MSI will be introducing a new motherboard based on the 790X chipset from AMD.
It supports Crossfire and lane width for the PCIe x16 slots doesn't require anything but messing with the BIOS. Power consumption of the chipset is, as we stated earlier, very good and the board's layout is also nice.
The only problem seems to be the 3+1 phase power supply. A total of 4 phases for a maximum of 110A that AM2+ and AM3 cpu's require is a bit short, as such those mosfets will heat up a bit and the voltage stability may not be the best one in load conditions. Still, if the board manages to retail at around $100, it could be a good option for budget consumers.
