I used to buy MSI back in 05-07 I hace since learned of there horrible customer service, and cheap quality boards. Had NB fan go out on 2 boards, VRAM chips on 3 laptop mobos, CPU's running hot due to poorly designed laptop, Customer Service told me to put some scotch tape on a vent which may help air flow....and so much more. I called techsupport so much over RMA's and crap that they knew who I was.
.
Since then they might of changed but holy crap, I have so much wasted time using that company.
Yea So since then I been using Gigabyte for cheaper boards and Asus for the more expensive boards.
I have NEVER had one issue with these companies. I will not use any other brand.
I haven't heard any good things about MSI recently though I did use them back in the Athlon 64 days without any problems. Gigabyte on the other hand was awful and I don't recommend them to anyone. Yes, their boards are often cheaper, but trust me, you get what you pay for here. You don't want to have your storage drive go out like mine just did (I luckily pulled off some important data recently) and have to deal with massive SSD errors.
I couldn't even use my brand new SSD because the motherboard was telling Windows 7 that it couldn't be formatted. I've had serious issues with the shitty SATA ports. Absolutely terrible. ASRock or bust for me from now on.
