MSI Special Features
Fuzzy Logic III
The Fuzzy Logic III utility allows users to overclock the CPU FSB
(Front Side Bus) frequency under the Windows operating system. Select the
CPU frequency you prefer and click Go to apply the new setup value or click
Save to allow the system running at the specified frequency each time when
you click Turbo. If you want to know the maximal CPU overclocking value,
click Auto to start testing. The CPU FSB will automatically increase the testing
value until the PC reboots. After rebooting, click Turbo to apply the test
result.
In the latest Fuzzy Logic III utility, we have added two new functions,
AGP Ratio and Adjust CPU Vcore.
To enable the new function, AGP Ratio, select the AGP ratio check box
and the utility will automatically adjust the AGP ratio and overclock to a higher
frequency.
The other function, Adjust CPU Vcore, allows you to adjust the CPU
Vcore for a more stable voltage control and better overclocking effects.

PC Alert III
The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the CD-ROM disk. The utility
is just like your PC doctor that can detect the following PC hardware status
during real time operation:
* monitor CPU & system temperatures
* monitor fan speed(s)
* monitor system voltage
* monitor chassis intrusion
If one of the items above is abnormal, the program
main screen will be immediately shown on the screen,
with the abnormal item highlighted in red. This will continue to be shown until users disable the warning.
Note: Items shown on PC Alert III vary depending on your systems
status.

D-Bracket 2 (optional)
D-Bracket 2 is an external USB bracket integrating four Diagnostic
LEDs, which use graphic signal display to help users understand their system.
The LEDs provide up to 16 combinations of signals to debug the system. The
4 LEDs can debug all problems that fail the system, such as VGA, RAM or
other failures. This special feature is very useful for the overclocking users.
These users can use the feature to detect if there are any problems or failures.
D-Bracket 2 supports both USB 1.1 & 2.0 spec.

Hardware Setup
This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components
and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if you install in
the wrong orientation, the components will not work properly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processor in the 478 pin
package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU
installation. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat
sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not
find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install
them before turning on the computer.
CPU Installation Procedures
1. Pull the lever sideways away
from the socket. Then, raise
the lever up to a 90-degree
angle.
2. Look for the gold arrow. The
gold arrow should point towards the lever pivot. The
CPU will only fit in the correct
orientation.
3. Hold the CPU down firmly,
and then close the lever to
complete the installation.
Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system,
always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to

Installing the CPU Fan
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher
performance, thermal management becomes increasingly important. To dissipate heat, you need to attach the CPU cooling fan and heatsink on top of the
CPU. Follow the instructions below to install the Heatsink/Fan:
1. Locate the CPU and its retention
mechanism on the motherboard.
retention mechanism
3. Mount the fan on top of the
heatsink. Press down the fan until
its four clips get wedged in the
holes of the retention mechanism.
2. Position the heatsink onto the retention mechanism.
4. Press the two levers down to
fasten the fan. Each lever can be
pressed down in only ONE
direction.

5. Connect the fan power cable from the mounted fan to the 3-pin fan power
connector on the board.

CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 14
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 14
= 1.4GHz
Overclocking
This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
WARNING!
However, please make sure your components are able to
tolerate such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking.
Any attempt to operate beyond product specifications is not
recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks
caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
specifications.

Hardware Setup
Memory
The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin, 2.5V unbuffered DDR DIMM
with 4 memory banks. You can install PC1600/PC2100 DDR SDRAM modules
on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~2). To operate properly, at least one DIMM
module must be installed.
DDR DIMM Slots
(DDR 1~2)
Introduction to DDR SDRAM
DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM,
but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as
opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory
bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.
