MSI K7T266 PRO2 SOUND DRIVER DOWNLOAD

Introduction MSI were kind enough to courier me their latest, not-even-on-the-website, motherboard for review, the K7T Pro2. However, the little push rod to lever the card from the socket is flanked closely by a capacitor making it very hard to operate with your fingers, even for someone like me who has quite small hands. It's simple to attach your own fan, but it's always nice to see these things as standard. It's easier to visualise this using a diagram, so take a quick peek at the following VIA provided layouts of the chipset. As always though, it all depends on the applications that you run and whether they will be able to take advantage of the new speed increases. I've checked the manual's suggested Bios settings as well. Sandra Memory Benchmark 9 x Sandra Memory Bandwidth Benchmark 9 x So there we have them, the numbers most people will be looking for.

However after months of delay, Wound essentially allowed its competition to gain a foothold in the marketplace first.

Considering this, here's the formal spec for the chipset. SYS driver, BSOD's on shutdown and the k72t66 randomly seems to stop at any point during using the audio and doesn't come back to life until you reboot. Next up we have POV-Ray. MSI also had the foresight to stick down two clear pieces of plastic beneath each of the 2 center socket clips where you attach heatsinks.

I spent a 'fair' amount of time googling, found another forum and tried what solved the problem for another motherboard brand. There are a total of 6 USB 1.

So what can we draw from the following numbers? This is never really the ideal situation and definitely not the best for a chipset which does quite warm during testing. It's a decently complex scene and should stress CPU and main memory very well. At MHz, zound run takes 50 seconds.

SmartKey is also a good value addition to the K7T Pro2 package. Notice that SSE benchmarks are performed in this test. Otherwise, thumbs up to MSI. So how do we find the MSI as a whole? Next up we have the memory bandwidth benchmarks.

It's the little things all rolled into one that make the MSI stand out for me. The numbers in this benchmark fall right into suond with the Reference numbers provided with Sandra in this new version. While I think comparing temperatures, even across identical motherboards is a futile exercise, being able to measure CPU temperature as accurately as possible on the board in use is very important and the MSI can't hope to do this unfortunately. A bad layout for me can be the difference between getting and ignoring a new motherboard, regardless of what features or ssound it offers.

Okay, back to the zound The floppy connector is also grouped here which is where it should be to lessen the cable length required over a bottom edge placement. Under XP is fine. Analysing the layout I always like to take a look at the layout of the motherboards that pass through my system.

It also seems like the BIOS setup is critical.

If you are a heavy gamer, it's a nice upgrade. So how does the layout of the K7T Pro2 stack up? Board layout as we've discussed is fine. Perhaps this will help someone else down the road.

I'll be looking to expand the test suite over the coming weeks into a well rounded comprehensive test suite, something which previous Hexus reviews pfo2 possibly have lacked in the past. Thumbs up to MSI and if they can sort out the small issues in a later revision, they can't fail to succeed with this board.

There is no conventional thermistor in the socket to measure CPU temperature. Taking a look at the picture of the motherboard and starting at the top, we can see that the ATX connector is to the left of the CPU socket, right in the corner.
