Hardware Review for MSI DR8-A2

I found this review of the "not so enthusiastic" MSI DR8-A2 optical drive.

The main negative points: The most noticeable problem is the writing quality with all types of DVDR/RW discs, there are just too many discs that it has problems with. Beside this there are some small point worth mentioning; It’s not a good drive for backing up protected game discs as it do not even qualify as a “one sheep” writer. And it does not support bitsetting and writing/reading 99 minute CD-R discs.
To sum it all up, this is the best we could say: “The DVDR/RW writing quality needs improvements before this drive becomes a good choice.”

That review is ancient:

Our sample was produced in China and has a production date of April 2004
I very much doubt if this model is still available anywere.

  • Need hardware monitor for MSI 8851

     :O
    I need some help with locating a hardware monitor for the MSI geforce3 Ti200 (8851).  Does anyone know why this graphics card doesn't come with the hardware monitor or the virtual desktop?  If you know where to find such a program, well, you know what to do.

    There should be 3 ways to do it
    1. Use the MSI CD autorun to install 3D Turbo Experience
    2  Manually install the 3D turbo exp from MSI CD path
    Utility/MSI/3dturbo/3dturbo.exe
    3. download 3D turbo exp from MSI website:
    3D! Turbo Experience
    Take Care,
    Richard
    Richard -
    I tried both the CD version of this and the website version and got the same problem - everything works except the Fan Speed, Temperature, and Voltage sections.  They do not respond.  They do work on an MX440 card we installed in a PC at the store I work at - why don't they work for this card?
    The card is the MS-8871 Geforce4 Ti4400-TD.  Is there a way to make this work, or if not, is there another program out there that will give me the fan speed, temps, and voltage?  I would like to know this information.
    Thanks!

  • My Review for MSI Big Bang Xpower & Overclocked

    This will be the very 1st X58 big bang series of MSI and the 1st X58 MSI motherboard to have USB 3.0 and SATA 3 connections. Targets the enthusiast, hardcore gamers as well as overclockers. This board is already equipped with OC Genie buttons which was first implemented for MSI P55 series motherboards. YOu will also see later that instead of the old power, reset and Direct OC Easy Buttons. They are all now soft touch. PCI slots were also removed and been replaced by PCIEx16. There will be x6 PCIEx16 slots for this board ready for multi gpu setups. Military Class Components are also implemented into the board like Solid Caps, better chokes and server grade caps.
    Here you will see that the components around the socket area are well layout and very good in quality. These are Hi-C Cap on PWM and super ferrite chokes. Im sure this will provide the best efficient voltage to the processor during normal use and as well as during overclocking. See the two 8pin power connector for the Processor? This will provide more headroom for overclocking the processor especially for Gulftowns
    Forgot to mention other things like The board has V-Check points to measure actual voltage for CPU Vcore, VTT, DDR and IOH. Debug led indicator for easy isolation of boot up problems or mobo problems. Jumper for removing voltage wall limits and lastly the board includes an audio card for best audio experience.
    So next these are the rear ports
    Bundled Accessories. Sata cables, Sata power, IDE cable, USB 2.0 Bracket, eSATA Pack, M-Connectors, V-check Cables and a great gadget for overclocking the board on the fly "OC Dashboard" (shows also the current temps, and voltages)
    For some serious 2D Bench Results and overclock on air
    First run. 4.6ghz Spi32M
    Second run. 4.8ghz Spi32m

    What were your settings to get those overclocks?
    He's in a competition, I doubt he will reveal this information.

  • PC Gamer published one review for MSI GS30 2M shadow with gaming dock

    MSI’s GS30, with its Gaming Dock, is the first to actually deliver on the promise of using a normal desktop graphics card bolstering a thin ‘n’ light, non-gaming notebook.—Dave James
    Highlights:
    1.You can switch between thin ‘n’ light laptop to gaming desktop in a trice
    2.The dock’s connection to the notebook is a full x16 lane PCIe 3.0 socket.
    3.It’s a beefy quad-core, octo-thread processor of Intel Haswell ilk running between 2.8GHz and 3.5GHz
    4.There’s also a huge 16GB of DDR3 memory inside that little package too
    5.With the CPU and Iris Pro graphics it’s a powerful little thing in its own right.

    MSI GS30 with GamingDock is an ingenious idea and it's simply to upgraded. 

  • Brain food for MSI engineers, malware in MSI hardware

    Good Morning Everyone,
    This is for MSI engineers, I will be happy if you can sort out this problem or in any case this email will help you design your systems better in the future. Let me start by thanking MSI engineers for doing a great job, I love and enjoy the MSI products and services. Thanks for doing a great job. Now to the problem...
    I have an old PC based on G31TM-P21 mother board. I have gifted it away to my friends/students and they came back to inform me that it does not work. It puzzled me and I used Wire Shark network analyser to find an IGMP protocol based beacon running over it. Now this poor PC is an ordinary desktop and was never intended to use protocols like IGMP that contacts ICANN, it is even more curious to find that firewall that comes free with Windows Vista actually will never block this IGMP protocol because VISTA does not expect home users to use IGMP protocol. Anyway, I reinstalled everything and in a couple of days the guys were back complaining that system no longer boots and this time I found out that system is in actually in halt state, the CPU fan is running and everything is fine but system just does not reach POST screen. I cleared CMOS and reached BIOS setup. I enabled the option to not to halt on any error in BIOS and viola the system was up and running in no time. I wish the troubled ended there but the guys came back after couple of weeks with the usual trouble that system dose not work. I cleared the CMOS and again reached the BIOS setup and disabled the USB controller and hey presto the system is online again although no USB hardware can be used over it. Enable the USB controller and bang everything goes down again.
    This IGMP beacon seems to be platform independent because I had installed windows/linux on the system but it does not seem to go away even after formatting the hard drive and zeroing/clearing every sector. The beacon just gives away the identity of the system on web and then the malware writer finds out what I have done to fix the system and then he moves on to improve the malware.
    All right, MSI guys can always point and tell me that TPM module option was there and it would have avoided this malware attack on motherboard.
    Now, I love the MSI idea of taking the back up of BIOS but I wish they can give a similar kind of option for firmware also.
    I personally believe the system is toasted but any update to fix this trouble will be great.
    I "guess" malware author has reprogrammed the south bridge of the motherboard because thats where the USB controller is located. I wonder why the option of reprogramming ASICs is there on the motherboard. I wish there was some kind of jumper to make these chips read only and stop these kind of destructive online attacks.
    That was long email, if you made it to the end then thanks a lot for your time and patience. Have some coffee and have a great day.
    Ciao,
    protob
    PS: The TOSHIBA (Linux) and Sony (VISTA) laptops that I am using right now seems to have caught the same malware. This is MSIs great opportunity to improve the hardware+marketing and take over the market. :-)

  • MSI DR8-A2 Wont write 8x -R medias

    Hi
    I recently bought a MSI DR8-A2 DVD writer, in order to write with 8x on DVD's and not just 4x, i even bought the writer in a foreign country in order to get the A2 model and not just the DR8-A model
    After reading the support media list for my drive, i was under the impression that my writer would be able to write 8x on the quality media Datasafe Datawrite Classic DVD-R 8x (the grey ones) (among other things i red the review here http://www.dvd-recordable.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=85) since they also produce the ritek medias
    however when writing 8x to the medias, they are almost unusable, the acess times are enormous, and often it cant even gain acess to folder with more than 100 files, it just freezes until the dvd has been taken out, and when i backup dvd-movies normal dvd players cant play the dvd, nor can my DVD-ROM or the DR8-A2 dirve for that matter
    these errors are typical when you burn a cd on too high a rate, say you try to write 40x on a 1-24x cd-r, therefore i assume that the problem is the same here with the dvd's
    in support of this theory i have no problems, whatsoever, writing 4x on the very same Datawrite medias, resulting in a perfect access time for the dvds, and the ability to play it on even old dvd-drives
    Is it really true, that one of the most reputable DVD-media brands aren't supported by this writer, in that case i fear i made the wrong buy, since the specific medias of the supported-media-list are impossible to procure where i come from

    Is this supposed to be an official forum for MSI ... nothing ever happends here, and only half of the posts are answered, i've had tonnes of problem with this drive as of now, and if this is supposed to be the "helpline" for as big a company as MSI, then it has turned out to be as disappointing as the drive itself, i'm not asking for a lot, just a simple answer to my question

  • MEGA 865 Deluxe with MSI DR8-A 8x8 DVD±R/±RW Writer

    Hi everyone,
    I am just about to put this box together, please advice..
    Heard any compatibility issue on this one? IE, ejecting problems or loosing functionality in PC or HIFI mode? or any issues at all....
    MEGA 865 Deluxe with MSI DR8-A 8x8 DVD±R/±RW Writer
    It will be a bummer if I go put this together and it doesnt work properly. That will be money down the tube.
    Thanx.

    I have the same box and optical device. I have yet to get an audio CD to play completely through in HiFi mode. It will play for 3 to five minutes and then quits, LCD reads No Disk. I can get it to start up again with no problems but it only plays a few minutes at a time.  It works fine in PC mode both in playing Audio CD's and DVDs so I am guessing that my problem lies in Hi Fi circuitry/or wires. I believe you should be able to use the 865 in Hi Fi mode without O/S, Memory, or even a CPU. Good luck.

  • Request new BIOS for MSI R9 270 GAMING 2GB

    Hi there, I use W7SP1 with a Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 mobo and the 13.12 drivers(14.4 suffer from very high OpenCL to Direct3D interop lag unfortunately, which is a showstopper with madVR) and I just bought this board with the exact same BIOS version number as on this link: techpowerup (.com)/vgabios/149707/msi-r9270-2048-131106.html
    It's fairly silent under load and I'm happy with that, but when idle the fans seem hardlocked to 1040 rpm
    Whatever fan percentage higher than 18% does increase the fan rpm speed, but anything lower still gives 1040 rpm.......what is the point to cool the GPU down to 28°C when its TJmax is 95°C? I would like to drop the fans speed when idle to maybe 700/800rpm and get the GPU to reach 40°C or so?
    I run a SSD with a 350rpm oversized CPU fan, a passive PSU and several oversized case fans that also run very slowly, those 1040rpm are killing me....I used to own a VTX3D Vchamp HD7850 that allowed me to make my own custom fan speed curve in Afterburner: dead-silent when idle and slowly ramped up under load, perfect
    Of course its cooler was a joke compared to your TF4 but you can see that Asus are now releasing graphic cards that are semi-passive with their fans shutting off until the GPU reaches 65°C, it makes no sense to me to use the TF4 at 1040 rpm when idle(and even more so on the 70W TDP GTX750Ti).
    Long story short, I would really appreciate an unlocked BIOS please so I could build my own fan speed curve in Afterburner as I used to. I do plan on buying the future Maxwell's(a twice faster 750Ti would be awesome), I dearly hope that you will reevaluate your TF4 fan speed curves because otherwise I would more than likely buy a semi-passive Asus next time. Talk about wasted potential
    I guess you hardlocked it so dumb ppl wouldn't set the fans to a fixed very low speed and toast the board, but posting an unlocked BIOS on your forum that's aimed at power users is just showing that you care. I know EVGA did post this kind of BIOS updates recently and you polished the TF4 cooler to such extents that it's truly a crying shame to be stuck at 1040 rpm and 28°C when idle
    There is no question that TF4 is extremely effective under load with a 150W TDP GPU, but you can see that the 270X Powercolor board is quieter when idle in this comparison: tomshardware (.com)/reviews/radeon-r9-270-benchmark-review,3769-5.html
    Hope you can help, I will gladly spread the word on HTPC forums because this board is close to perfection when using madVR.
    Thank you very much in advance

    OK thanks for the reply, but the 18% cap seems BIOS based...I have a hard time believing that they can't run any lower than 1040 rpm
    Are you a mod? Working for MSI? This looks like a wild guess more than an official reply if you don't mind me saying.
    For the record, that VTX3D board I mentioned in my previous PM was able to go down to 1%.
    I would fix it myself but there are no BIOS editors for the R9 serie apparently....MSI simply capped the lowest PWM value: tpucdn dot com/rbe/RBE_Fan.png
    Whatever way their speed's being throttled(PWM or voltage), they must be able to go slower than that. I could provide you links but EVGA did make clear that they capped the lowest speed of the fans on some of their boards so dumb users wouldn't fry them but they were entirely able to release unlocked BIOS binaries.
    At this point I could either return it or unplug its fans and slap a 600rpm 140mm fan onto the board using zip ties.......it's just amazing that MSI managed to ultimately fail on such a detail. All the work put into the TF4 cooler goes down the drain
    flobelix seems able to help, I hope he'll chime in: forum-en.msi dot com/index.php?topic=180521

    Fan controller actually can control the fans, and the GPU gets less hot

  • MSI DR8-A: "Could not perform end of Disc-at-Once"

    I'm using Nero Burning ROM 6; writing a data DVD to Memorex 4x DVD+R Media.
    I receive the following errors at the end of the burn process:
    Invalid Field in Command
    Could not perform end of Disc-at-Once
    Nero doesn't seem to allow me to change the write method to something other than Disc-at-Once.
    Device Manager shows: "ATAPI DVD RW 8XMax"
    Had no trouble using HD-BURN with my Memorex CD-R's
    Any suggestions?

    the link you provided lists the DR8-A as a "supported" drive... it's the 4th one from the top... DVD+/-R/RW8XMAX
    and i've had no problem burning CD-R's with my MSI drive... i've come to the theory that i'm having issues burning to DVD+Rs because I'm using Memorex DVD+Rs... which are not on MSI's list of supported media for the DR8-A... I've got some Ritek discs on order, and will report back my findings when they arrive.
    I'm also going to download the most recent updates for Nero 6 for shits and giggles.
    My current version of Nero is 6.0.0.0, and the most recent update is version 6.3.1.6
    also, in my first post, i said that i had no problems burning to Memorex CD-Rs... but they are actually Maxell CD-Rs...

  • Msi Dr8-a Won't Flash

    Hi there,
    ive bought this MSI DR8-A burner.
    Im having problems trying to flash it with the 150d src.bin file
    When i try to flash it with the file in the DOS mode it keeps telling me that its the wrong file for the drive,
    The live update does not work with my Epox board.
    Yet it is the the correct file .
    Im trying to use princo discs but the drive will not reconise the discs.
    If anyone has got any idea what the hell is going on  it would be much appreciated if you could let me now whats going on
    thanks to all

    Same problem here (except I've got an ASUS mboard)
    I've got a problem with my DR8A failing to write to Imation DVD+R (error about invalid SCSI command when finalising disks) so I thought I'd update my firmware to 150D (Currently its 130). However when I try in DOS I get a message saying this file is not intended for this drive. Also the LiveUpdate program doesn't even show any possible updates for the drive, it looks like it'll only update graphic card bios/drivers and motherboards. Any tips or am I doing something stupid?
    I even tried unplugging all other SATA/IDE devices except for the DR8A before flashing the drive with no success.

  • How to check the firmware version of my MSI DR8-A

    Hi guys,
    How do I check the firmware version of my DVD writer MSI DR8-A ?
    I just bought this DVD writer, burned a DVD using a Melody DVD disc.
    And have problem reading it.
    Does it have anything to do with the firmware version?
    Is there a list of recommended DVD disc to be used with this burner ?
    Thanks a lot !!!

    Click Start, then Run and then type msinfo32.
    When the box pops up it'll have the options for your listed components. Open this tree and find your DVD-RW. To the right it will list your firmware for this drive.
    I do not know of any problems with these drives and certain media, but then again I haven't used any yet as I've only just got the drive. Don't scare me.

    Nice work. Nice Images.
    What DDR3 Kingston memory ?GB. @ 1800MHz < 2000MHz ?
    How many people will OC their CPU to 5GHz ?
    I Think you are an Extreme OverClocker. Will you be testing 6970 , 6990 also?
    I have the MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 OC edition.
    my scores 3DMark 11 - P3814, 3DMark 06 - 17409, 3Dmark Vantage - P11184.
    and your Scores indicate like 60% improvement over mine.
    Oh! surprised you did not run/list your 3DMark 11 since it came packaged with your HD6950.
    True the HD 6870 is mid-level and the HD 6950 / 6970 are highend cards which also shows a significant difference
    in Performance.
     Spend $269 USD (Price at Newegg.com) for MSI R6870 Twin Frozr II Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 OC
      or $414 USD  MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II 2048MB GDDR5 OC which only know is available in UK link:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-113-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752
    Not yet sold in USA (I have not been able to locate) since MSI HD 6950 regular unit sells for $299 (price at Newegg.com) add probably $40 for TF II-OC unit once released.
     For $270 vs $340 a $70 difference the better buy would be MSI ATI Radeon HD 6950 Twin FrozR II 2048MB GDDR5 OC.
    Note: I would not purchase the item from UK if ya live in the USA when you have to add S&H plus sales tax looking at $500. ouch!
     I Appreciate the info/review and Thankyou for posting it.

  • MSI DR8 not found after flashing MB BIOS

    Okay alll, I have a problem. Everything was working fine for me, then I went along and upgraded (via Live Update) to the new 1.40 BIOS for my K8TNeo-FISR2 MB. Now I'm having issues with my DVD burner (MSI DR8). Here's what happens:
    After I reset my CMOS settings by jumping JBAT1, I go in to my Standard CMOS Features, and listed as the Primary IDE device (it's the only IDE device I have) is ATAPI DVD/CD 8x. That's great, what it should be. So, I go in and edit my boot order so that it will boot from my RAID set and make a few other changes (set the time, disable the Promise RAID controller, disbale QuickBoot and the LOGO page because I'm trying to troubleshoot), Save and Exit. It boots up into Windows XP (though it takes a lot longer now than before I upgraded the BIOS), but XP does not see the DVD drive. So, I shut down and go into Setup and now there is no Primary IDE Device found. If I manually set it to CD/DVD I lock up right after it performs the memory test.
    I tried backing down to the 1.2 verison of the BIOS which I was running before but that didn't help at all. ANY ideas on what is going on here? I did *NOT* flash the DVD firmware, so that shouldn't be the issue. What really trips me up is the fact that it finds it correctly upon resetting the CMOS.
    Please help!
    Bob

    At a idle my cpu with this board and HT enabled, 3.06 P4 runs around 50C but under heavier load it will get to 60C or so. I hope this doesnt shorten its life. However I have been overclocking my P4 to 3381.54 (Reported from WCPUID) and seem to be VERY VERY stable with conventional cooling. I am using an Thermaltake Volcano cpu fan on the "Medium" setting. Which is kind of loud. Once I change it to "Low" it wont cool as well and the temp rises. I would like to know the "recommended" temp for a P4 but cant find a DECENT answer. Even from:
    http://support.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/thermal.htm#Specifications
    it doesnt say from X to X should be ok. Thats what I really need to know. I am now thinking about going to watercooling to keep this chip in check, get higher speeds and lower noise. Although the case is full now as it is with 2 DVD burners, a CDR burner, 6 Hard Drives and 3 PCI slots full!

Maybe you are looking for
