About MSI 865PE-NEO2 LS

[catcatking]

I know that MSI 865PE-NEO2 FIS2R supports Dynamic Overclocking Technology (D.O.T) which is a trademarked technology by MSI.
But is MSI 865PE-NEO2 LS also support this feature?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I own the Neo2-LS and can assure you that it does not support DOT. When i first bought this board i was a little disspointed, if only b/c i wanted every feature available. However, i have since changed my mind and realize it is better not to have DOT as this board allows me to OC the FSB in the bios whenever is wish. It is very simple and easy to use, and it is entirely under my control. As opposed to the DOT feature which negates user control. Aside from missing out on the RAID array available on the FISR2 version this board is definetly a better price/performance choice.

Even if you have the DOT feature available, you do not have to use it. You can still overclock the board full-time, if you wish. As I have stated many times before, DOT simply allows you to OC the board <i>only</i> when OC'ing would be beneficial. Hence "<i>Dynamic</i> Overclocking Technology</i>". Just because its there does not mean you have to use it.

MSI has stated that for now, DOT will only be available in the Neo 2 FIS2R. However they may make it available in the future to other models, as a BIOS update.

I'd prefer dynamic UNDERCLOCKING for best performance and power conservation! Imagine if you were given two CPU tables with two core voltage selections and two bus speeds in BIOS. The high setting would allow you to set the FSB and bus speed as high as you need for best performance, and the low setting would allow you to set the core voltage LOWER than stock, allong with the bus speed. Imagine a P4 2.4C that can run at 1600MHz/133MHz bus/1.15v when under low load, and at 3.0GHz/250MHz bus/1.70v when under full load!

Not a bad idea Crashman. Laptops run at underclocked speeds when on low battery power, to conserve energy. I don't see why the same benefit could not be had by a desktop system. Would result in lower temps and less energy usage when the system is idle, without having to put it in standby.

Not just at idle, but also while doing light task like surfing the web. Right now I have a movie encoding, taking up 100% available CPU cycles. And the web surfing...has a slightly higher priority, reclaiming the cycles it needs. So in such a situation my CPU would be running at the highest speed. And when my movie is done, my CPU usage would drop to maybe 15%, so my CPU could go into power saving mode.

Now if we could just get someone to develope a standard LAPTOP platform and put all these stupid small form factor PC platforms behind us...
