TechnoG: yeah... it's my fault. cause i'm not a gamer. and by the time i know that the game is not stressing, it was already the day before the event starts. i couldn't make any changes anymore other than changing the graphic card. initially we planned to showcase the MSI N480GTX Lightning. about the monitor, no idea actually. all i know it's an 27 inch Viewsonic loaned by Viewnet, the Official PC Reseller for the event. hehe..

awww. I would rather love see the GTX 480 Lightning in action instead 27 inch? looks more like a 21.5 incher

eh, you're one of MSI staff?

w00ts! that's what I need! finally GTX 580!

is this low yat??

Yup, this is LYN

referring to CELgames is it?

should have go there to watch it

It's really time to say goodbye to the traditional "Blue & White" Bios Screen. No doubt that the more-than-a-decade-technology has served us well and still going strong among users/overclockers, and honestly I still like it. Now with the new up-coming Intel Sandy Bridge Platform, we are going to witness a new era of BIOS with better interactive interface, the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI). Not only MSI, I believe other manufacturers are also providing EFI Bios for their P67 Chipset product line. EFI has been seen around for quite sometime in the server industry, but starting from 5th January 2011, it will be largely seen in our daily desktop. I'm not an expert in explaining the difference between BIOS vs EFI, wikipedia should be better than me. So just click the below link for detail information about both BIOS and EFI. However, i would like to share with the community on the EFI that will be seen in MSI P67/H67 Mainboard Lineup, namely MSI ClickBIOS. I'll share some of the key features we always play with. I deeply hope those who 'love' to lurk around in BIOS will be interested.

BIOS - Click Here!!
EFI - Click Here!!

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.

I was wondering if a V6GT/Ninja 3 can fit into Big Bang Fuzion?
there is the DrMos thingy that is surrounding the CPU socket, and since V6GT is pretty low, will it be hitting the DrMos thingy?

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.

Shouldn't be a problem for V6GT...

As for Ninja 3... maybe u can ask the thread starter for details

Since this is a MSI thread, i got some problem regarding my motherboard P55 GD65 motherboard.

I want to update my bios to the latest version, (from 1.9 to 1.b) Previous MSI update will able to let u update the bios without using any diskette. But it seems like the latest MSI software update does not allow me to update the bios , if so I will need to use diskette as boot up disk. Anyone know how to counter problem like this? Thanks.

wokay. Really appreciate your help.

And I plan to add in Corsair Dominator RAM + the fans, will it be clashing again?

thanks alot dude! now waiting to see if it fits Ninja 3.
Both of this, don't really know which one to get. But I'm leaning towards V6GT, the blue strip of light at the HSF will match my HSF perfectly.
