AMD OverDrive Center vs. MSI ControlCenter

Which one is better to use?
I don't Overclock yet, but if and when I do, which is better to use or do i use both? Do you have a better suggestion & can up point me in the right direction if you do? Either way, I would appreciate your help & knowledge. Thank you!

Better overclocking is acheived in the bios.
A very good guide for overclocking your ph2x6 can be found on the xbit labs web site.
I have no time for software overclocking, but amd overdrive 4.0.4 comes with goodly stability tests.
You can get overdrive 4.0.4 from the guru of 3D
Thanks for the post. Could you provide the link to that guide on xbit Labs? I got the AOD 4.0.4. works great.

AMD OVERDRIVE TMPIN2

Hi
On AMD OVERDRIVE what is the tmpin1,2,3;
phenom 8450
sapphire 4850
msi k9a2 cf bios 1.7
muskkin 5 5 5 18 at 400 MHZ
all stock
The tmpin2 shows 128 C is it right;
i have two fans one for in and one for out ( for the air )

False reading, simply ignore it.
They read a sensor-port that isn't connected.

K9A2 Platinum 9950 and AMD overdrive

Ive been gathering overclocking info for ages now and Ive never really tried much. Ive just upgraded to the AM2+ platform from my old 939 box. Ive just discovered the AMD overdrive utility and have been playing with it in novice mode. I slid the bar notch by notch until I reached level 10, the highest in novice mode. It really didnt do much it seems, now my 2.6ghz cpu is running at a blazing 2665.36 after using the novice mode to max . Looks like all its done is raise the PCIe clock to 110, HT ref. clock to 205 and the memory clock to 410. Nice little baby steps . It passed the stability test no sweat. What I was wondering was how effective is the auto clock feature? Does it overclock until it finds a max oc or can you stop the process when you are satisfied with the progress (example whan it reaches 2.8 can I just stop it and test the stability?). How is the utility overall? I know its better to do it in the BIOS but for a novice like me it seems like a safer option.

It's the BIOS. Just tested it with beta v1.21 and gave me the 700 chipset message too. Also with v2.10.
With BIOS v1.1 it gave me the unsigned driver message.
After booting Vista X64 with the option F8 and then "Don't check for unsigned drivers" Overdrive starts.
And showed to be a very nice tool.
I'm sorry for the above post.
I was WRONG...
With the K9A2 CF use: Overdrive from the MSI download page
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=6176&type=utility
Only still the unsigned driver thing so boot Vista X64 with the option F8 and then "Don't check for unsigned drivers".
The chipset shows as RD790

970A-G45 with latest Bios not read correctly By Amd Overdrive

System is as follows
Motherboard: 970A-G45 Bios is now 1.61 all have been tried
CPU: AMD FX 8120
Memory: AMD Performance Edition 1600MHz 8 gbyte
PSU Corsair GX600
problem is that AMD BEMP profiles are grayed out,With this processor and memory the BEMP profile should be available both AMD and Patriot the makers of the memory say the problem is the bios not being read correctly by AMD overdrive.Now how do we get a bios release that will be correctly read by AMD Overdrive.here are pics of cpu-z and AMD overdrive BEMP.
I used the instructions posted here but the image in the instructions doesn't show either

ok the links work now had to resize images

Does AMD overdrive start and work on your system, besides the BEMP thing: yes!, so that is not the question or problem here.
Do you have the hardware components that are needed to support BEMP: NO!

In addition the system must meet the following requirements in order to enable the Black Edition Memory Profile feature:

AMD Phenom™ II AM3 Black Edition CPU
In any case, this is a pointless discussions. I point to the specific parts on the AMD site that have to do with "BEMP" and you ignore that and point to AMD Overdrive stuff, which not necessarely includes BEMP support unless the hardware conditions are properly fullfilled.
Contact:
- AMD Support
- MSI Technical Support
... and Patriot support, this time mentioning that your neither have a "790FX, 790GX or 790X AM3 motherboard" nor an "AMD Phenom™ II AM3 Black Edition CPU".

After AMD X2 3800 upgrade MSI Radio causes stop error

Hi!
First of all sorry for by bad English
I have an MSI TV Anywhere master card for about two years now.
Until now it was running fine, using the updated drivers from MSI's site
This include the main driver, and the new WinDVR 3.0 and the updated MSI Radio
With these AMD vs Intel price wars, I've upgraded my Athlon Winchester 3000+ to a X2 3800+
The CPU is running fine
However, MSI radio immedialy gives a BSOD since I have changed the CPU
I have even got as far as reinstalling XP SP2 from scratch, and it still BSOD's :(
I get
STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
How do I solve it?
Any other users having trouble with TV Anwhere Master with an AMD X2
CPU has run for several hours PRIME 95 and some heavy games with no crashes whatsoever
Just click on MSI radio and the mouse cursor wil freeze, followed by a BSOD and a reboot
Every time this happend
The only time when I could lauch MSI radio was when I booted Windows XP in safe mode
Thx in advance
Steven

Hi Stu!
Followed you advice, I looked a little more at the processor AMD procesor driver program
I already had installed the latest version, but it crashed too :(
However you suggestion had led my to try this:
* Removed the normal AMD processor driver
* Installed the AMD Fix for dual core processors from the AMD site
It worked!! Now MSI radio no more crashes!
knock on wood
I'll report back when there are errors
This is the page I got the utility from:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
It's the first tool listed
From the desc:
"The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction"
Hope this helps anyone who has an AMD X2 an has similar problems
Actually, with the new drivers from MSI I'm quite happy with my TV Anywhere Master
Greetings & thanks everyone

Form "Submit" button won't center in MSIE 8

I have a simple (not yet working) form on a page that I'm designing (url below) that has a "Submit" button at the bottom of the form. I have created a class called .center which sets top and bottom margin values, plus "auto" for left and right margins. And it sets display to "block". I have applied that class to the "Submit" button. It appears centered in Firefox, but not in MSIE 8. Can someone tell me why, and let me know how I might get the button to center in both browsers?

FSB OCing kills suspend and AMD Overdrive

Using the FSB OC switch on my motherboard to increase the FSB 10% works. However my PC wont suspend properly now and when I try to run AMD's Overdrive software, it crashes. Any thoughts?
Brad

I've never been keen on OC'ing using switches.
The only advice I have for you is to set it back to default and change the FSB in the BIOS instead, leaving everything else as is. See how you go. Even if you bump it by just a few MHZ, see what happens.
You tend to get far more fine tuning out of the BIOS as well, and can push things right to the limit.

AMD HD7970m BIOS for MSI GT780DXR (GPU Upgrade)

I want to upgrade my MSI GT780DXR. I want to replace the stock GTX 570m with an AMD HD7970m. In order to do this I've been told i have to do the following:
1) Buy the GPU
2) Buy a new heatsink
3) Flash Clevo BIOS with Enduro off.
Right now, I'm stuck on the third part. I don't know how to do this, or where to get the BIOS. This is what I need help with. Can someone tell me where to get these BIOS and tell me when/how to install them?
And also, if there is anything else i need to upgrade my GPU in my MSI GT780DXR. Thanks!

Talk to Svl7 if I remember the name right. He has been doing the NVidia bio's there, but I'm not sure who handled the ATI bios's, but I'm sure he knows. They are probably your best bet.

AMD Overdrive 3.0

AMD just released a new version of Overdrive, it seems like they fixed some of it's problems and it'll run with windows 7.

Hi Scottike, i just want to ask your AOD has a NB multiplier in it? Thanks!

AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT4V MS-6712 MB

Can somebody help me pls? I do have a MSI KT4V MS-6712 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor. According the CPU RATIO settings table I should put the ratio 16 and the FSB on 133, but I don't have a 16. I only have a 15 and if I use the 15 instead of the 16 I do get a performance of 733 Mhz. When I use the 12.5/13 the system says it's a XP-2000+, but I'm still missing some Mhz. I did already upgrade the BIOS to version 1.8 but no results.
Pls help me, I'm getting crazy! ;(

I changed it into 166 Mhz and now it's acting as a XP 2600+.
Rob, thanks for your suggestion and help in this matter.
:P

Should MSI Command Center control MSI GTX 760?

I'm running the MSI Z87-GD65 MB with BIOS 1.8 and the MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC with MSI driver 9.18.13.3165 along with MSI Command Center version 1.0.0.40.
The Command Center does not appear to be interacting with the GPU at all, the OC sliders are greyed out and the gadget reports GPU Freq of 0.
The card responds properly to Afterburner and works properly in all gaming and other PC apps.
So I think my problem is strictly with Command Center. Should I be expecting it to contol the 760?
Thanks in advance.

Quote from: tp6vul3rmp on 19-March-15, 16:07:31
Did MSI also have "APP" to control the command center??
I like MSI GAMING APP, that's very convenient!
yeah ~ hear it is:
android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.msi.commandcenter
iOS https://itunes.apple.com/app/msi-command-center/id544222160

AMD Sempron 3100+ and MSI KN8 Neo2 motherboard....

I purchased the MSI KN8 Neo2 Platinum motherboard after reading pretty good reviews about it. I was wondering if this board was compatible with AMD 3100+ Sempron processor.
I hope someone here can help me out...
Thanks

Or you can get the NEO2 board and then purchase a socket 939 processor. They are coming out with lower models that will be cheaper. You will then have dual channel memory.
I have the regular 754 NEO and I am 100% satisfied, so either way you should be fine. Be sure and get a really good PSU with lots of amps on the 12v rail.
