Solid Capacitors for motherboard longevity. MSI includes pretty much everything you'll need to take advantage of the onboard peripherals in the box. MSI have assembled the K9A2 Platinum motherboard with entirely conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors.
Chipset fans have a bad habit of failing over time, or ,si hopelessly clogged with dust. There's an interesting back story behind the wide adoption of polymer capacitors on higher end motherboards, if you have time read this PCSTATS article It's actually a rather complicated story revolving around industry espionage A clever solution patinum sure, and one that most motherboard manufacturers have embraced as a quiet way of managing the heat from chipsets.
MSI K9A2 Platinum, AM2+, AMD (7376-010) Motherboard
AMD's FX chipset is capped with distinctive round finned heatsink wrapped with heatpipes. As always, it's important to remember that if water cooling is used here, you have to point a fan in the platinnum of these passive heatsinks or the chipsets will not be adequately cooled. Beginners Guides Cases and Access. Phenom argument for another article like this.

We'll leave the Core 2 Duo vs. A pair of heatpipes snake their way through the components on the K9A2 Platinum, connecting the Northbridge heatsink to a large thin fin copper heatsink mounted to the processor power supply MOSFETs.
Privacy policy and Terms of Use. The tables have certainly turned in the other direction now, but AMD still makes very affordable processors which are ideal for mainstream PC and gaming demands.

The two AMD chipsets generate a moderate amount of heat, but this totally silent thermal solution is better than using a bunch platinim little noisy fans. These are the same type of capacitors mostly found on videocards, and being a solid device they don't leak or burst years down the road.
This motherboard has almost everything a person needs, except perhaps a Port 80 card which would have been a nice added touch.
