Now the motherboard also comes with a Sounds Blaster Cinema solution. make no mistake though, the audio is arranged by a Realtek HD audio chip (RT ALC1150). On top of that you will install a software layer called Sounds Blaster SBX ProStudio which opens up some really sweet options.

This way MSI tries to provide a superior class-leading audio solution helped by the the Sound Blaster software X-Fi 3 suite. After installation you'll get the following features though the Sound Blaster Control panel. I already mentioned that cone powered up a trace in the motherboard will light up, indicating a separated audio circuitry for audio. 

A two-digit Debug LED is present as well. It shows the exact system status while booting (for easy troubleshooting) and should display the CPU temperature when running in the OS. In manual you'll find an overview of the status codes.

MSI is going all Rhinanna on my booty. Powered on it'll shine bright like a diamond. You can find LEDs underneath the motherboard. So once you have it installed in your PC, there's this HALO of light emanating from the motherboard. Very nice and very trendy these days as it's done by the majority of motherboard manufacturers.
