Best Bios settings for my new rig

Hi there
I have just put a new rig together & at the risk of soundin like a newb am a little stuck with the Bios. Am used to Intel chips, haven't had an AMD in a long time. At the moment everything is set to optimised defaults. Am not looking to overclock it with any voltage increase. Any safe basic recommendatios would be welcome.
Thanks in advance for any help.
MSI 890FXA-GD70 890FX Socket AM3
AMD Phenom II X6 Black Edition 1090T
Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz HyperX Memory Kit
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50
Corsair CWCH50-1 Cooling Hydro Series H50
Xenta 800W Modular Fan PSU
Crucial 64GB Real SSD C300
Sapphire HD 6870

At stock voltage OC should be up to 3.5GHz or so, barely enough to really make much difference in performance in my opinion. I really don't notice much performance increase until OC of 400-500MHz or so. I would suggest a slight voltage increase to 1.35V & try OC to 3.6 or a little more. There's also plenty of available info if you search the web for OC on it. Here's one: http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/processors/AMD_Phenom_II_X6_1090T_15.html

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

Best BIOS Settings for Performace?

Hi Guys,
I am new to all this PC stuff, i was a mac user for the last 8 years. At the moment i am learning all this stuff on the Bios - can anybody help me out give me the best settings for my PC (without overclocking)? I understand if i disable cool n quiet - i will get better performance.
my info:
AMD 64 3200+
K8T Neo FIS2R Mainboard
2 x 512MB DDR400 (1 gig totalling) Kingston
9600XT Bravo (powercolor) 128MB
550W Antec True Power Supply
TT Venus 12 CPU Fan
Idle - 36 - 37c
Full load - 41 - 45c
I ran the 3dmark03 (demo) and the score came up 4005 - i am not sure if this result is how it should be but i really think its slow compared to my mate's 2600 XP running 9700pro and getting a score of around 5500.
Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

3dMark03 is very GPU-demanding, and your mate's 9700pro is a faster card then your 9600XT.
Try runing 3dMark01 and it whill test the hole system more or less.

Best BIOS settings for K8N?

Can people post up their BIOS settings and give any tips? It'd be good to know how the ones having luck with the board are running them

Are you talking about settings for overclocking? Or just settings in general?

Best Bios Settings for stability/performance on Neo2 Platinum?

My sys has been running for several days and has cut off twice. Wondered if any of my settings in Bios could be responsible. Before getting to the general questions about the Bios, wanted to ask for answers to questions generated after running Sis Sandra Lite.
1. SMBios/DMI info may be inaccurate
2. Check vCore settings. vCore less than rated minimum
3. Check to see if Bios is being shadowed
My responses to the above:
1. Don't know what to do
2. Cool 'N Quiet says my vCore is 1.06, but the BIOS says 1.45. What's up?
3. In Bios I have "system bios cacheable" enabled, so doesn't that take care of shadowing?
I've been spending a lot of time in the Bios and realize there are several things that I have left at default because I don't know what the #@!* they are. Can anyone give suggestions on best choices for these settings:
1. Advanced Bios Features:
Gate A20=Fast (Other Options=Normal)
APIC Function=Enabled (Disabled)
MPS Table Version=1.4 (1.1)
2. Advanced Chipset Features
AGP Aperture Size=128 (32,64,256,512)
AGP Fastwrite=Enabled (Disabled)
3. Onboard I/O Chip Setup
EPP Mode Select= EPP1.7 (EPP1.9)
ECP Mode USE DMA=3 (1)
4. Power Management
Sleep State=S1(POS) (S3(STR))
Video Off Method=DPMS Support (Blank Screen, V/H Sync+Blank)
5. Cell Menu
High Performance Mode= Manual (Optimized)
Spread Spectrum=Enabled (Disabled)
Adjust AGP Frequency=66 (67, 68, ...73)
Adjust CPU VID=startup (1.4,1.425,1.450 ...1.550)
Adjust CPU Ratio=startup (4, 4.5, 5, ...7)
In general:
Voltages stable in CNQ & Bios
CPU Temps=low 40's
Sis Sandra and Performance Test, based on Prime95, didn't ring any bells about my memory. I downloaded mem86, but don't know how to use it. Any advice, does it run under Windows?
I'm throwing a lot of stuff at you, but i would appreciate any and all advice.

Quote
1. Parallel Port=SPP. Do you recommend this instead of EPP/ECP?
Sorry don't use it so can't help Leave on default i would guess
Quote
2. Spread Spectrum=Disabled What does it do and why is it better disabled?
see [ur=https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=54798.0l]The Complete Guide to Spread Spectrum [/url] If you go into the cell menu & watch the spread spectrum whilst you increase saty the FSB from 200 you will see spread spectrum turn itself off. So to some extent you can leave it to look after itself. But there have been occasions when disabling it has helped stability.
Quote
3. Why does Cool 'N Quiet report such a different vCore (1.06) from the Bios (1.45)? It also reports 201 Mhz X 5 = 1004Mhz. In the Bios the Front Side Bus is 200
Do you mean CoreCentre with Cool'n'Quiet enabled ?? Another Good Read Cool 'n' Quiet FAQ The 201 instead of 200 is normal

Best bios settings for K8T Neo + Athlon 64 3200+ + ATI 9700 Pro ?

Hi, i just got my k8T Neo (MS-6702) and can't figure out the best/most stable settings in the bios for my system yet. I am mainly using my computer for GAMES, so this is what i am talking about when i say "optimization"
I got an ATI 9700 Pro, an Athlon 64 3200+ and 2x512 mb of Kingston Value Ram (bank 1 and 2).
The main settings i really don't know how to set are:
-Internal Cache
-External Cache
-System Bios Cacheable
-C000, 32k Shadow
-MPS Revision
-AGP Fastwrite
-AGP Aperture Size
I wish i could get rid of any instability problems, i had a few crashes so far. Yet, i would like to set my system to get the most of my hardware in terms of speed.
Thanks in advance for your help guys !

internal cache-on
external cache-on
system bios-disabe
c shadow stuff-disable
agp fastwrite on unless you have problems, you'll know fast
agp apperature size..depends on sys ram if over 512 best to atleast 128, if not 256
(official recomadation is 1/2 your system ram)
disable any onboard stuff you dont use like sound,sata controlers,
quick boot enable. smart enable
logo disable, floppy drive seek disable,
i wouldnt mess with mps table version.
power management to s3 usb wake enable..power management agm-disable
suspend time-disable-...set wakeup events hit enter, choose kbc & or mouse.
that should get you started.

Help finding the Best BIOS settings for P67A-C45 (2)

Hello again folks
I Have a P67A-C45 board with an Intel i5 [email protected] and 8Ghz DDR3@1600 of memory
I just want to know what are the best setiings to my system. I'm planning to make an overclock, but i don't know much about these.
My ram are at 1333 MHz. What's the problem????

My ram are at 1333 MHz. What's the problem?
Your CPU only natively supports up to 1333mhz memory. Your memory sticks, although rated to run up to DDR3-1600 speed, are only natively DDR3-1333.
Hence, if you have not applied any overclocks, and are running at default settings, the BIOS is reading the default native SPD setting for your memory, which will be DDR3-1333 settings. So no, there is no problem really. In order to run your sticks at their rated setting, you will need to overclock.
But, you might want to have a read of this:

What are the best export settings for a HD video in Premier Pro CS4?

Hi!
   I've been having so much trouble with this issue and it's something that continually frustrates my boss. I have a HD video the settings for it are
FPS 23.98
1920 x 1080, then a few lines down it says 1408 x 792
16 bit,
2 channels
48000 Hz
   What should the settings be when I make a new sequence?
             When I look at it in the window in Premiere Pro I have to contantly 'shrink' the image to fit the window, is that something I should be doing or does it indicate the sequence settings are incorrect?
But more importantly what should the export settings be? I exported a 4 minute long video and the size was 1 GB, I know that's too big.
I need to export it without loosing any quality and export another one that meets the Youtube and Vimeo limits on size.
Vimeo is 500 MB per week, sometimes I upload 4 videos per week. I think Youtube you can only upload 500 MB at a time.
I need to get smaller sizes with loosing the least amount of quality possible AND the best export settings for quality, so I guess I have 3 separate questions-
What are the best sequence settings for HD video?
What are the best export settings for HD without loosing any quality?
What are the best export settings for the size to come out around 500 MB with loosing the least amount of quality possible?
Thank You!

On the above thread I used the 5th anwer, and it's going to take about 7 hours to export a 4 minute video :/

It Stands for "Coder Decoder."
Your format is like a container for your video file. Certain containers can hold certain codecs and not others. Other containers can hold other codecs. Sometimes different containers can hold the same codecs.
This might be a bad analogy but I'll give it a try.
A coffe cup (container) can hold pretty much any liquid you drink, where a red solo cup (container) won't hold scolding water. So, the coffe cup would be your container of choice most likely because it has the most options for liquids (codecs). But, you might want a red solo cup for just a single crappy beer at a party (a moderate quality streaming video on the web). In that case, you don't need all the optoins of another container.
In Premiere Pro CC H.264 is a Container and the Codec in one option. This has been streamlined for web distrobution of video to be played in browsers without things like Flash or special players.
Were as if you choose the QuickTime Container there are over 40 codec optoins (at least on my machine with additinal ones installed) but you may run into an issue where your browser doesn't support QuickTime playback.
I would say that your container is for compatability with players and your codec is taken into consideration when looking at the quality of the compression.
Yesteraday I wrote a blog entery on Exporting from Premiere Pro and found that the MPEG-4 codec inside of the QuickTime container gave me much richer colors than the H.264 container/codec option.
I posted the link before but here it is:

Best export settings for HD video to DVD

hello, I now use premier pro cs5, from cs4 on my mac, love it, but I shoot with a cannon XL H1s HD video, my questiion is when viewing video from camera or on the screen in cs5, perfect hd picture, but when I export to DVD, i see in the media encoder if I choose mpeg2-DVD it goes output to 720x480, how do I export to dvd for the best HD seetings for DVD to get a HD playback on the DVD, now I see an OK video on the TV playback, but not the same as the original recording, can anyone help,, thanks in advance for any help.....

I found (via a friend who is experienced in Pr & En) that it all comes down to the export/authoring settings.
In Pr, my export settings needed to be adjusted as follows:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: PAL Progressive Widescreen High Quality
Selected 'DVD' in the Basic Settings section of the
Multiplexer tab (this creates a single mpeg file rather than a m2v file which has a separate video and audio file)
Selected the highest possible quality (5) in the Basic Video Settings section of the Video tab, changed the TV Standard to PAL (to suit Australian TVs) and then
Set the minimum/target/maximum bitrate settings to 8Mbps (when I set it at 9Mbps, the final file had too high a bitrate for DVD)
In the Audio tab, I selected PCM as the audio type.
I also ensured that the Use Maximum Render Quality checkbox was ticked at the bottom of the export settings window.
Then I exported.
Once encoding was complete I opened Encore, started a new project, selected DVD as the authoring mode and PAL as the Television Standard within the Basic settings for the new project. I then imported the final mpeg file as a timeline into Encore, set all the appropriate first play/title button/end play functions as necessary, then I opened the Edit Quality Presets window from the File menu and made the following settings;
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Presets: PAL DV High quality 8Mb CBR 1 Pass
Basic Video Settings - Quality: set to maximum (5)
Basic Video Settings - Field Order: None (Progressive)
Basic Video Settings - Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
Basic Video Settings - Bitrate Settings - Bitrate [Mbps]: set to maximum (9)
Basic Audio Settings - Audio Format Settings: Audio Format: PCM
click OK
Then I authored the DVD and was quite pleased with the result. Still not quite to the quality I was hoping for (i.e. the quality of a DVD movie), but still a significant improvement on my initial attempts using default Pr & En settings.
Hope it helps

For my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints?

for my power shot S5IS, best camera settings for 4 X 6 prints? I would like to have the best setting so when i print out the photos,i do not need to crop or trim. It is close, but i feel it can be better.

The bad news is that you can't do anything in camera to get that result. The good news is that once you understand the possibilities you'll appreciate being able to control how your prints get framed (cropped). Your camera produces images in a 3:4 ratio while a 4 X 6 is a 2:3 ratio so if you don't know in advance that you need to crop some from the top, bottom, or both to make your image fit the 2:3 ratio & frame too tightly when taking the photo you're in trouble. Learn to shoot in a way that allows cropping to match common print sizes, and find a simple editing program to crop in computer. This should be standard practice because even though you may want a 4 X 6 now down the road you might want a 5 X 7 so keep your options open.
If you don't have an editing program that easily does this & you're on a PC download Picasa which is an excellent program for this & it's free. Once you have it running select one of your existing photos, select "crop" from the menues on the first tab & then play around with the different options Picasa has built in to see the effects to your image. NOTE that it won't throw away the data outside the crop box even though it may look like it has. You always have the option to "undo crop". Once you get a result you like you "export" & create a new file cropped as seen on screen WITHOUT modifying the original file.

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

If you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs.

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
