Today MSI has announced the its latest X58 mainboards supporting the Intel Core i7 processor: MSI Eclipse Plus. It also offers exclusive MSI features enabling higher performance and 2nd generation MSI DrMOS/APS technology.
Furthermore you will find a new Split Thermal Heatpipe design and the next generation solid caps called Hi-c CAP for maximum lifespan.
The MSI OC Dial and Easy Buttons also make it easier to overclock to extreme levels, furthermore, the mainboard comes with a NF200 chip, supporting true quad SLI and Quad CrossFireX in a unique 16/16/16/4 formation.
MSI DrMOS and APS
MSI Eclipse Plus is equipped with the 2nd generation, true 6-phase MSI DrMOS power design and APS (Active Phase Switching). The board is designed to be power efficient as MSI APS switches the phases of the CPU and also of the QPI, chipset and memory.
Besides this it is the only OS independent power saving system on the market.
Quad SLI and Quad CrossFireX support
MSI Eclipse Plus comes with the nvidia NF200 chip to enable 4 PCI-E x16 connectors running at 16 / 16 / 16 / 4 speed. These four slots enable full speed 3-Way SLI setups and Quad SLI. On top of that users can now enjoy the maximum bandwidth possible running true Quad CrossfireX.
Hi-c CAP’s
For the best stability and longest lifespan, MSI Eclipse Plus is equipped with the next generation Solid Capacitor called Highly-conductive polymerized Capacitors (Hi-c caps). This features ensures high voltage derating and the resistant to high temperatures.
MSI OC Dial
Experienced users can boost the performance of MSI Eclipse Plus to extreme levels with the help of MSI's OC Dial. This special overclocking feature enables real-time overclocking and downclocking of the CPU clockspeed manually.
Split Thermal Design
The new heatpipe on the MSI Eclipse Plus provides split thermal cooling. This new cooling prevents the chipset to transfer any heat to the cool running DrMOS PWM. To emphasize the new special heatpipe design MSI Eclipse Plus has a new colour scheme. Since the heat pipe is attached with metal screws to the PCB, it can be easy remove for the extreme liquid nitrogen overclockers.
Improved BIOS, Creative X-Fi Audio Hardware, MSI GreenPower Geniue (It is connected via the System Management Bus and can detect real-time 12V, 5V and 3.3V) and MSI Drive Booster (double your HDD performance) brings up the rear in terms of features.
No price details as of yet.
