Also known as:

  • MSI G31M3-LS V2
  • MSI MS-7529 VER:1.1
  • MSI G31M3 V2 VER:1.1
  • Casper unknown system board

Known issues:

  • Faulty or Leaking Electrolytic Capacitors

Some motherboards may contain faulty or leaking electrolytic capacitors, which can negatively impact system performance or stability. These capacitors may exhibit issues such as bulging, leaking, or even exploding, potentially damaging other components on the motherboard. Users should inspect their capacitors regularly and replace any that are faulty or leaking to avoid damage or system instability.

Notes:

  • Board is marked as MS-7529 VER:1.1 in BIOS and G31M3 V2 on PCB.

  • G31M3-L V2 and G31M3-LS V2 share PCB and BIOS, differences between both are unknown (although might possibly be the amount of audio jacks and availability of a TPM jumper OR variant of the LAN chip used).

  • Some variants have RS-OUT/CS-OUT/SS-OUT jacks and/or a TPM module installation jumper.

  • Some variants have Realtek RTL8111C LAN chip, while others have RTL8101E.

  • ONLY CPUs with a max of 95W TDP are supported!
