I need help DDR voltage and latencies (K8N Diamond Plus)

I noticed my DDR voltage was incorrect in the bios and I don't know what "Auto" is doing with my timings. I have 2GB of Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 DDR400 Memory installed on DIMM1 and DIMM2 of my K8N Diamond Plus board.
So far I've made the following changes (as my RAM's specs indicate) in the BIOS but I'm new to this (first build).
DDR Voltage 2.75V
CAS  2.0
tRCD 3
tRP   3
tRAS 6
I left everything else at it's default setting. Are there any other changes I should make?

I'm having an issue with the 1.10 BIOS that is preventing me from manualy setting the timings...The problem I'm having right now is deciding what BIOS to install and where to download it. Perhaps you could help me with that?
With pleasure!  I had the same problem with the v1.10 BIOS, as did another member here.  I flashed BACK to the v1.0 BIOS (make sure to use the command line switched (just run the batch file)) and was able to set timings, and then I flashed directly to the 3.0A BIOS and was able to adjust timings still.  See my old thread here.
For my success (I don't know if any or all of these influenced it, but I'm just happy it works) in flashing I did the following:
Download the 1.0 (original) and 3.0A (latest "official") BIOS images from MSI's support site.
Downloaded the DrDos BIOS flash bootable ISO CD image from bootdisk.com
Used my ISO software to add the BIOS image files onto the ISO image.
Burned the ISO to CD.
Booted from the CD
Flashed to 1.0
Cut Power (flipped PSU switch in back), held down the CMOS reset switch button on the mobo and the power button for 45 seconds.
Powered up, set "Optimized Defaults" and set memory voltage to 2.75v and rebooted.
Set all "normal" BIOS parameters (boot devices, et al).
Windows (x64) loaded with no issues, Everest reported timings appropriately
Did the same procedure for the 3.0A BIOS, with similar success.

Are you running just one set of TWINX2048-3200C2's?
Just one pair.  I fiddled with the CR and the only result was with the single known good DIMM my latency got slightly slower (like a 5ns drop), but still no love with 2 DIMMS.  I think it is just dead.  But this is not my story (at least not in this thread)...this is memticvirus's story.

  • Water cooling and the K8N Diamond Plus...

    I have a water cooled DFI mobo atm and I want to change it to the K8N Diamond Plus and I noticed that the board has a heat pipe on the northchip and on some other component. My question is this; I want to put a water block on the northchip but I don't know if I can. Can I safely remove the heat pipe setup to put a water block on the north chip and if I do what about the other component that the heatpipe was covering? I hope I wasn't to confusing in the explanation.

    Hello !!
    You will need two Waterblocks, one for the north- second one for the southbridge.
    There should be no Problems mounting the blocks if the mounting holes fit the mainboard.
    You can easily remove the Heatpipe. You have to squeeze those nipples togehter tha are on the backside of the board. You can do it manually but you can also use a cylindric tool to squeeze them together. I cut a plastic pen i the half, and pushed it on those mounting latches carefully.
          ___|\        half pen
    latch___          <----
              |/      ___________
    After this procedure the Heatpipe is only held from the thermal grease on the chipset.

  • K8N Diamond Plus boot problems

    I just built a new computer and it was working fine for about a month.  Then one morning when I started it up it wouldn't turn on.  The front LED's turn on, and the fans all start, but nothing ever shows up on the screen.  The set of four lights on the back show  R R
                                                                                                    G G
    Nothing has changed since the pc was working fine.  I haven't changed any bios settings or added any hardware or software.  I did try resetting the bios using the CMOS jumper, but this didn't change anything.  The lights on the back show that it is initializing ide drivers, but in the manual it also shows that it is one of the last steps in the start-up process, so i would think that the memory check, processor count, msi logo ect. should appear on the screen like it normally does.  However, the LED that blinks when the hard drive is active never lights up, but when i open the case and feel the hard drive i can feel it vibrating like it is functioning properly.  And if it is a hardrive failure, then shouldn't the bios still start up and show up on the monitor?  I have heard that many weird problems can be attributed to the psu, but I have a 500w Antec Smartpower 2.0, which is a pretty reliable psu from what i've heard.  Any help or suggestions would be welcome.  Also, how would i test individual components to find out what is causing the problem?  I think since everything is within a couple of months old i should be able to get replacements.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    You guys are awesome!  Thanks a bunch for the info on ram, I feel like I understand it better and I looked and found all the stuff in the bios that you guys were talking about.  I'm downloading speedfan currently and will go install it on my other computer.  I tried swapping the sticks of memory, but i ran into the same problem i did before.  So i'm assuming that i can safely say one stick is faulty right?  And do any of you guys have any experience trying to get replacement memory from crucial?  I'll have to go poke around their website also.  Well, thank you all so much for all of your help.  This is my first home built pc and i'm trying to learn alot about them.  Once everything is running properly i may try a little overclocking, but i'd like to get everything running smoothly first.  Just out of curiosity, what would make a stick of ram go bad like that?  It was only a month old, and i thought crucial xms was pretty good ram.  Is it not? or did i just get unlucky?
           Thanks a ton for all the answers, this forum is the most helpful one i've ever seen.  thanks!
    Maybe that you're unlucky to get those faulty RAM. Crucial RAM is not bad if you get the better performance if you're ocing your PC if or else get the value RAM if you don't oced.

  • Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

    Hi,
    I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
    Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
    This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
    Possible errors include:
    Bad gateway URL
    Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
    Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

    Do you have integration configured between the two systems?  It sounds like you don't from the error.  Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working.  If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • HT1338 Need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X 10.6.5 to the latest Mountain Lion Software...thanx John

    I need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X to Mountain Lion.....Thanx....Jay

    First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
    This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
    Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
    Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
    Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    OH and to be safe BEFORE you install backup your current system to an external drive !

  • This is a second try to get help. I need help to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop cc 2014

    Bridge is not working well, I need to reinstall Photoshop cc 2014 .  Someone from Communities was suppose to help me. 

    Hi John,
    I used the chat "Creative chat support"  this afternoon at around 14:40
    and the person, Karthik M , gave me a link to Technical Support.  I
    guess he could not help me, but he said he understood the issue.   With
    the link "Help, Adobe Installation problems",   I will follow the
    instructions  to clean ps cc2014 with CCleaner and reinstall the app.  
    It looks quite complicated  but I will give it a try and hopefully succeed.
    You have to understand when reading my previous messages, the issue is
    no longer "Retreiving Photoshop CC" but reinstalling Phoshop 2014 to try
    to repair Bridge.
    Thanks for caring,
    Suzanne Lanthier

    Hi srinivas.L
    It is simple, here is some sample code. You must use getbykey to get the document. Then once you got it you can make whatever changes you need. Then update it. where i have oOrder.Update() you can have oOrder.cancel
    Dim oOrder As SAPbobsCOM.Documents
            oOrder = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
            If oOrder.GetByKey(530) Then
                oOrder.Lines.SetCurrentLine(1)
                oOrder.Lines.WarehouseCode = "01"
                If oOrder.Update() <> 0 Then
                    MsgBox(oCompany.GetLastErrorDescription)
                End If
            Else
                MsgBox("Nothing found")
            End If
    Hope this helps
