Looking for Info on MSI G31M3-F

I'm looking for anyone who's using a G31M3-F.  It seems like a great budget board for someone who wants to reused DDR2 mem and a Pent. D processor, but there's virtually no info on it.  Is it good for OC?  How long has it been out?  I can only find 4 reviews from newegg.  I don't do a lot of gaming but do place WoW from time to time.  The X3100 should handle that just fine.
The one question I have is that I've heard that if you ever plan to put a descrete video card into a Mobo, you should never get one with an IGP.  Is there any truth to that?

What kind of info are you looking for?  For board specifications and processor & memory support information you can look at the product site(s):
G31M3-F
--> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1470
G31M3-F (FSB 1600)
--> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1590
G31M3-F V2 (3 Audio Ports)
--> http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1573
G31M3-F V2 (6 Audio Ports)
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1574
Note that not all Pentium D models are supported on all G31M3-F boards and that you will need DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 modules.  DDR2-533 (and lower) modules are not supported.

How long has it been out?
Not sure, first or second quarter of 2008 if I am not mistaken.  The earliest official BIOS Releases are from March 2008.

The mainboard should work fine if you add a stand-alone graphics card, if that is your question.  Check the test reports that can be accessed via the product site(s) for tested video cards.

To a certain extent, maybe, but as it is a budget board with a budget board BIOS, don't expect miracles.

  • Looking for info on the msi 970 gaming .

    Looking at the msi gaming 970 as a GPU. I know about the ram issue. Looking for info about the card in general (persons perspective ). Like how does it overclock, cooling, bios updates, warranty and so on.
    My specs
    4790k-4.0
    gigabyte z97 black edition MB
    8gb gskill
    WD valaciraptor HD
    Thanks.

    Cooling: It has very good cooler (better than 780Ti which I own) so surely low temps (<70C with fans 35%~ )
    OC: It's a gamble. One can overclock better than the other
    Warranty: As far as I know, 1 year with seller and further 1 year directly with MSI
    BIOS updates: it's new card so rarely any updates right now, but there are some if something is being fixed/improved.
    Should work fine in your system, no bottleneck with i7 4790
    Just depends if you look at reference design or Gaming series.

  • Installation of Blackberry Desktop Software fails: looking for Blackberry 8310.msi file

    I cannot successfully install and use any version of the Blackberry Desktop software.  The problem started when I tried to install the desktop software on my new computer from a file I downloaded and stored on an external hard drive that had been attached to my old computer.  The install/uninstall programs lists Blackberry desktop 4.2.2.  It appeared to install correctly, but when I try to use it,  I get a message saying the program is trying to use a network resource that is not available, and looks in a temp directory for this "Blackberry 8310.msi" file.  There is also a program listed as "Blackberry v4.2.2 for the 8310 series wireless handheld"  When I try to uninstall it, it looks for that same .msi file.
    I'd like to be able to sync my calendar with my phone. 
    Does anyone know what I should do?  I followed the clean uninstall directions, and that didn't make a difference.
    Thanks.

    Xandrex, I am having the same problem (along with a few others).  I hate to sound like a novice, but how do I decompress into a folder other than temp?  Whether installing from the website, or saving to my desktop and then installing, it unzips without giving me a choice of where to put the files.
    Hello,
    I don't have the install at home so my answer will be approximate. when you get the .exe file, it is in fact a zip file with a small launcher that knows it has to unzip the stuff in your temp file.
    What you need is a decompression tool to decompress without that launcher. You can install 7Zip that is quite good for those things.
    You can also try WinZIP or winRAR or winACE but those are not free-of-charge.
     http://www.7-zip.org/
    Once you have installed this tool, just open 7Zip and browse to the .exe file. click on it, there should be a button "Extract". Choose a folder (somewhere on your Desktop for example) and wait for the decompression to finish.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Failing to Reinstall iTunes - looking for file "iTunes.msi"  ??

    Hi,
    A while ago my laptop (Windows XP) overheated and switched off while I was trying to update my iTunes. Since then I haven't been able to reinstall it because it says there is still some of the old one left, and it asks for the file "iTunes.msi", which I eventually found but it failed and asked me to "Verify its existence".
    So today I completely deleted all files to do with iTunes, tried to install the new iTunes and it comes up with this again! I went on the support page but couldn't find what I was looking for.
    Please help me!

    Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • HT1339 I was looking for info on restoring an iPod Touch 4th Gen. But iTunes presents the same Restore button, which when pressed, offers to update, not restore, to iOS 6.0.1. Why?

    I found this article when searching for info on restoring (to factory conditions) an iPod Touch 4th Generation. Now I thought this shipped with iOS 5.x (x unknown). But as mentioned too briefly in the header, when I click 'Restore' in iTunes, it offers not to restore, but to update. That is not what I want. I need to use this iPod Touch with Xcode 4.2 under Snow Leopard.
    So the question is: what is really going on here and why? Is it really true that 4th G iPod Touches ship with 6.0.1 instead of 5.x? If not, how can I get it to really go back to the original? Why is iTunes failing to offer a restore when I press 'Restore'? If I guessed wrong about which of my several machines running iTunes (some under Windows7, one under Snow Leopard)I used when I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1, would that explain iTune's failure to offer a true Restore?

    Restore will not replace an old iOS level. It will update the iOS level to the latest level. If you have to restore youre iPod that is what will happen. The iOS is not a part of a backup.

    Kiaser,
    I thought that I had in the previous post, but here is some more information on it:
    The card is a Li've! 5. (referred to as the Li've! Player 5. in some places).
    Here is a page that links to all the information about the card you should need:
    http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...p?l=2&sid=5805
    This should include information and troubleshooting for the card.

    Looking to learn on what I should and should not try to do with portals. What

    Thanks, Sameer. I am a little past that point. I have already looked at much

    Now I'm looking for portal UI guidance and recommendation. Something along the

  • Looking for info on "test wlan dot1x radius" command

    Is there a way to perform RADIUS connectivity and optionally basic auth testing, without a client?
    I see the "test wlan dot1x radius" command in the CLI which looks promising, but I can't find any info on it. 
    The "test ..." commands aren't in the Command Reference (?!)
    Can anyone provide any info on how the above command works (if at all)
    Thanks in advance

    For testing radius, I use NTRadPing. Might be a better option for you.

    Alright, so. I bought this phone off of eBay and it was originally with Rogers, I believe. The seller said it was unlocked and after I contacted them saying that it had Rogers information in it they paid for the unlock code so I could go with Telus, I never set anything up with Rogers. Anyways, the phone started malfunctioning around 2 months ago just been too busy to do anything about it. Malfunctioning as in.. Slow battery recharge with the original cable to the computer or to the wall connector. Also, the accelerometer appears to be broken as it no longer goes to landscape mode on any app or in the hub, youtube, etc. I've made sure the lock is not on, I've done multiple battery pulls, I've done multiple wipes of the device and started from fresh around 3 times. Okay, so now. I just recontacted the seller and they said to go to Telus but Telus doesn't have any information (warranty) on their system on the phone since it wasn't orignally bought from them, so they said to contact the original seller again and they're going to give me the original purchase info and all that paraphernalia. I was wondering, how will I go forth with a warranty from BlackBerry? If I can't go through my phone provider :s. Anyways, hopefully I explained that well enough. Thank you for your help! Also, if I'm missing something with the accelerometer please let me know! I miss youtube

    Explained well enough, but unfortunately you purchased a used device, not from an authorized seller, meaning there is very likely no warranty.
    All your description sounds like software faults. I'd wipe again and reload the OS.

  • Looking for info on Infiniband compatibility

    Hello,
    Posting in this forum because the Networking forum seems dead.
    I've searched high and low, and I can't seem to determine whether or not the newer Mellanox HCA's such as the ConnectX-3 are compatible with Solaris. Specifically, I'm looking to integrate with Comstar and export zpool-based SRP targets. Not concerned with IP use at all, really.
    I have read that the Hermon driver supports the ConnectX-2, but can't confirm it works with ConnectX-3.
    Mellanox and Oracle support aren't giving me much info... Mellanox said Oracle is responsible for the drivers, Oracle sales/support sent me here since I don't currently have a support contract.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Funny this question just came up internally and the response was to check with Mellanox on which cards work with Solaris.
    I checked the Mellanox OS/support page here and Solaris 11 is not even listed:
    Mellanox Technologies
    I would ask them to update this page for current Solaris 11 releases.
    Not a great response. I hope someone in the community can comment.
    Thanks, Cindy
    Message was edited by: cindys
    I will find a Mellanox contact through the Solaris ISV team to see if we can get them to update their support page with current Solaris support info and to include the Connectx 3 card.
