Doubt about overclocking with p45 platinum

hi guys
i have a Q8200 processor and an MSI p45 platinum motherboard.
now the multiplier on the processor is 7
now using a a bus speed of 400mhz i was able to achieve a 400 * 7 = 2.8Ghz on my processor from 2.33
now when i use cpuZ it shows that im currently running at 1600fsb
now as per the board specs 1600 fsb is the maximum.
now does this mean that i wont be able to overclock further ?
i am currently using transcend 800 mhz DDR2 ram
i have the memory divider set at 1:1
so the rams are running at 800mhz
now if i try to further overclock the board, it results in a no boot. i get a single green light and rest 3 are red and the mother board restarts 3 times and then i get the overclock failed message could some 1 advise me on how to go further increase my overclock ?
i have tried to increase my processor voltage and my ram voltage by quite a bit (not over the safe limit though) but still not able to boot :(

now as per the board specs 1600 fsb is the maximum.
This just states that Processors that natively run @400 MHz FSB Clock Speed are supported. It has nothing to do with overclocking margins.
Try this for a quick test:
- turn off the system
- remove both OC Jumpers to force the FSB Clock Speed to 400 MHz
- Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
See if the system boots and runs stable. If it does, use the BIOS for further overclocking from the 400 MHz Strap. As you are forced to overclock your memory modules as well when you raise the FSB Clock Speed beyond 400 MHz try raising the memory voltage to 1.9-2V to see if that helps.
Spread Spectrum should be enabled at all times in the Cell Menu.

Inappropriate Temperatures with P45 Platinum

Greetings to Everyone.
Ok, i bought MSI P45 Platinum recently. and i must say, i am quite impressed with whats it delivering at the moment. I tried setting FSB to 380 with multiplier:9 and left all the rest settings on auto. Machine performed POST without any issues. However, idle temps were around 66 degrees, as processor has stock HSF! So, shifted back to 3.04Ghz (380x8) with 1:1 divider and with memory timings: 4-4-4-12.
Everything went fine. System passed IntelBurn Test, Prime95 and 3DMark06 stability and benchmark tests with flying colors. Super-Pi 1M was calculated at 15 secs. I say not bad for Q6600 @3.04Ghz!
However, during all these tests i constantly faced errorenous temperature display with utilities. I consistently monitored everything on CoreTemp, RealTemp, Intel TAT, HWMonitor, SpeedFan and as well as MSI Dual Core Centre! (lol had to be sure which one gave accurate, so tried everyone of em! :D) Now, here is the thing:
Except Dual Core Centre, everyone else showed temps @ idle around 60 degrees and @ load around 75 degrees! While dual Core showed idle @ 48 degrees and @ load around 56 degrees! Another thing, both CoreTemp and MSI utlity showed same readings with Core percentage usage.
See, everything seems so normal. I am using CoolerMaster Elite 333 cabinet with two 120mm fans at front and back. My GPU idles around 55 degrees and hard disk temperature never crosses 40 degrees! So, what is wrong with CPU temperature??
Please, i desperately need your advice on this.
Another thing, my friend is using P35 Platinum and everything same as mine. However, his machine never crosses 47 degrees at idle @ 3.0Ghz! Then why mine?
Thanks...

awesome!! Three senior members helping me. Plus, thanks for such a fast response.
Thank you henry, Jack and Frank..!
I followed your advice and reseated heat sink assembly after cleaning the CPU heat spreader and applying AS5.
In the beginning, something went wrong and realtemp showed all cores above 95 degrees!! For some time i took that as a joke. But, later i reseated HSF assembly again and this time everything went fine. I am right now @2.4Ghz and processor idles around 46 degrees. Pretty pleased with the results. Ran Intel Burn test for an hour and temps rarely crossed 75 degrees!! (And ohh btw, that Intel Lin Pack really shoot temps like anything! What a thing!) Ok, everything went fine.
However, there are few things i would like to clear..
1. That EVGA card blows too much of heat within the cabinet! Only raising the fan speed to 60% helps bringing down the overall system temps by 4-5 degrees!! I mean, i dont want to sound naive...but is it supposed to happen this much? And somehow if it does then what can i do? Comments please...
2. I think, Q6600 can be o/c'd pretty easily on this board. However, i have few doubts..
(a) Do i always have to stick with 9 multiplier?? I mean, i tried with 8, and everything went fine. But, if everything is good to go with 9 multiplier then there is options for lower figures? I mean are there any benefits with different figures?
(b)Spread spectrum should be left enabled while overclocking?
(c)And what about Green Power and EIST? EIST should be disabled while overclocking. But can we leave Greenpower on?
(d)I may have options to go for CoolerMaster CPU cooling setups. Why coolermaster only? Ok, thats because, in here, we dont have brands like Arctic, Thermaltake or Zalman in markets! :( I mean, they can be ordered through net, but i think its better to purchase from a retailer with all bills and stuff. Anyways, suggestions required for a descent CoolerMaster CPU cooler. That'd be good right?
(e)How much difference does third party cooler can make in comparison to a stock one?
Thank you again for ur replies.

Problem with P45 Platinum during POST

Good day!
I have MSI P45 Platinum mainboard and from to time to time it freezes during POST with AMI bios POST code - 423C. This happens right after the message that "4096MB OK" and before the detection of SATA/IDE drives. When this happens, the only way to make the system run is to turn off the power (pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del of Reset would result in the same error) - after that the POST procedure finishes correctly and I don't experience any problems afterwards (system is rock-solid after POST completion).
So my question is - can anyone explain me what does this post code mean (D-Leds are not much of a help)? Is this a mobo problem or may be there is some kind of incompatibility with my hardware. I should mention also that I've tried all versions of Bios both official and beta without any success.
This problem does not trouble me that much (doesn't happen often), but still I would like to understand what may cause it.
P.S. My system config - iC2D E8300/MSI P45 Platinum/4x1Gb DDR2-800 Geil Black Dragon (5-5-5-15)/MSI Radeon 4870 1Gb OC edition/HDD 250 Gb WD + 120Gb Seagate/SB Audigy 4/DVD-RW Asus 1814/PSU TT Toughpower 700w (w0105)
Thanx in advance and please excuse my poor English

Thank you for the reply!

What is your current BIOS Version?
I've recently flashed the latest beta bios version - 1,5 beta 6... but it produces the same error as did the latest official bios v1.4
Quote from: Jack the Newbie
Does the same problem occur with only one memory module installed?
I don't know actually. But thanks for pointing this out - I will test the system with one (and then with two) module(s). I've tested the modules with the memtest86+ software (the latest version, which supports P45 chipset) several times and it showed no errors. So the modules are OK and they worked without any problems with my previous mb (Gigabyte P35-DS3).

What do the POST-Status LEDs of the board tell you, when the system freezes at the described stage?
Well, I guess I don't fully understand what does the combination of LEDs tell during the freeze. I'll try to describe the combination -
LED12 - OFF LED13 - GREEN
LED8 - RED LED7 - OFF
LED14 - OFF LED10 - GREEN
LED15 - RED LED11 - OFF
In mobo's manual this diagnostic LEDs are grouped in 4 groups and the description of the group that most closely resembles my case is - "Testing base and Extended memory etc." But I'm not sure that I'm identifying the problem correctly, because of the LEDs that are OFF.
Quote from: Jack the Newbie
Are you experiencing any freeze and/or stability problems appart from the described problem?
No, as I said in my initial post, once it get past this stage everything is running smoothly - OS boots and all software, including the most demanding games or tests, are running OK.

Issues with P45 Platinum in Antec 900

Just got my Antec 900 today and put my motherboard inside. Everything was connected a-okay. I booted it up and immediately saw somethig smoking towards the bottom of the motherboard where the Reset and Power switch are. So I shut it down and tripple checked the wiring. Everything was still a-okay. Now when I try to boot it up, my motherboard won't post! I look at the LED lights and only group 2 shows up green, groups 1, 3 and 4 are all red.
"Memory Detection Test
Testing onboard emory size. The D-LE will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly."
Did I just fry my motherboard? The ony differences in wiring was the USB and all that stuff on the bottom of the board. And it's not like it didn't work, because I used that to boot up the computer the first time.
Anyone have any ideas?

Remove MB from case and ensure no MB mounting standoffs are in the wrong place (not aligned with MB mounting screw holes) or a stray screw in there causing a short. Also check for pinched wires and other such things. Any chance you can take any good close-up high rez photos of the area in question also before you take it apart?
Usually if you let the sealed in smoke out of any electronics you can expect to pay more money to get things right again.
At any rate you will need to take it apart and make a good visual examination to see exactly what may have fried.

P45 Platinum IEEE1394 drivers for Win7 x64

I just reinstalled my PC with P45 Platinum mainboard and everything installs fine with the drivers from the MSI website, however there is no driver for IEEE1394 controller there.
I installed Win7 x64 now, before I installed WinXP and at the time of that installation it installed fine.
I am not using the IEEE1394 controller at the moment but there is a exclamation point in the device manager I want to get rid of.
Can anyone point me to the driver, thnx.

In windows 7 there's no Firewire driver needed it should automatically install it as already integrated. Is it already installed and exclamation mark on it like it isn't working correctly or unknown device?

Overclocking Q6600 with MSI P45 Platinum

Hi again!
I need some advice regarding my OC settings.
Unfortunately, im an unlucky owner of the infamous Q6600 L8XX batch which has a high VID (1.3250v)
Anyway, I was able to reach 3GHz stable with these settings:

My goal is set at 3GHz and to get a lower cpu voltage (lower than my current 1.3175v), but anything below 1.3175v restarts when i stress test using OCCT. I've run memtest and it's ok. Can anybody advise which voltage I can configure to lower my cpu voltage? Also, is 333 x 9 to achieve 3GHz better? Or should I go with 375 x 8? Thanks! Btw, I plan to maintain these settings for the remainder of my CPU's life.. :D

thanks for the tip. i'm currently logging all my OC settings in an excel file. i just finished played an hour of COD4 without any restarts or instability. currently my settings are just the same except CPU voltage is at 1.344v and i reduced my Dram voltage to 2.0v. running memtest for over an hour, 2 passes already with no errors. i'll stress test it over the weekend.
i have a question though. a lot of people are suggesting a 1:1 FSB/DRAM ratio. but using 333x9 settings @ 1:1, you get 667.. i'm using 2x 2GB GeiL PC6400 800, that's why i used the 1:1.2 FSB/DRAM ratio to get 800. is it ok to keep using the 1:1.2 FSB/DRAM ratio even though people say 1:1 is the ideal ratio? many thanks for the reply

P45 Platinum Optimum memory settings with 2GB Corsair 1066 memory

Hi all,
Looking for some advice on optimum memory settings as I seem to have been getting unstable results from experimenting with settings and the optimum defaults.
My configuration is as follows:
MSI P45 Platinum (V1.0 PCB) (V1.4 Bios)
Intel Dual Core Duo E8500
Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5D DDR2-1066 5-5-5-15-2T configured for 2.2v in Bios
Palit 9800GT
2 x Maxtor 1TB HD's
1 x Floppy + Memory card readers
2 x Samsung DL-DVD-DW's
Silverpower SP-400P2C 400W PSU
With the default optimised settings loaded, the system does not book reliably or pass the memory test, in fact memtest86 just hangs when booted
With the Memory configuration set to 1:1.33 (1600:1066) the systems appears to pass the memory tests and windows is relatively stable. Voltage set to 2.2volt with Spead Spectrum disabled.
Is this really the optimum configuration ? as the Adjusted DRAM Frequency reported by the bios is 887 and I was expecting to see 1066.
Any suggestions as how to optimise reliably would be appreciated.
Although I suspect I may have a PSU issue as once booted the system locks when running any 3D games/demo's and it looks liek the 9800GT's need a lot more amps that I thought when putting the system together.
Rgds

First of all, your DDR2 modules are in fact DDR2-800 (they're using overclocked-overvolted DDR2-800 chips).
Sencondly you need to understand how a FSB/DRAM divider works.
Your processor is Intel E8500 and that means a bus frequency of 1333MHz (333MHz quad-pumped).
In your case 1:1.33 means 1.33 x 333 x 2 = 887 MHz for the DDR2 modules.
Set the divider to 1:1.6 if you want the DDR2 modules to run at 1066MHz.
And finally, the "optimum configuration" for max system stability means real DDR2-1066 (7-7-7-20 at 1.8V) or
DDR2-800 (5-5-5-15 at 1.8V).
cheers

The reason for the post here is because I can't seem to overclock my CPU with very much grace without running into BSOD's/Lockups/Reboots and whatnot...I'm even having some issues right now where I have to run the RAM at 1:1 or 1:1.2 (667Mhz or 800Mhz depending)
I guess the other issue I'm having is I have no idea what half of these settings are even referring to and I really hate to admit that...:(
Anyway I was hoping there was someone here with a similar setup that might be able to shed some light as to what I might be doing wrong...tried tweaking the dozen voltage options and whatnot without much success and very poorly describe items such as "Drive Setting 1/2/3/ETC...

What is your current BIOS Version?
Please post a list of the Cell Menu Settings that you have used to far when you attempted to overclock your system.
For a quick test:
-> remove the two OC Jumpers from there pin headers (this will force the FSB Clock Speed to 400 MHz), clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after that and see if the system will start-up properly.

P45 Platinum, some overclocking experience needed !

Hi,
I have bought a new computer last winter and been busy with it all the time.. when i bought it i had problems with MY CPU and memory but both fixed, CPU with BIOS 1.4 ( at that point the most recent BIOS ) and memory fixed with the help of some other guy with the same problem and the same hardware.
When all that was fixed and my PC runned stable i began overclocking the CPU by taking off the FSB jumpers so it wouldn't run on 333 MHZ but 400 MHZ FSB.
Now i wanna know if someone has experience with overclocking a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 on a P45 platinum, my CPU is now running on 3.4 GHZ ( stand 2.83 GHZ ) and I wanna know if a Vmod is nessecary need to get it to.. lets say 3.6 to 3.8 GHZ ?
I also want to know if someone has overclocked his Corsair Dominators above 1066 MHZ and how he did it, because nothing is working for me ( little changes direcly give BSODS etc. )
Thanks for everyones time,
Tim

Try your overclock first by setting your memory to 5.5.5.15 at 800MHz. This will eliminate or at least minimise any possible memory instabilities that are more than apparant in the forum when trying the 1066 overclock. If you are succesful, let me know, as I have the same set up, except that I have OZC Reapers. I must say that my 3,4 GHz (I have followed the same route as you via the jumpers) has not encountered a program or game yet that yielded unsatisfactory results. In actual fact my average frame rate in Far Cry 2 allgraphics maxed out runs between 70 and 80 fps. (MSI 9800GTX+). Unless you are running some scientific programs that need speeding up or you want to increase a theoretical benchmark, I wonder if the extra ,2 or,4 GHz will justify the potential temp increase or possible instabilities. But please advise once you have achieved that, what your system settings are what the percentage temp increase is on your CPU. I would be interested as I am too conservative at this stage to go beyond the 3,4.

P45 Platinum - Overclocking Core2 Duo & Ram

Hi all,
I recently got a P45 Platinum. Have had alot of bother with it todate. It started off when it recognised my memory at 800Mhz when infact it was 1066 DDR2 Dominator. Bios update version 1.1 looked like I could set it too 1066 on auto but it still recognised it as 800mhz. However Bios update 1.1 would not boot with my Nvidia GX2. Cured that got the beta 1.2b and all works well.
However I am running 3dMarks06 and the max I pushed out of my system was 15000 :-( . Was kind of hoping for bit more, still very laggy in crysis at times.
I am thinking about pushing a little more outta my CPU but if i fiddle with the CPU FSB currently default 333 it does not boot right and resets to be done. I have set the voltage to 1.3 and ram 2.0.
Any thoughts on this issue.

Your memory modules are recognized as DDR2-800 modules, because the SPD-Chips of these modules do not have an SPD-Profile for DDR2-1066 which the BIOS could detect to set memory clock speed to DDR2-1066. Your modules present themselves as DDR2-800 modules to the BIOS (because they are basically DDR2-800 modules). The BIOS can only read SPD profiles, not what Corsair has actually printed onto sticker that is on each module.

4gb DDR2 1066 (not sure if it infact does run at this)
If you check the official Corsair datasheet for your modules, you will see that it will say that these modules were tested @1066 MHz @2.1-2.2V, not that they are DDR2-1066 modules. At the bottom of the datesheet you will find a brief note telling you that the actual OC results "may vary". I am not sure which memory related settings you have tried so far. If you need advice and suggestions regarding memory settings, please let us know the precise model name/number of your modules and tell us which settings you have tried so far.

P45 Platinum - OCing with FSB jumpers

Hi,
I have already had problems with my memory and you guys helped me alot so i suggested to post my new problem here,,, maybe you guys know what to do.
I have a MSI P45 platinum with Intel Q9550 but when i check the ratings with CPU-Z it says my CPU is running at 2 GHZ and only using 6.0 x multiplier... were it should be 2.83 GHZ and 8.5 x multipliere ( Stock settings ).. how is this possible and how to fix this ? also in the BIOS it says its just running normal ( 2.83 GHZ at 8.5 x ) and so thoes windows XP and vista do ( they show 2.83 GHZ. ) but i think that is normal since vista and XP see a Q9550 and tell me it runs on 2.83 GHZ when its working properly.
it is running on 1333 MHZ ( well its 1336.4 to be exact) but i think it won't hurt if its running on it right ?
what settings should i change to let it run normal ? maybe the voltage for the CPU ?
Also i was checking my BIOS for this problem but i couldn't find he multiplier option where you can OC it... or do i need to enable something for it ?
Thanks for everyone's time and wisdom

Quote
so i guess its ok...
Definately!
Quote
Also where can i change the multiplier in BIOS for overclock ?
You need an Intel Extreme Edition Processor to be able to overclock the CPU by rasing the multiplier beyond standard. On all other model, all ratio higher than default are locked by Intel.
Quote
or should I raise the FSB bus speed a little higher.. what do you suggest ?
Raising the FSB Clock Speed is the only way to overclock the processor. You can try to remove the OC Jumpers of the board completely, which will force the FSB Frequency to 400 MHz via hardware. Do a CMOS Clear (with main A/C power cable removed from PSU) after removing the jumpers and see if the system will start up okay. Alternatively, you can simply raise the FSB Clock Speed in BIOS (but keep the FSB/DRAM Ratio in mind, when you do that, as the memory clock is tied to the FSB Clock via set ratios.)

A few questions about the p45 platinum...

I'm doing water cooling and would like to know in case of pump failure, is there a thermal shutdown built in to my p45 platinum board? I have a q6600. What temperature will it shutdown at? How do I enable?
I'm planning to upgrade to a radeon 6970. Are there any compatibility issues?
I was running cpuid hardware monitor and noticed that my 12V rail doesn't show 12 volts. It's shows 1.94V but my system is running fine..is this a glitch in reporting? I have a corsair 1000watt power supply and only using about 300watts.

Quote
I'm planning to upgrade to a radeon 6970. Are there any compatibility issues?
I am currently using an R6970 card in my P45 Platinum: no issues whatsoever with this combination.

It's shows 1.94V
That is an impossible reading. Your system would not even be on, if that value was the actual voltage level. As Henry said, don't worry about it. No software solution and not even the values you see in BIOS can replace a good volt/multimeter. There is a reason why a decent multimeter is usually more expensive than most high-end motherboards:

P45 Platinum - overclocking 4870 X2

Ok so iam back again with another problem, it seems that overclocking a 4870 X2 is very hard ATM, Everything i tried to OC my 4870 X2 won't work, i tried almost anything ( ATI Overdrive, Rivatuner, ATI Tool Etc. ) but it won't work properly ( Many Artifacts ) and it won't run stable, the Temps stay good since iam using my GPU Fan for atleast 40%.
Any Ideas for this ?
Thanks for your time and wisdom

Zealous 650 watt modulair
Recom Powerstation case
Ok.. the core clock is 750 MHZ and the memory @ 900 MHz.. i don't think its a power problem, more of a heat and Volt problem.. i tried some stuff already, making my fan run faster will give me less artifacts for some reason when its OCed a bit..
The temps are good.. IDLE its 40 -50 degrees and under load its around 80 - 100 degrees depending on what game iam playing ( Crysis for instance is around 100 degrees. )
Under 3Dmark06 around 85 degrees.. maybe Vantage will pull it up to 100 degrees, still need to test that today.
I am using the latest 8.12 drivers + catalyst center, so that should not be the problem i guess ?
ow.. and BTW my score in 3Dmark06 is just over 16000, maybe its some usefull info.

Problem with MSI P45 Platinum DDR2 mainboard and Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D Ram

Hi, I have encountered with a problem.
First I had
MSI p45 platinum ddr2 bios ver. 1,4
Intel E8400
Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D 2x1Gb
2 Asus ATI EAH 3870 Crossfire
and it was running with windows XP without any problems.
Problems began when I decided to upgrade to 6Gb of ram and to install Vista 64. Ram modules witch I bought are the same Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D, but 2x2GB.
When i put them together adjust voltage 2.1v and timing 5-5-5-15 they fail mem test with huge amount of errors.
when I test only 2x2gb modules memtest sometimes doesn't open at all, sometimes just stops working on 8 minutes of test. couple of times they completed memtest without any errors.
Can someone advice what should I do and what could the problem?
Thank you for your answers.

1) the modules are not the same (the DDR2 chips are different)
2) as general rule, mixing 2x1GB with 2x2GB is a bad idea.

Your code implements some business transaction, right? So if you commit before whole trancaction (from business standpoint) is complete other sessions will already see changes that are (from business standpoint) incomplete. Also, what if rest of trancaction (from business standpoint) fails?
