hello,

soccrstar,
I have no idea when it is going to be released, but I am 100% positive you will not find it in the nVidia/AMD/SiS Socket A Motherboard Forum! :D
I moved your thread to the PIV forum, where it belongs.
Take Care,

Msi 655 max fisr ht ready: does it have fsb800 support?

i own msi 655 max fisr mobo, that supports ddr333 and fsb 533 as msi says. but it can handle also ddr 400 through overclocking and the bios has an option for fsb selection up to 250 mhz. according to me, this meens that one can use a cpu at fsb 800 by overclocking the mobo from the bios, even if it doesn't support the microcode of the cpu. does anyone have tested this statement, as at the time it is onlu speculation by me, as it is too expensive for my to buy new cpu and try it.
moreover, my revision of the mobo is stepping b0, thus it supports ht cpus and if it proves to support fsb 800 by overclocking, then i can keep it for a while, upgrading my system only with new cpu. i'll be thankful if anyone can provide me with some information on this topick.

What I am trying to explain is the downclocking of a DDR 400 RAM 1st to 333 Mhz then try to o/c to get DDR 400 or above, not saying that you are wrong.
Any board can support o/c'ing but it is all up to whether the hardwares that you have and their capability to do so as no one can actually determined whether or not the hardwares that you have will definately let you ends up the way it's really meant to be as there's always important facts being left out so it's always trial and error...
I have 2 of these systems running on the same mobo, but the highest I can reached with DDR 400 RAMs are just near DDR 400 not exactly 400 MHz and FSB are at near 170 quad = 170 x 4 = 680FSB... from a FSB 533 CPU. Both have different results as 1 is with DDR 333 RAMs o/c'ed to 380MHz on 2.8 B CPU and another with DDR 400MHz down to 333MHz then o/c'ed up to near 400Mhz on 2.8B CPU also...

MSI 655 Max

I knew this was going to happen, right when I upgrade to the 648 max ;(
msi 655 max :D
dual channel ddr :D

Whoa, what luck Thinker
But then if you are satisfy with your 648 Max, I don't see the point of upgrading until some point in the "near" future. :D

MSI 655 MAX DDR Support

Does the 655 MAX support single channel DDR333?

aight cool, then in that case i just ordered this board from newegg!!!

MSI 655-max stability@OC

HEllo,
I tried to set FSB 166 and there were some stability problems. I know, CPU (2.4B) coul not be so good, but Is here somebody, who is stable at 166Mhz? Is chipset able to work at this freq.?
And what about BIOS? I think, that some restrictions like only +0.1V to CPU is bad. Could anybody make "new" version"? I know, it is difficult, but I think somebody could.... I have no docs about bios structure.
And last question, My power suply (ATX 2.03 written!!) have ONLY! one power cable to motherboard. The second one (4 pin - CPU power suply) is not there. Everything runs OK, but I think it's not good. Is it big problem or is it OK?
Thx, and english is not my hobby, sorry

No, I haven't actually. I read good reviews of this powersupply, and couldn't beat the price (100 bucks with an Antec case). I guess I'll have to pick up a higher-wattage supply and give it a shot. The Antec True Power is a pretty good one, yeah?

Cannot restart using 4 RAM Modules on 655 Max HT Ready (MS-6730)

When I use four 512MB RAM modules, my computer starts up and works fine. The only problem is, that I can't restart the it (D-LED boot-error: Memory Failure). To make it run again i have to turn it off and unplug the power cable.
When there are only two RAM modules installed (slot 1 & 3), everything works fine.
What settings do I need to make in the BIOS that it works with all 4 memory modules?
I got four identical and tested Kingmax DDR333 Ram 512MB (MPM33d-383, http://www.kingmax.com/product/pro_deskMPMC22D-38KX3.htm)
my pc-configuration:
655 Max-FISR (6730) v1.0
BIOS A6730SMS v 1.1

thanks and cheers

buenas wonkanoby
thanks for your reply. finally i made it work: its this freaky kingmax-ram....
i exchanged two of the kingmax modules by veritech modules and everything works fine now. instead i got problems now with an MSI 648Max-L Board from which i took the veritech memory......
so if anyone else reads this:
[size=15]IF YOU GOT AN MSI 655 MAX OR 648 MAX AND YOU WANNA USE TWO OR MORE MEMORY MODULES GET VERITECH DDR333/512MB (OR WHATEVER) BUT DEFINITELY NOT CRAPPY KINGMAX DDR333/512MB!!! [/SIZE]
cheers and enjoy :D

655 Max-LS + Geforce FX 5600

I'm having problems with the MSI 655 MAX-LS motherboard and MSI 5600 FX Cards, tried both the 128mb and 256mb version. It works fine until a driver is installed, then I just get a blank screen when it boots into win. Doesn't matter which driver you use, tried so many versions, tried the latest AGP driver from SiS, there's no new bios for the Motherboard. If I put in a Geforce 4 MX 440 it works just fine ... got any ideas? I was about to look for a flash for the FX cards ...

Hi IceAce,
Can I have more details of your com specs cos it looks to me like you are facing a PSU problem (most likely) as you are running a FX 5600 card and a P4 board. Did you update your windows service packs?
You can also check on http://www.hardwarezone.com to one of their reviews on the FX drivers that is more suitable for your system.
All the Best... :D!!!

655 MAX-FISR SATA RAID-0 ?

?(
I am running into a small problem while upgrading a high end workstation at work and wondered if anyone was having the same problem, or could provide some advice. Here are the main specs.
-MSI 655 MAX-FISR (MS-6730) (No HT)
-Antec 400W power supply
-Intel P4 2.66Ghz 400/533Mhz Bus
-Crucial (2 sticks) 512mb DDR PC2700
Aligned in DIMM 1+3 as recommended by MSI
-MSI 128MB 8XAGP DDR Ti4200-Td8X
-Seagate (2 SATA) Barracuda Serial 80GB
In Raid-0
Here is my problem, and small but painful so far. The floppy controller on the 655 does not appear to be working. It registers in the BIOS and is setup to be the first boot device. When XP installation starts it asks to press F6 if you need to add SCSI,RAID,etc software. I press F6, and about a minute later it asks for the floppy with drivers for the onboard promise SATA software. Floppy does not initialize. The power lite just stays on. I tried to other floppy drives and another cable which I know work. Still nothing. I need to load this driver otherwise the SATA drives can not be seen by XP. I even tried it a different way with Seagate DiscWizard, but the boot floppy does not work that way either. I am thinking that the floppy controller on the board is bad. All the hardware is setup / configured properly. BIOS is all set.
Very frustrating, I hope that I am just missing something small. I have a tech support email sent to MSI. Thanks in advance if you can help.

Andy2 / Wonkanoby,
I will try flipping the cable now and the bios. Only thing is that the cable and board both have the cable guide tab that normally prevents you from putting the cable on the wrong way. Unless I really forced it on without paying attention. I have to go to another office but thank you for your quick response. Hopefully it is that simple.
Whipsnade, yes I have tried two other floppys and one other cable with the same results. Hopefully I will have a postive post when I try Andy2 / Wonkanoby recommendations.
Thank you all for the quick response!

Problems with 655-MAX FISR

I have an MSI 655-MAX FISR motherboard and I installed a Radeon 9000 128mb Pro on it. I play counter-strike alot and on my old pc, like 2 or 3 months before I built this one it started to skip and I got this motherboard and it skips on counter-strike too. I play for like 10-15 seconds then I freeze for like 5-10 then I play for like 10-15 seconds again and so on. I have tried a Radeon 9700 Pro 128mb and it does the same thing and I have also tried different ram and it does the same thing. What could be causing this problem? Is it the fact that this motherboard only works with Geforce cards ? Plz help me! Thanks.
My Rig :
Pentium 4 2.41 GHZ with 533FSB
80 Gig Maxtor HD
550 Watt Power Supply
Radeon 9000 128mb Pro
512mb PC2100 266mhz - also tried 512mb PC2700 333mhz together and seperate
Kingwin K-11 Case

Did that already, when I uninstalled the drivers for 9000 and put in 9700 but it still did the same thing. What else could be the problem, I have tried alot of things and don't know what else to do. Help Plz :(

MSI 655 Won't boot.

I have a problem with my comuputer. It started with the computer freezing after a while. It had nothing to do with Windows, since it froze in Windows-installer or when booting from floppy too. Now the computer won't boot at all, the POST-message never appears on the screen after power-on. I have tested RAM and GFX in other computers, and they work fine. I have also tested with another power supply unit, with the same result. So I think it is the motherboard that is the problem, but I wanted to hear if anyone else has exprienced a similar problem. I have not installed any new hardware recently, and it has worked fine for 8 months.
My system:
MSI 655 Max FISR
P4 2.53 GHz
512 MB OCZ DDR400
PoV Gforce 4 Ti4200 128 MB
160 GB Maxtor SATA IDE
350W PSU

Ok, I need to admit that the 655Max was a problematic board... I was also told by my local distribution engineer that ver1.0 of the chipset was not well made so alot of problems surfaced out. But before fully pointing my 10 little fingers on the mobo, I would like to ask some questions.
1) List out the Specs of the PSUs that you've used before or tested before on this system.
2) Did you lower your DDR400 RAMs to DDR 333MHz in BIOS first before installing and anything else?

655 MAX-FISR SATA RAID PORT

(wonkanoby, can you use the force to help me on this one?)
Configuration:
MSI 655 Max FISR 6730 (non HT) MoBo
Antec True 400W
(2)Western Digital (10,000 rpm) Raptors
Intel P4 2.66ghz
MSI TI4800 8XAGP
Plextor 48/40/48 burner
MSI 52X CDROM
Problem:
The second SATA port is not working (ser2)
both drives have been tested and work fine. (ser1) shows the drives seperately in the array. (ser2) does not show either of the drives.
I have tried tons of different configurations, cleared CMOS, re-seated everything, disabled/re-enabled SATA in bios, still nothing.
???Does anyone have any ideas/tricks to get this (ser2) port working correctly so I can setup both harddrives???
Background:
I have already had to send back (MRA-NewEgg) this board one time because of a similar problem that I did not spend a lot of time troubleshooting. I know that a lot of people are having problems and that the SiS 655 sucks! :O This time I decided to troubleshoot and that it might be something small I was missing. No such luck. I do not feel like sending this back and losing another week of use on this workstation unless absolutely necessary. I do have this same board on a similar system with (2)SATA Seagate 7200 drives and it works great. I am really losing my respect for MSI though as I have never had a bad motherboard from other companies, and this is 2 in a row for MSI. I even tried this:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/e_service/forum/index.php?threadid=18931&boardid=10&sid=2ffcacaf0448de534331ac97aaa46912
with no luck.
Advice:
If I can't get this working and return, I really do not want to get another 655 board. I have not read up yet on the (Canterwood 875P Chipset) boards from MSI. Has there been similar issues / problems with SATA Raid as the 655 has? Im thinking of just paying the restocking fee with NewEgg and going with an Intel Canterwood board. Sure, the overclocking is not as good as other manufacturers, but this is a work machine so it won't be OC anyway. I would rather go with stability. Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

655 max 6730 crashing specialist comp

i have a 655 max msi 8xtreme 6730 version 1.0 mother board with a 2.4 northwood p4 512 ram i have tried the basic config with nothing more than the board and a video card ranging from radeon 7000 gefrce 4 and now geforce fx 5200 and othe hard ware like sound blaster live 5.1 various ether net or lan cards and various didgital cameras and nothing works on this hunk of useless worthless equipment the only reason why this thing exist is to bring out the inner anger from deep in my spirit from just crashing with no message to mem dumps X( ;( ?( :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O :O please e-mail me @ [email protected]

I have a MSI 655 MAX-L (BIOS= A6730SMS V3.0 02252003) and a
Club3D 9800Pro 128Mb VGA card (BK-ATI VER008.004.008.018)
I had the problem that when WinXP Pro SP1 was started, it
freezes or black screen (Monitor led burning orange instead
of green) and i have to reboot with reset button.
Also sometimes it went back into VGA mode and i had to reboot WinXP.
WinXP log file says:
Source: ati2mtag
Discription:
The driver ati2dvag for the display device DeviceVideo0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the
device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates.
The solution for me is: Disable Fast Write is the BIOS and
in WinXP and put AGP to 4x instead of 8x in WinXP
Now i got 5723 points in 3DMark 2003 and no problems
You can find these options in WinXP: Display Properties ->
Settings -> Advanced -> SMARTGARD
I use: WinXP PRO SP1, Radion v3.04 drivers, SiS IDE v2.03, SiS AGP v1.16a,
Try this solution, maybe it will help

ps: i still like to have a solution to put agp back to 8x and enable fast write

655-max Fisr

Hi,
I got some problems with my MSI 655-MAX FISR Motherboard. I play alot of Counter-Strike and when I play my comp freezes for about 5 seconds then I can move again for like 10-15 seconds then it freezes again for 5 seconds and so on. It does this over and over and frankly I don't know what the problem is. I have a Radeon 9000 128mb Pro and I tested a Radeon 9700 128mb Pro on it but it did the same thing. Could it be my memory or something???
My Rig Is As Follows:
Pentium 4 2.41Ghz
Maxtor 80 Gig HD
Xcase 550 Watt Power Supply
PC2100 266mhz 512DDR RamRadeon 9000 128mb Pro
2 Front fans, 1 Rear fan, 1 Side Panel fan, plus the CPU and VGA fans.
Someone please help me with this problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dont forget now, Counter Strike is a Very Graphics Intensive 3D Game, And I am in NO way Knocking your Graphics Card But Understand that the Radeon 9000 is NOT Really Built For High Performance Gaming Card. You should Save up for a Higher Performance "Gaming GPU", I mean I have seen the All Powerful ATI-9700-Pro Advertized for $200.00US Dont Forget this Card was Over $400.00 1 Year AGO, and it is Just a Hair Bit Slower than the 9800-XT....Second, I think that You have answered your Own Question as Far as your Current RAM is Concerned, I mean I see where your 655-MAX Even Supports Up to PC-3200 (DDR-400MHZ) RAM >>> http://www.msicomputer.com/product/detail_spec/product_detail.asp?model=655_Max-FISR If you were to Get Even 512MB of some Either Corsair, or Kingston "Value Series" RAM, Your Bandwith would Increase by Leaps and Bounds .
Your Processor is Definitely Fast enough for Great Gaming, along with your MB. So if I were you, I would First Upgrade the RAM, and see where this Brings you, and you can Do this For about $100.00 Bucks. Then worry about updating Graphics Later, Especially if other than the Temporary "Lock-Ups" and resuming, You are Satisfied with the Overall Graphics Quality...............Sean REILLY875

655 Max-FISR - Raid inaccessible

I just put together my new system today - MSI 655 Max motherboard - installed two identical new 80GB Seagate serial HDDs - everything started up just great - got the Raid 0 set up, installed WinXP and was busily installing software and devices (sound card, USB mouse, etc) when at one of the reboots I got the message "No array is defined". I had probably rebooted a dozen times without incident prior to this.
When I go in to set the array back up, whether I try to use auto-setup or to redefine the array when I go to save I get the message "Error occurred when modifying array" - and the only option from there is to hit any key to reboot and go back into the same loop.
Both drives show up on the menu to define the array - they show as being "free" and not assigned to an array. When I try to reassign them to an array and save I get the same error message. ?(
I have tried resetting my CMOS, clearing ESCD in BIOS, reconnecting all the SATA cables, removing all the peripherals I had added (sound card, etc) with no luck at all.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks.

OK so check this out.. I put together my new Workstation with 655 Max.. Right? Now I put it together with the tech at work.. Everything worked except the 10 mins wait to boot into windows.. And it happened right after I installed latest Nvidia Drivers..
That was going to be my on going problem to fix when I brought the machine home.. Now I get home power the machine.. Boom my serial ata drive array can not be found.. I am like !!! so I reseat everything try all night.. nothing.. It shows up in the Serial ATA menu to create aray but when I go to do something.. Boom error creating must restart. So I bring my machine back to work have the Tech look at it.. and what do you know.. Everything is fine.. Array shows up first time on.. Windows loads.. withthe 10 min wait.. SO I am like We try 20 times in a row.. Nothing always finds Aray..
Now I go home with my machine looking to trouble shoot the video card right? Wrong.. Can't find Aray.. Now I plugged my machine in every single Outlet in my Apartment and I even used a APC and without a APC>. still can't find the Array.. Now I am thinking that people having this problem might be having fluxuations or Nosie in the electric. That is the only outcome I can come up with.. And for some reason I take it these Serial Ata drives must be very sensitve.. or the Motherboard must be sloppy or something.. I am not that technical but I can figure this much out so far.. Anyone want to back me up with my THeory?
