HCLK bios option on msi boards

Hi,
I have the msi kt7pro2, and it has that option...what does it mean?, is something related to sinchronization with fsb and memory timmings?
thanks in advance :P

That would only be if you had the fsb for the processor set @ 133.
My processor fsb is @ 133 and my PC2100 is set @ Hclk + 33 to give me 333 for DDR memory.
Your options for what Hclk can be is dependent on what you set the processor clock speed to. If you only set it to 100fsb, then you will only have an option to set memory to 100 (Hclk) or 133 (Hclk + 33).
OKay i see basicly Hclk + 33 would over clock your pc2100 266mhz to 333mhz

  • Is is the BIOS or the system board?

    Hi.  I have a pc manufactued by a deceased company named Quantex.  The pc has a MSI MS-6199VA
    system board with W6199VAFD v3.3 121799 Bios, an Intel P6C (Coppermine) Pentium III 733Mhz
    processor and a VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset.
    I have been having some trouble with the pc over the last month.  It has an nVidia GeForce 256 video
    card and around the middle of October I updated my install of Norton SystemWorks from NSW 2002 to
    NSW 2003 as well as updating the nVidia drivers to the latest version (40.72).  Things have not been the
    same since.  I started getting random system freezes and 0D or 0E Fata Exceptions as Windows 98SE
    was starting to initialize and display the desktop and Windows signon.  I was always able to restart in
    Safe Mode, but not always able to get around the Fatal Exception in normal mode.
    Over the course of the next month, the pc never really attained stability.  Sometimes it ran fine for a while,
    then would just freeze.  I started backing up more often and got PowerQuest Drive Image for disaster
    recovery purposes.  I already had a tape drive, but sometimes the tape backup software would
    freeze/stop functioning in the middle of a backup.
    I then got a larger hard drive, so that I do Drive Image backups to HDD rather than CD-RW.  I got an
    ATA-100 80 Gb drive but did not yet install it.
    This past week I checked your website to see if I could find any additional information about my BIOS
    and if it would support the new hard drive.  I saw that I was on v3.3 and that you have v3.5.  It also
    appeared to me that v3.5 was needed for the new drive.  It also seemed to me that my issues could be
    hardware (ie, system board) related.
    Anyway,  I used your v3.5 BIOS update utility to backup my existing BIOS.  Double checked my system
    board and chipset and then tried the v3.5 update.  The flash update did not write completely (out of the
    two full rows of white progress boxes around 6 of them were blue).  I restored the original bios and
    regained some function.  However, I can no longer even get through the CMOS setup without the pc
    freezing.  
    I have reseated all cards and the processor as well as trying only one memory chip at a time.  Nothing
    has changed the behavior.  I even reflashed the v3.5 BIOS, this time with a clean update (all white
    progress boxes).  Still no stability.
    I am just looking for some advice.  It my system board gone?  Was it going or did I destroy it with the bios
    update?  Since my original equipment manufacter is no longer in business I have nowhere to go for
    hardware support.  Is it possible to find a replacement system board or better to cut my losses and get a
    new pc.  I am fairly pc competent but not to the point where I would swap out a system board on my own.
    Vic

    On Friday I decided to take everything apart; including removing the system board and then put it all back together.  Believe it or not, without any repairs since I last replied in this forum, my pc is now somewhat revived.  It appears as though my problem might have been that the processor was not completely seated in the slot.  Does that make sense?  The freezing during CMOS setup or OS startup has completely disappeared.
    There are still some stability problems and there also appears to be a BIOS issue.
    I think the stability problems are from corrupt OS files (Win98 SE) and I am thinking the only recovery for that is to reinstall.  Nothing like a perfect opportunity to move this hardware to Windows 2000.
    Now for the BIOS question.  This board is an MS-6199VA.  The BIOS is W6199VMS v3.5 100200 with BIOS ID of 01/01/2000-692-596-W977-2A6LGM4BC-00.  At the tail end of the BIOS startup I get the following..
    CMOS Checksum error - Defaults loaded.
    Warning! CPU has been changed.
    Please re-enter CPU settings in the CMOS setup and   remember to save before quit.
    Press F1 to continue or DEL to enter CMOS setup
    I have gone through all the CMOS setup options, set them, changed some; like disabling a serial port and setting up a power on password, and save them.  Yet I still get this message every time.
    Other than halting the startup until I press F1 or DEL there seems to be no other negatives.  Am I missing something or is there a storm coming?

  • Cant see or control case fans on MSI board

    I just upgraded my PC to Devils Canyon and h87-g41 pc mate. Everything is working fine... except i cant see my installed case fans and they are running on max (i assume) and making a lot of noise.
    The very old board i upgraded from had option in bios for automatic fan control under overclocking (if i remember correctly). I set it to automatic and case fans were controled based on temperatures.
    But the new msi board cant detect them correctly. SPeedfan and cpuid hwmonitor does not show them, and they are not show in bios. And i cant seem to find any settings for case fans.
    Only fan it detects is the aux fan at the back of the fan and controls it automatically.
    I used Live Updater and did total install, so i should have all the drivers.
    I plugged them in right, used the pins and not the molex.

    On your board, CPUfan1, CPUfan2, and Sysfan1, are the only fan headers that are setup for sensing, the other two are 3 pin headers and very likely have no sensor on them.... as far as BIOS or any software are concerned, they simply are not there, if you need them controlled, you might have to buy a fan controller.
    You could plug one of your case fans into CPUfan2, if that header is not being used, and then you would have full sensing and control of it.

  • How can I flash the bios of a MSI kt3 ultra2 without a floppy drive?

    How can I flash the bios of a MSI kt3 ultra2 without a floppy drive?
    I used the msi live update software to download the bios update programe...when I run it gives 2 options dos and windows
    but the windows option is greyed out and the dos option requires a floppy drive (mine does not work)..what can I do?

    I can tell you what you need to do but unfortunately - not how to do all of it.
    You will need to make a bootable CD with the neccessary files on it .- Somewhere on the www you should be able to find the instructions. I have flashed from a CD   with no problems on a K7S5A board . The CD image was available as a complete download and just needed burning to the CD  so - apart from the obvious ( BIOS file , BIOS installer ,command.com,msdos .sys, io.sys)I don't know what else might  be needed on the CD- unfortunately the disk I made is long gone.
    I'm sure a search will find what you need to know.
    Once you have the disk -just insert in CD Drive - restart and follow the instructions.

  • MOVED: Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
    Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

    If you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
    Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
    I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs.

  • Upgrading the BIOS on an MSI x58 Pro

    My Mum's Cyberpower i7-920 machine with MSI x58 Pro motherboard periodically fails to boot with the error that there is no boot device.
    I figured out a few hacks/workarounds for this, but as it is my Mum's machine, and I'm not always around to help out, I need a better solution.
    I posted on the Cyberpower forums and they said: 'Upgrading to the latest BIOS can sometime cure niggly problems lke this on MSI boards.'
    As I have never needed to mess around much with the BIOS before, I would like to get some input here as to what people think of this suggestion. Also what is the latest version of the BIOS for the MSI x58 Pro? Any recommendations on the easiest way to do this?
    Thanks very much.

    Okay, in that case a BIOS Update is probably worth a shot.  As said before, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and take the latest BIOS Version from this site:  http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1744  [v8.D].

  • Ati card, msi board, kingston ram, blank screen at reboot.

    i see an awful lot of listings in this forum for the problem of screen remaining blank after reboot.
    i also see the psu being blamed and yet it has almost never solved the issue for people.
    there is a problem and there is no solution right?
    all my components are fine, they are up to 'spec' yet they dont work, why?
    i am fed up with opening my pc to tweak it, reset cmos, unplug drives, check power supply. at this rate i am going to fry something. you cant keep doing these things without f'ing something up, its messing with probabilities. a half dozen times? fine. dozens? youre screwed.
    there is something going on with the mb. i see others claim all boards with that chipset have issues. so what? it is still an MSI issue since i have an MSI board.
    i set everything up according to instructions and i am screwed. MSI lied to me and to you.
    the board does not run as it claims. i can not run a chip at its normal speed with a graphics card it should. again why? nothing is oc'd, all temps are norma, even with noting but mb, vid card and ram, its screwed.
    go ahead and blame my temps, blame my psu, blame ati but at the end i have an MSI board that does not perform as sold.
    i also see a lot of mention of previos bios versions working better. again seems like MSI is screwing around with us. i have so many spare parts from trying to get this board to run well that i can build another pc. it will NOT be MSI.

    Same thread in the bios section already so this one is closed.

  • KT4VL bios options?

    OK, Thinking about getting this board.  KT4VL
    Does NE1 know what the bios options are for voltage, FSB and multiplier?  Are they for sure the same as the KT4 Ultra or are they different?
    Thanks

    In the KT4VL manual, I found the following:
    Overclocking:
    This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.
    However, please make sure your components are able to toler-ate
    such abnormal setting, while doing overclocking. Any at-tempt
    to operate beyond product specifications is not
    recommended. We do not guarantee the damages or risks
    caused by inadequate operation or beyond product
    specifications."
    CPU FSB Clock
    This item allows you to select the CPU Front Side Bus clock frequency (in
    MHz) and overclock the processor by adjusting the FSB clock to a higher
    frequency. Select the number between 100~280 for needed frequency.
    CPU Ratio/Vcore (V)
    The settings are used to adjust the CPU clock multiplier (ratio) and CPU
    corevoltage (Vcore). These settings offer users a tool to overclock the system.
    DDR Voltage (V)
    Adjusting the DDR voltage can increase the DDR speed. Any changes made
    to this setting may cause a stability issue, so changing the DDR voltage for
    long-term purpose is NOT recommended.
    Termination Vol (V)
    The settings are used to adjust the termination voltage. Setting options:
    Auto, 1.27, 1.29.
    AGP Voltage (V)
    AGP voltage is adjustable in the field, allowing you to increase the perfor-mance
    of your AGP display card when overclocking, but the stability may be
    affected. Setting options: Auto, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8.
    SDRAM Frequency
    Use this item to configure the clock frequency of the installed SDRAM.
    Settings options: 200MHz, 266MHz, 333MHz, 400MHz, Auto.
    SDRAM CAS# Latency
    This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts
    a read command after receiving it. Settings: 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.0 (clocks).
    2 (clocks) increases the system performance the most while 3 (clocks)
    provides the most stable performance.
    Load High Performance OverClocking feature is there too...
    So it seems this board has the required bios features for some decent overclocking...You could also put a fan on the northbridge...
    I bought that board and will compare it with my ultra-aru and keep the winner
    This KT4VL is at a killer price of $85 in the US right now - can't get a better deal with audio 6ch and ethernet 10/100 onboard

  • Extra SDRAM onto MSI board problem

    Ok, this is a really wierd problem.
    I am running an intel celeron 1200, on one of the older MSI other boards ( I cannot remember what the model is but i will check).  It has 3PCI slots, NO AGP, and an ISA slot. I had 256 SDRAM put onto the machine and 8 Meg on board video. Recently, i put in a Hercules Kyro, 64 Meg PCI 3D Prophet graphics card in to bump up the performance.  It worked like a dream.
    But then, yesterday, i got some old SDRAM from an old mate to further bump up the memory. So i slot in another 256 SDRAM (exact same brand and company) into the remaining slot (2 slots in total) (The main board can take up to a gig or RAM)
    The system detects the extra memory. Start up shows 512+8 meg on board video
    But,  this problem keeps coming up
    1) My programs runs slower than it does with a 256 SDRAM only
    2) DirectX cannot be detected by my graphics card (Hence, ALL my games cannot work!)
    3) Direct3D draw begins fails (Some GENERIC error)
    What i did was to remove the SDRAM as i thought it was the ram. But it was not. The SDRAM works fine when it is used ONLY in either one of the slots. When i only used a 256 stick independently on either slot, it works fine. But when i used it TOGETHER, it resumes the problem.
    Anyone here can help ? I had 3 sleepless nights trying to fix it.
    Btw, it is running on WinXP

    is it a version 5
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=21&kind=1
    and uses a version 5 bios

    did you uninstall the onboards drivers

    that never hurts either

  • Mentioning non MSI boards

    I saw that a recent post mentioning DFI boards was frozen. I came to MSI after a failed upgrade using an Abit motherboard. I ended up using all the components which wouldn't work together on the abit board on the MSI board without any problems. I felt that other Abit users having the same problem as me, and being told on the Abit forum to try swapping every component they had fitted, should be aware of my experience with swapping to the MSI.
    Equally if MSI should ever produce a lemon of a product which is easily fixed by swapping the board for a DFI or Abit, then those poor suffering MSI users should be aware of it.
    After all shouldn't potential Neo4 SLI users be made aware that MSI have cocked up the power requirements WRT -5v, and that other makes of boards with on board sound may well work without having to hunt down a hybrid 20/24 PSU?
    Of course any such post should avoid making deflammatory comments about MSI.
    And what MSI may lose due to truthfully negative posts here will be made up for posts on other companies sites recommeding MSI boards.

    Point taken, however it was the context that helped me make the decision to lock it. I know enough, having been a member of this forum for at least three years, that threads posted in that context can, and do, become inflammatory, either towards MSI or other users.
    As for your second and third sentence, I agree that documentation of issues with said product should be available, however, I, and my fellow mods may agree that the way the information is expressed can be a sensitive issue.
    As far as the power issue with the Diamond board, I agree that was likely a poor decision on MSI's part, but it is a different approach to sound compared to other boards available of that caliber and genre, you could even go as far as saying that the board itself is a hybrid. And yes, user should be made aware of the requirements, but I do not condone telling someone to buy a competitors product in this forum. If you have the burning desire to do so, out of respect, do so indirectly. We have PM's, and e-mail options here.
    As for the last sentence, I agree, however, it does not change the process or standards I follow, in making my decision to lock the thread.

  • MSI Boards incompatible with 3COM 3CR990SVR97

    So after retiring my KT3 Ultra2 i'm now running the KT6 Delta and i wanted to use my High End Server NIC but i have extreme bootup probs when this card is installed. Tested in KT3 U2, KT3V and KT6 Delta the System wont start or need a long time until monitor goes active and shows boot screen. But in ABIT BE6 and EPOX 8K5A2+ the NIC works properly and i have two cards and the prob remains with both of them. It would be nice if anyone who can get this NIC could test if the problem is MSI related, i can remember the time where ASUS graphicscards wont work with AGP4x on MSI Boards :D
    p.s. if system is running the card works without any problems and restarts are normal but if power is cut see above :O

    The prob has nothing to do with drivers.
    Problem is before bios Init  all LED's on Front of the Tower are blinking and D-Bracket shows early Chipset ... then after a minute the PC resets itself and then it runs without probs. I can restart the whole system and it will run without these boot errors but if i disconnect the powercord the same procedure starts again, but the NIC works without probs i can use LAN, DSL or whatever but i don't want to wait a minute until the system does anything .
    on KT6 and KT3 the same prob.
    It would be great if someone were able to organize such a NIC and could test it on another MSI Board.

  • Multiple Issues with the MSI board...

    This is my first experience with the MSI board and so far its not very smooth... I have this MSI NEO 2 standard board My specs are
    P4 2.8C
    256 MB (single module) DDR 400 RAM. (TWIN MOS)
    Geforce Ti4200..
    80 GB Maxtor SATA
    FAX
    CD-ROM
    WIth WINDOWS XP HOME Edition..
    i have done no overclocking and the problems are..
    1. First of all it takes lot of time to show the first screen... like the vga card screen comes after 4 seconds.
    2. Some time i press the power button and when the system is detecting the hard disk and CDROM it gives error message like DRAM timings are too tight. i have check the BIOS setting and everything is normal and there is no overclocking and RAM is rated to run at 400 MHz.. although not a great brand but not a bad one either..
    3. Sometime just before loading the operating system it gives an error message that No boot sector found.. insert a Bootable floppy or CDROM.. and when i restart it start going on as usual..
    So wot are the causes of these problem .. i think mainboard is the main culprit... i have scanned my system with 2 anti virus and there is no virus..
    any suggestions..?
    Thanks..

  • BIOS chip for MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)

    Is it possible to get a BIOS chip for this motherboard?
    I've got this motherboard from a friend. He wanted to flash the BIOS but it failed. The board was fine before the flash but now it can't do anything anymore. It's just the BIOS that's bad.
    The chip seems to be relatively easy to remove. I would like to solder on a new one. 
    Someone who can help me out? Thanks!!!

    Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite.  Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
    Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
    You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
    Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
    Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
    You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

  • Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

    hello, I need help ....
    A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
    The characteristics of my pc are:
    - MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
    - 3870K Processor A-8
    - 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
    - Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
    - Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK

  • Where are the USB drivers for my MSI board??

    Got a new MSI board- VIA KM266 Pro + 8237 Chipset Based. I installed my new AMD 2300+, WIN XP, etc. I have a USB printer. Got everything installed, printed a test page, and then a document. Everything fine. THEN, I go to use my printer a few days later and it says "Printer not responding". So I troubleshoot, and then go into Device Manager and notice there are no USB devices installed. The new MSI board has 4 USB ports on it. The CD that came with the board has no USB drivers on it (I checked). WIN XP has no USB drivers. What is going on? How do I get the USB ports to work? Am I looking at it all wrong? Appreciate any help out there!
