Core Center Update

I just updated my Core Center from version 1.6.1.0 to version 1.6.2.0 and now the FSB on the Cool & Quiet/Core Center shows 200 mhz where b/4 it was showing 400 mhz. Thats the only thing I did. I double checked the Bios to make sure it was still set to ddr400 which it was. So now what?

I beleive you are getting things mixed up. Core Center should have never shown 400mhz for the FSB. What Core Center displays is the Front Side Bus speed along with the multiplier (x10), not memory speed. So if it was showing 400mhz before (which was wrong), then its fixed now. If your FSB speed WAS running at 400mhz, then you'd be roasting marshmallows over your comp.
Your memory settings do not affect the FSB speed. Even though your memory is rated at ddr400, it still runs at 200 mhz (cpu-z does this), thats because it has to double it in order to run at 400. Thats the whole concept behind DDR. Same thing with ddr266, ddr333, etc..

Live Update 3 / Core Center Neo2-FIS2R

Ever since I update to Live Update 3 (from 2) and updated to the newest version of Core Center, I've been getting error messages like "Hardware monitor not found" or "Service not started." I usually get two or three error messages. This made my computer restart erratically. When I uninstall the software it stops, and then starts again when I reinstall it, even if I install the old version.

Hello,
I had exactly the same problem !
I tried to uninstall LiveUpdate and CoreCenter, then install PCAlert4 but without success (error message like "No hardware monitor"). After that I have uninstalled PCAlert4 and installed MBM then it's works fine !

Problems with Live Update 3 and Core Center

Hi All
I have just put together the system listed below. On the first boot-up screen "Live Update 2" is displayed on the top right of screen. I installed "Live Update 3" from the Drivers & Utilities CD supplied with the Mobo. On rebooting, the computer crashes straight after loading Windows. The problem occurs even after I downloaded the latest version.
I also installed Core Center from the same CD. This works fine until I try to switch user. It then comes up with the error "No Hardware Monitor Found" and crashes. The same thing happens after downloading the latest version.
What could be causing this?
Many thanks.

Upgrade BIOS and see what happens...

Neo2 defaut FSB frequency , live update and core center issues

Hi,
This is the point : i bought a brand new 915P Neo2 last week,
out of the box results : Windows XP SP2 install is OK right
now, Graphics Card is working properly but the system is
still unstable !
--> I decided to install MSI core center but while running
pc freezes !
---> tested MSI live update, packets download is working
but the tool is still unstable and pc freezes .... while testing system...
---> tested a small utility (third party) from intel website
to compute P4 target and actual frequency
this tool reports that my p4 is running at 3.24 Ghz,
I double checked and found that defaut FSB was set to 810 Mhz
even after hardreset and bios safe mode, CPU is running at 203 Mhz * 16 = 3248 Mhz
I really dont understand why reset value has been set to 203 Mhz ?? why not 200 Mhz
so MSI 915 P defaut setting is 1 % overclocking strategy ?
the bios setup is not really taken into account ??
have you ever pointed out this problem with defaut frequency ? is this a problem ?
what is your opinion regarding MSI utilities ?
I have a lot of random pc freezes, too many for this board !
all advices are welcome !!

I don't usually recommend bios updates, but you should seriously consider it if you can get the board to run stable.
Test your ram with Memtest86. This should give you an indication if you can do a flash from DOS, plus it will test the ram for you.
Try setting your FSB to 201. On the 865/875 boards that will hold the setting. 203 is typical of MSI and other manufacturers, but it really isn't high enough to be considered overclocking, and certainly isn't high enough to cause problems. But it keeps them in the race with the others when the reviewer's determine which board is best by looking at the decimal places.
You don't list your power supply data. Power and ram are the usual culprits, with heat being another.

Dual Core Center working in Vista but not XP on a dual boot system?

Hi All.
My system specs are:
Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate
Temps for CPU in Vista averaging at 43 - 45 degrees in XP averaging at 38 to 42 degrees. It never seems to go much higher than 53 on Load.
Thermaltake Soprano tower
MSI K9N Diamond Motherboard
Hiper 580watt Modular PSU
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
AMD X2 6000+
2 X 300gb diamond maxtor 10 HDD
MSI Geforce 7800gt
DVD Rom
LG Dual Layer DVDRW+/-
I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

Core Center displays in fahrenheit?

Ok, this might be a dumb question but I can't find the answer. I have a K8N Neo Platinum and A64 3200+ newcastle.
For some reason, my Core Center started reporting temps in Fahrenheit instead of Celcius. Degrees F is good if I want to know the weather, but I'm much more familiar with C when it comes to computer temps. How would I go about changing it back to C? Plus, for whatever reason, it seemed more accurate then (after updating the BIOS) than it does now.

Yeah...acts like a toggle switch when you right click...then pick!

Core Center 2.0.0.7 problems?

Just updated to Core Center 2.0.0.7, but its causing problems. For some odd reason Core Center won’t release so the system can shut down when asked
to… Couldn’t find 2.0.0.6, but did find 2.0.0.4 and installed it, no more problems shutting down.... hummmm.

That's interesting,since the s3 sleep mode don't work on my system,it just locks up.
I don't know why,since at first it did work,however,it's not that important to me.
I do have installed back and forth the nvidia driver series for my mainboard to no avail.
So i can't say if i can produce the same error.

is that ok with you Sir?
It's your pc, not mine. So, yes, it is alright with me. I don't bother when people mess up things for themselves. We're always here to help things get on the road again... and we're happy to do it.
Just try to see what I'm telling you: if you do not experience serious trouble, then leave things alone. Also, always try to decide if a program is really necessary or that you can do without it. For example, if you use corecenter mainly as a monitoring tool, I'd advice you to uninstall it and not to install any monitoring tool at all. You can set Cool & Quiet in BIOS and make it work by installing the AMD CPU driver (you already did, I suppose) and set power settings to Minimal power in Control Panel. This way, you system will not overheat and if it does, it will shut down automatically. Corecenter doesn't contribute to these functions in any way.

Core Center S/W loads as a process

System: MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R MB (BIOS AMI v1.5 061803), Intel 3.0GHz Canterwood Processor, 2GB (4x512MB) Crucial PC3200 Unbuffered ECC DDR400 Memory (CT6472Z40B), ATI AIW Radeon 9700 Pro 8X AGP Video, NVidia GForce 4 PCI Video (2nd Mon), SB Audidgy Platinum Ex Sound, (1) WD 40GB ATA133 Boot Drive, (2) Seagate 120GB SATA Drives RAID 0, (2) Maxtor ATA133 120GB Drives RAID 1, ASUS 16x DVD-ROM, Sony DRU DVD Writer, & Iomeg Zip250 drive. Running Windows XP Pro.
Problem: Core Center installs and loads as a process that is using 50% of my processor time instead of as an application. Can not get the Core Center Utility to run as shown on Page 1-6 of the 875P NEO Series Quick User's Guide. Have tried downloading updated version 1053. Any suggestions?

Hi JackH,
50% during startup load or all the way for the next few hours of usage? Try updating to the latest corecenter...
All the Best... :D!!!

Core Center Temps Reversed?

With my recent Live Updates, I updated Core Center to Ver. 1.7.3.0. Maybe I'm wrong, but the reported CPU and System temperatures now look reversed.

ok here is what i've found out or at least seems to be true. The temps are all messed up in both bios and core center. I tried bios 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, core center all I could try was the initial one that came with cd (seems to give same readouts I got with all the versions previous to the current one) and the current version.
I dont believe 3.6 reverses the temps, with all the bios's and corecenters the ambient/sys temp remains within one C. The core temp is the only thing that really changes.
Idle core temps with new core center
3.6 core 24C
3.5 core 45C
3.4 core 27C
3.2 core 27C
Idle core temps with previous core center
3.6 core 28C
3.5 core 50C
3.4 core 32C
3.2 core 32C
the temps from the older core center and bios 3.2/3.4 seemed to give me published real world expected temps. 3.5 went way high and it seems that the newer core center may have been made to adjust for the high temp by compensating and bringing it down some since the newer core center lowers all the temps compared to the older versions. 3.6 seems to have over corrected cpu temp and combind with the newer core center which is also lowering temps you get really low temps. I went back to older corecenter and the 3.2 bios and now my readings are around 31C idle (26C ambient) up to around 50C if i push it.

O/C with Core Center won't save.

I am trying to o/c with Core Center utility, and it works quite nicely. However, the o/c session will not save. as soon a I restart, all setting are lost and I have to use Core Center to re- o/c. Are there any BIOS updates to fix this?
Thanks.

This is true...Core center...is crap. Don't use it. In fact, save yourself a few headaches by uninstalling corecenter altogether. Dynamic overclocking utilities, overall, are faulty. Corecenter is no different.

Core Center with XP64

Does anyone know if Core Center monitor will work with xp64?

as stated it wont work YET ... but according to planetamd64 MSI sent an e-mail reply to one the peeps saying that MSI drivers will be available by the end of march ... dont know if that will include core centre and auto updater though
lets us pray they mean EVERYTHING including radeon drivers and all available hardware software drivers that we could wish for

New Core Center Ver. 1.6.6.0 Out

MSI Core Center ReleaseDate: 2004-6-1
Version 1.6.6.0
Under,downloads for motherboard-utility

OK guys.
Seeing you are in and out of live update.
On this machine it recognises the 1.71 bios, and if I click on Live Bios Update the dialog box says there are 3 changes from previous version
"1. This is AMI BIOS release.
2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- Memory always run DDR 200 when install single side DDR on DIMM2 & DIMM3.
- Windows 2000 can't format the RAID IDE HDD when plug in Promise 378 controller.
3. 2004/05/06"
If any of you are still on 1.6, is this differant, as I did not pick up on the change with single and double sided mem. Which may help with certain Ram Sticks, and Snoppy to keep using win2K.

PC Alert or Core Center???

is it possible to instal pc alert on K7N2 mobo? ther is no pc alert in live update for this mobo. core center is ugly and i dont understand it

I have never used PC alert,but have used both Core Center and Speed Fan.I guess it depends on your system which works best for you.I have seen post where users have alot of problems with Core Center.The only problem I had with CC was the temps were 4 deg lower then Bios stated.I downloaded Speed fan and checked.It was "EXACTLY"the same as the Bios temps.
Believe it or not,I had Core Center and Speed Fan both loaded on PC and open at the same time on the desk top to compare the 2.They were 4 deg apart on system and CPU temps.So I removed CC and use Speed Fan now instead.On my board it even picks up the temps of the HDD's through smart feature.And I did not even turn it on in the Bios I did turn it on to see if the temps would change but made no difference,so I disabled SMART in the Bios and Speed Fan still picks up HDD temps

Core Center support

I have a MS-7025 K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard in a ready built desktop. Core Center 1.7.1.0 says it does not support my motherboard. I think this might be becuase the PC manufacturer name appears as the manufacturer of the mainboard in Infoview. Live Update etc all seem to work fine.
Anyone know how I can make this work or of an alternative?

I'm confused!! I'm wondering if your "ready built" system was once a different system. Or if an OS image was used from a different system.
Have you tried reinstalling?
