Nahimic 3 Nahimic 3 is designed to offer the best audio experience it contains audio effects, microphone effects and Sound Tracker. Installation and Update Nahimic 3 is included in the audio driver. If you need to install it or update it, please use the Driver Disc with your motherboard or download the driver from MSI’s official website. Audio Tab From this tab, you can access all of Nahimic 3’s audio effects, audio profiles and settings.
Voices - it boosts (or removes) the speech in movies, video games and incoming communication from -12 to +12 dB. Bass - increases (or decreases) the energy in low frequencies from -12 to +12 dB. Treble - increases (or decreases) the energy in high frequencies from -12 to +12 dB. y Reset Button - restores the current profile to its default values. y Try Button - launches an audio sample that allows to test audio settings.
Sound Tracker Tab The Sound Tracker is an FPS oriented feature that provides a visual indication localizing the sources of the sounds while in a game. These are represented by dynamic segments pointing the direction of the sounds: the more opaque they are, the stronger the sounds are. Thanks to this feature, players are able to pick up an approaching threat more definitively and easily, thereby being even more dynamic. The Sound Tracker captures the 5.1 and 7.
AMD RAID Configuration The following are the RAID levels supported by RAIDXpert2. RAID 0 (Striping) breaks the data into blocks which are written to separate hard drives. Spreading the hard drive I/O load across independent channels greatly improves I/O performance. RAID 1 (Mirroring) provides data redundancy by mirroring data between the hard drives and provides enhanced read performance.
Initializing Disks New disks and legacy disks must be initialized before they can be used to create an AMD-RAID array. Initialization writes AMD-RAID configuration information (metadata) to a disk. Important y If a disk is part of an AMD-RAID array, the disk cannot be selected for initialization. To initial the disk anyway, delete the AMD-RAID array. Data on the disk is deleted during initialization so ensure the correct disks are chosen to initialize. y A legacy disk can contain valid data.
Creating Arrays Arrays can be created after the disks are initialized. Important y For redundant arrays, the Create process is not started until after the operating system and AMD-RAID OS drivers have been installed and the system has booted to the operating system.
