The motherboard is equipped with the award winning MSI ciru-pipe heatpipe cooler. The MSI K9N2 Diamond comes with an X-Fi Xtreme audio card and 3 way Nvidia SLI support.The MSI K9N2 Diamond is 3-way SLI technology ready. This technology can combine 3 graphic cards to process tasks, which provides higher 3D gaming resolutions and more detailed DX10 effects. It will also enhance the 3D frame rate to a higher level for a smoother gaming experience.The MSI K9N2 Diamond comes with MSI's exclusive circu-pipe heatpipe cooler. The MSI circu-pipe effectively reduces the high temperature of the chipset and MOFSET, this improves the system's stability and product life. The CPU power supply of the MSI K9N2 Diamond is based on a five phase PWM design. The PWM capacitor on the motherboard is HI-C CAP. HI-C CAP (highly-conductive polymerized capacitor) is a high end capacitor which is already used for years in the server industry. MSI is the first to implement this next generation solid capacitor on the desktop platform as well. The HI-C CAP is suitable for motherboards with a high-frequency switching power supply. The looks of the HI-C CAP are similar to the Tantalum capacitor.
