875p, I CANT LOCK my PCI / AGP Frequency using FAST,TURBO, or ULTRA

i have an 875p neo. i am one setting away from loving this mainboard(finally). i have a 2.8ghz running at 3.0 (with a 1:1 FSB/RAM). i can run stable in TURBO MODE, with "timings by SPD". i am using 1.7 bios (1.8 gives me lower performance). i tried all the bios from 1.4 and up. my problem is I CANT LOCK MY AGP/PCI frequency. no matter what, it boots up in windows as 70/35, but only when using FAST,TURBO,or ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODE. my agp/pci frequency locks fine at 66/33(67/34) if i run in SLOW MODE, but any other performance mode setting overclocks the AGP PCI frequency to 70/35. this causes my ATI 9700np to freeze almost instantly while playing any game. luckily my ATI card has unlocked bios or the problem would be worst. i have been using CLOCKGEN to throw the settings back to 66/33 when windows loads, and i get no freezes. BUT I WANT A PERMANENT FIX MSI. not a CLOCKGEN patch. my question to you all out there:
IS THERE A particular BIOS THAT I CAN USE THAT will LOCK THE PCI/AGP FReQUENCY while using FAST,TURBO, and ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODES? or another way to lock the setting in the bios?any suggestions? thanks
EDIT 2:
i just remembered, i forgot to tell you all. my agp/pci lock works fine if i run my ram in 333mhz mode. i have 400mhz ram. i was a running 1:1 ratio. agp/pci doesnt lock only if i use "auto" or "400mhz" settings. it run fine when i have my ram set to run at 333mhz. are you runnig at 400mhz or 333mhz? if 333mhz i can see why i left you guys confused...sorry.

WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO USE THE GHETTO FIX FOR NOW:
(i am assumming this is an ATI CARD only PROBLEM)
download clockgen and install it. check your AGP/PCI frequency. if it reads  70/35 then you have a problem, which will cause your ATI card to freeze up during a period of use.
unlock your cards bios(if it's not already unlocked). this will allow room for the 70/35 AGP/PCI frequency overclock. get info from rage3d.com forum on how to unlock your  ATI card.
make your clockgen settings startup when windows boot, @***ghz, 66/33 agp/pci(read the clockgen instructions on how to run clockgen on boot)
download radclocker and install it.
set the AGP core/mem clock speeds to what you desire. then bump down the core TWO NOTCHES, then the memory down TWO NOTCHES then click "use current" bios button. 70/35 boot overclock pushes your ATI core/memory up two notches, so by setting radclocker 2 notches , radclocker takes the 70/35overclock two nothes lower. you have your desired speed. then clockgen throws your agp/pci frequency back to 66/33....which makes everything work right. it all boots in the right order for me.
explaination:
when windows starts it boots your agp/pci frequency@ 70/35. you need to be at 66/33 AGP/pci frequency for your ati card to run correct and not lock up after intense gameplay. radclocker underclock your card.clockgen puts your agp/pci to 66/33 AGP/PCI frequency.

  • MSI K8T Neo2 - Problem with AGP frequency...

    Hi there.
    I am a proud(?) owner of the K8T Neo2 motherboard. This is the "pro" version, with the supposedly working AGP lock. But it is not working at ALL.
    If I set the AGP frequency to 66, my computer wont boot. With or without overclock, it just wont boot. I have the latest BIOS, the 3.3 version, still - nothing.
    I really want to overclock some, but an FSB of ~215 (preferably below if I want it to be stable in windows) is as far as I can go.
    Please tell me if there is any way I can fix this. Please tell me that I've missed some important BIOS setting and it will all work out for the best. 
    My other hardware include a 360W chieftek PSU, a radeon 9800 pro and a winchester 3500+.

    Thanks for the reply, I'm glad to hear that it is working for someone atleast, this gives me hope.
    I tried following your tips. Loading optimized defaults was easy enough, it is the other things im not so sure about.
    You said to "then disable the Onboard components you don't need". My question, are these onboard components found in the bios under "Integrated Peripherals"?
    I'm not exactly sure what I can enable and disable, because im not very experienced.
    Besides my other hardware as you saw above, I have a "Maxtor 160GB SATA DiamondMax Plus9".
    I tried to disable some "PATA" option in the BIOS, but it didnt find my harddrive after that. This is why I'm confused and not sure what to disable (I thought I could disable the PATA since I have SATA, im clueless).
    Also, when I boot it says, "No drive attached to fasttrack controller". What this means, I have no idea.
    Update: So far in the menu i've disabled the 1394 controller, because I dont use firewire.
    I also disabled something that was set to "RAID". I could set it to SATA, but I disabled that aswell. After doing this I still cant set AGP frequency to 66 and boot.
    Update2: Now I disabled the serial and parallel ports, but I still cant boot with my AGP frequency at 66.

  • KT880 DELTA & PCI/AGP Lock ?

    I read some article about KT880 DELTA and there was written, it has PCI/AGP lock .. is it right ? If yes, which setting in BIOS is it ?
    thx for any answer

    I have heard this board will have that feature, but I cannot confirm it. If it does have the PCI/AGP lock, it would be the first VIA chipset to include this feature.
    I would think it could be found in the "Frequency and Voltage" section of BIOS.

  • Locked PCI/AGP

    I have the K7N2-Delta L. Is the PCI/AGP bus speed locked automatically or do I have to change settings for these items in bios?  I oc'd fsb to 200Mhz w/333Mhz ram runs good but Ghost Recon has graphic noise bars and blips in sound when I run it.  I have faster memory on way soon (400Mhz) and video card is slightly oc'd by 25Mhz on Core and Memory.  I guess my memory is causing these problems right? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated gonna knock back oc'ing till I get faster memory, just wanted to experiment.

    Yea, It's the RAM. I just ran Memtest86+ and got errors on test 5.   I've RMA'd a 512 MB stick back to Kingston, expecting replacement next week. I must say I really get a buzz with this oc'ing.  I believe with 400Mhz ram I could run steady with my 2500+ Barton CPU set at 200Mhz FSBx2 no problem maybe even a little more. I might even be able to increase the multiplier a bit more to tweak out a little more speed from cpu. It'd be great to bet 12.5x 200 at 2500Mhz.        I believe I got a good cpu for oc'ing can take the heat (oh yea, I'm replacing Tt Silent Boost fan with 92MM H/S fan at I believe 81 CFM's @ 3600 RPM's( instead of 27.5 CFM's @ ~2500  RPM's).  Noise doesn't bother me, I'm deaf in one ear anyways. I just want to push my system to edge of envelope (so to speak).   Actually I'm cheap, I want a 3200+ at 2500+ prices.

    Yeah, the agp is not working and I've tried just about everything. I've flashed the bios with an update and all that crap. I know the agp bus isn't locked because the system does not boot at any htt above ~220 mhz and if it does boot it is very unstable and crashes. And, when I oc in windows, agp disables itself with high ocs. There was one time when the agp somehow stayed locked and I was able to run solid at 2.5 ghz. I have no idea how it stayed locked and it should be able to stay locked with the 66 MHZ AGP LOCK selected in the bios.
    I haven't contacted msi yet because I've had the worst experience with tech support. Seems like they all just got out of kindergarten or something and were programmed to say "destructive reformat" for any question you gave them. "Hi, how do I manually install video drivers?" "INSERT YOUR LEGAL WINDOWS XP DISK AND RUN A DESTRUCTIVE REFORMAT." "Hi, I have conceived a worm thanks to windows awesome seccurity flaws." "DESTRUCTIVE REFORMAT."

  • 648 max pci/agp optinn

    Dear Sir,
    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
    P.S. Logic 300W
    Win 98SE & WinXp
    My 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.
    2nd problem is
    The DMI of this board which report wrong information either by your included DMI program or by any other software like Sandra Software for the following items:
    1- Supported memory types: Standard, Fast Page, Edo, Parity, ECC, SiMM         ( supports 184-pin unbuffered DDR DIMM without ECC, manual page 1-2)
    2- Supported memory voltage: 3.3V         (2.5v manual page. 2-5)
    3- Number of memory slots: 4 slots         ( There are only 3 slots)
    4- PCI slots: 5                                       ( There are 6 slots)
    5- ISA slots: 2                                       (There is no ISA slots on this Board)
                                                            Faithfully,
                                                                    Mar.

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU PCI/AGP divider

    Hey,
    I'm using the overclocking features on the board, but i can't find the PCI/AGP adjustment in the BIOS, any body know what i can do??
    I'm using the latest BIOS which is 5.6
    Cheers

    Ah, now thats what i've been told but according to Sisoft Sandra my AGP is 86Mhz and PCI is 43Mhz so itdon't look like its kicked in.
    Any advice, do i have a dodgy board?

  • MSI 760Gm-P21(FX) PCI-E Frequency problem

      I'm having difficulties maintaining a constant PCI-E frequency. AMD Overdrive always shows it to be 60Mhz (and It should be 100Mhz - if I'm not mistaken). Always - meaning at any BIOS settings - overclocked, underclocked and/or 'Optimized Default'.
      So I got a letter from MSISupport saying basically that PCI-E frequency on my board is in fact proportional to HTLink frequency. Then I overclocked NB Frequency from 2000 to 2020 hence HTlink frequency went from 2000Mhz to 2020Mhz and fortunately got a reading of 101Mhz by AMD Overdrive.
      Now it's all good exept for the fact that I can't overclock the system for gaming (by raising FSB and lowering HTlink and\or NB Freqency) sinse Htlink being set to anything other than 2020Mhz (giving me PCI-E Freqency of constant 101Mhz) - is for some reason set to 60Mhz.
      Another thing that really concerns me is the fact that you can completely damage the videocard if PCI-E is set above the default 100Mhz. To add - you can really see the difference between 60Mhz and 101Mhz while playing the latest games (which is why to begin with I buit my PC).
    Here's my PC:
    AMD Athlon x3 450 (3.2Ghz overclockable to 3.6)
    MSI 760Gm-P21(FX)
    2x2Gb Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz (overclockable to 1600Mhz @1.6)
    Sapphire Radeon HD7770 (OC)
    250 Seagate 7200RPM 2.5"HDD (SATA)
    Coolermaster Extreme Power Plus 600 PSU (160fps on OCCT PSU test)

    well it says in the bios menu 'version 17.12' - on the download page it's called H.C.
    oki, its right one, but i noted that H.D official is already out:
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/760GM-P21--FX-.html#/?div=BIOS

    and what would be the point of flashing it if it won't add the PCI-E control?
    it may help with OCing eventually, its for your review. if don't want dont try it

  • [P43 Neo-F] No Pci-e Frequency option in BIOS??

    Hi..
    I am using a MSI P43 Neo F Board(MS-7519).
    Now I am facing the FSB Wall problem of this board and the only solution I have found is to increase Pci-e frequency to 104 as suggested by the main topic about this problem on this forum. But the problem is that there is no pci-e frequency option in my bios. Bios is latest as confirmed by live update software but there is no such option.
    Can anyone help me on that?why is that I have the same model but not the same options??

    Quote from: Adiel on 13-April-11, 04:02:00
    You have not used P43 Neo F I suppose, that mobo does not go above 400 or 415 fsb, search the internet, its a common problem, and the only solution is the one i posted. But why is that the bios of my mobo does not have this option??
    Its most likely because the parts are not the same and even if they were they wouldn't work the same.
    Like he mentioned already, it works for some and not for others. Its a fickle thing, it isn't a matter of "oh hes better so it works" its more like "his CPU's die isn't as f-ed up as yours is". Something along those lines.

  • Video display driver for Trident Cyber9525DVD PCI/AGP (W98.23)

    I am having problems finding a suitable (generic) driver for my video card. I'm installing Solaris 8 for Intel on an Acer Travelmate 330T laptop with a Trident Cyber9525DVD PCI/AGP (W98.23) display adapter. The installation was successful but it just couldn't get into the CDE. Could anybody help me? Thanks.

    Hi:
    See if this driver works.  If it doesn't, you will need to install a 64 bit operating system if you want to run windows 7.
    I know this driver works for the Celeron N processors, but I don't know if it will work with the Pentium N processors.

  • Neo2 Platnium can't not install OS in Raid 0 ; agp frequency 66 or 67 ?

    1. just bought a neo2 plat. to replace my old k7n2 delta ilsr motherboard, plug 2 Raptor in sata3 & 4,
    set NV raid, stripe, 64k, add 2 hard drive in,
     boot from xp disk, press F6, S, insert flopy disk, press Enter, choose NV Raid, press S again, choose NV storage..,
    Enter, then black screen, tried over 10 times, still same thing, Enabled everything about sata 3&4 in BIOS,
    i did try install the OS in single hard drive, and everything works fine,(everything was pull out from my old system)
    2. when overclocking, the AGP frequency should be set 66 or 67?
    3. how to set Ram & fsp ratio in Bios
     please help me out, thanks in advance!

    Make sure both drives are wiped clean for foreign data/raid whatever .
    I had simular problems with one disk , it had "old" leftover raid data stored on it .
    OS install crashed .
    Had to wipe the problem drive clean first connected as a single drive by creatings single partition and format it , then placed it in raid and create array .
    And OS install with create partition and format went okay after that.
    And don't forget to use the (B) to set them as bootable in the raidbios before exiting .
    Another approach is to set them up at sata port 1/2 , install OS , make everything
    of drivers and os settings finished .
    Then move the raid disks to sata 3/4 .

  • Cant LOCK system preferences

    Cant LOCK system preferences: File Sharing, Network, startup disk, date&time, time machine, energy saver, print&fax
    I can LOCK : security, accounts login, parental control
    no rhyme or reason. any help would be appreciated.

    If you are using an Admin account for your daily-Use account, that is a problem.
    The Admin can unlock and bypass nearly everything, so these things will not stay locked for your Admin account.
    To protect these items from others, you need to create a new Admin account that you will use ONLY for Administration (such as installing software) and use it to demote your daily-use account to a non-Admin account. then things that are locked will stay locked, and others who wander by your computer will not be able to unlock them.
    PS. Others in your household should each have their own "User" (not Admin) account. Then you can add additional restrictions with Parental Controls.

  • PCI/AGP Divider

    Hi,
    I need a confirmation, is the PCI/AGP divider always 3 no matter what the fsb is? Or is it 4 over 133fsb?
    Or is it related to memory divider (and how)?
    It is for 645 Ultra version 1 MS-6547.
    Many thanks.

    Check in the BIOS if you can change it, considering the mobo you have I think you can't change it (I can't with my 850 MS-6545) and thus it will stay at 1/3.
    A moderator at this forum told me it will automaticly change when the FSB reaches 133MHz, though. Pity, I'm not able to test that because my PSU can't supply enough power (probably not enough Amperes on the +12V line) to raise the Vcore to 1.7V. That's why my processor refuses to even POST at 120*20=2.4GHz. Because of that the PCI/AGP are running way to high (pci almost 40MHz) which caused my HD to corrupt some windows files and even lose a (empty) partition.
    So, check whether you can change it manually, or try to make the big leap at once. Just be sure to up the Vcore enough, or you won't even POST

  • PCI/AGP Clocks?

    Ok,I don't quite understand the way to tell how the PCI/AGP clocks can be monitored or obtained.
    Here is my set up:AMD Barton 333FSB set to 172x13=2238MHz.I run 1 gig of Hyper-X(just purchased)PC-3200 at PC2700 speeds(333 due to the 333 CPU).The RAM runs at 1:1 at 172MHz with timings 2.0/3/3/7
    I can not run FSB at 200 and can not clock beyond 175MHz FSB without getting ATI error.I assume that the AGP clock is going too high.Can someone tell me how to caculate the correct FSB and Multiplier to get a safe AGP clock?

    Quote from: Grayone on 03-June-05, 03:33:47
    Hi,
    I read somewhere, not quite certain where, that the KT6 has a agp/pci divider that changes over at about 190 fsb.  I had no problems running my board up to 200fsb and the agp bus runs at 67 mhz.
    I just tried to to set FSB to 200 with a multi of 9 to be safe.No post.I had to clear CMOS.How in the world are you getting that 1800 to use 200FSB?When I first built this system,I was told by several users to set FSB to 200.I am still unable to get it to post at 200.I went as high as 185 but seemed to get unstable so I clocked it down.No dynamic over clock or spectrum on either 
    Can you please tell me what program you are using to monitor the PCI MHz?I just downloaded PC Wizard 2005 hoping it would tell me.It has alot of very good information but no PCI/AGP bus stats.

  • PCI/AGP Clock

    Anyone out there who knows some software which can measure the PCI/AGP clock on an AMD64 based board.
    Cheers!

    Nice, thanks.
    I checked that one out, but I saw no version for the K8T Master so I disregarded it. I'll try the ASUS one right away.
    Edit:
    Tried it out and played around with all the values I can find in the BIOS but no matter what I do or what I raise/lower the PCI and AGP clock stays at 33/66 MHz.
    Even the setting, Autodetect PCI clock, doesn't affect anything I can see.
