That bios didn't fix the multiplier issue. It's already flashed...
I was thinking that you have missing MP.
"I haven't tested every possible fsb setting but I don't want to, I just want to run my cpu at the 8x multiplier "
What's the problem to do that?

MSI P7N SLI problem, help!

Is there a way to get a bios that has the quad core multiplier issue fixed on a P7N SLI-FI board? I mean, c'mon a fix has existed for the other p7n boards for months now. Isn't there one for my specific board??? I'm about to flash a SLI Platinum Bios into my board just to see if it works, 'cuz I'm loosing it already . Any help would be greatly appreciated since I can't move my q6600 from it's stock settings, 3600 mhz is a "no go" with my cooler and there seems to be an fsb hole between 1200 to 1600 mhz on my board, I haven't tested every possible fsb setting but I don't want to, I just want to run my cpu at the 8x multiplier :(

MOVED: MSI P7N SLI - PC Wont Boot - Video error code but changing graphics card no help

This topic has been moved to Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=152893.0

With a 94000GT (no power connector from PSU) the machine is now running.
But there's still a problem somewhere (and that's a pretty poor graphics card I don't want to be stuck with) so I'm still keen to find out what to do, or what's wrong.
My 650W Antec with 2 12 volt rails should have no issues powering the other cards.

You do not want to see them going over 60c really.
You can go over 60C without any problems, just keep it under ~70C under full load.
If you want your cores below 60C you cant oc very far even with a great cooler, or you'll need watercooling or a dozen fans @high speed
I've seen many people with stress temps of around ~68C and I know someone who has it running 24/7, with cores at ~65C at peak moments for a few hours.
His system has been fine for almost 2 yrs now .
And what about the summer?
It has been 27C here in Holland and my cores ran sometimes over ~61C for a couple of hours (lotta decoding/encoding done) and all is still working fine
Below 60C with a decent oc on air cooler,in summers is a nono as far as i know.
Unless like you, you like a lot of fans spinning at high speed ( must sound terrible ) to cool things down.

MOVED: Overcloking E8400/ Msi P7N sli platinium

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120686.0

Hello
I have already read lot of review of overcloking. So i decided to overclok too .
For my case i think that i have discover the problem but i am not shure . I have read in a review of the MSI P7N Platnium that the motherbord can not go above 1333Mhz of FSB . I have a E8400 so it's by defautlt at 1300Mhz. What do you think ???
Another question is how can i know the ratio between my FSB and my memory ??? It can help me for the OC beacause i can try to reduce the frequency memory and try to see if i can exeed 1300Mhz of Front Side Bus. In cell menu i have the choise of auto , linked and manuel . When i choose linked i don't know the ratio so i can't know how my memory frequency is calulated when i change the FSB of my CPU. Try to help me here if someone can .
Don't forget i have a corsair PC26400 (800Mhz) so i can't go above 400Mhz . My timing according to CPU-Z in EPP : 4-4-4-12-2T at 2.1V
My last question is i have try to overclok directly in OS whith setFSB . But i don't know the PLL of the Msi P7N sli platinium. Can someone tell me what is it ?? I am trying to know if i can increase the FSB directly in windows Mode. Of course i will change my frequency memory in the BIOS to 275Mhz ( according to CPUZ it it's possible) to not be limited by my memory and especially because i don't Know the ration DRAM:FSB . I think it's more easily and more safe .
When i let the bios in auto i read in CPUZ a ration DRAM:FSB = 5:6 which is normal because the bus is at 333Mhz and my memory 400Mhz. But i choose linked i don't know if the ratio is the same when i change the FSB ??
Can you suggest me another program inside of SetFSB ???
If someone tell me that i can't increase 1300Mhz in this motherboard so i will stop here to oc and not loose my time.
Thanks ...

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.

Somebody had luck to overclock Q9300 on P7N-SLI Platinum ? please post info

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

MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA 775 nForce 750i startup booting problems

Hi there!
My PC is about 1.5 years old.
Now last 3 weeks I'm having some frustrating problem when starting my PC.
Issue: my computer starts now only when there is 2 Gb total memory on motherboard.
If there´s 3 Gb or 4 Gb memory on motherboard, then I won´t even get a Bios startup screen.
(but i can see and heard that PSU and CPU fans are working)
I tried all memory modules on, separately using only one memory module. All memory modules and every slot seems to be ok.
I also try Memtest86 (with one memory module Separately) no errors found.
Motherboard PCI-E slots and graphics card are also ok.
(because my PC works like a charm when there´s only total 2 Gb memory on motherboard)
Why my PC only starts when there´s 2 Gb memory on motherboard?
Any help will be appreciated deeply!

I know the 7600GS doesn't recommend a PSU with a lot of power(15 - 17 A), but you're running two of them in SLI. Your PSU only has 18A on the +12V rail. This could very well be your issue. Below are some good single +12V rail PSUs, Corsairs and PC Power & Cooling. You can also look for Silverstone single rail PSUs, but they tend to be pricier. If you can't get anything other than split-rail, post back and we'll try to make some recommendations.

MSI P7N SLI - PC Wont Boot - Video error code but changing graphics card no help

((Apologies, I think this should be in the forum for Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad boards))
Hi. Brief description of the issue.
Last Saturday there was fan noise. I ignored that, left the machine on, went out. By Sunday morning the machine had turned itself off. I opened it up, identified the problem as the graphics card fan, failed to fix but put the PC back on figuring I'd have to see about a new card soonish.
Later on it had turned itself off again. Got to bios with a system32 config error. I figured that was why it'd been shutting off and went through the long process of manual recovery from that. Turned the computer on, all good, played games.
Until I thought to check the GFX temp... 133 degrees Celcius. Turned it off right away, ordered replacement card - which has now arrived.
But the machine won't boot at all. I get one long tone then two short. This is the same with both the old and the new cards. Blue light comes on, all the fans come on, then the beeps.
But the 'long' isn't long like if it was a RAM issue. I'm googling AMI bios post codes and seeing 1 long + 2 short is a video error, but also that '3 beeps' is a memory problem.
I've swapped my RAM sticks around and tried each stick individually and get the same beep code.
I've reset the CMOS by holding in the button on the back for 5 seconds, with the power cable unplugged and after discharging the capacitors.
The only other suggestions I've found is that it could be a failure of the PSU to power the card. But it should be giving ample power.
Now I am stuck for ideas.

Zotac 8800GT [OR Asus GTX 260 212]
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2*1) DDR2 800

LiteOn DVD Rom
Windows XP

With a 94000GT (no power connector from PSU) the machine is now running.
But there's still a problem somewhere (and that's a pretty poor graphics card I don't want to be stuck with) so I'm still keen to find out what to do, or what's wrong.

Msi p7n sli platinum ram chips problem

ok i have a msi p7n sli platinum mother board, i've had it now for the past 2 - 3 years. I finally got around to upgrading the ram from 2xcorsair xms2 ddr2 1024mb ram chips to 2x corsair dominator 2048mb ram chips.
i have checked the motherboard specs the voltage and MHz arent a problem.
But when i use 2 of the new chips my computer wont load the boot screen a 10th of the time. When i use 1 of the new chips it runs all the time. I was thinking it maybe a problem with the bios, i have reset it several times to the correct voltage, as it doesnt automatically some times.
anyone have and idea what i can do to fix this.

Please give full system specs --> >>Posting Guide<<
Try running the RAM at 800MHz 5-5-5-15 1.8V 2T.

hello. yesterday i finished upgrade my computer (before the motherboard was in wardrobe half-year (work before) and now when I turn computer going nothing (monitor black,light red and blue works. ) - only fans spins. CPU,RAM,GPU,PSU are new and works .When i turned on computer (no signal ) for 5-10min, GPU,RAM and cooler motherboard (Chipset etc.) are hot, but if i take off cooler from CPU,Cpu is cold - where is problem ? pins are not visibly damaged, all connected (fans,power etc. ),restart cmos..
HW:
MB : MSI P7N SLI Platinum ( today not in Warranty - have got 3-4 years )
CPU : celeron E3400
RAM: Adata 1gb ( for test )
GPU : Nvidia 9600GSO
PSU : TAGAN 480W
THX all and sorry for my bad english :D

Recheck all your power connections. Does that VGA card have additional power connectors and if so did you connect the PCIe power connectors.
Did you do CMOS clear ? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Do you have another PSU that you can test with.
i recheck power connections 100x , If VGA card dont have power connector - write message to display ? i clear cmos to 2-3 and don´t work .
psu tested in other computer and work. Why CPU is cold ? when i started next computer CPU in 5S have 30-35C

mm Well i hope you dont mind me tagging on this as its the same line of faults and near the same time span mmm
Sorry for Jumping around at the start, my mind tends to wounder a lot
MSI P7N SLI Platium (MS-7380 Version 1.0)
System was working, i hadnt changed any thing just gone!!
I dont get any beeps or any display, plugged in a head set as i know some motherboards talk to you just cant remember what board that was.
the system is naked but for CPU/RAM and a S3 PCI Trio 1Mb graphics card, its my dummy card that is so basic every thing works with it.
I used a POST HEX (sorry minds gone and i dont know what to call them)
I get the codes 1D 1B and 1C, i think this POST HEX card moves each stage along, so i guess its hanging on 1C
I then took out the Ram, got out a beeping sound for a bit and the POST HEX codes of FB FE and 08
i will put the S3 PCI Trio in to another system to make sure its alive and teh Monitor when i get back to it

That posting guide simply tells you to provide correct information of PC components such as PSU brand, model and amps for +12V rail(s), brand, model number, RAM how many modules used and a short clear description of your problem(s). No need to run off yet, just supply the requested info then we can get on with trying to help you.

Overcloking E8400/ Msi P7N sli platinium

Hello Everybody
I am french and i am trying to OC may E8400 to 3g6 for the moment. This is my spec :
PSU : Thermaltake 750W
Corsair PC26400 (800Mhz) : Timing : 5-5-5-18 at 1.9V
CPUZ tells me that i have a EPP timing : 4-4-4-12 at 2.1V Do i have to use this timing or the SPD timing ??
E8400 FSB = 1333Mhz
So my ratio is FSB/RAM = 5/6
So i am going to the BIOS in Cell Menu . I disabled the DOT , the EINST and the spectrum.
I disabled auto for manuel in cpu clock. I put the FSB to 400Mhz so 1600 in the bios. I change the timing to 5-5-5-18.
After i change the Cpu Voltage to 1.22V , the memory to 2.1V and i increase the VTT , NB Voltage a little . But i dont touch the SB voltage.
I save and when i restart my pc freeze and i have to reset the CMOS . It tells mis that my overcloking as failed but i don't know what is wrong ??? The FSB can go to 1600 without a problem no ?
My second question is how to make the ratio 1:1 . I was thinking that if put the fsb from 333 to 400 i will have a ratio of 1:1.
Thanks for the Help.
