be missing.

Comment:
Forget what I stated earlier about the lack of voltage adjustment. None Not employed to seeing the voltages greyed out like they are. Figured +/- or Enter to adjust like most other boards; it's PgUP/PgDN with this one.

OC genie seemed awesome... X6 assistance? (see cons) This board is not created to take care of Phenom X6 chips. My 1090T killed it within hours.

It mentioned it unlocked cores on 1 of my 550BE CPU's but not the other, either way it would not boot. I get a "cannot discover ACPI table incorrect program" error every single time. tried just about every bios setting possible with or w/o unlocking and tried two CPU's haven't tried my single core but. when I click on the error box it just restarts more than and more than. I'm working with my old 790fx board now with all the very same hardware (-the ddr3 ram) but utilizing ddr2 1066 due to amd2+ style. no completed boot but - 30 or so tries then swapped CPU's then 20 + far more at each bios setting till just gave up and reassembled 1 of my AM2+ boards 齖fx) to get on the web to investigation this issue. bought the board locally in case it had issues as I figured it would and can return it w/o shipping cost. All hardware has been installed on a 790gx AM2+ chipset also with out any issues all 3 of these boards use the similar AMD 700 series chipsets 790gx sb750, 790fx sb750, rx780 sb710 (odd that this board is AM3 but has the older southbridge cipset while the other individuals are AM2+?)
