I'm honestly a little blown away by this board. It certainly does its job in an unfussy and simple way and provides performance that virtually mirrors the top end boards offered by ASUS.

Unlike the Crosshair IV Extreme the Fuzion is relatively affordable too - certainly a viable core component for a very high end gaming system. I can imagine many users prepared to stick by their AMD quad and hex cores choosing a board like this to eek out that extra perfromance.

Of course there's newer chips on the horizon and Intel's offerings remain highly competitive but if you have an Athlon II or Phenom II that you want to use in your next build then I can think of worse ways to breathe new life into your system!





Vortez would like to thank MSI for supplying the 870A Fuzion Power Edition for review.
