MSI - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Motherboard Review

The K8N Neo2 Platinum certainly looks like a modern motherboard; its DIMM slots are above the CPU socket, and it has one heck of an core logic chipset… Ultimately, the performance we were looking for from the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum is there, and it’s excellent. Considering the benchmarks we tossed at it, the K8N Neo2 was more than able to keep up with the other K8T800 Pro and nForce3 Ultra motherboards.

In terms of overclocking? Well the results were a bit frustrating, but overclocking can sometimes be like that. Given the only real option for socket 939 Athlon64 and AthlonFX platforms are based upon VIA and nVidia chipsets, the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum certainly makes a good case for itself. It is packed with features thanks to the nForce3 Ultra, it is enthusiast friendly, and it is stable. If it had PCI Express it would be darn near impossible to beat!
