MOVED: 975x platinum board and usb microphones

First two are easy. 
#1.  There is a mistake in the official bios that shuts off usb support.  Flash to one of the modded bios you will see in this index if you want X2 cpu support and usb support. There are numerous current threads about this.  I suggest flashing with winflash like this:

with something fromthis:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=59711.0
#2.  That message is harmless and everybody gets it above ver. 1.8.
#3, 4 & 5.  After you flash correctly (checking the clear cmos box in winflash, etc.), let's see what problems remain, but it would help if you gave us your full system specs for your psu with brand and amps on 3.3, 5 AND 12 volt rail(s) etc.

  • MSI 975X Platinum POE and 6-pin power connection

    Hi,
    I have seen a number of topics somewhat related to my problem, but I am still unsure.
    I have an MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition main board, and I recently bought a NorthQ 4775-500S power supply to replace my current Hiper HPU-4M580. A good PSU, but too noisy for my taste.
    Anyway, when installing the NorthQ PSU, I noticed that it has a 6-pin connector, I think it is a PCI-e connector. The main board, however, has an 8-pin connector, called JPW in the manual:
    "The JPW 12V power connector is used to provide power to the CPU" 
    The 6-pin plug from the PSU seems to fit nicely in the 8-pin connector. After reading some other posts, I started to remember that 4 pins of the JPW connector were indeed blocked by a removable plastic chip, which I did remove to make room for the 8-pin plug from my previous PSU.
    So, I think I can use the 6-pin plug in the 8-pin socket, but I want to ask you guys first; Will this be correct and safe, or should I get a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter, or even a 6-pin to 4-pin adapter?
    Thanks in advance!

    "The 6-pin plug from the PSU seems to fit nicely in the 8-pin connector"
    No don't do that.
    If your PSU don't have 8pin power cable for the CPU, use the 4pin power cable instead:
    But do NOT connect PCI-E power cable(6 pin) in CPU power socket.

    i have an ati radeon 1950xtx in my first pcie slot and the arc 1220 (sata raid)in the second pcie slot.
    i dont see the card in bootup, already installed bios 7.7
    tried the card in an other sytem works fine
    also installed the latest firmware on the arc-1220 card
    anyone have an idea which bios i should try

    can you see the card in windows if you boot off the on-board controller?
    I know Intel boards are picky with RAID controller cards.  If the Intel RAID is enabled then a lot of add-on cards won't work.  Also, even with Intel RAID disabled some still won't work.  I had to flash my SiI 3132 RAID card to non-RAID for it to work as a boot device.
    I've had my system not even post at all when both RAIDS are enabled.  But if I get a post and it boots from the Intel side, it always sees the add-on RAID card.
    Also, do you have the latest BIOS?  Hopefully that will fix the issue.
    Myself, I have the ARC-1210 controller and have NOT had any issues on my 975, 965, P35, or X38 boards.  However, only the X38 board has allowed my card to run at full speed.  The other chipsets run the 2nd PCIe X16 slot at only X4.  It seems it's too slow for the controller to work properly, or there is some issues still.  But my X38 boards run great.  I get over 300MB/s with my 4 x 150MB Raptors in RAID0.
    Good luck

  • 2 Problems with the Ipad Air...midi keyboard and usb microphone

    IN SHORT:
    2 Problems with the Ipad Air...what midi keyboard will connect to the lightning camera connector and what microphone as well?  There seems to be issues with the ipad air not being able to power them.  Has anyone got any devices to work yet?
    IN DEPTH:
    I have a yeti microphone that when I plug in it says its using too much power.  A little samsung go mic I have plugs in find and works but isnt quite what im looking for.  My midi keyboard is not reading...its probably 15yrs old (didnt expect it to work).  I have ordered a usb powered keyboard but im now nervous it may not work if it requires too much power.  Has anyone had any success with a particular model of keybaord?  I saw a youtube video of the CME Xkey in which it was plugged into an ipad that uses the lightning jack, but was unsure if it was the air or a different model.
    Any help is appreciated on this...I love my ipad air and hoping to make it my fully functional music recording device.
    By the way I mostly use garageband

    hey mate
    Yes what I ended up doing is buying a powered usb hub.  They are about 10 dollars or so on amazon.com.   There are tons to choose from.  I use a yeti micrphone now with no issues and a midi keyboard.  You will need the lightning usb adapter too.  You plug the lightning adapter into the ipad and the hub into the adapter then plug all your accessories into the powered hub.  So it works well you just gotta buy an extra piece of equipment.

    Gadgets,
    Before you update your BIOS please do following:
    1- Insure that you do not have older legacy USB peripherals (V 1.X) plugged in next to your Ipod 2.0 USB connection.  Pluging in a USB 1.x connector next to a USB 2.0 connector can drag all transfers to the lowest USB 1.x transfer rate.
    2- Do not guess at your USB transfwer rate. Download Sandra Lite 2005 (SR3) from Sisoftware here (it's free): http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=177
    once you done so install it and use the File System Benchmark program to find out exactly what your Ipod USB connection is achieving in MB/s. A USB 2.0 connection should give you a 32 or greater MB/s transfer rate.
    3- Don't MESS with your BIOS UNTIL YOU are absolutely sure of the procedures to follow.  Here is some reference links:

  • Windows XP install fails on new 975X Platinum board

    I recently bought the following components:
    MSI 957x Platinum motherboard
    Intel Core 2 Duo chip
    Geforce 6800XT PCI Express card
    Antec Case and 450W power supply
    Pioneer CD/DVD ROM
    Western Digital 250GB SATA drive
    Corsair DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) (2 1GB)
    The voltages:
    +5V      5.09V
    +12V    15
    Memory Voltage 2.0
    FSB & Memory Clock Ratio: 1:1
    Current FSB clock: 266x9.0
    CPU FSB freq: 266MHz
    Mem clock: 533MHz
    I have the SATA hard drive on SATA 1 and the CD/DVD drive as master on the secondary IDE port.  The system starts and goes in BIOS, and I set the system to boot from CD-ROM first.
    I copied the SATA drivers from the CD that came with the MSI board to a floppy.
    The system starts the XP SP2 install process, and I hit F6 so it loads the SATA drivers.
    It starts loading everything, including the SATA drivers, and it finishes the loading, and says "Starting Windows" but then it always fails with a "A problem has been detected..." error.  And it just says:
    STOP: 0X0000007B ( 0XF7CAE524, 0XC0000034)
    I have tried various configurations in the BIOS relating to IDE and SATA, and I always get this same error.
    I also just tried upping the mem voltage to 2.1, but I get the same error.
    I have tried the memory, CPU, and video card in another, working computer with XP SP2 and it works fine.
    This is my first MSI product.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I was just reading up on AHCI settings on the other post and saw this.
    Here is an excerpt from wikipedia:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHCI
    "Enabling AHCI in a system BIOS will spawn a 0x7B BSoD STOP error on installations of Windows XP where AHCI/RAID drivers for that system's chipset are not installed. Switching to AHCI requires installing new drivers before changing BIOS settings. Some later versions of Windows XP Service Pack 2 include limited AHCI/SATA support"
    Sounds like you need to set your Intel SATA ports to NOT AHCI (Raid if you have a couple of drives or enhanced if you only have one). Also, do NOT load up the SATA drivers from your floppy disk.
    The process you described is an attempt to use AHCI for your HDD, which btw some forum gurus
    here do not recommend since it does not give any significant advantage:

    Well my floppy drive def works becuase Im flashing bios right now(I'm typing on my laptop). 
    I didn't recieve a floppy disk with my board so I had to copy files off of MSI disk. Here is what I have done thus far in chronological order.
    1. Create raid array by following steps in manuel. (succesful)
    2. Format floppy, copy raid driver from msi cd path: ide/intel/Ich7R/floppy/32 onto floppy.
    3. set boot priority to cd rom, floppy, harddisk
    4. boot to windows setup and press f6 when prompted
    5. insert floppy with raid driver when asked "please insert disk labeled Manufacter-supplied hardware support disk" then press enter
    6. says please wait... in bottom left corner for approx 6 sec then the page "please insert disk labeled Manufacter-supplied hardware support disk" comes up again and this keeps happening everytime I press enter.
    Tech support sent me a bios update file titled 7246 v715. If I'm not mistaken this would be the latest one. Well I extracted contents too floppy but when I got into dos it said blinking...  source file not found. SO I restarted. And Im gonna try flashing 714 now.

    This is a test to see how far I can push my RAM, not the CPU! Therefore I have to use dividers
    Ok, listen up. Bios 7.16 seems to have fixed for me the problem I had when running dividers 3:4 (1.33 bios setting), 2:3 (1.5) and 3:5 (1.66).
    I did some testing earlier with the 2:3 divider/ratio too keep my FSB low so that I can push the RAM beyond my previous 470Mhz at 4:5 (1.25). Anyway, with a combination of clockgen and memset I can get DDR-1120 at reasonable ram timings...
    ** Click to enlarge **
    ** Click to enlarge **
    Once again I encounter the dreaded 375Mhx FSB wall on my mobo so at the moment I can't push my RAM any further than 560Mhz with 2:3. I would use the 1:2 divider but there's a problem. The lowest the FSB can be set to is 266Mhz. With a 1:2 divider that means that RAM has to boot at 533Mhz. The SPD setting for tRD (read delay) is too tight for 533Mhz with my RAM and so it won't boot. If the bios engineers could just add options to adjust the rest of the RAM timings beyond the basic 4 then I'd be able to relax the TRD before boot and use the 1:2 divider.
    Seeing as I can't clock my CPU or RAM any higher due to the 375Mhz FSB limit I'm gonna put in the other 2Gb of the same ram, install WinXP 64Bit and see how 4Gb can overclock compared to 2Gb on this mobo

    Firstly thanks for the quick reply!
    In my experience PCI-E speeds effect stability, sometimes raising just past 100MHz actually increases stability.
    AMD OverDrive seems to have a few limits (unless its user error) whereby it limits the voltage I can use, max of 1.35 which isn't enough. I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?
    Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D
    Thanks in advance.
    " I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?"
    simply install it and go and see
    "Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
    "Is that bios tested?"
    some users is using it, without problems if you asking that.
    "If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
    maybe yes, maybe no.. BIOS flashing is always risky, if you decide to use it do it at own risk.
    else just be patient and wait for official version.

    I'm fully aware of the difference on EIST and C1E.
    Quote
    The issue I had with EIST was that I had to clear CMOS in order to actually get it disabled (just booting to BIOS and setting it to disabled changed nothing what so ever).
    If EIST is disabled and C1E is enabled, the multiplier is still reduced when the system is IDLE. You did not say anything about C1E in your first post and even in you reply you have not told us if you made sure if C1E was disabled as well.  As I said before, since in effect, C1E does the same thing as EIST (multiplier and VCore adjustment), even if EIST was disabled, you probably thought it was still working, but what you saw working was not EIST but C1E.  Clearing CMOS did not solve an "EIST-is-still-working-even-though-it-is-disabled-problem", but actually only forced C1E to be set to disabled by default.  The bottom line is, there never was a problem in the first place.
    Quote
    Bottom line: The BIOS allows for adjustment of the Vcore, only it does not seem to be happening. The simple question is: why?
    What have I missed?
    What you are decribing is a know problem with BIOS v1.4.  It was fixed right after it became obvious.  All newer BETA BIOS Releases do not have this problem (1.5b1-1.5b6).

    Yeeees, now it works !

    Spread Spectrum disable
    Remark: C1E was removed in BIOS 7.4 (official)
    But it worked for me with this version.
    Without changing the voltages, I did not reach a higher FSB than before.
    So I set the CPU to 1,37V and the memory to 2,1V.
    Result: I was able to increase the FSB up to 340MHZ, at 345 Windows freezes (tested with 2 instances of Prime95 and ClockGen). For me this result is sufficient, I only want to use 333MHZ FSB, because of my memory. Although some users report that they reach 400MHZ FSB without raising the voltages for CPU and memory.
    Now I will find out, if I can lower the voltages.....
    Many thanks for your tips and ideas !!!
    I hope that these settings will help someone else. I was quite sure that I used them before, but obviously not in this combination.
