Problems with the MSI Pro2A. MSI might recall them back

[Crazyhorse1]

The only problems i encountered are with overclocking.

With normal use of the board i can't complain because it just the best Socket A board available!

I had the exact problem, so there IS a problem with some of the boards. See my thread Here 2 Loctite unlocked 800 T-Birds that run at the proper multiplier increments on a KT7, not multiplier overclocking properly on certain Pro2A's. Set it at 900, it runs at 500MHz, set at 950 boots and runs at 600MHz..etc, Read my thread for more info. There are others with the same problem.

There is no official MSI BIOS flash that will fix this problem yet that I am aware of, since I have tried them all. I just sent the board back. It did run well at the default 800, but the board still lacks BIOS options, and my KT7 performed much better when set at 800MHz compared to the Pro2A at 800MHz.

Just read today's review of the Pro2A at HARDOCP. Looks like they have the same problem:


Reason #2: Multiplier

I've got two issues with the multiplier. The first one being that I was unable to get any multiplier above 8.5 to operate correctly. Now, I'm not putting much into this issue, as I've never seen anyone else with the same problem, and I'm relatively sure it's an issue unique to my specific test board. The other multiplier issue I have is the fact that the lowest multiplier offered is the defualt multiplier. I suppose it's not a biggie. But you know what? I want full adjustment capability. I don't want to be limited. It's all about me, baby. And I want it all.
