MSI KM4M-L Micro ATX Motherboard
 

 

 

The BIOS

 

The KM4M-L uses the Phoenix AwardBIOS that most people are used to seeing from MSI and other high performance boards.

These are some of the main screens that you will probably be working with. On the left is the main BIOS screen, and on the right is the Advanced BIOS Features menu.

Here are a few shots from the Frequency and Voltage control screens. Notice that the FSB is grayed out at the top of the list. DDR voltage and timing is adjustable to a limited extent.

This screen on the left was the real heartbreaker. On the overclockable versions of this board there is normally a third option in this screen that allows you to adjust the FSB. On the KM4M-L the only clock settings are jumpers on the motherboard, which allow you to select one of the stock FSB speeds – 100/133/166. This is also something to keep in mind when setting the board up to make sure that you do not end up underclocking your CPU.
