MSI P45 Neo3 Motherboard Review

Bios Magazine posted a review on the MSI P45 Neo3 Motherboard

A quote from the article:

MSI's P45 Neo3 is a good value motherboard if you're looking to go green.It's not suited to high-end gamers though, due to its lack of nVidia SLI support, and there's no WLAN or Bluetooth chipsets. Some may also need a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller. There isn't an onboard speaker for diagnostics, either. But MSI put many new technologies into its P45 series to improve the working of GreenPower, which improve temperatures, overclocking and stability. And with features such as active phase switching, enabling phase switching for the memory and chipset, as well as the PWM, the P45 Neo3 should cater for demanding users. Nvidia's ber-high-end nForce 790i Ultra SLI still rules the roost for ultimate performance, but the P45 Neo3 is a reasonable choice if you're building a solid all-rounder on a budget. While the motherboard is catered to the budget user, its two-phase power supply for the chipset gives it better overclockability compared to the P45 Neo and there are still plenty of storage ports to cater to the enthusiast.
