Disable Spread Spectrum & Extreme Memory Profile in bios Cell Menu. Disable Overspeed Protection in bios Advance Bios Features-CPU Features. Since RAM speed increase with base clock increases, you will have to 'experiment again to get the RAM stable. Set Mem. Ratio to 5, Uncore Ratio to 12, adjust DRAM, voltage & timings accordingly, set base clock to 166 or 167, leave all voltages (other than your RAM), on default. This should give you around 1660 RAM speed & 3.33G's, with Turbo, around 3.5G's .

Unable to boot with MSI X58 PRO-E and OCZ3P1333LV6GK

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum.
I've had this system for about 6 months, and from time to time I kept having instant reboots and once the PC would never start, I think I've sorted that by first flashing an old MB BIOS and then the most recent.
Tree days ago I've had another instant reboot, but now the system stops/reboots when the coloured animation starts to appear above the "Loading windows" message. This happens with both Win7 32 & 64 bits and even with the windows 7 installation DVD !!!
I think I've tried all combinations of the other posts where the MB+memory was the same as mine.
Another strange issue is: the memory PN shown inside the BIOS (OCZ3G1333LV2G) is different from the label on the memory (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)!!
I've already tested with only one memory chip at a time, the result is still the same.
I've only got connected the following: Video board, 1 RAM chip, USB Keyboard & one SATA HD. No over clocking whatsoever !
What else do I need to do to finally boot to windows ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Paulo
My System:
Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E, model MS-7522, version 3.1
BIOS: 8.B
CPU: Intel i7 920
RAM: OCZ3G1333LV6GK (6GB)
Video: Sapphire Vapor-X ATI RAdeon HD 4870 2GB
PSU: Combat Power CP 750W
OS: Windows 7 32 & 64 bits

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the help.
"What are your RAM timings? Screenshot of CPU-Z Memory tab and SPD tab."
I've added a few screenshots of the memory, the SPD & CPU-Z tab, plus a MEM86 test with only on memory stick installed. It appears that the memory is OK... or not ?
"Do you have another video card you can try? Those Sapphire Vapor-X cards have been a problem for others in the past."
I wasn't aware of any problems with this video card, I use it mainly to send movies to my big LCD TV through the HDMI port. I don't have access to another video card, sorry...
I don't know what else to do, do you think it's the PSU ?
Regards,
Paulo

When your time permits, list 'all' your systems components, OS etc., including PSU +12V amps on the rail(s).

cannot even get it to post at 3.6ghz with manual voltage increases in all things, and auto doesnt help, is this normal?
Yes, when it isn't necessary to do "increases in all things".

Im not very confident with doing the ioh mod but im getting 90 degrees with no overclock
The addition of a fan to direct air flow at the IOH, will reduce the temp. The Antec Spot Cool works well for this. Aftermarket CPU coolers have taken away the engineered passive air flow the stock cooler provides (presuming you are not using the stock cooler). 90c is in spec, so RMA solely upon that is doubtful. Again, when time permits, include what OC goals you are looking for as well. Most OC'ing takes time, patience, & trial & error.

Update
The issue has become less consistent, i.e. at times, it has appeared before booting the kernel AND, at other times, it has failed to appear after booting--for about 10 minutes, only to come back then. Hard to know what sets it off.
Upon further research, I have found many owners of the MSI GE60 laptop experiencing same problem (there are video clips on youtube of users documenting it--it is exactly the same issue) so this looks like a bug specific to the MSI GE60.
It is related to fan tables/temperatures in the EC (Embedded Controller) and MSI has finally come up with an updated version of the EC in the BIOS to fix it. I did the update (of the EC only, not full BIOS) and so far so good. I will wait a couple of days to make sure it is (and stays) fixed and mark this thread as solved. (It now looks like the thread should have been posted to the "Laptop Issues" forum as opposed to Kernel.)

MSI x58 Pro and Quad SLI

OK I am new to this forum first off. So hey! lol. Now maybe this has been discussed.... well im sure it might have been but I thought I would get a direct answer from somebody. I have the Msi x58 Pro mobo and I planning to run QUAD SLI with GTX 295's. Now my BIOS version is the oldest.... I think 7.0 which doesnt support SLI right? and I have read that MSI motherboards now supports SLI. WIll this configuration work and should I update my BIOS to the most current version??

Yes, update with the 8 series bios. That will enable SLI. Please, be sure to use the forum USB Flash Tool for the bios update.

My 1st MSI i7 x58 pro experience and issues

I got a MSI X58 Pro + i7 920 D0 + Corsair 1600-CL8 RAM (non dominator) + Win7 Ultimate/Linux. I could never run it at 1600. It was quite flaky. Then I bought some cheaper 1333-CL7 ram from ocz. Has given me less pains. Its stable at stock. I have a antec solo case with an antec earthwatts 500W. BIOS version is 7.3. Have a nvidia low end card.
Issues
* However, I cant still raise BCLK to 155+ ... get blue screens in Win7. I disabled spread spectrum.
* IOH temps are 58C on idle!!!
* Computer doesnt go to sleep in Win 7.
Compare that with a bunch of builds with UD4P from G. IOH at 47C and I can just set the BCLK at 166 and forget it ... everything runs without a snag .... and all of them behave the same way. I used 1333-CL9 RAM on those no issues at all. Am wondering whats wrong with this board (or the model in general). Is this a less stable board from MSI, compared to the other models.
What am I doing wrong?

* IOH temps are 58C on idle!!!
Your IOH temp is fine. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129940.0 Are you using the stock CPU cooler or aftermarket?

Recommend first, update bios to version 8.6 using the forum's USB Flash Tool. Contact MSI Tech. Support if this doesn't resolve the sleep issue.

Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
Heres the brand new parts;
MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
i7 920
Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
Im going to re-use this stuff:
2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
DVD RW
Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
Thank you for any help!
Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

Yes, why not?
Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage. 4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

There's only one way to overclock - overclock... There is no safe way of doing it...

The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU. (The i7 965, for example.) It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

Extremely doubtful.
I hope I've answered your questions. I can be more thorough if you wish to know more. Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.

MSI X58 Pro - Latest Chipset Driver

Hi,
Off and on I get an ATAPI error on Windows 7 x64. I'm running a i7 920 on my MSI X58 Pro (NOT the Pro E version).
The symptoms are simple, booting into Windows load screen I get my hard drive light lit up non stop and nothing loads. I'm not sure if its trashing as I'm using an SSD. I've run HD Tune to test all my drives are they have reported them to be fine.
I'll like to update the chipset drivers as a step to solve my problem
The one on the official page shows:
Intel 3/4/5 Chipset Drivers Ver: 9.1.2.1008
Release Date: 2010-07-30
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
This is the one I am using now.
I went to Intel's website and found an more updated one:
Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) Ver: 9.3.0.1019
Release Date: 2011-11-27
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3061&DwnldID=20775&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Desktop+Chipsets&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+X58+Express+Chipset&lang=eng
My question is simple: Should I update my drivers to the one on the Intel site or stick with MSI's one?
Also note that the MSI Pro has been discontinued and I'm not sure if the Pro x58 product page is updated.

If the updates didn't help, to further assist with troubleshooting, a list of all your systems components will be needed. Don't forget to give details of the RAM & the PSU, especially the amps on the +12V rail(s).

What type RAM chips for my motherboard MSI X58 Pro-E

Hello,
I have a motherboard MSI X58 Pro-E Processor I7 960, I would like to buy 16 GB of memory, I just do not understand anything type of memory.
Can you tell me what kind of memory is compatible with my motherboard
I need some Extremely fast memory
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro-E.html#?div=Manual
Excuse me if I speak wrong, because I'm French.
Thank you in advance, cordially.

The memory controller is inside the processor and natively suppoert DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 memory modules (non(!)-ECC). Anything faster than DDR3-1066 may work but there is a chance that you will be running into stability problems, especially with four modules installed.

MSI X58 Pro SLI not working - solved

Just wanted to post my experience of the last couple days here so that hopefully google and the other spiders will grab it in case other people have the same problem I was having.
I have an MSI X58 Pro, and was running a single GeForce 8800GT for a long time. I grabbed a second one on ebay thinking an SLI setup it would be a snap to install. I came to find out that the bios version on my motherboard supported Cross Fire out of the box, but no SLI support. When I had the MSI website do an automatic scan, it came back that the most up to date bios version for my board was 7.xx, but the version that supported SLI was 8.xx. I was close to throwing in the towel, but found some threads here pointing to the download and use of the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool and BIOS helper. I manually downloaded the v 8.E bios update, had the tool create a bootable usb thumb drive, updated the bios without any drama and bingo, SLI is now working on my machine.
Big props and my thanks to the guys who made this tool, I owe you a cold one!

Thank you very much for the glowing post. Yes, we are very proud of the Forum Flasher and have been trying to get MSI to officially adopt it as well.

Help overclocking MSI X58 Pro-E with a i7 920 co stepping

Good evening everyone, I would like some help with getting the best overclock I can with my rig. This is what I have: Msi X58 Pro-E, Intel core i7 920 co stepping, Corsair Hydro H50 cooler, 3 x 2 gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 c9, EVGA GTX260-216 SC 896mb, 1 TB Western Digital 32cache Hard drive SATA, Lite-on DVD/RW with Lightscribe, OCZ Stealthxstream 600 watt PSU. Running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz. I can use all the help I can get. From what I have read it should overclock fairly well. Thanks for your help John

Currently it says that the memory is only running at 500 mghz.
Using CPU-Z? If so, 500x2=1000. For a simple OC without having to do much of anything, change bclk to 166/167. Be sure to disable Spread Spectrum in bios Cell Menu. Go up from there until it fails to post. Add a step or two of CPU voltage & check for post again. At some point, RAM speed becomes a factor, & other voltages & settings join in the mix. Primarily, the main items involved are bclk, CPU & RAM voltage, QPI voltage sometimes at some point, RAM timings, Memory & Uncore Ratios. Other than that, disable Overspeed Protection, C-State, Turbo on or off, EIST on or off. Most important, know the operating temp & voltage limits.

MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 950, first time overclocking

Hello,
It's the first time I'll try overclocking. My config is
Board: MSI X58 PRO-E (MS-7522) 3.0
Bios: Version 8.15
VGA: Nvidia GeForce GTX 770
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M - 600W
Proc: Intel Core i7 950
MEM: Kingston 2 x 4Go PC3-12800 800Mhz
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120Go
COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Could you help me to choose what to change in the BIOS ?
Thank you !

Quote from: rodolphe.lampe on 21-April-15, 13:36:44
CPU Vcore is 1.264V and sometimes it jumps to 1.272V
In BIOS, left to "auto" where you set VCore?
Have you found the reason or a solution for high temps?
According to Intel website, Tcase max is 67.9c, this means core temps should be around 70c no more, you will need them at 50-55c at stock to be able to overclock.
