my current msi nf980-g65 board fried and theirs some scratches on it so i am not sure msi will fix it. so i am looking for reasonably priced options. i want 8 sata ports, 2 accessible pcie x1 slots as well as a least dual sli. my 280s cover 2 slots usually so finding a board i can access the multiple pcie x1 slots. i need one for a wireless card and another for a soundblaster card. the 8 sata ports is for 2 disk drives as well as 6 hdd. why so many, its a gaming muti-media machine. i use it for gaming as well as a media server to ps3. i also do websites and make media

i have found 2 boards i like so far:

actually the plan is to populate them all with 2 tbs one day. my case can hold 6 hdd and id like to fill it up with 2tb drives currently i have a 1 tb and a 2 tb drive for total of 3 tb. i can get by with 6 sata ports. i do like the MSI 870A Fuzion Power Edition alot but was told its not for sale yet sadly

Alice

Its not far off from what Im hearing boys
 
do u mean the MSI 870A Fuzion Power Edition is coming out soon?

what i ment by lack is i have a hard time findng sli board as opsed ti i7/sli boards flodded the markret. im a pore girl that cant afored a i7 all i have is a phenoom 11 x4 955 black edition i bartered for.

my case is limiting the size i can use to a regular atx board. also i habve the fenom ii x4 955 black with four 1gb ocz dual channel ddr3 chips. i run dual sli gtx 280's. i want to get a D-Link DWA-556 Xtreme N PCI Express or my wireless as well as a PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series

so far im thinking waiting for the MSI 870A Fuzion Power Edition might be my best option since it will have 2 pcie x16 slots and 2 pcie x1 slots i can reach.

well the issue is my pc i need totly fried out. i rma'ed it to msi hoping they will fix the bios. but has scratches u cant avoid at all so hoping msi will fix my msi nf980-g65. im on a unstable hp m9080n currently had 7 motherboards replaced in it and that's in 3 years.

anyone know if im able to buy a new msi nf080-g65 but guaranty it has the new 1.4 bios installed on it???

Alice
 
well im hoping msi will fix mine. my nf980-g65 firded during a bios flash but ther some scratcheds wher the cards mount so im not shure if they will fix it or not but i can hope right???
 
look like normal mounting scratches to me but asus refused to fix my m3n-ht deluxe mem pipe edion for same scratches. so u can see why im scared

Alice
 
dumb question sould i just invest in a i7 board n processer??? ill be rubning win7 ultimate 64bit with 4gb of ddr3, like the

Big Bang Fuzion

my luck been bad in the past

i7 boards are tripple channel and it has to be 1.65v ram, so by the looks of your rig you would need new ram.

What do you mean scratches? No motherboard should be scratched?
 
im thinking if i have to buy one ill wait till the MSI 870A Fuzion Power Edition is released. seams like the best bang for my buck.

trying to figure if my Cooler Master Hyper N520 is beter for cooling then the Corsiar H70 Cooler. if it be a worth while upgrade. same amount fans but gives more room if i ever get dominator ram with a cooling fan

The H70 is massive, really noisey and over priced. Buy a Noctua cooler or something similar
