Can hit 334FSB using MSI Dual Core center....but

While in windows i can hit 334FSB(Everest clocks it @333) yet when i go to the BIOS and try to set it up in there its hit and miss when i boot into windows
I have not overclocked anything for years so maybe i am a little rusty....could some one give me some guidance.
Here is a quick run down of what i have for hardware.  This report was taken from Everest Ultimate Edition 2007

Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with the overclocking abilities of your particular motherboard but one thing jumps out at me ...
Your memory is 533 and you are running your system at FSB 334
That means you are running your memory at 334 x 2 (double rate) = 668
So your memory may hold you back from going much higher, the board and chip should not have a problem going higher..
If you are able to manually set the timings for your memory in the bios, try relaxing them to 5-5-5-15, maybe that will allow you to raise your FSB a bit more...

  • MSI Dual Core Center

    Dual Core Center is a great tool but one thing that is annoying me is the FAN speed detector. I didn't plug fan into one of the header so Dual Core Center's alarm will be on all the time. Is there anyway to disable the alarm?

  • P6NGM and MSI Dual Core Center - can't change FSB

    I'm running Vista Business 32.  Just installed a P6NGM with a E6750 and updated all the MSI utilities to current version - but I can't change the FSB anywhere. I can't click the "D.O.T." button on the main menu, and there are no arrows near it. In the advanced screen, the FSB +/- buttons are grayed out.   How do I enable its FSB overclocking?

    Are you using the latest Version of DCC?
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1330
    I downloaded and installed this version -- but, as the tool does not appear to have an "About" box that gives its version, I can't really confirm that it is indeed the latest one.

  • P6N platinum and Dual Core Center

    Hi,
    When I attempt to use the Dual Core Center I get an error:
    0xc0000005 Program failed to start, press OK to end.
    I have updated the BIOS, Dual Core Center, Nvidea drivers, .NET framework etc no change.
    Tech support told me that the Dual Core Cell chip on the board was bad so I got a second board without change.
    I really don't care about the OC'ing features, I want to monitor temps and control fans.
    I have tried Speedfan, it does not control the fans plugged to the mobo headers. Neither does Nvideas tool (Nview).
    Infact nothing I have tried will control the fans.
    Suggestions?

    I think the program is horrible...don't waste your time with it.
    If it works, good! It doesn't tend to fuss.
    But if it doesn't work, uninstall it.
    CoreTemp and Everest like Jack says are the best.
    Fan speeds however your out of luck with. You can submit a report through Speedfan to the author however.

  • Dual Core Center hates me

    My MSI P965 Platinum woes continue   
    Firstly, my DVD burner wouldn't work properly until I flashed the BIOS. How can you ship a motherboard where something a simple as the IDE channel doesn't work properly. Looking at the number of threads here where the JMicron chip was the issue I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet.
    Secondly, I finally got my HHD speeds back to normal after installing my system with my SATA ports set to RAID and the RAID drivers (even though I'm not using RAID). Today though I am experiencing random system freezing and even a reboot.
    Now my latest headache is with the Dual Core Center that just won't work. And I do have the .NET 3 Framework installed. It installs fine, but when I try run it crashes and says DCC has encountered an error and needs to shutdown.

    This IS the most frustrating motherboard I've ever used. And I've used a lot   
     

    My question would be why are you using Dual Core Centre at all?
          * it is well know that it is a poor utility
          * Overclocking better off done in the bios.
          * Use Coretemp or SIV 3.14 for monitoring temps, and CPU-Z.

  • Dual Core Center displaying wrong CPU clock speed

    Hi,
    I've got the 965 Platinum board and I have overclocked my E6300 Allendale to 2.331ghz (from 1.86ghz).  My problem is that the MSI Dual Core Center is showing my CPU as being clocked at 2.997mhz.  It seems to think that, because I've upped the FSB to 333mhz, I must have a CPU with a multiplier of 9 instead of the 7 of the E6300.
    If Dual Core Center is not reading the CPU clock correctly how can I trust that it's reading the temperature right (which is really the only reason Ihave it loaded at all).  I know the CPU is only set at 2.331 because the BIOS gets it right, System Properties gets it right and Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool gets it right.  It's only the Dual Core Center that gets it wrong.

    Make sure you are using the newest version of DCC.
    Other than that, DCC might not be the best tool to monitor your system.

    To monitor core tempertatures use Coretemp: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/
    A very good program to monitor all kinds of stuff ist everst 3.5.

  • DKA790GX Platinum, have problem with changing FSB in Dual Core Center

    Hello guys, freshblood is here,
    I change fsb in Dual core center, but unfort.  core temp and CPUZ don't reflect any changes.

    I agree.  The BIOS gives you better control with better options.

  • [solved] Dual Core Center alarm sound inconsistency

    Hey,
    My Dual Core Center sounds an alarm since my CPU fan is running too slow (below 1000 rpm). Fair enough. When selecting User Settings and a profile with a lower rpm border value the alarm goes away, but when restarting it sometimes return to the Default profile making the alarm come back.
    How do I permanently remove this alarm, or at least make the user profile run at every startup?
    No wonder everyone discards the DualCoreCenter utility.
    Cheers!

    Browse through the MSI/Dual Core Center folder and look for a configuration file named HW.INI. Open it with an editor tool or wordpad and you should see about this (click on the picture to enlarge it):
    To turn off the alarm permanently, "SOUNDWARNING" has to be set to "SOUNDWARNING=0".  You can also keep the sound alarm enabled (=1) and lower the threshold value for the CPU FAN ("FAN_LOWER_LIMIT") from "1000" to 700 or whatever works best for you.

  • Dual Core Center - not worth bothering with?

    Hi,
    New to this forum so please bear with me!
    Just installed a K9N Neo V3 and upgraded to latest BIOS.
    Have installed latest version of Dual Core Center software and when I select the the Silent option withing a few seconds the window pops up and it starts playing a Siren sound like something is wrong. It reports the CPU FAN RPM as quite low - but then I have a Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 CPU cooler which controls the speed based on temp.
    I cant find any instructions on how to use / configure Dual Core Center. How do you adjust warning levels?
    Can you adjust the System Fan Speeds based on Temperature?
    I tried uninstalling Dual Core Center and installing the latest version of SpeedFan 4.33 but that wont show any FANs at all on the main screen or config screen.
    Are there any other software worth trying?
    Thanks In Advance

    The two SYS FANS that I have installed.
    Anyways I seem to have solved the problem - the two fans came with Molex adaptors etc so I just swapped the 12v & 5v connectors round and connected them to the PSU rather than the MB connectors.
    Now the PC is ultra queit and still has two fans sucking warm air out - albeit only running at around 900RPM
      OK... I'D Like to Understand, If those fans came with Molex Adaptors, How did you Connect them to the Mainboard in first Place?
    Now this is How I modded 2 X 12mm FANS that were Molex and came along with my Case.
    Chopped off a 3 Pin cable from Old Cpu Cooler That was not being used, Insert the 3 Pin Cable into one of the Fans Molex Adapter as an extension. Because the molex connectors on these fans are Usable via Male/Female, simply connect The 2nd Fan to the 1st one and hooked it up to My Fan Controller, now I have the Ability to control 2 fans on 1 Knob, and I Do Wick them both up to keep My System cool under Load. The Fan Controller is the reason I needed them on a 3 Pin, could easily use both fans on One 5V ZM-MC1 connector just the same.

  • Dual Core Center- MSI 8800 GTS and MSI P6N SLI Platinum.

    I have both the MSI 650i MOBO and the MSI 8800 GTS vidcard. When using an Asus P5B Dlx MOBO and this vidcard, Dual Core Center was installed and displayed the information for the videocard and allowed a mild OC. Now with both MSI products in the case, Dual Core Center only displays the information on the MOBO-- no 8800 GTS information. The tab at the top for the VGA does not bring up anything.  ??? I have tried installing the version on each one of the disks that came with each piece of equipment again and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it doesn't work. I downloaded the most recent version of the utility from the MSI site and still get only the MOBO information. How do I get the display for the video card?
    Or since the MSI utilities typically are listed on the forums as not being the greatest, what else can I/should I be using instead?
    {I put this in the MOBO forum too as it hits both areas...}

    Found that AtiTool (latest beta) works on the 8800's. The "find max core" and "find max memory" don't work perfectly though, as they start the overclock and then are supposed to check for errors; they are supposed to stop the adjustment upward when they encounter erros and come back down......    AtiTool just kept cranking it up, although you could visibly see the little 3D screen artifact all over the place. But It gave a good starting place to do the OC manually and then go run the scan for artifacts and errors manually.  AtiTool listed the stock core at 513 and stock memory at 792. I was able to take the core up to ~644 and the memory up to ~877. I backed these off some (as you can't run both at max!) and it looked stable at 630 core, 860 memory.  Ran through both 3DMark 05 and 3DMark06 without a hitch. Need to check it out with some extended gameplay now.

  • Help...MSI 975x Platinum PUE + Dual Core Center + MSI 7900 GTX

    I have an MSI 7900GTX on my MSI975x MB.  I've read the dual core center manual and it states that Dual Core Center can also monitor VGA temps and whatnot as long as it's an MSI Graphics card.  Currently I am unable to monitor VGA stats on Dual Core Center due to the fact that it is greyed out.  Can anyone tell me how to activate this feature?

    To know you GPU temps, you can access it via Display Properties for nVidia cards and for ATi cards, you can view via the ATI Control Panel.
