MSI K9N Diamond nForce 590 SLI Motherboard Review

The MSI K9N Diamond motherboard is one of the more attractive nVIDIA nForce 590 SLI motherboards on the market. It’s got everything the other boards have, and really shines with its Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy SE onto the PCB. Other hardware goodies include dual Gigabit network cards and IEEE 1394a. Expansion is possible through the two PCI Express x16, two PCI Express x1 and two 32 bit PCI slots. nVidia SLi is supported.

The MSI K9N Diamond also has a pretty sweet wild side, overclocking to a blistering 325 MHz in our tests. MSI is a fan favorite here and for good reasons. Its motherboards continually impress in terms of features, performance and price. The K9N Diamond tested here today retails for $200 CDN ($175 US, £94 GBP). Considering all the K9N Diamond has and can do, that’s a steal.
