MSI Reminds You. Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the D.O.T Ranger first. Adjust CPU FSB Frequency This item allows you to select the CPU Front Side Bus clock frequency (in MHz). Select the number between [200]~[400] for needed frequency.

CPU Spread Spectrum This setting is used to enable or disable the CPU Spread Spectrum feature. When overclocking the CPU, always set it to [Disabled]. Setting options: [Center Spread], [Disabled]. 3-25
SATA Spread Spectrum This setting is used to enable or disable the SATA Spread Spectrum feature. Setting options: [Disabled], [Down Spread]. PCIE Spread Spectrum This setting is used to enable or disable the CPU Spread Spectrum feature. When overclocking the CPU, always set it to [Disabled]. Setting options: [Disabled], [Down Spread]. PCIE Clock The system board designer selects whether the PCIE clock is tightly synchronized with the CPU clock or is asynchronous. Setting options: [100MHz]~[145MHz]. SSE/ SSE2 Instructions This setting disables/enables the SSE/SSE2 Instructions. The Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) were introduced in the Pentium III processor. The SSE extensions consist of a new set of instructions and a new set of registers. These instructions and registers are designed to allow Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) computations to be made on single-precision floating-point numbers. The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) were introduced in the Pentium 4 and Intel Xeon processors. They consist of a new set of instructions that operate on the XXM and MXCSR registers and perform SIMD operations on double-precision floatingpoint values and on integer values.Several of these new SSE/SSE2 instructions also operate in the MMX registers. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled]. CoolnQuiet control This feature is especially designed for AMD Athlon processor, which provides a CPU temperature detecting function to prevent your CPUs from overheating due to the heavy working loading. Setting options: [Disabled], [Enabled].

Introduction to DigiCell

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup 4. Introduction to DigiCell
DigiCell, the most useful and powerful utility that MSI has spent much research and efforts to develop, helps users to monitor and configure all the integrated peripherals of the system, such as audio program, power management, MP3 files management and communication / 802.11g WLAN settings. Moreover, with this unique utility, you will be able to activate the MSI well-known features, Live Update and Core Center, which makes it easier to update the BIOS/drivers online, and to monitor the system hardware status (CPU/Fan temperature and speed) or to overclock the CPU/ memory. Once you have your DigiCell installed (locate the setup source file in the setup CD accompanying with your mainboard, path: Utility --> MSI Utility --> MSI DigiCell), it will have an icon in the system tray, a short cut icon on the desktop, and a short cut path in your Start-up menu. You may double-click on each icon to enable DigiCell.

4. From the Free Disk Selection page, select one of the disks from the list. Please note that there can be more than one disk to choose from.
5. Click Next. The Completing the NVIDIA Spare Disk Allocation page appears.
6. Click Finish. You have now assigned a dedicated free disk to a mirrored array.
Example of Dedicating a Free Disk in a RAID 1 or RAID 0+1 Array You can also assign a dedicated free disk to a RAID 1 or a RAID 0+1 array, using the same process. 1. Right-click either the free disk that you want to dedicate to an array, the array type, or the array drives as shown in the figure below. Then click Designate Spare to launch the Spare Disk Allocation Wizard.
2. Click Designate Spare and then follow the instructions in the Wizard. The figure below shows an example of a RAID 1 array that has one spare disk dedicated to it. Once a dedicated disk has been assigned to a particular array, it can be removed at any time. To remove the disk, right click on the dedicated disk and select the option to remove it.
Rebuilding a RAID Mirrored Array
Rebuilding is the process of recovering data from one hard drive to another. All data is copied from one hard drive to another and then the data is synchronized between the two hard drives. This only applies to RAID 1 array as well as a RAID 0+1 array. Rebuilding Instructions After creating a mirrored array, you can rebuild the array using the following steps: 1. Go to Windows and run the NVRAID Management utility. The figure below shows an example of a system with one mirrored array.
