Is MSI 965 Platinum compatible with Thermalright SI 120?

I already have the Thermalright SI 120 heatsink and I plan to buy the 965 Platinum. I need to know first that my cpu cooler is compatible with the board.
Does anyone has those two?
Thanks a lot!

MSI 965 Platinum and Q6600 Go edition Overclocking help

Firstly this is my rig that I'm discussing...

Audigy 2 ZS audio PCI
Compro PCIE Dual DVB-T
Windows Vista 64 Ultimate SP1 & Windows XP SP3 on dual boot.
Ok now thats out the way, basically what I need to know is a walk through for this motherboard to JUST overclock the CPU to about 3GHz per core and was wondering what BIOS settings need to be enabled/disabled to effect this properly...I don't want to overclock ram or voltages though.

Ok I've pretty much sorted what I needed to know....got it stable up to 3.6ghz (400FSB) and the ram at 800mhz, posted fine although bit twitchy without messing with voltages....maybe sort that out another time as this was merely an experment to see how far it could go...overall very impressed at being able to even reach a 50% overclock on air cooling ...anyway reset everything back to defaults now.

MSI 965 Platinum and E6700 Core2. HELP

My problem is this. I just got a MSI 965 platinum and a E6700 CPU.
But when i check the little apps called CPU-Z then i can se my multiplier is only at 6x instead og 10x as default and core speed around 1600Ghz. I think its called (EIST) ?? or something.
I did turn of the 3 thing in BIOS setup. Spread Spectrum, Speedsteep and the vanderpool. I tought that would keep my CPU running at full speed all time. But it dosent. Its still in auto mode (EIST) i can see in CPUZ
I need some help here please. I dont want to use that processor cycling auto mode, i want it at 2.66Ghz all time.
Is that posible with this combination ? Can anybody help her please.
thx

Overclocking on this board right now is just highly irregular, you can't tell what you are going to get. We will have to wait for a new BIOS release...
Like the rest of us, your choice in motherboards has been unlucky. Hopefully a new BIOS release will help overclocking.
What seems to be your maximum FSB right now?

[nVidia Series] is it MSI P4N Diamond compatible with Gigabyte 3D1 (Dual Core 66GT)

yesterday i juz got a Gigabyte 3D1 graphic card..so i wanna know..is it MSI P4N Diamond compatible with this graphic card?
thanx

The problem is, this card was only intended to ever be used on that motherboard. It may work in single GPU mode on other boards, but results will vary on other SLI boards.
This line is from the referenced article. It seems to imply that card is intended to be used with the Gigabyte board.

MSI NEO2 Platinum, problem with mouse Genius PS2 optical

Hello,
I have a MSI NEO2 Platinum motherboard with a mouse Genius optical PS2. When the S.O. init the mouse is not detected, I unplug and plug again the PS2 port and the mouse work perfectly ! ... The mouse is working perfectly, I test it in another PC, the problem is the motherboard !
The same situation is on Windows XP Professional and Linux Ubuntu 5.10.
Please help me, thanks for your attention !
Raúl.

Raúl,
The PS2 slot is NOT a hot plug! If you remove and reinstall it while there is power to the mobo you stand a very good chance of destroying the PS2 Slot.
Take Care,
Richard

MSI P55 GD80 compatible with Intel COre i7 Extreme 965

hye there, i just wanted to know is the new p55 GD80 fits with intel core i7 extreme 965??..
as far as i concern, p55 mobo compatible with any i5 or i7 board, is that true.?

The p55 stands for the chipset , so it's a p55 chipset and no x58 chipset ,.
The p55 is only compatible with cori i5 and core i7 starting with 8... ( 860 , 870) it support only dual channel memory and not triple like the core i7 9... (920 , 940 , 950 965 ,975).
The core i5 and core i7 860 ,870 has the pci-e controller integrated so you have only 1x16 or 2x 8x8 or 1x8 and 2x4 for triple sli in sli or crossfire. The core i7 9.... with x58 chipset have 2x 16 pci-e or 1x16 and 2x8 for triple sli , so for highend multi gpu's the x58 has a advantage and it has triple channel memory , but it is a small advantage.
See here the socket it support and if it has hyper-treathing or not.
The core i5 750 has no hyper-treathing the core i 7 does, no matter what socket ( 1156 or 1366)

Is MSI Z87-G45 compatible with Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 and TridentX ?

Hello,
I have a MSI Z87-G45 and 2 DDR3 TridentX (from 40 mm tall without heatspreader to 53mm with it) in dual channel mode.
I'd like to mount a Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 with rear air extraction, front heatsink fan, and my DDR3 in dual channel mode (slot 2 and 4). Is it compatible or will I encounter clearance issue with DDR3 ?
Thanks

I bought the Dark Rock 3 from Be Quiet and I confirm that it is perfectly compatible with both TridentX and MSI Z87-G45 but we have to sacrifice the DDR's first slot (2, 3 and 4 still available).

Is MSI P35 Neo compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters?

I've just bought a 1 Tb Samsung USB3 powered external HDD. Currently I only have USB2 ports which can't handle the transfer speed of USB3. Is my MSI P35 Neo mainboard compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters, if I were to fit one?
Thanks in advance
Pedro

If it is an add-on card, it should work if the drivers are properly installed.
However, if you need more information on compatibility results, I suggest that you log a technical support ticket with MSI.

MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum compatible with AMD 5400+ BLack Edition???

I looked at MSI's chart, the AMD 5400+ BLack Edition was NOT listed, yet the 5000+ BE was. To further confuse me, I read all of newegg's review for this board, 1 user was running a AMD 5400+ BLack Edition on it. Can someone please confirm? Thanks!!!

I can confirm that this CPU does work with this board. I have asked this question to MSI Online Customer Service about a week ago and this was their response:
Dear xxxxx,
Thanks for contacting MSI Technical Support Team!
Regarding your concern,yes,both your ADO5400DSWOF & ADO5000DSWOF are supported by this mainboard.
For more details,please refer to below link for CPU Support List:

Hope that helps. I am getting that processor too!! Can't wait!

Are the versions of BIOS from MSI 790FX-GD70 compatible with GD70 Winki Edition?

I want to update BIOS because a problem with freezing up of the system remains the same. But for Winki Edition updates kept indoors April 2009, while for original GD70 there were already 5 (!) new versions of updates. Is BIOS compatible from original GD70 with my Winki Edition? Thanks for answers.

As you look at the Bios versoins remember that because there have been addl versions it doesn't mean you need it. Newer Bios's will only make a difference in the areas that adjustments were made. ie: an upgrade for CPU compatability for example. If everything is fine and running don't upgrade your Bios because you noticed a new one unless you need it. On the other hand upgrading to a 'Released' newer version might not hurt either, but when it comes to 'Beta" versions you enter the 'Beta' world of unsanctioned (MSI Released) versions that are for test/adjust purposes before release.
I don't have the 'Winki' edition and spoke to MSI Tech Support about adding Winki. (not going to do it after all) but for me it requires adding the Winki through USB board connection to add, you need to remove the Winki attachment to use the nonWinki Bios editions. If you think the other board version Bios's will enhanch you top OC capability I do not know if an advantage exists? OC is a single capability on all equally built PC's that get different results. You might want to do the reverse of what I asked MSI Tech and learn if it is worth it. Do you like the Winki part? If yes, changing will loose it. The gain can't be huge, enjoy your board with Winki, you'll probialy be happier in the long run.

MSI 965 Platinum slow dvd drive access - is it a Jmicron issue

I am having a bit a problem. I just built this system and installed windows xp sp2 without a single hitch. However while I was installing various drivers and such for the components I noticed that the DVD ROM was slow to respond. The hard drive is under SATA #1 and the DVD ROM is in the only ide port on the board. When I installed windows and the subsequent MSI drivers disk I did not tell it to install any jmicron drivers what so ever. I was wondering what is the proper set up for this configuration ie. bios setting and should I install any of the jmicron drivers and which jmicron drivers to install. I do not care about having any RAID functionality.
Thanks

Let me clarify this situation a little more. Like I said earlier I just build this system and did not have any problems installing windows xp. I do not recall exactly which bios setting I changed so my IDE DVD-RW drive was recognized but the setting had something to do with raid/ide/disable. I think. Anyhow, upon boot up it recognized my IDE DVD-RW drive and correctly booted the windows xp sp2 cd. I went through the setup menu for xp and created one large partition. It recognized my SATA drive as being 230 or 240 GB when in actuality it is a 250. No problem with me. I formated the HD. It took about an hour to format the whole drive. Next, it loaded windows xp which took about 15 minutes or so. When the OS started I used the included MSI disk to load the network, intel and sound drivers. I did not choose to load the jmicron driver because of the horror stories I have read. After I loaded the MSI drivers I installed my video card driver and monitor driver/software. It was when it started to install the video card driver that I noticed the drive acting a little weird. By weird I mean slow access and it was giving me an when it would try to "autoplay" the EVGA driver disk. Anyhow, eventually it started and I was able to install the video card drivers. After everything loaded I decided to load a few CD's. Mostly data and music CDs. On some of the data cd's the access times seemed slow. Like 10 - 15 seconds for xp to negotiate with the DVD drive. So, I thought there must be a connection with not installing the Jmicron drivers. However, my system is incredibly stable. It has not had one hiccup. I even installed NWN2 and played it for several hours without any issues. Since this is my first SATA drive I do not know what the devise manager is supposed to look like. Nor did I really know what to exaclty set the bios at the get the best performance and stability from the system. When I look in the device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers there are several items listed in this order
Intel(R) ICH8 2 port Serial ATA Controller - 2825
Intel(R) ICH8 2 port Serial ATA Controller - 2820
Primary IDE Channel
Primary IDE Channel
Primary IDE Channel
Secondary IDE Channel
Secondary IDE Channel
Secondary IDE Channel
Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller
My questions/concerns are as follows.
What are the proper settings in the bios for a SATA HD connected to one of the six SATA port (not JMicron) and a IDE DVD-RW connected to the IDE Jmicron port?
Do you have to install the Jmicron drivers for the IDE port and if so will it compromise the stability of the system?
Which Jmicron driver do I install? ( I don't know if there is more than one just asking incase there are different ones)
Is this the way the device manage is supposed to look? (see above)
