You ask about the chipset, but the only chipset involved is on the motherboard that you listed. Since I detest MSI motherboards, I can't comment about any of the components comprising them. My advise is to not get near enough to touch a MSI motherboard with a 10 foot pole. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

It seems that we both have some problems understanding each other, but I would think that my statement about MSI motherboards is pretty clear. However, to be more succinct...choose another brand of motherboard. MSI quality is poor, and their support is worse. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number DIY OS W7x64 Pro, SuSe 12.1/** W7 x64 Pro, XP MCE CPU Phenom II 1090T w/Noctua NH-D14 /**4400+ X2 w/CM Hyper TX 3 Motherboard ASRock 890FX Deluxe 4/**A8N-SLI Memory 2 x 2GB Patriot PGS34g1600LLKA/**4x1GB Corsair VS Graphics Card EVGA GTX460 SC/**EVGA 8800GTS Sound Card Asus Xonar D2X/**Xonar D1 Monitor(s) Displays Acer X233H, Dell E152FPc /**LG M237-WD Screen Resolution 1920x1080 & 1024x768/**1980x1080 Keyboard Logitech Media USB/**Saitek Eclipse Mouse Cordless Trackman Wheel/**Ditto PSU CM RS600 w/ APC BX1000G/**Antec 500 TP w/ APC BX1000 Case HAF922/**Antec 1040IIB Cooling 3x200mm, 1x140 and 1x120mm/**5x80mm fans Hard Drives WDC 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, 500GB,Seagate 500GB , Maxtor 80GB /**500GB Seagate & WDC 1TB Black Internet Speed 3.3Mbps Other Info SB 560 5.1 w/ Sennheiser RS140/**Creative T20 speakers, Dvico FusionHDTV7 Gold RT, Cisco E3000, HP 5510V AIO, Linksys E3000, Belkin F5U237 hub and **F5D8055 adapter

Please give me the opportunity to tell you about MSI. I had a new board that was inoperable and had to be RMA'd. After they kept it for 8 weeks, they returned a used board that someone else had RMA'd, and it would BSOD about 10 times a day. I called tech support and they told me it was my fault because I couldn't use the type of ram I was using. So, I asked if that was true, why was that ram on their QVL list. Then they told me I needed to get a better CPU. I told him it was an AM3 board and I had a PhenomII X6 CPU, so what would he suggest I upgrade to. He hung up on me and they refused to talk to me any more or answer any emails. The board is in the dump right now. Hopefully, this story will clear up any misunderstanding you may have about MSI.
Also, If I were buying an AMD board right now, I would buy an AM3+ board. They are backward compatible with AM3 chips, but will also allow you to update to the new bulldozer chip that is supposed to come out in the next 2 weeks. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Brew - Always under construction OS Windows 7 X64 Professional/Windows 8 CPU intel i7-2600K Motherboard Asus P8Z68 V-Pro/GEN 3 Memory 8GB G.Skill Sniper DDR3-2133 (2X4GB) Graphics Card EVGA 670 2GB Sound Card Asus Xonar Monitor(s) Displays Asus 24" LCD VW246H Screen Resolution 1920X1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse Logitech G500/Logitech Wireless PSU CORSAIR HX850W Case Cooler Master HAF X Cooling Corsair H100 w/ 4 noctua fans in push/pull.

Funny but sad...did you consider small claims court? Yes, I considered it as a matter of principle. But #1 A lawyer and court costs would have cost me more than the board was worth. And I would have probably been without a computer for a year or 2. #2 In order to stabalize the board, I replaced almost everything in the computer, Ram twice, PSU, even the HDs. I figured with what I had already spent, the cost of a new MB (other than MSI) would be of little consiquence.
BTW: I might add that during this process I promised them I would write rviews everywhere I could and explain exactly how MSI treated its customers. I think I just tried to do that. Also, please don't be alarmed if you see this post other places.
