Voltage setting

This might not be the correct place to apply this question but it does really have to do with the Voltage setting in my board's BIOS. I have a Nvidia Geforce4 ti4200 128mb ddr agp card. I have my settings set to auto in my bios. I was reading the manual and it says that you can improve gfx card performance by changing the settings. So I was wondering, if there was a good setting to put it at? I don't know about this one, just trying to see what all can help my pc go its fastest that it can w/o corruption. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the reply, now, i am also curious, b/c i really don't know where to ask this, i'm trying to get the optimal performance over all hardware devices k? Now, i have a nec multisync fe700 17" monitor. I have noticed that under the advanced settings for the display, under my vcard settings, there is an option to change the timing mode for my monitor. it has auto detect and then some other settings. I was wondering, should i change it or just leave as is. I mean it is great now, but wondered if I could get better. I have gone over the manual for the monitor already, nothing noticed for this. I have also searched as well and nothing found except sellers. So I hope that i could get a better answer here, thanks!

hi,
AMD has the datasheets for Athlon Model 6, 8, 10 available publicly from amd.com. You can download and inside should have the maximum voltage stated.

Z68A-G43 core voltage setting?

Hey everyone, I'm new to the boards and have just one question: Where is the optional to manually set the core voltage on this motherboard? I submitted a ticket asking the same, and support said I'd find it in the OC tab of the newest BIOS (4.1), but I'm still unable to locate it after updating it. Either it's not there, or I'm somehow missing it.
Any help would be much appreciated, and feel free to chastise me if the option is right in front of my face
As it stands my 2500k is at 4.0ghz but cpuz shows the volts at 1.336

After looking in the downloadable pdf manual, there is no adjustment available for the CPU voltage. It is not an available feature on your series of mainboard that I can see. To confirm this, you might contact MSI Tech Support here; http://support.msi.com

Vcore Voltage setting

Hello everyone. I recently had a failed overclocking. I set the BIOS setting according to another user on another
forum with similar setup. Only thing is I didn't set the Vcore voltage on my board as it is greyed out not letting me
make adjustments. Why is that. other users are adjusting theirs some kind of way. I have the X58 Platinum
which was brand new when I built the PC. 3 OCZ 2gb three channel memory dimms,Vista 64 bit, Intel i7 920.
Anybody care to share a guide to overclocking this board successfully. Tryin to see at least 3.67 or 3.99Ghz.
Well 3.67 for now. Also guys watch those Radeon 4870 graphic boards. Seems that the double start up issues
I was having after I built my computer was due to a defective graphics card. Just so happens when I went
to pick my PC back up from doing a diagnostic at Microcenter another customer in line had the exact graphic
board and his did not work for him either. Both versions were from Diamond.

Z68A-G43 No Core Voltage setting?

Hi all
Well my mobo was crashing all the time with my Q6600 @ 3.4ghz so I went ahead and got a Z68A-G43, i5 2500k and 8gb of 1600mhz G-Skill Ripjawx ram.
I've noticed though....the BIOS has no setting to change core voltage, neither does MSI Control Centre or Click Bios in Windows. So...does this board have no setting for to change it I ask? I mean it may be low down in the range but £75 is a bit tall for budget board is it not? I've got a rock solid 4.5ghz overclock..I can't boot into Windows with 4.6ghz but if I use control centre I can get it solid in Windows at 4.6ghz @ an auto voltage of 1.386v (I mean I've literally thrown everything at it and its not choked).
It would be nice to try and push for 4.7ghz if I could just give it a bit of Vcore myself! Cheers

A solid OC of 4,5GHz on the budget Z68 offering ? Mere mortals would be over the moon to boast with such an OC, what is it, 30% ? It's always that tiny bit extra we all want, and when we have it, sometimes we don't know what to do with it.
Most of us run our boards around that OC to maintain the full power saving feature. Sandy Bridge has this unwanted side effect, whenever you manually set the VCore, it will remain there, no matter what, even in idle.
But you are welcome to check with MSI technical if it's even possible to introduce this via a BIOS change in the future. I doubt it. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Believe me, the 2500K above 4,6GHz generates mostly heat and the gain in performance becomes insignificant.

Afterburner Forgets Voltage Setting After Sleep or Hibernation

Hey, I hope someone can help me.
I have a GTX580 Lightning and have an overclock set as follows;
Core Voltage +70
Mem Voltage +0
Aux Voltage +10
Core 900
Memory 2250
It's completely stable and works like a charm but when I put my computer to sleep or hibernate when it returns the clocks are restored but the voltages arent which means when I try to run a game the system black screens until the driver recovers and I reapply my overclock to set the voltages again.
Im running the latest beta drivers 295.51 and Beta 10 of Afterburner but this has happend for the last 6 months with all previous driver/afterburner combinations.
I see flashing the VBIOS will probably sort it but I'm reluctant to mess with it as it sounds like I could quite easily brick the card which is still well within its warranty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the rather abrupt reply I got over at the Afterburner forums...
Wrong thread title. It doesn't forget anything, it is not Afterburner's job to restore VGA state after suspended mode, display driver is supposed to save VGA state before entering suspended mode and restore it properly after resuming. Afterburner may not even reside in memory when you're entering suspended mode and leaving it.
There is a workaround for such driver issues, RestoreAfterSuspendedMode entry in the configuration file, which forces Afterburner to save all settings to a temporary profile before entering suspended mode and restore it after resuming. But it won't help if you don't keep Afterburner residing in memory all the time.
And it was discussed widely, so simple search could easily solve the issue.

MSI Afterburner and voltage setting + 5850 Twin Frozr II

Seems Afterbuner is not working with the Radeon HD 5850 Twin Frozr II.
When I change the voltage or the settings didn't apply or the voltage applyed is 0.935v and the card crash 10s after.
I tried: Afterburner 1.41, 2.0, 2.1, 1.51, 1.60, 1.61 and 2.2 BETA X
No way to apply the voltage I want.
Is it a know issue ? how to solve it ?
fyi: I tried Afterburner + Asus 6850 DCU and it's working fine, no problems

perhaps this vga doesn't support voltage adjustment.

High voltage on Low Vdroop Setting P67A-GD65 + 2600k

Dear members of the MSI-HQ user forum,
My attempts on overclocking my 2600k processor has been stalled for quite some time now.
I've been at 4.3GHz for a very long time because I wish to keep my Vcore set on Auto (I don't want my voltage set manually because it will remain at that voltage all the time).
I've been playing around with a lot of settings and none of them have worked.
The main problem is I want to be stable at 4.3GHz but with Vdroop set to Auto, it will only deliver 1.288V during a Prime95 torture test. 1.288V is not enough because after 10 min. I will get the 0x124 Bluescreen, which is too little Vcore. I have manually found out that 1.296V will do the trick! But again this is set manual... After switching to Vdroop set to Low Vdroop the Vcore voltage JUMPS to 1.42V during stress test (Prime95 & IBT)!! Waaaay too high. This will only get worse if I set my processor speed to 4.4GHz, Vcore will then be 1.44/1.45V and so on..
Bios is updated to version 1.H. I updated from 1.8 to 1.C to 1.H, didn't make any difference. I've also played around with bios settings but nothing solves my problem. Eup 2013, spread spectrum, C1E, Overspeed protection all disabled. Tried all C1 states. PLL overvoltage disabled & enabled. Memory both tested @ 1333MHz & 1600MHz auto&linked settings (according to spec). And so on.
I really want to overclock further then 4.3GHz (at least that one stable) using Auto Vcore. Or my voltage is too low (Vdroop set to auto) or too high (Vdroop set to Low). Please help :(
My system specs are:
Windows 7 64Bit
Intel i7 2600k
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Corsair XMS3 8GB 1600MHz dual channel memory kit

To quote from a recent Ivye Bridge article:
Quote
Today Intel defines three different voltages for every Sandy Bridge CPU: LFM, nominal and turbo. LFM is the lowest frequency the CPU can run at (e.g. completely idle), nominal is the frequency it is specified to run at (e.g. 3.3GHz for a 2500K) and turbo is the highest available turbo frequency (e.g. 3.7GHz for a 2500K). Intel determines the lowest voltage possible for each one of those frequencies. Sandy Bridge obviously runs at more than just three frequencies, there are many more intermediate frequencies that it may run at depending on the current workload. The voltages at those intermediate frequencies are interpolated from the three points that I mentioned above.
There is no definition above that, and it becomes an extrapolation of a voltage above 3,7GHz. Considering that each CPU has slightly different characteristics, even within the defined frequency range, there is no knowing what each one will do and require outside that range. So the required voltage at those overclocked frequencies can vary quite a bit, and the extrapolated voltage range in auto voltage mode at a given frequency may not be enough for the individual sample, furthermore, it is limited in terms of the maximum it will consider and apply in auto mode. Once that critical point is reached, one has to be satisfied or resort to manual intervention.

K9n platinum voltage question

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the boards and I hope someone can help me out.
Let me throw my specs out first:
mobo: msi k9n platinum 1.0 (bios 1.5) (ms-7250-20)
cpu: opteron 1212 (voltage should be 1.3/1.35)
ram: ocz 6400 platinum (5,5,5,15 2t) (2.1v)
gfx: evga 7800gt
ps: sunbeamtech 550w(+3.3v=28A, +5v=36A,+12v1=20A,+12v2=18A(30A/35*A))
This board does have the shut down problems, but I have done the work arounds and fixed 98% of them(memory timings were the most important to fix these)
My question is how do I set the volage for the cpu? I know go into the cell menu->cpu freq config->and change the voltage...but when I set it to 1.3~1.35, the cpu voltage in the H/W monitor & on the main cell menu page will show a .28 voltage increase. My cpu temps are also through the roof (35 idle/ 68+ load).
Right now I have my cpu voltage set at 1.25 and it seems mostly stable, but the cpu Vcore shows 1.528v in H/W monitor, and cell menu.
Also if I keep my voltage at 1.2 my temps are very low (20 idle/ 38 load)
When I use cpu-z it shows the voltage that I actually set.
Anyone have an answer or fix?
Thanks for any and all replies.

leave CPU vid to Auto, you no need to change CPU vcore. voltage moving -/+ 0.05 is normal.
take care about CPU temp... your CPU is overheating and become instable, 68C+ is very high... re seat CPU ensure its mounted well, aplly new thermal paste, but do not put too much!! here are few wrong examples:
your under load temp should not exceed 55C. you may need to get better CPU cooler if no change.

Core voltage stability on 865PE Neo2 PFS

I've just installed one of the new P-series NEO-2 MOBO's. Nice piece of work, although it seems there is still some work left to be done. Definite problems (although not serious) in Core center (althoug other posts indicate this may be indiginous to core center itself..)
More serious though is a reading of the processor core voltage.
I'm using a Celery 2.6, OC'd to 3.25G, FSB 125. Had to raise core voltage to 1.6V to get there, lower voltage led to crashes as low as FSB 104...
Recently, I looked at a scan of the core voltage (provided by Speedfan):
The problem lies in the fact that during disk access and/or high processor load, the core voltage drops as much as 90 mV, bringing it back to its default setting (spikes in graph, longer drop was writing DVD, CPU benchmark has similar result).
If it does this at 1.5V, I can understand the crashes.
I get the impression this board could do MUCH better with more stable voltage regulation.
Anyone seeing similar behaviour in other Neo2-boards? Am I missing a setting?(core-cell may be intervening) It's hard to imagine the PSU can't hack it.. 12V level is rock solid.
System: MSI 865PE Neo2 PFS, Celeron 2.6G @ 3.25G (125 FSB)
1x corsair 3200 512MB @ 333
POV 5600 VIVO
WD800BB 80GB
PSU: HEC 350 VD-PT (3.3V@28A, 5V@33A, 12V@15A)

I'm not worrying. Just a bit surprised we all make a bug fuzz about overclocking, increasing core voltage by 25 mV at a time, and suddenly ignoring it all and "accepting" 70 mV drops if we need processing power...
If the voltage regulator would be more robust, it would be able to maintain the Vcore to (much?) higher power ratings.
This board drops by roughly 70 mV, constituting 3 notches on the voltage setting tab.
I went up to 1.6V, and what I actually get is 1.52.....
To have 1.6 available under all conditions, I'd need to set to 1.7 (yes, I've tried), which is over the top for "normal" overclocking (not to mention considerably higher temperatures).
Anyway, I'd like to know what other boards are doing regarding Vcore stability. Anyone out there with additional data?
Maybe a new target for modifications? (if it's worth it...)

Need more detail description on BIOS voltage

I am using DKA790GX Platinum with AMD X4 940, and I did some Overclocking and now I need more detail on those BIOS Voltage setting:
CPU VDD Voltage?
CPU-NB VDD?
CPU Voltage?
CPU-NB Voltage?
DRAM Voltage?
NB Voltage?
HT Link Voltage?
MCT Voltage?
Also,
What is the difference between CPU Ratio and CPU-NB Ratio?
LaraCroft
DKA790GX PlatinumMS-7550/AMD X4 940 Black Edition/AMI A7550AMS v1.6/3.3Ghz(200x16.5)/CPU Voltage 1.4V/2xCorsairCM2X2048-8500C5D 2048MB 1066MHZ(5-5-5-15)/ZALMAN ZM850-HP/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280/ST31000528AS(1000 GB)/XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3

I'm not familiar with what MCP or MCT voltage is, but I think it's an nvidea thing.
here's a few tips that I've found on oc'ing the 790gx platinum:
Disable Cool & Quiet & C1E.
Disable Spread Spectrum.
Enable HPET. (High Precision Event Timer)
Don't enable the OC option for the onboard graphics. (Should'nt be a problem for your system, since your have an Nvidea GFX card)
I seem to get better results with ACC Disabled, but others have reported some benefit from it set to auto or in the + range.
You may find that bumping up the CPU-NB voltage a little bit may help, but it's dependant on cpu voltage too.
Keep your NB and HT speeds close to stock by reducing their multipliers as needed, OC'ing them won't give you any better performance and it can cause a lot of uneeded problems.
As you start to OC your system, only increase voltages as you neeed to, otherwise leave them on auto or at their recommended settings.
Be sure you start with a completely stable system, Memtest & Prime 95 are your friends (see stickies)! and check your system stability as you go.
Watch your system temperatures, and know the recommended temperature limits for your components. (processor, northbridge, gfx card, etc.
Good luck and have fun!

How to increase cpu voltage on A75A-G35?

Please tell me how to increase cpu voltage on A75A-G35(I changed pstates in BIOS but voltage not changed!)? and then tell me range of voltage in 1-7 Pstates?
Thanks.

Quote from: MSI service FAQ
Q: I cannot adjust the CPU Voltage on my A55/A75 motherboard?
A: Due to a hardware limitation on this platform, you cannot adjust the CPU voltage. However, you can adjust the NB voltage which is the same on this platform.
(http://service.msicomputer.com/html/popup/techsup/formviewer.asp?esoformid=2987)
The NB voltage setting is below the "Advanced DRAM Configuration" and the only way to increase a cpu relating voltage on that board.

Can't find voltage selector switch

I am moving out to Asia with my desktop and would like to change the voltage setting to 220v.
HP web trouble shooting says there is a red voltage selector switch on the back of the computer but mine dosen't have it. I found the computer label says input voltage: 110-240v though.
How can I change the input voltage for the computer then?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
This model do not have an option to change voltage.
You may have to use an universal power cable for the wall outlet.
