E6750 and P965 Platinum issues (Resolved using bios 1.6)

Hi guys & girls,
Here is system:
Intel Duo 2 Core E6750 (2.66Hhz) with Thermalright Si-128 and Arctic Cooling 120mm (Zalman STG1 paste)
MSI P965 Platinum mainboard (Worked fine with E6600 and OC'd to 3.4 stable)
2Gb Corsair ddr2 800 (4 x 512Mb matched pair kits 5-5-5-15 nice relaxed timings)
PNY 7800GT 256mb Pci-Express card (Standard)
Corsair VX 550 +12V = 41A / +3.3V = 30A / +5V = 20A
Have tried 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 bios
Tried Enermax 465 20 pin and Hiper 550W both have more than enough amps.
Plus all the usual basics.......memtest etc etc.........
Problems:
E6750 only seen as 6x333 =2Ghz   
Memory only seen in slot 1 and 2....... 3 & 4 disappeared.......
Any ideas.............. I am going mad here....... 
It's up and running, so no worries on speed of reply....... ROFL
Look forward to replies.......

If enabling EIST would cause OC unstable, that means this OC setting is unstable after all. What EIST does is to reduce the multiplier back to 6x during idle, it also set the CPU Core Voltage LOWER.
I don't have this P965 Platinum board to test out, the temperature thing definitely can be fixed, by next BIOS release hopefully. Del UK, did E6600 temp. report correctly?
Hi Maesus,
Yes, temps reported ok with E6600 and speedstep could enabled and disabled.  Could see difference from standard to OCing at 3.4Ghz.
Had similar issues with Prescott on the PT880 Version 1 when that came out and was solved with a few bios updates.....
I did go and check the Intel spex for P965 chipset and that states max FSB of 1066.  In theory the P965, do not support the 1333 FSB.
I have emailed support and know could be a few days for reply....... not long 
Other replies, thanks it all helps and I do try them out.

  • SPEEDFAN and P965 Platinum

    Hello
    HAs anyone managed to control their fans using speedfan and an MSI P965 platinum .. with the latest speedfan beta I have managed to obtain the right temperature readings (on core duo) but no fans show up in speedfan to control etc...
    Would appreciate your info if you have it working
    Regards

    Thanks for your reply - thing is im quite ok with fan speed - i have been running for over 4 years on various motherboards with no problem but with this one I simply have no access to the fans at all -- under the speeds and fans Tabs in Speedfan there is nothing listed - so I can't change anything
    Maybe there is a bios setting or something that I am missing ?
    Would really appreciate some insight
    Hmmm... only thing that even resebles it is that i have auto oc disabled, and temp target at 50C. Fan failure warning disabled.
    I think I had ability to control fanspeed with original bios 1.5, but i had to upgrade it to 1.6B9 and now later to 1.6B13 as im having huge problems with my scsi controllers. Some are unbootable, some have strange performance issues, some work.
    I would not recommend using betabios, I think I read somewhere that it voids warranty or something.
    Oh and, im not using platinum, but neo version of the mobo.
    Try checking if you rly have latest version, ill check mine when i get home.

  • Poor Overclock With E4300 And P965 Platinum

    I have recently built a Core 2 Duo system based around the P965 Platinum motherboard which I bought based on the excellent reviews it appears to have received.
    My system is as follows:
    Core 2 Duo E4300 with standard cooler
    MSI P965 Platinum
    ATI X1900GT
    1GB Kingston DDR2 667 Valueram
    2xWD 160GB Hard Disks in RAID 0
    Antec Sonata II case with Smartpower 450W PSU.
    I initially tried overclocking to 266FSB which worked flawlessly. All I did was slow the memory slightly so it wasnt overclocked. It worked beautifully, including Speedstep functionality and in SiSoft Sandra beat the E6600 comfortably which runs at a similar speed.
    As soon as I try to go above this speed the system wont boot and all the fans run at their maximum. It doesnt even POST.
    I have tried disabling speedstep etc, and increased voltages slightly. I also slowed the memory further so it is running at 1:1 ratio (532MHz at 266FSB), but I still cannot get past 266FSB.
    Any suggestions?
    I also note that the board does the strange start-stop thing from cold, and if it has been left off for a long time the screen is scrambled when I start it. Any suggestions on these?
    Cheers,
    James

    You're not alone..
    My fighting with this motherboard began the first moment I put my brand new E4300.
    This is the absoluto WORST motherboard in the Galaxy for the E4300, and the reasons, I should explain shortly (I hope someone at MSI is reading this and DO SOMETHING about it)
    The short version:
    There are 3 straps for configuring the speed of each processor on the Intel family.
    the 800 strap, the 1066 strap and the 1333 strap,  these are the straps working on the 4000 and 6000 family of core2
    When you're in the 1066 strap, the motherboard configures the PCI lock correctly and you can safely clock the board from 266 to even 370 or 450 in some cases with the latest BIOS and good MCP voltage... but.
    When you're in the 800 strap like me (all E4300 are in the 800 strap)  the motherboard incorrectly identify the information and it simply DOES NOT LOCK the PCI bus speed correctly...
    Conclusion:  when you excede 266 Mhz speed you already have the PCI clocked so far away from the standard speed, that really is a divine grace that the motherboard boots.. and if it does.. you will have a corrupted HD or you may even lost some PCI card to this.. so... it is really DANGEROUS to set any speed higher than 240-250 for this strap on this motherboard.
    Sure, there are alternatives you may ask... yes,  all gigabyte motherboards and the P5B series correcly identify the 800 strap (200fsb) and Lock the PCI so you can overclock to hell with that one... not on this motherboard.
    There IS an alternative... the alternative is to PIN MOD the processor (remember the Conductive Pen?) to FORCE the motherboard into believeing that you have in effect, a 266 (1066Mhz) processor and then, configuring the strap accordingly..
    well... no.
    It works on the 99% of the motherboards I tried (yes, I did that mod succesfully and unlocked the 1066 strap, booting with 266 bus on a P5B, a 680i SLI and even a 570 SLI motherboard,  with a MINIM clock of 3.2Ghz, what do you think?)
    BUT
    and is a very great BUT,  NOT with this motherboard.
    For some brilliant idea of the MSI engineers, the motherboard start up at 266Mhz and then it clearly tells you that this is in fact a 200Mhz processor,  then, a BIOS halt ocurred and you have a corrupted CMOS setup,  the only way to stop from losing the motherboard is to install another processor and re-flash it...
    so even forcing a 1066Mhz strap is a NO GO with this motherboard that REFUSES to take information from the SAME PINOUT the rest of the motherboard makers follow to regulation and in fact WORKS and reads the information from the clock the processor gives, so.. we are stuck with a NO GO situation.
    The latest bios i tried is the 3.6 bios (BETA) and this problem persist.
    So,  with the P965 the long story became short at the end,  we are stuck in the WORST of the Galaxy motherboard for E4300 overclocking till MSI at least give us the freedom to choose the strap or just use the one that is detected. Until then...  that's it.
    I hope this message reaches MSI,  I work for a hardware page that do reviews and you can imagine what I should say about this motherboard....
    Daniel / MaximoPC
    www.maximopc.org
    Thanks, that does make sense based on what I am seeing.
    Is there a way of confirming the PCI bus speed is increasing with clock speed?
    This seems like it should be simple for MSI to sort?

  • Average OC with E6600-E6700 and P965 Platinum ? Post here plz

    Hi.
    Would love to hear what average OC with E6600 & E6700 is on P965 Platinum board is.
    If other people would post your OC score and settings duo to the list under here. It would be very helpfull.
    BIOS version
    FSB
    CPU VCore
    Ram timming (Auto or mauel)
    Ram frequency (Auto or Manuel) in Cell menu
    Ram Voltage
    NB Voltage
    any other known settings to help OC more
    Thx for your help

    Try to stress your RAM with MemTest lychgate, then I'm sure you will find that it is not stable.
    Anything over about 330MHz FSB gives me RAM error in MemTest, even with 5-5-5-15 and 1:1 divider on PC2-6400 with 4-4-4-12 as standard timings.
    Trust me, it just seems stable...
    You mean with the 1.5b3 bios? Well, I use orthos and superpi to test stability, and they don't give me any errors, even with 450FSB (wich I'm currently using) . Which number of memtest is giving you errors?
    I think that I'll test it with memtest now, to be sure.

  • Q9550 cpu and p965 platinum problem

    I have P965 platinum m/b with 1.8 bios. The old CPU is E6400. I just tried to instal Q9550. PC starts but stack at MSI logo. Any ideas?
    EDIT: 1+3 led are  red

    Hello,
    which Revision of the Q9550 are you using?
    The CPU Support List only includes the Q9550/C1 [sSpec number = SLAWQ].  If you have the Q9550/E0 you have a CPU Support problem.  That processor is not included in the CPU Support list.  It requires a MicroCode-Update and currently the latest BIOS for your Board is v1.80 which does not include such an update. 

  • FYI: date.timezine and mysql.sock issues resolved!

    For anyone who might run into the same issues with your website(s) like I did. Here are a couple things you may want to look into if you are having these issues.
    The cause of these issues is due to snow leopard server using PHP 5.3.
    *_ISSUE #1_*: PHP throwing the following errors:
    +Warning: strtotime() [function.strtotime]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are required to use the date.timezone setting or the datedefault_timezoneset() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

    *_FIX FOR ISSUE #2:_* Set "mysql.default_socket" value in your /etc/php.ini to "mysql.default_socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock". Then restart web service in server admin

    Didn't resolve it for me using 10.6.1 server. I tried adding each of the following in php.ini (not all at the same time, one by one...). Restarted web service after each change (even though you don't really need to).
    [Date]

  • LR 4/4.1RC and flickr uploading issues - resolved?

    Have the uploading issues between LR 4/4.1RC and flickr been resolved?  Waiting on upgrading from LR3, but the forum reports from unhappy flickr users wanting to "downgrade' are making me nervous.  Should I wait, just upgrade to 4.0 and leave the RC alone for now?  

    An update ...
    I have discovered that RC2 publishing does seem to be working (for me) but Flickr or LR seems to be objecting ("Invalid at the top level of the document") to specific images possibly relating to the contents of the caption field.
    I narrowed down the failure to just one image ... removed its caption... it published, I put the caption back on - "Invalid ..." error came back.
    FYI and not sure if relevant - I sometimes put http links in my caption fields.
    I would have come back with a more comprehensive test, but it now appears that LR will not communicate with Flickr at all, now saying it cannot contact the Flickr service, so I cannot investigate further yet.
    I know a little off the wall here ... but is it conceivable that Flickr itself has locked me out due to "erroneous" or suspicious content?     I have never had problems with LR talking to Flickr before today and publishing to SmugMug is still working fine.  

  • Adobe Captivate 5.5 and Neo Speech: issue to use Paul voice

    Hello,
    I have installed succesfully Adobe Captivate 5.5 and then Neo speech Add-on. But unfortunately, when using Speech management function, I can't find Paul and Kate voice. These voices are not proposed in the voice list while the installation has suceeded.
    A Kate and Paul directories have been install under Adobe Captivate 5.5 but I don't know why these voices seems to be not installed.
    My PC uses Windows XP, default language = french. Adobe Captivate has been installed in English.
    Thanks for your support,
    Odile

    Hi,
    First I have installed Adobe Captivate 5.5.
    Then I have installed Neo spech.
    I have restarted my PC, then launch Captivate: Paul and Kate voices are not present in Speech Manager. And I have no special error message, only voices missing.
    After that I have installed Loquendo speechs.
    Launch again Captivate and see that Loquendo voices are pesent in Speech Manager.
    Now I will show you Neo Speech install report, installation done after an Captivate application stop:
    The installation has succeeded in the good directory.
    When installing Loquendo the report is not really the same, it seems that some additional execution are done:
    Following other discussions on the forum, I have looked at my Windows Control Panel Voice and see that 3 voices are proposed. I assume that these are Windows voice. I didn't find Stefan, Simon, Kate or Paul voices and I'm not ablle to add or configure something.
    If someone has an idea of the issue

  • GFX card has died, what new cards will my P965 Platinum support?

    Good morning all. As the topic says, my gfx card has died. It was a Gainward 8800GTS 320mg, and fell foul of the apparently common solder issue. It's way out of warranty now, so i need a new card. I can't afford a full upgrade, so i need to find a card that will run on my P965 Platinum. The 3 cards that i'm considering are the nVidia 550Ti, the ATI 6790, and most of all the ATI 6850. Will they all work, but primarily will the 6850 work on the P965, or will I have issues due to it being an ATI card?
    My hardware specs are:
    P965 Platinum, running the stock BIOS (i assume, i have never flashed it).
    Intel E6600 dual core, running at stock speed.
    4 sticks of Corsair xms2 "cm3x1024-6400c4" 4-4-4-12 800mhz DDR2 ram, at stock settings.
    Corsair HX620W PSU. I can't check exactly what it's running at as the gpu is dead, but the manual says:
    +3.3V 24A 170W
    +5V 30A 170W
    +12V1 18A 600W
    +12V2 18A 600W
    +12V3 18A 600W
    -12V 0.8A 9.6W
    +5VSB 3A 15W
    WD Raptor system drive.
    As a secondary question, what E and Q chips can the Platinum take, preferably without a BIOS update? The main MSI website no longer has the 965 specs available and my manual is nowhere to be found.
    Thank you very much for any help that you can provide.
    edit: sorry, forgot to mention that i'm running XP SP2 (32bit i think), and have no intention of ever having 2 gfx cards so crossfire/SLI isn't an issue for me. Upgrading to 64bit win7 is no trouble if that's necessary/advised.

  • P965 Platinum - memory troubles

    I completed the following system over the weekend:
    P965 Platinum w/ 1.2 BIOS
    Core 2 Duo E6400
    Corsair Twin 2GB 800MHz 4-4-4-12
    Rosewill 550w PSU
    eVGA 7600GT
    I checked the BIOS and verified that the memory is recognized as 800MHz.  However, it is currently running at 5-5-5-18 timings at 1.9v.  I am able to change the timings to 4-4-4-12, but then the system does not boot (stuck on extended memory test).
    I checked with Corsair, and their documentation states that the 4-4-4-12 timings are achieved at 2.1v.  Unfortunately, the BIOS will not allow me to change the memory voltage.  The number is grayed out.
    How can I fix this?  I installed Duo Core Center to try to adjust it from there, but it will not run...I get the "This application has caused an error and must be closed..." message when I try to start it.  I reinstalled it with the same problem both times.

    First of all, Run a memtest86 session for each memory stick seperately , one of the sticks may be broken ... you never know...
    Quote from: EricT on 20-December-06, 11:08:30
    OK, I adjusted the voltage to 2.1v.  Then I disabled SPD and set the timings to 4-4-4-12.  I rebooted, and it crashed while loading windows.
    Try a little more voltage if the bios allows you to, 2.2 or 2.3Volt - It IS a budget motherboard, and budget boards tend to give less real voltage then what you selected.
    Quote from: EricT on 20-December-06, 11:08:30
    I went back to the BIOS and enabled SPD, leaving the voltage at 2.1V, and CPU-Z is showing the timings as 5-5-5-18 like before.  Frequency 400MHz, 2:3 ratio.  It is also reporting Channels # Single.  This should be dual-channel memory right?
    The SPD tab in CPU-Z tells me that each module has 400 MHz frequency with timings 4-4-4-12.  Now I'm confused.
    Might have something to do with having both sticks in single channel - Since there are 2 memory sticks in one channel it might automatically loosen timings for that channel...
    Quote from: EricT on 20-December-06, 11:08:30
    Another thing, if I put modules in slots 1 and 3, the system hangs at memory initialization.  I can only get it to run if I use slots 1 and 2.  I believe this is why I'm in single channel mode?
    Yes...
    Quote from: EricT on 20-December-06, 11:08:30
    Can someone help me get this memory running optimally?  I spent the extra money to get CAS 4 memory, but apparently I am not getting that performance.
    Core 2 Does not really benefit all that much from tight timings, you are confusing with athlon64 wich like tight timings ...
    http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=472 This article shows that core2 does not really benefit a lot from expensive high end memory.

  • P965 Platinum, need to clear cmos to boot (every time)

    Hi
    First off, the hardware:
    MSI P965 Platinum (MS-7236) Latest BIOS (1.3)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro
    Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 2048MB CL4
    Asus GeForce 7950GT
    Creative SB X-Fi XtremeGamer
    Antec Performance One P150 Miditower (430W PSU)
    The system has bin working good for the last two weeks, then two days ago the system wouldnt boot. It starts for 1 second or less (lights and fans started) and then it dies. I made no changes (hardware/software) to the system before it happend.
    So I made a few searches in this forum and found someone with the same problem (not the same motherboard), someone suggested to clear the cmos, which worked, it now boots and works fine.
    The problem is that I need to do that every time I want to boot the computer! Really annoying... An upgrade of the BIOS did not help.
    Any ideas?

    Setting your CAS Latency to 4 actually makes it run at CAS Latency 3, an issue caused by the current BIOS versions. Try running your memory at CAS Latency 5-5-5-15 and 800 MHz for a while, see how it works out. You might want to run Orthos, Prime95 or Memtest to test for stability.
    At what time during boot does your system hang? Any info on the D bracket?
    Pressing Reset button 4 times with about 10 second intervals (if system hangs during POST) should set FSB and memory back to defaults, a little trick feature of this board that may come in handy...

  • Will C2Q Q8200S run with P965 Platinum

    Hello,
    Following the CPU compatibility list, the motherboard P965 Platinum (#7238, Bios 1.8) supports a Core 2 Quad Q8200 (95 watt TDP).
    I have got here a Q8200S (65 watt TDP). Does the board support this CPU as well? 
    Thank you
    ildonaldo

    That CPU is not on the CPU-Support list for the P965 Platinum Mainboard.  Using the latest BETA BIOS Release may perhaps allow you to use that processor.  I do not know of any users that actually tested this.  In any case, I would highly recommend you use this processor with a newer board (e.g. P35 or P45 based).

    6. Power Supply Type: Chieftec 550W
    7. Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, Ver. 2002
    My main problem is permanent losing of power from mainboard when I shutdown my PC.
    I noticed that devices such as Scanner and CardReader turn off, everytime when I shutdown PC, instead of staying in Stand By.
    I think that it is not OK and that MSI P965 Platinum mainboard doesn’t work properly?! Also, I can't power on the system with keyboard or mouse, 
    even these options exist.
    Thank you in advance for your consideration!

    elgasoni,
    please allow me to tell you what I know about PC and this power management thingy
    1. no WOL (wake on LAN), no Wake on USB, no Wake on PS2
    --> there should be no LED blink on your system while it is OFF, but your power supply still supplying 5V_stby to your board.
    2. with WOL, no Wake on USB/PS2
    --> no LED blink on your keyboard/mouse too, but your LAN port may still blink if you hooked your LAN cable up to a powered router. Again, your PSU is only supplying 5V_stby to your board and the LAN is consuming it.
    3. with WOL, with Wake on USB/PS2
    --> there may be LED on your keyboard/mouse, depending on your keyboard/mouse design. Your LAN port surely blink as condition stated in (2). Same thing, PSU only supplying 5V_stby.
    4. The "S3" suspend mode.
    --> This mode has to be exit from Windows by selecting "standby" and your BIOS must enable it to suspend to S3. The LED will behave the same as in (3), in addition that your RAM is still powered, refreshed to keep its content. If you remove your RAM stick, your system will not be wake up anymore.
    --> If you wake up the system, your system will take you directly less than a second to the Windows to the logon screen with your previous sessionis still active in the background.
    5. "S4" hibernate mode.
    ---> the LED behavior will be like (1), (2) or (3), depending on where you set your system to be.
    ---> When you wake up the system, it takes a few seconds (could be 10 seconds or more, depending on your RAM size) for your HDD to fetch in the previous RAM image back to your RAM.
    So, which behavior you are having right now?
    And now, the potential problem --. LED blink, but no wake up event support, LAN, mouse, keyboard all can't wake up the system, but they are still consuming power. Yup, this could be a HARDWARE problem, or could be solved by BIOS.
    Are you having this problem?

  • P965 Platinum bios v1.4 and E6700 question

    Hi guys.
    All you expert. Tell me one thing if enybody know this.
    Is FSB 335 = 3.3Ghz ok with a E6700 CPU ? Shoulden it be posible to get much higher with this CPU.
    I even have really good Cellshock DDR2800 2.2v 4-4-4-12 ram.
    I left the ram timming to 5-5-5-12 becaurse of the platinum board (bios) bug with 4-4-4-12.
    But i cant raise the FSB much more than 335-338FSB !
    I do have a Zalman 9700Led on it.
    If i remember right, someone had around 400FSB with this combination of hardware i have.
    Please, advises would be awsome. Would love to get more info about this.
    btw, my CPU voltage is around default P965 platinum settings. Is that why ? should i raise the CPU voltage with a E6700 ?
    Thx so far everybody 

    Hi. alright. Did'nt know that E6600 could be better than E6700 for OC.
    Anyway. My system is not unstable. Infact it is rock solid almost what ever i do accept to high FSB.
    Thats why i was awsking all those ram (mem) questions. timing etc. What the best settings was for my system.
    In my first post is some questions about ram and timming.
    My system is infact really nice because it either runs solid or it dosent run at all.. 
    To high FSB and the computer want boot to windows. So right now 333FSB and under sruns smooth.
    The thing was. With system running smooth at 333FSB, i wanted to know what the best ram settings
    was after finding my good FSB settings.
    I tryed manuel ram timing both 5-5-5-12 2T and 3-4-4-12 2T and 5-5-5-18 2T all running good but have no
    idea what the best settings is. And oh, set to auto ram in the cell menu.
    The reason why it was 3-4-4-12 and not 4-4-4-12 is becaurse the BIOS chances it by it self to 3-4-4-12. Bios bug.

    Please read this topic. It's a bunch of info, but it will tell you a lot about this board. Your DRAM is not the issue at hand, BIOS 1.2 is. Flash 1.51 beta to overclock stable. CAS Latency 4 is not an option in the current BIOS versions, it gets set to 3. So for the time being it's either CAS 5 or CAS 3.
