[Thread Ufficiale] MSI X48C Platinum

[xbrian88]

Features

• Equip with 2 or more PCIe x16 slots, ATI CrossFire Ready.
• The ultimate multi-GPU performance gaming platform.
• Provides 2.7x faster performance than single graphic card solution.

• With 4-phase PWM IC, dual channel PWM design and Hi-c CAP, which lead to better power converting, reducing noise and expand the lifespan and stability.
• Hi-c CAP can bring 100x faster electrical conductivity than solid capacitor and less power loss. PWM brings more power efficiency, thus lower the real power spend.

• Functions designed with button to be easy use.
• Help power-users tweaking process in-chasis enviornment
• Onboard SATA ports are stacked on the mainboard to avoid mechanical issue with giant graphic cards like 8800 Ultra.

• Key components status hardware monitor.
• Monitor the Dual Core CPU each unit status.
• Optimize System status define.
• Auto speed up with system loading change.


The MSI Live Update online is designed to automatically download and update the BIOS and driver when there’s a new version online. It helps reduce the risk of getting the wrong file and minimize the trouble of searching the files from MSI website.

Live Update 3 is a single utility software that automatically checks BIOS, driver and utility updates and installs for you , which can save your time for searching and lower the risk while updating.
