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...

But to do that, the thumbdrive must be formatted right? I have tried to put the bios setup file in it, and the bios is unable to detect the file in the thumbdrive :S

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.

Thanks for the info, i just realized that the exe file that i download from msi website does not work for m-flash. I download another version which is not the executable file and i'm able to flash the bios. Thanks again for your help.

One thing though, do you face any problem regarding the MSI liveupdate version 5? cause verytime i found out that when I tried to download and install the motherboard drivers, and rescan the entire system, the liveupdate will still show me that particular driver which i have installed already. :S

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 As for your statement there, iirc the Liveupdate5 will update some of the outdated driver. so maybe the driver you have install is outdated.

Oic. Thanks for the advice and guidance Really appreciate it.

Add me.

mr sanko,i'm using the msi R5870 lightning 2 on my current rig..upgrade from past fx5200..

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 Malaysia Online OverClocking Challenge 2011 - Super Pi 1M
Dear OverClocking Addicts here in Malaysia. We, MSI Malaysia is glad to present you our first Official OverClocking Challenge. All along we only supported a few OC Events organized by the community itself. And the respond has been great. So now we decided to organize one ourselves to test our organizing ability and also to gain more knowledge about the OverClocking Market locally. Straight to the point, we would really love to lend our hand to the Malaysia OverClocking Community in any way possible. So after 2 days of discussion and a little consultation from members who organized such OverClocking Challenge before, MSI Malaysia Online OverClocking Challenge 2011 - Super Pi 1M is now ONLINE. Therefore, with only 2 days of planning, the prizes may not be as amazing as expected but if the respond is encouraging, this will be an on-going project with better prizes. It may turn to MSI Monthly OverClocking Challenge 2011.

Some photos of my new MSI Nvidia Geforce GTX580:







The stock cooling is surprisingly good. Hard to decide whether I should mod it though.

A happy gtx580 owner spotted. If u planned to OC it to 1000mhz, 3rd party cooler is way to go.

Thanks, probably overclock a bit when I managed to get either Zalman or Artic Cooling GPU cooler for this.

More interested in overclocking processor since it's almost 2 years old.
