Does the 975x platinum PE really support 1066MHz DDR2?

 ???
Hello I recently purchased a 975x Platinum edition and basically have two queries. First on the MSI press center page for this motherboard it clearly states it will support the newer 1066mhz ddr2 ram
    * Base on Intel® 975X Express Chipset
    * Support LGA775 Intel Core™ 2 Processors
    * Support 1066/800/533 MHz FSB
    * Support DDR2-1066/800/667/533
    * 2 PCI Express x16& 2 PCI Express x1 slots
    * Support ATi CrossFire Technology
    * 4+1 SATA2 3Gb/s Support RAID
    * Support 7.1 Channel Dolby MS HD Audio
    * Support Intel® PRO Gigabit LAN
    * Communication Slot
    * Dual CoreCell on Board

IT also says it supports max of 8gb of ram using 4 slots.
as far as i know I haven't seen any 2gb modules.
I've read some of the concerns on this forum and have noticed people have had trouble getting their module up to 800mhz. What's the deal here.
Thanks.

Hi Rodruff,
As you see by my specs below I am running 1066mhz memory, I went for the cheap stuff Kingston Hypre PC8500 and Am running it at 1060mhz. I can not overclock it but I can recommend your bios settings for you as I went through quite a bit of testing.
I have a 60mm fan attached to both my north bridge and south bridge,needed to get over 300mhz clock. I am using bios beta 716 and my proc @2.8GHZ nice and stable. I have found that this bios is stable and gives correct ratios for memory.
Your memory may differ from mine but I can not push my FSB past 353mhz as this would force my memory into overclocking and it won't take it.
FSB:Dram = 1:1.5 = 1:3/2 = 353:530 (double the data rate so effective is 1060mhz) My memory would only work at ratios 1:1 or 1:1.5, yours may differ but it's a good starting point. I have my Vcore @1.3 for a 353mhz FSB.
Technically if you want to run your proc at stock you should be able to run 1:2 ratio, 267:533 but mine can not run @1066 exact so I would have to lower my clock, no thanks. You may need to up your vdram to 2.2 for these higher ratios but you will need to check your memory specs to confirm.
Also you will need to set your memory timing manually, mine being 5-5-5-15 but I am running 4-4-4-12 ok. You will need to check your mem specs to get your timing though.
Lastly there are some settings to disable in the bios as to not mess with your overclocking -
Advanced settings/CPU settings -
Disable Speed step
Disable C1E something?
Disable Visualisation
Cell Menu -
Disable Spread spectrum
Disable PCI clk
Let us know how you get on - Remember that if the board doen't like your overclock it goes into a no dosplay/reboot cycle. Power down and press the power button twice to reset bad setting. That fails press the bios reset switch located in the front left  hand corner of the board.
Good Luck

  • Does the 975x platinum PE support boot from OCZ revodrive?

    Hi all!
    Does anyone know if the 975x platinum powerup edition motherboard supports an OCZ revodrive x2 on its second long scale PCIe slot and also boot from it?

    The board is going to be 5 years old this year and the RevoDrive is a pretty new piece of hardware.  That basically means three things:
    1.) Active BIOS Development was stopped about 2 years ago.  Whatever the case is with the RevoDrive, there will most likely not be a BIOS Fix in case any issues should surface.
    2.) MSI has most likely never tested an OCZ RevoDrive 2 on this mainboard is most probably not going to do so in the future (they won't dig every old board out of the archive to check compatibility with newer devices -> that kind of job is to time consuming & would never be finished)
    3.) The number of users that still have this mainboard in active use, actually tried a RevoDrive and are therefore able to share their experiences is rather low.
    Basically, your only chance is that a user that fits into the category outlined under 3.) finds this thread by accident and is willing to provide feedback.  If that does not happen, you are basically on your own.  Test it and see for yourself.  That would be my advice. It should actually work.  The RevoDrive 2 is first and foremost a Silicon Image RAID Controller which dates back to 2005/06 and it is therefore rather old itself.

    No, the max resolution for video playback is generally 640x480, as stated in the specs

    The screen is actually half of that resolution, at 320x240.  HD at 720p is 1280x720.  HD at 1080p is 1920x1080

  • Does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print? I am running on Win 7 Pro 64 bit

    Can you please tell me: does the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 support e-print?  I cannot seem to find or generate or figure out how to create an e-mail address for this printer.  Thank you.

    Hello BoPeepLamb,
    The OfficeJet 8600 Printer does support ePrint. You can access the printers email address by enabling Web Services from the main display on the printer. The icon is located on the top left corner of the screen and looks like piece of paper with circles behind it. Before you can enable Web Services you must make sure you have a valid internet connection first.
    Once you have enabled Web Services, you should have a mobile printing sheet print with a printer code and link to http://www.eprintcenter.com where you can create an account and customize your printers email address.
    If you have any other questions feel free to reply to this post and I will try to find an answer for you.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
    Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

  • Does the GeoRaster method SDO_GEOR.exportTo support the Erdas IMG format?

    Hi Everyone,
    Does the GeoRaster method SDO_GEOR.exportTo support the Erdas IMG format, and SDO_GEOR.exportTo method can export what maximum amount of data?
    Best Regards,
    Lin

    Lin, thanks for your suggestion. the gdal-georaster integration is a great one for GIS and professional usages and can do what exportTo can not do even though it was just recently available. note though, all existing georaster functions, including exportTo, are internally built inside the database server from ground up. this enables users to fully leverage the power of enterprise database and grid computing.
    thanks

    As Tom said the FCS forum is the better place to post the question.
    Here is Apple's best practices doc for installing both on the same system.
    BTW, FCP7 is part of the FCS 3 suite of apps.

  • Does the UCS C-Series Servers supports PCI/e card digium T1/E1

    Hello,
    Does the UCS C-Series Servers supports/compatible with PCI/e card digium  TE407P/TE420 T1/E1.?
    The server will be used as Asterisk server.
    Thanks
    Philip

    Hi Philip,
    Compatibility will depend on the server model that you have and whether the digium card is a full length, low profile, or half length pcie card.  Take a look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10493/prod_models_comparison.html#~tab-a for details.  If there are any issues with the card itself once it is installed it will have to go through the 3rd party manufacturer.

  • Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

    Does the IE CS6 version have Support for the Middle Eastern tool set? - left to right typing etc.

    I assume IE means International English, as opposed to English North America (aka US English). There is Middle Eastern and Hebrew support via an English user interface for programs that support it such as InDesign.
    You can change the install language by launching the Adobe Application Manager and clicking on your name in the top left to bring up a context menu. From the menu select Preferences and then click the drop down for Languages. See the screen shot below:

    Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

    As mentioned by many, No ECC RAMs support.
    To me, I feel that current state of art DDR II RAMs are good enough to not produced much errors and HDDs have error buffer memory of up to 16MB, so ECC makes me feels that it is a "good to have but not a must" thing nowdays.

  • Does the 27" iMac wireless card support 802.11a and n

    does the iMac support the 5 GHz wifi format?  How about the N spec?

    I'm sorry but I don't understand this:
    the unit supports 802.11a channels but it doesn't pick up anything.
    Are you saying the iMac cannot connect wirelessly? And why would you be concerned that the very old 'a' standard may not be picked up? The latest standard is 802.11n, not a.

    So, is the iMac working wirelessly or not?
