890FXA-GD70 bios settings for my Ram

good day to all, just bought this board and I'm wondering where should i set the base timings for my RAM? where should i put this timings manually 8-8-8-24? i know i have to enter the dram configuration in the bios now i dont know where to continue, sorry just a newbie here , tnx.

How about providing information for your system. It's impossible to say what any RAM settings should be not having a clue what RAM you have. See my signature below for the type of information to provide.

KT3V bios settings for Kingston333DDR Ram

Hi all,
I have bought a new RAM Kingston 333 DDR CL2.5 but i do not know the best performance settings from Bios. So can anyone tell me the settings for MSI KT3V bios to increase my performance. I am using a Athlon XP2000+ Cpu.
Thanks all.

Nobody knows? ?(

Suggested K8T Neo BIOS settings for CL 3 Kingston Value RAM

G'evening!
I'll be putting together a system with the Athlon 64 3000 and K8T Neo board and had a question about optimal BIOS settings for paired Kingston non-ECC DDR 3200 RAM (2x512mb) that's CAS 3. Should have gotten some CAS 2.5 probably but this is what I have for now so in it goes. I'm reading the quick users guide and noticed that you can manipulate the CAS, TCRD, TRAS, and TRP.
First question: Will the board's auto detect do a good job in picking out a stable configuration?
2nd question: If you had to or wanted to make manual settings, what would you suggest? The CAS value is rather easy since I guess it should be set to 3 but what settings would one pick for the others?
And if I still have your attention...
The other things that will be going in the system are the infamous Maxtor 120 gig SATA HD, a XFX 5900FX video card, Lite-On combo burner. Powersupply is an Antec Solution Series 400W PS. After reading the forums for a bit I get the impression that you shouldn't forget to load the SATA Promise drivers so the HD will get recognized. My SATA drive will be the only drive in the system and will of course be the boot drive. Any other possible pitfalls or problems I should know about with the Maxtor SATA's and the K8T Neo board?
Also, I had thought I read from a review that the Zalman Al-Cu CPU heatsink/fan will fit on this board. Of course after seeing it in my hands for the first time I thought that it was a pretty damn big heatsink. Anyone else using this heatsink? (haven't taken it out of the packaging yet so that's why I wanted some impressions).
Thanks for any advice you can give me. It's been a bit of time since I built a computer and I'm sure there's alot of basic things I'm relearning along with the fact that the Athlon 64 is fairly new technology. On the other hand, when it's running smoothly...

Cant offer anything on the Timing, (sorry as I am Intel Fodder ), But I can assure you that the Zalman 7000-AlCu, Will Indeed Fit onto your Motherboard (With Room To Spare!) :biggthumbsup:I can attest to this because My buddy just installed the Zalman 7000-AlCu on his K8T ....And He loves it! As do I ....It's about the only thing that we have in common as far as PC'S Go .........Sean REILLY875

IMPORTANT Technical Information RE: 890FXA-GD70 - BIOS/Memory/Boot-UP Issues

I have been having the same problem (see my post...user 'n9nu') as many others have and I have been researching this problem for a month now and come across a few important pages on other web-sites that address this very problem. While I have not read over 100 percent of them completely, they all pertain specifically to these situations with several users being able to resolve their issue(s) with the following sources. Several of the posts mention the instability with a few of the BIOS versions (1.8 and 1.9), so read up on these as well.

http://www.computerforum.com/179382-msi-mobo-help.html - More BIOS 'FF' issues
The above references are just several posts that discuss and in some cases alleviate problems with this motherboard. Upon trying one of the more popular methods to attempt a boot-up, I successfully booted in BIOS bypassing that rude 'FF' BIOS code....however the happiness was short lived as I configured some settings in the BIOS and when I restart was presented with the FF again.
The method I used was to place one (1) stick of DDR3 memory in memory slot 4 (the furthest away from the processor) and was kinda surprised that it worked....and while happy, I didn't hold my breath.
I have BIOS version 1.9 currently installed and have been noticing many problems with that particular release, so I will be attempting to re-flash the BIOS to either 1.7 to bypass some of the other issues being reported or try version 1.8 again. I will keep on posting when I receive further information or come across a sure fix for this (a user oriented fix that is)...otherwise, it is going back for another RMA.
I am working with someone that I know that tricks out BIOS code in order to enhance/unlock/fix them and he is presently looking at it using the exact same hardware that I am to try and find out just what the exact issue(s) are and how to resolve them. This, of course, has nothing to do with MSI, but rather an attempt by someone who programs these for a living just to see whats what.

After spending 12-14 hours on the problem i can now safely give a detailed report of the problem
Disregard what i said before as they were just symptoms of another problem
It boots 100% stable if DIMM slots 1 2 and 3 are empty
it does not matter the make or model of the ram in slot 4 but the system boots and works flawlessly.
I ran extensive tests with prime 95 and memory tests. It works flawlessly in this configuration.
As soon as a stick of ram goes into any other slot either singular or dual channel the board does a rapid boot cycle
this constant power on and off if left too long corrupts the bios settings
bios setting problem is rectified by putting one stick of ram into dimm 4 and letting it reset itself in a stable enviorment
also while the system is stable i used the MSI software to check all the voltages and everything appeared normal
However
if i make the system boot with standard memory configuration such as one in DIMM 1 or 1+2 i get odd voltage readings
(extremely unstable if im lucky enough to get it to boot)
the NB voltage quickly fluctuates between 1.15 and 1.7+ every min or so like if there are micro spikes in voltage
While this happens the 2 lights next to the slots indicating i believe the dram power phase blink
But
When i only put a ram stick into DIMM 4 only one light for the powerphase is lit and it is stable
So this so far is not a corrupt BIOS chip to me but rather a symptom of another problem
I have another CPU coming in the mail tommorow I will test it out along with a few other boards
a 1090T
2 890fxa-gd70's and some others
If i have a hardware problem it will surely be singled out
I will find out what the problem is with this board and post my result.
If anyone has any suggestions to make this board work please comment

Default Bios Settings for RS480MS-IL2

Hi all
I am just wondering if there is some hidden key that loads some Default Bios Settings for this board? I know there is an Optimized Settings option, but i haven't seen a Default one.
I am using version bios version 3.8
Thanks.

have you tried a better psu
a 128 mb ram consumes around around 8 to 10 watts
http://www.blueowltechnologies.com/pmConsumption.asp
volts x amps =watts
3.3v feeds ram
so at most you have 46 watts on a good day

Best BIOS settings for Kt3 Ultra2 and Geforce4?

Hi,
Can someone tell me what the best BIOS settings would be for my KT3 Ultra2 running a Geforce4 ti4200?
I get crappy scores in 3dMark2001 SE and I have the infamous stuttering/crashing problems in 3D games. I've tried pretty much every configuration of settings and drivers I can think of.
I saw on these forums that the Kt3 Ultra2 can be a bit fussy with GF4 cards. If someone could post the best BIOS settings for performance and stability I'd be eternally grateful.
Alternatively, email me at [email protected] with them.
Thanks in advance

How do you mean? If your CPU is correctly recognised, and operates at its native speed of 2.3ghz, then you're getting the most out of it.
Does your system work without issues? Does it do everything you require of it, and do it well?
If yes, and yes, then stop fretting and enjoy your system, instead of trying to look for problems that aren't there.
Of course, if you want to try and push your system further, then you'll have to start overclocking. But we have a whole seperate area for that here, and you should post your questions there.

Bios Settings For MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum MB

Hello all... Has anyone came up with the best and most stable bios settings for the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum motherboard yet. Specifically under the CPU and Memory menus.
If anyone has seen any, please post them. or post a link.
Thanks

Well that depends on the installed CPU and memory, doesnt it? So I find that question kinda odd.
One thing though: Dont use Cool n Quiet.

Need more information pertaining to the issue at hand, does the PC have problems booting or stability issues or does it run no problems at all?
From whats in your sig it seems you have some OCZ unless that is incorrect? What is the issue at hand?
For dual channel, put the two sticks of ram into color matched DIMM's closest to the CPU, 1&2 for AMD boards as far as I know.

890FXA-GD70 bios update via Live Updat & now won't load windows...help pls

Hi There
First off, please excuse the fact that I am not very experienced with the tech aspects of a home build (which this is & I bought off the builder), or any build for that matter..
I was getting a 'keyboard/interface' press f1 to continue error message, when I started my computer, along with most of the usb ports not working when windows 7 ultimate (64) sp1 (build 7601) loads.
Otherwise it was working fine..
So I deceided to follow the instructions of the Live Update tool & used the total installer to update the bios from American Megatrends V1.10 06/30/2011 to the latest bios. I know now that wasn't very wise (why is it even an option if it can do soooo much harm?).
After it updated the bios there was a question (which I don't recall of course), something about ROM I think and not being the same, with 3 choices to correct it and I'm pretty sure I went with the 1st option for it to be corrected.
So now when I turn the computer on it starts loading everything (I can get in to the bios setup), right after it shows the windows logo it flashes a blue screen with some type on it & goes to windows startup repair which of course doesn't help & tries to do a system recovery which also doesn't work.
I don't want to do any more damage by fiddling around with things I know little about.
I was encouraged to read in one of the post answers that if it gets to the point where Windows goes to load than the mobo is ok...hopefully!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Specs: (Copied from a Belarc Advisor scan)

Hopefully that is the required info on the specs.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

yes the BIOS controls the CMOS from that User interface with all the settings menus!
and yes its in there where you can see what Drive mode its set at!
if its using the older style BIOS like my board has and not a UEFI then in this heading set:
1: go into your BIOS (press Delete)
2: Integrated Perifirals
3: On-Chip ATA Devices
4: Raid Mode <--- the options for that should be in there if its the same and may have been set to IDE mode before the update but may be set to AHCI now after you flashed the BIOS via live update which is more then likely why your getting a BSOD as it in the wrong operating mode!

890FXA-GD70 BIOS Recovery Requested.

Hello Forum
I just put together a brand new system using the 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard and I have serious problems.
Occasionally the system will freeze and crash.
I will tell my story in order of how this began and all steps I have performed
While in the bios I attempted to change my boot order. As soon as I changed the device the bios froze. I started the computer back up
No screen input.
Reset button does nothing. System does nothing.
After about 10 reboots with bios resetting and such I eventually got a message
“BIOS Recovery Requested” insert USB…
I tried to reboot a few times
Sometimes I would get the bios recovery requested message
Most times I would get nothing
Eventually I inserted a CF card with a bios image on it
Exact bios image on the MSI site without changing the file name
The system would scroll the BIOS recovery message over and over until it rebooted
Said it disabled recovery just before it shut down
The machine now boots fine up till I need to start windows and it does not
So I restart and go through the whole problem over again and this time I restore the bios using the built in flash utility in the BIOS I believe its MFLASH
After the flash and a bios settings reset, windows boots but the whole problem starts over again after trying to do something intensive.
So I re do everything as this is becoming normal procedure dealing with the system freezing in windows or in the bios (randomly in the bios nothing specifically triggers it)
(everything as in reboot the system till I get the recovery message put the flash card in and wait till it disables recovery go into bios and re-flash it)
My last step was I flashed a fresh bios with MFLASH
and then did a memory test with microsofts ram test software outside of windows. That froze about 7% in and caused the system to beep non stop.
And I’m back to start. System does not boot, get the bios recovery message if I’m lucky.
No over-clocking is setup and I use optimal (Auto) settings.
All problems occurs with either ram stick either paired or alone
Here is my equipment
Motherboard : MSI 890FXA-GD70
CPU : AMD|PH II X6 1100T 3.3G AM3 With OEM Heatsink and fan
PSU : CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W
RAM : 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GB
HD : WD Black SATA 2 1TB 7200RPM 32MB cache
Video Card : GeForce 7950 512 mb with PCI-E power conencted
OS : Windows 7 Pro 64 (legit fresh install)
Other Details
USB keyboard Merc Stealth , Microsoft USB Intili Mouse , Internal 5 Port USB cardreader,
Liteon USB cdrom drive
Monitor is a 52 inch LCD TV using DVI input on a 25 foot cord on max video card resolution when permited 1080
Im guessing this is not a ram or cpu problem but the bios chip may be defective and when the system loses the bios it freezes
otherwise why would i get bios checksum errors and recovery prompts after each freeze.
Please advise this is brand new and i should not have something defective this soon.

After spending 12-14 hours on the problem i can now safely give a detailed report of the problem
Disregard what i said before as they were just symptoms of another problem

Ideal BIOS Settings for online gaming

this is my 1st computer that i built. i have a lot of experience in wiring high-end electronics, so wiring this little rig with barely any visible wires/cables was a breeze. I bought the processor/mobo with the intention of only doing minor O/C as i dont really know all that much on the hardware side of improving performance. with that said, i've searched for timings and settings for my specific combination, and i cant find any. again, i dont really want to push the config past a safe level, as i will be selling this machine when the 64's come down in price. can someone help me set the proper frequencies/timings? i have a lot to learn, and even in the normal bios settings i don't know if certain things should be enabled or disabled for my main purpose, which is to simply play 3D online games very fast. i will be changing out the GeforceFX5200 PCI for a 5600 AGP in a week or so. I'm noticing that my old Comcrap PIII 1.0Ghz w/512SDRAM with this video card gets just as good a ping ingame as this rig does. the machine starts quickly, runs offline programs quickly, but online it isnt as fast as i'd hoped. from what i've read in the other forums, there are many settings in the bios that are enabled by default that don't need to be. can someone help me decipher which settings are useful and which are not. i loosely understand some of the settings but if someone could help with the questions below and/or do a walkthru for bios geared toward gaming i'd really appreciate it. The machine runs very cool (CPU 104*F/SYS 93*F) but i dont know what else needs adjustment. I simply want to make this machine go as fast and as hard as it can with the right config. i don't want to unlock the processor yet or do anything else major at this point.
1: Best yet safe Voltage for my processor and RAM
2: FSB clock; 133 or 166? had problems @ 200
3: S.M.A.R.T. on or off?
4: Best IRQ/PCI slot for video card
5: "GoodMEM" utility: how much should i safely allot?
6: Video BIOS Cacheable?
7: Multiplier setting for K7N2DeltaL & XP2600+
8: VGA Aperture (my card is 128MB but PCI. upgrading soon)
i'll be learning more as i go along, so i dont really need a full explanation of what's what, lol THIS TIME. all i need is a rundown where someone tells me what to leave alone, and what to change for a very fast yet safe gaming rig

OK I'm officially confused.
I bought the retail boxed AthlonXP2600+, which clearly states on the packaging "With 333 MHZ Frontside Bus". i bought the board over others, one reason being it supported 400MHz FSB. I go into "Advanced Chipset Features" and when i set the "System Performance" to "Manual", i can then go into the "CPU FSB Clock" settings, but the max it will allow me to go to is 233MHz (which won't boot and i have to flip the jumpers. when i had set it to 200MHz before, it failed to boot as well... PLEASE can someone look over these settings and tell me the OPTIMAL settings for taking this combo as fast as it can go w/o overclocking? What am i doing wrong? what multiplier do i need to be at. I'm under the impression that the combo works best when the clock speed of the board is at the same speed as the processor. here are the BIOS settings with which i need advice:
ADV. BIOS

I do currently have a PCI GeForceFX5200 8o, but im getting an AGP FX5600 this week. i know my card has nothing to do with AGP, but i've left most of the AGP settings alone since i'll be using it later. is this creating a bottleneck or tying up system memory to have it this way for now?

Change your user config mode in dram configuration to manual and change your memory timing to 1T. The 1T setting will speed up your memory slightly.

BIOS settings for a AMD 2100+ in K7N2 Delta ILSR

Hi can some one tell me what i set the bios settings too for a AMD 2100+ and PC3200 DDR ram in the bios of a K7N2 Delat ILSR.
I dont want to over clock the system just run it at the stock speeds.
Cheers

set FSB to 133 and FSB/Dram ratio to 1:1 you will be underclocking your ram but you will get more peformance running in sync

I've read AMD's recommendations for the KT4V BIOS settings http://www.amdforums.com/showindex.php?s=&threadid=186506 , but they seem to be very generic. I would like to know the settings that would give me the highest performance, without causing any instability, using my present system and usage. My son does 3D animation and gaming on this computer. This is a stand alone computer (no network). The latest version BIOS for the KT4V offers an option in Power Management Features to enable CPU HALT Command Detection. I heard that this would work better than Cooler XP in cooling the CPU. I enabled it and my CPU Temp dropped 6-10 degrees C. Is this recommended? What is the down side of this action? My system is as follows: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ w/ Vantec VA4-C7040 CPU fan (w/Arctic Silver 3) MSI KT4V mobo Gainward Golden Sample Ti/450 TV w/ 128MB DDR (GeForce3 Ti 200) 2 - Kingston 512MB PC2700 DDR RAM Antec TRUE550 power supply 1 - 40GB 7200RPM hard drive 1 - 30GB 5400RPM hard drive 1 - CD-ROM 1 - CD-RW 1 - floppy drive Windows XP home Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Barry

As a result of my research, these are the BIOS settings that I am using. My computer runs well and is stable.
