945P Platinum (MS-7176) D-Bracket Connector

I've just installed a 945P Platinum.  Upon installing the D-Bracket, I noticed that the connector to JDB1 is not keyed the same as the JDB1 pins on the motherboard - and thus will not connect.  On the motherboard, there is no pin at pin 9 on JDB1, however on the D-Bracket cable connector the "key" (blocked pin) is on pin 10 - and therefore the connector will not fit.
Have I gone nuts or has anyone else seen this issue?  Thanks!

Yes, I'm looking at the one labeled JDB1 - and it looks just like that manual says it should look - with no pin at pin 9.
To me, the problem is the connector from the D-Bracket - where is has pin 10 blocked instead of pin 9.  Since there is a pin 10 on JDB1, it's impossible to connect.  I thought I was nuts and looking at the wrong thing. 
Any ideas - or maybe I just have a bad D-Bracket?
Thanks for the reply!

  • Looking for Bios for MSI 945P Platinum (MS-7176) Version 1.00

      Since the msi site doesn´t let me download the original bios of my motherboard, I was wondering if anyone knew how to download the original bios for this motherboard, or should I just make a backup of my current bios and that´s it?

    because my computer reports that it has version 6 since the last update last year
    There is no such thing as "version 6" for your board.  Whatever info your looking at that tells you something about "version 6" has most likely nothing to do with your actual BIOS Version.  Version 6 probably indicates the AWARD BIOS Code Base used for the BIOS (and if that is the case, it will be version 6 for all BIOS Releases for your board).
    On the Post Screen, look for the string "W7176IMS Vx.y".  The numbers that you will see in the place of X and Y indicate your current BIOS Version.

    And suddenly it started acting weird lately.
    A BIOS does not suddenly become faulty and start acting weird.  If whatever problems you have started to occur only recently and not right after the BIOS Update, these are most probably not BIOS issues.  I strongly suggest to leave the BIOS alone for now (well, find out which version you currently have) and explain the weirdnesses you are facing in more detail.  Looks like they are caused by something else.  Please also provide full system specs. Read the >>Posting Guide<< first.

    And yes, the liveupdate utility just doesn´t work
    Great. It should not be used for BIOS Update anyway because it tends to crash and thereby render systems useless.

  • 945P Platinum IDE 2 & IDE 3 works in PIO MODE?

    Hello there, I just Bought MSI 945P Platinum M/B and Intel Pentium 4 D @2,8Ghz with 1Ghz RAM, 80GB SATA2, 4 CDRW drives (PATA) where 2 of them I plug in to IDE1 slot(known as RAID, but i configured it to IDE function in BIOS) and the others are in IDE2 slot. I used winxp with the all M/B driver installed, everything's seems ok in device manager, the problem is when I use nero for burning with multiple recorder activated, the windows then going extremely slow in any response even with the mouse movement that it seems windows is running out of system memory. Then I check the device manager and I found that IDE2 run in PIO Mode, IDE1 run in UDMA Mode2.
    It didn't make any changes when I used IDE3 slot, it run in PIO MODE either.
    How Can I configured The IDE2 & IDE3 to works in DMA mode? I've try any combination in BIOS Setup... it didn't work??
    HELP, any advice would be appreciated THX...

    PCI Bus Mastering already enabled since the 1st time I configured the bios, I'm using 2 pieces thermaltake IDE round Cable that plugged in to IDE 2 & 3, IDE 1 using cable that came with the board. I'm using 4 LiteOn PATA Writers and Seagate 80Gb SATA2 HDD plugged in SATA1 port.
    1st configuration, 2 writers are in IDE 1 & the others are in IDE 2
    2nd configuration, 2 writers are in IDE 1 & the others are in IDE 3
    3rd configuration, 2 writers are in IDE 2 & the others are in IDE 3
    All above configuration make the same result, IDE 2 & 3 Won't run in DMA mode
    I've try to switch the thermaltake cable to IDE1 and it's work fine (DMA still on).
    It doesn' t matter how I configured the BIOS (SATA to combine, enhanced, or AUTO) IDE2&3 still in PIO Mode.

  • 945P Platinum, memory divider (BIOS)

    First I want to say hello to all users!
    I recently bought MSI 945P Platinum motherboard with Bios v1.3, CPU is Intel Celeron 2.66GHz, 64bit, LGA775, 256mb cache which I intend to replace with some Pentium D in about a month. But until than I tried to overclock CPU but all I achieved is 145*20=2.9GHz (default is 133*20=2.66GHz) Vcore 1.4v, with Kingston VR DDR2 533MHz memory. The thing is that FSB:DRAM is always 1:2, how can I change this in bios? I think that the problem is memory, it wont go more than 580MHz... and if I put FSB at 146 the only solution is CLEAR CMOS.
    I didn`t tried with different bios versions because there are no other versions to download from msi.com.tw.
    P.S. I also tried to set in bios>core cell>memory manual 4-4-4-11 533MHz but nothing happens, I cant change FSB:DRAM from 1:2.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can.
    The o/c method goes like this: Every 1 FSB rised = 2 RAM MHz rised. If your 2.66GHz Celeron is 133 x 20, 133 is the FSB and 20 is the multiplier so your RAMs will be 266 x 2, where 266 is the RAM speed and Double Data Rate 266 will give approx. 533MHz. We'll only take the FSB and the RAM speed here for divider calculation.
    133 : 266 will ratio as 1 : 2. If you want to o/c higher in terms of CPU speed, you can try dropping your RAM speed to 200MHz and rising the FSB to higher clock speed. This will allow the RAM speed to increase as well.

  • 945P Platinum No Manual Bios Download

    Anyone help why MSI took off Manual Bios Downloads for 945P Platinum Version Boards
    I like to Manual Update Board Bios to latest Bios before Loading OS and view current Version releases (without LiveUpdate)
    Also anyone experienced Microphone Problems plugging into Mic Plug (Onboard Realtek 882) all version Sound Drivers
    Low Voice pick up (Skype or Sound Recorder) have to use USB Mic
    Have tested on 10 Different Boards and differnet plug in mics all the same

    Not unusual that bios is removed / greyouted, when there are just the original 1.0 bios and no update versions.
    Have you been able to download newer/later biosversions then the orginial bios before ?
    No clue about the mic-port issue.
    Sometimes separate pci soundcards gives better functionality.

  • 945P Platinum and Pentium D 945

    Did anyone try Intel Pentium D 945 CPU on the 945P Platinum motherboard? Does it work with bios 1.6?

    Quote from: Maesus on 09-March-07, 19:50:58
    oh well, there is no good reason why D 945 is not supported by 945P. Just make sure you have the latest BIOS.
    Once I've seen OK on the CPU Support Page for the Pentium D 915.. Maesus do you think I should try?  ???

  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 to 945P Platinum?

    Hi, i have question.Is possible aplicate processor Q8400 to motherboard 945P platinum?I downloaded the newest BIOS file W7176IMS.230 for 945P platinum, but i didnt find cpu support.Thx a lot.

    >>Posting Guide<<
    Your specific processor does not appear on the CPU support list.
    http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&prod_no=193#menu
    Suggest you contact >>How to contact MSI.<< MSI technical to check if there is any intention to do this. I doubt that they would do any further work on a BIOS on a discontinued MB.

  • 945P Platinum With The MSI NX7950GX2-T2D1GE

    Hey guys,
    Ill be receaving one of these cards shortly, though since ive been out of the whole PC loop for a while now, i only just noticed that on certain motherboards support this card.
    On the list from Nvidia website it states the "945P NEO2-F" as compatible. Though from what i can see, there is no real difference between this board and my "945P Platinum". I know the main issue seems to be 16x PCI Slot, and the bios, so before i receave card, could someone please confirm that this card will work with my motherboard =D hopefully before i receave it as i can still change the card .
    Thanks in advance,
    David.

    Just want to point out too people that the g-card does not accutaly fit into the motherboard -_-, there are two capacitor's near the sata ports that are in the way. Though a bit of electrical tape and removing the bottom bar off the card and it just fits in.
    Also it is working atm, though for some reason am getting rather low scores in 3d-mark06. Scoring around 5.5k when most people even with lower spec'ed systems seem to be scorring in the 8-10k's
    Might just be my setup, but who knows.

  • Problem overclocking my 945P PLATINUM+805D

    hi...
    my english is lack so i'll make it slow
    i just bought the msi 945p platinum with intel dual 805d.
    unfortunally, i cant o/c the system ..
    the bios got no update on msi website so i see it is the latest bios .
    i know that the 805d can be o/c to 3.2 without any over voltage ...as concidered to other motherboards .just by increasing the fsb to 166.
    i am kind of newbie in the terms of o/c .
    i tried to make some adjustments in the corecenter software but the system freezes or get quickly unstable.
    i cant make the fsb on bios ,higher then 165 .default is 133 by the range.
    i put over voltage to the memory ->1.9v .default is 1.8 , and put the fsb to 165...but the system didnt post .
    anyone here can help me please ?

    I also have a D805 and an 945P platinum.
    In fact i manage a 3.3 GHZ stable overclock by using these:
    In BIOS cell menu:
    CPU ratio unlock-unlock
    Memory function sub-menu - Enter, then
    DRAM timing - AUTO (!!!!)
    System memory frequency - auto
    D.O.T.3 Step0 setting - disabled
    Auto Detect PCI clock - Enabled
    Spread Spectrum - Disabled
    CPU fsb frequency - 165 (THIS IS THE MAX THAT MOBO PERMITS AND IT PISSES ME OFF) 
    PCI-e frequency - 115
    CPU voltage - 1.21V (1 step up from normal)
    Memory voltage - 1.8V
    AGP/PCI voltage - 1.5V
    I have to say that i use a ZALMAN 9550 heatsink and a pair of OCZ DDR2/667 dual channel. CPU temp as BIOS shows is 42C
    Also, memory is not overclocked at all !!!
    PSU is a TAGAN 500W
    I am sure that i could go up to 3.6-3.8 GHZ with a board that is more "overclocking" oriented.....
    But alas...i have no other problems (so far) from it

  • Help please, My 945P Platinum p4 640 wont boot properly Orange Light??

    If i turn it on on without the graphics card in i get one long beep then 2 short ones, i think this means monitor or display card error(award bios i think), the d bracket goes right through to initialising floppy drive. as soon as i plug the card in and try the d bracket goes all four red , then straight to 1,red 2,orange???, 3 red, 4 green ive tried another card and different ram.

    jakemon, as you removed the display card, you get long long beep and few shorts one, that means, you're pretty much done with the POST. Everything should have been initialized. Looks like it's something wrong with the card. Do yourself few favours (while I attend other threads )
    1. clear CMOS and give it another try.
    2. Try Google.com to look for any incompatibility between 945P chipset/MSI board and X300 display card
    3. verify that your BIOS is the latest, if not,
    4. flash to the latest BIOS
    5. if BIOS the same, change your power supply to a better one.

  • MSI k8n Neo2 Platinum processor initialization d-bracket radeon 3850

    Hi guys,
    I just bought (from eBay ) a Powercolor HD Radeon 3850 AGP. When I removed my old GeForce 7600 GT and put it on the system didn't start. No beep, no display signal. The D-Bracket was stuck on Processor Initialization stage (11 RED,12 GREEN,21 GREEN, 22 RED). I tried quite a few stuff, like bios upgrade, bios agp settings but same **it  . Please help. Thanks.

    Hi there, thanks for your help. I dont know if it works in another system. I have to try somewhere else tomorrow..Yes it is in the slot 100%. PSU is a Thermaltake Xaser, I don't remember its Wattage, I bought it back in 2004. Maybe 450W?!..Does the Radeon require more power than the 7600GT?They have the same power connector. Do you think anyway that such a new AGP card like Radeon 3850 would work without any tweaks on my system?? I have been reading about the AGP voltages and I am quite confused..My mobo has 1.5V for the AGP but I think I read somewhere that the latest AGP cards work on 0.8V...

  • 945p neo2 MS-7176 (ver 2a1) BIOS

    Hi i have an MSI ms-7176 board. ı am using VISTA ultimate and ı want to update my BIOS because my computer crashed an microsoft sent me a message about the problem. they adviced me to upgrade my bıos version.And i decided to upgrade my bıos.I tried to use your live update 3 software (online and Setup version) but they didnt work properly and they cant upgrade my bıos.After that i tried to upgrade my Bıos by myself.but i cant found my BIOS driver there is a product id on the board its 945p Neo2 (not F or H or another information only NEO2) what ever i tried to upgrade BIOS with the NEO 2 f's BIOS but still i have same problem (blue Screen and restart).What can i do please help Sorry my bad english thanks

    Hello,
    Read Moan Guide and provide full specification about your system including PSU details, (look for them over PSU sticker), example in my signature.
    look here how to ID your board:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107777.msg798546#msg798546
    look between PCI slots for mainboard ID and PCB version.
    what is currently BIOS version onboard?
    have you tried to load XP? if yes is it fine there?
    what BSOD error code you got?
    test memory for error(s) with Memtest86
    ensure that your Vista is up to date from MS update.

  • 945P Platinum and 530J P4 speed fan problem

    Hi,
    i cant find 4pin selector in BIOS. The problem is, that CPU fan is going at 3115 rpm and rpm never goes lower. CPU temp is 32C. When temp is 40C, CPU fan goes 4500rpm. TOOO noisy. On 915P Platinum (with 530J but other orig. p4 cooler- i see differences) there is CPU fan very good, if CPU get loaded, fan speed goes up, but if you end work, CPU is in a minute at <2000rpm and I almost cant hear it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    P.S. Excuse my english

    Yes that´s good.
    You´ll need a quality PSU to get a stable powerdelivery.
    Then don´t forget to set RAM voltage to 1.9v in bios and maybe increase cpu-voltage, depending on what OC you´re aming at.
    Here´s a review. where you can read some about OC the D820 cpu;
