Built around the AMD 890FX and SB850 chipset the MSI 890FXA-GD70 is aimed at the power users and enthusiasts.

 Being that the MSI 890FXA-GD70 is designed with the enthusiast and extremist in mind means that it is designed for high performance and long life under extreme conditions. To accommodate these requirements it is built using the highest standards and Military Class Components. All of the Military Class components meet the temperature requirements of US Department of Defense MIL-PRF-39003L standard. What does this translate to four the end users? It means better stability and less heat! MSI uses Icy Chokes which offer a 20 degree Celsius lower temperature than traditional chokes. All of the traditional capacitors are solid capacitors that feature an Aluminum core. In addition to the solid caps, MSI also uses Hi-c Caps (Highly-conductive polymerized Capacitor). The Hi-c Caps use a Tantalum Core which is a rare and highly stable material. The Hi-C Caps have a life expectancy eight times that of solid capacitors.
