Unlike some other manufacturers, MSI have a clear division between each model in their range, from the lowly G45 up to the enthusiast GD80. It's a simple system with a bigger number meaning a higher end motherboard, and few branches off the path.

The Big Bang nomenclature is reserved for the highest models in the range. Where Gigabyte has a UD7, ASUS the 'Extreme', so MSI have a Big Bang. Each model comes with a different suffix, and today we're taking a look at the latest in their range, the Z77 Big Bang MPower.

Military Class III is the big buzzword with the MSI MPower. Polymer capacitors, Super Ferrite Chokes and MSI's own DrMos II ensure that the MPower really does live up to its name. The Military Class isn't just a bit of meaningless advertising blurb either. These components have passed the MIL-STD-810G test, which is the United States Military Standard for ensuring that items are tested to the very extremes, and thus worthy of use with the Department of Defence. Given how much of a pounding they'll get in the field, it's pretty safe to bet that they'll be indestructible on your desk.

All hail Megatron -- well seriously it's the first thing that went through my mind while looking at the GeForce GTX 680 Lightning from MSI today. A beast of a graphics card that breathes power to show its performance.

Fast and furious are another the two keywords that describe the Lightning product from MSI. Today they released their GeForce GTX 680 Lightning edition. An all customized PCB, extra features, a fast factory-overclock and that new TwinFrozr IV cooler is bound to make the Kepler GPU empowered MSI GeForce GTX 680 Lightning a very sexy product.

Added on November 12, 2010, 9:29 amuumm. I was wondering is it possible to add a GTX 460 with my current HD6870? there was a "Graphic Compability Chart" that comes with the mobo, and it stated that some AMD GPU is not compatible with some Nvidia GPU, so I was wondering GTX 460 and HD6870 okeyh?

This post has been edited by TechnoG: Nov 12 2010, 09:29 AM

I would say it's possible as we still can see AMD 5 series to be compatible with the 2 series as well, and also AMD 4 series with Nvidia 4 series.

But for the time being, we will have to wait for the Lucid to release a new drivers in near time.

thanks for enlightening me

I think I'll just stick to dual AMD GPUs first, but it'll be a waste since it's meant for both Nvidia and AMD

uumm. Probably when will the new Lucid drivers be released?

is the performance ok now?
coz last time setup with mixed gpu not as good as CF or SLI solely..

25% performance boost for Nvidia
33% performance boost AMD
15% performance boost for both Nvidia and AMD

To you, it might be a pretty low performance increase, but I assume this new technology will get better.
wait for the new drivers

i believe if to proceed purchasing such rare mobo in it's class and pricing.. would consider mixing the gpus..
just that mixing them not producing a significant performance..

if choosing to CF or SLI for better performance.. it just wise to buy a normal CF, SLI mobo only..

if mix the the gpus.. how's the physix eh?

To me, PhysX is crap. More like a marketing gimmick. I think I'll stick to another HD6870 instead of getting GTX 460

I didn't purchase this mobo, won it from MSI

Hehe, at least you are with the flexibility when it comes to upgrade with the motherboard. Drivers should be soon but not ETA yet. Just stay put on the Lucid website my friend.


LOL, oh.. from MSI Dota Tournament? Your rig sounds interesting to me.. How was the 6870? Didn't get to play much with the 6870 sample. Sigh..

My rig yet to be fully assembled completely, busy with other commitments.
tried my buddie's 6870, MSI Afterburner

I didn't win it from the MSI Dota Tournamet. Got it from the Military Q&A thingy, suppose to get the HD5770 HAWK, but they don't have stock for it. So yeahh, upgraded it to Big Bang Fuzion

This post has been edited by TechnoG: Nov 14 2010, 06:59 PM

MSI GTX480 SLI



OCed to 900/1800/4600Mhz


MSI FTW!

I see, the Q & A session. Now I remembered. Ya, that time no stock for the HD5770 Hawk, that's why we decided to give out Fuzion.

Will try to see if I could get my hands on HD6870 again.

Thank you again for the support.

Wah, bro.. really powerful. Thumbs up for the OC.

Military Class Overview
MSI first launched the Military Class product series at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2010 and now a new revision of Military Class of products will be seen in the upcoming Intel 6 Series Mainboard. In short, Military Class is referring to a combination of stability, extreme durability and high performance through the implementation of server grade materials in MSI line of component products, namely Mainboard and Graphic Card. The mentioned server grade materials are Hi-c CAP, Icy Choke, Solid State Choke and Solid CAP. In the upcoming Intel Sandy Bridge platform, MSI will launch the second generation of Military Class components, named Military Class II.

Hi-c CAP
* Highly-conductive Polymerized Capacitor
* Tantalum Core
* High Capacitance
* High ripple-current handling capability
* Mainly used in Military, Avionic, Space System industries

ICY Choke
* High Heat Resistance
* Low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance)
* Reduced Operating Temperature.
* Lower Power Consumption
* Smart Power Saving Usage

Solid State Choke
* Manage Higher Voltage
* Reduce the production of Noise
* No high frequency Buzz Noise

Solid CAP
* High Polymer Aluminum
* Increase heat-resistance
* 10 years of product lifespan in 80°C operating environments
* Feature in entire range of MSI Military Class product series

Super Ferrite Choke
* Increases Maximum Current by 30%
* Increases Power Efficiency by 10%



When the Military Class Concept was first launched in 2009, MSI is the only manufacturer to include the mentioned server grade components in the production of Mainboard and Graphic Card. It's pretty clear that MSI is very much focused in providing better stability and durability in their product line. Now that it's an open secret that MSI is going to introduce Military Class II in the upcoming Intel Sandy Bridge platform, I notice that other than a new revision/generation name change, the only difference spotted is the inclusion of Super Ferrite Choke. After a quick peek at the upcoming P67 series mainboard, it seems that all of them are equipped with SFC. One will get disappointed with Military Class II if he/she hopes for full-makeover while those who ponder just a little, they may realize that it's quite difficult to make a improve something which is already one of the best around.
