PC Perspective spotted a 990FX prototype motherboard from MSI at CES 2011!

There are a couple of things that really pop out at you. The first is the Military Grade II components that MSI introduced today with the latest P67 motherboards at the high end. DrMOS drivers and High-C caps are not new, but the Dynamic Switching SFCs (super ferrite choke) are an upgrade.

The mosfets are covered by a very small heatsink, and we are not really sure if the final heatsink is going to be as small as this. The board is still in the very same vein as the current 890FXA-GD70, with multiple PCI-E 16X slots and CrossFire X support.
