| With the Big Bang Marshal, MSI created a truly impressive motherboard which comes with an awful lot of features but still look nice an tidy. MSI shows at lot of attention to detail regarding the color scheme and the design in general. Everything fits together and creates a harmonic picture. Regarding features the Big Bang Marshal comes for example with a total of eigth PCI-Express x16 slots. There also is their "OC Genie" button which is very useful for users who want to overclock their system but don't know how to do it. Especiall impressive about this board is its 36 phase power design. In fact there is no other board out on the market at the moment which comes with a more sophisticated power design. | - Design - Layout - Power Design - 8 PCI-Express x16 Slots |

Generally the MSI Big Bang Marshals layout is very well thought and the different components have been arranged neately. Once more very practical are the angled SATA connectors as well as the onboard power and reset buttons. At the back panel you'll also find a clear CMOS jumper which also is a practical addition. Regarding the eight PCI-Express x16 slots we have to mention that "only" four should be used in combination with video cards. The other four slots have provided with only one PCI-Express lane which would compromise the performance significantly. |
