 MSI has launched the MSI K9N2 Diamond, and the MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum motherboards. The MSI K9N2 series is based on the nForce 780a and 750a chipset.
And they support AMD socket AM2 and AM2+, phenom CPUs, PCI-Express generation 2.0, hybrid SLI, hybrid power and eSATA.
All new motherboards are equipped with the award winning MSI Ciru-Pipe heatpipe cooler. The MSI K9N2 Diamond comes with an X-Fi Xtreme Audio card and 3 way Nvidia SLI support.
Hybrid SLI
The MSI K9N2 series motherboards are Hybrid SLI ready. With this new technology you can combine the onboard GeForce GPU (780a and 750a) with a dedicated graphics card based on an Nvidia chipset, creating an extra performance boost.
Hybrid Power
When you combine (for example) a Nvidia 9800GX2 graphics card and an MSI K9N2 series motherboard, when your PC is NOT in 3D mode it can be powered off and switched to the onboard GeForce GPU. This provides a silent, low power, but high end PC solution.
The MSI K9N2 Diamond is 3-way SLI technology ready. This technology can combine 3 graphic cards to process tasks, which provides higher 3D gaming resolutions and more detailed DX10 effects.
It will also enhance the 3D frame rate to a higher level for a smoother gaming experience.
The MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum supports the SLI technology that combines 2 graphic cards.
