Doubt with JPW1 (+12v 4pin) Connector on MSI p6n sli

Hi, i've one question, i've this psu:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339001&Tpk=hec%2borion
It's Type ATX12V 2.01, so it's have the Main Connector 20+4Pin and only one conccetor of +12v of 4 pin.
And this motherboard need 2 +12v 4 pin connectors. On the manual, that connectors are calledd JPW1.
Know, my question is, Did the motherboard will run with only one 4pin connector?
I've this components:
MSI 7900GS 450-1320 @ 700-1680
E2140 @ 3GHZ (I want more than that, 3.2ghz at least )
2x1gb OCZ @ 900 4-3-3-8-2t
1x 160gb Sata2
1x DVDrw
And probabaly on 4-6 months one dualcore or maybe quad 45nm processor.
With the actual configurartion, could i'make high Overclock on the proccesor without any problems ?
Thanks
And here a picture, how you can see, only one 4pin connector, not two:

The reason to use 8-Pins instead of 4 is not to provide more power to the CPU, but to double the current carrying capacity of the the connection.  This reduces heat generation as the same current will be carried by twice the number of pins.  The effect is that the risk of overheating/melting of the connector is reduced. Basically, it is a safety measure.
The bottom line is, that the chance that your connector will melt is not very significant (even with a Quad Core processor). Unless you plan to overclock the hell out of that CPU in a poorly cooled case, you shouldn't have to worry about four more pins.
REALLY THANKS!!! and thanks for answer so fast 
Now, i dont have any doubt with the motherboard and the psu. Now i cant overclock without fear.
I've a TT bigtyp lapped, more AS Ceramique, and the case its good cooled, so it wont be a problem.
REALLY THANKS JACK

  • MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz

    Hello.
    I have problem with ram frequency.
    I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5  but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?

    Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
    XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.

  • Bios problem on MSI p6n sli-fi

    Hi, on december i've the bios beta 2.13 on the msi p6n sli-fi and an e4300.
    I changed to an e2140, and started the problems:
    If i plug a ps2 mouse, then starts the beeps, here a record of then, i look for beep code, and dont find this combination on beeps:
    If i dont use the ps2 mouse, the board start fine and goes ok.
    Another problem was that the back USB, dont work, they detect perfect on the Admin Device, but if i plug something nothing happens :(, sometimes take the usb keyboard when boot, so i flashed the bios thinking could be any proccesor bios incompatibily, but after that, windows or while booting, dont detect the usb keyboard, or wharever i plug.
    Yesterday, i've a surprise i attach an old USB gamepad, after a while, i taked good the gamepad (propably usb 1.1 gamepad, its a cheapper one). So after this which is the problem? Because of another gamepads, keyboard, usb flash drives and another things i plugged on the back, nothing work except for that old gamepad.
    THE front usb works perfectly fine, without problems.
    So what could be the problem? I think to go back to bios 2.13 beta bios, but i dont have back up :(
    Please some help, i'm lost with this problem

    Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after that.  See if that changes anything.
    If it doesn't, unplug the USB Front Panel Connector from the board's USB Pin Header. After disconnecting, check your back panel ports again.

  • Who has this setup - MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400

    This message is intended for anyone who has the MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400 in a working state.
    I've had the pleasure of perusing these forums for a while in hopes of finding an answer as to why my E8400 isn't working with my P6N SLI Platinum. I've updated my BIOS, I've RMA'd my chip, I've even contacted MSI support (with no reply I might add). I have been so careful when handling these components and thoroughly reading the instructions, to no avail. I've got the board and all components working with a different processor. I've tried the voltage modifications that many have said work, I've tried different memory, I even tried a different video card. So I'm stuck in the same boat as many it seems, however there are one or two posts on this forum and others where people have said they actually got it to work!
    So now I really hope I can get this question answered - What is a working config? One of the things I haven't tried yet is a new power supply. My current PS is 650w, but has the 4 pin CPU power connector. From the posts I've read, it shouldn't matter if I have the 4 or the 8. But in reality, does this CPU work on the P6N Plat with an 8 pin connector? I'd be willing to go buy a new PS if thats the case! What else could possibly be the issue? Any and all feedback is appreciated. i really didn't want to start up another thread for this proc/board issue, but perhaps someone else has joined this board by now that may provide the little piece of info that I've been missing.
    Cheers,
    Aaron

    according to the website, the 1.6 BIOS had cpu updates in march so I's assume it would have support for the E8400.
    What exactly happens when you turn on the system with the E8400?

  • MSI P6N SLi-FI - Nothing happens!

    I recently just purchased a whole new system from newegg.  I purchased the following components:
    Motherboard:  MSI P6N SLI-FI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130082

    And lastly, I threw it all in a case:  COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel, SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811119068
    Now, I hooked everything up, turned the power supply power on, and a beautiful LED light on the motherboard started to shine proudly.  Basking in the glow of my orange LED, I confidently pushed the power button on the case, to find... nothing.  No fans started, no whirring of the HD, just silence.  I double and triple checked the cord going from the motherboard to the power switch, turned it around, begged it, but can't get any response from the motherboard.  I was looking into if my power supply was compatable with my motherboard, and it seems like it should be.  Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can check?

    Quote from: tnt1 on 22-March-07, 10:34:43
    Two different specs. The motherboard is designed to handle either the 8 pin or 4 pin cpu connector. Did you hook up the 4 pin? Did you use the 20+4 for the main ATX? Is the power supply set to 115v? (may say 110v or 120v)
    Also are you certain you have connected the power switch correctly to the motherboard. (You can try jumping the pins with a screwdriver). Recheck the manual and make sure you are using the correct pins. Also disconnect the reset switch just to make sure it is not stuck in a reset state.
    Try with motherboard out of the case. (It may be grounded)
    Try with minimal components.
    Reseat the CPU.
    Well, I tried all of these.  I re-seated the processor, which looked fine originally, stripped out everything except the processor, RAM, and video card, re-connected all of the power cords, took the motherboard out of the case, and jumped the pins with a trusty pair of scissors.
    Success!  It booted right up, the fans started, and there was a large sigh of relief.
    I have no idea what it was wrong, but it seems ok now.  Of course, I haven't even connected a monitor or anything, so there's a long way to go, but this was a rather important first step, don't you think?
    Thanks guys

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum OEM Modification Question

    The MSI P6N SLI Platinum OEM edition motherboard comes with all the circuit layout needed to support 2 SLI x16 Style connectors for SLI'd video cards. However the OEM only comes with one installed and an empty slot for the other. What resistors and the like would I need to add to the board in order to add the pcie x16 connector to the empty area on the board? I've already found a source for the actual slot, and I know I am going to need to add a resistor of some type to the empty resistor slot directly above where the PCIe slot will go. Beyond that I don't know what else I need to do, or what type of resistor is needed.
    Oh yeah, and where can I go to buy the optional accessories for this board that came with the retail version? I would have prefered the retail version but the board I have came as part of a kit.

    Hello Tornath,
    you have already mentioned yourself, that you have an OEM-Board, not an MSI-Retail Board. MSI does not provide end-user support for OEM products, as this is the responsability of the OEM Vendor who is selling OEM Boards under a different name.  Also, this forum will not support OEM Products and that is why I will have to close this thread. 
    However, before you waste huge amounts of your lifetime with trying to add a second PCI-Express Slot to your OEM-Board, let me explain to you, why your plan is rather pointless:
    1) The only OEM-Board of this class I know of, has the model number MS-7350VP.  If there ever was a marketing name, it would be called P6N Platinum (not P6N SLI Platinum), and there is one simple reason for that:
    2) This particular OEM Board has an NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra Chipset (as opposed to the NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI), and if you look at the specifications for NVIDIA Chipset on the official NVIDIA Chipset Specification Site, you will see that this Chipset does not support the NVIDIA SLI™ Technology: http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce_600i_tech_specs.html   .... That is basically why there is no additional PCI-Express Slot in the first place.   So even if you should succeed in adding a secondary PCI-Express Slot to the board physically, the chipset will render it more a less useless in terms of running two video cards in SLI mode.

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum + E6850 + 533Mhz (PC-4200) RAM?

    Hi,
    I got hold of an E6850 (1333 MHz FSB) CPU for upgrade and I would like to know if it can run with 2Gb hynix RAM (533MHz PC-4200) on my MSI P6N SLI platinum (Rev 1.0). If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to using 667MHz or 800MHz RAM?
    Thanks.

    I am not sure if the Nforce Chipset/Memory Controller is able to support a memory bus speed that is lower than FSB Clock Speed. Intel Chipset usually can't do that (1:1 usually being the minimum ratio supported).  However, on your board, the memory speed is not directly tied to the FSB Clock Speed and can be adjusted independently, so the situation may be different.  The bottom line is:  I can't tell you for sure if it will work or not and therefore suggest to simply test it and see what happens.
    Quote
    If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to buying PC-6400 800MHz RAM?
    With the memory bus running slower than the Front Side Bus, there will be definately be a performance difference that is not insignificant.

  • Update on Pentium D 930 + MSI P6N SLi Mobo

    A short time ago I was searching this forum for information concerning the compatibility of the Pentium D 930 processor with the MSI P6N Sli Mobo. It seems that this processor was not officially supported for this board. A few helpful people offered the opinion that they would likely work just fine together. I just wanted to get back to you guys and say thank you again, that turned out to be exactly the case.  :D
    After an embarrassing no-post situation caused by the leftover mounting  spacers from my old board (which used 12) to my present board (which uses 9), everything went smoothly. Acronis with Universal restore allowed me to regenerate my operating system. After a lengthy update of drivers the computer was up and running smoothly and with a entirely welcome but somewhat puzzling difference. Whereas the old board (D945PVS) consistently provided an environment in which the CPU ran at 50°+ C (?!) and had transient temperatures as high as 58 - 59° C with an ambient 20° C, the new set up consistently ran below 40°. These results were consistent no matter what type of thermal pastes were used, be they my homebrewed colloidal silver in silicone stopco*k  grease or Arctic Silver.  (that's hilarious... the anti-obscenity software interpreted a fully normal English language word as obscenity)
    Well, whatever the reason....sweet.
    I have only attempted simpleminded overclocking as the options are somewhat limited by the processor. With the frequency for the GPU locked at 100 MHz, simply adjusting the FSB to 1000 raised the apparent speed of the CPU to 3.75 GHz, up from the stock frequency of 3 GHz. An attempt to set the front side bus at 1060 resulted in a non-bootable system so back to 1000 it went.
    I have not adjusted any of the system voltages. So far I have not stress tested this other than to simply use the computer for several hours. No apparent problems yet. The system temperatures have remained between 38 and 40° C in an ambient 20°C environment.
    The only thing that nags at me, and I'm fairly sure that this is of no importance is the fact that in device manager the CPUs show yellow exclamation marks and in properties I see a message saying that certain drivers failed to load for the CPU and that other software may be taking their place. Well, whatever this actually means, it has had no detectable impact on system performance or reliability.

    Hiya flobelix
    If by manually updating the drivers you mean by left clicking on them in device manager and selecting update --> search online, then yes, I did. I do not have the exact verbiage but the resultant error message was something to the effect that the drivers had installed but failed to start and something else may be taking their place.
    Driver magician fails to detect that any cpu drivers are missing. Same with online testing services such as PC pitstop. | have done a cursory search using Google to find people with similar problems but I have not as of yet seen this EXACT problem.

  • MSI P6N SLI-F Northbridge Heatsink dimensions?

    I'm looking around for a nice quiet CPU heatsink/fan that will fit on the MSI P6N SLI-F motherboard.
    there's been a couple that I've had to rule out because the Northbridge heatsink is too close to the CPU socket -- but can anyone tell me how tall the stock heatsink on the northbridge is, on this particular motherboard?
    It's kind of hard to tell the scale on most of the motherboard pictures that are floating around. If anyone can tell me how many mm this heatsink rises above the motherboard, I'd much appreciate it!
    (Suggestions for a quiet CPU fan to be used with a Core 2 Duo E6600 that will fit this motherboard are also very welcome. I'm not intending to overclock -- low noise is more important to me than arctic temperatures)

    Quote from: somebob on 06-March-07, 14:28:59
    Hm... Are you sure those actually fit on the (non-platinum) P6N?
    Looking at pictures of the motherboard, a 92mm vertical fan looks like it might run into the northbridge heatsink... Can anyone else confirm that the collermaster (RR-PCH-S9U1-GP) fits this motherboard?
    Yes, it does... images of it installed in the thread linked above.

Maybe you are looking for
