MSI Computer Corp. AMD 760G Micro ATX DDR3 1333 AM3+ Motherboards 760GM-E51 (FX)

I am a proud owner of this motherboard. It has everything you need, including old ports like IDE (if you are interested in using your old HDD's). It has capacity for 32GB of RAM, but 8GB is more than enough for a couple of years. Of course, I searched on the Web for reviews on this product and looks like the FX processors are having some compatibility issues (something related to the drivers). That is not my case, I bought a Phenom II X4 and I have no regrets since then.

This motherboard is slightly behind what is currently available but having all the components for a new system other than a Motherboard, CPU and memory, this Motherboard fit the bill. I am using it with an AMD FX 6100 6-core processor and 16 GB of DDR3 1600 RAM. I reused sata2 drives which report higher speed with this motherboard than the last.

The only issue I ran into was playing with the software that came with it, trying to unlock the extra cores in the CPU and over clock, I had to remove the battery and one of the PCI cards to get the system to boot. Running this board with Windows 7 64, with out the extra software supplied on the CD (just the drivers, most from Microsoft) it runs well..

Take notice, although this board states it will support the FX series of CPU's (with update), it WILL NOT support the FX 8350 8 core. The information is only found digging into MSI's website, and a very tiny blurb way don amidst all the tech spec's is a notation regarding 125w processors not being supported. This info is not in the online advertising, on the box, or in the manual included. The board will shut your system down when the CPU is under even light load, and this can cause severe damage in other area's of your system. Another gripe, I don't know if this is the same for all 760G-E51 FX boards, but mine did not come with a jumper for JBAT1 which is not easily noticeable unless your looking. So the board will not allow you to save CMOS settings, and will display a "CMOS Battery Low" message every time you boot until you place a jumper in the correct pin position of JBAT1. Until this issue is corrected, your board will not correctly post and performance of your other equipment will be limited.

In summary, again, this will not support an FX 8350. In general, this will not support any mid to high end gaming rig's due to it's various and numerous other issues. If your running quad core or under AM3+ CPU's and are not looking to game, then I'm sure you'll be fine. But even then, I'd go for something cheaper and better quality.
