[QUOTE="Shripad, post: 580932, member: 272"] In terms of computer hardware, you are comparing ancient products in wrong category. Lot, or should I say everything had changed from NF4 days. MSI Neo4 Platinum was high end board. A8N-CSM was value board from ASUS. A8N32 SLI Deluxe was competitor to the Neo4 platinum and it too was a darn good board (had little issue with the NB fans but it had easy workaround ). MSI has gone way too conservative these days. Even Neo4 platinum was conservative. It only gave user option of 2.85v which was not enough for legendary microns of the time. at the same time other manufacturers were offering voltages all the way upto 3.6v. Same trend is here today. Their voltage options, suck, their bios sucks and the board dont overclock well at all. Cheap biostar/gigabyte board trounce the entire MSI range when it comes to real world practicality. @saintsinner : You wont need bios update on P5Q, all the bios support your choice of processor. You can easily update the bios using USB drive, no problems there. Eazy flash will make that job even easier. CCF fits on this board. It takes little effort to get it in place( thats given on any board to be honest. CCF is not the easiest cooler to mount or unmount ), but it fits. [/QUOTE]
