news 28 Posted April 6, 2009 Current LGA 1366 motherboards are going for more than $200 for lower-end, “budget†mobos that support the Intel i7 platform. While most PC users don’t consider paying $200 for any of their PC parts as “budget or low-end", the realm of X58-based motherboards has made this nightmare a reality.

MSI’s DRMOS works to give users the highest performance with trying to balance out the PC’s overall power requirements. It’s definitely a balancing act, but I’m glad motherboard vendors are addressing this issue head on and development ways to improve power management."
