AMD 5000+ Black Edition Cell Menu: CPU Frequency Configuration

CPU Frequency Configuration in Cell Menu for 5k+ BE is available in those Mainboards:
K9N SLI Platinum (MS-7250, PCB 1.0) ----> Since BIOS 1.B1
K9N Platinum (MS-7250, PCB 1.0) ----> Since BIOS 1.B1
K9N Ultra (MS-7250, PCB 2.0) ----> Since BIOS 3.A1
K9N SLI (MS-7250, PCB 2.0) ----> Since BIOS 3.A1
K9N4 SLI (MS-7325, PCB 1.0) ----> Since BIOS 1.51
BIOS can be obtained from MSI Tech(http://ocss.msi.com.tw/) or via PM to moderator.
All of them has been tested and worked fine, but however BIOS flashing is always risky. Use them at own risk!!!

Update for Phenom 9600 Black Edition, "Adjust CPU Ratio" :
K9A2 Platinum (MS-7376, PCB 1.0) ----> Since BIOS P0H
K9A2 CF (MS-7388, PCB 1.0) ----> Since BIOS 1.51

MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum compatible with AMD 5400+ BLack Edition???

I looked at MSI's chart, the AMD 5400+ BLack Edition was NOT listed, yet the 5000+ BE was. To further confuse me, I read all of newegg's review for this board, 1 user was running a AMD 5400+ BLack Edition on it. Can someone please confirm? Thanks!!!

I can confirm that this CPU does work with this board. I have asked this question to MSI Online Customer Service about a week ago and this was their response:
Dear xxxxx,
Thanks for contacting MSI Technical Support Team!
Regarding your concern,yes,both your ADO5400DSWOF & ADO5000DSWOF are supported by this mainboard.
For more details,please refer to below link for CPU Support List:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1443&maincat_no=1
Best wishes & regards,
MSI Technical Support Team!
Hope that helps. I am getting that processor too!! Can't wait!

Newbie Cell Menu / QPI Frequency Question

Big Bang X-Power
core i7 980X
G.Skill Ripjaw 12G (3x4G)
Gigabyte GTX470
Corsair HX850
Brand new build - POST ok. (BIOS is AMI vers 1.1) - no HDDs installed yet.
Hi Guys -
I'm having trouble understanding how to read the Cell Menu. Not looking to make changes right now, just understand.
At the top of the Cell Menu are 3 read-only frequencies: CPU, DRAM and QPI. The first 2 are fine but my QPI reads 4800MHz.
Further down in the Memory-Z section I see QPI Frequency is at 6400, but it's the "Adjusted QPI Frequency."
So my question is, what frequency is the QPI running at? Because 4800MHz isn't right for the Gulftown - it should be 6400MHz I think.
Thanks for bearing with a newcomer to this world of system building, and thank you in advance for any thoughts or advice you can share.
-Richard

Is that 2 different commands, or are they showing 2 examples of the same thing? (sorry, I said I was pretty ignorant in DOS!)
Well, I just realized that those instructions are just a little more complicated than they need to be. I will give you some better ones:
1. Remove the U3 Partition with this tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/U3-Launchpad-Removal-Tool.shtml
2. Download the this tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml and download the DOS-Files.rar Archive I am attaching to this reply (then extract the DOS Files included in the archive to a folder of your choice).
3. Run the HP USB Disk Format Tool, select your USB Flash Drive (if it is not selected already), select "FAT32" and also mark the "Creating DOS Startup Disk" Option at the bottom and point the tool to the folder that contains the DOS Files you just extracted from the archive). After that click on "START". Once the tool is done, your USB Flash Drive should be bootable.
Now, download the BIOS Archive (v1.3) from the product site for your board and extract the AFUD4310.EXE file (flasher) and the A7666IMS.130 (BIOS Image) from it. Copy both files to the root directory of the already prepared/bootable USB Flash Drive.
--> Boot from the USB Flash Drive (Press F11 after system start-up to bring up the BIOS Boot Menu) and select the USB Flash Drive from there). You should end up in the DOS Command Prompt.
Enter the following command to start the flash:
AFUD4310 A7666IMS.130 /P /B /N /C [Enter]
Once that is done (you will get a status message: "Program ended normally" at the end of the flash), turn off your system, unplug your PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<<. Turn on the system after that and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS.
Basically, that is it.
One more thing: For safety reasons, please use one memory module in the first black slot for the BIOS Update procedure, not all three of your sticks.
Oh, and if you really want to create a Backup of your current BIOS Version, just enter the following command into the DOS Command Line (before entering the flash command I mentioned above):
AFUD4310 /O BACKUP.ROM

Diamond Plus; Cell Menu CPU FSB Set at 250 x11 but Board Running 200.9 x14

I have FSB set at 250 with the CPU multiplier set at x11. Memory is set at an FSB / DRAM ratio of 1:1. The memory modules are in slots 1 and 2 (green / purple). While in the BIOS Cell Menu it is reporting Memory frequency at DDR500 and the CPU at a slight underclock. This agrees with the above settings. However, in BIOS / Standard CMOS Features / CPU Configuration, it shows the CPU running at 2816Mhz with a multiplier of x14. This is equal to the settings (200.9 x14) that are applied when "Load Optimized Defaults" is loaded and saved. All of the settings in the rest of BIOS setup are definitely set to Manual and the setting values as noted in the first sentence.
CPUZ is also reporting a FSB of 200 with a multiplier of x14. It's showing the memory as PC3200 and running at DDR400 which makes sense if FSB is really running at 200. Long story short, it's reporting everything at the stock settings as set by "Load Optimized Defaults". It is correctly showing the memory in dual channel and the command address rate at 1T. This is the latest version of CPUZ. I had an older version saved on CD. I tried this old version and it reported the same thing.
I have all of the dynamic overclocking options, wakeup options, cool n' quiet and automatic fan speed controls (except northbridge) disabled. If there's any other options that could throttle down the CPU I sure couldn't find them. Even if there were, my CPU is running atb 39C at idle so it shouldn't kick in any thermal throttling. When I flashed to the version 1.19 BIOS version at MSI Tech Support's direction to solve the "phantom modem" issue, I took the extreme route to clearing CMOS; powered down, removed or disconnected all the components, pressed the clear CMOS button, removed the battery for 30 minutes, pressed the clear CMOS button again, reinserted the battery, pressed the clear CMOS button yet again, reinstalled / reconnected the minimum required components, flashed the BIOS, cleared CMOS again, cleared nvram, loaded optimized defaults and saved, manually adjusted all the settings, reinstalled / reconnected the remaining components.
I'm at a loss to explain this. MSI Tech Support says they can't help me because this involves overclocking and they're not allowed to provide advice.
Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.

I've been experimenting with different combinations of FSB / Multipliers / Memory dividers. My best performance is with the CPU at 250 x12 for 3.0 GHz, and memory still at 3-3-2-8, 1:1 and 1T. This is all at stock voltages and I'm not willing to risk frying anything by raising it even a little bit. It's running fast, smooth and cool. That's all I'm looking for so that's as far as I'm going to take it.

I'm getting the same anomaly with the value for CPU Fan. That's the chipset fan speed for sure. It matches the BIOS reading and it's the only fan I have plugged into the mainboard. Everything else is running from a rheobus.
The NB temp on this mainboard is really exceptional. The NB on my old DFI SLI-DR routinely ran in the 48-49C range. I guess the MSI cooling solution is pretty efficient. One other thing though, I'm using Arctic Silencers on both of my graphics boards. The intake fan on the "slave" board is directly above one of the chipsets. That may be drawing an additional bit of heat off of the chipset.
As far as the voltage values, I'm getting the same skew with a different mainboard, BIOS and PSU so this looks like an Everest issue.
IMHO, if your machine isn't doing flakey things that can't be attributed to anything else then your PSU is adequate. If you do go with the Diamond Plus and SLI, I would suggest upgrading the PSU. It seems that the 1 kilowatt PSU's are all the rage now but in reality 700W is more than adequate. Adjustable potentiometers must be nice if you know what you're doing with them. I don't so I don't bother looking for that feature.
Hope this is helpful or at least of some interest.

Msi MSI K9VGM-V & amd x2 5000 black

I have a MSI MSI K9VGM-V mother board with an AMD athlon x2 5000 black CPU. Is it possible to overclock this chip with this board? I know the multiplier is unlocked on this chip, but can not find anything in bios to change the multiplier.
Thanks,
jimmyboy1

If the board doesn't support Core Center, you can try another app like Clock Gen, or Set FSB. You will need to OC in Windows with those, but it is better than nothing if they work. And you can try raising the HTT to 232, which should be easy enough for that chip. Most will do 3G easy. Just be sure your RAM can take it...You'll be running 464Mhz, so you made need to drop to the 667 divider. Good Luck.

MSI NF750-G55 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition bundle from NewEgg

I purchased this CPU/Mobo bundle from NewEgg recently and am having a hard time getting anything to work. Here are the components I am using:
MSI NF750-G55 mobo
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU
2x4Gb GSkill F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR DDRIII ram
EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti SLI ready graphics board
ZUMAX X3 Series ATX 650Watt power supply
NZXT M59 ATX Mid tower case
Now to the problem - no POST
I have double checked the CPU seating and installation and its correct, have tried both on board video as well as the GeForce, and no signal to the monitor. The 4 blue ASP power led's do light up, and the CPU fan spins, but only for a few seconds. Then it shuts off, then restarts, and keeps cycling like this. Have tried with no memory installed, same issue. I have seen several entries on forums for no POST on this mobo. Can anyone help me here? Am I looking at a bad mobo or what? Currently have it out of the case on a non conductive surface.

Trying to upgrade on board Cpu to an AMD FX Black 6300

Hi,
I currently have AMD Phenom II X4 810, the stock cpu that came with the desktop. I want to Install an AMD Fx Black 6300. My bios version is 5.02. I don't know if that needs to be updated? If so where can I do that? There is a list of compatable cpu's. If thats the case i cannot use this cpu in my desktop?

According to THIS PAGE, the upgrade processors are:
TDP=125W
AMD Phenom II X4 9xx/9xxe/8xx Quad-Core (D)
AMD Phenom II X3 7xx/7xxe Triple-Core (H)
AMD II Athlon X4 6xx/6xxe (P)
AMD II Athlon X3 4xx/4xxe ®)
AMD II Athlon X2 2xx/2xxe ®)
The AMD FX 6300 is not on that list. Unless someone gives you a modified BIOS, it is not likely to work.

Problems with CPU frequency scaling

Hello!
I'm having problems following this wiki page in order to set up frequency scaling. My CPU is an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+, so I tried to load the powernow-k8 module. However, the device couldn't be found. Turning AMD Cool'n'Quiet fixed that, but soon after loading the module, my computer would crash. Changing CPU frequency profiles in BIOS only changed if my computer would crash immediately or a few seconds after loading the module. My motherboard is Asus M2N SLI.
Could someone help me fix this?

Thanks for your reply!
Unfortunately, I can't seem to even do that. I just ran this after setting the BIOS profile to Auto:
sudo modprobe powernow-k8 && dmesg | grep powernow > dmesg.txt && lsmod | grep powernow > lsmod.txt
As soon as I pressed return, the command seemed to have executed successfully, basically this is what happened:
[davor@kompika ~]$ sudo modprobe powernow-k8 && dmesg | grep powernow > dmesg.txt && lsmod | grep powernow > lsmod.txt
[davor@kompika ~]$
And the system froze. Upon pressing the reset key and booting the system normally, a dmesg.txt file was indeed created in my home dir, but was empty. An lsmod.txt file was nowhere to be found.
I have tried the Standard and Manual (with settings set to defaults) profiles, and they resulted in immediate reboots. I will try a few more times, because I seem to remember the system being able to run at least a few seconds before finally crashing/freezing.
EDIT:
Did it! Since the command did, in fact, execute entirely, I figured the problem must've been the lack of a clean unmount. So I created a small ext4 partition and ran as root:
mkdir /root/logs
mount /dev/sda1 /root/logs
modprobe powernow-k8 && dmesg | grep powernow > /root/logs/dmesg.txt && lsmod | grep powernow > /root/logs/lsmod.txt && umount /dev/sda1
I realize this is bad practice, but I figured running commands directly as root instead of running them through sudo would maybe save a few milliseconds.
Regardless, it worked! Here is dmesg.txt:
[ 327.826619] powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)

nvidia K7N2 Delta2-LSR Cell Menu

I have posted (in another thread) this in overclockers forum but I'm hoping of a wider audience here; perhaps there are more users in here with same motherboard and who may have come across same issue. I am not trying to overclock but trying to find some stability with bios settings. It was necessary to experiment with overclocking settings to try and get to the bottom of it.
As you can see if my signature I'm trying a beta bios 11.6.1 but symptoms were exactly the same with bios 11.5 which is only other one I've used.
These are my settings in bios>cell menu
High Performance Mode: Optimal (or is it optimised?)
Dynamic Overclocking: Disabled
CPU Voltage: Default
Memory Voltage: 2.70V
AGP Voltage: 1.50V
Adjust CPU FSB Frequency: 200MHz
Adjust CPU Ratio: CPU Default
CPU Interface: Optimal
Adjust DRAM Frequency(FSB:DRAM):[SPD]
Memory Timings: Optimized
-T(RAS): 5
-T(RCD): 2
-T(RP): 2
-CAS Latency: 2.0
Adjust AGP Frequency: Default
AGP Clock Value: 66
FSB Spread Spectrum: Disabled
AGP Spread Spectrum: Disabled
First of all the system runs very well (tempting fate?) at these settings.
However, there are several issues I have found;
If I change High Performance mode from the default (optimised) setting to any other option, for example, manual, and without changing anything else the operating system fails to load properly. It posts OK but invariably freezes at welcome screen. Now I did want to adjust my tras setting, following syar's advice in another forum, but memory timings can only be adjusted if this HIgh Performance mode is adjusted first. It then unlocks Memory timings setting.
If I only change CPU frequency from 200 to 2002 Mhz it doesn't post; get black screen on reboot.
Same thing if I change CPU interface from Optimal>aggressive, again only trying to change this setting.
Exact same thing if I change 'Adjust dram (FSB:Dram) from SPD to Auto, again only trying to change this setting.
The only way I could get to boot properly with a change to High Performance setting was to enable DOT! Seems both these bioses need DOT enabled to make this change.
I could have lived with this but I found that DOT would disable itself after a day or two! I also found on the sergeant setting that my fsb would change to 207 Mhz or thereabouts but would fluctuate between that and 200 Mhz for no apparent reason.
I've written to msi and I'm awaiting a response; I anticipate they will offer me the beta bios I subsequently found after writing to them.
Any thoughts?
Maybe this should have been posted in bios forum so please move it if deemed necessary.

Memory voltage is 2.75v at moment; have tried 2.8v with same result. Cpu is on default, which shows as 1.63-1.66 in cpu-z. I haven't altered this one as I don't know much about it. Are you suggesting upping both?
I'm only trying (initially) to change High Performance mode from optimised to manual. I can't understand why this affects it in such a way.
Cell Menu>High Performance>manual = freeze at welcome screen (unless DOT enabled)
I was running with DOT enabled on private quite merrily yesterday. I have found though pc won't come out of stand-by, either S1 or S3, most of the time, and reset button doesn't then work. Have to hold power switch in then; however it doesn't load O/S as it has disabled DOT itself! With DOT disabled S1 and S3 work fine, so far!
I have found no issue with high performance and Memory timings on 'Optimised'. Memtest and Prime95-no errors, so I should leave it at that.
However, I'm trying to increase my knowledge and understanding, hence all the posts, and my determination to get to the bottom of this.
Syndrome:- I'm not sure we have same problem have we? I thought you were getting freezes and lock ups with default/optimised settings?
You say Quote
All in default settings ----> but the memory set to AUTO (Default is By speed). In auto setting set memory bus 1:1. If you set this setting in manual configuration don't work.
You can't have auto and 1:1 can you? I believe option is auto or spd until memory timings are changed from optimised, which expands the menu
Thanks for advice though.

K7N2GM-V - Please re-setting CPU Frequencies in the CMOS Setup (sic)

Rebooting after a system hang I sporadically get the following messages:
CMOS Checksum error - Defaults Loaded
Warning! the CPU had changed.
Please re-setting CPU Frequencies in the CMOS Setup
Could someone please translate this for me? I haven't touched the CPU, the CMOS jumper and the battery is good, per the hardware detection menu.
And my CMOS settings are lost, so I have to go back and set the clock, disable the floppy I don't have, boot order, etc.

The battery contacts are clean; in or out of the case the mobo boots fine as long as I don't pull the plug.
But for the answer to my original question, what does this mean:
Please re-setting CPU Frequencies in the CMOS SetupThe Quick User's Guide is not useful here. It says:
Adjust CPU FSB Frequence
This setting allows you to select the CPU Front Size Bus clock frequency. Settings [100MHz]~[300MHz] at 1MHz increment.
In fact with High Performance Mode set to Optimized the choices are only 100, 133, 166, 200, and the answer given is correct:
Quote from: osnavi on 28-July-05, 22:27:47
"...Do you mean the BIOS setting "Adjust CPU FSB FRequency?"
The choices there are 100, 133, 166, 200... " If CPU is 333 FSB you should select 166.
In other words, in the BIOS set up screen, go to Cell Menu and then Adjust CPU FSB Frequency and set it to ½ the advertised frequency of your Athlon CPU.

7125v1.0 Neo4 Ultra - CPU Frequency wrong

Config: MB:7125v1.D0, CPU: 3700+, Ram: 2*1GHz Gskill, VGA: Sparkle 6600GT PSU: Corsair VX550W, 2 IDE & 2 Sata Disks (Non-Raid)
Hello,
MB is non-overclocked (never), but Cell Menu in Bios (v1.D0 - last disponible on MSI Site) shows:
Current CPU Clock 2211MHZ , Current DDR Clock.
I don't know when and how the frequency changed... at the time I flashed the Bios, frequency was 200MHz.
Actually, I can change, after windows has started, the frequency from 201 to 200MHz using the Nvidia Control Panel.
Even if Board is working with 201MHz clock, isn't it better - or am i wrong? - that frequency is not higher than 200MHz?
Is there any way to change this in the Bios, so the frequency is what it has to be?
In Cell Menu, these 2 lines (the first 2 of the screen) are grayed and said non-changeable.
I tried a Cmos-Clear, as indicated otherwhere (power cord unplugged, battery removed, waiting at least 15Mn, etc..) but nothing changed. I also tried to reinstall XP entirely on another clean disk, but CPU Frequency remains at 201MHz.
Is it possible to reflash the 1.D0 Bios on the same Bios and will it change the frequency?
What happens if I reflash the same Bios on that which is in use?
Or is it better consider reflashing an older Bios, and after that reflash the newer?
Tia for any help
Regards

Well what's the matter 200.5 or 200.0, you can try to disable CPU Spread spectrum it can affect 0.5 in the freq.
Hello,
I apologize not to have answered before, but I was traveling for work the last 3 weeks.
I asked about the HTT frequence because it is generally said not to change the Ram Speed over the previous speed.
Even when I let 201Mhz for CPU Clock, i have some bugs (unexpected reboot after various time, unexpected PC freezing) - not always but from time to time. When I change the CPU Speed to 200 MHz with NVidia controlpanel, just after windows has started, these bugs never ! appear.
Changing the CPU Spread Spectrum option in the cellmenu has no effect.
So I'm wondering that i have this default which exists also when i make a new XP Install on a new disk: FSb Clock 201MHz CPU Clock 2211MHz instead of 200/2200. Ok with the multiplier factor it is right but The RAM Frequence is also 402 MHz.
Tia

Recommend opening a ticket with MSI Tech Support & describing in detail the problems you are having with the new bios. Since this is a user to user forum, nothing concerning a bios revision or the like is going to get fixed here. About the only advice anyone here could give would be maybe some new setting in the bios has been added, or a setting has been overlooked preventing the desired results.
After taking a peek in the manual, nothing is shown about the board having these setting options. It's possible the new bios has incorporated it. It would show up in bios Cell Menu & the description of what it is & what it does would be in the info box to the right. When OC'ing, make sure to disable Spread Spectrum. After the bios update, did you remove the power cord from the PSU & clear CMOS?
I have disabled the "Spread Spectrum" because it caused slow perfomance especially in SSD.
About the power cord and clear cmos. No, never, ever.

I don't see the point of posting system specs because I'm sure it's a bug, the bios refuses to save the Cell Menu options but whatever. I can't argue with that because this information is crucial to most issues

X38 Platinum & q9550 - incorrect adjusted cpu frequency?

I have a core2quad Q9550 in my new X38 Platinum. My BIOS is up-to-date. My RAM is Gskill 1333MHz DDR3.
In the Cell Menu in BIOS, at the top it shows
Current CPU Frequency: 2.83GHz (333x8.5) <-- correct speed for this CPU
Current DRAM Frequency: 1333MHz
However the Adjusted CPU Frequency says [2667]!
D.O.T. Control [Disabled]
Intel IEST [Enabled]
Adjusted CPU FSB Frequency [333]
Anyone got any idea what's going on? Is my CPU running at full speed or not?
Thank you.

This was a pre-windows query. However, in order to follow AaronYuri's suggestion, I am now installing Vista 64. I will set everything to, well, as close as I can get to no power management
