865PE Overclocking Problems

Ive been having problems overclocking my 865PE Neo2-S motherboard...
Using my P4 2.4C, I drop the mem ratio to 333mhz, and everything goes fine until I reach about 246mhz FSB, where I hit some kind of wall, it doesnt post or if im in windows the computer automatically resets and then doesnt post.
Memory isnt the problem obviously, its running under 200mhz. The CPU temps are fine, I attempted to up the CPU voltage to 1.55, but this also had no effect.
It has to be the motherboard holding me back, anyone got sugggestions as to what I can do?
Thanks.

Well in Bish's sig it says 1.3 bios so you should be able to overclock some. I too was stuck at a certain FSB. No matter what i did i couldnt get my board pass 260FSB. Ive come to the conclusion its just the board. Face it you got a board that cant go over a certain FSB. Whatever you do dont flash to the new 1.4 bios youll have even more problems with overclocking. I did and now i cant overclock at all..well 210FSB at 1:1 and 215 at a 5:4 Divider with major stability problems is not something i call being able to overclock.

865PE Overclocking problem with video card

Hello, this is my first post, so I just wanted to say hello to everyone.
I just bought the following equipment
P4 2.8c (stock cooled)
MSI 865PE LS motherboard
Kingston HyperX PC3500 2 X 256MB (dual channeled)
Geforce 4 TI4800 8X AGP 128MB
Sparkle 400W Power supply.
My problem is, when I overclock my processor, to a moderate level (3.1 GHZ) I get hieroglyphics and different colored textures placed when playing games (battlefield 1942) and when benchmarking in 3dmark.
What is the cause of this? Maybe a AGP voltage issue? Im new to overclocking and do not know much about the video card side to overclocking.
Thanks for the help,

set AGP/PCI locked to 66/33 in the BIOS.

KT333 Ultra; fuzzy logic, 1.6xp overclocking problem help !!!!!

Not that I am an expert o/c but here are some thoughts on the matter.
My comments are based on my experiences of the KT3 Ultra2 which is basically the same as the Ultra version.
This mobo does not have the ability to lock the PCI/AGP bus freely from the FSB. However, it does have dividers. At 133 a 1/4 divider kicks in. Above 152FSB the 1/5 divider works, so that at 166 the PCI & AGP buses will be back in sync. If you are o/c your cpu, don't go from 133 to 145, etc since you will be running the PCI/AGP buses further out of whack. Just go to either the mid 150's or to 166 in one jump. The other problem / issue relates to your cpu. From what you say you have one of the old Palominos which are not great o/c's. I would personally o/c your cpu from the BIOS rather than 'Fluffy Logic' which I would tend to stay away from.
With a 166FSB cpu a very stable o/c would be 175-177 beyond 180 gets decidedly tricky.
Hope this helps

Overclocking Problems on K8N Neo Plat

As I had said that even when HTT is set 200 and memory divider used is 1:1 on my Corsair XMS (which was plugged in in my nF4 SLi mobo and has TCCD Ram chips) which is rated 2-2-2-5 at 200Mhz DDR and processor at stock speeds and voltage, memtest shows errors and system doesn't boots in windows.
Also my Ram sticks are rated 2.60V but when Vdimm set at auto Motherboard pumps 2.70V !! what's the problem , I use version 1.7 BIOS on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Is that going to harm my RAM

865PE FIS2R Problems

I just built a system that includes a P4 2.4c cpu, the 865PE Neo FIS2R motherboard, Corsair 1 GB Twin 3200 C2 ram and an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro video card.
Most of my problems seemed to stem from the ATI card. But now, I can't even download Adobe Acrobat Reader from the web without getting file errors. I tried installing a game and received similar errors. I have already reinstalled Windows XP twice. I did flash bios to 1.3 and perhaps that is the source for the instability.
I've decreased my Bios setting to "SLOW" and upped the DDR voltage to 2.7. I came across a thread that stated Corsair C2 ram had problems with the 865P chipset and that they recommended their LL modules.
I think I'm going to have to RMA both the MSI board and Corsair ram and replace them with more stable products. I'm not really trying to overclock but chose this board from the many reviews I've read, including the review from Tom's Hardware Guide. I'm even tempted just to buy the Intel board for stability purposes.
For the time being, I've dropped the memory clock to 333mhz and will probably try OCZ 3500 ram instead.

I'm not quite sure what you want in terms of system specs, but I'll state what I know.
MB: 865PE NEO FIS2R BIOS 1.3
CPU: P4 2.4c (Not overclocked)
FSB: 800mhz
Ram: Corsair 3200 C2, 1gb @ 400 mhz. Times as listed by SPD were 2.5-3-3-3-8.
Bios: Slow setting
OS: Windows XP SP1 and with all recent updates
Video: ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
HD: WD 80 GB 7200rpm ATA100
The reason I would consider returning the Corsair ram is that I shouldn't have to step ram speed down to 333 mhz when it's supposed to run at 400 mhz. I came across a thread on this website that Corsair has known issues with the 865/875 chipsets and that they recommend low latency ram instead of the C2 ram. I've noticed OCZ 3500 seems to run well at 400mhz according to posts in the MB vs ram thread.
While installing Red Alert 2, I received several errors which said that there was a problem writing files. I've had this harddrive for over 6 months now and never had a problem with the P3550 Asus P3B-f system I was using.
While doing the 2nd install of Windows XP, I had file errors as well. This leads me to believe the RAM is unstable at 400 mhz because I don't see any other explanation for that behavior.
As to whether stepping down to 333 mhz has solved the problem, I plan on doing another install of XP today now that I've stepped down the RAM and will hopefully end up with no errors.
When I first setup the system, the MB Bios was 1.0. I didn't feel I was having problems until 1.3. The reason I had done a 2nd reinstall of XP was related to the video card and once i found out Red Alert doesn't work with HT on, that issue seems solved.

MSI Ti-4200 128 MB possible overclocking problem

I have a:
QDI Kudoz 7E/333A mobo
AMD Athlon 2000+ (Palomino)
MSI Ge-Force Ti-4200 128 MB
512 MB Ram@333
Maxtor 160 GB HDD UATA 133 8MB Cache
Western Digital 40 GB GDD UATA 100 2MB Cache
SB Live Audigy 2 NX
Nec DVDR/W 3520
Nec DVD-ROM 5500
Windows XP SP 2
NVidia Detonator (Forceware) 66.93
Coolbits2
I had overclocked my Ti-4200 to 285MHz Core and 585MHz RAMDAC using the coolbits registry key (boot settings). Everything worked fine for about a month, I have ran several 3DMark tests (mostly 2003) and many "heavy" games (Doom 3, Far Cry, HL2, Warhammer:DOW, etc) and no problems occured (crashes or weird graphics). The 3DMark 2003 score from 1500 now is 1700 and I am (was) quite happy about it. Yesterday I removed the 512 Ram and re-installed it after a while (had to remove the card also) and the PC, without having any problems at all (I was playing Dungeon Siege a few hours ago) suddenly, while in BIOS and DOS, the screen is filled with white dots (looks like Pac-Man ) and while loading the XP logo I see thin vertical lines (red and yellow) and then the monitor closes while the PC still works. I tried running in safe mode, it loaded but I still had these lines on the screen. I removed the DVD-ROM and the WD HDD just in case (350W PSU) but still had the same story. I installed a Club 3D Radeon 9600 Pro 256 MB and everything worked fine. I didn't install any Catalyst Drivers, I removed the coolbits from the registry and the NVidia drivers, re-installed the Ti-4200 and still I have the same problem. The card looks fine, no broken pins or anything. I also thought about a virus but this can't be, I triple-checked everything I installed and no viruses were found (and the Radeon worked).
I fear the overclocking was not so good after all but I can't be sure.
Any ideas?
Thanx in advance.

Proves a theory im made at least, MSI makes cheap / fault video ram, your card is a gonner pretty much, those vertical lines and monitor shuitting down are known as screen corruptions that occur when the video ram is fried (in most cases), did you overclock it by 10%? Im wondering if you can RMA a card since MSI does guarentee 10% overclock on some cards so I here but I cant be sure, someone else needs to answer that question as for MSI, if your going to overclock, dont buy from them, Im quite peeved at MSI because the memory on their cards cant even handle stock speeds let alone overclocked ones.

Dual Boot windows 32bit and 64bit overclocking problems

Im pretty new to overclocking and this is my first try I manage to get my AMD Venice 3200 to hit 2500 with 250fsb X 10, HTT 4, vcore 1.44. I used memory divider 166/200 so the memory is running at 208MHz not alot of overclocking on the memory since it is some cheap brand.
My problem is that I have dual boot and with windows xp everything is fine CPU-z reports the right speed for the cpu and memory when I overclock, and there is an increse in preformance with overclocking, But when I boot windows XP 64bit CPU-z reports the FSB as 200 so it is not showing any change, it does report the change in the memory divider 166/200 and the cpu voltage increased that I applied to overclock. The thing is that when I open systerm properties it shows the CPU speed as 2500MHz but when I test the preformance there isnt any increase. I used Superpi to test preformance and in windows XP 32bit it finishes the 1M test in 36seconds while in Windows XP 64bit it takes 42seconds.
My system specs are
AMD Venice 3200
MSI K8N Platium bios 1.8
1024MB Wintec Memory 3200
Geforce 6800 GTO 400/1100
OCZ ModStream OCZ52012U 520W Power Supply

Im runing the final release of Windows xp 64 and cpu-z 1.30, I also have Everest Ultimate Edition and it only shows 3% overclock 205 FSB. Im thinking of formating the HD with windows 64 and installing it again with the systerm already overclock.

MSI 990FXA GD-80 Debug LED 19(Overclocking Problem)

I don't want to use the OC Genie Lite II but when i overclock it manually it freezes.
AMD FX6100 3.3Ghz
Overclocking it to 4.3Ghz
Vcore set to Auto
300Mhz x 14.5
Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz (8GB 4x2)
DDRAM Frequency: 1599Mhz(Overclocked set)
So yeah I don't know if this is a mobo problem :/

MSI 865PE VGA problem wrong color

I have just purchased a new motherboard, the MSI 865PE Neo2-FIS2R. Now all the colours on the screen are wrong. Example: In a window in Windows XP, the white has turned black and the text is still black. All other colours are wired. I have updated the BIOS and drives for the motherboard and the VGA card and nothing seems to help. I have then tried to change the VGA card to my old Geforce 2 and it worked perfect. I used to have the Winfast card working with a Soltek SL-75FRN-L motherboard and it worked perfect. What can the problem be and how do I solve it,
does any one know??
CPU: Intel P4 2800 MHz FSB800
Motherboard: MSI 865PE NEO2-FIS2R
VGA Card: Leadtek Winfast A250 LE TD MY VIVO 128 MB
Power Suppy: Thermaltake 420W
Ram: Kingston DDR433 PC3500 2x256 MB HyperX
HDD: Raid with 2 DiamondMax Plus D740X 60GB Fluid
DVD: Asus DVD-E616
CD-W: LiteOn LTR-40125S
OS: Windows XP

Hi again,
Have you tried updating to Win XP Service Pack 1 yet?
Else, you may want to try this weird method as some gave a shot and the problem's solved, but not to everyone...
Boot up using the the cards that work, next, shutdown com(do not un-install drivers), put in the Leadtek card, boot up and see if there's the original 16bit colors with 800 by 600 res screen while starting up windows, if it does, try installing the drivers for WinXP/2000 by manually selecting the location as XP has a problem in detecting XP's VGA drivers, restart and see if problem persists.
All the Best... :D!!!

Overclocking problems after BIOS upgrade

I’ve currently a MSI 865PE Neo2 mainboard with an Intel Pentium 4 2,4 GHz/FSB 800, 400MHz DDR-SDRAM.. Current version of BIOS is 1.3 and I succeeded to overclock P4 up to 3,0 GHz.
To achieve such a benchmarking I did the following steps (at least this seams to be the fail safe procedure to achieve success in overclocking P.4 to 3,0 GHz):
Load Setup Default settings first, changed Frequency/Voltage control as follows:
Dynamic Overclocking:       Disabled
Performance Mode:          Slow
CPU Ration Selection:       Locked
DRAM Frequency:          Auto
Spread Spectrum:          Disabled
Adjust CPU Bus Clock (MHz):    250
DDR Clock(MHz)         500
Adjust AGP/PCI Clock(MHz)   66,66/33,33
CPU Vcore Adjust         No
   CPU Vcore         1,750
DDR Power voltage         2,50V
AGP Power voltage         1,50V
After reboot I get:
Dynamic Overclocking:       Disabled
Performance Mode:          Slow
CPU Ration Selection:       Locked
DRAM Frequency:          Auto
Spread Spectrum:          Disabled
Adjust CPU Bus Clock (MHz):    250
DDR Clock(MHz)         400
Adjust AGP/PCI Clock(MHz)   66,66/33,33
CPU Vcore Adjust         No
   CPU Vcore         1,750V
DDR Power voltage         2,50V
AGP Power voltage         1,50V
That is, the mainboard keeps the FSB at 250 MHz but changes DDR Clock to 400 MHz. Thus everything works fine (forcing DRAM Frequency setting from Auto to 400, simple doesn’t work. Don’t know why?).
After upgrading the BIOS from version 1,3 to 1,5 the mainboard never adjusts the DDR Clock to 400 MHz and always reset to default 2,4 GHz base CPU clock frequency.
To my despair, after many different settings I could ever be able to overclock P4 to 3,0 GHz !!
Could you anyone please help me?
Kind regards,

There is really no efect in increasing the RAM voltage, I’ve tried up to 2,75 Volts.
With BIOS after 1.3 I always get "DRAM timing is too tightly so reload timing..."
Nevertheless I flashed BIOS version 1.7. After many tries what I've discovered is that if I set DRAM Frequency to 333, system shows after reboot DDR Clock (MHz) = 400 !!!
So everything works fine, Pentium 4 running at 3,0 GHz with CPU Bus Clock(MHz) = 250. Maybe this is a bug !?!?
To be on the safe side I've changed DDR Power Voltage to 2,70V as you recommended.
Kind regards
Pedro

MSI P45 Overclocking problem

Hi,
Im trying to overclock my E8400 processor. I try to raise bus speed from 333MHz to 400MHz. It boots to windows but after like 10 secs I get BSOD. Im using FSB:DRAM ratio 1:1, core voltage 1.235V and DRAM voltage 2.1V. Im also using multi-step OC booster in mode 1.
My setups is:
Intel E8400
MSI P45 Platinum (Bios 1.0)
OCZ 4GB 800MHz DDR2 PlatinumXTC (OCZ recommend 5-4-4-15 latency but i have those setting in auto and latency atm is 6-6-6-18, problem?)
GF GTX 280
Zalman 600W PSU
Thanks for you help!

I'm not sure what this is but I think you need to disable settings such as these to be able to successfully OC. For example (X38):
D.O.T. Control = disabled
Intel EIST = disabled
C1E = disabled

OCZ 4GB 800MHz DDR2 PlatinumXTC (OCZ recommend 5-4-4-15 latency but i have those setting in auto and latency atm is 6-6-6-18, problem?)
I think trying auto is ok. Then raise memory voltage in increments. Try also setting FSB:DRAM to auto and see what happens.

MSI Hawk HD5770 Crossfire voltage/overclocking problems.

Hi everyone. This is my first post ever on a technical forum.
I've been playing around with the MSI Hawk 5770 video cards recently and I have some questions/concerns. I am running the new Catalyst 10.4 drivers without CCC installed and overclocking using MSI Afterburner. I have voltage altering unlocked (I think: Unlock voltage control checked in the properties and changed in the .cfg file) and have been able to overclock the cards to 950/1250 on stock voltages. I run Kombuster to test stability and I'm wondering, does GPU-Z read voltages correctly for these cards? No matter what I set the voltage to, GPU-Z reads 1.000v in the sensor tab.
I've been unable to break 1290MHz memory clock speeds and I'm not sure if it's because the cards I have just can't go higher or if the voltages aren't changing appropriately. When I set the memory clock to 1300 or higher, my system will freeze/hang (not crash mind you) within 5 seconds to 3 minutes of running Kombuster.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Clarification: When the freezes/hangs happen, there is not a temperature problem. Haven't seen temps above 72C during stress tests and nothing over ~70C before a freeze/hang.

MOVED: MSI X58A-GD65 Overclock Problem

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141883.0

I bought the MSI X58A-GD65 because I am a complete moron who wanted a hardware Easy Switch.
It works really well,but I was pissed when I noticed that my 12GB's of RAM was no longer recorgnized. Only showed 8GB's..............
So I set the Easy Switch to deafualt ( 133 ) and decided to overclock the CPU and tweak the RAM.
I just read every forum where people had problems w/ various settings, and since I only want 3.2GHz w/ 12GB's of RAM @1.4v it was a walk in the park.
Clearing the CMOS after a day of torturing myelf and committing Human errors,I easily was able to simply undervolt the RAM from the 1.65v default,and raise the 133 default setting up by a factor of 5 and rebooting.
So this is my first OVerclocking experience and MSI seems like a worthy board..
I use this to perform hardware and virtual musical synths and instruments 6 nights a week.
Since I cam from a solid 32bit DAW that ran 100% for 3 yerars,I didn't upgrade, but actually did an entire new rebuild since I wasn't sure ofthe stability in x64.
But this DAW has worked for days on end now flawlessley.

GeForceFX 5200 tdr-128 overclock problems

I have a msi k7n2 mobo with the last drivers (nforce2) and bios, I'm runing my msi GeForceFX 5200 tdr-128 with the last drivers and bios too on windows xp sp1 with the last updates, the system is runing perfectly with no problems at all, but when I try to overclock my video card using that D.O.T (dynamic overclock tecnology) my windows looks up with memory blow , the mostpowerfull option is commander, with 275 mhz on 3d core clock (250 by default) and 440 mhz on memory (400 by default) the 2d clock stay the same. But I can overclock my 3d clock up to 295mhz with no problems but if I put more 5mhz on memory clock the system loocks up in 30-45 min .
WHY CANT I OVERCLOCK MY DAMN MEMORY CLOCK???
The msi site says it is full compatible with the D.O.T and I'm using a MSI MOBO dammit
And yes... I have a cooler on the video card, and left 2 side cooler on my cpu case (1 on the dual memory and 1 on the video card) plus 2 back exaust and a vulcano 9 on my athlon 2.4 xp.
what can I do???
I think maybe the sollution it is the raise the agp voltage but im afraid

40MHz on your ram is quite large anyways, and if you dont have ram-sinks on your VGA card (both sides) that might be a good solution, also stock cooling on the GPU with large increasements is not a good idea. I would not overclock the 5200 card anyways your taking a risk of blowing something up for no performace increase that card is pretty much all budget there is not much helping that card sorry.
