Small dilemma has brought me to ask in a forum and on IRC peoples opinions of MSI hardware or this specific motherboard :
I've acquired an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 LSR motherboard (Nforce 2 Ultra with MCP-T2 - the top of the range one) with all the spangly bits attached.
I currently have an Abit NF7-S2 motherboard (Nforce 2 with the bog standard crap, this is NOT the NF7-S 2.0 everybody loves, just a cheaper version) which doesn't overclock or have any bells or whistles other than SATA.
I was thinking of replacing my abit with the MSI, however:
1. General opinion of MSI so far over IRC is very low for a reason I dont know
2. The MSI has no mounting holes for my oversized (no, fecking HUGE) heatsink meaning I'd have to use the old stock one
Anyone have any experience of either or both boards and have a clue what I should do? Gone are the days when I could afford to prat about for a full day testing both thoroughly :|
