We do not accept international credit card payments nor Letters of Credit (L/Cs). Customer is responsible for all fees deducted from wire transfer payments, including sending and intermediary bank fees. Please indicate “No Fees to Beneficiary” in the Reference Section or other appropriate section of your wire transfer advice. Customer is also responsible for short payments resulting from fluctuations in currency conversions. Prior to shipment, Evertek will advise customer of modifications to orders that are necessary because of short payments received.
International Shipments: International customers are responsible for determining their country duties, tariffs or taxes. For international shipments over 450kg we can provide prepaid freight quotes to major airports on a 'door to airport' basis. Truck Shipments: If no other method of shipment is specified, Evertek will ship via the least expensive qualified carrier available. If this is a concern, be sure to specify how you want an order shipped. (We use only reputable national carriers). Although you will have the option to insure your truck shipments, (common carriers like Yellow Freight, Roadway, etc.) it is STRONGLY advised that you carry separate inbound insurance. Shipments for computer products are classified as a 92.5 tariff and trucking companies have a limited liability of $5.00 per pound if a box is lost or damaged.
This means that if a 30lb. Box containing (10) hard drives is lost (valued at $80.00 each the box has a $800 value), the claim would only pay out $5.00 x 30lbs = $150.00. It is for this reason that we strongly suggest that you have insurance to cover you for such a situation. You Pay Shipping Charges: When you place an order, after you get to the final confirmation page, we will immediately email you a confirmation of your order.
Should you discover any errors, please contact us immediately. Freight charges may be blank on the confirmation.

Warranty Limitations: Evertek cannot warrant an item that has been improperly used or physically damaged.
RMA's: RMA Numbers are valid from 14 days after issuance. After you get an RMA number, please send the item(s) in immediately.
Fitness of Purpose: Evertek cannot warrant any product as fit for any particular use or purpose. We strongly recommend customers evaluate a sample unit to determine by their criteria whether a product will work in their configuration. In the world of computers there are many products that may be incompatible with a certain brand or certain parts. In cases like this it is your responsibility to resell the product into a standard application in which the part will work.
We are unable to take parts back because they will not work in particular brand product if they function correctly in others.

The MSI P6N SLI Platinum motherboard is a good mainstream motherboard for part time tweakers, full time gamers, or for anyone who wants a fully featured board without too steep a price tag. The P6N SLI Platinum boasts a unique silent chipset cooling system, an eSATA port for external hard drives to connect to, and a full compliment of solid state capacitors.
Even your friendly neighbourhood PCSTATS techies have suffered at the hands of blown and capacitors. With a modest compliment of accessories, and all the major must have's checked off, we're mostly interested in seeing how the nVidia nForce 650i SLI chipset handles. Follow along as PCSTATS asks the question; is the P6N SLI Platingum going to be a good alternative to expensive 680i SLI platforms? How will the 650i SLI overclock, run games, and deal with office applications? All good questions for sure, so let's begin. Built with the workhorse nVidia nForce 650i SLI SPP and nVidia nForce 650i MCP chipsets (nForce 430i according to MSI), the P6N SLI Platinum motherboard is compatible with all Socket 775 processors on the market; Celeron D, Pentium 4/D/XE and Intel Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad. It supports processors that operate on a 1333./1066/800/533MHz FSB (.when the higher FSB processors are available), and accomodates up to 8GB of in a dual channel configuration.
The bare minimum for Microsoft Windows Vista to run smoothly is 1GB, but PCSTATS recommends starting off with at least 2GB RAM. Standard equipment includes a PCI Express based Gigabit network connection (Marvell 8056), two IEEE 1394a Firewire ports and a 7.1 channel High Definition Azalia certified audio controller. There are four 3GB/s SATA channels in total (RAID 0/1/0+1/5 supported) and two IDE channels. An additional eSATA port at the rear of the board comes via a SIL3531 chipset.
Expansion is possible via two PCI Express x16 slots for graphics cards (when running SLI, both PCI Express x16 slots get 8 lanes each), while high bandwidth devices can be installed into a PCI Express x1 slot. It is important to note that the second PCI Express x16 slot is only used for a second graphics card running in SLI mode, according to MSI. There are three 32-bit PCI slots for legacy devices.
The MSI Dual CoreCell chipset adds onto all of this with a few dedicated temperature monitoring capabilities, and assists in overclocking. The nVidia nForce 650i SLI chipset is compatible with nVidia's Scalable Link Interface (SLI) so you can run two Geforce videocards for dual 3D game rendering. Since the 650i SLI isn't quite as powerful as the 680i, the videocards are capped off at 8 PCI Express lanes per card. With a retail price of the MSI P6N SLI Platinum motherboard offers a good set of mainstream-to-performance features. MSI P6N SLI Platinum Motherboard Includes: User's Manual, Driver CD, Quick Installation Guide, Rounded Ultra/133 IDE Cable, Rounded Floppy Cable, 4x Serial ATA Cables, eSATA Cable, 2x Molex to Serial ATA Power Cable, Northbridge Fan, SLI Bridge, SLI Bridge Retention Bracket, USB Bracket, IEEE 1394 Bracket Of note at the rear I/O panel are four USB2.0 headers, six jack-sensing audio jacks, coaxial/optical audio outputs and one FireWire port. There is one eSATA port here, though more than enough space for a second.
A set of USB and Firewire PCI brackets are included. There are three USB2.0 headers waiting to be used, and one additional IEEE1394a header. The motherboard layout is good on the whole, the EPS 12V power connector is in a bit of tight spot but that's about it. A physical CMOS reset button is a nice touch, and it certainly makes overclocking this board a smoother process.
Looking elsewhere, the main 24 pin ATX and two IDE connectors are all located to the right of the DIMM slots which keeps those cables out of the way. The lone FDD connector is right at the base of the board, out of the way but difficult to reach when all the front panel connectors are hooked up. If you plan on running a high end Intel Core 2 Duo CPU on this platform, we'd advise you to upgrade your power supply to an ATX2.0 compatible model with an ESP12V connector. The MSI P6N SLI Platinum will work with 20-pin, but older units are not designed to handle the power requirements of modern computers with multiple videocards. A compatible power supply is definitely required if you plan on running a dual videocard setup, one with at least 30A+ capacity on the 12V line to be specific. This is a good option. The user manual is well written, providing novice users with enough guidance to make it through hardware installation.
MSI also provide a poster sized quick installation guide to get you started on the right path. Solid Capacitors in place of the Electrolytic variety Microstar Computer, the manufacturer of the P6N SLI Platinum, has chosen to equip this motherboard entirely with solid state capacitors as opposed to the electrolytic variety. A few years back there was a huge problem with motherboards that were suffering from. This industry-wide event blossomed into a full blown epidemic, and almost single handily dragged ABIT's name through the mud. The general consensus was that ABIT boards were most affected at the time. The MSI P6N SLI Platinum uses conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors of the kind pictured at left.
Msi Sli Plus
These are the same type of capacitors mostly found on videocards, or in the CPU's power supply circuitry. The gist of the situation is that MSI have produced a motherboard with only this kind of capacitor, because it improves overall stability of the motherboard as the years roll. Being a solid-state device, the physical conditions which caused poor quality electrolytic capacitors to burst after 3 years are a non-issue. If you'd like to read up on the back story that led to the whole problem of burst and leaking caps, have a look at thisIt's actually a rather complicated story of industrial espionage. Next up, PCSTATS investigates MSI's totally silent chipset cooling system on the P6N SLI Platinum.
