MSI’s X58M mainboard based on the X58 chipset supports Intel's latest Core i7 CPU family yet packaged into a smaller MicroATX form factor design for exceptional functionality and expandability in a tinier form. This board excels in total volume, performance and expandability, and is the best choice for building a Windows 7 platform.
The soon to be released Windows 7, though an extension of the Windows Vista core architecture, is more user-friendly and has been optimized to use less system resources. Windows 7 is the perfect mix of beauty and usability, and gamers everywhere have high expectations for this upcoming operating system.APS unique power-saving technology
The compact MSI X58M equips a 6 phase power design for its PWM, which fully supports the Intel Core i7 line of CPUs. Additionally, the X58M uses MSI's unique environmentally-friendly, power-saving technology, APS (Active Phase Switching). It intelligently monitors the computer’s loading to adjust the amount of power supplied, saving energy without sacrificing performance.
Easy OC Switch - Easy overclocking technology
In addition to expanding the BIOS functionality and support for overclocking, the X58M includes MSI's easy overclocking booster dubbed the “Easy OC Switch”. The user does not have to understand any complex BIOS settings or possess any other overclocking know-how – just hit the switch and one can easily bring forth his/her machine's full potential.
NVIDIA SLI and ATi CrossFireX dual-graphics card support
The X58M also includes an extra PCI-E slot on its small MicroATX form factor for a total of two PCI-E x16 slots. This feature allows it to support both NVIDIA's SLI and ATI's CrossFireX dual-graphics cards technologies for an easy and optimal graphical performance expansion.
True Blu-ray Audio
MSI paid special attention to the X58M’s sound support in order to better fulfill the discerning ears of Blu-ray HD enthusiasts. This board uses a true Blu-ray hi-def sound ALC889S audio chip, and also includes support for 7.1 sound channels, DTS, Dolby and other sound technologies. With such hi-def Blu-ray audio support, the X58M brings you closer to the action for the ultimate audio experience.
