MSI K9N Platinum (nForce 570 Ultra) review

The K9N Platinum met our expectations for a solid and stable motherboard coming from MSI. While the majority of manufacturers are still sorting out the minor quirks of their nForce 500 boards, the K9N Platinum is one of the boards that we can truly say is retail ready. We also like the fact that MSI is thinking of the mainstream users first, instead of following the trend of launching an ultra-expensive high-end board for the enthusiasts.

The K9N Platinum fits very well into the current market and we feel that is the natural upgrade path for anyone looking to get into Socket AM2 at the moment. Priced at US$125, it falls into a mid-range performance category like a piece from a jigsaw puzzle. The K9N Platinum is a great entry from MSI to make a mark in the emerging Socket AM2 market.
