K9NGM-L recognises PC6400 as PC5300

Hi,
I have a new MSI K9NGM-L mainboard, with 1Gb dual channel PC6400. When I boot my system, it shortly flashes some info. I managed to see it by pressing the pause button Problem is: it thinks I have PC5300 667MHz memory installed. But in fact it's PC6400 800MHz! Same when looking in windows Windows, CPU-Z, Sisoft Sandra etc. all say that I have 667Mhz memory..  ???
The stickers on the dimm's and packaging clearly state that it's PC6400, 800mhz..
My mainboard is supposed to support DDR2-800, but it seems like it does not. Also, there is no Cell bios option, so nothing I can tweak. I do have the latest (and only) bios version.
Detailed specs:
Motherboard: MSI K9NGM-L uATX
Memory: GEIL 1Gb (2x512Mb) dual channel PC6400, DDR2 800, CAS4
CPU: Amd Athlon64 3800+ socket AM2
Can anyone please help me out! Thanks!

Is it theese ones :

  • Can I install the ddr2 pc5300 memory from my Mac Pro 1,1 in a Mac Pro 3,1 that requires ddr2 pc6400?

    I have replaced a Mac Pro 1,1 with a used Mac Pro 3,1. I am trying to canibalize as much as I can. Will the slower RAM from the 1,1 work in the 3,1? Dare I just stick it in and try, or might I cause damage?

    I don't quite understand. I do plan to try installing the old ddr2 pc5300 667 from my Mac Pro 1,1 into my Mac Pro 3,1 one pair at a time, just to confirm each pair is in working order and happy in its new home. I have 8x2 GB of RAM I hope to move.
    I am uncertain what you have said from there. Yes, the cost would be cheap, free in fact! Is this what you meant? You had suggested buying 667 from Amazon, or similar -- but I don't need. And you have made the point that 8 DIMMs is beneficial--which I will have covered. (great tip)
    I think what I am most uncertain about is the comment about what will run cooler. Maybe you mean if I purchased newer memory, the design has become more efficient, so the expense is worth considering?
    Thanks in advance!

  • K9NGM: memory tweaking options? Compatibility?

    I have recently assembled a SFF pc with a MSI K9NGM motherboard.  It works perfect but the BIOS is so basic that there are even no memory tweaking options.  It seems that no matter which ram I use, the same default timings are selected (5,6,5,15,2T).  The problem is that when you buy high end pc6400 ram(800mhz ddr2) ram you manually have to adjust ram timings and speed in the bios, which in this case is impossible.  So if you buy expensive high end pc6400 or just value pc5300 ram they will run at the same speed on this mobo.
    My question is will there be a bios update that will allow some memory tweaking in the “advanced chipset features” menu? (like the K8NGM)
    What with 2 different memory modules (with different timings, speed)?  Will they cause compatibility issues in dual channel with this motherboard?  Or will the Bios automatically assign the slower speed of the two?

    yes.
    also, if it works, don't break it. that mobo is not intended for high-end, and i find it strange that you would shell a lot of money for the high end ram. but if you still want to tweak it, you can use clockgen.

  • K9NGM - L

    I have K9NGM - L , with Cpu AMD 64 Bit 3500+ AM2 (orleans) , and HDD toshiba SATA2 250GB, the power supply its ok because de mother work with kingston memory but don´t work with this :
    Mem DDR2 667 Mhz PC-5400 OCZ DCh Value Pro 2x512 Gb CL5-5-5-10
    ESPECIFICATION
    • 667 MHz
    • CL 5-5-5-10
    • 1GB (2x512) Dual Channel Optimized Kits
    • Pure Copper Heatspreader
    • Unbuffered
    • Lifetime Warranty
    • 1.8 Volts
    • 240 Pin DIMM 
    The mother can`t power on, because the memory are not supported!!!, why??
    this board only suport kingstone memory, why???  
    (I think the mother can`t recognise This model of OCZ)
    (i have  a mother Asus with the same socket and have problem too, only works with Kingston, I think the chipset can`t recognise de memory)
    PD: Richard, tell me if you need more datails, specific to my

    They will not boot with 1.8v at the SPD timings they have (known issue at the OCZ forum) .
    Try this :
    Install only one kingston module .
    Enter cmos setup and up the memory voltage to 2.0v , and set timings to 5-5-5-15 and 2T-Commandrate , save and exit .
    Now replace the kingston with the OCZ and see what happens .

  • Samsung ram not recognised?

    I have the later revision of the G4 aluminium with 1400x960 screen. Currently it has two 512 MB Samsung DDR2 sodimm modules in it. I replaced these with identical but larger modules (two 1GB Samsumg modules). I get either one or three beeps (no ram/not recognised) depending on the configurations I try. The new ram specs are:
    Samsung 1GB PC5300 SO-DIMM Notebook Memory
    M470T2864EH3-CE6 0839
    Brand: Samsung
    Memory Size: 1024MB DDR2
    Memory Speed: 667MHz PC5300 200 pin
    ECC-register: No
    Memory Type: DDR2
    CONDITION: Brand New
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    First off, I will say good choice on the Samsung, since they are OEM suppliers for Apple, and I only use their RAM in my machines. I find them completely compatible and never had problems. Now, as to why you are having a problem, that is odd. I do know that not all Samsung modules may be compatible... it has to do with the model number / part no.
    The other reason you may have could be the lower RAM slot problem? Just a thought.
    Second, people will tell you that you are using the wrong RAM and that it should be PC4200, but the PC5300 is known to work as well and is fully compatible so that is not the reason for the incompatibility. Crucial lists it on their website as compatible, and at one point, Apple had that part available as an upgrade option on their website (online store) for people who wanted to upgrade the RAM in their DLSD PowerBooks. I also confirmed this when I bought two sticks of PC5300 Samsung RAM pulled from a MacBook and sold by Other World Computing (www.macsales.com) in their clearance section and it worked like a charm in my PowerBook.
    If I had the RAM on hand, I'd give you the exact part no., but I've since parted with my trusty 15-incher and upgraded to a unibody MacBook Pro. But me having a photographic memory of sorts (hey there's a pun there!), the part no. you have listed doesn't look familiar to me. Where did you get your RAM?

  • Can Apple Id fingerprints be set up to recognise different family members, but only allow one to purchase from the app store?

    Wondering if using the Apple ID finger print on the ipad, is there a way to set it up so that parents can set their fingers to be the only ones able to purchase from app store and itunes, but still able to recognise the kids fingerprints to turn on the ipad and play with apps?

    Not currently a function of iOS. However, you could set a restriction on purchases
    using a separate passcode in Restrictions. No one could make a purchase without
    that passcode. But you cannot tie the Restrictions to a single fingerprint or subset
    of fingerprints. Any fingerprint that is registered to open the iPad gives full access to
    all non-restriced apps/functions on the iPad.

  • Ipod has stopped being recognised by windows or itunes. tried everything

    hi
    My ipod 30gb video is no longer being recognised.
    symptoms:
    I plug ipod into the usb cradle
    drive appears in 'my computer'
    itunes 7.2 loads automatically
    ipod has usual 'do not..' message
    ipod screen then brightens with same 'do not..' message then goes back to menu on ipod
    drive dissapears from 'my computer'
    nothing updates and itunes diagnostics say connection has failed. all usb hubs reported in diagnostics are ok.
    I have tried:
    1. resetting ipod
    2. windows /manage/settings/ipod checks
    3. system restore
    4. driver removal of ipod
    5. firmware update removal in itunes directory
    6. ipod lead instead of cradle and other USB ports
    6. everything else suggested on the help and support centre
    the ipod works fine and I can see/hear all music and video on it and the itunes library matches the ipod
    device manager sees the USB device as (0)ipod and says it is working fine
    but the ipod is not being recognised??????
    HELP!!!! please
    thanks

    Thanks! But I actually figured it out! Right after I said something about the driver, I went into device mangager. Sure enough even though it did not show up as a drive letter the device manager said is was installed and working.
    So I deleted the device out of device manager. Restarted and plugged it in. Although I go some weird error. It found the IPOD and now Itunes sees it.
    I believe that killing the process would have done the same thing as you stated.
    Thanks to all for taking the time to answer these issues. It beats the apple store or tech support.

  • ITunes 10.6.3.25 doesn't recognise CDs

    Hi,
    My iTunes always worked perfectly fine until the other day when it stopped recognising my music CDs. When running Diagnostics it says there are no issues and recognises the CD drive but it won't show the CD on the left hand side, under Devices. This means that I cannot import my music normally.
    I have not installed any new programs but I noticed that Roxio had started popping up (I didn't even know I had it installed on my machine and had never used it before) so I uninstalled it. The problem still persists.
    The odd thing is, if I reboot my PC, iTunes will recognise the first CD I put in but will not show any subsequent CD I insert in the drive.
    Any idea of what could be causing the problem and how to fix it? I am running Windows 7, btw. Many thanks!

    Hey thanks for replying.
    Here's what I did:
    First I tried the Winsock reset in the Command prompt. Nothing changed.
    Next, I tried the instructions on http://http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. The only other program that came up on the 'Winsock Providers' tab on the program was 2 Windows Live applications, which I can do without. So I deleted all Windows Live Applications.
    I did the Winsock reset in the Command Prompt again and rebooted my comp.
    Unfortunately, nothing has changed. iTunes keeps freezing at various stages of the sync, then shows the candy cane-striped bar with either the words 'Finishing sync' or 'Cancelling sync', before showing the Apple logo.
    Sometimes, iTunes gets to the syncing stage - "Copying # of ####" - where it will trudge through the first, second and third tracks before flashing "Copying 4 of ####" for a split second and I catch "Cancelling sync" briefly before the Apple logo appears.
    Again, I've repeated the steps I mentioned in my previous post. Does ANYONE know when the new version of iTunes is set to be released?! This one is driving me INSANE, to say the least!!

  • Windows Vista - iTunes not recognising iPod!

    iTunes is not recognising my iPod and the iPod Setup Assistant isn't showing automatically. Can anyone help. I have a new laptop with Window Vista is this operating system the problem? Can help would be appreciated. I can import music into iTunes OK and purchase music from iTunes itself I just can't get iTunes to recognise my iPod!

    > Step 3:Download and install the latest chipset drivers from the laptop manufacturers website.
    >*So here I am with the issue still not resolved. How do i Download and install the latest chipset drivers >in order to have Toshiba Satellite L300 & Microsoft Vista recognise my ipod?
    Install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest home Edit or similar.
    This tool would provide all hardware details about your notebook.
    It would list all devices and chipset name too.
    I think its Intel chipset so you could find the driver on the Intel page

  • IPod 1st Gen Not Recognised or Connecting to anything.

    The story so far...
    I have a 1st Generation iPod Shuffle 512Mb which was bought 2 years ago in an Apple store in Japan. It has been treated well over the years and is used once or twice a week. There have been no issues with it until my current issue this week.
    I decided to give my iPod to a relative and over the weekend plugged in the iPod to the PC (Windows XP - Latest Version) that was to receive the player. The shuffle was recognised and I was challenged by iTunes (Latest Version) that the player was associated with another installation of iTunes. Did I want to transfer to this version of iTunes or did I want to ignore the iPod. I chose to transfer and this is where things came off the rails! The iTunes application closed down in an uncontrolled manner and after a reboot of the machine was in capable of recognising the shuffle.
    I have followed the 5 R's to the letter.
    I have tried to restore from iTunes on Windows XP
    I have tried to restore from iTunes on Mac OS
    I have downloaded and run the Reset Utilities provided on the Apple website.
    I have reset from Windows XP (on two different machines)
    I have reset from Windows XP (having uninstalled iTunes)
    I have reset from Mac OS 10.4.9 - iBook G4
    I have reset from Mac OS 10.4.9 - Powerbook G4
    The utilities see the shuffle and recognise that it is in Restore mode. However the reset fails with a Error Retrieving Information from your iPod message.
    I have read the discussion threads where the advice is to format the iPod however in my case the although I get a mapped drive with a letter (e.g. E:) when I try to access it I get a pop up window asking me to insert a disk..
    I am currently reseting from Windows 2K on a machine that has never had iTunes installed onto it. It has recognised the device.. and is attempting to install the drivers... but I have a sneaking suspicion that it has stalled midway through-- I decided to let the install process keep running while I'm at work just to make sure that it just isn't taking it's own time.
    Has anyone---
    1. Got the same issue?
    2. Got any resolutions that don't involve going to the Apple store and buying a new one?
    (Sorry for the length of the posting but I have done quite a lot of stuff and I need to give you the whole picture).

    There is no conflict either. On one of the machines there were no other installed devices.. and on all other machines the interaction with USB seems fine on both Mac and Windows platforms.
    I have even followed the instructions to re-register the iTunes .dll files with the apple provided bat file. All to no avail.
    What is interesting is that the device is not identified during the restore process with the name that appears on the apple website but instead it is identified as a recovery device player class device.
    I tried the remapping of the driver letter. Bascially the change of letter works fine but there is no storage associated with the letter. So the device is mounted but there is no capacity.

  • Ipod not recognised by Windows, USB device not recognised

    Hi hope someone can help
    I have recently received my ipod back from Applecare who have sent the ipod back in ' working order ' but it will no longer be recognised by my windows. It says USB device not recognised and i cant find, nor will it install drivers that i located on the ipod updater etc.
    I have tried several methods on this forum but none seem to work.
    The letter from mycare says the iPod is formatted for a computer operating Mac OS X. Although i stated wi use Windows. But the leter states this can be changed bu installing the updater, but this wont make a diff as comp still wont regonise the device after i have followed there instructions. Any advice?
    Thanks

  • My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??

    My iPhone 3Gs is now no longer a recognised device on iTunes after I downloaded the new iTunes with iCloud software, but it does recognise my iPad2??
    I run both Mac and a PC and have iTunes on both, which has previously recognised my iPhone. I had updated my Mac with the new iTunes software with iCloud and updated my iPad2 just yesterday. I then wanted to do the same with my iPhone today, but my Mac wouldn't recognise the device so I tried it on my PC, which recognised the phone but told me I needed to update my iTunes and this in turn wanted to update my iPhone software. After completing all this and restarting, my iPhone now shows the iTunes icon with the USB plug pointing towards it, obviously wanting me to plug it in to my computer to re-connect with iTunes, but now neither of my computers recognise my iPhone and my PC states an 'Unknown Device'. My Mac doesn't even see it. Can anyone help as I really need to get my phone working?? Thanks

    Hold down the Home and Power button for 20 seconds. And try to update again.
