Evga 8800gt issue with my P6N SLI

I recently purchased a bunch of new parts to build my new computer.
MSI P6N SLI
6750 core 2 duo
EVGA 8800GT OC
G.skill 4GB (2 x 2gb sticks)
430W PSU *yes with enough amps for the card.. 3 12v rails totals 30+amps
The problem im having is the card isnt picking up the monitor signal. I dont get the 3 bleeps or whatever that lets you know either the card is dead or the socket is dead so it cant be that.
Any ideas.. im pretty confident everything is working as all fans come on.. lights on MB come on as well as the fan on the 8800GT..
Please help im lost.
Thanks.

Unfortunately i dont have another card to try.. although i plan to go to a friends house later today and see if it works on his comp.
I've hooked up my 4pin connector as well as the 24pin
I have a 6pin pci-e from my psu connected as well.
I've tried using one stick of RAM and tested all Dimm slotts.
I used the x16 PCI-e slot for my 8800gt.. the x8 is empy.. and SLI card is facing the right direction for single card mode.
Also how do i update my bios if i dont have access to a cpu that it supports in its previous bios.. i JUST bought this MB from newegg and would assume it'd be up to date with the current bios.. *least i'd hope*

I bought this PSU today at bestbuy.. not the best place to overspend at but i wanted a quick fix to my old PSU that didnt have enough amps. According to EVGA website they said to add the amps for ALL 12v rails.. if its greater then 20a then your ok.. maybe it was 30a.. either case i've met that.
Thanks for your quick response.

X99S GAMING 9 AC Not booting - Debug 94 code - Issue with GTX 980 SLI in WoW

Hello, I bought the X99S GAMING 9 AC motherboard but have ran into some issues.
The computer won't boot when I put my second MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4 GB card in the last PCEI 3.0 port (PCIE port 5) and I get the debug LED message 94 on the motherboard. I have a SLI setup.
The first card I have in the second PCIE 3.0 port due to the Noctua U14S CPU fan takes up space for the first slot. So I have been running my grafic cards in PCIE slot 2 and 4 with some issues.
First the card in slot 2 gets really warm over 86 celsius. And second: SLI runs really poorly in World of Warcraft. I get a lot higher performance with just one card activated. I am not sure if it's cause I am not running my cards in the recommended PCIE 3.0 ports or because WoW has some issues with SLI, but I heard other people have no issues at all with WoW in SLI.
I got the same issue with 3Dmark firestrike, the cards perform really poor in SLI. I get higher score with SLI turned off..
Though SLI seems to run pretty well in 3dmark 11 and Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
But the main issue right now, is that the computer won't boot with the grafic cards in PCIE port 2 and 5. The solution to run them next to each other is not good, cause it gets really hot and I get bad performance in WoW and Firestrike.
Picture of my setup before I switched places with the grafic cards as you can see, it is really tight:
Any upcoming bios updates (got v1.3) that will solve this issue on the horization? Hopefully this get sorted out really soon..
My whole computer setup:
Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

You must use the recommended PCIE slots as the manual says for your CPU type, PCIE #1 and PCIE #4 if I remember, just open the manual :P for optimal 2Way SLI, also your 5820k will limit to 28 pcie lanes only if you plan to add more vgas...the other problem is your giant CPU air cooler blocking PCIE#1, do a favor to yourself, buy a watercooler for your 5820k and your problems are gone, add some overclock in your system, low noise and better temps.
Here I use 3x980 in SLI with X99S Gaming 9 AC, going soon to WC the VGAs with EK blocks.....3way is far more temperature critical than 2way spaced one.
Cheers

I'm happy with my P6N SLI Platinum

I installed my mb last night as a replacement setup to my old abit fatal1ty an8/opteron 175 setup which was suffering from dying corsair xms ram. Apart from having to do a clean install of vista ultimate with a phone call to ms tech support to reactivate it everything went smooth. I was a little dissappointed with the msi instructions for the front panel connectors which are hard to reach after the floppy cable is connected but otherwise I like this mb. I'm running an e6400 with the stock hsf and my temps are staying between 86-91F so I can't complain. I also flashed my bios to 1.22 before I installed vista just to alleviate any other problems that I might have before they started. Thanks to everyone in the forum who's posted about their mb's which has helped tremendously.

Great to learn that you're glad with the board.

Any1 With MSI p6n SLI-FI

im planning on buying a new HSF and i was wondering which one would be good for this mobo
ive heard that some backplates interfere with something on the back of the board...
which hsf would you prefer?

There are plenty of coolers without backplate too. I'm not into the market of HSF, can't really recommend you one on top of my mind. But I kind of like the (similar) design of Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, which is not as heavy as other HSF, but perform very well, and quite cheap, and has 4-pin fan header.

MSI P6N-SLI with Intel E7300

I have a P6N-SLI board that I've been using for awhile with an Intel E6420 Conroe core processor. I upgraded the BIOS to the new Version 2.6 yesterday and tried to install a new Intel E7300 Wolfdale core processor. The system will not POST, indicating no beeps and no video. The FANS are on Highspeed.
Any advice in getting this system working? I've been running the E6420 for over a year.
I put the E6420 back in and the system booted without issue.
The MSI website indicates that the E7300 is compatible with the P6N-SLI board so it should work.
Again, any advice?
Thank You,
Michael

Henry,
All add-on cards have been checked. I can put the Intel E6420 processor back in the system and it will boot as normal. If I put the Intel E7300 processor in the system, it will not post.

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?

P6N SLI Platinum

I recently built a new computer with the P6N SLI Platinum mobo. The cpu (Intel Duo 2 Core E4300), vid card (evga 8800 GTS), memory (mushkin 2gbddr2 800), hd (Maxtor 320 gig SATA), and psu (apevia atx 500 watt) are all new. When the computer boots, all the fans and leds come on, but the monitor doesn't get a signal and the screen is black. I reseated the vid card and tried dvi/vga adaptor and a different monitor. The orange light and green light on the mobo are on. I used the pcie power 6 pin plug for the vid card. The 24 pin and 4 pin power connections to the mobo are ok. I haven't seen the bios because of the black screen. I also cleared the cmos and still no signal. I also tried an old Voodoo 2 pci vid card without the 2d pass through option and still no signal (don't know if that would work any way, but worth a try). The optical drives and the hd spin so they seem ok. I installed the D bracket with the lights to the usb header and jdb header. Should I see lights on this D bracket when the computer is booting? I don't see any and I don't get any beeps.

I now have no lights on the D bracket after clearing cmos again. I tried booting with one stick of ram and no change, then I tried booting with no ram and no change (no D bracket lights and no beeps). At this point, I have very little plugged into mobo - 1 hd, two optical drives, cpu, 2 fans and that's it.

P6N SLI FI boot problems

Before I start just want to let you know that I'm a little pissed off so forgive me if I leave some details out. Ok, I have two hard drives, 250gb sata with XP and a 80gb with Vista. I rarely use my Vista HDD, I mostly use it just to check on vista stuff. I tried to get on it (changed it to first in the boot sequence) and it won't get on it, it just goes straight to XP. I was like oh well, thats just a problem with Vista. So i reinstall Vista, boots great everything is peachy. But then when I try to go back to XP, well what do you know, its doing what it did to me before, wont let me get onto XP. I have tried completely unhooking the 80gb and it says there is no boot device bla bla bla. I don't know what to try now, short of doing something with the bios (updating or flashing.) I'm probably going to do that now but I was hoping someone on here could help me.
Thanks,
Nick

read Moan Guide and provide full system specification.
"I have two hard drives, 250gb sata with XP and a 80gb with Vista"
"I have tried completely unhooking the 80gb and it says there is no boot device bla bla bla"
"I also tried to force it to boot from my sata (pressed f11 and chose it) and it still didn't work."
ensure that you have active partition on that HDD.
Ok I'm running....
Core 2 Duo e6600 @3ghz
2gb DDR2 Memory
8800gts 320mb OC Edition
P6N SLI-FI
80gb Western Digital IDE HDD (Back up)
250gb Western Digital Sata HDD 16mb Cache 7200rpm SATA 300
Yes there is a partition and a OS on it. I can access files on it through Vista on my 80gb HDD, well after the annoying task of getting permission for everything. I was just booting from it before I installed Vista again so I know its nothing wrong with that. I know if I reinstall XP again it will let me boot from it but I don't feel like having to reinstall the OS everytime I want to switch HDDs.
Pressing f11 at the post screen gives me a list of my storage devices to boot from and that still doesn't let me. I know the XP is fine, it just won't let me on it.

Is there a new bios coming for P6N SLI Platinum for E8400 ?

Hi everyone,
( My system specs are in the signature )
I have been thinking to upgrade my cpu to E8400, but after some time passing through the forums, internet and asking some of my friends, I have decided not to. This is because I have seen many people frustrated and trying get their E8xxx's working on their moboard with endless efforts because of the wrong information given in the CPU support list of P6N-SLI Platinum. Yet, I have seen that only a few people have managed to get it work but with risky, manual adjustments.
So here is my question, will there be a new bios for P6N SLI Platinum that will make E8xxx series post without any adjustments for the users that want to stick with their P6N SLI Plat.?

Please ask here:

P6N SLI Platinum not booting after CPU change

I just upgraded the CPU in my machine with a P6N SLI Platinum motherboard from a E6700 to an E8500. I first upgraded the BIOS to 1.7 as the MSI page seemed to indicate that was a pre-req for this CPU. The machine was working fine for a day with the new CPU.
I changed the CPU in the machine and when I tried to boot, the lights on the motherboard came on as well as the fan, but no video or sound. In addition none of the diagnostic LEDs on the D Bracket light up. They had been previously working. Neither do the lights on my memory sticks light up.
I tried clearing the CMOS by hitting the switch but nothing. I am now going to try switching back CPUs but I don't have much hope that that is the problem given the diagnostic LEDs don't light. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fix or is this motherboard fried?
P.S. Do you hit hte CMOS clear switch when the computer is off but the motherboard is charged? Or do you unplug the computer and wait for the internal orange light to go out as well too?

What is the QC number (by the cpu socket) is 01, 02, or 03?
See this thread for more:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php/topic,123486.msg932471.html#msg932471
Ah. Given I bought my P6N SLI Platinum 3.5 years ago when they first came out I imagine mine is one of the older versions that doesn't support 45nm CPUs by default. Is there a photo somewhere showing where the QC number is located exactly on this MB? It's probably located under my huge CPU heatsink and I'm not going to remove that for a third time just to check.
I really wish the MSI CPU compatibility page mentioned that. It would save me a lot of time. It's not worth my time and effort to dismantle my PC, send them the MB and wait for them to send me back a compatible one.
I verified the BIOS upgrade by looking at the version number at startup and using CPUZ.

E6600 stock sink, P6N SLI Plat.

ok so I built my system last week and its been up and running pretty well for 2 weeks. But I worry about dumb crap often and I noticed when I installed the heatsink, to get the 4 corner fasteners to fasten the board did bend a little bit pushing the socket portion of the board down. Just wondering if this is normal, if theres going to be a failure down the road, just dunno. My AMD 939s never did this.

I'm no expert, but I can say those things are way more flexible than i'd have thought... Had a problem with my P6N SLI-FI, had a sauder ball on one of the holes for my 775 socket.. Before I noticed it I managed to injure my thumb pressing down on the clamp, and the board took the abuse.. I wouldn't recommend but if it works don't mess with it?

P6N SLI Platinum & E8500 NO-GO !(FIXED!!)

Hi,
After my troubles with the P6N SLI V1.0, i went out for a board that should support my E8500.
Also see my previous topic:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114548.0
So now i have installed a P6N Platinum (bios v1.5) witch "should" support the E8500, asuming the info here is correct:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=1140&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=#menu
Unfortunally the E8500 STILL refuse to boot, no matter what i try.
- No post screen,
- No error beeps
- No keyboard leds ligtning up
- No indicators on the D bracket
The board works flawless when i put in a E 6600
The E8500 is tested on a Maximus.
Anything i might have overseen ?

It defnatly does:
Taipei, Taiwan – Micro-Star International (MSI), one of the world-renowned designers and manufacturers of high-quality mainboards, announces its P6N series (680i/650i-based) mainboard will support 45nm Wolfdale (Dual Core) CPUs with an upcoming BIOS update. 45nm Yorkfield (Quad Core) CPUs will be supported on upcoming nForce 700-series SLI mainboards.
I agree that a p35 board probably will support the E8500 but since i use a OEM vista i would use that as LAST option.
At this point, if the E8500 is truly unsupported by the P6N boards, the information currently displayed on MSI's web is very misleading for the end user. Many ppl might be looking for this board as an upgrade to a E8*** series processor.
will support
That's the clincher.......... does not say it does support or when it will support.......
Have you tried checking Nvidia for chipset news updates, as it's Nvidia who really control, what does and does not run.......

570 GTX Twin Frozr II OC - Stability issues with newest drivers

Hi there,
Been noticing lately that i've come across a nasty 280.26 Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding issue with my 570 SLI.
Some people running the 280.26 drivers have also reported, while others have said increasing voltage has fixed their problem.
Could I get some support in finding out how/what to set my voltages too?
The cards are 570 GTX Twin Frozr II OCs. I did get a bios update earlier in the year after some problems, they were clocked at the wrong speed. (786mh instead of 750mhz)
GPU-Z shows im running bios 70.10.17.00.03
Is there a newer one?
Thanks

Quote from: Arthur Hucksake on 02-September-11, 18:12:57
You say the voltage range is upto 1.25mv , but how can a game be unstable but not make use of the 1.25mV barrier? Who is responsible for using the extra voltage when required?
People state they are increasing their mV to make some DX 11 games stable, but how?
If what your telling me, is that the cards are already set to use an increased voltage, why aren't they doing so?
As you can see, under load.... the higher mV range isn't used so the overclocks on the cards are pointless. The more games which come out that use DX11, the more problems you will get.
If it's down to drivers, someone needs to get onto nVidia from a corporate or business level because they won't respond to the end user, they just blame you guys for everything.

Read again my replies, seems you misread most of the parts
Quote from: Arthur Hucksake on 02-September-11, 21:09:00
To add to that, I have to set the voltage to 1.00mv in Afterburner and to get Deus Ex HR more stable with the 280.26 drivers.
So what gives? Is it safe to update the bios to 1.00mv somehow?
Why are these problems only getting found out with the 280.26 drivers?
Where does the customer stand here? There's a direct problem with power handling by all parties involved.

P6N SLI Platinum and E8400 Wolfdale

I see on the site that this combination is still "Under Testing", but is anyone here running this combo successfully with the 1.5 Bios? Also, does anyone know if it will even boot on the 1.4 Bios? I want to purchase this combo but am worried that if I get a board with 1.4 I won't be able to boot it and I don't have a spare processor to be able to boot and then flash to 1.5 (assuming this will work with 1.5).

To be honest I haven't seen that many doa p6n plat's.
Sure there were some troubles, but mostly they can be fixed, especially with latest bios, everything is fine and dandy with my mobo.
Dont worry and just wait most of the owners are very happy with the p6n sli plat.
If you dont know how to flash read here:
