770-C45 and CPU compatibility

Hi,
First, I'd like to thank the retarded genius who chose a terrible captcha which wasted me 8 minutes trying to decipher it before I could register :D
Anyways, here's the real question since it wasn't very obvious from MSI's site.
I'm planning to purchase the 770-C45 mobo and would like to use on it an AMD Athlon II X3 445 @ 3.1 GHz. According to the CPU support page of this mobo model, it's in the list. What's not very clear to me is if this processor *by default* is supported or not, or whether I'll have to upgrade the BIOS first. Well, you could say "duh, it's in the list so it should be supported". But the list, even though the CPU is on it, only mentions a BIOS version and I can't find which BIOS version the mobo is shipped with.
Thanks

There is a sticker on the BIOS chip telling you what BIOS is installed on the board.
And the retard is me, thanks to spammers who like to abuse forums
Yes, but I *don't have* the mobo yet. As I said, I'm planning to buy it (from online shop) but there's no info on the BIOS version nor can it be seen on the one pic they provide. That's why I'm asking. Obviously, one needs to have a supported CPU installed so it can boot up, do a BIOS flash if needed, and then install the desired CPU (in this case the 445). I don't have any other CPU lying around which will work with this model and MSI's site is as clear as mud on this one. They provide information about from which BIOS version and upwards a specific CPU model is supported, but don't say a thing with which BIOS version the specific mobo is shipped with so a person could know in advance if he needs to flash it or not. Most online shops don't provide info on the BIOS either, so go bang your head
About the captcha, there are better ones and as effective as the one used here, yet much better readable. Have a look at ReCAPTCHA, used by a lot of sites

Hi,
I hope wiping the drive works for yeah.
As far as the psu is concerned, I agree with what the others are saying.
Looking at your psu specs, you only have 24 amps on the 12V rail.
Your video card requirements call for that but you have no head room.
Total watts is not the only way to pick a psu.
How those watts are deligated to the various voltages it puts out.
Plus you want a psu that offers "clean" consistant power.
When you get your w7 installed we can help you pick a better psu if thats what you want.

Being this is a top of the line psu, it delivers that at clean power.
Researched the heck out of this before I bought it.

Old mobo and cpu compatibility

Hi everyone,
I have an old pc with a msi ms-7301 and an Intel core 2 duo e6300.
I want to buy on ebay an Intel core 2 extreme x6800 to upgrade this old and slow computer...
Will the mobo support this cpu?
They are both lga 775, 1066mhz FSB, 65nm...
p.s.
I know that this mobo is OEM, but please help me, don't close this topic! Packardbell has a very bad support and my computer is very old... I contacted them but they didn't reply me
Thanks.

HP Motherboards and CPU compatibility

I've been reading around and would like to know, do I have only the upgrade options specified for my CPU, or can I use any FM2 socket CPU?
Also, is it true that I need to update my BIOS if I want to use the EVGA GTX 750Ti Superclocked Edition?

Msi 770 c45 and Phenom II x3 720

Is it possible to unlock the 4th core with this motherboard?

The question is has your motherboard got the functionality in the BIOS. Whether it's possible depends on the CPU. If the 4th core was up to standard it probably would have been sold as a fully fledged quad core. AMD does not lock cores for no reason. Some of the later CPUs, the unusable cores have been laser cut and no BIOS in the world will ever see it.
Consult the BIOS part of the manual and see if core unlocking is a feature of the board.

MSI 770-C45 Gameport compatibility

The problem:
I have an MSI 770-C45 mainboard and want to use the gameport on an Ensoniq ES1370. I can't get it to work in any way. I think the cause may be the mainboard reserving hardware address 201 for its own purposes (at least Windows XP tells me so, range 0x201 - 0x201 conflicts with "Motherboard resources" twice). Am I correct on this? Is there any way to get the gameport to work?

That thing must be more than 10 years old and drivers are probably no good for XP. Creative took over the company so you would need to check with them if there are updated drivers.
http://us.store.creative.com/
It works flawlessly under XP (Professional) on another computer with an AMD processor, though that computer is less recent . Think Athlon 2600+, GeForce FX5200 and so on.
Quote from: Stu on 21-May-10, 06:35:50
Why do you need the gameport? If its for a game controller, why not treat yourself to a modern USB one? As Henry says, I've not seen any devices that connect to a gameport for 10 years or so now...
There is that; it may not be worth the effort to get the old gameport gamepad working.
Quote from: Mike on 21-May-10, 07:37:29
Yes, there are converters.

=) Those are more expensive than a shiny new USB gamepad.

770-C45 Motherboard and CPU question

I have referred to the CPU compatibility chart for this motherboard and my question is in regards to the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU. I see other 965 CPU's listed as compatible. I realize that this CPU is 140 watts. Is this a problem. Could someone please clarify this for me.
Thanks for your time

thanks for the assistance, I have decided to go with a 955 instead of a 965.
I also read the Memory sticky and it said to look for AMD tested RAM. I am using tigerdirect.ca and dont see any RAM that says it has been specifically made for an AMD. Currently I am looking at Kingston PC10600 1333MHz 4GB DDR3 (KVR1333D3K2/4GR). I only plan to use 2 as per the guide. Any suggestions.
Thanks for clearing up my earlier question.

Hi all i hawe 2 queestions i have CPU G630 and memorry (RAM) work to 1333MHZ if i activated in bios XMP to work on 1600 i have some problems stop working on windows, My friends tell g630 dont suport 1600ram
i dont have more money but i wont to give my cpu to friend and buy G860 becose my friend have it and i see he work with 1600MHZ but he have Z77 MB not as mine (,
1 will work my RAM on 1600MHz if i put G860 CPU to my MB?
2 i see to Global site have update bios 22nm to this mb is really posible this ? if i wont a 22nm cpu need to upgrade or bios in not for my MB ? becose on start this mb is for 32 nm?
MSI P67A-C45(B3)
Intel G630 2x2,7
Kingston Blue 2x4gb ram 1600MHZ

if my P67A-C45(B3) work with Intel Core i3 2130 tray or CPU Intel Pentium G860 on Ram X.M.P. 1600MHZ i will buy some this but not wont to risk
if upgrade i sell mb+cpu and buy next
if Z77A-G43 or G45 i buy Intel® Core™ i3 3240 i dont like SLI or owerclocking and mabby is G43 low cost
if Z87-G43 i buy Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell but is to hight costs mb and cpu and have some problems with money.
i ask you all becose to my country Moldova we dont have more money on job to buy extrime somfing and i wont last tehnologis to me ))) i like Z87-G43 is good but not have some low cost cpu (
I'm afraid that MSI will go strictly by 1150 socket, and will only continue to develop them, and forget about 1155

770-c45 with Athlon X4 620 and OCZ PC3 12800

I am slowly buying parts to upgrade...I bought the 770-C45 about 1 month ago and 4x1G OCZ PC3 12800 part number OCZ3P16002GK (the reason I went for two 2x1G kit instead of one 2x2G kit was the cost of former was about 50% of the price of the latter) anyway, I am planning to buy the Athlon X4 620 for the above but I am not sure if it will boot on the 770-C45 since I am sure the bios on the 770-C45 is not the latest. Any comments? Tia

Got this board myself, and looking to get a 620 also, on checking the CPU compat list, it says BIOS version 1.1 should be ok, current bios is upto 1.3 so i hope my board boots with the processor.

Flashing 770-c45 BIOS with still unsupported CPU?

Hello. I bought MSI 770-C45 mobo, and ordered Sempron 140 CPU.
The motherboard is with PCB v1.1 and comes with BIOS version 1.1. But Sempron 140 CPU is supported from BIOS 1.3. I want to ask whether the motherboard will recognize the CPU so I can flash the mobo with the latest BIOS?
Was someone in this situation?

Quote from: Raging Demon on 18-December-10, 19:26:35
The motherboard come with BIOS version 1.5, and it was OK. However, I bought Athlon II x2 250 CPU which is supported from v1.1. I read that MoBo with PCB 1.1 come with BIOS version 1.1, but this one come with v1.5.
The BIOS version a motherboard comes with varies. The 770-C45 has been out a while, so it's not surprising the one you were sent comes with a more recent BIOS version.

P6N SLI Platinum - Model 7350 - CPU Compatibility and 4 Red Lights

The CPU compatibility list shows that the Intel E6400 is "under testing". I have been running the subject motherboard with an E6400 for 2 months before a system failure.
The system would not post and the D-Bracket connector showed 4 red lights indicating processor damage or not installed properly. The processor was removed and reseated. Still no post. The processor was removed and replaced with a new E6400. Still 4 red lights. the power supply tested ok. All components were removed and reinstalled one at a time. Still 4 red lights. The mother board was removed from the case and tested outside the case with no components. Still 4 red lights.
Although Intel replaced the processor (as indicated above) one technician stated that the motherboard is "under testing" and he was concerned about long term compatibility.
My last recourse is to replace the 7350 motherboard but I want to be sure it is compatible with the E6400.
Any help or advice regarding the compatibility issue or the 4 red light failure issue is appreciated.
Thanks.

Tried resetting CMOS several times (pushed button). Power Supply disconnected. Removed battery. Replaced battery. Motherboard out of case. only thing installed is video card. Still 4 red lights.
Should also tell you that memory was removed from 2 slots and put back into 1 slot. No change.
Is this motherboard compatible with the E6400?

MSI 770-C45 locking up/blue screening/other errors on boot

I recently built a new HTPC and have been having allot of problems getting it to boot. It may take 10-15min of trying to boot up over and over with random blue screens, lockups, or errors that the C drive needs to be checked for consistency before Windows will finally load up and work. At first I thought it was a bad drive, but according to Western Digital’s HDD Diag util, both the controller and the drives surface checks out OK. I just wiped the drive out and reinstalled Windows 7 again, and this time went with IDE instead of AHCI, hoping it was a driver issue. It only worked well for a day before the same problems started rearing their ugly head again.
At this point I don’t know if I have a memory issue, a CMOS setting wrong (which are All Auto), or what. I hoping someone here might have an idea of what this problem could be.

According to MSI, my motherboard supports the following modules:

http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=656&prod_no=1812
This are the speeds of the DDR 3 RAM supported ,1600Mhz beeing done with overclocking ,because the CPU memory controller is no able to do 1600 by default.
Quote from: Mavrick007 on 23-July-10, 02:39:51
When I look at the test results for my Motherboard:
http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1812.pdf
I see 1333 RAM list like PC11000 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333). However, If I go to a site like Bestbuy or NewEgg and search for DDR3 1333, it shows results like Corsair - 2-Pack 2GB PC3-10666 DDR3 DIMM Memory Kit. I see PC3-10666 and PC3-10600, but nothing for PC11000.
The only mention of 1333 modules on the test report is for 1333 OC
When you see the PC 11000 DDR3 or PC3 10666 specifications they are refering to the theoretical bandwidth ,it s related to the frequency of course ,but it s something else it s a data rate.Its wikipedia but it s good enough -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_3 Some specs are atipical like 10666 ,marketing thngyes
Search the internet for memory that works ok with your CPU ,look for "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz."real" means that that memory should be able to run at those frequencies without voltage increase over the default one.Usually when a memory vendor says you need to increase voltage for a specific frequency it means that you overclock and that there is no warranty they will work in your configuration.
So you need DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz ,it needs to be AMD tested memory and it needs to be a known to work RAM on MSI motherboards timings wise.Look up on newegg and see what works.
The performance gaps between 1066 and 1333 are small in real practice and you can overcome some loss by using a "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz , tweaking different timings ,using Command Rate of 1T for example ( you may "feel" it smoother in desktop than a 1333Mhz at 2T).

MSI 770-C45 DDR3 1600 Problems

Hi people,
Sorry if this is a common problem but did look through the forum but couldnt quite find a problem like mine.
I have followed custom pc computer build for a gaming rig and have had hang ups randomly which allow me to do nothing but switch off system.
To cut a long story short i have tried everything to fix this but now it seems to be running ok as i have changed settings for ram to 9-9-9-24 and timing to 2T.
I have also set the volts up to 1.77 (or nearby) but i am wondering if this is correct thing to do. I am stress testing it now with prime95 and hoping these setting are correct.
M/B=msi 770-c45
Mem=corsair dominator ddr3 1600 (2 sticks in same colour port which is blue)
Proc=AMD athlon II 2 pro

If the system is stable, then dont change anything.
An AMD-cpu does NOT support 1600MHz -- that is, the memory controller can handle 1066MHz or so. If you set the memory frequency higher, then you are overclocking the system which may result in freezing or other system problems. By losening timings a bit (9-9-9-24 2T) you solved it. Now, keep on testing. If the lot stays stable, then don't change anything else.
Also, use CPU-Z to see what timings/frequency-combinations your memory can handle.

770-c45 won´t post.

hi guys!!!
well... yesterday i go to the shop and buy a whole system by parts. i get home to setup everything and i get nothing.
the system turns on with the first led on and that´s all. fans are working and the lights of my case too.
msi 770-c45
amd athlon II X4 640
asus eah5770
4gb kit ocz ddr3 pc3-10666 gold (low voltage)
the psu it's a generic one of "500W".
i asked in the shop about this, and they told me that i shouldn't have any problem with that PSU.
i tried everything already. 1 ram stick in every slot. without video card. without ram, without cpu... out of the case.
nothing changes. always the first led is on. the fans too and no beeps at all. all power cables connected.
i´ve been reading for hours and i just cant find any solution. so any help will be very apprecciated.
greetings from germany.

Quote from: Jack on 31-October-10, 18:27:48
Well, that is what the shop says. It does not mean anything. After all it is a theory, nothing more. What you need to do is an actual test.
yeah, i know that. it will be an issue if the generic PSU doesn't have enough power. but to don't post at all??? even a beep without the ram or anything on it. (it should be)
my first thougth was to test another PSU but i can't, unless i go and buy a new one.
i had read a lot about this MB and this same issue. but i cant find a why or a solution.

Have you connected the CPU power cable?
