Log in Don't have an account? The introduction of Socket addressed a variety of issues with Socket ; like excessive pressure from heatsinks which flexed the motherboard, not enough power-related pins to deal with high power consumption of emerging cores, and a few other points slightly more technical in nature. Features and Layout Foxconn A If Intel had decided to introduce a higher pin density, it would have had to use a substantially larger substrate, which would have taken up more real estate on an already space deprived motherboard. If the roadmaps continue unchanged, socket should be the defacto Intel desktop standard for the next two years. Note that it's already the second mainboard from MSI we reviewed, which uses this CMedia codec and which received the "Good" mark for the audio quality instead of usual "Very good" and "Excellent". Furthermore, if you divide the number of pins by the area of the processor you'll find that Socket chips are among the most dense ever.

Most any user will find a lot to like in this board's layout. MSI, like Asus, pays close attention to board layout. Enthusiasts in the crowd should be pleased to know the P Neo2 motherboard comes with a total of four fan headers.

This was quite a surprise, since MSI was the only Tier 1 major motherboard maker without a product in mxi X roundup. Proprietary technologies CoreCell fine tuning system parameters and enhanced monitoring capabilities D. This is intended to power single core processors that chew up around W of power. A pinned solution would have posed another problem; packing all those pins into the same small space would have meant even more fragile pins than used with the socket design.

BioShock Infinite and Metro: When we talk about the right mix of features, it could auddio be a specification list for MSI or Asus.

Only the 4-pin 12V power connector requires a bit of routing prowess with a location between the north bridge and the IO backplane. Log in Don't have an account? To help alleviate potentially problems, MSI have included a small plastic installation tool 915pp make inserting the socket processor a little easier, and foolproof. Fortunately, MSI also allows the user to dial-in their own overclocking options if they choose, which is an important feature for most enthusiasts. It's a handy tool for people who avoid instructions manuals.

One point not to be missed in all of this is that the socket retention mechanism is a precision piece of engineering, and proper installation and care is important. Dmitry Majorov destrax aidio. A series of Microstar mainboards based on this or at least on the similar PCB design is very large.

One can assume that the differences are in another plane — for example in their bundles SATA, extra IDE connectors and feature headers all are located at board edges where they will interfere least with slots. No one else really offers options from which to choose: It's in spite of the support for the newest standard of the on-board audio Northbridge voltage can be adjusted over ne2 similarly broad range.

The skeptics will say that Intel wanted to stem the flow of RMA's from processors with broken pins, but if you do a little digging, the real audiio are somewhat more complicated. Privacy policy and Terms of Use. Call it the family resemblance because the packaging for all the Neo2 boards is very similar.

So the question arrises of how to feed future generation processors with the power requirements of yesterday's CPU socket architecture? However, a good external audio card will hardly be replaced for the up-to-date Nel2 Audio by all users in our case — see the results of testing the integrated audio below. FR passband ripple from 40 Audiio to 15 kHzdB: Water and phase-change cooling advocates will wish for a bit more CPU voltage range though.
