polishedcar are you overclocking in bios ?
where are you getting stuck at with your fsb ?
what are your voltages at for your current overclock ?
Yes, I'm overclocking in BIOS. Not quite sure what you mean by your second part, but basically I can up to 1333.33 FSB and then after that if I boot up it still reads as 1333.33 FSB, but the BIOS says the correct FSB that I overclocked to. I reverted back to 1333.33 FSB (3GHz with Q6600) for now so I don't have the voltages for the higher overclocks, 3GHz runs fine and stable though.
I don't think it's software and I'm 90% sure EIST is disabled.
EDIT: I seemed to have fixed it! I disabled "Spread Spectrum" and it worked! As a test, I tried 1350 FSB and CPU-Z reads it correctly.

  • Can't overclock past 1333.33 FSB with P7N SLI Platinum [FIXED]

    I was told it was an FSB hole but it doesn't seem like one anymore. I tried two different amounts, 1440 and 1500 FSB and changes the voltages accordingly (obviously). I can boot up to the operating system and everything but when I open up CPU-Z and other programs my FSB is at 1333.33. The BIOS doesn't tell me this however. Why isn't it working?

  • Overclocking with P7N SLI Platinum and Q6600

    Right now, it's "somewhat" stable at 3.6 GHz.
    Here are my voltages:
    CPU 1.4v
    Memory 2.0v
    FSB VTT 1.4v
    NB 1.4v
    After about 20 minutes in Vista and doing superPI I get a BSOD.
    Can anyone tell me what I should raise for it to be completely stable?
    By the way, I get 57 C under full load.
    EDIT: I raised my CPU voltage, FSB, and NB voltage up one step. Has been running for an hour now and have run SuperPI various times and 3DMark06. I don't particularly like Prime95/Orthos but I may try it later.
    Max temperature - 62C (one core, others 58C)
    Idle - 48C

    Update:
    Seems completely stable with these voltages
    1.44 CPU
    1.450 FSB VTT
    1.44 NB
    Temperatures are about the same
    48 Idle
    60ish Under full load
    How long do you guys think this CPU will last me at these temps? Should I be concerned about anything? Also, I scored 17,676 in 3DMark06.
    Run Prime95 ver 25+ on small ffts for about 20 mins and watch your temps. (a "true" full load on all 4 cores) If you stay under 65c on that the chip will be fine 24/7 (but to be honest I don't think your gonna be close to low 60s under a real full load with a 48c idle)

    that is even better for an air cool,    by the way did you increase the memory freq manually or it was increased as you increased fsb?? ??? cheers
    Once again a slight manual tweak on the FSB and Memory settings and I can now getting it stable running at 3.66Ghz (Air Cooled)
    Temps 37c idle to 46c running UT3 (running for about an hour)
    I'm running the Memory Voltage at 2.10v, everything is stable no problems, no crashes or BSOD,
    The OCZ SLI Edition Memoryboards seems to handling it well..
    Memory is clocked at 966Mhz, this seems to be the highest I can take it, any higher and Quake3 Demo locks and it says driver fault..
    This seems to be the most stable overclocking setting I can reach so far..
    Maybe a increase on the CPU or FSB,NB voltages might gain me a few more higher freq settings..
    BIOS Settings
    And from 764fps on Q3 Demo Test at 1280x1024 running at 3.54Ghz
    To   796.9 fps  at the same Screen Res running at 3.66Ghz

  • P7N SLI Platinum Unstable with over 2GB ram and/or dual channel memory on.

    Hello need some help or to report something to MSI regarding blue screens, freezes when booting Vista 64 (SP1 + all fixes installed) with more then 2GB ram.  Single channel mode works (either 1 stick of 2 GB or 3 sticks of 2GB) and is rock stable.  Booting with 2 x 2 or 4 x 2 yields instability and blue screens. 
    I read over Microsoft's hotfix KB929777 however it appears this patch was applied during SP1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 - when I attempted to apply this hotfix I got the message this update does not apply to your system.
    Memory tested in other gaming system using 4 sticks of G.Skill 1066 DDR2 ram and still have the same issues.  Other forums like Evga.com, Tom's hardware and 411overkill.com tend to suggest some problem with this new bios version 2.0, written by Nvidia.  Some others mention possibly an Nvidia nforce driver issue. 
    Therefore, under duress during testing - with 1 stick or 3 sticks of ram, all tests perfect and passes all stability tests, good marks in Sandra, plays any game.  With 2 or 4 sticks of ram, very unstable won't stay up but for seconds. 
    Any ideas?  (Tested 7 ways until Sunday!)
    My other rig, rocks solid and stable with Vista 64....  It's the Evga new mainboard 780i with triple SLI (132-CK-NF78-A1), 8gb of Gskill 1066ddr2, MSI 8800GT (x2 sli mode) Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz - Raid 0 on dual WD caviar 640 gb/sata 3.0gb/sec.  Seasonic 700w p/s.  8gb of memory and not a hiccup.  Ram 2.0 volts, cpu @ 1.36v.  Will handle the memory from both systems with out fault. 
    Considering I can swap memory back and forth and confirm it's not the sticks, swap graphics boards (own 3 of them!) and rule out that....
    Fyi.  Any help is appreciated! 

    Dump question, but have you pickup the correct update e.g. for 64bit? ==> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=91672C7C-614B-404C-850C-377541E93C18&displaylang=en
    "This comes inside SP1 for vista 64, as noted with my other system during the build. "
    Better double check it.
    Install all four memory sticks and do a memory check with >>Memtest86<< 1st, ensure that no error(s) will comes during testing.
    Also how about that?:

    Remove your OC then see how its goes.
    "When the system boots in single channel mode (only 2 or 6gb of ram meaning 1 or 3 sticks installed into the 4 slots) its' rock stable.  When it boots into dual channel mode (2 x 2 sticks or 2 x 4 sticks) extemely unstable. "
    That means, timings are too tight, or they need a bit more vcore help, or some of the memory stick has failure.

    That BIOS is not for your board, you should use 1.xx

  • Problem with my p7n sli platinum

    Hello,
    i just bought the P7N SLI Platinum for my new system and use an old ATI X1800XT as my gpu.
    after finished installing all the hardware,then i tried to install a fesh copy of windows xp...
    the problem is, every time my computer tried to login into the windows.. a blue screen will appear..
    i suspect the problem is due to the x1800xt..therefore i tried to use it with my old intel motherboard but it can login into windows perfectly well..
    does anyone know what the cause of this problem? is it because i'm using ati card with nvidia chipset?
    please everyone help me!!

        * There is insufficient disk space on the drive on which you installed Windows.
        * There is an outdated or incompatible third-party driver (or drivers) installed on your computer -- for example a faulty video driver.
        * There are system BIOS incompatibilities.
    Finally, my system is now working perfectly but I'm still not sure what is the cause for all of this madness. 
    I didn't change any of the hardware or the drivers.
    I don't think this is because of the insufficient disk space because after many series of failure with this board, I have tried to install a fresh windows copy using the same hard drive with my previous motherboard and everything seems to be running smoothly...it could finish the installation process..and safely loading into windows...
    Then when I tried with this board again, still no improvement at all...i tried again..again...and again...until i was frustrated enough to made some random changes in the bios settings and FINALLY...it works!!..
    I have no idea what were the changes that I've made in the bios...maybe it was just my luck....but I do notice the change in my cpu vcore..before this, it was running at 3.0GHz with default vcore of 1.080v...but now, the default vcore has suddenly changed to 1.250v with the same frequency of 3.0Ghz...and I couldn't find any way to return the voltage back as before..is this normal? I thought E8400 with E0 stepping should have lower vcore...isn't it?

  • MSI P7N SLI Platinum - no POST, how to use Floppy BIOS upgrade

    Component Summary:

    Same problem is occurring as outlined in the following threads:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119615.0
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120513.0
    I've carried out the same out-of-box tests indicated in 119615.0 without success.
    Question:
    Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use? If yes, kindly outline the necessary steps to be carried out and please point me to the correct BIOS upgrade link for this configuration. If all else fails, MOBO can be exchanged but if BIOS can be upgraded via this method, I prefer this approach. I don't have access to an alternative CPU, so that approach is far less than ideal. Thanks for your assistance.

    Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use?
    Yes, in theory it is possible to try an AMI BIOS Recovery Flash. However, in case their are other problems that are not visible because of the current problem, it is rather risky.  If there is a memory problem or something similar that is currently undetected, the system may crash during flashing and your board will be rendered useless.
    Quote
    f yes, kindly outline the necessary steps
    What you need:
    - you need an internal floppy drive (properly connected to the board and 100% intact)
    - you need an empty & formated floppy disk (make sure you check it for errors before you use it)
    - you need a PS/2 Keyboard
    What you have to do:
    - download the latest BIOS-Archive file from here:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
    - extract the BIOS File (e.g. A7380NMS.120), rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM [not AMIBOOT.120.ROM] and copy it to the floppy disk
    - insert the prepared floppy disk into the floppy drive attached to the P7N SLI Platinum and Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
    - start the system and hit CTRL + HOME to force the system into recovery mode
    If that does not work, try a different floppy drive & disk.  Don't complain is the system crashes during flashing if the recovery flash starts (system stability is your responsibility).
    If you can't get the recovery routine to start and read the AMIBOOT.ROM file from the floppy disk, you need to install a supported processor.

  • New P7N SLI Platinum Boot Issue with PS/2 Keyboard [Solved but RAID problem now]

    This issue taken me back !!!! Never thought I might face issue with a PS/2 Keyboard.
    Here it is.. I just assembled my new system...
    P7N SLI Platinum Motherboard
    E8400 CPU
    EVGA 256-P2-N751-TR GeForce 8600 GT Video Card
    Creative Soundblaster Audio Card
    So, before I boot, I connected good old PS/2 Keyboard. The POST Screen comes up that says Press DEL to enter BIOS Setup... but then, it reboots.. indefinitely... I have no idea why it does that. However, if I boot the PC with no PS/2 Keyboard connected, POST screen comes up and that's it.. (no reboot). So, you see, I cannot proceed further in anyway.... I cannot go beyond POST without a keyboard, but then with the keyboard it reboots indefinitely... kinda catch 22 situation
    Any suggestion / ideas that anyone can offer here???

    Hello Folks... it took long time to "solve the issue that had to begin with"....
    I purchased a cheapo Celeron processor to get into  the BIOS and update it... but it didn't even work... I couldn't boot at all. So, I called MSI and they asked me to RMA it. They replaced my MOBO with the latest BIOS - which was good news
    So, now, I'm able to boot  - good news...
    Now, this is an upgrade for me.... from my previous MOBO. My boot drive was RAIDed (RAID 0). So, now, I will have to RAID my drives again and run Win XP repair. I was able to RAID my drives and all good... now, I went into Windows installation and did F6 to install NVIDIA Raid.... but, here is my problem, when the prompt asks me to input the floppy drive, and when I did it.... it re-prompts me to put the floppy drive again... I see that the floppy drive is read... but, for some reason it doesn't detect the files in there properly....  I downloaded nVidia C72+MCP55 SATA RAID / AHCI Driver (For floppy driver) for windows xp 32-bit and copied the sataraid folder contents into the floppy. Now, here I am stuck again....
    Anybody experienced this problem?

    Try with mem settings auto and only adjust Vdimm to vendorspecs.
    Did you try BIOS V1.1 from MSI : http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
    This did solve some memory issues.
    If so try, if you can, QVL memory and see if problem persists.
    Hope this helps  , good luck and keep us posted   
    Also be sure that your on manual and not linked, this will give problems too, when fsb divider gets higher then memory divider.
    Furthermore, by using non qvl mem, the NB and fsb vtt are very depending on eachother.
    I had the same with my board  , the only difference with yours is the cirque pipe cooling and an extra chip for yorkfield support  , but it is do-able

  • Help with ram slots on MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM

    rig config:
    MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM (MS-7380)
    bios version: 1.3v
    Q6600 quard core 2.66GHz
    Zotac modded 9800GTX+ amped version
    2x2 Gb DDR2 800MHz Kingston
    500 watt (absolute) power supply (taken form an old HP workstation)
    windows 7 X64
    Everything's on stock setting
    Its been almost 1 & 1/2 years since i bought this rig, and from first month itself i have been having problem with the ram. The problem is not with the sticks, its with the ram slots. There are different things that happen. Sometimes when i boot my system:
    1) either, it wont start, i.e. no boot screen.
    2) It will load upto windows startup screen, crash and restart in an infinite loop.
    3) It will load windows, then crash after sometime.
    4) If i run any memory diagnostic, it will give errors.
    At these times, i take out my 2 ram sticks, tinker with them, place them in different combination of ram slots, try push them in, in a certain way, keep trying until it yields and it boots up again ( generally a process of 1/2 an hr to an hr). After this my system will work fine ( no errors on any memory diagnostic) and boot properly for a week or 2, maybe even a month, but then again the same problem happens. I know for sure that there is no problem with my dimms (have checked them in other system and they work fine), its something to do with ram slots, or memory bus-controller structure.
    Recently the problem happened again, though my tinkering didn't help. My system only boots up if i place any of the ram sticks in the 3rd slot (the 1st orange one). It wont work for any other slot and neither will it work if i place both of the sticks together. I have tried resetting my bios as well cmos settings, but it has not helped. My mb is still in warranty, but if i give it for repair, it will be gone for a good month or so, which doesn't go well with me. If someone has any suggestions, or a way out, it will be highly appreciated. Please help!

    yes the psu has a single +12v rail with 21A rating, but somehow i don't feel the problem is because of it. When my system successfully boots, it works properly. I can play or work on high performance softwares for any number of hours without fail, which ought not to happen if the psu is bad.
    Hmm, you are ignoring the possibility that your PSU is "flaky" (that's a technical term)!!!! You've never had any gizmo where "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work"?
    If you don't want to buy a new PSU then at least beg-borrow-steal another one and see if your symptoms change.

    DDR2-1250 is an overclocking rating.  The memory modules should run fine @DDR2-800.  Maybe you can stably overclock the modules to higher speeds, however, nobody can really guarantee you that those sticks will be able to operate @DDR2-1250 (625 MHz) on this board/chipset.

  • Having a hard time OC'ing my Q6600 on the P7N SLI platinum!!

    Well, first of all, I am new here, so hello to you all guys! 
    I just purchased the p7n yesterday. I had a P6N SLi-V2 before and wasn't able to get over the 3.0 GHz (stable)! I thought the P7N will a much better overclocker but find myself having a really hard time get it over 3.0 GHz again!?
    Tried different versions of the bios (1.0,1.1,P04 and now 2.0) with no succes! Maybe anyone can help me out here and maybe share some bios setup? Will really appreciate it

    Man, this turns out  to be like a disaster :S:S I tried everything and now it won't even be stable @ 3.0 GHz with vcore 1.35, vram 2.2, fsb vtt 1.45, nb 1.4 and SB 1.5 (random reboots like crazy!). I have the intention to get some better OC's going from a p6n sli v2 to this board and it's even doing WORSE??????? The only weakpoint I can think about is my single stick 2GB TakeMS pc6400, but I never go over the stock speed of 800 MHz, so can that still be a bottleneck even at stock speed or even lower?
    Any help will be welcome...
    I found out the hard way.........if you are not running memory from the QVL  list with this mobo, you will have problems with it. I was running mine with team xtreem 3-3-3-8 microns and all I had was errors and corruption when I overclocked. I had to reformat and switch back to the performance bios and now running corsair dominators 3-4-3-9 and this is the first set that can run at 1200 mhz at 5-5-5-18 2T 2.2 v with the fsb at 1600. I 'm using an E8400. I have read that using non approved memory and this board will not overclock properly.  The only non approved memory that works in my system is geil ultra 8000's and these are the originals running D9GCT's. For stability you should try OCZ, Corsair, Mushkin, Buffalo, Kingston. I have also had problems with crucial ballistix as I've found most of there modules are in someway defective and or not compatible with MSI and have rma multiple sets. I have a previous post going from P6N FI to P7N and have listed all the  memory that I have tried on this board. OCZ and corsair work the best and geil can be used but will not oc past 1142 mhz with stability. I think after a few bios updates this board will be able to use more different types of memory without stability issues.

  • MSI P7N SLI Platinum and OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition

    Hello,
    I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum nForce 750i SLI motherboard and I would like to inquire if it is fully compatible with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition memory? Firstly, I do not seem to get the correct timings with the default settings, speed is not very good, after 5 hours of running Memtest86+ there was 30 errors. I have never had the memory crash and games seem to run fine, but the memory feels much slower than it should be. Is the memory supposed to work fine with this motherboard and I'm just imagining everything? I don't know if I'm also supposed to be worried by the errors Memtest86+ returned?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    If memtest returned errors, yes 
    Well, there does not have to be a problem with the memory just because it returned errors. There could be many other explanations why there are errors.

    Jacobl, please post full system specs.  Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of the details you should provide.
    How many modules of what capacity do you have?  What are your current RAM-related BIOS settings?
    If you have more than one stick of RAM, please test each stick seperately with memtest86+ and see if the errors are caused by one of the sticks only.  Otherwise there is no way to tell if there is a compatibility problem or just a faulty memory stick.
    Please post a link to the OCZ product site and also a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" tab.
    I have this memory: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_sli_ready_edition_4gb_dual_channel.
    This is the rest of the components as instructed by the forum post you linked to:
    Intel E8200
    MSI P7N SLI Platinum
    OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition 4GB Dual Channel
    Gigabyte Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI
    500GB Western Digital SATA
    SATA DVD burner
    Windows XP SP3
    Antec 500W PSU
    I usually troubleshoot components step by step - eliminating all possible reasons until I have found the solution. My first step was to post here to find out if there are any known compatibility issues with the motherboard and memory. I adjusted the memory timings with a slight overclock because the motherboard did not load the default timings by default. I will start by adjusting the BIOS settings, check if the memory is inserted into the right DIMM slots and then test the memory sticks one by one. But to answer my own question: I think the motherboard and memory should have no compatibility issues and it must be something else.

    I have the OCZ 6400 Fatal1ty modules 2x2 GB that is very similar of the ones you ask.And they are running perfectly but i must set the epp latency and voltaje values in BIOS! The simple modules of ocz are in the memory compatibilty list i thought that the SLI and Falal1ty modules are just the same with a little boost.
    I had to set the right timings also. As far as I know, the SLI and Fatal1ty modules are probably the same, just with a little boost. I think it would be very strange if a module with the name "SLI-Ready Edition" and a Nforce 750i motherboard would not be compatible together.
    Anyway, any other advice on what steps I should take? I assume by now that the motherboard and memory should work together without problem. Sorry if I started out bad by not following the posting guidelines on the forum.
