FSB on MSI-6580

Is it normal that my FSB is set at 133 in the bios, even though my processor supports the 533 FSB? My system specs are listed below. You'll have to excuse my extreme newbieness when it comes to this stuff...Thanks
MSI-6580 (845GE) motherboard
512mb Crucial PC2700 DDR ram
P4 2.4B ghz processor
Seagate 60gb ATA100 hard drive
MSI 52x CDRW
Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM
Creative Annihilator2 Geforce 2 video card
Creative SB Live! sound card
USR 56k external modem.
Thermaltake 360w power supply

I'm kinda new at this to but I think it goes something like this. Intel rates their FSB *4, so you have a 533 FSB which means 133 * 4 = 533. So if you have it set to 133 your actually running at 533, do you get it, if not I'm sure someone who can explain it better will be along shortly. Good luck!

  • SoundChip on MSI 6580 hangs in Win98SE

    Hi!
    My Soundchip (AC´97) on the MSI 6580 mainboard works fine in Win XP, but I also want to run Win 98 for test purposes.
    When Windows loads the Startsound "cracks up" and it take long time to complete starting Windows, then it slows down the PC, and the Mouse move slowly.
    I´m using the latest driver that´s provided on the MSI Web page, and It´s said that It´s supporting Win98.
    (The same package that´s supporting XP)
    Tried to exclude the other applications that loads from the Registry: Soundman etc, in the Run section in Registry but it didn´t help.
    No conflicts reported in the System manager!
    Any solutions anybody?

  • Max Fsb on Msi Neo2 865pe FS2ir

    I want to know what is the max fsb for MSI 865pe Neo2 P Series board. ?
    Msi 865pe Neo2 FS2ir , this is what i have.
    and if i buy TCCD will it work with this board.

    It's hard to define how much FSB gain you can achieved as it is all dependent on your hardwares and their capabilities to overclock especially PSU outputs.
    Btw, what does your TCCD points to?

  • Future of AMD FSB and MSI

     1. ok, its about incoming athlons (333) , so someone should create a list of MSI boards which can be used with new athlons (333 fsb), also if bios upgrade needed that too.(version)
    2. let someone create a list of manufacturers that 'dont like MSI' - for ex. MSI xxx board with xxx memory or so...

     :(  ?( Only one so far, the KT4V supports 2800 333FSb, but its kinda hard to tell, because niether are available here in the USA yet. Time will tell if MSI will support 333FSB cpus on other boards. BIGDADDY51 ;(

  • MSI x48 cant change FSB at all

    hi,
    i would like to ask if anyone of you encountered problems with changing FSB on MSI x48 platinum, because I'm encountering very weird "bug", everytime i change FSB save and restart bios showing me its running on ie. 8x350 but when i boot to windows and check it in everest/vista/CPU-z/whatever its showing only 8x333 which is default, after some tries i found that if i set any value to FSB it will boot up and bios will shows what i set and in windows its still at 8x333, i tried even some insane values like 8x600 and even 8x800 without any change of voltage only DIMMs i have at 1.92, everytime its booting up with bios showing 8x600/8x800 but its obvious that running 8x800 without any change of voltage is unreal so ....are there any secret values in bios which can disable "overclocking" ? can i access them ? how ? can re-flashing bios v2.2 with v2.2 from web pages help ? if it causing bad HW, which one ? CPU ? MB ?
    PS: my brother have exactly same setup as me, and he doesn't have this problem, only thing we made different is that i installed Vistas with ACPI S3 and he with S1
    PS2: i have 30-35°C on CPU idle and 40-45° burn depending on ambient temperature
    NB is something like 50 ?
    PS3: my setup is in signature, just ask for more details if its not sufficient

    just want to inform you that today bios flashing to version 2.3 solved my problem...i was finally able to overclock my PC :P

  • AMD Athlon XP 2800 (Barton Core) will not post at FSB 166 MHz.

    Per top of the board “stickys” I have read a great number of the post on this board and done my homework to provide as much technical info to help you help me. This should explain some of it’s lengthy nature.

    However, v. 1.c did not work and would not post at all with the newly installed Barton AMD-XP 2800. [frankly this attempt was months ago and I do not remember whether it would post at the slower 100 and 133 FSB speeds, and also to muddle my memory further I was upgrading an A7N8X-D with a Barton XP 3000 and having similar problems on the ASUS,,, which is now running fine at full potential. ; - p
    •   Then I selected and flashed A6712 V 1.7 122602, boots and runs Win.XP-sp2 at FSB 100MHz & 133MHZ.  (MSI:” Supports AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
    -Fixes system sometimes will have IDE CRC error   -Fixes D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.)”    which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz.
    I checked with the Tech. at the local shop where I purchased the KT4V MoBo. He suggested I try a different BIOS but he didn’t specify which one. He is a personal friend and admits to some bad luck and dead boards due to flashing bios so reluctant to mess with it.
    •   Now running:  A6712vms.1B0 – MSI hid this BIOS V. found here:
    •   http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=362&kind=1
    •    On a different page than the 2 versions mentioned above. http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
    •    No wonder people are frustrated and confused about different MoBo versions there ID #’s and the BIOS versions them selves as seen on this news board. MSI’s fault, no fault of anyone here trying to help.
    A6712vms.1B0
    Runs fine at FSB 100 (shows as XP 1250+) and FSB 133 (shows as XP 2200+) Booting to Win. XP-sp2 on CMOS, default setup other than minor tweaks to accommodate MSI Ti 4200 AGP 8X 125mb graphics card or Gilmond PCI card. But which couldn’t run FSB 166MHz .
    No post at FSB 166 mhz (once, it did flash a post screen stating AMD Athlon XP 2800 for about 2 sec. before going blank) Manual power down. Just now I rebooted with FSB 166, and again saw the AMD Athlon XP 2800 at top of the post screen as I hit pause break,,,, then the machine power crashed to Off. Once it even loaded Win.XP-sp2 but crashed to power off with in 2 min.
    I must have booted this beast a dozen times or more after Clear CMOS jumper each time it went to blank screen with mach. still running. Start over; set Default settings and work up with FSB 100, 133, each time to read what POST says and see if it will boot to O/S.
    Btw: I have looked for clear evidence through the not so specific descriptions MSI uses to separate these board model #s and may be part of my current problem with correct board ID = correct BIOS ID.

    Eg: - KT4 Ultra (MS-6590), 6-channel hardware audio codec
       • KT4 Ultra (Pure Version)
       • KT4 Ultra-B (Bluetooth ready)
       • KT4 Ultra-BSR (Bluetooth ready + Serial ATA RAID)
       • KT4 Ultra-FISR (Bluetooth ready, Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
    - KT4V (MS-6712), 6-channel software audio codec
       • KT4V-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
    - KT4M (MS-6596) micro-ATX board
       • KT4M-L, with onboard 10/100 LAN
    - KT4A Ultra, (MS-6590) NEW!! based on KT400A chipset
       • KT4A Ultra (Standard Version)
       • KT4A Ultra-SR (Serial ATA RAID)
       • KT4A Ultra-FISR (Serial ATA RAID, Gigabit LAN, IEEE 1394)
    And a very similar version of this on Official MSI site. Both seem to try and make a difference between modles with on board Lan, and Blue Tooth ready.
    Take a look at my original box sticker:
    *As seen on face of MoBo: KT4V MS-6712   Ver:10A
    *The Original Box bar code label: KT4V-L (601-6712-050)
    K7, KT400. 5.1 chnl. S/W Audio, LAN, D-Bracket 2.
    Yup, it says all this on the sticker and the in the manual and verified on the MoBo. So I can only guess at all parts of the puzzle as they gave them to me which lead me to the afore mention BIOS versions I ran, or am running. The sticker points to nearly half of the boards above except for the MS-6712 and the Ver:10a which is what I based my BIOS choices on. If someone knows differently and can lead me to official Nfo with a better answer I’m all ears.
    Just saw this: Latest Official BIOS : KT4 MS-6590 (1.4), KT4V  MS-6712 (1.8 ) , KT4M MS-6596 (1.1)>>Here: [VIA] unofficial FAQ for KT4 series motherboards

      Cut to sound track: Down on the BIOS again,,, wasn’t that Creedance Clear Water Revival?
    Any suggestions or insights are much appreciated. 

    Welcome, and thank you for a thorough input! Hope I don't miss something you already said!
    Quick version: Try setting processor voltage to 1,5 volt.
    Long version:
    Posting at wrong FSB can be put down to two things:
    1 The processor isn't what you thought it is, but I think you eliminated that.
    2 The system cannot run the processor at the correct speed. Mainly this has to with overheating, and/or that memory and processor cannot cooperate. This must be it, as you noticed the processor is correctly recognised.
    You have little connected right? Then the best thing would be to pull power cable out. Take the motherboard and redo the seating of the processor, this is much better done with motherboard taken out.
    At the same time, I suggest you clear CMOS. Should always be done when changing processor, and I've noticed on the Internet there are a few 1,5V XP2800 around.

  • Problem installing MSI P35 Platinum & MSI NX8600GT & windows XP

    Hi all,
    I just bought my MSI P35 platinum mobo and MSI NX8600GT graphics card.
    Was trying to install XP on it.  During installation, got the following error message :
    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer.  If this appears again, follow these steps:
    Check to be sure you have adequate disk space.  If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates.  Try changing video adapters.
    Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates.  Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.  If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
    Technical Information:
    *** Stop : 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF748E0BF, 0XF78DA208, 0XF78D9F08)

    Then it just freezes there.  Any ideas how I can resolve this ? Please help

    Hi
    I wonder if you could help me.
    I am curious, the below is the spec of my machine.
    AMD Athlon XP 3000 + 333 FSB CPU
    MSI K7N2-IL 2M/B

    though the graphics card is reported as MSI MS-StarForce GeForce FX 5900 Ultra [Nividia GeForce 5900 Ultra] in Windows control panel.
    I am needing to learn more about exactly what is what in this PC.  
    I have installed MSI Live monitor and have upgraded to NVIDIA nForce System Drivers though my graphic driver is still reported as 4.4.0.3 or 43.51 [another question why are there two versions given to graphic drivers?]
    As Live monitor doesn't report any further updates possible when there are newer Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website - can I install these ?
    Also I am looking for a utility to monitor, change fan speed and temperature, is the Nvidia  system utility ok to use?  It says that it's only compatible with
    nForce3 Pro
    nForce3
    nForce2
    I'm not sure if I only have Nforce ?
    I would really appreciate any help you may give - I know that the above probably sounds as if I'm as thick as 2 short planks.

  • MS-6580 845PE and PCI Radiolink Mediaforte

    I have MSI-6580 Ver 2.0 with latest BIOS Ver 3.7. I installed PCI Radiolink from Mediaforte. After booting this mainboard recognised only PCI Radiolink and Sound card on mainboard is not working /is disabled/, its not possible to use. Problem seems similar as was described by somebody else, that its not possible to use two sound cards. I tried all BIOS version from WEB inclusive older one, I have changed PCI RadioLink in different slots, but no result. Similar problem I had before with new MS 865PE NEO-LS, but problem was resolved with newest Beta Version of BIOS.    
    Knows somebody solution for this problem?

    Hi dalibor,
    Hummmhh... 2 sound cards on 845 mobo... Have not tried before but you can check for IRQs conflicts to see if this 2 devices are conflicting each other
    All the Best... :D!!!

    I have 845PE motherboard (model 6580) and  SoundBlaster Live! installed. I want to make both SB Live & internal AC'97 sound available simultaneously. Now only one of audio device is active. If SB is removed from the PC internal AC'97 audio active & works properly. With SB plugged into PC internal sound is disabled.
    The mentioned thing I had succesfully set up on my i850 MSI motherboard.
    Any idea?

    So. I guess that :( Does anyone know any alternative BIOSes for MSI 6580. May be AWARD's one? I read in FAQ on the site that MSI usually prepare two BIOSes for each M/B and there is opportunity to flash AWARD over AMI.
    Where can I find alternative BIOS image?
    Hey, MSI! Any plans for the AMI BIOS future!!!

    - RAM - Kingmax DDR PC3200
    - Vhich VGA?
    Momentary configuration
    Celeron 1,7
    512 DDR Infineon PC2100,
    VGA ATI 7500 (AGP 4X, 64DDR, DVI)
    IBM 40G + WD40G HDD...
    If P4C does not work with this, then P4 3,066GHZ is the fastest cPU that can be used

    psu combined 3.3 and 5 v is?
    amps 3.3 and 5 v?

  • MSI P43 NEO-F, Q9400, GSkills 4GB DDR2-1066 unstable... help!

    Just built a new system with the following hardware:
    CPU: Intel Quad Core Q9400 (stock: 2.66Ghz 1333Mhz FSB) (running @: 3.2Ghz 1600Mhz FSB)
    Motherboard: MSI P43 Neo F (1.A or 1.10 BIOS)
    Memory: G Skills 2x2GB DDR 1066 5-5-5-15 (F2-8500CL5-2GBPK) (running @ 800 2.1v only, not stable at 1066 2.1v)
    Video Card: MSI ATI R4870
    PSU: OCZ GameXStream, OCZGXS700 7OO watts, 4x +12V@18A outputs
    Cooling heatsinks are all stock, but air flow is good with the new TT case.
    Current voltage settings:
    CPU Voltage: 1.335V
    CPU GTL REF0: Auto
    CPU GTL REF1: Auto
    DRAM Voltage: 2.1V
    MCH or NB Voltage: 1.328V
    VTT FSB Voltage: 1.2V
    MCH GTL REF Voltage: Auto
    ICH or SB Voltage: 1.5
    Does anyone have the similar setup or any idea why I can't get the system running at 3.2GHz @ 1600FSB and 4GB @1066MHz ?
    I've ran multiple tests with PRIME95 and Memtest64, and was unsuccessful.
    System actually got through Prime95's small and large FFT test OK, but failed the Blend test. So I'm leaning towards the memory.
    But I got LOTS of errors from Memtest86, while memory set at 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 2.1V
    What voltage should I be tweaking the CPU, NB and SB to get the RAM to pass Memtest?
    I'm not asking much, but it seems these overclocked DDR2-800 RAM aren't that stable at 1066 without tweaking other components. B/C the system definitely wasn't stable with CPU/FSB @ stock speed and RAM set at 5-5-5-15, 1066, 2.1V
    Don't know why they call it DDR2-1066 when it only runs stable at DDR2-800...
    Any advice would help,
    Thanks

    The P45 Memory controller natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 modules.  From the point of view of the chipset, DDR2-1066 is beyond specifications.  Also, your memory modules are just DDR2-800 sticks with a permission to overclock, not native DDR2-1066 modules, built to work @1.8V.
    This double overclocking makes a stable system @DDR2-1066 somewhat of a hit & miss situation.
    Do you have options to tweak the DDR Reference Voltage Values in BIOS?
    Nope, I didn't find a DDR Ref Voltage value.
    Hmm , I thought the MSI specs posted would mean the chipsets and mainboard can sustain double overclocking...
    Cause the memory module report on the MSI website actually has my memory set, and results were OK when operating at DDR2-1066.

    I wonder what settings they used...
