Fastest ram for 845E Max?

just what the thread title sayz...   what r u runnin?  i have a stick of 512 2100ddr and i would like to get 2700 or better.  but from what ive read the board will only recognise up to 2100, is this true or not?

yup im a overclocker...  i just might go out and buy a stick of 2700, just to get that extra fbs i need to get.  my 2100 ram craps out at 157fbs, no matter how much voltage  i add, other wise i like the board.

  • SDRAM Frequency for 845E MAX?

    In my bios I've noticed the setting, SDRAM Frequency. There are 3 settings to chose from 200MHz, 266MHz, and Auto which is the default. Which setting will give me the best preformance? Also my board (845E MAX) says it excepts up to PC2100, will using say PC2700 or higher result in better OC numbers?

    I would leave the SDRAM Frequency to auto. Wouldn't matter if you were running a 533mhz FSB CPU because you are Maxing the frequency for that board. If you get PC2700 it would only be useful for overclocking. Other than that itll act as PC2100 at default.

  • Fastest Compatable DDR RAM For 648 MAX?

    I've been reading about all these problems people have been having concerning RAM/motherboard combinations, and have concluded that my RAM is what is causing my problems (XP/2000 installation difficulties, unrecognizable Gainward GF4 Ti4200 card, boot up problems).  Right now, I have one Kingston Hyper X 512MB DDR434 RAM (which is going out the door soon) installed on my 648 MAX.  
    I originally thought the video card problem was BIOS related because the only thing recommended by XP was to update the BIOS (said motherboard does not support your video card's features; try updating your BIOS).  I tried that through LiveUpdate, and it messed up somehow during the flash, so I tried to restore the original BIOS, but the system was very unstable after that.  I'm about to send my motherboard back for an exchange.  I just found out by reading some posts here that other people have been having the same problem with a similar RAM/video card setup.
    Also, I'm having extreme difficulty installing Win2000.  It installed the first time on a test HDD, but on my new one (WD 80GB 7200RPM ATA100), it wouldn't go in at all.  ;( It went up to the final file copying part (after entering the serial number), and crashed.  It kept doing that, so I gave up and moved on to XP.  XP went in fine the first time, but it wouldn't reinstall after that, even with a reformatted drive.  Other people are having similar problems, and said that once they swapped out their RAM, their problems were gone.
    I'm just looking for the fastest compatible 512MB DDR RAM available for the 648.  Thanks.  

    Heh, funny thing, I was messing around with some BIOS settings, and somehow got my computer to work this afternoon! 8o Reinstalled everything, and was having a good ol time!  :D
    Then, and even funnier thing happened.  I went out this evening, and when I came back, the computer wouldn't work anymore!  X(  This thing is driving me nuts.  I'm definitely gonna pick up either the Corsair or Winbond memory ASAP.  Thanks for the replys everyone!  
    BTW, I've had the hard drive by itself with the jumperless setting from the beginning.  Also, it always wants to be the primary drive, even when it's set to slave and attached at the slave connector on the IDE cable. ?(  I know that isn't a problem right now cause I just have it by itself on the cable.

  • Is old 845E Max the same as 845E Max (HT ready)?

    Hi:)
    I've got MSI 6566 845E Max mainboard. But the only mainboard i found on http://www.msi.com.tw is 845E Max (HT ready). Can i use driver, firmware etc updates if they r for 845E Max (HT ready) to my mainboard? And finally, can i mount a Intel HT processor?
    Thx for answer in advance.

    I am NOT trying to be a WISE-GUY fellas! But I will BET you guy's the house that if he DOWNLOADS the BIOS (5.7) that his MO-BO WILL INDEED BE ABLE TO RUN IN H-T MODE, (as long as he gets a H-T PROC.)!. I say this because this has been done with other MO-BO companies! ie VIA, ASUS, AOPEN. I CAN VERIFY THIS STATEMENT FOR THE FACT THAT MY OTHER PC, A VIA P4BP-400-FL REV 2.0. WAS BUILT BEFORE (HT) CAME OUT, And on the VIA FORUM THESE SAME QUESTIONS WHERE ASKED! BECAUSE THE SAME BOARD WHITH REV.3.0 WAS (H-T) READY. BUT THE NEW BIOS REV. WAS FOR BOTH BOARDS!! I FLASHED BIOS (Thinking my BOARD would be a mess) BUT NO!! MY BOARD WAS NOW (H-T) READY!. SO I MUST SAY THAT I HAVE MORE FAITH IN MSI THEN I DO IN VIA, HENCE THE REASON I SAY THAT (IF THE NEW BIOS IS FOR BOTH BOARDS "REV 1.0 AND LATER) THEN Gotrec WILL INDEED HAVE A (H-T) BOARD AFTER HE FLASHES AND GETS A NEW PROC.!!   PS. IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR HIM I WILL BE IN HIDING ...Sean REILLY875

  • Max ram for 2.4ghz 2008 model intel imac 24"?

      Hi.
    Im trying to get the max ammount of ram in my imac 24" 2008 model aluminum body i believe. it has 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo. and its running mac os x 10.5.8
    I want to get the highest ammount of ram my machine can handle. I know apple says 4gb is max, but im wondering if anyone has put in 8gb and it works?
    also could you tell me what the ram is called exactly so I can type it in to amazon and find the correct kind. Please help me on this issue! I want the MAXIMUM ram for my imac!!! Thanks all!
    Also, would it be worth upgraded to snow leopard? Im new to macs and dont know if that would make a difference? Give me your opinions on this and I'll do as you say for you are more knowledgable then I at macs! thanks again.
    And what all can I download for my machine in terms of operating systems to make it the most current my machine can run at? can I install lion after leopard on my machine?

    The maximum you can put in is 6GB, that is all that machine can address. WWW.MacSales.com (OWC) makes a 6GB kit and I'd recommend purchasing from them. Your machine could be a late 2007 or mid (began shipping in April) 2008. You will need to check the specifications which you can find in your owners manual or click Support in the upper right of this page then click Tech Specs. OWC is the only vendor I know that makes a 6GB kit however if you have the correct specs you can make your own, a 1x2GB DIMM and a 1X4GB DIMM. You don't mention where on the planet you're located, OWC is a US company but will ship overseas.

  • Max HDD & Max RAM for V3757TU

    May I know the Maximum Internal Hard Disk and Maximum RAM for V3757TU ?
    Can I upgrade to 1TB 2.5 Sata HDD and 4GB RAM?
    the current using is 160GB HDD and 1GB RAM.

    Hi:
    According to the service manual if you have the Intel processor, max is 2 GB.
    If you have the AMD processor, max is 4 GB.
    I would run the free crucial memory scanner to see what it reports.
    http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/index.aspx
    If you are changing out all of the memory, get PC2-6400 memory for best performance. Your PC can run better than with the PC2-5300 stock memory.
    Hard drive:
    I wouldn't go past 500 GB. I don't think a 1 TB drive will physically fit in the drive bay. They are normally thicker.
    You can probably also get a SATA II 7,200 RPM drive at the expense of some battery time between charges, but have better performance.

  • 845E Max-L does not see 5 1/4 in. floppy drive

    My first 845E Max-L mb had no problems with my Teac FD-505 combo (3 1/2 in. + 5 1/4 in.) floppy drive. I was able to boot to DOS on the 3 1/2 in. drive and access the 5 1/4 in. drive normally. However, the first board developed a serious problem and was replaced by the vendor.
    The new board is unable to view the 5 1/4 in. drive when booted to DOS on the 3 1/2 in. drive. Both drives are correctly configured in the BIOS and both are visible on the CMOS summary page.
    When I boot into any O/S, both drives are visible in My Computer and both are accessible. However, if the PC is put into S3 standby (suspend-to-RAM) and then resumed, the 5 1/4 in. drive can no longer be accessed and Windows reports an I/O error.
    I removed the Teac combo drive, installed an individual 5 1/4 in. drive, configured it in the BIOS and it was duly identified on the CMOS screen. With a system disk in the drive, the system was booted. It went through a floppy seek, the floppy drive access light turned on, and then the floppy was ignored as the boot continued off the hard drive.
    I tried downgrading the MSI BIOS from ver. 5.7 to ver. 5.5, but that didn't eliminate the problem. (The BIOS was, of course, reset using the JBAT1 jumper.) I tried different floppy cables, to no avail.
    The Teac combo floppy and the single 5 1/4 in. drive work normally on another non-MSI mb.
    How can I get the 5 1/4 in. drive to work correctly and, once in Windows, after resuming from standby? Is use of 5 1/4 in. drives a known problem with this mb? If not, could the problem be due to a bad fd controller?

    Hi, Assaf.
    Thanks for your response.
    FOA, I no longer have the first board, so I don't know its PCB revision.
    As for the new board, how do I see its PCB revision? Is it on the board somewhere? If so, where?
    regards, Andy

  • Need MAJOR HELP recovering an 845E-Max board (no post)

    Hey guys and gals, I need some SERIOUS SERIOUS help here recovering my old board. I have an MSI 845E-MAX board, and decided to do some overclocking to it. While doing it, I raised the FSB too much, and now the system wont post. So I know what your all thinking, ok, take out your CMOS battery, or clear the JBAT1 jumpers. While ive done that, repeatedly, to no avail. Ive cleared the jumpers over and over, nothing. Taken the battery out for a 24hr period, nothing. Took the battery out for nearly a MONTH!, and nothing. Next your probally thinking, while maybe its bad RAM, Vid Card, CPU, etc. While it isnt lol Ive replaced/tested all the current hardware in other systems and they all work fine. Ive got a defenet mobo problem, and its really pissing me off lol on other boards by other manufacturers, if I put my FSB to high and it didnt post, restarting would put it into default specs, so I could adjust my fsb as needed. With this 845E though, its no such luck, and reseting the CMOS dosent do anything to fix it. Ive also read some posts about other boards who dont even have a JBAT1 jumper, and used an "insert" key method, where they power down, hold down the insert key, and boot up. Decided to try this, and it did nothing. I didnt think it was made for my board in the first place, but decided to give it a shot. IVe also tried reflashing/recovering the bios, by downloading the newest bios (its an AMI i believe) renaming it, putting it to a floppy, and booting the system holding CTRL+HOME to force the update. but it does nothing, and dosent even seem to read the floppy as the little green light dosent come on when i power up. The DVD/CD drive does though, and wehn i place WIN XP SP2 in the drive, it reads it and green light stays solid, so its just the floppy drive im having probs with I guess. Also, i get no beeps at startup, but can hear the hard drive boot and spin. I list my hardware specs below to help
    So PLEASE, some MSI guru, help me before I go crazy here! :P thanx a million to any one who can lend a hand.

    I do indeed...and yah i get no beeps at all....
    but everything powers up fine...hdd spins...cd rom turns on, if i put in a Nic card, the green light comes when a cat5 cable is in it. So it looks like everything is receing power fine, but i just get no beeps at all to signify start up

    Built new system about a month ago using 845E w/P4 1.7 Cpu.  Ran 24/7 for 5 weeks and now has died. d Bracket shows RAM Prob, tried 3 different sticks and get same problem. The system started to act funny about 3 days before dying, Mouse Lock ups and system freeze.  I cant belive 3 new Ram sticks are all bad I have tried all combination of them in each slot and adjusting them up a little like it said in another thread but no luck.  Any other ideas.

  • MSI 6566E (845E Max)

    I have recently bought the MS-6566E m/b (845E Max). The problem I experience is strange :
    The 1st time I bought this m/b, it does not detect the HDD (IBM 25GP-352030 or Maxtor D740X-6L0402J. I went to the shop to get a new replacement.
    After installing the m/b again, I still encounter problem but with different case. This time, the m/b always reflect the HDD name incorrectly eg. Maxtor becomes haxtor, or the IBM become IHM etc.. it  continue to be that way.
    This does not end here, on occasion it only detect the Maxtor HDD size as only 5G instead of 40Gb. I did a low level, high leve format, clear the MBR but the problem still happen intermittently without much solution.
    On some occasion after formatting the HDD with eg. with Win98 system, when I boot up, I could not get the 'command prompt' as the system just hang there with only the cursor blinking at the top left of the screen.
    I did change my DDR 266Mhz RAM from Crucial to Transcend but does not help either.
    On the other hand, when I take the 2 HDDs and installed in another PC, it works perfectly ok. Able to see the HDD name correctly and no errors.
    The other funny thing is that, when I managed to get the m/b recognised the HDD, I can install any OS, eg. Win98SE, Win XP or Win2000, however after the completion of installation these OS, I can get th ?( e system
    booted up. The screen will show only the cursor blinking at the top left corner. Various means to get the HDD bootup fail.
    By the way, I have spent about 4 days without resolving the case. The funny thing is that, I'm not so sure even after replacing with another new m/b,
    Grateful for any one of your help.
    Thanks, mf  ?(  ?(

    Yes, I did change the IDE cable and dismantle and reinstall the m/b to the chassis.
    Strangely now that it seems that whenever I cool down the system, I can boot up (eg. Win98) startup boot menu selection, however when I select 'Normal'
    or 'Safe Mode', I will go into 'Fatal Exception 0D at 0147:xxxxxx' error. This always happen after I've cool
    down the system and reboot.
    If I dont let the system cool down, when I boot up, I get
    the same problem of blank screen and the cursor just stay at the top left corner awaiting for something ?
    Ytd, I did manage to get a spare P4 1.7Ghz CPU (478) and replace the exisiting one but the same problem appears as I have mention before.
    I do not suspect the HDD or FDD is having problem as both HDD can be install and configure with different2 OS when installed in another PC.
    I also did try to installed these HDD in this m/b after configuring it with Windows from other PC. However, the
    problem as describe above remains.
    So I have reassemble the m/b, change CPU, change the RAM type, swap the RAM slots, change VGA cards and HDD too. I have now taken 5 days to install this PC.
    Any other help... my friends, mf

  • MSI Why No HT Support On 845e Max Rev1

    Please can someone from MSI tell me if there is anyway to update my 845E Max 6566 MB to utilise Hyper Threading. I have the latest Bios Revision 5.9.
    In the specs on this website it says that the 845E Max DOES support HT. Yet mine does not have a Bios menu for it.
    Is there any way to enable HT short of buying a new MB (which I do not really want to do as I though my current one should support HT).
    TIA

    I would go to http://www.crucial.com/ and select the the specs for by model and processor speed to see if they match up with your ram.

  • Help! Problems with 845E MAX HSF seating

     have a MSI 845E MAX and a P4 2.8 GHz cpu. I bought a coolmaster L71 for 478 socket type but when I put it on the cpu, the four little plastic white pins that hold the HSF mounting tray in place prevents the HSF from actually connecting with the CPU unless I use a load on paste (which is wrong)
    If I take out the pins the HSF sits on the CPU fine but surley this cannot be correct? Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas why?
    I have also tried a mates P4 S478 HSF and it does the same, the four pins seem to stop it touching the cpu correctly.
    Party

    What's up? I got your Email - I don't know about cutting those pins off. Man, that really sucks those heatsinks aren't fitting correctly. What would be wrong with getting a stock Intel fan/heatsink? They are really cheap. I saw one for $7 shipped. Or get the f/h I have. It's a Coolermaster D14-7H53D. However, if you want to try and cut those pins go ahead because you can always buy a new bracket if it doesn't work. Let me know what happens. Good luck.
