Viper Lair review the MSI X58 Platinum Motherboard, based on the X58 chipset for i7 processors:

While the MSI x58 Eclipse supports both Crossfire and SLI, thePlatinum series supports only Crossfire as of this writing (there is rumor of a X58 Platinum SLI as well). Of course most of us will not stress over this“shortcoming”, especially when we see the $70 or more extra in our pockets. The only other high end offering that I can see missing is the ability to do 3 way Crossfire / SLI, most of us will not miss that feature either. MSI has labeled the X58 Platinum as part of their “Gaming Series”, to prove out their point they have included several niceties that have come to be expected by the premier gaming Motherboard Manufacturers such as Asus, DFI, EVGA et all. Putting MSI clearly on the map of enthusiasts who want performance and stability for as little coin as possible.
