4pin or 8pin connector with p6n diamond and E6750 core 2 duo

hi guys my system boots up fine and everything is working but i am using one 4 pin connector from my psu connecting it to my motherboard
the psu also has another 4 pin connector , shall i connect this to the second blocked connector on the motherboard or is one 4 pin enough?
thanks, please see the image.

  • P6N Diamond and 4x1GB problems

    Hello all,
    Well Ive just purchased the P6N Diamond and have transferred everything from my old Asus Commando. The only problem i have is that it wont boot with all 4 sticks of Cruciial Ballistix PC6400. It boots fine with either set in either slots so I have eliminated a damaged DIMM slot as the problem as well as faulty RAM
    My question is how likely will a bios update be in fixing this problem. i have the latest bios 1.3. the rest of my specs are
    E8400
    8800GTX
    2 x 74gb raptors
    Someone on another forum has also suggested raising the northbridge voltage as a possible solution, can anyone verify this as a method to get 4 x 1Gb working?
    Thank you in advance
    Sacha

    Thanks Mark,
    Interesting info there, so did you have problems with 4 sticks initially and then had to raise the VTT or did it accept the 4 sticks right away?
    But I seem to be having more issues and have contacted the vendor for a return. Theres cold boot issues with my two raptors on the "hardware raid" sata ports and I have to load optimized defaults (which obviously doesnt help with my overclock) just so it can see my boot drive.
    Its quite frustrating for such a high end board and I will go back to my Asus Commando which had no issues whatsoever and overclocks like a demon, until I look to make the jump to DDR3 and the 790i.
    Cheers

    You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
    Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.

    You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

    I'm having frequent RSDs with my MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Model A1150. Checked inside for dust around fans, etc., but none was visible. Laptop gets very warm, more so on the left side than right. Any suggestions for finding the problem & solutions?

    But it's covered by Apple's warranty - if you ask, they should erase & reinstall OS X then if it still panics without adding any 3rd party software, there has to be some problem with the computer.

  • P6N Diamond and Wolfdale E8400 Decision

    I recently built a new machine with the Intel Wolfdale E8400 processor, 2 sticks of 2GB (5-5-5-18) OCZ Reaper DDR2800 RAM and the P6N Diamond motherboard. I thought that since the motherboard supported
    Core 2 Duo and a 1333 MHz FSB that surely it must support the Wolfdale.
    Silly me. Initially my system locked up and rebooted with artifacts whenever I tried to run 3D Mark 05. At first I blamed my new videocard, the MSI NX8800GT and RMA'd it. Since I got back the same card I sent, the problem must not have
    been the graphics card.
    Sure enough, it turned out that I hadn't plugged in 8 pin ATX12V connector! I thought that surely the 24 pin 12V connector would be enough, right? How the system even POST-ed on my first attempt I don't know. Once I fixed that, the system was able to run 3DMark 05 without locking up and rebooting. I then played Oblivion for about an hour with all the settings cranked up ( 1920 x 1200 x 32 w/ everything set to high but no AA ). 
    Then I noticed that under 'System Properties', Windows only listed 2.5 GB of RAM when I had 4GB of RAM.   
    I was aware of the 32-bit Windows XP RAM limitation and expected to see at least 3 GB.
    I then found out that the latest BIOS 1.3 could fix the  problem.  After the BIOS update and loading the fail-safe defaults, I reran 3D Mark 05 and sure enough it hung and reboot (this time with no artifacts.)
    I set Windows to not reboot on system error so I could actually see a BSOD if there was one, but the BSOD would flash on the screen too fast before the system rebooted. 
    I then cleared the BIOS, re-loaded fail-safe defaults in BIOS, and reinstalled Windows.  Windows then reported 3.0 GB of RAM and the machine finally completed a run of 3D Mark 05 without locking up and rebooting.
    I learned 2 lessons there:
    1) Don't update your BIOS unless there's something REAAAALLY wrong
    with your system and
    2) If you do, make sure to clear your BIOS afterward.   
    Then I decided to try Prime 95.  I selected 'Blended Tests' and a few seconds later the machine would again lock up and reboot. It was at this point that I decided to send the MSI support people a message.
    My response was that the P6N Diamond does NOT support the Wolfdale E8400 processor.
    Anandtech.com even says that it does!!!
    A coworker of mine has his machine working with the EXACT SAME PROC AND MOBO!!!!! 
    I tried underclocking the FSB to 1066 MHz, which reduced the proc to 2.4GHz and the DDR2-800 memory to 533MHz and Prime 95 ran overnight. 
    Just when I was about to give up hope and try to sell the 'officially incompatible' P6N Diamond, I stumbled onto a forum thread involving the P6N Platinum.  Apparently, someone with a similar problem with the P6N Diamond
    figured out that if he increased the voltages (CPU to +0.0250, Memory to 1.85 V, NB Voltage to 1.35, SB Voltage to 1.55 V and FSB VTT to 4%) then the system would be stable.
    On a lark, I tried those settings and now the system is stable at 3.0 GHz and a 1333 MHz FSB and my DDR2-800 running at 667MHz.
    Overall it seems as if I am having to overclock my system just to get it to run at STOCK speeds!!!!
     This doesn't seem right given that other overclockers are getting at least 3.6 GHz with their Wolfdales. 
    Should I try the P7N Diamond?

    I got that particular PSU because it has a dedicated single +12V rail. One of my co-workers had
    a problem with a power supply with multiple rails and passed on a recommendation
    that for the sake of simplicity, a PSU with a single rail was best. 
    The PSUs with multiple rails seem to involve more care in plugging in components as far making sure that
    the parts are getting the right amount of current(?)

  • Aftermarket CPU cooler to fit P6N Diamond and my new build

    Hi, after my motherboard finally quit a couple weeks ago, I am starting to build my new system.  I just purchased a P6N Diamond motherboard and I'll be picking up an E6700 Core 2 Duo and I already know that I am going to overclock slightly. 
    With the heat pipes this board has, I'm wondering if and if so, what aftermarket CPU cooler will fit on this board.  I'm not going for a major overclock, but I would like to see 3GHz per core or slightly higher.
    Also, Does anyone know what speed of RAM I should get to bump this processor up to 3GHz?  On my last setup, I used DDR 434 and ran it at speed to get the processor up from 3.0C to 3.24GHz and 3.4E to 3.67GHz (upgraded at one point).  I am still not sure on what RAM I should use yet for compatibility issues, but I guess I need to figure out the speed first.
    I also just ordered my video card today as well.  I went with a EVGA eGeforce 8800GTX Superclocked card.  Later on down the road when the price comes down, I'll pick up another to run SLI.  From what I read on MSI's website, SLI (with the P6N Plat) doesn't support SLI in Vista... Is this true with the board, or will it be a driver/BIOS issue that can be fixed later?
    The computer this is replacing is my HTPC.  I used and will again use this thing for just about everything.  I regularly watch movies, record/watch TV, listen to music, play games, etc.  I have it hooked up to a 40" flat panel LCD HDTV and have loved running and HTPC since I bought the TV in December.  Hopefully this next system lives up to what I'm hoping it will be.

    The GeminII cooler may not fit. But the Tuniq is also too heavy IMO.
    I would pick this; it has good clearance and is one of the best coolers on the market. Except for this obviously.
    But it's all down to personal preference.
    I really like the Thermalright SI-128 SE that you recommended.  My last Thermalright was able to cool my 3.4E @ 3.7GHz processor down when my old Zalman could not.  Do you know if this will fit?  I'm not sure the larger Thermalright will fit in my case...
    Another option I was thinking about is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019

  • MSI P6N Diamond and very slow BIOS menus

    I'm having problems with my new setup. My setup is as follows:
    MSI P6N Diamond with 1.1 bios update
    2 x OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P800R22GK
    XION Supernova XON 600W Power Supply
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not overclocked yet, having problems whenever I change settings)
    EVGA  GeForce 8800GTS 640MB Video Card
    I'm running Vista 32bit fine as far as I can tell, everything is pretty snappy and other programs are running fine, but the machine is very slow to post and running the bios menus is a painful process as it takes about 2-4 seconds to switch selections. I tried running the board with 1 stick of ram in slot 1, with slots 1 & 3 and all 4 and it made no difference. I had a USB card reader plugged in and then removing it seemed to make a difference for a while, the BIOS menus ran as I expected, very snappy. Also anytime I switch the CPU clock from automatic to manual the computer won't post and i have to reset the bios
    Anyone have a clue what could be causing this slowness and my inability to overclock the cpu?

    I will be getting the Q6600 in 1 week, :D.  The new G0 stepping as well :D. I'm excited.
    Are you using XP or Vista? I have had no distortion or pops with my sound.  Although, from what I hear the drivers for XP or much more polished than those for Vista.  This is a Creative issue, and not an MSI issue.  Lots of people are having problems with Vista with the standalone Creative cards as well.
    I overclocked my E6700 to about 3.5Ghz, and hit a temp wall based on my ambient temps.  I probably could have gone higher if it was cooler in the room that houses the computer.  Although, the temps have dropped dramatically after the AS5 has cured, probably could get it pushed up a bit higher.  Hopefully I don't have problems with it when the Q6600 comes in. 
    If you got the older B3 stepping version, it will run a bit hotter and will be much harder to OC to higher speeds because of this.  I've found the P6N Diamond to be very OC friendly and like all the options it gives.  The only thing I don't like is the adjustment of the Vcore lists the # above stock, instead of the absolute #. Sometimes the Vcore it auto assigns isn't 100% correct I've heard so it'd be nice to know what that auto value is.  The Vcore reading you can read in the monitor section fluctuates a hair in each direction of 1.3 for me when at stock, so I assume it was 1.3 stock.

  • Sli-bridge incl with P6N Diamond??

    Ive just orderd a new mobo, P6N Diamond. And was wondering if the SLI-bridge is incl in the box? I cant find anything about that. Mayby a stupid question here for all tech-heads.....sry for that

    Quote from: flobelix on 16-October-07, 21:10:52
    You don't need to. As it is a board with a sli chipset MSI has to add a bridge. The reminder doesn't pertain to the bridge. Any retail MSI board with sli chipset comes with a bridge, no matter the area where it is sold.
    Because nVidia don't ship SLI bridges with their cards.

    I have been having lots of problems with Windows XP just locking up on me.  It has happened 3 times now, and I am tiring of re-building my PC from scratch.  Every time, it works for a while, and then, just locks up one day.
    At this point, I've removed my partition, rebuilt it, reformatted and re-installed windows.  I'm currently running the AMI v1.3 bios.  I've loaded the latest nVidia drivers (9.53 driver package).  I've loaded the latest graphic drivers from EVGA (169.02_XP32).
    I've read lots of posts in various forums about issues with SATA settings on nVidia systems, but I can't seem to find a post that is clear about the best settings.  They mentioned disabling command queuing, using/not using SiL drivers, etc.  Can anyone offer any insight that might help me straighten out my system?  I am close to tossing it out a window.

  • P6N Diamond and built in X-Fi trouble

    Hi i just purchased a spanking new pc setup which included the p6n diamond (for the built in x-fi).
    I've cleanly installed windows xp 32bit with sp2 onto the raid 5 array (3x76gb) harddrives. I installed the nvidia nforce motherboard drivers (latest windows signed driver) and the latest windows signed nvidia gfx card driver. also installed direct x 9c and enabled sli on the gfx cards.
    I've done nothing else to the system..everything is fine...except... there is a pci device in device manager which i thought was my built in creative x-fi card... however, when running the msi creative x-fi installer, it says "no supported device found"....weird. So i went into my bios to check it was turned on and it was. just to make sure though, i turned it off and low and behold the pci device dissapeared from device manager. I've since turned it back on (which again popped it into the device manager) and tried installing the drivers from the creative website...which also did not find a x-fi card to install onto. i then extracted the creative .exe driver file and tried forcing the install by telling device manager i "have disk" and pointed it to the extracted files.... it installed the card "sound blaster x-fi xtreme audio", but the device "cannot start" and has an exclamation mark next to it (i had also previously tried forcing the msi drivers in the same way, but they didnt even allow me to select a driver that way (after doing the "have disk" thing)).
    the bios version is 1.1 (came that way) - although i am contemplating a downgrade to 1.0 (asking you lot first 
    Im kinda lost as to where to go from here and i really really really really dont want to have to dismantle my newly built pc, sent it back to ebuyer to have them tell me "the x-fi card is fine" or something along those lines... and get into a long drawn out phone battle with their support team (which is normally inevitable).
    I work in IT, so give me all the options you think i have no matter how remote and i'll give them ago before losing my pc for weeks on an RMA.
    spec:
    e6600 dual core
    2 x 7900gs using sli
    corsair hx 620w psu
    2 x 1gb ocz vx2 pc2-8000 ram
    3 x 10k 76gb raptor  (using nvidia raid 5 built into the mb)

    Ok... after installing all the windows updates (i already had sp2 installed mind you) something strange happened... the pci device was detected as an HD audio device (thanks for the tip maesus).
    Thing is... after installing as a HD audio device, the pc then detected it as an creative x-fi, then it detected it as a hd audio device again, then an xfi card again...over and over in some weird "found new hardware device" loop.
    and again on reboot, i got a non-functioning device in device manager (the exclamation mark again).
    sooooo.... I re-installed windows (again!)...but this time i ran ms update until it ran out of updates then tried running the creative installer...... at last... it installed! 
    i have sound 
    So it seems you need to install a particular ms patch before installing this device... (and if you try to install the device before then...you may have to re-install the OS).  It would be very nice to know exactly what patch was needed, but at the moment i am experiencing great relief that i wont have to send this back to the supplier.
    phew.   cheers for the help guys... and i hope this helps others in the same predicament.

  • Camera Connector with Nikon D2x and 5G 60gb iPod

    Has anyone had experience with the D2x (Nikon) and the camera connector on a 5G 60gb iPod?
    The camera is compatable with Mass Storage and PTP. The camera works great with iPhoto...plug it in and iPhoto opens and you click the button to download.
    Also, I see that the new iPod has a longer lasting battery. Does this help when downloading a large card.
    By the way, I called Belkin and their camera connectors are NOT compatable with the new 5G models and the guy said that there is nothing on the drawing board.
    G5 Dual 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   3.5gb RAM; 400gb HD

    I purchased the 60gb iPod-Video (5G) and after several failed attempts I found the proceedure to upload photos on to the iPod using an Apple camera connector with my D2x. Here goes:
    First, reset the ipod (just a precaution...hold down the center button with the Menu button for 6 sec). The screen will go black with a golden apple in the center. The menu will display after a short period.
    Turn on the ipod (if it isn't already on from the above proceedure).
    Plug in the camera connector to the iPod (without the USB cable attached).
    Attach the USB cable to your camera and turn on the camera.
    Plug in the cable from the camera to the camera connector which is attached to the iPod.
    Wait 20-30 sec and it should work.
    I tested the speed in both PTP mode and Mass Storage mode. The import for both was 200mb.
    PTP = 3minutes 10 sec
    Mass Storage 1 minute 59 sec.
    The battery did go down a lot (about 1/4 after both imports), but after you detach the camera connector and go back to the main menu, it seems to go back up to about 95% full.

  • P6N Diamond and X-Fi

    Hi all,
    I have just built a system with new components and I'm having issues with X-Fi both in Vista (64) and XP (32 and 64), the OSs sit on different partitions, Vista is the primary one.
    1st problem: Vista 64 recognized hardware and installed latest and greatest drivers. Sound out works, but games do not recognize EAX capabilities.
    2nd problem: XP 32 and 64 do not recognize the X-Fi on-board, they both see a PCI device but will not install the X-Fi drivers because the hardware is not recognized as .
    3rd problem: I have installed an X-Fi Elite PCI and the card is not recognized by any of the 3 OSs (the slot works as the X-Fi led illuminates).
    Any recommendations to get the on-board and the PCI add-on board to be recognized? Any way to reset the BIOS?
    Here is the hardware snapshot:
    # Intel Q6600 2.4 GHz
    # MSI P6N Platinum

  • Help with P6N Diamond X-Fi drivers

    Ok, even though we have a fair share of threads with problems with this on board sound, im sure some of you must have it working correct.
    So if you do, please tell me which driver you are using for the X-Fi.
    Im running Windows Vista 64bit UK and if I use the driver from the CD I get the problem with the microphone not working. (It says its connected when its not, and vice versa.)
    When I use the driver downloaded from the support page I can use the microphone, but none of the fancy properties of the sound card.
    I tried MSI's support and was told:
    Dear Customer,
    Please install driver patch for the sound card from ftp. (ftp.msi.com.tw)
    Driver\Driver Patch 2.zip.
    Thank you!
    So, I downloaded the file, unpacked it, and have tried different ways of "installing" it. (Clicking on the exe does not seem to work, and copying the files into the filesystem where the installed driver is located did not help either.) Since it had no effect I'm completely clueless to what the idea is behind this patch. If anyone can figure it out I would very much like to hear about it.

    Yes, none of the suggestions work.
    The first suggestion: Don't use the front panel.
    I have already disconnected the front panel completely.
    The second suggestion refers to a "Headphone Detection tab" that, although mentioned in the Audio Console help file, does not show up on my computer.
    I find it rather amusing that a top-of-the-line board, specially focusing on the on-board audio, does not have a working Vista audio driver.
    The board is now almost one year old, and 10 months has passed since the Vista launch.
    Whats even more amusing is that Creative, who put their name on the on-board audio, does not want to have anything to do with this on-board sound either.
    Reading about all the other problems with the board and experiencing plenty of these problems myself.. perhaps its time to return it, and add myself to the list of people who don't care about this board....

  • Logic Pro X compatibility with mbox 2 mini and 2009 core duo macbook

    I currently have Pro Tools LE 8.0.3 and an Mbox2 Mini, both of which amazingly still work on Mountain Lion 10.8.4.  I'm interested in learning Logic and am trying to confirm compatitility with the Mbox2 Mini on a first generation core duo Aluminum Macbook (2.4 Ghz) running 4gb of RAM.  The system requirements just say 10.8.4 or later with a 64 bit processor.  The Macbook runs fine, and I primarily just record stereo piano tracks, so it's not like I'm going to have 16 tracks running on it.  Anyone using an Mbox2 Mini, and any issues with the hardware?

    It's not an external device's compatibility with LPX that matters...
    It's your external hardware's compatibility with whatever OS X version you are using to run LPX in.... that is important.
    Im guessing you upgraded OS X about the same time you switched to LPX?
    So....
    Make sure you have installed the drivers and software from this page....

    Note: Why is it showing Duet and not Quartet briefly? Are you sure you installed the correct drivers or did you, at one time have a Duet?
    Additional: You might want to try this.. though I doubt it will fix things... but this can cure all kinds of weird issues...
    Delete both the main plist and the CS file...
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    Quit Logic Pro
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    Restart the computer.
    Note: if you cannot find either of these files you didn't follow the instructions exactly as described

  • External Hard Drive and iMac Core Duo

    I purchased a new iMac Core Duo and also have a iMac G4.
    I transferred my data from the old computer to the Core Duo with no problems. I have a Maxtor One Touch II external hard drive on the old mac. Everything transferred well including the external hard drive.... everything worked well until yesterday. Something happened, I don't know what. The Core Duo no longer recognizes my external drive, and I can't reload it. I tried to migrate all of my files from the old mac to the new, But that doesn't work anymore either. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have an awful lot of data that I really would like to have again on the new Core Duo.

    I think my new iMac just fried my external Lacie d2. I kept my iphoto library on the d2 and was working in iphoto and suddenly photos started disappearing. When I rebooted, the drive was fried. Disk Utility couldn't repair it.
