Main Exclusive Features

MSI's leading product Motherboard regarding AMD CPU family, with AM3+ socket and full compatibility with the next generation of Bulldozer processors, MSI 990FXA-GD65 along with bigger sister MSI 990FXA-GD80 offer a full range of advanced technologies that help the even more demanding user both in critical activities, which require stability and processing power, both in the practice of overclocking, offering a range of hardware benefits, such as use of military components from Class II with MIL-STD-810G certification, and software, such as OC Genie II technology. Listed below are the peculiarities of the MSI 990FXA-GD65:

003a

The OC Genie II technology makes the overclocking and the unlock of locked CPU Core an easy and fast experience. OC Genie II automates even the most advanced overclock features offering a performance boost of up to 248% with a simple click.

003b

The use of components of Military Class II with MIL-STD-810G Certification offers a perfect tern of quality, efficiency and stability as well as a longer life, to satisfy in situations of temperatures and voltages to limit even the most demanding overclockers.

003b-1

The Hi-C CAP are capacitors with up to 8 times longer life than standard component. This thanks to the use of special materials such as tantalum, often used on space shuttles or satellites, since it offers an incredibly high thermal conductivity at very high temperature.

003b-2

Icy Choke, for incredible stability at low temperatures. Compared to the ferrite and the shock that often is given to the components made of such materials at low temperatures, the materials made from elements such as tantalum, of military origin, provide a higher power and stable power supply, which in extreme overclocking sessions is of vital importance.

003b-3

Solid cap for a durability not less than 10 years. The MSI offers for its military class motherboards a quality at the highest level. This excludes the cases of the outbreak involving traditional capacitors.

004

The increasing use of mobile devices such as Smartphones, MP3 player or portable e-book and Console, have led consumers to be careful to the power-saving devices or having to load quickly the devices wherever you are. Well, the Super Charger MSI technology reviews the classical method of considering and use an USB port. Once connected the device to the predispose port with this feature, it will be fed and then recharged without the need to keep your PC switched on.

005

Compared with the previous USB 2.0 standard limited to a speed of 480Mbps, the new USB3.0 technology not only maintains compatibility with older devices, but raises the limit of 10 times bringing it to 5 Gbps. An example would be the transfer of a movie in Blu-Ray standard, that in particular would take less than a minute.

006

Another advantage in terms of connectivity for storage is the implementation of the ports with recent certification standard, the SATA 6Gb/s, which doubles the speed of compatible devices.

007a

Do not be fooled by other solutions with integrated audio on board. Sometimes you can not even find the driver. MSI's solution instead, offers audio of high quality with an incredible value of 109 dB SNR and a smaller loss at 24-bit/192kHz.

007b

Of course it is supported the surround for 7.1 channel for a sound experience without limits.

008

Winki 3 is a multilingual free software Linux-based that MSI has made available either at system boot providing a quick access (of only about 25sec) to a functional and pleasant interface to both surf the internet and both to read the email or to watch your own photos on the memory stick.

009

Compared with the common architecture of most motherboards, which are equipped with 2 BIOSes for safety, MSI M-Flash has only 1.But has the double advantage of allowing both to save/backup directly to USB memory stick, or just allow it to boot from a USB stick as if it was a second BIOS. This way you can try the new settings safely, without risking the failure on start of the motherboard, or loss of time performing CMOS reset/clear.

010

Thanks to the supplied Anti-ESD chip, the USB Safeguard technology protects the motherboard and the USB ports from short circuits without the need of a fuse, while allowing the state of standby and power protection.

011

The proprietary ATI CrossFire X technology provides maximum scalability to the system. Installation up to 4 AMD Radeon HD graphics cards (Or 4 GPUs in total) allows the player to keep his system longest, at the same time benefiting from a smoothness and a readiness for the duration of the play session. This board, having only two PCI-Express x16 slots, allow you to install 4 GPUs only with dual GPU cards like the HD 6990.

012

MSI Live Update 5 is a powerful tool for updating both the BIOS and system drivers directly from the MSI website, to expand the capabilities of both the PC/BIOS and the compatibility with software/games.

013

Feature similar to the previous MSI Live Update online, it helps to reduce the risk of update operations while reducing the time and also sessions dedicated to it. The update is done automatically through the web pages.

014

Similar to AMD's CrossFire X technology, SLI of Nvidia allows you to use multiple graphics cards (up to 4 GPUs total) scaling in performance and increasing the readiness of the system during all play sessions as long as the games/programs benefit from this technology.

015

With AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology MSI reduce the heat emitted by the processor when not in use, automatically reducing the consumption and especially the overall noise of the system due mainly to the fans. This will make the work/leisure sessions more enjoyable.

016

MSI 3TB+ Infinity allows not only to overcome the fateful limit of the partition sizes due to the BIOS, but also to make efficient use of large hard disks (over 2 TB). Compared to competitors, MSI 3TB+ Infinity is a leader in storage management technology by presenting a substantial lead in development for application both at present and in the future.

016b

Another very interesting utility that accompanies the MSI 990FXA-GD65/80 that you will find on the CD-ROM with other software/drivers is called Control Center. In the first screen you will see the specifications of the motherboard, the chipset and the version of bios installed. Surely you have noticed some incorrect entries, but we are confident that these early problems will be resolved with future updates.

016c

Continuing in the subsequent screens go to the System Information CPU section on which we do not notice any error, in fact the utility shows the real clock frequency and the multiplier down for the effect of Cool'n'Quiet function that, when not in use, thereby reduce the CPU frequency.

016e

Below, in the System Memory Information section, there are listed the specifications of the memory. Very precise is the reading of the information contained in the SPD chip, only missing of the serial number.

016f

Continuing to navigate the left menu, let's go to Basic Overclocking section where we can act in real time on some parameters that allow you to overclock the processor.

016g

Another possibility for the overclocking is to let calculate the most stable threshold automatically by the OC Genie Lite program, prior authorization by Bios.

016h

In photo the Green Basic section that shows with some mistakes here too, the main voltages and temperatures of the motherboard and the related fan speed.

016h

In Green Power Advanced Mainboard is possible to act on the current load, or the phases, to be made ​​available to the CPU if it so requires. It is also possible act on the fan speed.

016i

Also in this screen, you choose whether to keep active the LED system which indicates the current load absorbed by the CPU. Let us now turn to the next section where we list the technical specifications of MSI 990FXA-GD65 as published by the manufacturer, MSI.
