No there is not. I just did a little research on it and they left that option out to lower the price of the mobo.

Sounds just like MSI, anything to make a quick buck and jip the potential buyer. Oh by the way, I found out why my MSI Board went out, Despite the chipset cooling, when you overclocking you processor, you probably should stick a fan over the chipset heatsink to throw more cool air over it. Obviously they had a few bad design ideas.

Well I have a MSI MS-6163 and it kickass. It has the heat sensor right next to the CPU. 6 PCI 1 ISA 1 APG although I should have gone with a chipset that supported AGP 4x. Anyone know how much ram intel440BX chipset can it handle. Right now I have 384 and was thinking of getting 2x256pc100 Dimms.

My old Gigabyte GA-6BXE would support, well, a gigabyte. Coincidence? Nah...
