Default Rumour Mill: MSI 'Big Bang' now a brand - 10-24-2009, 11:31 | posts: 1,032 | Location: Singapore | User is Offline

According to a recent rumour; what we know as the MSI Big Bang is to now be a brand of gaming products, rather then a specific motherboard.


The motherboard currently dubbed 'Big Bang' is to be the Big Bang 'Fuzion', to signify the Lucid Hydra technology onboard (presumably, they didn't say Fusion, since that's AMD's turf.).

Another item, the Trinergy, has supposedly popped up and will also be under the Big Bang branding. I would say the name suggests triple PCI-Ex16. Which isn't really special though...

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but chuckle at the branding names they've chosen. Hopefully the products themselves will turn out more impressive than their marketing names.

Yeah, Big Bang as a brand hardly strikes a chord really. Just sounds peculiar.

Fuzion as a model is alright, 'Fusion' is memorable. I guess they had to use 'z' to avoid conflict with AMD. I did a quick Google and the Fuzion has been confirmed.

As for the Trinergy, I have no more then speculation on it. It sounds like 'trinity' and 'synergy' combined.

i love MSI, had plenty of products and not one ever gave me a single problem, always top quality products that just work as intended for me.

on the other hand i absolutely despise and hate GIGABYTE and swore not to buy any ever again, their products may be quality and works for most people except me, nothing but problems.

mobos, 3dcard or even a PSU (800w), the mobos always gave me problems such as constant BSOD (intel, nforce or via) or even plain lock up right at the bios screen which is ridiculous, the 3dcards had the fan stop working 1 week later for no reason and even after replacing the card completely the new one had artifacts in almost every game and some drivers would not even install after a fresh OS installation (it would not recognize the card) go figure, the PSU that i bought brand new from the shop would shutdown 2 to 5 minutes right after booting into windows and the PC would not turn on unless i disconnect the psu from the mobo and reconnect it, replaced it with a another same one and same issue occurred.

no more Gigabyte for me, good brand, good products just some force in the universe don't want me to use them.

MSI Big Bang? i'm sure it'll be a great product.
