 MSI 785GM-E65 motherboard review

The MSI 785GM-E65 motherboard

So MSI shipped-in their Micro ATX Series motherboard, MSI 785GM-E65 . An 80 to 90 USD motherboard armed with the AMD 785G and SB710 chipset, the motherboard supports the latest 45nm AMD Phenom II and Athlon II processors and sure, will also support dual channel DDR3 1333MHz memory (even 1600 MHz overclocked). As we just explained, integrated in the 785G series is an ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics core. A good thing to mention is, it's fully Microsoft Windows 7 ready, is DirectX 10.1 compatible and actually leads to three output connectors; D-SUB (VGA), DVI and HDMI connectors can be found on this mATX motherboard.

  • Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics
  • DirectX 10.1
  • Shader Model 4.1
  • 55nm process
  • 785G Northbridge
  • SB710 Southbridge
  • HyperTransport 3.0
  • 40 Stream Processors
  • 8 Texture Address Units
  • 4 Texture Filtering Units
  • 4 ROPs
  • Hybrid Graphics
  • AMD OverDrive 3
  • 500MHz
  • 16GB of DDR3 MEMORY SUPPORT
  • HTPC Ready
  • Easy OC Switch
  • Active Phase Switching
  • All Solid Capacitors
  • AMD Phenom II AM3 CPUs
  • AMD Live Ready

What's fun to know is that the motherboard is cooled completely passively and thus makes no noise whatsoever. Obviously the chipset supports the more high-end Socket AM3 Phenom II processors with a 140W TDP. The rest of its connectivity includes FireWire, eSATA (Raid 0,1 and 10 compatible), optical and analog digital sound outputs and one Gigabit Ethernet interface.
