  • Intel Developer Forum, Day One: Intel Thinks Small
    This year’s Intel Developer Forum conference seems more notable for secondary technologies and what’s absent than about what’s being announced. Or, at least, that’s how it seems. On the other hand, there has been an intense focus on all things small. Read More

CeBIT 2008: MSI Motherboards with Intel X48 Chipset

Next news
9:37 PM - March 7, 2008 by Daniel Schuhmann

MSI is showing high-end motherboards using Intel's X48 chipset.

The X48 Platinum board sports 4 PCIe slots with a mechanical x16 coding, although only two of them actually provide PCIe 2.0 x16, while the other two only run at x4. DDR3 memory is supported up to a frequency of DDR3-1600. Should the board ever have trouble booting, a "troubleshooting poster" provides an explanation in the form of a code. MSI's Circu-Pipe heatpipe solution cools the northbridge, the southbridge and the voltage regulation modules. The VRMs themselves use a "Dual-Channel-Design" that is meant to improve efficiency. The board features 6 S-ATA ports, with the I/O shield adding another 2 eSATA connectors and 8 USB ports.

The X48C Platinum, on the other hand, provides support for DDR2-800 (2 slots) and DDR3-1600 (4 slots). It sports two PCIe 2.0 x16 slots for ATI's Crossfire. There are four S-ATA ports on the board plus two eSATA connectors. The X48C Platinum also features MSI's Circu-Pipe heatpipe solution
