i'v got this mobo, msi ms-6577 v2.1, it's been made for hp so no options in bios to change speeds,
used modbin and it showed advanced options as normal but still not there, i'v been looking for an alternative bios for a similar msi board but no luck, only way iv found to overclock is with cpufsb, but because memory is running on 4:3 ratio it cant go very far without problems,
standard speed is 2000mhz, 20x multi, 100mhz fsb,133mhz mem bus, 4:3 divider,
tried spdtool and changing bios defaults to get ram to sit at 100mhz, only managed to relax timings,
anybody got any suggestions what to do with it? im considering a bios flash with 240 volts.
while im here my other main pc, msi ms-6570 has a couple hidden options in bios i'v found with modbin, extra voltage for ram, 2.8v,
and super stability mode, on by default and hidden, is it worthwhile unlocking these?
i would flash it to try but dont want to kill my pc, the other one i couldn't care less . .
