I bought a few MSi boards in my time.... i think "Big Bang" is a VERY appropriate branding.... all of them had a "Big Bang".... hence why I stopped using MSi...
 
I guess one user's experience is the norm. I've owned some MSI products, all worked fine.

MSI left a lot to be desired a few years back, but as of late, they have had very good products.

My first MSI product in a long time was a video card (ATI HD3870), then I had a motherboard (P35-NEO2-FR). I also just purchased an ATI HD4850 1GB for a build for my brother in law.

Haven't had a single issue with any of those at all.


I am more interested in the Hydra 200 boards that are supposed to be coming out that were just briefly mentioned at the end of the article.
 
"The upcoming Big Bang Fuzion mainboard features the powerful Lucid HYDRA engine, designed to support different Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) within a single system. This provides the first viable alternative to offerings from current graphics card vendors that offer identical multi-GPU specific solutions. It will be revealed before the end of 2009."

Let's see if the product actually comes to market. At least they launched the family it will show up in...
 
I like the looks of the current crop of MSI boards. High end ASUS and Gigabyte boards are too "blinged out," IMO.
 
Well, looks like the rumors are right and Hydra has been pushed back again! It's still vaporware folks! No big surprise there though.
 
I had good results with an older Nvidia chipset MSI mobo so I wouldn't immediately dismiss it. However I'm extremely happy with my Gigabyte UD3 series right now, especially after my disappointment with my last ASUS Maximus, and will continue to follow what Gigabyte does as my first choice for my next build - looking at a 2010 i9/Gulftown.
