MSI shows off its P55A Fuzion board
 

EARLIER TODAY MSI hosted a pre Computex press conference intended to pique the interest of the local media, although yours truly also managed to sneak in to give you all a quick look at what MSI will be showing off at Computex. What caught our eye was the new P55A Fuzion motherboard featuring a Lucid Hydra 200 chip among its features.

This is meant to be a more affordable alternative to the X58 based Big Bang Fuzion, but to call it a budget board would be a lie. MSI has kitted out the P55A Fuzion with both SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0. Of note is the unusual configuration of the USB 3.0 ports, as MSI only fit one port to the rear I/O panel, while the second USB 3.0 port can be found standing straight up on the motherboard, just behind the rear port. This is meant to make it easier to connect it to front USB 3.0 ports on cases, although it also means that if your case doesn’t have front USB 3.0 ports, you’re one USB 3.0 port short.
