Software

While the driver CDs included the drivers for the motherboard, the most interesting piece of software was the MSI Control Center. It serves as a place where you can check some information about your setup or tweak it while in Windows.

On the systems informations tab in the software, you can find some information about your setup... Surprising...

Now to move onto some more interesting stuff, we'll check what we'll find from the Overclocking-tab. Sure enough we are greeted by just about all of the settings, that are needed to overclock and tweak the setup from windows. You won't be able to change the CPU-ratio from here, nor the memory-timings, but just about every imaginable voltage setting and frequency can be changed. It was actually a nice tool when trying to find the limits for the motherboard and CPUs.

When the overclocking tab was all about tweaking the frequencies and voltages, the Green Power tab is all about saving a few watts. Here you can see some figures on Power saving and how many phases are currently being used etc. In the advanced tab, you can check out the temperatures of the DrMOS chips (which curiously sat at 70° C, no matter what the system was doing) and how the Green power system actually informs us what's it doing.
