Price range from google. Do the calculation.

Hint: aus site? yes, get your currency exchange rate right.

check it out in the powerpower slides

argh... 4pci-ex what for? any body effort to buy 4 pci-ex....

wasting, many ppl using pci till now...

you can use this to daisy chain 4 8800GTX for the longest e-penis of the forum arjuna dear....

Looks good tho,

Is that the P6N SLI n P6N SLI Platinium uses same nForce650i chipset? The difference between this 2 board juz d heatpipe cooler 4 northbridge n southbridge rite? Is that both version will be available at malaysian market?

other than diff in NB and SB cooler, platinum comes with full solid capasitors & eSata port.
download the powerpoint slide from link provided to check detail.
this board really cool and worth to wait, expected release date will be feb 07. i don't think y no one wouldn't bring in such good board.

Quite interested on the p6n diamond with x-fi sound chip. Some online sources say that it will be even be cheaper as compare to asus striker. Nice board from msi. The platinum and sli would be good for those which still on pata drive as it comes with 2 ide connectors

where is the x-fi chip.. i can't seem to find it...

But from what i can c from d picture d P6N Diamond juz equip with a 4-phase voltage regulator system... Is that more than enough for heavy overclock purpose?

Added on February 9, 2007, 6:54 pmWell I myself cant provide you an answer for it since there still no review for it yet. But from windwithme review on the p6n platinum, the board is capable of hitting 450fsb in which I think is enough for normal overclocking usage. Lets wait till more review available and see what this mobo capable of. But for the meantime, its quite interesting with all the thing it offers.

Interesting! Can't wait to see the benchmarking comparision between P6N Diamond and Striker Extreme! I think overclock expert around d world sure can't wait to bench'em out! Also what the true existing value of 8-phase voltage regulator lie...

wow....one of the most high end mobo of MSI,waiting its performance,hehe....but of course,it's using tweaked n650i chipset?

guys hope i can clear some of your doubts...

P6N Diamond is using n680i chipset
- build in X-Fi sound blaster chip (first board with highend build-in sound chip)
- 4 PCIE x16 (striker extreme only 3 PCIE x16)
- Could be able to overclock more than 500mhz fsb since n650i hit 500mhz
- Full solid capasitors except capasitor for sound processing.(in some reviews found out polymer capasitor is better for sound)


P6N Platinum is using n650i chipset
- Full solid capasitors
- Heatpipe northbridge-southbridge-mosfet cooler with fan (fan could be optional)
- 2 PATA (this is what i want)
- Capable of doing fsb overclock to 500mhz (instead of 450mhz)



P6N Fi is using n650i chipset
- Normal polymer capasitors
- 2 PATA
- witout e-sata port
- normal chipset cooler

As i know d Asus striker extreme n all nForce 680i reference board got 3 PCIe slot where 2 for x16 SLI n another 1 is for physic card...

oh you're right, 3 pcie x16 instead of 2, my mistake

Haha...nvm. Anyway where u get d super Pi calculation screenshot? Izit testing using MSI sample board? As i know d P6N Diamond still not out to market yet

they're all from link provided above

Then anybody know when d P6N series board will hit malaysian market? After CNY? Mac? April? or May?
