Surprisingly low price, given looks, features, Support for two graphics cards and AMD's power-hungry FX-9590, High-end audio and Ethernet features, Attractive black-and-red styling, Robust software suite includes RAMDisk app
Aging 970 chipset means some modern features are absent, Only two USB 3.0 ports on I/O plate, Limited PCIe lanes, PCIe 2.0 for dual-video-card configs
Those looking to build an affordable, attractive AMD-based gaming PC will like the MSI 970 Gaming, with its Killer Ethernet chip, audio-grade capacitors, and sleek black PCB. The chipset's circa 2011, but considering the board's features, looks, and unde...
As stated in the first paragraph, MSI has a truly lovely offering with the MSI 970 Gaming. Here is a tip, if you want value for money then bypass the processor we used today. Pick up the AMD FX-8320 Black Edition. It's the cheaper 8-core processor for on...
Abstract: Intel might still have the edge on single threaded applications, but an AMD system can give very solid multi-threaded performance without blowing the budget. Built on the ATX form factor, the board has an AM3+ socket and will support Athlon II, Phenom II ...

Abstract: ОГЛАВЛЕНИЕ:Некоторые комплектующие, попадающие на наш тестовый стенд заставляют изучить их очень основательно, так как каждый компонент в их составе реализован по-новому или претерпел значительные изменения с прошлого знакомства. Однако бывают и другие си...
When I first caught sight of the MSI 970 Gaming board, I was quite excited that someone was revitalizing the AM3+ ecosystem with a new and interesting board. Here was a board that looked great, had some really good features, and did not cost an arm and a...
Pas de DualBios, Boutons poussoirs non présents sur la carte mère
MSI offre une carte mère intéressante et très bien finie au niveau esthétique ainsi que sur son bundle. Reprenant le design de la gamme Gaming, la 970 Gaming propose des fonctionnalités que les cartes mères concurrentes n'ont pas puisqu'elles sont sorties...

Juist omdat de markt voor moederborden met socket AM3+ niet heel erg groot is, weet MSI vrij makkelijk een gat in de markt te vinden. Er zijn welgeteld twee borden met een 'state-of-the-art' Realtek ALC1150-audiocodec aan boord, waarvan de 970 Gaming du...

MSI 970 GAMING je skvělá deska, leč není bez nedostatků. Všechny ovšem souvisí s cenou, a tím, že prostě tohle je opravdu levný model. Nepodporu 220W FX-9000 procesorů nepovažujeme za problém, upřímně ty jsou extrémní a bylo by hodně extrémní jejich podpo...

Low price, Backwards support for AM3 and AM3processors, Killer Gigabit NIC, Sound Blaster Cinema 2 software, Gaming peripheral ports, Support for dual graphics cards, Smart styling, Effective Click BIOS is easy to navigate using a mouse, Solid performance
AMD 970 chipset does not support USB 3.0, OC Genie 4 barely overclocks the FX8350 CPU, The passive coolers require a decent amount of air flow to avoid problems, Poor positioning of the EPS power connector
The MSI 970 Gaming motherboard looks very smart in appearance with a colour scheme that is mainly black with a hint of red. This has a downside as the board is slightly more complicated to set up than we would like, thanks to the absence of colour coding ...
