BIOS Overclocking, help please!

Hi people! I readed days ago a post where an user wrote a key combination to make this:
Lets supose that you are overclocking and you go too far, so the machine won't boot and you will have to reset BIOS.
This key combination allows you to enter BIOS when this happens, without losing any changes of the o'clocking!!! Awesome!
(I hate going too far and reset the BIOS and make all the settings again and again)
Any1 remembers the key combination??? I can't remember it and I can't find the post again! :(:(
It was something like Shift + F6...
Thanks! Help would be very apreciated! And like I say everytime, sorry for my english!!!

I/O is ridiculously high. I can run Corsair RAM at 2800 on only I/O of 1.09v's, SA 0.970v's. Bernhard is right, '1.52v's' on the CPU is 'Absolute Max.', and the industry recommendation is not to exceed '1.400v's'.
Nominal DRAM V. for the platform is 'not' 1.65v's, but 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. Your RAM sounds like overvolted, undertimed, overated RAM.
GT is the onboard graphics. GT ratio 32 is about all it can handle on default voltage.
It's your stuff, if you want to test higher, the risk to the components and lifespan is all up to you.
I think Bernhard wanted to link the Gen3 CPU datasheet rather than the Gen2.
I found datasheet for third gen of intel core, exact
G.skill ddr3 pc17000 is delivered with nominal voltage 1.65v for 2133Mhz, where is problem ? I've just made 3 hours of occt at 2600mhz, not tested higher for now
So I/o in auto mode is really too high with 1.25V ? so i took this voltage as nominal reference
Not so easy to overclock ivy bridge, I 'll stop to search highest frequency, 4,6Ghz even with 1.36V is not stable in occt with too high core temps 80°C, so sa xmad sayed, 4.5Ghz is a nice overclock
I'll try to optimise DDR speed and timing now.
Thanks for answers

Hi offsmack. As the forum is for users of MSI products, I don't see any specific MSI hardware in your post. The moderators will probably lock this thread.

MSI P45 Neo3-FR..Overclocking help please !

Hi i have a MSI P45 Neo3-FR [v1.0] and have managed to update bios to latest version 1.5 i am having trouble finding my way around the bios in order to overclock. Previously i have owned asus boards and it was pretty straightforward but with this board i cannot seem to have full control over all adjustments i think i could adjust fsb and possibly memory ratio and timings but not Vcore and memory voltages as they are greyed out. On the asus boards you got a dropdown list 1.1v~1.8v etc but i cannot get this option with this board.
My memory is corsair [6400] with cpu-z it seems to have timings correct but voltage should be 1.9 my cpu is a E8200 core speed 2673x8 vcore 1.192v i have disabled speedstep [f4] and spread spectrum and the jumpers are set to 266mhz~333mhz.
Any advice on this much appreciated i don't know if there is a tutorial specific to the msi bios advanced settings and how to enable it or a discription of what msi call the voltages adjustments doesn't seem to be v.core...confused!
King regards all

Thanks for help people i have got a good overclock..well for me I got FSB to 400mhz so my processor was 3.2ghz and memory running at 800mhz with 1:1 ratio and voltage at 1.9.
I did try to go heigher but pc just re-booted 3 times then re-set to optimum i tried a bit more voltage for cpu but it still refused. Funny thing is when i re-did FSB to 400mhz again it booted and ran no bother i checked speed and cpu was again 3.2ghz but ram was 960mhz ... i forgot to re-set ratio back to 1:1 so my ram is running at 1920mhz instead of 1600 testing with prime but i would have thought if its stable i could push cpu further possibly as i know ram can handle a lot more than 800mhz. Is this correct ?

K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Bios settings help please

Please forgive me if I seem a bit stupid, but we all have to start somewhere.
As you can see from my signature although an old socket A set-up this should still perform pretty well when my son plays his games (Age of Empires 3) but the dam thing keeps crashing (back to the desktop) and performace is not what it should be.
I built the pc my self so I am ok to fiddle about with things but I am not as knowalgable as most people on this forum, So I would like someone to help me with some BIOS settings on this board, can anyone recommend some settings that would work well.

Having now read the excellent post by klondike on this board I want to update my bios to the 11.50 (B50) version.
I know about all the dangers of updating your bios but as I am having prob’s with my board and it seems like the B5 bios is better that the B4, I want to update it but I have tried now for 2 hours to update it and I am obviously doing something very wrong and it is doing my head in!
I have read the MSI guide to bios updating and others on this forum but I can’t get anything to even start to work.
I have downloaded and un-zipped the B50 bios update for my board. I have put the unzipped files in a folder in the C: drive I have named “test” I have made a dos floppy and set my bios to 1st boot floppy but when I boot to it at the A prompt you type C: (and enter) and it says bad file or command (I can’t remember which) so I then tried burning the bios files to a cd and once again after booting to the dos there is no option to get it to boot or find the cd drive you just get the A: prompt
I have also tried updating it though live update but live update says the latest version is 11.4 (B4) and that is what my board already has so I can’t update it from there as MSI have not updated their live update page.
I am almost at my wits end and feel like setting light to the dam thing, all I want to do is up date my bios its not that hard I have done it before on other pc’s but I can’t remember how I did it! (thats my age)
Please can someone spare me a few minutes to talk me though this.

GTX580 Twin Frozr II OC BIOS File Help Please

Hii guys! I just got my GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC installed today and I'm really excited but I'm having a bit of a problem.
I've tried flashing the BIOS using the MSI HQ USB Flasher but the program says that the BIOS file I downloaded from the MSI website is not a valid file. Live Update 5 can't seem to detect my motherboard model or BIOS Version and, possibly, as a result does not find any updates for the card. Also, the MSI website mentions an EXE file that's supposed to be in the BIOS file archive, yet there is no EXE file in the archive.
I need to flash the BIOS (?) because my graphics card keeps crashing when playing games. Most times: black screen, followed by the card reverting back to stock speeds. Twice, however, the screen got completely messed up and I had to hard reset the computer. That was when I set the voltage to 1150. And yes, even at stock speeds and the stock voltage (which is how I have the comp running atm), the card crashes.. just after a longer while. It's also not a heat problem because my in-game temps stay around 65ish.
I'm sure the rest of my computer is stable because most of the components have been replaced including the old PSU I had; to a Corsair TX 750W.
I feel like I'm missing something obvious, because flashing the GPU BIOS is new to me.
But, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot Svet! I was able to flash the BIOS without any problems, however I quickly returned to the old BIOS ROM because the graphics card was much more unstable with the "new" BIOS. (Which ironically also has a lower BIOS version number than the one that came with the card). Overclocking at all would really mess up the screen and at stock speeds (800, 1600, 2048) it would crash. I reinstalled Windows (went from 7 Home Premium x64 to 7 Ultimate x64) because it got messed up during some installations I was doing and now... everything's running like butter. :\
After booting it up, I reinstalled all my games and every single one of them runs fine. I still get some really bad FPS in Splinter Cell Conviction, which is upsetting because I was looking forward to maxing it out and playing it at 60.. but whatevs.
I've tested the card also using
Assassin's Creed (From 1 to Revelations)
Battlefield 3
Dragon Age 2
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Crysis 2
Saints Row The Third
NFS Run,
and Arkham City.
The card has a lot of trouble playing Arkham City with Physx on or with any of the DX11 features and I'm surprised I'm getting poor FPS at all in some games because I'm actually only using a 1600x900 display. I'm not complaining because all the other games run maxed out pretty well; and the card seems stable. I was also able to overclock it, which was tricky until I decided not to overclock the memory - so that the Afterburner values are 1150 (voltage), 900, 1800, 2048, 85 (fan). It looks like if I overclock the memory at all the graphics card crashes. Was a tad disturbing as I read that others have gotten better overclocks but... again, the important thing is that it's stable and running well. But, out of curiosity, why can't it overclock higher like others have managed to get it to?
Two questions though:
I'm using Nvidia's 290.36 Beta drivers - is that okay? Or should I only use the drivers from MSI's site?
(To note, I've used all of Nvidia's drivers and they all appear to deliver the same performance across all games. By "all drivers" I mean the 280.26, 285.62, 285.79, as well as the 290.36.)
How long is the standard warranty on this card?
Again, thanks Svet for pointing me in the right direction. :D
I'm even more excited now for SW: The Old Republic.
Aphax my GPU's serial number is "602-V255-060B1107208512" - why do you ask though?

BIOS Update help, please?

I just updated my processor from an AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 to an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+ and it isn't being recognized as a dual core processor in Windows. Everything else is working fine except for that. As I understand it, I need to update the BIOS to correct that.
I've been reading here and the MSI instructions and there seems to be several sets of instructions for flashing the BIOS most of which directly conflict with each other with instructions about extracting the BIOS file to a floppy or extracting it to the HD? Booting with a Win98 floppy or boot with a WinXP-prepared MS DOS floppy (I don't have any Win98 machines nor do I have any friends with win98 machines)? Using WinFlash? Setting jumpers (I don't see jumpers on my board Guide)?
I would so appreciate it if it were possible to get a single, coherent, set of instructions for flashing the BIOS so I don't completely hose my system?
I have overclocked or done anything else unusual. I do have RAID drives in 0+1 configuration and everything is formatted to NTFS, if that matters.
Hopefully everything else is in the signature. If other information is needed, please just ask.
Thanks!

Here some differant choises for boot-disks ( for example win98 floppy )
http://www.bootdisk.com/
I´ve had no failures using std. DOS update.
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/ntfs.htm
but as you say....there are more ways in doing it.

PS.Edit. Live update is not recommended, because higher rate of failures.

**New User** Memory, PCI Express, BIOS Need Help Please

So, I just got my mobo installed and now I am having some troubles. First, my specs:
AMD Phenom 9850BE
Corsair XMS 1066 Dominator series 5-5-5-18 2.1v
MSI HD3870 800mhz edition
Antec 1000w psu.
Asus Xonar DX sound card
Vista Business 64bit
RAM Location:
Do I follow the colors (Green -DIMM1 and DIMM3, Orange - DIMM2 and DIMM4) or do I put them D1+D2, D3+ D4? Logically I would follow the colors, but the handbook says to use D1+D2, etc. Also, I set my mobo timings of the RAM to 1:2.66 so it would run at 1066mhz. I set the voltage to 2.1v and got a bsod. But this is the way to change the RAM settings right?
Graphics Card Setup:
Right now I have my gfx card in the Teal/Light blue PCIe slot. Is this the mazarine color they describe? Also I plan on putting an HD4870 to crossfire with my 3870 once they come out, do I put that in the other Teal/Light blue PCIe slot? I do not know if this will fit that way, the USB/E1394 cables might be in the way, which would really upset me. Can anyone put a card on the first darker blue slot? The pipelines are in the way for me.
BIOS:
I do not know what version I have and if it is up to date. I tried LiveUpdate 3 to see if it was updated, but it kept giving me a "Services not started" or "cannot start service" error over and over.
eSATA:
I tried hooking up my eSATA external hard drive and it didnt work. I have to enable the onboard Raid controller option in the BIOS. I do not use RAID so I disable it, and I hate hate the startup check it has when booting. How do I work around this?
Thank you for your help, I know that this is probably somewhere hidden within the forums, but I really need to get this thing going and am trying to set up other things and never really find the specific answers I am looking for. Thanks again guys.

I do not know how to tell what version it is. I believe it is a MS-7376 Ver 1.0. I just bought it from newegg maybe 2 weeks ago. MSI CPU support says that it supports 9850BE 125W CPU. I upgraded to the 1.4 BIOS version. What do I do?
The gfx situation isn't pretty. I wanted to go Crossfire, but I doubt that will happen. I cannot get my card into the top darker blue pci-e slot due to the pipelines being in the way. Currently I have my card in the lower lighter teal blue color, which I guess is the PCIe 8x slot. Newegg said they were 16x for all of them and then 8x if they were in Quad CF. Oh, I also have a PCIe 1x Sound Card that is right under the first dark blue PCIe. So I cannot put the card up top at all. The other lighter teal blue PCIe slot is on the bottom of the motherboard and will not have any place to put a double cooler slot GFX card into it. So, the only way I can go crossfire is if I put the Light Teal Blue 8x slot with a Card directly under it in the Darker blue 16x slot.

[Athlon64] Overclocking Help

if you have a MSI motherboard look on the driver cd. maybe you can find corecenter. if you cant find it. use clockgen for increasing HTT bus speed, A64tweaker for regulating anything that has to do with memory, and use a program like speedfan or smartguardian to control your fans and temps. good luck.

Bios corrupted, help please!

Hello,
I have downloaded the latest version of BIOS firmware from Toshibas website. I checked it clearly with the model nr and serial nr. I went to the nordic site of bios update and downloaded the latest driver and BIOS.
My laptop is Satellite P200-1A2 and the serial nr is PSPB6E-02J023N5. From Toshibas website, I downloaded all the necessary drivers and bios. I started out with the installation of BIOS, when I tried to install it, then my pc froze. My power supply was on. The fan went all beserk and the screen was all frozen. I tried to let it work for 30 min, since I was afraid to interupt the installation. I couldn't wait more, so I turned the pc off by taking out the battery and power. When I then tried to turn on the laptop, nothing happens. All black screen.
Can anyone help? I did use the correct BIOS driver from Toshiba's own homepage, but apparently it didn't work. How can I restore the BIOS? I'm not sure what BIOS that I use. When I hold down Fn + B, and turn on the power, then all fans become crazy and DVD/HD ROM is also on.

This must be Toshibas responsibility, since their own BIOS firmware crashed my pc. I don't want to spend money, I have already spend enought money for this old laptop alone. So I think it would be a pity, if I have had to pay for reparing my laptop.
I followed this procedure prescisely from : http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/870-Bios-Recovery-Procedures?p=26249#post26249
1. Use HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool with MiniDOS files to make your Bootable:USB Flash Drive (Flash Drive works in rear cases).
1: Worked perfect to make a USB flash drive, but what do you mean about Rear cases? You mean rare cases insted of rear? And I don't have a diskdrive, so how can I make an image file with boot, so I can add them on CD?
2. Copy all the files from Rescue to your: USB Stick
2one
3. Rename your BIOS file to bios.wph and copy it to your: USB Stick
3: I downloaded the same BIOS firmware and downloaded as EXE file, I extracted exe file and found a file called .ROM and I renamed the entire file into bios.wph
4. Remove the battery, unplug the computer from the power.
4: Done
5. Hold down: Fn+B and while holding plug the computer in to power (do not plug the battery) and pres the power button.
5: Done
6. Now you should hear the flopy drive working, hold the keys for a while and then let go.
6: I don't have a floppy drive but a HD/DVD/CD drive and that is working but with my USB flash drive, nothing happens
7. Leve the computer for at least 10 min. and if the computer does not restart it self turn the power down.
7: Nothing happens, I sense that it is not even reading the USB drive. So after 30 min, it still on and doing nothing
8. Plug the battery and the power sorce and if everything went OK the computer shold start normaly.
Note: This procedure is for Phoenix BIOS`es only and in some cases the USB Stick might not work.
8: Yes, the USB stick doesn't work, but how can I use create a bootable image file? And what are the steps for that? I don't have a floppy drive, most PC now a days doesn't use floppy drive.

HT1848 songs gone after moving itunes. Help please

My hard drive was failing on my old laptop. I got a new laptop, and transfered all of my library to it. it transfered all except 2 songs and several apps. they were gone because of the hard drive damage. any way i can re download them?

If they are still in the store then you should be able to re-download the apps via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (or the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your phone) - you may also be able to re-download those tracks that way (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), and/or the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone

Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
resetpassword
Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.
