Hi all,
I want to buy an AMD Socket A MSI 6570E motherboard, so I downloaded the manual.
It has a “Live BIOS Update” feature that accesses the web, but the manual doesn’t say if it updates the BIOS while you are online. Does anyone know if the BIOS is updated so that you don’t have to use the boot floppy disk method?
There is also an optional USB bracket called D-Bracket that has four LEDs that is used to diagnose system faults. The manual doesn’t say how it works. Do you install software that allows you to use it for diagnostics?
There is also a feature called “Cooler XP” that makes the AMD Athlon processor run cooler. Again, the manual doesn’t say how this is accessed. Is it in the BIOS, or does it show in say the Windows Control Panel?
