648 max with newer cpu

I have here a Msi 648 max that was given to me by my neigbour. I was going to put it together using some spare parts. I am presently looking for a inexpensive cpu to put in, I was looking at the celeron d 2.4 533 bus 256k Will this cpu work with this board after all it is an older northwood?
TIA
m sully

Probably waste of money to get a Celeron D/533mhz.
The board will not be able to handle the powerneeds and the result might be no boot or great instability.
Northwood /533mhz is a great ( max 2,8Ghz) cpu for that board.
Try to get a used 2,4-2,8 cpu and it will not cost you that much.

MSI 648 Max with AGP X8 - BIOS update

I have replaced my old AGP card with Radeon 9550 256MB for use with my new Dell 20" WS monitor.
Every time, after starting or during 3DMark03, it crashed back to desktop and sometimes retarting my pc. I try ram settings, aperature etc with no luck. My pc has TrueBlue 480 watt PSU and the voltage reading is good.
In the end, I searched this forum and found out it was the problem with AGP X8 so I changed it to AGP X4 via ATI control panel, my pc went through 3Dmark03 with no problems at all. AGP X4 works flawless.
Regarding BIOS - my motherboard is SIS 648 MAX-L HT ready (Hyper-threading) and its latest BIOS version is v3.1. I'm just wondering that is my board exactly the same as non-HT 648 MAX board physically? Since they use same chipset with same layout and also because I noticed the BIOS update for non-HT version is different with v1.5 and has the fix for Radeon 9700 problem which could be related to my problem. Since I'm using Pentium 4 2.53Ghz, Hyper-threading is a useless feature, could I flash my board with this BIOS?
Thanks in advance

then leave it at that then. the actual real-life performance difference between 4X and 8X is negligible
Thanks, just asking...I guess I answered my own question!

AutoCad, 3D studio max with new Macbook Pros?

i'm looking to get the new 15" macbook pro at the top specs.
will it be able to run all 2009 autodesk softwares? 3ds max? autocad?
i need this for architecture school and just want to make sure bootcamp can handle the loads and does anybody know how the rendering is? faster? slower? same as pc? i am just would like to avoid pc if at all possible because i love my macs and prefer mac for adobe software and graphic design and photography work.
thanks and let me know if you need more info

Well I started this thread here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1365557&tstart=0
There's a lot of questions and answers in there, but the main point is that occasionally your license might break, turning the software into a 7 day trial, you have to email Autodesk for a new license. 2 main causes of this are the mismatch between OS clocks and/or booting up the system with different drives plugged in. Now, as long I have the same hard drives plugged in, when I run 3DS or Autocad it works fine.

Error with new CPU cooler

Hello, I just put a Vantec Aeroflow AMD into my MSI K7T 266 pro2-u mboard and upno startup I get an error relating to unabling to detect CPU spinning. However it is spinning and temp was 34C. I have noticed that the three colours of wires are "yello, black and red" whereas on defauly CPU cooler it was " Blue, Black red." Is it just a case of incompatibility as I now have disabled CPU fan detection. Thanks.

Had the same problem with same m/b and cooler. Long story short,purchased a seperate T.M.D fan rated at 5600rpm part no PD1270155B-2F and fitted to cooler and bios detected it at 5600rpm. The 5600 rpm fan was slightly noiser than the fan fitted to the vantec cooler I bought and it was gold coloured not silver. Whats also strange was cpu temp dropped from 41C to 37.5C. This raises a question that maybe the coolers are packaged with 4300rpm fans instead of 5600rpm ,the specs say 5600rpm fan but who knows. Have bought 3 vantec coolers and all three have no fan detection. Bought 3 5600rpm fans and all have fan detection. Hand held tacho rated the silver ones about 4250rpm and the gold ones at 5560rpm. Figure this one out ?(

K8N Neo4 Platinum (7030) issues with new CPU

I was running a 3000(754). It was running just fine, I decided to swap in a 3700. I can't get to post or anything. Everything comes on(fans, lights ect...). I can put back in my 3000 and it works fine. I have updated the bios. Is this CPU supported? Or is it a dead cpu? Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the lack of info, I have updated my sig. Please let me know if any other info is needed. Does moving the jumpers clear the Bios or the CMOS? I have done that. I will take the battery out tonight and see if that works.
don't forgot to remove power cord from the PSU before Clear CMOS.
provide full details about your newest CPU which you are tying to install.
check for bent CPU pins too.
what shows your D-Bracket?

I did it....Old Quicksilver Tower 800 Meg. with new CPU

I have a old Quicksilver tower which was 800 Megahertz...I put in the OWC chip in it some months ago which upgraded it to 2 gigahertz...I have a 40gig HD. That is the biggest problem. With this software you need at least 80 gigs. However, I had to ease the drive and reformat it, but it works. I don't have a dvd drive in this old rig so I used a Macbook laptop and firewire connected it-laptop was the target drive and it installed. I could have taken a long nap....but I was to anxious to see if it would fail...It is really nice!

I didn't even know they made 2 GHz G4s. It's cool you got it working though

[SIS Series] MS-6585 (648 Max)

Hi guy's. New to the forum !
Can anyone tell me please the largest capacity Hard Drive I can install on my MS 6585 v1.X mobo (the standard 648 max with on board LAN but not the HT ready one) ?
I'm running Win XP Pro SP2

http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/6585/hd.pdf
largest they tested was 120gb
and no bios update mentions 48 bit lba,needed for drives over 137gb

K8N Master C&Q fix for new CPU's when it doesn't work!

Hi dude's,
There are some older K8N Master boards that do not do C&Q properly with new CPU's.
Those boards need a rework.
If your board turns off when selecting Laptop or Minimal power option in Windows energy settings, then you have this problem.
You either RMA the board or when you know how to solder you can do it yourself.
If you solder nicely you won't lose warranty.
(Don't do this if you are not a sodering expert!!!!! then just RMA)
What you need to do is remove Q123 and Q124.
I will attach pictures so you know where they are.
If you don't care about Cool&Quiet, then don't bother.
BIOS 1.21 or later is required before you attempt this!

hello all, I spoke with MSI tech support in the U.S. regarding getting an RMA for my board with this problem and they claim no knowledge of this problem at all. say they never heard of any issue with this board and this problem. they say they will give me an RMA and see if they can "recreate the problem". but this seems strange to me given the talk of people here and getting this resolved by MSI.
any idea why they say they never heard of this? any info I can give them on this to show MSI (in Taiwan) of having known of this issue?
thanks,
mark

K7N2G-ILSR New CPU Problems

Hey guys having some problems, I got a new CPU for x-mas. xp 2800+. I had a 2400+, First time i booted with new cpu it said in the system properties that it was a 2800+ @ 2.02ghz or whatever. NOW it says...
AMD Athlon XP
1.24GHZ
1gb Ram
I think a setting might have gotten changed or something in the bios...its weird. Ty for help

Ok nvm, i fixed it :P the FSB got changed by accident and threw it off ty anyway

Why msi 648 max HT ready cannot be OC

?( The problem is :
The bios has an option in the frequency/voltage control menu called
AGP/PCI Frequency (MHz)
which gives me the ability to adjust the pci/agp bus clock frequency.
This option doesn't work, and my clue is
1- When I adjust my CPU FSB more than 110 MHz (PCI > 36.66 MHZ) and this
option to 66/33 the computer boots normally until it starts loading the O.S.
and errors saying that the OS cannot start due to lost system files, or Read
Write error to Aux device, or it hangs.
2- When I adjust this option to 80/40 and the CPU FSB to Auto (100 MHz), the
computer boots normally and load the O.S. normally and everything goes just
fine. and Sandra software reports the PCI clock frequency as 33 MHz.
Thats to say that the PCI/CPU FSB ratio is fixed at 1/3 regardless to any value selected in this option.
My system is:
Msi 648 MAX ver1.1 HT ready
Intel P4 2.4Ghz 512KB bus 100 Mhz
Msi MX440SE-T AGP 64MB DDR
WD 80GB 7200 HDD
Samsung 52-24-52 CD-RW
Creative modem blaster v.90 di5655

AGP 8X and Fastwrite with MX440 8X on 648 Max L

Hi,
I own the 648 Max L and I have just bought a MSI Geforce4 MX440 8X. I have SiS Agp drivers 1.15 installed and:
1. AGP 8X does not work although I can "enable" it
2. It says that the board does not support AGP Fastwrite but the graphic card does.
Can I please have some feedback on these issues thank you.
Razvan

I take it you're seeing this with the AGPUtil? I have found the same results with my mobo, but (and this is a but) I think it's just reading the info wrong. ATI SmartGart lists AGP 8x and Fastwrites working, while agputil does not.
Also, if you read the info file that came with those drivers (if you got them from MSI), certain motherboards are not compatible with the newer AGP drivers, and thus use v1.12. I've been looking for the AGPUtil that came with that version to double check, but haven't been able to find it.
[Edited] Maybe someone who has either of the two boards with the newest AGP drivers can offer their results as well...

Problems with MSI 648 Max

I have problems with my sons MSI 648 Max Mainboard, everything seems to be alhright, but when I upgraded the BIOS version to the lastest. the computer starts to hang. I have also but a new harddisk in to the computer an some more RAM. I think the problem begin in the powersupply, its just a 250 W powersupply to the computer, and we have av 1.8 GHz Celeron. Have anything had this problem, or is it something I should think about after the upgrade of the BIOS?.

I know that 250 watt is to small, but the computer have function great in 2 months. But after i have taking out the old harddisk and but in a new bigger one, and placed some more RAM (256). After that I installed Windows XP on the new harddisk, but after that I upgraded my BIOS version to 1.4. After the upgrade of the BIOS the computer starts to freeze after a while. I tried to reinstall XP but the computer freeze under the installation. I have tried to switch back to older BIOS version, but I cant make it work. I have really hard to believe that the powersupply is the reason why the compter freeze.

SiS AGP drivers with 648 MAX-F and TI-4600 GS

A few days ago I bought a new computer. Here are the specs:
Compucas 6A21B 300W SuperLowNoise
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2,4GHz
MSI 648 MAX-F
Kingston 512Mb 333Mhz DDR
Seagate Barracuda ATA V 80Gt 7200rpm
Gainward Geforce4 Ti4600 ultra/750 XP golden sample
windows 2000
I have tried everything to get the SiS AGP drivers work. Every time I start with them I get a white screen with colourful horizontal lines. There is also gray at the bottom of my screen. This picture comes after the windows screen, when it should say preparing network connections and everything. I have service pack 3 and DirectX 9. I have tried many different versions of the drivers from both MSI and Gainward/NVidia. I even upgraded my BIOS. From bios I have tried all the DRAM timing things. Now I have a nice set of drivers on my computer. Is there anything else to do than wait for new drivers? It works fine after I uninstall the AGP drivers. Does the operating system matter?

Did you try the newest drivers from Nvidia's website?
Did you try video card in another system when you had it in the shop, and another video card in your system? I take it you did a clean install of Windows XP. Mine has had no problems in WindowsXP, It's a Chaintech Ti4600. While I do have Windows 2000, I haven't used it on this system so I'm no help there. Also did you try setting BIOS to default settings? Come to think of it, I think it defaults to graphics card in PCI slot, maybe I'm thinking of another board. Don't know if that would make a difference anyway. Can you go into safemode and update or remove the agp drivers and start over? Is this fun or what? Did the AGP drivers you installed, create a Sis agp utility folder in the start menu? That might give you some information about any possible problems. What are the agp voltage readings in the BIOS?
Oops! Checked my BIOS, there is no setting for graphics card in PCI slot. Way too many motherboards. I'd try re-installing XP from scratch, install all sis drivers, install Nvidia drivers, install XP service pack. If that doesn't work, get mad, scream and run out the front door with arms flailing!

Wierd issues with 648 MAX-L

I recently put a system together with the 648 Max-L mobo.
P4 2.4
Maxtor ATA133
Windows XP
1 Gig PC2700 Crucial
Radeon 9700 (non-pro)
Philips Seismic Edge (was Aureal Superquad)
Having some weird issues;
1) Occasional crashes -I ran Goldmemory tests and the ram failed.....so I am RMA'g the ram but......ran Memtest 86 and it passed! ????????? So I think maybe it's good ram and the mobo is having a compatibility issue.
2) When I turn the PC off, the drives light up! Namely the operting lights actually come on and burn steady when I turn off the PC....I have to hit the main kill switch to shut them off. Really weird.
3) Maxtor has bad sector, but I am going to do a low end format that Maxtor says will fix that.
Anyone have any ideas? Once I do everything else, the next step is to get a new mobo....but this one works good other then the above issues, and I hate to waste the $75.00 I paid for what should be a good mobo. I could get another board and RMA this one....but if it IS the board I doubt I will buy the same one.
Anyone have any similar issues or ideas?

Oh, It also is in a mid tower ATX case with a 400W Mustang power supply.
