845PE Max Series overclocking question.

I have the 845PE Max Series motherboard with 1.7 Pentium 4 CPU and 1 gig of ram, 128mb AGP card.
Anyways, I would like to try overclocking it, I never really did it, I understand the basic foundemantals of it,
but what would be a good safe limit to raise the clock speed from 1.7 to 2 ?
will I see any significant increases ?
Any recommendations?

The biggest thing to keep in mind when overclocking is not all hardware is the same. Somebody with your same processor may be able to overclock it to 2.7GHz where you might be limited to 2.2GHz. And when you are overclocking keep in mind it will overclock your memory too, so if it is not high quality your overclock may not be stable. With overclocking the only science is starting small, testing, then increase. Make sure you keep an eye on your temps. I would not want to see a processor go above 55C when under load.
Good Luck

Connecting Powersupply to 845PE Max 2 FIR

This is probably a stupid question but I rather ask a stupid question than blow up my new 845PE Max 2 FIR. This motherboard has 3 power connections. Do I need to connect the power supply to all three or do I just use the big 20 pin connector by itself?
Thanks in advance

Thanks.
I got it up and running late last night. I didn't have time to mess around with it much, only to find out that when I set the high performance mode from the BIOS the system will not boot (no beep code, nothing. I had to clear CMOS and start over). I'll post more of my opinions about the board when I have more time to play with it.
Any idea why I would be having the boot problem in high performance mode? I have a P4 2.4B, MSI G4MX440-VTD8X Video Card, Kingston DDR333 512meg RAM, MAXTOR 40Gb ATA133 Hard Drive.
Thanks again and I hope you guys will understand that I am not only a newbie to this board I am also a newbie to building computers from scratch. :]

845PE Max vs 845PE Max2

Hello to the forum,
Not yet an MSI user I'am new to this group. I have a little question.
I have ordered a 845PE Max2 MB. Now my supplier lets me know he can only deliver 845PE Max. Can anyone say something about the differences of these borads?
TIA

Max2 has hardware based sound vs software on the Max.
Max2 has OPTIONAL gigabit LAN, RAID and firewire.
Max has OPTIONAL 100Mbit LAN
If you compare the basic models there is only the soundcard to tell them apart, but when comparing the loaded versions the Max2 is much better.

Intel 845E Max Series Chipset Based

Hi,
i have few questions need to ask.
i'm using Intel 845E Max Series Chipset Based (MS-6566E v1.0 ATX Mainboard)
i want to know is that, is my this mainboard can support the harddisk which have 160gb of capacity?
will it slow down my p4 1.7 speed if not support that high of capacity?
what can i do in order to let this mainboard support it?
what information u need to know to help me solve my problem?
thanks.

The worst case would be it only recognizes approximately 130 GB of it. Check mobo manual for hard drive support. also check for bios updates to add support. Try partitioning it into 2 drives. I know that works when OS is the limiting factor. Not sure if that works when hardware is the limiting factor. If you have not already bought the drive the safest answer is to buy a 120 GB drive. The other solution is to purchase a PCI controller card that supports 160 GB drives (sometimes even packaged with the drive if you do not have the drive yet).

4.0 BIOS for 845PE Max

I have this motherboard 845PE Max (MS-6580 Ver.:2.0).
And i have some question about BIOS v4.0. Here is written: Update Description: Support CPU with HT function. Does it mean that this MB now support Prescott CPU? I know that in Cpu support is written that no, but it is with old BIOS version (A6580IMS.380). I think that CPU with another core (Northwood) doesnt support hyper-threading... I think that HT is supported only by Prescotts.

I believe bios HT support for your board, means HT support for 3,06/533mhz Northwood.
It´s the only Northwood/533mhz with HT ( why this support is coming so late I don´t know )
Your board has no support for Prescott 533/800mhz or CeleronD Cpu´s.
Probably it´s not enough with just a bios update, since it´s more too it regarding motherboard construction/powermanagement.
You need a new board if you want a 800mhz cpu or a prescott 533/800mhz cpu.

MS-6580 (845PE Max VER 2.0) not POSTING with 2GB of DRAM -- POST with only 1GB

Ok I am currently fixing a client's PC, he wanted a RAM upgrade from 1GB to 2GB. I purchased a Komputerbay 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR DIMM (184 PIN) 333Mhz DDR333 PC2700 kit, it was the cheapest I could find. The problem is, the system will not POST with the two 2GB modules installed, only with 1GB on either DIMM slot. I've tested them both RAM modules, and they work. Before, the PC had 2x 512MB DRAM installed, and it was working, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the DIMM slots.
When I start the system, I get two paused beeps, and some weird noise, not sure what is.
I've read the motherboard manual, and it says the maximum support is 2GB DDR 333mhz.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Does it post with only one 2GB dimm installed?
I don't believe the board/chipset will support 4GB(2x2GB).
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/845PE-Max2.html#/?div=Detail
I don't know where you're getting 4GB, I never said anything about 4GB - I must have made a type but what I mean was: The motherboard wouldn't post with two 1GB modules (2GB) as specified to be the maximum according to the manual. It would only post with 1GB(1x1GB or 2x512MB) or 1.5GB(1x1GB + 1x512MB) of RAM.
No worries, the problem is resolved now.

845PE Max won't detect X800 AIW

I'm having an issue with my old 845PE Max mobo. I've had the Radeon X800 All-In-Wonder work before on this mobo, but after a recent format the card just won't budge! The mobo detected the card as a plug & play gfx card and everything went smooth, but after the recent format things didn't go as smooth.
When I boot the computer with the Rad now, XP doesn't detect it as a plug & play card and the annoying vgasave is initiated. I've read and tried several fixes. Installed the newest INF update with the MSI Update Tool (which didn't do the trick), tried the INF update from Intel and finally booting XP by hitting F8 and running VGA Mode, none of which worked.
What I don't get is why the card worked fine before the format, but not after?!
Probably time for me to get out from under my rock and get a new rig, but I'm not willing to give up on this one quite yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Fischer
PS: Before you ask, I've got SP2, Framework 2.0 and the whole nine yards in XP updates.

Thanks for the input. I'll try, but if it doesn't work I'll just plug in a dated Nvidia card and pass the rig on. I'm crawling out under the rock and getting a new mobo+chip+ram+pci express gfx, and design a new rig. :D
To reflect on this mobo: I've had this mobo since it came out, quite a few years ago, together with some cheap 512 sticks and a Intel P4 2.4 Ghz which I've been able to squeeze 3.1 Ghz out of with a later dual rad watercooling solution, and it's been running like this for years without a glitch. So, I think it's safe to say that I got more then my moneys worth. Salute!
Thanks for the help, both of you.

Fischer

845pe max 2 and floppy drive probs

I've got a 845pe max 2 fisr mobo
My floppy drives' LED is continuously illuminated when I turn on.
Windows 98se says it's an NEC floppy drive even though I didn't insert any drivers for it or anything. When I put a floppy disk in to it the drive can't read and a message in windows indicates that there is no disk inserted.
The thing is the drive worked when I first set up my system but that is the one and only time. I suppose it's a positive thing that the LED works.
Any ideas anyone?

Don't worry, it won't hurt your motherboard. It definitely sounds like that's the problem (floppy cabble upside down). Simply spin it around, and it should fix your problem (the "key" as you put it is facing down on my floppy drive).
If that doesn't fix the problem, try using a different cable.

845PE Max no boot

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I recently experienced a power surge and subsequently noticed my system had been taken down. Upon reboot, I noticed no video signal to monitor but system seemed to be running/fans spinning. After sub'ing out new monitor, noticed that diagnostic led's indicating that RAM check in boot sequence was where system was hung. Swapped out with known good DDR board, no change...tried reseting CMOS, no change...is there a chance that the motherboard is fried, part of the power supply toasted, what else?? Any help...thanks again.

Open the power supply, see any burnt electronics ?
If it's still alive clear the CMOS and try again.

845PE MAX-FIR Gigabit Lan Prob

I just got 845PE MAX-FIR last week.
But I have prob with Gigabit Lan controller. Windows(2k) detects it alright and says it works ok; however, it can't detect lan cable if I insert it.
First, I thought it was prob with lan cable, so I installed old realtek lan card. And it works fine with old lan card.
So I send the board for repair and got a new board. BUT! it still won't detect if the lan cable is inserted. What should I do? It's not prob with ethernet controller(since it looks working fine under windows(98 & 2000) and not the prob with lan cable. Does Gigabite lan uses different lan cable? I heard it's not...then what is the problem? HELP!

I believe you require Catergory 6 Cabling, as we where studying this the other day in class :D

845PE Max (6580 v.2.0) and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus - Problem!

Hi!
My mobo (845PE Max - MS 6580 v.2.0) detecting my hard disk (Maxtor DiamondMax 9 Plus 80GB ATA133 7200rpm) as the drive working in UltraDMA/2 mode (ATA33). What is wrong? How can I set it to work in mode UltraDMA/5 (ATA100)???
Please, help me as quick as possible.
Best regards
Martin "Kenickie"

System: MS Windows XP Pro. No Service Pack 1 installed yet.
But it doesn't matter.
Disk is recognized as UDMA/2 by BIOS!!! I upgraded BIOS to newest (3.40) but it didn't help.
This Maxtor is connected as Primary Master, and there is a CD-Recorder (TEAC CD-W516EB) on the same cable as Primary Slave. Teac is also recognized as UDMA/2. At the secondary Controller I have CD-ROM Drive (TEAC x32).

Problems installing windows2k pro on a 845PE max

hi..
i've recently bought 2 sets of msi 845pe max motherboards and started installing one of them. it was okie... then i started installing the other one but i can't seem to complete copying the files from the cd to the comp and will prompt me telling me that a file cannot be copied over. so windows cannot start up. i swopped components and it didn't work. so finally i tried swopping IDE cables and it worked perfectly..... so i've got a few spare IDE cables and used them and now my working system cannot work! is there a benchmark for IDE cables or wat seems to be the problem?

Sometimes yes, often no, but it is unsupported officially so you'll have to live with it.

Max number of questions in Studio forms

Hello all,
Is there is a limit to the number of questions you can add in a Studio form?
Thanks,
J. Underwood

J,
I'm not sure if there is a max number of questions in a form, but we have encountered issues when using Studio on a SQL server with a max amount of data being stored in a record.
It seems that SQL server can only store a max of 8060 bytes per row. This has caused us a few headaches, especially after the studio wizard allows the form, but when you go to
submit the form you get an error message.
Its not an issue with an Oracle database though!

Big Problems w/ 845PE Max-L

Installed today,
P4 2.2
M/B MSI 845PE Max-L
G/F ti4600
512. samsung PC2700
Upon startup,
I get power it seems to everything but, I have a blank screen and i hear 1 beep followed by 8 beeps. It wont go into bios or anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Ok...
Unplug all the IDE cables and re-attach JUST the HD cable from the MB to the HD making sure the connectors are on securely and are lined up with the connectors at the back of the hard drive fully.
If that boots to bios screen ok then shutdown again and re-attach JUST the floppy connector (again making sure it securely fitted to both MB and to the back of the floppy) then boot back to the bios screen again to check that its ok with the 2nd cable fitted, then shut down and re-attach the CD-ROM cable... again making 100% sure that all the IDE cables are attached correctly and securely both to the MB and to all components.
Bootup again to BIOS and see if everything is as it should be... (HD, floppy and CDROM all detected properly now?)
Now in the BIOS use auto-detect wherever needed to detect the size of the HD etc (im unfamiliar with your BIOS so the auto detect may not be required but try it anyway) save and exit the BIOS.
Spend a little time attaching the cables to make sure they are ALL attached perfectly... it is very easy to miss align them if you are keen to get the PC up and running.
