MSI, as much as I dislike them, have a new range of boards based on the P45 chipset, for example the P45D3 Platinum.

Might be worth looking at if you're not as fussed about the quality issues they've had as I am.

But, amusingly enough, I found the heatsink on the northbridge funny. Loop-de-loop heatpipes and now something that looks like someone was playing Jenga with random pieces of copper. Joy.

Certainly no fan of that backplate either, looks like something you might find on a budget board. This day and age they should be doing a lot better than that. Money better spent elsewhere :d

Question that came to mind when i looked at it was...

Is it art ?

Someone should track down the designer and interview him :)

Ohh yeah, back plate looks a bit errr..... rushed ? cheap ? lazy ?. A bit of time and they could of done a better job then that. The 4 usb ports look like they fell on after it was finished :)

Aye, the heatsink is one thing but that backplate - christ. I've made front panel USB plates that are far better quality than those :|
