Settings: [Enabled], [Disabled]. S3-related functions described in this section are available only when your BIOS supports S3 sleep mode. If your operating Settings are: [Power Off] The power button functions as normal power off button. Settings: [], [], [], [], [], []. Monitor function is available only if there is hardware monitoring mechanism onboard. Chassis Intrusion Detect The field enables or disables the feature of recording the chassis intrusion status and issuing a warning message if the chassis is once opened.
Change these settings only if you are familiar with the chipset. Please note that memory is prevented from running faster than this frequency. Setting options: [], [], [], []. This controls the CAS latency, which determines the timing delay in clock cycles before This is not a DRAM-specified timing parameter, but must be considered due to routing laten- cies on the clock forwarded bus.
It is counted from the first address bus slot that was not associated with part of the read burst. It is designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU frequency automatically.
W hen the motherboard detects CPU is running programs, it will speed up CPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. Setting options: [Disabled], [Auto]. For the purpose of ensuring the stability of Cool'n'Quiet function, it is always recommended to have the memories plugged in DIMM1.

However, you can ins tall the Supplemental Language Support provided by Microsoft to solve this problem. Page 83 Introduction to DigiCell 3.
Then go to the [Advanced] tab and select the language you want to be supported the language of the filename in the MegaStick from the drop- down list in the [Language for non-Unicode programs], then click [Apply]. The system will install the necessary components from your Microsoft Setup CD immediately.
Please note that the new setting will not take effect until you restart your computer.

These audio effects take your computer beyond home-theater quality, immersing you in sound so vivid, your imagination can almost "see" You can also adjust the pitch of the music and microphone effect to suit your voice.
Page M S ATX M ainboard Time Scaling: Varying the speed of playback Karaoke fans and musicians may sometimes wish to slow a song down or speed it up to catch the lyrics or play along with the music. However, varying the speed usually also varies the pitch of the song. The first thing you notice is strong tone changes. If the engineers tried to bring significant differences to audio quality, they apparently achieved the desired effect.
The second peculiarity is worse stereo panorama and detailing. Against a background of sound degradation, we can make out some subjective softening of the attack and high-frequency sharpness — perhaps that was the idea, to use the tube filter for low-bitrate MP3 records?
Some people may like the sound, but we would have preferred a tube filter offering more even harmonics of a limited number it's hard to explain 20 harmonics of a large amplitude. Tests of the headphones-out on the tube panel with Sennheiser HD demonstrate that the amplifier provides a necessary comfortable volume level, but possesses no power reserve.
Readings for the headphones-out without a load match those for the line-out. Proprietary technologies and peculiarities Heatpipe Design — a common quiet cooling system with heat pipes for a chipset with a heatsink, made from copper plates SmartFan — automatic adjustment of CPU and chipset fan speeds depending on corresponding temperatures DOT express — dynamic overclocking of a processor; there is a new feature - it synchronously increases bus and memory voltages!
DDR Power jumper Memory voltage range: 2. The mentioned BIOS parameters are available in this version, but the viability of non-standard settings hasn't been tested. A separate mention should be made of rare settings for Scrub parameters for ECC memory. Besides, MSI made a present to hardcore overclockers - they can overclock memory to very high values, but to unlock additional values you should replace the corresponding jumper. In particular, we make sure we didn't forget some parameter set to 2T.
No, everything is correct. Thus, the results permit us to draw a conclusion that the MSI model [for some reason] works with memory a tad slower than the ASUS model.
But to all appearances, the formal lag of the MSI K8N Diamond Plus from its direct competitor in games the main profile for such motherboards is also the effect of memory operation differences, we detected no differences between the graphics interfaces. Bottom line Such insignificant performance differences will hardly affect the overall positive impression of this motherboard.
MSI did a good job to make a High-End board. We should mention the original dynamic overclocking technology, which controls not only a processor, but also system parameters. The expert design of the model and its interesting bundle allow us to recommend it to all enthusiasts, who will also get a tiny bonus from the sterling SLI x16 in games. What concerns a tube in the audio section, we should point out a difference from the pioneer among tube motherboards — AOpen AX4B Tube.
In this AOpen model, the tube was integrated into the motherboard. But the MSI motherboard has the tube unit connected to standard outputs at the rear panel and this unit is not a mandatory component. Moreover, it can be used with any other motherboard and sound card. Our tests show that the tube panel changes the audio quality much, but it does not follow the concept of the tube audio in the traditional sense — the harmonic spectrum does not improve the audio quality subjectively.
Perhaps, this design acts just as a decoration. We can only congratulate the manufacturer with this original concept and wish to perfect it in future models.

Installation and configuring the BIOS is pretty straightforward. Windows XP booted up either crashed or got blue screen. I reinstalled the OS and solved the problem. I have the onboard sound disabled and Windows reported an unknown PCI modem found. This has been discussed in MSI forum.
Not a big deal for me. If you have the onboard sound enabled, then you won't see this problem. Driver CD is flaky, some options in the list would disappear after I installed them. So I just download the latest driver from NVidia site and it works just fine.
These little problems may vary from person to person, but they can be resolved easily as long as the board is running solid afterward, which is all I care. Cons: As others pointed out in their posts, this board has a 8-pin connector for CPU power.
Many power supplies including the newer ones have a 4-pin connector instead, and it will fit the half of the 8-pin socket on the motherboard. I don't have any problem leaving the other half open. According to MSI technician, leaving the other 4 pins open is fine.
This is not documented anywhere in the manual or on MSI web site. Pros: Went together very easy. Being my first build I was a little nervous, but had no problems at all. Have not had one single stability or compatability issue with this board or setup.
Bought everything from newegg. Great transaction. Cons: I was a little concerned about the 8 pin CPU plug on the motherboard but the 4 pin plug on my powersupply worked just fine. ALPS Silver 1. Pros: This happens to be an extremely nice board. For the most part, very easy to install.
