MSI P45 boards
Yesterday, the local distributor Corbell launched 3 MSI P45
mainboards at Golden Village @ Vivocity Singapore. The crowd was also there to
witness the MSI wind atom notebook for the Singapore market.
At the show, 3 MSI P45 boards were displayed, they are the P45
Neo3-FR, P45 Diamond and D3 Platinum.
All three models uses heatpipe design. The P45 NEO3-FR only
supports a single PCIe 2.0 slot. Thus if you intend to upgrade to CrossFire, you
should consider the two other boards P45 Diamond and P45D3 Platinum.
For liquid cooling fans, the P45 Diamond's heatpipe is already
equipped with the outlets for you to integrate with your cooling system to bring
out the best overclocking experience of your system.
The top 2 P45 models are equipped with DrMOS, a green effort to
give your energy efficiency, and low temperature operation. You can read
