Since Intel launched their P35 series over 5 months, all the motherboard
makers also started to sell their products since May. In the first minute,
P35 series defined on Mid-high range segment products,
that push P965 series become mainstream or entry level.
MSI first launch their P35 Platinum, defined on mid-high range segment.
This board have better overclock ability and valuable spec.,
that’s great improvement compare with MSI old Intel platform products,
also can beat other competitors.
The higher level X38 chipset products will come out soon,
We don’t know if this will match same situation as 975X/P965 segment define,
But on P35 products side which come our over 4 months, it’s about time to
have more competition on Cost/Performance.
This time we have mainstream fighter P35 from MSI – P35 Neo2-FR
As I know, the K8 platform Socket939 generation, the model “MSI K8N Neo2â€
did have great moment on the market. Hope the P35 Neo2 could have that
kind of glory to hot sell on the market.
The box design, similar as P35 Platinum, just don’t have the shinning surface cover design.
Inside stuff
Maybe not much, but all needed things here, comes with EZ-Jumper (Below IDE cable.
MSI P35 Neo2-FR
Compare with P35 Platinum, only have some pipe reduce on looks,
but that makes this board more clear and clean.
MB Down left side.
2x PCI-E x16 (Support ATI CrossFire technology, run on 16x+4x speed.)
4x SATAII (ICH9R)
1x SATA2+1x IDE (marvell 88SE6111)
The red button is for Clear CMOS function, with debug signal LED near by.
Up right side,
4x DIMM DDR2 memory, support 667/800/1066 frequency.
Up left side,
LGA775 architecture, support Intel Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo processors.
The PWM designed with 4 Phase circuit.
IO
6x USB 2.0
2x eSATA(ICH9R)
1x RJ45 jack
7.1 channel audio connector
Smaller but easier design heatpipe.
Northbridge P35 heat spread zone.
