I am a first time overclocker, I have spent countless hours online reading about how to do it, still cant find American Megatrends Bios as an example. Can anyone help me to overclock my system to a safe stable speed 3.6 or 3.8 maybe?
Any help here is appreciated, respectfully Offsmack

Hi offsmack. As the forum is for users of MSI products, I don't see any specific MSI hardware in your post. The moderators will probably lock this thread.

BIOS Overclocking, help please!

Hi people! I readed days ago a post where an user wrote a key combination to make this:
Lets supose that you are overclocking and you go too far, so the machine won't boot and you will have to reset BIOS.
This key combination allows you to enter BIOS when this happens, without losing any changes of the o'clocking!!! Awesome!
(I hate going too far and reset the BIOS and make all the settings again and again)
Any1 remembers the key combination??? I can't remember it and I can't find the post again! :(:(
It was something like Shift + F6...
Thanks! Help would be very apreciated! And like I say everytime, sorry for my english!!!

BIOS V1.6 Overclocking help pls!

Hi guys
I have a 875P Neo-FIS2R and since I upgraded my bios to V1.6 I have found the FSB of my P4 has been overclocked to 203Mhz from the standard 200Mhz. :(
I have also found that my graphics card has been overclocked. (A Geforce4 ti 4400 and the core is overclocked close to a Geforce4 ti 4600).
I can fix the FSB with core cell back to 200Mhz but this only lasts until the next restart. I have not found a way to fix the GPU ocing.
Btw I set the bios voltage of the AGP at 1.55V but on core cell it is always set to 1.6V when I reboot.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and does anyone know how to fix this problem or do we have to wait till the next bios is out (V1.7?)
Thanks for you help. :D

Hi ppl )
I no this is an old post but I know a few of us still have the problem of our GCs overclocked as well as our FSBs overclocked to 203Mhz by the new bios V1.6.
I have since e-mailed MSI technical support with this letter:
"Hello
I have recently purchased a 3Ghz 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4 and a MSI Neo2-FIS2R 875P motherboard. I noticed that when using core cell the FSB was automatically overclocked to 203MHz each time I loaded up. As I do not wish to overclock at the moment I turned the FSB down using the "-" button then pressed OK and then saved. Core cell would then read the correct 3Ghz (no overclocking).
However I found the P4 overclocked again after I restarted the next time. So I did the exact same with corecell and lowered the FSB to 200Mhz exactly so that it wasnt overclocked. I was sure I saved this setting with corecell and then I uninstalled core cell so it could no longer change this FSB setting.
However when I rebooted and checked the speed with the "Intel frequency ID Utility" the FSB was said to be 811Mhz so it was in fact 203Mhz again. I checked the CPU BUS CLOCK in the bios and it is set to 200Mhz. I then tried the default setting of 201Mhz with corecell with the same result after rebooting.
So basically how can I prevent this overclocking happening automatically. I have a MSI Neo2-FIS2R with a 875P chipset and bios version 1.6? I dont want to overclock because I want to keep the Intel P4 warrenty.
Another question: Does that MAT function that is available in V1.6 affect the Processor at all or only the RAM and will it void the warrenty of the P4 if run? It is currently set to SLOW."
soz for the long read but had to get everything in.
Now for the interesting part 8)
THIS IS MSI TECH SUPPORTS REPLY!!!!!:
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
There will be tolerance difference when the softwares detect the clock.
It's normal. It won't cause reliability nor stability problem.
Please feel free to let us know if you still have any further problem.
Best regards,
MSI Technical Support"
8o 8o 8o
Is anyone else shocked 8o by this response because MSI seems to be overclocking "cheating" and are happy to say that is only a tolerance in the clock meanwhile so many other users have experienced this as well so it definately isnt a tolerance difference.
Thanks would like your views on the matter

MSI P45 Neo3-FR..Overclocking help please !

Hi i have a MSI P45 Neo3-FR [v1.0] and have managed to update bios to latest version 1.5 i am having trouble finding my way around the bios in order to overclock. Previously i have owned asus boards and it was pretty straightforward but with this board i cannot seem to have full control over all adjustments i think i could adjust fsb and possibly memory ratio and timings but not Vcore and memory voltages as they are greyed out. On the asus boards you got a dropdown list 1.1v~1.8v etc but i cannot get this option with this board.
My memory is corsair [6400] with cpu-z it seems to have timings correct but voltage should be 1.9 my cpu is a E8200 core speed 2673x8 vcore 1.192v i have disabled speedstep [f4] and spread spectrum and the jumpers are set to 266mhz~333mhz.
Any advice on this much appreciated i don't know if there is a tutorial specific to the msi bios advanced settings and how to enable it or a discription of what msi call the voltages adjustments doesn't seem to be v.core...confused!
King regards all

Thanks for help people i have got a good overclock..well for me I got FSB to 400mhz so my processor was 3.2ghz and memory running at 800mhz with 1:1 ratio and voltage at 1.9.
I did try to go heigher but pc just re-booted 3 times then re-set to optimum i tried a bit more voltage for cpu but it still refused. Funny thing is when i re-did FSB to 400mhz again it booted and ran no bother i checked speed and cpu was again 3.2ghz but ram was 960mhz ... i forgot to re-set ratio back to 1:1 so my ram is running at 1920mhz instead of 1600 testing with prime but i would have thought if its stable i could push cpu further possibly as i know ram can handle a lot more than 800mhz. Is this correct ?

W510 bios update gone bad -- help please

Just went through a montly (+/-) update process through System Update.
Updated BIOS in my W510... along with a host of other things.. but from what I've
read i fear its the bios.
all went normally (as it always has).. machine rebooted after update.. stopped at the thinkpad
splash screen. Just hung there. I left it all day (figured it was doing something?) came back
at night, it was still hung.
tried to force reboot.. i got two beeps.. then three beeps.. nothing happened.
every time i pressed power button.. two beeps.. pause.. three beeps.
took out batt / restared .. no screen.. HD spins / fan spins / power light is on.. but machine
seems dead.
Anyone have any ideas whats going on? how to fix? was it the bios update? can it be rolled back?
Thanks in advance

Were you trying to use http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-74858 ???
If so, we bricked several machines at the beginning of April and asked Lenovo to remove the update. I see that hasn't been done. Maybe now they will.

To: MSI and American Megatrends

I have a MSI K9A Platinum (MS-7280). I just bought a USB wireless mouse. At boot up, "PS/2 MOUSE NOT FOUND" "F2 - CONTINUE" "ESC - 10, 9, 8, 7........"
I know there is a work around, set don't stop on errors in BIOS.
My point is does MSI and American Megatrends know that USB devices were invented a long time ago?

I have the same motherboard and processor as you and have flashed to the latest official bios (1.4) without any problems. My system hangs on post sometimes, but only hangs when trying to detect the CD Rom drives. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just hangs, I fixed the problem by putting the CD Rom drive beneath the harddrive in the boot order. As long as you have Windows installed you shouldn't need to boot to CD very often. I have also encountered the XP Bitmap showing up as faded for a second or two, but mine always brightens up and boots up. I have no idea what the problem may be with that, I would guess that it is driver related in some way. The best thing to do would be to try a couple of different VGA drivers over the course of a few days and see if the results differ in any way. To find out the best timings for your RAM download and run CPU-Z. That will give you the SPD timings, which should eliminate any RAM associated problems. Definately set the RAM timings yourself, because allowing the bios to configure things made my RAM run at 333 fsb speeds. I wouldn't think that booting off of the 30GB drive should cause you any major issues if all you have on it is your main Windows partition and the data you access is kept on other drives. It may be a second or two slower to boot, but as long as you put your games and hard drive intensive programs on a faster drive you should have no annoyingly slow problems.

Help please, the leds my t61 turn on though not even the BIOS appears on the screen

The title says all. After installing (dont know if it really have something to do) a modem usb and shutting down the laptop, the case, to transport it, i open it and the leds where turn on but no image appears. Then, i decide to force the reiniciate of the laptop, turn it off, and then push the power buttom, but, again, only the leds turn on but no image appears, not even the BIOS.
Can someone help me please? Googling i've find two possible answers:
i) whether the motherboard is dead. (Though, that will be totally unexpected, it was totally fine, and the laptop only have 1 year and a half. And yes, i have updated the BIOS, but that happent 2 weeks ago, and everything went fine)
ii) i have to reset the bios (dunno exactly how to do it. But i keep the live cd of the BIOS which i use to update it. That means that i should use it?
Further information: The fans are working, i can hear them. No beep code.
Thanks in advance.
HELP!

Just found the solution. It was justa matter of performing an electro static discharge, pushing the buttom 10 times in a 30 sec gap. Now sounds silly but im sure will work for someone. Just remenber to unplug any power alimentation to the laptop first, pushing the button in the right intervals (i had to try for half an hour to perform the right pattern) and when you first time boot it after doing these plug in the AC adapter, without the battery (it took me another half an hour for these)
cheers.

K9N6SGM-V bios questions And overclocking

Hi all i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the latest bios for the K9N6SGM-V actualy does they never give clear details on the bios pages as to what it does, The latest one just says Quote
Update CPU module.
People on here say dont flash you bios unless you have to, I have always flashed mine because i was lied to by MSI in the manual for my board it clearly states in the manual that it suports overclocking, HOW is this the case when all of the bios settings for the CPU are greyed out and not accessable. I update my bios in the hope that they actualy stick to the words in the manual and actualy open up the CPU settings, but it never seems to be that they do. WHY would they falsly claim that a motherboard is clockable when it clearly aint is there any other bios from any of the other MSI boards that will convert this into a AM2+ and open up the CPU settings. I feel ripped off and lied to i purchased this board because it clearly states CLOCKABLE

The same manual can be used for another board.
Fix your language 1st, then >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Also this is USER TO USER Forum, so quit bashing.
If you have some issue, you can contact to MSI directly here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/
"s all i wanna know is how i overclock this board as stated you can in the board manual, HOW IS THISD POSABLE When all the CPU voltages ext are greyed out "
Use +/- Num Pad keys or "PageUp", "PageDown" to adjust values.
Keep in mind that this is budget mainboard too...
