MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard

Additional Features

The MSI P67A-GD65 has several other smaller features. It has two BIOS chips (see Figure 6), so in case the main BIOS gets corrupted by a bad BIOS upgrade or a virus, you can easily restore the contents of the ROM chip and prevent your motherboard from becoming “dead.”

The motherboard also has on-board power and reset buttons, plus an overclocking button called “OC Genie II.” By pressing this button the motherboard will automatically overclock your system, and you won’t need to go through any option inside the motherboard setup program.

If you are into overclocking, this motherboard comes with tests points where you can install a multimeter to manually monitor the chipset, memory and CPU voltages.
