[PV5150]

MSI has been kind enough to supply OC3D with some details about what we can expect from their P45 Platinum motherboard.

Details in the news article

I like the NB heatsink

 

[Phoenix]

What's up with the plug above the PCI-E 16x-slot?

Provide extra power for uber hungary dual card setups.

Or sometimes 'stabilise voltages', which just sounds like the 1st thing to me...

That waterblock 'in-development' looks to be hugely resrictive - 6mm tubing?

Funky heatsink on that baby

 

[Rastalovich]

W8ing to look at the Abit mobo(s) 45/48 myself, but this one, and others will live and die by their performance imo.

Fancy coolers don`t do it for me, dunno about that flowered cooler thing.

Meh, if it performs well, who can argue with that.
