I have two of the PA248Qs and they look fantastic.. glad I didn't go with it's little brother :/
Possible you have a bad unit considering how noticeable the backlight bleeding is?
I originally put in an ATI card and I could not "see" the BIOS... Once I put in a GTX480 everything worked fine... I suspect not all video cards are playing nicely with the UEFI.
Stable at 4.7ghz and 1.35vcore.. I need more vcore to go higher.. my temps are good under load.. so there's some headroom. I think a BIOS update will hopefully allow for more VCORE.. I never saw these MSI boards as "ghetto".. just more simplistic in terms of fine tuning. It seems you...
Also not sure why MSI pulled the 1.7 down.. appears to be working a lot better for me.. Although I do notice that CPU temps are reporting wrong in the UEFI bios.. but reporting fine in Windows with HWMonitor.
Yes all BIOS files appear to be the same for CXX boards. It should be safe to flash them. It was even "safe enough" for me to flash a GD56 board UEFI as well.. system still posted fine aside from Win7 having to redetect ALL my hardware.. but it's fine.
Lomac,
Question for you.. I can't get my Intel MEI driver to install so I can use the MSI Overclock Control Center program.. I always get the error message "You need Intel MEI to overclock!"
Are you having this issue?
Secondly, are we dealing with false advertising here.. our boards...
Well i'm here to report I did something really crazy and wild and not for the feint of heart...
I came across the European MSI forum where they were hosting BETA bioses for the P67A-GD55/56,etc. but nothing for our C43s... well, I figured things couldn't be much different between the UEFI...
I also have a P67A-C43 and my VCORE won't change either... I've been searching high and low all over the internet and finally came across this thread.. It's a relief in a way that i'm not the only person having this issue.
What I have noticed, is that as long as you keep your multiplier at 34...
Man, I feel horrible for you people who can't find any more MVA 24s anymore.. There's still a whole slew of them in Jacksonville in the local Office Maxes (old boxes with 6ms). Mine are still running PERFECT and I absolutely love them.
If anybody wants one or two, I honestly wouldn't...
Loving mine so far.. The right screen has more red than my left.. both are *VA for sure and made in the same month (2007.11 on the back of both panels). I'm sure I just need to get a colormeter/lightmeter to make them match perfectly. Even then, they look very close and amazing!
I want to remove the lettering/printed branding on my LCD bezel.. I want to do this to provide a cleaner overall look of my dual screen LCDs. I made the mistake of trying fingernail polish remover and while it began to smear the printed lettering off the bezel, it reacted to the black plastic...
Got my 2nd Soyo setup last night and to my dismay it has 1 stuck pixel (on blue).. Ran a color flashing video on the area over night and it didn't fix it. Also tried the rubbing trick and nothing.. Oh well, it's so hardly noticeable i'm not even going to worry about it. More importantly...
