MSI K9N SLI... No phenom support >:(

[SulSeeker]

Well, that seals the deal on this Motherboard.

And after I finally got happy with the damn thing, MSI decides to NOT put out a bios that supports Phenom CPU's even after other 570 Chipsets do.

I just don't get it... what should I do....
Suggestions and Advice would be helpful. THX.

I think that there are going to be a lot of AM2 mobos that don't get Phenom BIOS ...
You don't appear to be using SLI so why not wait until SB700 arrives & assuming that it gets decent reviews pickup a 790X/FX?
Especially as according to the Inquirer the respun Phenom still has bugs.

I'm in the same situation. I wish I had gotten a different board because I would eventually trade up to either a tri core or quad core chip when the prices got a lot cheaper.
