MSI asked for their hardware back, reneging on the deal we had. So I am sending it all back. I now have a tonne of work to do re-testing the already tested boards with other VGAs. MSI is a bunch of...

Yep, over 200 hours invested in testing and doing review work, all for just $40. I'm an idiot, and this is a valuable lesson. It's not your fault. I'm pretty pissed, however. It's not like I don't have other boards, however, so there's no time for that, I gotta get to work. Need reviews for next week, and it's Friday. Unbelievable.:mad:

I dunno. Nothing apparantly, they say it's just pendantic stuff(my words, not theirs), and I'll not bore you with the drama since that's not really appropriate.

However, I did promise some people I'd look at these boards, but they are already on their way back to MSI, so that's just a heads up.


Meanwhile(and now I feel like I'm playing fanboy saying this, but really, that's not the case), I'm memory clocking on ASUS.

Actually, these new boards use some truly good parts. They have some really great products right now, hardware-wise, they need some minor BIOS tweaking and that's all. The rest is just political BS, and I don't play games. I could portray this differently if I wanted, but honestly, their Z87 boards are pretty good and they chose the right mix of parts this time. They got that award from Computex for good reasons.

I really do put excessive abuse on boards myself, more than MSI's testing center does, and they've held up pretty good. If I'm not breaking them, you won't either.;) :roll:

its just as much for show as it is work for some people. There is nothing wrong with having a pleasing to the eye case/components.
