Cebit 2011 some highlights

Tradeshow & OC events by leeghoofd @ 2011-04-07

It's Hannover time again. After a 6 hour drive I entered the holy grounds of the Cebit 2011 Messe. Being a hardware enthousiast I went out to look for the new stuff ( as usually CES spoils all the fun ). So this is not a Cebit coverage with all sorts of cases, docking stations, USB sticks with lasers etc... Just the things that I found either good looking, innovative or usefull to the enthousiast crowd. Hence the title : some highlights :) And ofcourse as a reviewer you are obliged to meet and greet all the lovely people that send us the goodies to play with.

MSI

MSI had it's Big Bang Marshal board on display. Design looks great , though no idea if that many PCI-E slots for multi GPU solutions are a great idea on Sandy bridge

Z86 chipset in MSI's military blue inspired outfit:

On the right it is the P67A-GD80. PCBs look quite familiar don't they ?

For the mainstream users the twinfrozer II design get's a slight midlife update. Better cooling around the Heatpipes should allow for lower GPU operating temperatures.

The two latest editions to the Lightning class, the 6970 and GTX 580. Rumours were that NickSih already breached past 1500MHz GPU clocks. Hopefully the MSI GTX 580 Ligthning can obtain clocks similar to the boost the GTX 275 lightning had from the reference card...

Bold statements for the MSI high end gaming notebook :

It looks classy ( besides the long haired dude displayed on the screen ), super audio included. SSD inclusion is still on debate...
