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...

Neo-FIS2R (i875) Questions and overclockability

I just got this board, looks sweet, have all the features and all that.... but I still have a few questions.
First my system:
Chieftec 420Watt psu (tried a 520Watt and a 550Watt psu as well).
MSI Neo-FIS2R bios 1.6
2 x 512Mb Twinmos PC3200 CAS 2.5 (with winbond CH-5 chips).
P4 2,6C Phillipines With Alpha PAL8942T with a pretty powerful 8x8cm fan. Arctic Silver 3 paste used.
ATI Radeon 8500 Pro
Audigy 2
2 x 80gig in raid at onboard promise controller.
WinXP Pro SP1.
Now onto the questions:
CPU temp:
In bios it says 37-38 deg C
In PC Wizard (from www.cpuid.com) it says 27-28 deg C.
In Motherboard monitor, newest version it says:
Sensor 1 set to winbond 1 = 27-28 deg C
Sensor 2 set to winbond 2 = 53-54 deg C
Sensor 3 set to winbond 3 = 66-67 deg C!!!! :O
What is correct and where is those sensors placed? As 66-67 deg C seems to be wrong?
And why do it not boot when I put in my Silicon Image 680 IDE controller? Tried all bios settings and different PCI slots.
I tried to OC my CPU to 3,25GHz but failed = I get a BSOD after a while in Windows or windows locks up. PCI/AGP is locked to 34/68MHz, MEM is set to DDR333 so actually the memory is running at 400MHz @ 2,5-4-4-8 (verified with CPU-Z). Tried upping V-Core up to as high as 1,7V (won't go higher due to risk of damaging CPU) Tried upping DDR and AGP voltage as well, still no change. It works great at 2,8GHz though with DDR at 430MHz
Any ideas? Or did I just get a less overclockable CPU or a crappy mobo?
And why do the voltages show up as very varying? V-Core changes from 1,528 to 1,587 when set to 1,550V, other voltages do also vary a lot.... Tried 3 different high quality PSU's so that should not cause it. My previous asus board showed way more stable voltages.
Is the build quality of this board any good? As varying voltages and overclocking sems to vary a lot....
Yes and I'm annoyed with the mem performance and problem with manually setting the memory timings at higher FSB's. Fix will hopefully come. Highest mem score so far is 4,9K
Should probably have waited for the asus P4C800-E (P4C800 with CSA LAN and ICH5R southbridge).

It's known problem MSI boards do not register tempratures right. It could however be resolved by another BIOS update.
So don't worry.

Have you tried setting the onchip ATA operate mode to native?

Just plain luck i guess, i have an 2.4C hitting 3.2 GHz.

Voltages always vary as they depend on the total powerconsumption of the system.

I cannot comment on this one as i have it's 865 sibling.

Well, you are an early adopter of this new technology, there are always little problems with brand new products like these.

You could always try to exchange to board, but i'd suggest you sit this one out. Asus itself isn't without problems. Take a look around the different forums around the world.
If you're really anxious to try something else, try the MSI 865 Neo2 FIS2R.

MSO PRO-E 7522 BIOS confusion and persistent BSoD

Hi there
A few months ago I switched from 775 to 1366.
Components changed:
CPU (from Q9550 to i7 950)
MOBO (from Asus P5QL PRO to MSI PRO-E
RAM (From 8gb 800Mhz DDR2 to 12GB 1333Mhz DDR3 ADATA)
PSU (from Antec 550W to Cooler Master Ultimate 900W
+1 GFX card (Another ATI XfX 5870 Black Ed.)
I did not overclock the old system and I haven't overclocked my current system.
Now the thing is, I've been having bluescreens ever since I got that MSI PRO-E.
I've tried: switching RAM (since it said 1 was faulty), switched harddrives, reinstalled windows +/-6 times and looking for driver updates.
Now finaly I went looking at the BIOS.
Since I got a new PRO-E I remembered that I had no idea what version of the BIOS was running.
It seems that currently version 8.C0 is running.
Now I need to know if it matters that I've got the 8.xx BIOS version while running a crossfire setup.
Because I've read this:
Version 7.xx (7.3 is supposed to be the latest) supports Crossfire
Version 8.xx (8.E is supposed to be the latest) supports SLI.
Now I understand that 7.3 won't support SLI, only crossfire.
But does version 8.xx support both SLI AND Crossfire? Or am I simple messing up my computer because I've got a wrong BIOS version?
BSoD info:
problem continues to be caused by: ntkrnlmp.exe I think.
Well the first blue screen does not:

I have also tried: registry cleaner countless times. though it sometimes did find stuff I don't think anything could relate to some shortcut which the program thought to be useless but was actualy referring to the windows debugging program. And even without regsitry faults (being detected) it crashed.
So I just need to knowL could it be my BIOS version + Crossfire = blue screen
If not.. any idea's?

Ah, ok so its already running at 1066?
Yes.
Quote
CPU-Z showed 530.5
CPU-Z always shows the real frequency. Because of the DDR architecture (Double Data Rate) there are two transactions per clock cycle. That means 530.5 MHz effectively translates to 530.5 x 2 = DDR3-1061 [~DDR3-1066]. The small difference (DDR3-1061 vs. DDR3-1066) can have two causes: The Base Clock Speed is either not set to 133 MHz in BIOS Setup and/or Spread Spectrum in Enabled and causes small clock speed deviations.
Quote
Then what would you have me do now?
Leave the memory frequency setting @DDR3-1066. It is better for testing anyway. You can worry about that later. The only thing you may want to check is the Base Clock speed (make sure it is set to 133 MHz in BIOS) and the Spread Spectrum setting (disable it).

MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr 2GB OC Bios question

I got the MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr OC 2gb version and would like to know how to verify if I have the newest bios for the gpu.
This is the newest version listed on the website : http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N770_TF_2GD5OC.html#download
And thats an ss from GPU-Z, cant find the exact bios version in that downloadable zip from msi website and i cant seem to find the date created for the bios I have on my card now.
Having some problems with gpu load drops and microstuttering, so wondering if a bios update might sort out my problems.

The vbios on MSI site is a different vbios series (NV282MS.331) and older than your current vbios. Your vbios (NV282MS.352) is dated 06/18/13 while the one from MSI site is dated 06/11/13. Both are legacy vbios versions (no GOP support). You can try the latest hybrid vbios (GOP support) which is NV282MH.351. It is attached.
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the included file with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

Hi CB, i'm very appreciating your effort to solve my problem
I tried your way to press OKR key when my laptop is Off.
What i got is, i go to my win10 logo. Not to bios one
And when i'm on my desktop, there's no other thing than my ordinary desktop.
FYI, before i get the win10 logo, i got the black screen with F2 to bios and F12 to select boot order. But i prefer not to press it.
Its just like the same with pressing power button to power on my laptop.
Any idea how to solve it CB ?
I'm familiar with laptop stuff. So maybe you can show me how i fix it myself.
Big thanks CB
Just a couple of questions to clear up my understanding of the situation - bear with me.
Before you installed Windows 10, did the power button respond normally and were you able to see your BIOS pages?
Also - when you installed / upgraded to Windows 10 was it a "clean install" or did you follow the upgrade path?
If you were able to operate the notebook with the power button prior to installing / upgrading to Windows 10 I would try booting from a "live DVD" for Linux (Mint / Ubuntu / Fedora) to see if it works in that situation. If it works as expected in Linux then we have a Windows OS issue to deal with.
If you performed a "clean install" of Windows 10 it may have wiped out the factory partition (hidden) on your hard drive and going back to factory settings may not be an option.
Cheers.

G780 BIOS question

Hi,
I have a Lenovo G780. After recently discovering my processor has Turbo Boost, I went to search how to enable it.
Turns out the current version of my BIOS doesn't support this, but the new update from April does. This update is for Windows 8 though. My laptop runs Windows 7 Ultimate (self-installed, all the drivers are in place.). Would this still work? I know BIOS is risky to flash, so I'd rather know for sure that this can be done on Windows 7 too.
The update can be found here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS035004
Thanks in advance.
(P.S.: I have read about the known issues this BIOS has, and if I'm not mistaken this can be fixed by selecting "Legacy Support" on Boot Mode and "Legacy First" on Boot Priority?)

hi
I gues that the CPU is throttling down at some point
Can you try running a temperature Monitor on the CPU
http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/
Check the Temp of the CPU Cores,

OLD: Started new Topic: See: New P6N 650i and Overclocking

Hi Forum.. Just built a new box with following components:
Intel C2D-E6400
MSI P6N 650i SLI-FI mobo
Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2-800 (2.2v) memory/2gig
Rosewill RCX-Z775-SL 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS HDD
XFX PVT80GGHE9 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB PCIE GPU
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power 650W Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Installed WinXP Pro with sp2 and system is up and running (without a hiccup) quite nicely... PCAlert4 shows: CPU=20c, Sysytem=25c, CPU Fan=2170... CoreTemp shows: Core#0=32c, Core#1=31c.... My guess is that these numbers are good.
I have built quite a few builds over the last 15 years but mostly on the AMD platform and have "never" attempted to overclock... I was thinking of trying it with this new build as it seems, from this forum, I have all the right components... I would like to try a modest O/C maybe up to 3ghz... I went to the bios and the Cell menu and tried to make some changes but some items will not allow you to change their values and to be quite honest, I'm not sure "what" values need to be changed and "where", to attain an O/C of 3ghz... I appoligize for my ignorance in overclocking but I really do not want to screw up this system... I was hoping that one of you nice gents out their with the same basic components could point me in the right direction... "Thanks in advance", JD <aka: Peckrhead>

mis dos centavos,
I am another pleased owner of this fine board. Proud to say it!
Great layout, install was a breeze (though MSI is in serious need of a native English speaking tech writer), basic setup went alright,
though I still have issues (probably due to the crappy utilities); but performance and ease of OCing is great.
Anyhoo, I've been working on/with this cheat-sheet
Here's a short version-
*Update BIOS to the latest version or not; there are differing opinions on the need to, you have to do
the cost/benefit|risk analysis.
Part 2. In BIOS Setup
[ ]   (1) On first boot enter BIOS Setup and select - 'Load Optimized Defaults'
** If you've never seen or figured out how to enter BIOS Setup, you probably need to learn more before
thinking about overclocking. Think about it.
(2) Save and exit.
ON REBOOT ENTER BIOS Setup again AND SET THE FOLLOWING:

     *CPU 'speed' = ('FSB Clock' / 4) x 'CPU Ratio';
     ie. , 1064 / 4 = 266.6 x 8 = 2128MHz core 'speed' (E6400 spec).
*(b) is DDR speed or frequency. Since 533 / 2 = 266.65 MHz; result
should be 1:1 FSB|DRAM ratio. if 'System Clock Mode' is [MANUAL],
(b) can be any speed supported by RAM and FSB|DRAM ratio may vary.

*Mine read: 100 | -- | 2.1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 2% |
As you increase the FSB, the RAM will follow in the pattern of 1:1
shown in BIOS.
When 1FSB:1RAM is overclocked above the rated frequency of your RAM
use the following values: Timing: 5-5-5-15; vDIMM: 2.#V, max per DIMM.
e.g. DDR2-667 4-4-4-12 1.9V operating at ~400Mhz will need to be set
to 5-5-5-15, 2.1 - 2.2V.
5. Save settings and reboot.

MS-6398 Bios question!!

I was gonna overclock my brother's pentium4, 2.2ghz (it's a Fujitsu/Siemens)
The problem is that you can't overclock with the current bios... so I was thinking of flashing to a new version
The motherboard is a MS-6398
(http://www.msi.com.tw/program/produ...4&MODEL=MS-6398)
I checked the Bios downloads and the latest one is AMI 6398v35 or something...
The weird thing is that my current bios is Award! 6.00g or something
What should I do ?
(p.s, Are Geforce4 ti4400 1.5 or 3.3v agp?)

Well I flashed now, with the latest bios on the F/S website..
The flashing went well, but the OC options are still not there :((
mayor suckage .. that 2.2ghz northwood could have had some oc potential

845 E-Max Bios Question

Can anyone help me with this one, I have an 845 E-Max mobo and for a while my boot up would take a while because of the USB devices, and then MSI relaesed a BIOS fix that took care of that problem, and it did, after I flashed my Bios my boot sequence was quick as ever and have had no problems since. However I recently re-formated (
Thanks

yes I agree about not flashing the Bios over and over again, but was jsut curious to see what it would do, it's how I learn things, and if it breaks then I know not too do that again in the future. As to your question, I have a powered USB hub that has a printer connected to it and sometimes a web cam but the web cam is not an issue as it is never really plugged all the time, but the powered USB is. The only change that I have made that I just thought of is the power USB is now connected through my monitor and then the monitor usb acts as a hub as well. So the Monitor is connected to the computer for the USB power, then the USB hub is connected through the monitor. Then the neck bone is connected to the shoulder bone and the shouldler oh wait...I'm getting off track here. Ummm....let me try something, I think I may have just answered my own problem here....BRB

Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro? From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended. But how/where?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

Bios Flashing and Recovery

BIOS FLASHING
We do not recommend using the MSI LiveUpdate tool to update your BIOS! It may be okay for updating your drivers, but please do not use it to flash the BIOS in Windows!
Windows-based flashing - If you REALLY insist on flashing the BIOS under Windows, if you encounter any error during flashing, whatever you do, DON'T restart your PC! Try again until the flash is successful, otherwise your board will not start! Disable any anti-virus program (along with any other programs) prior to flashing.
Boards with built-in M-Flash function - While M-Flash work's properly most of the time, it has still proved to be less reliable than the forum tool / manual flash.
Before flashing your BIOS, you must ensure your system is fully stable! Any instabilities can cause a bad flash and create an expensive paper weight. Included with the forum flash tool is MEMTEST, we recommend running this for 2 or more passes prior to a flash.
If you do not understand what your BIOS is, or what it does, please read: >> BIOS. What it is, and all you need to know <<
Our first choice we recommend you use is our own USB flashing tool, developed by Svet.
It is important to note, that the only way to flash the ME extension of the BIOS of modern Intel boards is through the use special processes. The bios versions posted by moderators here: >>BIOSes<< include the additional files to accomplish this. These bios are all official and are directly from MSI.
>>>MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool<<<
If you are unable to use the MSI HQ USB BIOS Flashing Tool
>>How to create a dos bootable USB stick>>
It is important to note that if any BIOS, EC FIRMWARE or any other type of FIRMWARE downloaded from MSI for a manual flash contains an BAT file it must be used. Not doing so will cause the flash to fail and require RMA.
For Intel Users, flash via FPT
Socket LGA 1150 : >>ME 9 FPT files & Instruction>>
Many of the bios versions posted here: >>BIOSes<< Contain a .bat file. All you need to do is extract all of the contents of the archive into the root directory of a DOS bootable USB stick and run the bat file from pure DOS.
Socket LGA 1155 & 2011: >>ME 7&8 FPT Files and instruction<<
Linux users
See this topic: >>Flash your BIOS, the Linux way! [beware the dangers!!]<<
Modified and BETA BIOSes
Use only at your own risk! All BETA BIOS versions posted by the moderators of this forum are directly from MSI and will not effect your warranty.The use of user modified BIOS versions may damage the board and may void your warranty. Exercise extreme caution in regards to user posted BIOS versions. Please also be aware that MSI and this forum can not be held responsible if you trash your mobo by using a modded, beta or otherwise incorrect BIOS.
WHEN IT ALL GOES WRONG...
BIOS RECOVERY
In many cases, provided the 'bootblock' of your BIOS is not corrupted during a bad flash, the BIOS can often be recovered by following the recovery procedures detailed below. NOTE: this recovery method should not be followed for normal practice of updating your BIOS!
For Modern MSI Systems, refer to:
<<Multi-Bios Equipped Mainboards>>
<<Single-Bios Equipped Mainboards>>
Legacy Systems:
For Award BIOS
Make a bootable floppy disk*
Copy the Award flash utility & BIOS file to the said floppy disk
Create an autoexec.bat with "Award_Flash_Utility BiosFilename" in the content (e.g. awdfl823K w6378vms.130)
Sample on how to create an autoexec:
a. On Windows, open the notepad
b. On the notepad, write "awdfl823K w6378vms.130" (without the " ")**
c. Save the file as autoexec.bat
Boot up system with the said floppy (it will take less than 2 minutes before screen comes out)
Re-flash the BIOS & reboot.
*Need a bootable floppy disk? Look here: http://www.bootdisk.com
**Make sure you enter the correct filenames for your flasher program and BIOS ROM file!
For AMI BIOS
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
For new boards with AMI BIOS core 8 (4MB)
Discovered by Jack The Newbie:
Of course, the steps are similar to the standard AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure for internal floppy drives (rename corresponding BIOS File to AMIBOOT.ROM, hit CTRL + HOME after starting the system).
What has to be done (tested on P45 Platinum):
1. An optical SATA Drive needs to be connected to one of the Intel ICH10R SATA ports. {After a lot of testing, I found that it does not work with the same optical drive connected to the SATA Ports hosted by the secondary JMicron Controller. Also, using an optical drive on the JMicron IDE/PATA port does not help either.}
2. A proper BIOS File has to be renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM and burned on an empty CD.
3. CMOS-Clear with main A/C power cable removed from PSU has to be performed. {If this step is not done, the system will reboot after pressing CTRL + Home and will not proceed with recovery procedure.}
4. Press CTRL + Home to trigger BIOS Recovery. -> The system should enter BIOS Recovery Routine. {Will basically work with both USB & PS/2 keyboard. However, a PS/2 Keyboard is recommended as the system will respond earlier to PS/2 Keyboard than to USB Devices.}
What should happen now:
1. After pressing CTRL + HOME the LED Status should change to "Intializing Hard Disk Controller" and there should be access to the optical drive connected to the Intel ICH10R SATA ports.
2. It can take up to 30+ seconds until the BIOS File that was renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM is found. {Drive Bay can be opened to try a different CD without turning off or restarting the system.}
3. When the system finds the BIOS File, LED Status will change to "Testing RTC" and there should be a message on the screen indicating that the Flash Recovery Procedure has started.
4. Since the BIOS File is 4MB in size, it will take a while until the BIOS is actually reflashed.
Its also possible that BIOS recovery on boards with AMIBIOS8 can be done using a FAT-formatted USB stick, containing the renamed BIOS file. Be warned, in some circumstances it may take several moments before recovery procedure actually begins. See Bas' reply below for further information.

BIOS recovery on non-UEFI notebooks
In order to recovery this type of system you will need an FAT32 formatted USB stick.
Download the applicable bios from MSI's website and rename this bios.
It must be re-named to either AMIBOOT.ROM or xxxxIMS.ROM / xxxxAMS.ROM You may need to try each way to determine which one is necessary.
Then place the renamed bios onto the root directory of the FAT32 formatted USB stick.
Now you are ready to cover the Notebook.
To do this, remove the AC power cord and battery. Once that has been completed, install the USB stick you prepared earlier.
Now, apply AC power (leaving the battery disconnected) and turn on the notebook. Recovery should begin after 5 minutes.
IF ALL ELSE FAILS...
Locate the BIOS chip on your mainboard. If it is soldered directly to the PCB like...
...then you have no choice but to return the board to your supplier, or to MSI, for replacement.
To request an RMA from MSI, open a support ticket at https://register.msi.com/ocss/
If your BIOS chip is in a socket, like...
...then you may be able to source a replacement BIOS chip, either from MSI, or from a website such as www.badflash.com

A.) Download >>this<< bios archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< .
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB from working bios B.
G.) Once it booted successfully switch to bios A without powering down or rebooting
H.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash bios A with desired version

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions and I don't believe I ever answered any security questions when I created my Apple ID for Itunes. Someone kindly sent me Apple support link but to no avail! Please Help me!

I have no "Rescue email" contact in order to reset my security questions!! I've been trying now for 4 days to contact Apple/Itunes but I only get sent answers from a support team that say they cannot help me with my problem!!
The thing is that I can't ever remember answering any security questions and without a rescue email, I'm unable to reset them or even set them for the first time!!
I can't believe that no-one from Apple/Itunes can help me with this simple problem but unfortunately that is the case - Incredible, isn't it!!!
Would anyone know how I could solve this problem online??? Because each time I sign into Itunes, the same security questions reappear and reappear and reappear. In fact I've got to the point where I feel like uninstalling Itunes and downloading an alternative.
Many thanks

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
