MSI's X58-equipped Eclipse in pretty pixels, again
written by Ciro - October 4, 2008 08:30

Although there's nothing here which hasn't been seen already, we'd never pass up the opportunity of some more X58 eye candy. MSI's X58 Eclipse is pixellized.

The culprit is MSI's X58 middle-man, the Eclipse motherboard which was last seen August but is now back in all its practically finished version.

Equipped with a non-CircuPipe copper-made cooling system, the upcoming Enthusiast level board has support for Socket 1366 Core i7 processors, triple-channel DDR3 memory via six RAM slots and three PCI-Express x16 slots that are both SLI and CrossFireX-ready.

The Eclipse also features 10 SATA 3.0 Gbps and two eSATA ports, a DMA channel, dual Gigabit Ethernet, Power, Reset and Clear CMOS buttons, plus a detachable D-LED2 LCD screen and a X-Fi PCIe x1 sound card. The X58 Eclipse will probably hit the stores in early November.
