Hey guys,
I just bought the MS-7125 Ver. 2 board a week ago with a FX-55 and searched the web for information also without any luck. Here is some information that might help. I loaded Windows XP Home and found no OC options in the default bios so I downloaded MSI Live Update, which can be download from MSI's site. It found MS-7125 version 1.0D (5/22/2006) bios so I updated it using the Windows MSI live update program. It's safe as long as you close ALL programs before continuing. I then had all the OC functions in the bios including the Cell menu.
My OC results were very good. Using HTT 4X I was able to do (10x280mhz) FSB @ 2.80ghz. The memory according to cpuz reported around 234mhz. I'm using 2Gb OCZ Platinum PC3200 memory, which tends to be picky about motherboards but is running great in this one. The bios should allow all 939 CPU's including the X2's. Right now I'm running 2.80ghz (200x14) with performance memory timings and it is stable as a rock. Only a sligt increase on the CPU voltage, which is set to 1.425 volts. Idle temp is 36C and full load is 49C. I'm pretty impressed with this $40 motherboard! I have it set up with a evga 7950 GT 512mb video card and it screams in every game I own.
