    MSI P45 Diamond with 16GB DDR2

    I have recently purchased the second hand P45 Diamond with the expectation to make use of the ram at low cost but now I am having a big problem with that. Each of the given description for the motherboard affirm that it just supports up to 8gb of DDR3, although the P45 Platinum is having support 16GB of DDR2. The chipset is supposed to grip 16GB, because it does within Asus P5Q3 Deluxe for instance. Can BIOS upgrade will be able to increase the memory capabilities for this motherboard. Other than these also tell me some other useful things about this that you know and can share with us.

    To get the best answer for this, you need to contact to the MSI support and you will get the exact answer from them. Other than this, as far as I know that this motherboard is just having the support for the 8GB and not the 16GB. You can do any BIOS update but that is not going to change that to 16 GB. This is simply impossible and it will not be able to increase the limit. You must have read earlier than actually purchasing this old motherboard to make sure. If you needed the 16 GB support then you must get the model which is having the support for this by default and do not need any further modification.

    MSI P45 Diamond is a plate, then, that the P45 northbridge is Intel, and is integrated into a well-mounted plate, good materials, colorful and with many possibilities. With an unbeatable package, the P45 Diamond is an interesting choice for demanding users. Already in the box, and shiny silver tones, allows us to open the lid and see the contents briefly if you need to remove the contents of the box. The presentation really stands out. The box is a little thick and heavy, so we can guess that we will find many interesting things inside, so the bundle is large, which is always welcome, as they usually do not give us too much with motherboards. From then, the boards promises and check its performance to conclude whether it is a good choice when it comes to change the order. All those who are thinking about it, stay tuned for results, and that information can be useful to you pour today. First of all, the list of what we find inside the box.

    This will be just waste to try to increase the support for this As I have already tried that but it was not helpful. I did search on google and have talked to the MSI support but that was just useless. So my suggestion to you is to forget that hope and be happy with what you are having.

    The motherboard is the element on which all other components will be added. Some items relate to the motherboard with cables, other components are integrated directly on the motherboard where the connectors are provided. It also has some integrated components. It explains everything.

    This motherboard is equipped with all the functions that we have already described the P45D3 Platinum and more. The board has not, however, the Circu-Pipe 2 design, but one liquid cooling solution (Xpress Cool). A small utility program called Green Power comes to train to observe the actual power consumption of the system and all components on the power supply connector that means that the efficiency of the power supply is excluded here. They gave us a beta-test model sent, with the final version should be packaged a little nicer.

    The P45 Diamond is equipped with a sophisticated audio solution based on a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme features, created by the on the back for the large number of connections could be a bit of space. With this end is also the equipment for a liquid cooling solution - except of course the pump.
