    Hello everybody.
    this is my first post here at NTBR forum.
    Well i'm buying a MSI FX420 with Intel Core i5 2410M, HM65 Chipset. And i'm very concerned about the possibility of the notebook have a problem with the chipset HM65 and this processor.
    Someone can tell me something about ?
    I could not identify the at MSI website if this motherboard is already B3 review or Bug free ?
    Thanks.

    The only model that was affected by the 6 series chipset is the GT680R, it's listed on the website (though pretty hard to find), so the FX420 should not be a problem. The extended warranty is something nice to have, but it says you have to register within 30 days of purchase in order to get that. Better take action now.
