Hi,

Wondering what people think of the msi 875P NEO-FIS2R? What experiences have
you had with it? I am stuck between this board and the ASUS P8C-800 Deluxe.
Which would be better?

Thanks

RC

I do not have the specific board you mentioned, but I do have the
865pe Neo2 FIS2R. It was between that or an ASUS. Since I already
had another MSI, I tried this one. I have a 2.6Ghz P4, 1GB Kingston
HyperX, ATI AIW 9000Pro, 2 HDD, 2 Optical. It works great.

I have it and had a lot of difficulties getting it run fine (2 changes made
by my local dealer - bad MB, memory issues, stranges hangs at reboot ..)

go Asus

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies!

Anyone else have issues good or bad with this board? I am leaning towards it
pretty heavily as the ASUS have problems with Antec power supplies and I
will be using a Antec 430 True Power so I am leary about an ASUS board. I
would like to get as many opinions as possible to make an educated decision!

Thanks,

RC

I am running an Antec True Power 550 with it tweaked just a bit. This
board and the RAM like a voltage boost to 2.7v. It will let you OC
quite easily. I can't speak for ASUS as do not own one. Checkout
this forum. Many have questions and concerns.

The differance between the 865pe chip and the 875p chip is NOTHING if you
get a asus/msi board, the 865pe core is a 875core with the PAT turned off,
asus/msi allows you turn it on in the bios, so... if you wanna spend $$$ for
something you can get cheeper, thats up to you. MSI 865pe neo2 or ASUS
p8p-800 delulxe would be a wiser choice, as for which of these 2 is better?
The msi has a nb fan with BLINKING lights, the asus has a heatsink, msi
board is red, asus is ugly brown... i went with the 'ice' factor.
