Intel 845E Max Series Chipset Based

Hi,
i have few questions need to ask.
i'm using Intel 845E Max Series Chipset Based (MS-6566E v1.0 ATX Mainboard)
i want to know is that, is my this mainboard can support the harddisk which have 160gb of capacity?
will it slow down my p4 1.7 speed if not support that high of capacity?
what can i do in order to let this mainboard support it?
what information u need to know to help me solve my problem?
thanks.

The worst case would be it only recognizes approximately 130 GB of it. Check mobo manual for hard drive support. also check for bios updates to add support. Try partitioning it into 2 drives. I know that works when OS is the limiting factor. Not sure if that works when hardware is the limiting factor. If you have not already bought the drive the safest answer is to buy a 120 GB drive. The other solution is to purchase a PCI controller card that supports 160 GB drives (sometimes even packaged with the drive if you do not have the drive yet).

Right, MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(Built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G not working, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III.

My MacBook Pro 17" early 2011(built March) and my new OCZ sata III 6G are not working together, when is Apple going to admit there is a problem with the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. In System Information it says "Link Speed: 6 Gigabit" which is sata III and in my MacBook Pro it does not work.
Now MacBook Pro 17" early 2011 built May onward do not have this problem it was fixed in the Intel's 6 Series Chipset. (So there is a problem). Cam I have my MacBook Pro fixed please.

After biting the bullet and ordering more RAM, my computer now is working a ton better. So that must have been the main issue. With 8 GB RAM, I can now even run Parallels fluidly (better than my work PC!) where before simple things like logging in to my MBP after reboot could take forever.
The place I went to had several other people getting RAM upgrades at the same time as me, so between this and other comments I've seen in discussions here and elsewhere on the Internets, I take it to mean that either Apple should bump up the base RAM on its new machines, and/or stop charging so much for additional RAM.
I refused to believe a Pro machine bought with Lion installed would come with too little RAM for light to medium usage, but it was apparently the case. I'll mark this as a correct answer and hope some other poor soul will come across this thread and be helped by it.

Intel Sandybridge 6 series chipset recall

I just completed building an Intel I7 2600K system with the MSI-P67A-C43 motherboard. I just found out today that intel is taking a $700million charge due to problems with the 6 series chipsets designed for use with second generation I5 and I7 sandybridge processors. The problem is the chipset degrades over time slowing down anything connected to SATA, like your hard drive and DVD. Will I be receiving a motherboard replacement when available, or should I return the product immediately? I sure hope I receive my chipset replacement out of that $700m rather than suffer performance and reliability loss. How long will it be before we find out what we are suppose to do?
Thank you

One possible bright side to this is that (is is said by Intel) that the derivative Cougar chipsets are not affected (or have already been fixed).
As this includes the Z67, it may be possible there introduction will be pushed up a bit.
For those who haven't heard, this guy combines the attributes of both the OC P67 and the use of on board video of the H67, plus a few more goodies.
Just another user with a positive outlook.
In the mean time I'm going to attempt a return of my board and wait until the dust settles a bit. After all, the silicone in the CPU doesn't rust. (Does it? )

Touchsmart 310 1110 uk. Intel (R) 6 Series chipset problems.

What are these issues?
Although the site explains it reasonable well it isn't crystal clear, in fact the graphics are terrible, if I didn't know beter i would think that they didn't want me to find out if I have a PC with chipset issues.
Is there a place to go to automatically test and diagnose for the presence of these chipset issies?
I have only recently discovered this and according to their site I have to act within 15 days, I have 2 days left. I think that's a bit naughty anyway. Surely when you register your product they should have automatically informed me that there may be a problem. I do think that a have these problem chips.

K9N SLI/K9N Ultra NVIDIA nForce 570 series chipset based. Boot problems

Hi
Im new to these kinds of things and I cant claim to be a tech wiz. I have never encountered this kind of a problem and im not familiar with anything relating to computer hardware, motherboards etc. I will however attempt to describe my dilemma. I have a booting issue with my computer and regardless of re-installing the OS the problem persists. To even get the computer to start i might have to press the power button repeatedly about 30 times. I also get this message on the screen: "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed and the system restored to the default settings....". However, I have never attempted any kind of overclocking, nor do I know how to do such a thing. To solve the problem I tried various things, first I reinstalled the OD(win vista). Then I ran various diagnostic tests and eventually entered BIIOS and tried to solve the problem by loading failsafe defaults and later loading optimized defaults. I also reset the CMOS using the red button located next to my chipset. None of the above seem to work and currently im at a loss as to how to solve my predicament. I have no cash to buy a new PC so I HAVE to make it work!
Keep in mind im merely refering to what it says on the box and I have no idea whatsoever about the meaning and/or interpretation of the combinations of letters and numbers!
Specs:
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ 3.0 Ghz Socket AM2 2MB BOXED
MSI K9N SLI-2F, nForce 570 SLI, DDR 2, Socket-AM2, 2x GbLAN, ATX, 2x PCI ex16

"starting" means my fans and everything else starts running. Well, starting means the power goes on(and stays on) with the familiar whirr of the fans . starting also implies the OS and everything else works. However I cant even get the power to stay on before pushing the power button about 30 times. Slowly and surely it powers up but it really struggles as of late. Its an old computer(about 5 years) and it was running fine until about a week ago.
Im merely a casual user of my pc, although I enjoy playing games such as world of warcraft, rift or any other MMO. I was thinking that it could be the power supply that is on it's last leg. However, I dont know how to change to a new one, despite reading the guides posted here. I also checked the power supply manual but the information contained within was far too technical for me to comprehend, it might aswell have been written in chinese.
Im also hesitant to flash BIOS as I have never done such a thing and as far as I know I might fry the whole system if I dont do it right. Lets asume I want to change the powersupply for a new one, should I go with an identical model as the old one? The power supply is a HIPER type-R series 580 W. I can provide all the technical data if necessary, I just want to solver the problem. I cant really think of any other likely solution as it should work asuming the power suppy isnt the problem. I reinstalled the OS from scratch anyway thinking it might be a software problem.
Could the problem also be caused by an old BIOS version? Not sure which one I have right now but considering I have never dared to update it, its more than likely an old version.

Intel 9 series chipset driver problem

hello
i know this is intel driver's problem, but as a manufacturer who use intel products especially chipset, can anyone tell intel that their "9 series" chipset driver is totally crap, absurd and so on? for those who are using this series of chipset, try checking their chipset driver via device manager and click any of "intel 9 series chipset family" driver under system devices or "intel 9 series chipset family usb..." driver under usb controllers and you can find that its driver provider are from microsoft and dated 2006. right, it is installed by operating system and chipset installer utility did nothing.
until intel knows about this thinsg, those who using 9 series chipset are using drivers from microsoft.

Hi,
Do you actually have any problems? Because Quote
chipset driver is totally crap, absurd and so on?
doesn't explain anything.
Follow >>Posting Guide<< and if possible we'll help you with the problem.
The fact they're dated 2006 doesn't mean anything. As long as thing is working fine, there's no need of updating. Possibly you're one out of xxx people that has some problems with it, but Intel (nor MSI, M$ and so on) couldn't really catch the issue since millions of tests before release is impossible.

MSI Why No HT Support On 845e Max Rev1

Please can someone from MSI tell me if there is anyway to update my 845E Max 6566 MB to utilise Hyper Threading. I have the latest Bios Revision 5.9.
In the specs on this website it says that the 845E Max DOES support HT. Yet mine does not have a Bios menu for it.
Is there any way to enable HT short of buying a new MB (which I do not really want to do as I though my current one should support HT).
TIA

Link to MSI site with 845E chipset. Please confirm which one you have.

This link is to supported CPU's (Sorry 800FSB not supported)
HyperThreading is ONLY supported under the XP range of Windows......
Has for HARDWARE mods..... be careful!!!!
There is some input from me.........also check the Overclockers section of MSI Forum.....resources there!!!

Is old 845E Max the same as 845E Max (HT ready)?

Hi:)
I've got MSI 6566 845E Max mainboard. But the only mainboard i found on http://www.msi.com.tw is 845E Max (HT ready). Can i use driver, firmware etc updates if they r for 845E Max (HT ready) to my mainboard? And finally, can i mount a Intel HT processor?
Thx for answer in advance.

I am NOT trying to be a WISE-GUY fellas! But I will BET you guy's the house that if he DOWNLOADS the BIOS (5.7) that his MO-BO WILL INDEED BE ABLE TO RUN IN H-T MODE, (as long as he gets a H-T PROC.)!. I say this because this has been done with other MO-BO companies! ie VIA, ASUS, AOPEN. I CAN VERIFY THIS STATEMENT FOR THE FACT THAT MY OTHER PC, A VIA P4BP-400-FL REV 2.0. WAS BUILT BEFORE (HT) CAME OUT, And on the VIA FORUM THESE SAME QUESTIONS WHERE ASKED! BECAUSE THE SAME BOARD WHITH REV.3.0 WAS (H-T) READY. BUT THE NEW BIOS REV. WAS FOR BOTH BOARDS!! I FLASHED BIOS (Thinking my BOARD would be a mess) BUT NO!! MY BOARD WAS NOW (H-T) READY!. SO I MUST SAY THAT I HAVE MORE FAITH IN MSI THEN I DO IN VIA, HENCE THE REASON I SAY THAT (IF THE NEW BIOS IS FOR BOTH BOARDS "REV 1.0 AND LATER) THEN Gotrec WILL INDEED HAVE A (H-T) BOARD AFTER HE FLASHES AND GETS A NEW PROC.!! PS. IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR HIM I WILL BE IN HIDING ...Sean REILLY875

Intel finds Sandy Brigde chipset design flaw

Hello!
This is my first post at Apple forum, and my first post with new MBP 13''.
I was searching for some news about new MacBook Pro (2011) and I found this:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/31/intel-finds-sandy-bridge-chipset-design-flaw- shipments-stopped/
I am a little worried because I bought the new model of macbook pro and I'm searching for some informations about it. I have checked the Intel website and I came across this situation
http://www.intel.com/consumer/products/processors/chipset.htm
Do I have this problem? And if so how can I contact someone to help me solve this?
Should I be worried?
Best regards,
Renato Baptista

You don't have this issue. Even if you did it wouldn't affect the laptops anyway as it only affects SATA ports 3 and upwards.
From the second article:
====
Q: What is the issue?
A: Under normal operation, Intel® 6 Series Express Chipsets have an issue that may impact SATA ports 2-5. Contact your system manufacturer for more information.
====
Your laptop only has 2 ports - 0 and 1.

Help! Problems with 845E MAX HSF seating

have a MSI 845E MAX and a P4 2.8 GHz cpu. I bought a coolmaster L71 for 478 socket type but when I put it on the cpu, the four little plastic white pins that hold the HSF mounting tray in place prevents the HSF from actually connecting with the CPU unless I use a load on paste (which is wrong)
If I take out the pins the HSF sits on the CPU fine but surley this cannot be correct? Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas why?
I have also tried a mates P4 S478 HSF and it does the same, the four pins seem to stop it touching the cpu correctly.
Party

What's up? I got your Email - I don't know about cutting those pins off. Man, that really sucks those heatsinks aren't fitting correctly. What would be wrong with getting a stock Intel fan/heatsink? They are really cheap. I saw one for $7 shipped. Or get the f/h I have. It's a Coolermaster D14-7H53D. However, if you want to try and cut those pins go ahead because you can always buy a new bracket if it doesn't work. Let me know what happens. Good luck.
Man, you can't say (s)ucks in this forum.

Need MAJOR HELP recovering an 845E-Max board (no post)

Hey guys and gals, I need some SERIOUS SERIOUS help here recovering my old board. I have an MSI 845E-MAX board, and decided to do some overclocking to it. While doing it, I raised the FSB too much, and now the system wont post. So I know what your all thinking, ok, take out your CMOS battery, or clear the JBAT1 jumpers. While ive done that, repeatedly, to no avail. Ive cleared the jumpers over and over, nothing. Taken the battery out for a 24hr period, nothing. Took the battery out for nearly a MONTH!, and nothing. Next your probally thinking, while maybe its bad RAM, Vid Card, CPU, etc. While it isnt lol Ive replaced/tested all the current hardware in other systems and they all work fine. Ive got a defenet mobo problem, and its really pissing me off lol on other boards by other manufacturers, if I put my FSB to high and it didnt post, restarting would put it into default specs, so I could adjust my fsb as needed. With this 845E though, its no such luck, and reseting the CMOS dosent do anything to fix it. Ive also read some posts about other boards who dont even have a JBAT1 jumper, and used an "insert" key method, where they power down, hold down the insert key, and boot up. Decided to try this, and it did nothing. I didnt think it was made for my board in the first place, but decided to give it a shot. IVe also tried reflashing/recovering the bios, by downloading the newest bios (its an AMI i believe) renaming it, putting it to a floppy, and booting the system holding CTRL+HOME to force the update. but it does nothing, and dosent even seem to read the floppy as the little green light dosent come on when i power up. The DVD/CD drive does though, and wehn i place WIN XP SP2 in the drive, it reads it and green light stays solid, so its just the floppy drive im having probs with I guess. Also, i get no beeps at startup, but can hear the hard drive boot and spin. I list my hardware specs below to help
So PLEASE, some MSI guru, help me before I go crazy here! :P thanx a million to any one who can lend a hand.

I do indeed...and yah i get no beeps at all....
but everything powers up fine...hdd spins...cd rom turns on, if i put in a Nic card, the green light comes when a cat5 cable is in it. So it looks like everything is receing power fine, but i just get no beeps at all to signify start up

845E Max(6566E) Temp Issue

Any1 who uses this mobo has some temperature issues? Pls post ur idle/full load temperature here n see whether we have some temperature abnormalities...
I'm running a P4 2A Ghz with Volcano 7+ & AS3 applied evenly.
My temperatures are:
idle: 56^C / 36^C (CPU/Chassis)
full load: 67^C / 40^C (CPU/Chassis)
both with an room temperature of 26^C.
What u have with ur temperature? Do share.

Idle: 45C-48C/28C-33C (Depending how hot it is outside)
Load: 49C-56C/34C-36C (Depending how hot it is outside)
Outside Temp is : 32C-38C
My Thermaltake LCD probe displays case temp at 1C-2C higher than the MSI mobo sensor. This leads me to believe that there isn't anything wrong with my mobo's temp detection. )
I have hooked up my Tornado a.k.a The Blowdryer to a Fan switch with H/L/M settings. When I am not doing anything CPU intensive I put the Tornado to Medium fan speed and there is a slight increase in temperature displayed in Motherboard Monitor.

Hi!
So I already have 845E Max (MSI-6566E), so I have this prob. In idle 46~48C, and on high use 55~57C.
I think it is bad, because in this temperature can't overclock the system, or not stable :(
And the Intel Cooler, (in the BOX version of CPU) so weak.
So 2 solution we have:
1.) Big copper cooler, with least 6 or 8cm fan.
- can be noisy :-(
2.) Watercooling system
- the best choice (I'm already on making )
- quit
- safe
Just Do It!
Nice Day 2 U Meeen!

Has anyone used an ATI All in Wonder 128 Pro with the 845E Max? Are they compatible?

I have an 845 E Max and an old ATI All In Wonder Pro 128. The ATI is a Rage Pro 128 with a Universal Connector Type and AGP Spec of 2X. MSI says it will work, but I fear conflicts with a vid card that has 3.3v spec for a 1X.
Anyone have any advice?
Anyone have any recommended power supplies for the 845E Max?

i would say you cannotr use it based on what you have said
