The MSI 945GT has a lot of room for any socket 478/9 cooler. There shouldn't be any interference problem with psm-5000. I am using an old Zalman 7000 cu cooler which may even have more cooper than the psm-5000. I have running a T2250 CPU with stock 1.3v and I don't think I can have fanless setup. Wi...

I have two of this case (read my posts above). The first mobo, MSI 945-GT Speedster, is going to be my HTPC, has a completely incompatible layout. The CPU is located at the front-edge of the mobo. I have to build a CPU partition box using heavy cardboard. The CPU fan, Zalman 7000, is completely unde...

I download the version 7.14.10.1246 for Vista directly from Intel back in April. Never have any video problem. I guess it takes awhile for MSI to get their Vista version. MSI's version has a higher number 7.14.10.1277. just wanted to add that the new graphics driver works great - no more video probl...

Your display flickering may be caused by the pre 1.4 bios getting confused with graphic output. The bios can be found here http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=243 The reason you have trouble finding it is bacause MSI has two model numbers for the sam...

I updated to v1.4 bios right away because it fixes the graphic display confusion problem. I am running T2250, oc'ed to 165fsb =2.145 ghz. I am running 32bit Vista Ultimate, two TV tuners and on-board graphic. Everything runs fine. the CPU load max'ed out at 60% when running HD TV; 80% running both H...

My second In-Win BK623 (or In-win GLS300) case came. I replaced my Biostar 6100 (Opteron 144) mATX running in a large ATX case with this tiny case. Again, I have to build a HS partition box with cardboard and tapes. I am using a stock AMD heatpipe HS running at stock 1.45v and OC'ed to 2.5mhz (actua...

I have built a CPU partition box out of paper and scotch tapes. I used a 1" thick box about the same length and width as the DVD drive. I taped the box, after making the CPU HS opening, onto the metal optical drive frame from underneath. It looks really ugly but is functional. The idle temp went dow...

My brief experience with this case
I got the case a couple of days ago. First impression: the case is tiny. As expected, the CPU partition box does not fit neither my MSI 945GT nor my Aopen i945gtm-vhl. Both mobile mobo have the CPU located at the far front edge of the board. Moreover, the partition box is made for the Intel stock CP...

MSI board has problem reading the memory timing from my ram sticks too. Sometimes it reads 4,4,4,10, sometimes 5,5,5,12. I think MSI needs to update the bios. But I don't think that is going to happen since they have just update the bios to 1.4 and this mobo is not a main-stream big-seller. My ram a...

smilingcrow With my MSI 945GT, I still max out at 172-175fsb using Clockgen even if I set my 663 ram to 533mhz. If I replace my T2250 with T2300, the highest fsb I can get is only 180fsb. I think I am limited by the IGP's max speed. Also I think my mobo under-volt the CPU by a little too. In term HD...

It does not matter if I set the ram to 533 or 633 mhz, the fsb range in the Bios remains 133-165 mhz. We seem to be getting conflicting info with regard over-clocking the 533MHz FSB chips. humm.... I was looking into overclocking a bit more... I think I made a mistake.. the FSB frequency is determin...

nzimmers I had tried and failed to get the 5:4 memory divider to work. I think I have done something wrong. I too have DDR2 667 memory In the bios, DRAM Timing = Manual, 5,5,5,12, and System Memory Freq = 667. The fastest fsb I can can is 172fsb. Should I set the System Memory Freq to something lowe...

smilingcrow. You know I am kidding about the "shut your month" part, right? On the MSI 945GT, the highest fsn I can get is 175fsb using clockgen. I am using my trusty Zalman 7000 cu on the MSI. I could run it passively with temp 40-60c. Not too bad. Also, I may be wrong. I don't think the PCI bus is...
