eidairaman1 MSI K7N2 Delta, A64 boards, it wasnt until after AM2 that quality was going bad for them

At least they are on top of getting the BIOS files updated ASAP.There were signs of it going down during AM2 as well....... Think "Nikos".No way they are now or ever was the leading brand, they've always been a mid to lower tier make that I've ever known of.They did come up with some NICE innovations such as the OC dial found on some of their now older models with a few other things that actually worked BUT the inferiority of it's components (Nikos) nullifies all that unfortunately.In the end it can only be what it's made of and Nikos is just cheap, subpar quality.PLENTY of fried VRM's out there to back that up as fact too. @king of swag187 : I'd rather have an Asus than an MSI any day based on my personal experiences with both makes.
