14 DAY TRIAL // After Intel officially launched its high performance desktop X38 Ex chipsets for mainboards compatible with Intel made central processing units (CPU), Micro-Star International, better know as MSI, just announced the launch of a X38 equipped motherboard, the MSI X38 Diamond.
As the new MSI Intel compatible mainboard is aimed at the gamer and computer enthusiast market segment, it comes with all the bells and whistles that are available to the X38 Express chipsets like the native support for DDR3 RAM modules and high frontside bus running clock speeds.
The MSI X38 Diamond motherboard is compatible with the latest generation of Intel CPUs available now on the market and with the upcoming processors that are built using the 45nm manufacture technology. It also offers native support for a frontside bus speed of 1333Mhz as well as Intel multi core architecture processing units, while providing extensive overclocking features for advanced users.
Among the high level features that are integrated into this mainboard is the TroubleShoot Poster, an instant button that makes overclocking and setting up a gaming computer system a much easier and safer operation. In order to provide the most stable computing environment, the new MSI motherboard uses dual-channel pulse width modulation, PWM for short, which means the electronic circuits are designed to feed the central processing unit a very stable and finely filtered electrical current. A cool and stable operating environment is also provided by the presence of the unique MSI Circu-Pipe all copper heat pipe based cooling solution that cools off all hot spots like power circuits, northbridge and southbridge effectively and without any noise.
The high quality of this mainboard is further enhanced by the use in the manufacturing process of Japanese-made solid capacitors, while, according to the news site DigiTimes, its extensive features include quad graphics slots based on PCI Express 2.0 slots, integrated high definition audio chips and so on.
On the random access memory side, the new MSI mainboard comes equipped with four slots able to house dual channel memories compliant with the JEDEC DDR3 specification and running at frequencies between 800MHz and 1333Mhz.
