This MSI ClickBIOS "sharing" should have done in video mode. Actually the Menu Tabs is interactive, they "jump" around when you are about to select it. But too bad, i'm kinda poor, no video cam. And sorry for the picture poor quality. As for EFI Bios, it takes time to mature i guess. As for now, i still prefer the traditional "Blue & White" BIOS. Maybe i'm just an orthodox guy.

hrmm... i have both the Big Bang Fuzion and Ninja 3. But my Big Bang Fuzion is attached to Grand Kama Cross while the Ninja 3 is used as my Benching Heatsink. if got time i'll help you to test it out.

i believe the P55 GD65 has a M-Flash function. using the M-Flash fuction, you download the bios file, copy it to your thumbdrive, then goto bios. Select M-flash in bios and select the Update Bios option. But remember to plug-in your thumbdrive before booting up to bios. hehe...

nope, the thumbdrive does not need to be formatted. you actually do no need to copy all bios file downloaded. just put the file name similar to something like A7582IMS.110 and you are good to go. if the bios is unable to detect the file, it maybe incompatible bios or you didn't plug in the thumbdrive before booting into bios.

i don't really use MSI Liveupdate as i prefer to update all of my driver direct through the vendor website. As for your statement there, iirc the Liveupdate5 will update some of the outdated driver. so maybe the driver you have install is outdated.

Taipei—MSI will be displaying its new generation of notebook creations from 6-9 January at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the USA. Its booth number 30559, will be located in Convention Center South Hall 3. Laptops to be shown will include machines from the G Series of gaming computers, F Series ultimate performance NBs, the C Series of stylish multimedia notebooks, the X-Slim Series which features ultra-thin, ultra-light laptops, Wind U netbooks, and WindPad tablets. Worth noting, MSI will be showing the GT680—the fastest notebook computer on the planet. It smashed speed records in PC MARK Vantage tests.

The fastest gaming notebook ever to be unveiled at CES 2011
Driven by a desire to “insist on the best,” MSI will be exhibiting a number of powerful G Series gaming notebooks at 2011 CES, including the top end GT680—the “fastest notebook on the planet.” When tested with PC MARK Vantage tools, it attained a speed of 18,162 points. It has the fastest operating system in the world, performing some three times faster than the average speed of high end gaming books currently on the market.

Eric Kuo, associate vice president for global sales, MSI Notebook, points out that the GT680 is the world’s most powerful laptop. It features Intel’s latest four core CPU, nVidia GeForce’s newest generation high end discrete graphics card, and four DDR3 memory slots expandable to 16GB of memory. It also supports accelerated dual hard disk architecture, which not only doubles storage capacity, but also kicks up read-write speed by approximately 70%.

Kuo added that another reason that the GT680 is the fastest NB in the world is the fact that it uses MSI’s own TDE+ (Turbo Drive Engine+ technology) which allows both the CPU and GPU to turbo simultaneously. Just one touch of the luminescent Turbo hot key located above the keyboard throttles up performance, making the MSI GT680 the king of gaming books.



New platforms in MSI F, C, U, X Series to debut at CES
In addition to the G Series, MSI will be showing the F Series of ultimate performance notebooks and C Series of classic multimedia notebooks at CES. The F Series, which boasts Intel latest generation processing platform, offers ultimate performance and highly responsive systems software. What’s more, the F Series NBs to be shown at CES are all equipped with THX TruStudio Pro smart wrap around sound which up until now was only available in cinemas, providing faithful sound regardless of music type or frequency band. In addition to Intel’s high performance CPUs, the all new MSI C laptop series comes equipped with SRS PC Sound for a rich, realistic cinematic experience.

In the area of light, easy-to-carry computers, MSI will be unveiling the U270 and U160DX from the U Series and the X370 from the X-Slim Series. The U160DX comes with the Intel Atom N550 duo core processor, while the U270 and X370 will sport AMD’s new generation processing platform, greatly enhancing system computing performance for those who want power in a small package. In addition, in an era in which multimedia devices, such as mobile phones, tablet notebooks, and portable music players, are becoming increasingly common, all MSI products being displayed at CES 2011 will come equipped with MSI’s exclusive i-Charger technology, which pumps more current through USB ports to greatly enhance recharge efficiency. Furthermore, MSI NBs with USB 3.0 can recharge as much as three times faster, giving your multimedia devices less down time.

New generation MSI WindPads to make appearance at CES
At next year’s CES, MSI will be showing off its WindPads, its newest generation tablets with Win-Tel and Android platforms. These two tablets come equipped with a G-Sensor gravity detecting device, an ALS light sensor, and Wi-Fi. These two chic machines, which will be making their debuts at CES 2011, are testimony to MSI’s industry-leading capabilities in terms of innovative R&D and stylish design.

MSI releases N450GTS-M2D1GD5 with single slot thermal design to perfectly work with smaller mainboards and slim cases. Although it’s a single slot thermal design, the thermal is designed with Copper base for the best heat transmission. It should be one of the best solution for HTPC lovers.

Today i received a very special graphic card. After such a long time doing "amateur" reviews, this is the first time i received an entry-level graphic card for review. MSI Malaysia was kind enough to send me the MSI N430GT 1GB DDR3 DirectX 11 graphic card. After opening the box, only i realize the reason i got this card for review. The design of the heatsink. Honestly i love it. It's really CUTE! As usual, let the picture do the talking.

As i do not have a similar grade graphic card with me, i couldn't do any direct comparison with a N430 Low Profile graphic card. Or similar generation graphic card to better gauge the effectiveness of the heatsink design. And from my point of view, people who purchase entry-level graphic card do not really search for reviews on the temperature management of different brands. Therefore i just did a 3DMark 11 test using MSI Afterburner to for testing. Let's see how it fairs. Do take note that the testbed is set to default and no adjustment of fan speed done through MSI Afterburner.

The nature of NVIDIA Fermi GF108 for entry-level graphic card is for sure not hot. Considering the fact that the power consumption is only around 25W. So in this case honestly a low profile should be able to handle a NVIDIA 430GT no problem. However, i would definitely feel more confident switching on my HTPC with a grapic card equipped with heatsink + fan. And most importantly, THE DESIGN TOTALLY KILLS ME! IT's REALLY CUTE. The downside is that the MSI N430GT consume 2 PCIE slots. Lastly and most importantly, I won't return this card to MSI Malaysia. It's too CUTE to be let go.
