The capacitor placement fouls the ability of the retention mechanism to work well and you have to resort to poking at the lever with something in an attempt to make it budge. BSOD's do occur however and the audio stops sometimes.

It may be a component in my setup, it may be a BIOS setting tweaked wrongly but I'm sure more memory performance is mei to be unlocked. MSI were kind enough to courier me their latest, not-even-on-the-website, motherboard for review, the K7T Pro2.

I must prk2 out that it has been a real struggle to get performance out of the MSI board. I always like to take a look at the layout of the motherboards that pass through my system. Board layout as we've discussed is fine. What a waste in my opinion.

Would it totally sweep me off my feet and carry me into a glorious world of high overclockability where DDR is the only way to go?

Next up we have the memory bandwidth benchmarks. Software installation was also mzi. It's the little things all rolled into one that make the MSI stand out for me. Here we see the corresponding We are rendering the pawns scene here at x resolution. The manual makes not reference to the procedure to enable a working motherboard if the SmartKey is lost you can use a new SmartKey as long as you provide the correct password and the password is then copied to the new SmartKey and you enter the wrong password 3 times, locking the BIOS and the system completely.

Thumbs up to MSI and if they can sort out the small issues in a later revision, they can't fail mssi succeed with this board. Overall conclusion So how do we find the MSI as a whole? A bad layout for me can be the difference between getting and ignoring a new motherboard, regardless of what features or performance it offers.

The inclusion of things like USB2. Otherwise, thumbs up to MSI.

Quake3 and 3DMark respond well to the new chipset giving us the broad impression that most OpenGL and Direct3D game performance will increase. At MHz, the run takes 50 seconds. I wish these extra connectors would run parallel to the vertical edge but that's only personal preference. All in all, not a hugely compelling upgrade over current AMD DDR solutions, but the speed increases are there to be used if you can take advantage of them.

If you are a heavy gamer, it's a nice upgrade.

This is an optional feature and one we jsi very glad to see MSI had included on the board. I didn't install the extra Windows software component due to it being a review motherboard but rest assured the hardware side of things works well. As always though, it all depends on the applications that you run and whether they will be able to take advantage of the new speed increases.

Is it the same again, not quick, hard to implement etc and have MSI done a good job with the board? The notable additions include the USB 2. Proo2 numbers in this benchmark fall right into line with the Reference numbers provided with Sandra in this new version.

POV-Ray streams plenty of data from main memory to the CPU and back to perform its intensive calculations required to render our test scene. For the average home user playing a few games here and there and using office application on something like the AMD platform, the upgrade doesn't make sense really. Okay, back to the board It's a nice addition and gives you an extra piece of mind and seems to work well.
