https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=123250.0

The board is limited in its oc capability.
Do not expect miracles from a budgetboard.
You might have simply reached the limit of it and yes I know it says higher on the box, but sorry, it doesnt always work.
My slightly "bigger" brother of your board cant go any higher then where i am now (look at my sig for details).
Any higher and either no boot or unstable.
Also as you can see in your bios there are not much utilities for oc-ing (and the E6750 isnt an oc wonder and thats talking out of experience).
No reference voltages are avalaible for fine tuning cpu or fsb, only Vcore, NB, SB, VDimm, FSB VTT and maybe 1 or 2 more and thats it I guess.
Look at a expensive boards today and you got a ton of voltages and god knows what more and thats what you need to get higher.
So again sorry, but me thinks thats the max with your current setup.

MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM NOT OVERCLOCK FRIENDLY AS PROMISED

Quote from: ALFA on 25-April-05, 10:09:30
This mobo is good but its false advertisment to call it overclock friendly.
People are having problems getting ther FSB over 220 and this is a overclocking mobo.
MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM (really disappointed over the mobo)
POINT OF VIEW GEFORCE 6800ULTRA @450/1300 (Really good)
Crusial ballistiX PC4000 (Great memory)
Aspire 520watt 35amp (strong as hell)
Dear Friend don't get angry too quickly. I also have a socket 939 Athlon 3000+ Winchester. In start MSI K8N SLI Platinum was not allowing me to OC more than 220FSB in BIOS. Although in Windows I can OC it to 2.16 GHZ with NVidia NTune. It's 240FSB. You are facing the same problem that I was facing. Its 219MHZ Bug for Winchester CPUs.
All you need to do is when you are OC'ing more than 219 MHZ, just set you HT multiplier to 1x and you can go upto 260MHZ FSB via BIOS. When you get to the desktop of windows use any software to set the multiplier back to 4x or 5x (depends on how much you OC). Nvidia Ntune is a good software for this purpose. Plz keep in mind that Winchester cores are not too much overclocking friendly CPUs. They won't go beyond 2.4 GHZ and instability is bound to happen after 2.3 GHZ.

...and if that doesn't work, try these:
- double/tripple-check to make sure everything is seated properly, including the vga card and the case connections to the motherboard (reset switch, etc).
- make sure that you have the 8-pin power hooked up to your motherboard (if your PSU only has a 4-pin connector on it, plug that into the 4 holes closest to the center of the motherboard)
- remove one stick of memory and try booting with just one (which model # OCZ are you using?). If it boots like this, get into the BIOS and make sure that the memory voltage is set up high enough for the memory you're using, then power off (and un-plug power from system) and insert the second stick and try again. If it doesn't boot, power off, un-plug and try a different memory slot.
- if you have some other means of doing so, verify that your vga card and memory work in some other system.

MSI P6N SLI Platinum + E8400 OC Help!, Overclocking Is Limited

Hey guys im new to the site and I need your help! :(
I am trying to get passed 3262.5 Mhz (just got it up to 3.32ghz) preferably 3.6Ghz but every time I try to raise the FSB from 1500Mhz and up it halts and I have to reset the bios. Any help is greatly appreciated. Specs Below.

Hello and welcome,
First of all, 1066MHz isnt garantueed to work on that board, I have the same and although is says so on the box, it isnt supported, look here:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=&prod_no=1140#menu
533/667/800Mhz only.
To reach 3.6 try following:
Raise NB step by step, until ~1.35V max, SB @stock, FSB VTT to 4 - 8%
Set FSB to 1600 and mem to 800 on auto timings, you can adjust those later.
And leave Vcore on 0.100V as said in your post.
See if you can get it to run then.

Update on Pentium D 930 + MSI P6N SLi Mobo

A short time ago I was searching this forum for information concerning the compatibility of the Pentium D 930 processor with the MSI P6N Sli Mobo. It seems that this processor was not officially supported for this board. A few helpful people offered the opinion that they would likely work just fine together. I just wanted to get back to you guys and say thank you again, that turned out to be exactly the case. :D
After an embarrassing no-post situation caused by the leftover mounting spacers from my old board (which used 12) to my present board (which uses 9), everything went smoothly. Acronis with Universal restore allowed me to regenerate my operating system. After a lengthy update of drivers the computer was up and running smoothly and with a entirely welcome but somewhat puzzling difference. Whereas the old board (D945PVS) consistently provided an environment in which the CPU ran at 50°+ C (?!) and had transient temperatures as high as 58 - 59° C with an ambient 20° C, the new set up consistently ran below 40°. These results were consistent no matter what type of thermal pastes were used, be they my homebrewed colloidal silver in silicone stopco*k grease or Arctic Silver. (that's hilarious... the anti-obscenity software interpreted a fully normal English language word as obscenity)
Well, whatever the reason....sweet.
I have only attempted simpleminded overclocking as the options are somewhat limited by the processor. With the frequency for the GPU locked at 100 MHz, simply adjusting the FSB to 1000 raised the apparent speed of the CPU to 3.75 GHz, up from the stock frequency of 3 GHz. An attempt to set the front side bus at 1060 resulted in a non-bootable system so back to 1000 it went.
I have not adjusted any of the system voltages. So far I have not stress tested this other than to simply use the computer for several hours. No apparent problems yet. The system temperatures have remained between 38 and 40° C in an ambient 20°C environment.
The only thing that nags at me, and I'm fairly sure that this is of no importance is the fact that in device manager the CPUs show yellow exclamation marks and in properties I see a message saying that certain drivers failed to load for the CPU and that other software may be taking their place. Well, whatever this actually means, it has had no detectable impact on system performance or reliability.

Hiya flobelix
If by manually updating the drivers you mean by left clicking on them in device manager and selecting update --> search online, then yes, I did. I do not have the exact verbiage but the resultant error message was something to the effect that the drivers had installed but failed to start and something else may be taking their place.
Driver magician fails to detect that any cpu drivers are missing. Same with online testing services such as PC pitstop. | have done a cursory search using Google to find people with similar problems but I have not as of yet seen this EXACT problem.

MSI P6N SLI-F Northbridge Heatsink dimensions?

I'm looking around for a nice quiet CPU heatsink/fan that will fit on the MSI P6N SLI-F motherboard.
there's been a couple that I've had to rule out because the Northbridge heatsink is too close to the CPU socket -- but can anyone tell me how tall the stock heatsink on the northbridge is, on this particular motherboard?
It's kind of hard to tell the scale on most of the motherboard pictures that are floating around. If anyone can tell me how many mm this heatsink rises above the motherboard, I'd much appreciate it!
(Suggestions for a quiet CPU fan to be used with a Core 2 Duo E6600 that will fit this motherboard are also very welcome. I'm not intending to overclock -- low noise is more important to me than arctic temperatures)

Quote from: somebob on 06-March-07, 14:28:59
Hm... Are you sure those actually fit on the (non-platinum) P6N?
Looking at pictures of the motherboard, a 92mm vertical fan looks like it might run into the northbridge heatsink... Can anyone else confirm that the collermaster (RR-PCH-S9U1-GP) fits this motherboard?
Yes, it does... images of it installed in the thread linked above.

MSI P6N SLI Platinum + E6850 + 533Mhz (PC-4200) RAM?

Hi,
I got hold of an E6850 (1333 MHz FSB) CPU for upgrade and I would like to know if it can run with 2Gb hynix RAM (533MHz PC-4200) on my MSI P6N SLI platinum (Rev 1.0). If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to using 667MHz or 800MHz RAM?
Thanks.

I am not sure if the Nforce Chipset/Memory Controller is able to support a memory bus speed that is lower than FSB Clock Speed. Intel Chipset usually can't do that (1:1 usually being the minimum ratio supported). However, on your board, the memory speed is not directly tied to the FSB Clock Speed and can be adjusted independently, so the situation may be different. The bottom line is: I can't tell you for sure if it will work or not and therefore suggest to simply test it and see what happens.

If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to buying PC-6400 800MHz RAM?
With the memory bus running slower than the Front Side Bus, there will be definately be a performance difference that is not insignificant.

MSI P6N SLI Plat - Harddrive not appearing in my computer

Hi guys,
Ive just bought an additional sata2 drive for my pc. I already have a raid - 0 setup.
It shows in bios and i managed to find it using the 'manage' option through XP. Its been formatted to NTFS, and despite being able to copy files over to it,
it doesnt appear in the My computer window?? this is really beginning to bug me, the only advice online has been to format the drive which ive already done twice!!
I am no expert, so iam out of ideas. Any help appreciated.

Maximum temperature at the junction point (where the die is glued to the chip carrier inside). Max temp is 100°C for Allendale and 85°C for conroe. The internal sensor coretemp uses does not return a absolute temperature but rather how many C° is left until Tjunction is reached. So to calculate the temperature they use Tjunction - Sensor Reading = Temperature. You can see here how speedfan's wrong assumption of 85°C for allendale creates a 15°C offset.
3x for the info, but what is the thermal specs of E4300, which is 61 sth

Who has this setup - MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400

This message is intended for anyone who has the MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400 in a working state.
I've had the pleasure of perusing these forums for a while in hopes of finding an answer as to why my E8400 isn't working with my P6N SLI Platinum. I've updated my BIOS, I've RMA'd my chip, I've even contacted MSI support (with no reply I might add). I have been so careful when handling these components and thoroughly reading the instructions, to no avail. I've got the board and all components working with a different processor. I've tried the voltage modifications that many have said work, I've tried different memory, I even tried a different video card. So I'm stuck in the same boat as many it seems, however there are one or two posts on this forum and others where people have said they actually got it to work!
So now I really hope I can get this question answered - What is a working config? One of the things I haven't tried yet is a new power supply. My current PS is 650w, but has the 4 pin CPU power connector. From the posts I've read, it shouldn't matter if I have the 4 or the 8. But in reality, does this CPU work on the P6N Plat with an 8 pin connector? I'd be willing to go buy a new PS if thats the case! What else could possibly be the issue? Any and all feedback is appreciated. i really didn't want to start up another thread for this proc/board issue, but perhaps someone else has joined this board by now that may provide the little piece of info that I've been missing.
Cheers,
Aaron

according to the website, the 1.6 BIOS had cpu updates in march so I's assume it would have support for the E8400.
What exactly happens when you turn on the system with the E8400?

MSI P6N SLI board, trouble again

Well bought a new Adaptec 31205 raid card and a few Sas drives.
Strange enough the card is NOT seen by the board. Furthermore i cannot alter the bios of the board, nor the card gets detected.
Drives spindle, card is powered on, cursor stays at the left side of the screen.
Any suggestions for this problem are more then welcome.
Had to reinstall the Dell Scsi card and drives.
thanks,
Swa

ok, i give the info i got:
MSI P6N SLI board:
Intel extreme 6800 3 ghz duo processor
4 gb 800 mhz memory PC6400 Transend
Club 3d Radeon X1600 512 mb video card
Adaptec 31205 Raid controller with 256 mb cache
5 Cheetah T10 15k 300 gb drives
Right now Dell Perc4e controller (Scsi) in a PCI-E port (8 lanes) with 3 15k Scsi drives of 36 gb in Raid 5.
Board works with the Perc4E.
As said, drives spindle, lights on card are ok, no bios, not of the motherboard, not of the Adaptec.
Thanks,

It seems that your CPU (or PSU) died.
You need to borrow an old s775 processor and to test.

MSI P6N SLI V2 CPU Heatsink Q

Hi,
I have a quick question about compatible heatsinks for this board (MSI P6N SLI V2). I've been looking at a few and have decided to go for the Zalman CNPS9500A-LED (I'm pretty sure it'll fit) does anybody have one of these fitted?? I did read on another forum that there might be a problem with the underside of the board, but it wasn't very clear which board they were refering to....
Any help would be great...... Many Thanks

I suggest you also ask Zalman directly: http://www.zalman.com/ENG/Contact/GetSupport/Write_Form.asp
