975x platinum and new Q6600, fsb stuck at 266

hi,
i bought a Q6600 this week and i have few problems with my 975x V2.1.
i can change fsb in bios but even if modifications are saved the CPU keep running a 2,4ghz 266 fsb. my CPU is G0 L817B102 and is show in bios as B3.
yeah i know my English suck, but I'm learning :D

Okay. Is Spread Spectrum Disabled in BIOS? Please make sure it is.

i tried with dual core center too
Please make sure that Dual Core Center is not automatically started with Windows. It can influence Frequency settings and add disturbances. It is probably best to uninstall it completely.
Quote
but since bios detect my cpu as B3 it may be because this Q6600 is new and incorrectly seen by the bios ( or maybe it's totaly stupid to think that ^_^ ) . the intel pack date is 09/22/08
The Q6600/G0 is officially supported since BIOS v7.6. That means if you are using v7.8 or v7.9, there should be no problem in terms of CPU Support/Compatibility.
Does CPU-Z tell you "B3" as well ("Revision")? Make sure you are using the latest Version of CPU-Z: http://www.cpuid.com/download/cpuz_150.zip
Also, please check the CPU box for the sSPec Number (Q6600/B3 has SL9UM and Q6600/G0 has SLACR).
Please post a screenshot of the CPU-Z "CPU" View.

Problem with MSI 975x Platinum based new build

I am having what looks like a familiar issue with setting up a new build PC. Spec is as follows:
MSI 975x Platinum edition MOBO
Intel Core Duo 2 e6600 CPU
Western Digital Raptor 150GB S150 16mb 10000rpm SATA drive
Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5
SONY DVD-RW
The problem comes when trying to install Windows XP on the single SATA drive (I don't want a RAID array - mainly as I only have 1 hard drive!).
I press F6 as instructed to install the SATA drive - I have created a disk with the necessary driver files from the MSI website.
Based on other posts I have seen I have put all the files except "txtsetup.oem" in another folder on the floppy (either "\win_XP" or "\winXP"). However I still get the same error message:
"file \x32\jraid.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in d:\xpspl\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
I am beginning to think I can't install XP to a SATA drive. Can anyone help with this? Is there an "official" driver floppy disk I can get from MSI in exactly the right format?
Alternatively is it worthwhile buying a small standard IDE drive and installing XP to that to get me going and then install the SATA drive once XP is going? Would it then be possible to shift XP onto the faster SATA drive?
Thanks

if you using 1 sata drive you dont set it up as a raid , in the sata options set it up as ide enhanced also in this mode no need for pressing f6 just make sure that the sata is set to 1st boot hdd , if you using 1 sata and 1 ide hdd and tring to isntall on the sata disconnect the ide hdd because it will mess with your drive letters in windows ... if you goin raid ( achi mode is only for sata 2 drives with NCQ = native command queing and your drives have to support this mode ) then in the sata drives portion set it to raid ( achi if your drives support it ) in the force part set it to force gen 1 ( for sata 1 drives ) force gen 2 ( for sata 2 drives ) then you will need to set up the raid config in the intel raid config ( its the next post screen telling you press CTRL+I ) set it up reboot reneter bios set hdd priority to intel raid 0 then intsall windows but press f6 ... yes i ran it 2 ways single sata drive and now raided 80's in raid 0 ( i dont have NCQ support yet )

New 955X Platinum and new BIOS relase for 915P Neo2 Platinum

Hi all,
Just wanted to bring some news to this forum so that not all topics are trouble related:-))
Hope it's ok with the moderators....
MSI has just relased their new 955X Platinum mobo, and I must say it looks great.
It has some special features like 9.1! Dolby sorround and E-SATA brackets for external S-ATA's. It fully support all the Intel? Dual Core processors such as the 820, 830 and 840 families and the highest Pentium 4 Extreme Edition series processors like P4EE 840.
Best of all, it delivers power to the cpu finally tru a 4.phase voltage regulator, so I hope this board OC better then its predecessors.
Sinse this is a Platinum board, I hope MSI havent skiped the 955X DIamond board they showed at CeBit2005 tough.
Anyway, look out for this board and you can read the press release here.
I know some of you 915P PLatinum owners have had som troubles with youre boards, I just want to inform you that MSI hase just released a new BIOS(1.7) to youre board. You can dowlad it here.
Well, thats all. Have a nice weekend everybody:biggthumbsup:

I know, but I,m hoping the 955X mDiamond will support SLI. nVidea has just revealed that they will support SLI on Intel chipsets.

975x Platinum and Plextor PX-755SA

Hi!
I think I'm about to buy this board. Does anyone have the Plextor PX-755SA SATA DVD burner? I'm trying to determine if it is compatible with the MSI 975. The Plextor compatibility list doesn't mention this board as being either compatible or incompatible. I know it works on Asus 975 boards.
Thanks!

I guess either MSI or Plextor have tested their products against each other ... but if you plugged to the ICH's SATA port, it should be detected well.

How do I change CPU FSB Freq on 975X Platinum Pue

Hi all!
I´m thinking about overclocking my CPU and that will be my first time ever. So I am a complete noob in this matter.
I have already read the sticky "975x Platinum Pue Overclocking Guide" (I do have that board) and will have it for reference later.
1. I have one question regarding changing CPU FSB frequency. I´m asked to key in a DEC number. But how should I do it. The guide says to "Start from 266 fsb increase by 3 fsb". So do I have to put in 269 to begin with, or how else do I change the number.
2. One other thing I want to ask of before I begin. My memory is Corsair XMS2 2x1GB 800MHz PC2-6400 CL5 in Dual channel. But in Bios it says 667MHz and voltage 1.8. Do I need to adjust memory clock ratio and the voltage before I begin overclocking?
3. My third question is: if overclocking Core 2 Duo E6400 to about 3.2GHz could I face some stability issue in regard to my PSU of 410W? (that my PSU could influence the system stability in a negative way). My system is very stable I think and the PSU fan is very quiet.
4. I´m using the the most recent Speedfan and it shows unusually high cpu temps, about 100c which is wrong as I´m using hardware temperature monitor which says about 35c idle and the BIOS says about the same. Which software cpu temp monitor would you recommend?

Speedfan is no good for Core2 Duo + 975xPUE, use CoreTemp
To change your FSB, simply put in a new number. The multiplier is locked on this board still I believe, so to calculate the frequency you'll get, just multiply the FSB by 9 and that should give it to you. So, yes, that means do 269, stress test, then 272, stress test, etc. BUT, the 266 they used in that guide is from an E6600, you don't have that. You want to start from whatever it is as default.
The reason you go up by 3 is because of stability issues as far as voltage is concerned. That is to say, go up by three, stress test (i like to use 2 instances of Folding@Home) and if it crashes, raise the voltage a little.
Make your fsb:memory ratio 1:1 always, and that means it will run a little slower than what it's rated at to begin with but then you can move up from there. As a beginner doing a pretty small overclock, you shouldn't worry about RAM. At 3.2GHz your RAM will be running at 712MHz, which is a little slower, but once you get more experienced that means you'll be able to tighten the timings.
Good luck and be safe

975X Platinum stuck at 66x10 w/ Core 2 Duo E6700

Hello. I'm trying to set up a Core 2 Duo E6700 with a 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition board. The board was shipped a few days ago from Newegg, and I haven't flashed the BIOS. I think it's version 7.0 dated 7/12/2006.
The BIOS shows the CPU running at 66x10 = 667 MHz, even though FSB has been detected at 266 and processor model is correctly reported as E6700 @ 2.67 GHz.
The first time I powered it up, I set the BIOS to optimized defaults. I didn't have a chance to see what the reported speed was before that. Also, in the CPU info section of the BIOS, L2 cache size is reported as 8K and CPU temp is 50C.
Is this a bad CPU, incorrect setting somewhere, or what?
- I'm using the Intel retail HSF. I've removed it once since I first installed it to see if it was installed properly, and I saw the paste evenly spread over the CPU.
- Power supply is an Antec TruePower Trio 650: 24A @ 3.3 and 5V, (19A @ 12V) * 3.
- Memory is Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4. That's supposed to be DDR2-800 4-4-4-12. BIOS has it running at 667 and timing is auto.
- Graphics cards are Radeon X1900XT + X1900 Crossfire edition.
- Seagate 7200.10 320GB is plugged into SATA1.
- Pioneer DVR-111D is master on IDE1.
Thanks much for any help.
TT

Thanks for the replies. After I got Windows installed, I saw that the CPU was indeed running at the correct 2.67 GHz. Since then I've been busy playing games. ;-)
As for installing 715, I must admit I'm reluctant to void the warranty on this brand-new board. I do want to help test it, though. Perhaps in a couple more days.
Again, thanks for your help.
TT

A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
Any recommendations?
Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
Thank you
Peter

Great info again guys!
I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
@DryHeat:
I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
The case fans create the most noise. When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer. Not terrible, but not quite. On high they are down-right loud.

MSI 975X Platinum V2 e6300 results: 400 fsb, can we do more?

First, I dont know if there is any fix to make OCZ platinum 800 ram to get pass 370 fsb stable - memory does not perform 1:1 @ 400fsb. On the other hand Gold kit performes well at 1:1 400. Question: is it OCZ or MSI ?
PLATINUM USERS BE AWARE, i tryed everything to make it work.
Bios Settings:
FSB @ 400
CPU voltage - 1.4
CPU/ram multi - 1:1
OCZ Gold 800 ram [email protected], 4x512 @2.2v
Spread Spectrum - disable
SpeedStep - disable
This is what i have so far , performs extreamly well. What other setting have i missed? Can i improve my overclock, and pass 400 fsb ?
My goal is to reach 3.0 ghz or optimal overclock that is stable. I run a bit behind 6800X in Sandra Bench, but ill beat it when the right clock is reached.
Please post your suggestions, whats the ultimate BIOS OVERCLOCKING setting for this mobo to pass 400. Lets make this simple so all users willl have a great overclokc with all info right here.

as i have already posted so many times in this forum its easy to get even 420 mhz just simply disable all cpu features set ram voltage to 2.1 V ,disable all i/o ports ....thats all enjoy overclocking but at 400 mhz its a paradise rock solid
420 is not a dream though
What works for might not work for someone else. Without putting your system specs in your signature you are not helping anyone. Your memory needs 2.1V (what brand/make?), mine (listed in my sig.) only needed 1.9V. The topic starter says he has 1.4V for Vcore, I set mine to 1.21V and the CPU runs much cooler now. Every rig will be set up differently because of the different components. Don't assume that what works for you will work for someone else.

You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.

MSI 975X Platinum POE and 6-pin power connection

Hi,
I have seen a number of topics somewhat related to my problem, but I am still unsure.
I have an MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition main board, and I recently bought a NorthQ 4775-500S power supply to replace my current Hiper HPU-4M580. A good PSU, but too noisy for my taste.
Anyway, when installing the NorthQ PSU, I noticed that it has a 6-pin connector, I think it is a PCI-e connector. The main board, however, has an 8-pin connector, called JPW in the manual:
"The JPW 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU"
The 6-pin plug from the PSU seems to fit nicely in the 8-pin connector. After reading some other posts, I started to remember that 4 pins of the JPW connector were indeed blocked by a removable plastic chip, which I did remove to make room for the 8-pin plug from my previous PSU.
So, I think I can use the 6-pin plug in the 8-pin socket, but I want to ask you guys first; Will this be correct and safe, or should I get a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter, or even a 6-pin to 4-pin adapter?
Thanks in advance!

"The 6-pin plug from the PSU seems to fit nicely in the 8-pin connector"
No don't do that.
If your PSU don't have 8pin power cable for the CPU, use the 4pin power cable instead:
But do NOT connect PCI-E power cable(6 pin) in CPU power socket.

PCI 2.0 Express and MSI 975X Platinum-PE

Just wondering if my MSI 975X Platinum-PE SKT775 motherboard will take the ATI 4800 series graphics cards which require a pci-express 2.0 slot or not. Or am I confined to looking for the old 1.0 series ones instead. Any guidance would be appreciatied.
Cheers

It should work alright.
The only "older chipsets" that have problems, to my knowledge, with PCIe 2.0 vga cards are VIA and SIS chipsets.
Yours is Intel and the 48xx should work on that board.

i dont see the card in bootup, already installed bios 7.7
tried the card in an other sytem works fine
also installed the latest firmware on the arc-1220 card
anyone have an idea which bios i should try

can you see the card in windows if you boot off the on-board controller?
I know Intel boards are picky with RAID controller cards. If the Intel RAID is enabled then a lot of add-on cards won't work. Also, even with Intel RAID disabled some still won't work. I had to flash my SiI 3132 RAID card to non-RAID for it to work as a boot device.
I've had my system not even post at all when both RAIDS are enabled. But if I get a post and it boots from the Intel side, it always sees the add-on RAID card.
Also, do you have the latest BIOS? Hopefully that will fix the issue.
Myself, I have the ARC-1210 controller and have NOT had any issues on my 975, 965, P35, or X38 boards. However, only the X38 board has allowed my card to run at full speed. The other chipsets run the 2nd PCIe X16 slot at only X4. It seems it's too slow for the controller to work properly, or there is some issues still. But my X38 boards run great. I get over 300MB/s with my 4 x 150MB Raptors in RAID0.
Good luck

975X Platinum Power Up Edition v 2.1 - Will not Boot!

Hi All,
I have what seems to me to be a major issue. I've just built a new machine with the following specs :
PSU : Coolermaster eXtreme Power 650W PSU - ATX 12V V2.01 120mm Fan 20+4pin
MBO : 975X Platinum Power Up Edition v 2.1
CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz 1066MHz) Socket 775 L2 8MB Cache
MEM: OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 5-5-5-12 GOLD XTC *SPECIAL OPS* ED
GFX : Sapphire X1950GT 256MB
DVD: Samsung SH-S203B 20X DVD±RW/RAM / DL Serial ATA Black Bare Drive
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar T7k500 HDT725032VLA360 320GB SATAII (2)
When I boot, the D-Bracket briefly shows green lights at position 1 and 4 and then just hangs on one green light in position 4. I see no display on the monitor. All the fans are spinning but nothing else happens!
I got the following response from MSI :
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your concern. Please follow the below steps to have a try.
1.unplug the battery and clear cmos.
2.clean up all the components and plug them again.
3.change another memory.
4.change another power supply.
5.make sure whether the cpu fan is fixed properly and tightened.
If still can't help, please mail us again.
Regards
MSI Technical Support Team
I have tried everything they said, but it has made no difference. The strange thing is that no red leds come on. I thought that the first in the display sequence of the d-bracket was four red leds.
Any ideas? I really need your help!
Many Thanks,
Matt

Did you connect the 8-pin +12V-CPU-connector to your power supply?
Quote
GFX : Sapphire X1950GT 256MB
Make sure the 6-pin PCIe connector on your graphics card is hooked up to your PSU. Also use the 4-pin (4x1) PCIe connector on your mainboard to re-assure stable power supply.
Take the board out of your case and put it on a non-conducting surface for testing. Use barebone configuration only:
- CPU
- one RAM module in Slot 1
- graphics card
- D-Bracket
- disconnect hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, add-on cards and USB front panel connectors.
- Clear CMOS (remove main power plug removed from PSU first)
Then try to boot your system again and see if there are any changes. If not, use the other RAM module and try again.
One more thing:
Make sure that you are really using the Power-Up Edition of the 975X Platinum mainboard. The regular edition (MS-7246 v1.x) does not support your CPU. There was a case not too long ago in which a user bought a 975X Plat. PUE mainboard (MS-7246 v2.x) that did not want to work as expected. It turned out that he actually got the older edition of the board.

X1950PRO Crossfire Incompatible with 975X Platinum

*** BIG APOLOGIES TITLE INCORRECT SHOULD READ X1950PRO *** ED - Oh, I can modify the title too
Hiyas,
Very brief rundown of the setup -
Thermaltake Toughpower 600w
MSI 975X Platinum Power Up Edition
MSI Radeon X1950Pro Graphics Card x 2
Now to begin with I'm pretty sure that ATI did away with the whole 'Mastercard' set up and you don't need to have one 'Mastercard' and one normal card, could someone clarify this for me? http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/howitworksdemo.html <-- That would appear to confirm what I already believe.
Secondly, the MSI 975X board that I purchased which is an alleged Crossfire ready board, didn't have the ribbon cable in the box, nor is it said to have the ribbon cable in the box as far as the contents go. In fact the manual is still talking about the DVI bridging cable, which I believe is the now defunct way of doing this? Correct me if I'm wrong.
The said ribbon cable was not in either of the X1950Pro graphics card contents either which again leaves me wondering how the setup should be instigated. Could somebody please clarify for me if the above Crossfire demo I have posted is what I should be looking at, and should I be harrassing my supplier about the missing ribbon cable, even though the box contents says nothing of a ribbon cable?? Should the ribbon cable be supplied with the card or the motherboard?

What is your BIOS? try with different BIOSes?
Maesus, you posted in my thread regarding the sagas I experienced with BIOS and getting the RAID to function on this board.
BIOS is 7.1 and the other guys were pretty sure the only thing I would lose was the HPET Vista crapola by backdating to this version. Though in all fareness I understand that crossfire setups are few and far between.
Now the reason I'm stuck with the old BIOS version of 7.1 is that 7.16 reports RAM at 3.4Gb and anything newer than either of them means I lose my fifth SATA port which once again leaves me nowhere.
Can anybody please point me to where in the system post it should show that the system has detected both cards?
That way I know straight up if it's a BIOS/Hardware issue or a Windows/Driver issue.
also
Should I be able to run a card in the secondary slot (obviously speed is reduced) without a card in the primary slot?
This is where I'm at right now.
Removed secondary card.
Carried out format and reinstallation with only primary card present.
Shut down system after completion of installation.
Physically installed secondary card, power to card and two bridging ribbons.
Booted system to windows and no problems.
Installed ATI 7.2 Catalyst Software.
Reboot.
All working fine.
Enter ATI Catalyst control panel to enable Crossfire but option not present anywhere.
Am running Catalyst 7.2 and at this stage 7.3 hasn't reared it's head yet.
