Bios tweaks for a K9A Platinum

Any one have some tweaks for this MB
AMD 6400 black box CPU
2gig corsair value
ATI 2900xt crossfire
500gig sata hard drive

What are you referring to with "tweaks"?
You can't gain extra performance in the BIOS without overclocking.

BIOS update for MSI P45D3 Platinum 64bit

Can't find BIOS update for MSI P45D3 Platinum that support my 64bit xp.
Is it possible to find?
- Kristoffer

What exactly is your problem? You should not need BIOS update for an OS install. >> Posting Guide << >> Drivers <<
Don't update BIOS unless absolutely needed for some other problem.

Is there a new bios coming for P6N SLI Platinum for E8400 ?

Hi everyone,
( My system specs are in the signature )
I have been thinking to upgrade my cpu to E8400, but after some time passing through the forums, internet and asking some of my friends, I have decided not to. This is because I have seen many people frustrated and trying get their E8xxx's working on their moboard with endless efforts because of the wrong information given in the CPU support list of P6N-SLI Platinum. Yet, I have seen that only a few people have managed to get it work but with risky, manual adjustments.
So here is my question, will there be a new bios for P6N SLI Platinum that will make E8xxx series post without any adjustments for the users that want to stick with their P6N SLI Plat.?

Please ask here:

Wich bios driver for 915P neo2 platinum-54g

915P neo2 platinum-54g m-board
P4 630 3,0GHZ cpu
2*512M Kingston 533MHz DDR2
Club3d 128MB Radeon x300se hypermem PCI-E
not sure of the power, but think it's 300w, 20-pin connector. (waiting a new power on monday, 400w ultra-low noise)
Sound Blaster Live! Platinum
So I read from the MSI site that the 915p neo2 platinum doesnt support p4 630, but the cpu support list says it does after the bios update..
But now Im not sure wich bios driver to use cause I cant find the exact model from the site.
I use that comp as a music studio comp and I get a crash in about half an hour the comp is on.. (using cubase program)
At first the crash appeared at cubase startup, but after I updated the g-card & s-card drivers the crash was post-poned to that half an hour..
But still, when I try the Core Center programs Auto overclocking test it crashes almost straight away.. Once I got from 200MHz to 205 MHz
Other times it crashed straight away..
So I think myself that the bios driver is the key, but Im not sure of it.
Or wich driver to use.. the 915P Neo2 Platinum (7028v18) or 915P Neo2 Platinum v1.0b (7028v36)

use MSI life update to update your BIOS, to minimise to kill your mobo.
its not connected to the internet and I dont want to connect it cause its for music only...

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.

hi all ,does any here have any stable settings? i want to change settings in the bios ,tried the duel core DOT and its not much good ,i have windows 7 x64 build 7600,and a T1 thermaltake heatsink , i get it up to around 3.2ghz with the DOT ,stills stays cool only around 19c to 21c even under load,but when i start ruunig some games it freezes up ,i have 2x4870 ati cards 512ddr4 in crossfire ,they pass all the tests with flying colors ,but i know this is capable of much more, oh,, sorry i forgot ,, my bios version is the newest one, whatever that maybe .i dont feel like leaving windows right now , but i just updated last week.right from msi.com website.

Please recommend OC settings for MSI K9A Platinum and AM2 6000+

OS is Vista Ultimate x64. BIOS revision is 1.7.
Memory is Corsair XMS DDR2-800 5-5-5-18-2T. I have 2 Diamond HD2900XT's in crossfire default clocks 825/1075 using driver 7.10. At stock everything runs stable. No crashes in any games. I have a 92mm intake fan feeding the two video cards which exhaust out the back. PSU is the PC Power and Cooling 750 single rail. CPU heatsink is stock.
I am really only looking to OC the CPU. So does anyone with the same motherboard haven any recommendations? Or any of you skilled overclockers?

Holy mother of thread resurrections!
Open up a new topic if you have any problems, do not revive old ones.
Thank you.

MOVED: I think a bios update for the dka790gx platinum is in order

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=130180.0

I can check these timings using AMD Overdrive 3.02 (AOD). Performance control lets you play with lots of features in memory timing that are not in the BIOS. I used it to tighten up on memory timings get memory benchmark >2900 consistently with AOD's benchmarking utility. I did this at stock settings.
And the problem is there is a bug in the bios. Least I think it is a bug. The only time you get EPP limits on the values you can choose in the memory timings configuration screen of the bios is if you set the memory multiplier to 2.66:1, with or without EPP enabled. Otherwise it puts JDAC 400(DRR2 800) limits on the values. I want to have the freedom to set my timings to EPP 533 limits(DDR2 1066) when I am using a memory multiplier less than 2.66:1, like 2:1 or 1.66:1, so I don't have to up the voltage to much to get a solid stability test. I can get a good stability test with the DRAM Voltage set to 2.2, and memory is cheap enough I just might see how long they last like that, but I really want this bug in the bios fixed. I am sure it is in all of the MSI boards that use ATI 790GX chips.
I have been trying to figure out is enabling EPP does anything except lock you into the EPP timings when you are at 2.66:1. With EPP set to enabled I should be able to set my timings to CL=5, tRTC=5, tRP=5, tRAS=12-18, tRC=25-31, tWTR=3-5, tWR=8. Having the freedom to set these to EPP limits at any memory multiplier is crucial to successful overclocking on the nb/ht reference clock. How can we get MSI to make this a part of the next bios update? Without this correction, I am limited to tRC=26, tWR=6, tWTR=3, these are the JDAC limits not the EPP limits. We should see EPP limits if it is enabled. Least that's what it says in the nearly not informative help side panel.

Is it possible to order bios chip 1b for K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hi there im wondering if its possible to order from msi or elsewere bios 1b for K8N Neo2 Platinum seeing as i have the bios tools here, if so whats the install procedure and setup please or any other releviant information?, i have 1.5 everything works fine but theres no way i want to flash
Thanks Blackrat7768

My issues are:
Improve compatilbility problem with some USB 2.0 devices
BIOS reported incorrect CPU temperature.
If you have the d-bracket installed, it may help to completely disconnect it. Sometimes it will cause inaccurate temp readings. You can always plug it back in if you need it for troubleshooting.
I unhooked mine & my reported CPU temps dropped by 8C...

K9A Platinum audio drivers won't install

I am trying to install the audio drivers for my K9A Platinum off of the cd that came with it and it gets about halfway through and the it says "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !!" Does anyone know what I could do?

Well, check all things already mentioned...
- Bios: onboard sound enabled?
- clean Windows install;
- also, you can try the native drivers (not from MSI-website, but from Realtek's)
@Fredrik: I'm not going to spend time trying to understand Windows. XP is pretty good, but it still can be as stupid as possible... No use digging up the causes, there are too many possibilities that can cause the problems. Also, keep in mind that far most of the people don't get these problems. It looks like everyone has this problem, but that is because this is a tech support forum... people don't get in here to tell us that soemthing is working all right.

Availabillity in Canada: K9A Platinum

this is my first post and i gotta say, you guys have an obscene ammount of smilies...
banywho, iv been looking for the K9A Platinum everywhere, i went through all the MSI suppliers i could find, none carry this board. i went thru all the sites/ other ratailers i could find, none (of the canadian people) carry this board.
so whats the deal? i really really want a board on the Xpress 3200 chipset, and one that overclocks. ECS has a board thats rock solid... stock. Asus has a board thats brown colored with a weird layout and none of the cool over clocking features, aside from FSB.
Ati is Canadian, and you dont even dignify us with our own chipset?
can someone gemme an ETA or a link to a supplier/site that does carry these boards?
thanks

Mr Wizard
The only place I can find it listed here in Canada is this place. I checked them out with the BBB and they seem to be a reputable site.

When is going to be released official new bios for k9a platinum

Hi,
as I write in topic, when is going to be released new bios for k9a platinum?
thanks

That is a Kuma CPU and as such it is not and probably will not be supprted on your older MB.
Here is a list of MBs that support 7550 Kuma, 7750 it appears like is too new to be on any MSI MB CPU support list yet however it it should be supported on them as well.
K9A2 CF, K9AGM3-F, K9A2 Neo-F
K9N2GM-F V2, K9N2 SLI Platinum / K9N2 Zilent, K9N2G Neo
K9A2GM V3, KA790GX, KA780G-M
KA790GX-M, KA780GM-M, KA780GM

MSI k9a Platinum + PowerColor 1950 pro extreme + bios v1.6

Hello! At motherboard stood version firmware v1.4 Run test 3DMark2005 and received 10,444 importance to my configuration (which is a good figure). Then Live Update pointed out that there are newer BIOS v1.6, I flash. Then began receiving in 7048 3DMark2005 :( Tried to reinvent the windows XP, set new driver, not helped, Clear CMOS. ReFlash to version v1.3 (why not found on the website version v1.4), and miracle! 3DMark2005 shows 10456 . It can be concluded to reduce speed blame new BIOS. So do not recommend placing Edition v1.4 above.
Sorry for my English. I used a translator from GOOGLE
AMD 5200+ windsor
MSI k9a platinum
PowerColor X1950 PRO Extreme 256MB
DDR-2 1Gb 800 Elixir *2
Western Digital Serial ATA II (WD3200AAJS) - 8Mb, 7200rpm
Chieftec LBX-02BBSL 450W

Here we go AGAIN, I will explain this AGAIN .......
Do not flash the bios if there aren't any problems!
Flashing the bios is only usefull if you experience compatibility problems between certain hardware devices in your pc. So, leave the bios alone!
A BIOS IS NOT A DRIVER!
And, like it is with drivers, newer is not always better! Some driver/bios are meant only for newer hardwaremodels.
LEAVE IT ALONE, UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED TO MESS WITH IT.
So, Foxyrus, lesser points in 3DMark was completely your own fault, not MSI's. Telling people not to use the 1.6 bios is nonsense. In your case it did not work, but for some folks it probably will work.

Again prob with K9A Platinum BIOS ....

After the 1.5 BIOS of the K9A Platinum , BIOS went downhill .... I'm not using either 1.6 or 1.7 now cause my 8800GTX doesn't run ok.It seems it runs downclocked.For example when 3Dmark06 starts , with 1.5 i have 65FPS , with 1,6 and 1.7 i have 37FPS .I had in the past opened a thread here having that prob and in the end it was the BIOS.I was really hoping the 1.7 would solve this issue , but no ... And except that i have an AMD X2 5200+ and i wonna put extra voltage to o/c it but 1.25 is way low.My pc posts just fine in the beginning but doesn't boot on windows.I really think that if the highest vcore voltage value to set to M/B was 1.5 i would be able to o/c my CPU and boot in windows.Hope 1.8 will fix those probs ...

Stick with the BIOS that works best!
BIOS versions are NOT updates! they are bug-fixes....
Newer revisions doe not nessesary offer better OC or better workings...
Also, do not count on too much OC fixes, as they don't make new revisions to solve OC problems.
(They might, but normaly not)
So go back to 1.5
