BIOS support for DTR Cpu's

Just wondering if anyone knew if MSI was working on better support for DTR and mobile Cpu's with it's next bios revision?
It's neat that I can get my CPU to run 1.5v and 10x multi through clockgen, but It'd be really nice if I could just set it and forget it in bios...

I realy hope so, as i can only run it at proper mutlipliers with 1 memory stick in slot 1, not sure if this is because of the corsair memory, or the boards support for dtr's (i think it is the later).

BIOS SUPPORT FOR NEW CPUS!!!!

hello
new post , i just got this board (6547 v1.0) board with a celeron 1.7 (clocked at 125mhz ) 2.14ghz and is total stable.
v1.8 bios support up to a 1.8 cel, are they going to make a update to support a 2hz cel, OR have they droped support for it.
and where can you get beta bios for this and other board (msi-development site).... ?( ;(

Does ASPIRE 7738G Bios support T9600 PGA478 CPU?

Hihave an Aspure 7738G with T6600 and want to swap it with FSB 1066 T9600. So Does ASPIRE 7738G Bios support T9600 PGA478 CPU? From what I can read the chipset 45 does support most 2 Core Duo P socket chips. The T6600 is FSB 800 but the 7738G supports both FSB 800 and 1066. Can buy a new HP T9600 (spare part) and want to know will the Bios support it.

KarstenE,
I do not see that we have tested that specific processor in this system, but I do see that we have some models that use 1066 FSB speed CPUs, for example: P7450, P8600, P8700, Q9000, T9550.

Best BIOS for DTR CPU

Wondering if anybody with a DTR CPU can tell me which BIOS version they know will work. I can boot at a 4x lock, and then proceed to windows for full speed via clockgen right now, but that is with the defacto shipping BIOS version.
I have a 3200+ DTR and am getting zero results with overclocking (actually currently underclocked to 9x200 for full prime95 testable stability). I want to try a new BIOS, but the last thing I need is to lock myself out by updating to a version which won't even boot a DTR.
Questions, comments, answers? Fire away, and thanks in advance.

First off, thanks for the quick reply Ish. What improvments went into 1.2b5, do you know? Did it help your overclocking results at all? Also, I just wanted to mention that tedinde from the overclockers.org forum noted that half multi's can be detrimental to stability and performance. Thanks again for the info, I'll track down a copy of 1.2b5 and see what happens...
Are you using a raid0 by the way? I'm wondering if that might be why my setup won't o/c worth a so far...

MSI GT70 0ND-219US Bios settings for fastest cpu, and maybe gpu performance?

What is the best BIOS's settings (I have the unlocked BIOS)
For overclock cpu on startup and GPU

Honestly? Stock. There's little to no performance gain overall for the CPU.
You can't change the GPU performance from the BIOS.
If you're asking these types of questions, you're probably better off not changing anything without doing a TON of research first. There's plenty of website out there that detail what you can do, and why, and how it really isn't very effective (especially in the mobile space) just because you can't increase it as much as you can on the desktop space (in some cases).
Unless you have upgraded the CPU from the 3610 that was originally installed in your laptop, overclocking is really pointless.

BIOS support for CPU upgrade

Hello...we have a ca. 5 year-old dv6-1253cl notebook that I've upgraded to 8GB memory, new SDD, new USB 3.0 card...what I'd like to do next is replace stock Intel P7550 processor with either the Intel T9xxx or an Intel P9xxx series. From the service manual, the system board/chipset will support up to the T9900 @ TDP = 35W, and up to the P8800 @ TDP = 25W. My question is: can I go beyond the P8xxx to P9xxx (e.g., P9700) even though that series isn't specifically called out in manual? Others have successfully swapped out P7xxx for T9xxx CPUs on this particular model, but I'm inclined to maintain close to the stock TDP specs, and keep to P-series. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any advice given.

I think I have the same family line as yours and I did upgrade it to a T9900 and it works great. I think I got like 4gig in it right now and formatted it to Windows 7x64 Ultra Sp1.

Z68A-GD80(G3) Beta BIOS Versions For Ivy CPU's (Review)

Since the release of the original vJ0 Ivy UEFI/BIOS update package, are there any Beta's currently available? Also, if there are any, do they flash both chips as the vJ0 update did or just the primary chip?

UEFI/BIOS Beta update went without a hitch on the Z68 that has the Ivy in it. The v1.24h flash tool worked perfectly. This Beta version turns the Z68A-GD80(G3)'s into an OC monster with a Sandy or Ivy CPU!
Without much trouble, had the 3770k at 47X on Auto CPU V. and all power saving features operational and intact, plus the new Corsair Platinum's running two 8GB 2133 kits (not recommended to mix kits) for a total of 16GB's @ 2400 on only 1.632v's. Capable of more CPU speed, but the Ivy's get too darn hot even running a low voltage IMO at full load (85C), and I actually experienced a slight performance loss in 7-Zip at the 47X level. IBT showed less than 2 GFlops gain between 46X and 47X.
Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133's running at 2400;
7-Zip 46X VS 47X. 46X and RAM speed 2200 with tight timings (CR 1, 9 10 10 24, tRFC 88), 47X and RAM speed 2400 with relaxed timings.
Load transition towards 100% and post full load;
Didn't intend to turn this thread into a review, but so impressed with this particular Beta, had to share what I found.
This thread may be commandeered by an admin or mod for future use for new Z68A-GD80(G3) Beta's.
Thanks again Svet for providing this Beta. It is a winner!

Do MSI intend to implement BIOS support for IOMMU in its 890FXA-GD70 ??

All three of Asus 890FX boards officially support IOMMU in their BIOS -
see the following two links:
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20100609185547531&SLanguage=en-us&board_id=1&model=M4A89TD%20PRO/USB3
and
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20100606232119109&board_id=1&model=Crosshair+IV+Formula&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
Now we ask for MSI's official stance on implementing IOMMU support in an upcoming BIOS for its 890FXA-GD70 motherboard.
And, if affirmative answer could you give us an approximate date when to expect a beta BIOs to try out?
The following OS environments should be able to take advantage of any hardware I/O virtualization support:
-Xen 4
-Linux+KVM
-Vmware ESX(i) (VMDirectPath)
-Parallels Workstation Extreme 4.
-Plus there's also a IOMMU wish ticket out for Oracle's Virtualbox...

I contacted AMD a few weeks ago to clarify whether the IOMMU feature is available in the 890 FX chipset and this was their response:
"Thank you for contacting AMD. I would like to verify for you that yes, the 890FX chipset does offer the IOMMU feature, however you will want to keep in mind that manufacturers can decide to enable or disable this feature through the BIOS and therefore you will want to verify with manufacturer of your specific board. But in short, yes it does offer the ability to do so."
Pre-Sales Support -> http://us.msi.com/msi_user/PreSaleForm.aspx
I had contacted pre-sales support before purchasing my board and they said IOMMU was supported, however now that I have the board I know that the bios does not have the necessary support. Most likely they just thought I was asking about SVM.
I submitted a support ticket asking when/if they were planning to add support but again there was some confusion about it being different from SVM. Still waiting to hear back, I'll let you know when I do.

No BIOS support for USB? Cannot boot from USB HDD

Hi,
I was attempting to install a couple of operating systems (Linux, Windows Vista CTPs) on my external hard disk (USB 2.0, Firewire). And I cannot seem to - because there does not seem to be any way to specify USB device support in your boot sequence. It seems the BIOS configuration is limited to these 5 basic icons (no text underneath to even let you know what they stand for) - which seem to stand for HDD, CD/DVD, network, etc, but no USB hard drives (I don't believe FDD counts)?
Windows Vista's installation for example complains that the BIOS does not support booting off my external hard disk - as does linux.
Or am I missing something . . . ?
Regards,
-krish

Hi Krish
As far as I know it is not possible to boot from external HDD. If you want to install more different operating systems you can do it directly on the notebook HDD or even install them as virtual machine. I use VMware Workstation and I have install two different operating systems there (W2K and Linux).

BIOS support for SATA-3 / Vertex 3 SSD

Just got the feedback from Lenovo
==
Our BIOS tends to do a check for "authorized" drives. Assuming the drive would pass our white list (I don't know for sure without directly trying it), then yes, it would work at SATA 600 (a.k.a SATA 3 speeds)."
==
So please put the Vertex 3 (the market leading SSD) on the white list in the BIOS so that it utilizes SATA-3 performance.
Many customers worldwide are eagerly awaiting this - including me

I do not believe that for one second. OEM BIOS' are known to check addon cards against a whitelist but they have never been known to whitelist disk drives. You should be able to use any SATA drive that fits into the system.
EDIT: The T410s also happens to use 1.8" SATA drives, therefore you will not be putting a Vertex 3 into it unless you use the ultrabay caddy.

Dv7-3010so BIOS support for large 2nd HDD

I'm planning on installing a second hdd in my W7 Entertainment PC (1st HDD 320 GB SATA) and I've found a caddy, the drive I have is 9.5 mm thick and there is a 750GB unit with the same thickness.
My question is: will the BIOS recognize a 750 GB disk?
Previous notebooks I've had have been throttled so that it wasn't possible to install much larger disks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes the BIOS will have no problem. The 750 gig drive will work like a treat. SATA hard drives are not BIOS size limited like we used to see with IDE drives. Your last laptop must have been in the Windows 2000 era because since XP Service Pack 2 and Pentium 4 processors (2002-3 or so) even IDE drives have used Large Block (48 bit) addressing, and there has not really been a hard drive size limit, but I am old enough to recall when 512 megs, then 8.4 gigs, then 32 gigs then 123 gigs was the insurmountable barrier.

Why no support for Nightblade Z97

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm MSI Nightblade Z97 owner.
Why there is no utility and BIOS support for Nightblade Z97 ?
It has MSI Z97I Gaming AC mobo with Nightblade BIOS.
I can't install and use utilities like MSI Command Center, because software does not support the motherboard. Probably due to Nightblade BIOS.
The support tab on Nightblade Z97's page does not even contains any driver updates and only contains Dragon Fan utility, that is ridiculous.
I wish it had the same BIOS with the MSI Z97I Gaming AC mobo, so i could get the latest BIOS updates and utilities.
Sincerely.

Not really expecting to get an answer to my question (Can I use the Gaming AC's BIOS for the Nightblade?) from the super users here so I e-mailed MSI support. Here's the response...
Quote
Dear Customer,
We don't suggest the behaviour.
The BIOS on our Nightblade webpage particular made for the barebone. We have specific code on the BIOS.
I managed to install the latest BIOS (version 1.90) for the MSI Nightblade Z97 days ago without any problems. Still curious about the MSI Z97i Gaming BIOS so I tried installing it via a bootable flash drive. Unfortunately, the BIOS file cannot be installed as it's not even recognized. So you can only install a BIOS customized for the Nightblade even if the Nightblade motherboard itself is labeled as MSI Z97i Gaming motherboard.

CPU Support for 945P Neo5-F

I have read the CPU Support list for 945P Neo5-F. My question is do you have do a bios upgrade to run any of the CPU's listed or will they run with the factory bios. Will a CPU with a CPU code not listed work? Board is in the mail. don't know what bios is installed. Looking to pick up a CPU before the board gets here, want to make sure it will work. Don't want to buy another CPU just to install a Bios update.
Thanks Senkoboy .......

And here I allways thought Celeron for the most part was the lower cost versions with less cache memory than the Pentiums. Like the Sempron compared to Athlon in AMD.
