Write a review for the MSI S1366 Intel X58M ATX A L here!
Cheap and decent X58 motherboard
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 18/10/2009
Bought this motherboard and installed it in my case with Windows 7 64bit with no issues (and no need for a driver disk with a RAID setup). Worked with my Core i7 920 D0 stepping fine.
Aside from the usual hdd cables supplied, it also includes some handy motherboard header connectors which makes it very easy to plug the cables from your case into the motherboard.
The S775 and S1336 heatsink compatibility and the included low level HDD backup software are also nice extras. A good performing board at a very good price.
