MSI K9N SLI Platinum Motherboard Review

The MSI K9N SLI Platinum motherboard is based on NVIDIA’s "performance gamer" minded nForce 570 SLI for AMD’s AM2 CPUs. Luckily for the consumer, MSI doesn’t skimp on the features and still offers a nice bundle at a competitive price.

Despite not being based on NVIDIA’s flagship chipset (nForce 590 SLI), the MSI K9N SLI Platinum has shown to be a very impressive board. Quite a bargain at $128 USD. Unless you have a couple of 7900 GTX cards, we see little reason to spring for a 590 SLI based board unless those video cards are in your upgrade path, or you just have money to burn. For the more budget, yet equally performance minded, the MSI K9N SLI Platinum is certainly worth a close look. VL Recommended Award
