the problem with your thread is we do not know what memory you intend to use, and why are you talking about 266 MHz while you can have 800 MHz memory ?? usually you can increase cpu speed by up to 30% and naturally FSB will go up accordingly. so tell us more
Sorry, for me it is complicated to speak English I have got already ram ddr2 at 800 mhz. I'm talking about 266 mhz because my CPU works well without change v-core (since 280 mhz) and this mainboard doesn't allow to change v-core

Overclock e2160 with msi 945GCM5-F-1333

Sorry for my english. I'll buy a mainboard for a friend, I choise MSI 945GCM5-F-1333 http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1285&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170 with intel penitum dual core e2180 and ram ddr2 at 800mhz.
With this mainboard can I overclock this cpu? I don't want a overclock exaggerated.....I want only change bus at 266 mh. Is it possible? Could I have problems with ram? V-core isn't problem with bus at 266 mhz.

Need help with msi mega 180 + athlon xp-m combo

AFAIK, you shouldn't need a pinmod for a Mobile Athlon XP CPU to work in a nforce2 mobo
did you have any other CPU installed prior to this one? if so, refer here to clear the CMOS: Clear CMOS Guide
next, refer to your manual, or download from MSI, for location of the FSB jumpers; ensure J8 is shorted across pins 1-2, and J7 is shorted
finally, enter your BIOS setup menu, and under Advanced Chipset Features, set CPU FSB to 133mhz (or even 166mhz if you have DDR333 memory). the only thing i can't see in the Mega 180 manual is where you set the multiplier...
which is where the BIOS has limited overclocking features, and you might have a problem here
i think i'll pass this over to the Overclockers forum, where someone may be able to give a better answer....

Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

hiya nocturnal
1st in Integrated Peripherals / IDE Function Setup....disable sata1/sata2 dma transfer and enable sata3/sata4 dma transfer...sata 3 is top on left side of board one closest to cpu.
2nd ... Cell Menu / DRAM configuration is where you set memory timing 1T/2T
3rd...Cell Menu / AGP Frequency ..set it to 67
just My 2 cents but why don't you take Everything back to stock (cpu & vid card) , Do the above and see if it will boot. the biggest problem you have (my opinion) is your memory...you do not state if it is pc3200/400 ...if it is go 200 Max Memclock (step 2, 1st option)
set the CAS settings to stock..see if you can boot to windows, then and only then go Play as in see what your sandie will do with that memory..Leave your vid card stock until you get a stable windows enviorment...also if you do shift F2 ..alt F3 it opens up other settings within our bios
I believe you will be upgrading your memory real soon if ya got the o/c bug
Hope this helps
ps...by the way what type of power supply do you have ?

i want to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram, is that possible with this motherboard??
for example: 333Mhz cpu and stay at 800Mhz for ram
the cpuz is reading actually 379 (i cant remember the exact value, but is around this) for ram when i have set to manual 667 why this happen??? (the cpu is at 300)
The memory speeds you can select are not absolute but FSB:RAM dividers
533Mhz equals the 1:1 divider
667Mhz equals the 4:5 divider
800Mhz equals the 2:3 divider
This means if you select 667Mhz RAM in bios you don't force 667Mhz but you select a FSB:RAM ratio of 4:5
At stock FSB of 266Mhz this makes : 266 / 4 = 66.5 * 5 = 333 Mhz (666 Mhz DDR) wich is the 667Mhz you select.
However, if you change FSB the RAM speed changes along with it.
So, for your 300Mhz this makes : 300 / 4 = 75 * 5 = 375 Mhz wich is +- the 379 Mhz cpuZ reads.
If you want 333Mhz fsb and ram @ 800 select 667Mhz RAM in bios and set FSB to 333Mhz, also enter RAM timings manually.
This will result in 333 / 4 = 83.25 * 5 = 416 Mhz (832 Mhz DDR) for ram - The gskill should be able to take this mild 32Mhz overclock.
The board might not make it to 333Mhz tho - It's a budget board wich overclocks poorly.

First, careful with live update and bios update. Using the forum flash tool and archives here is safer. >>BIOSes<<
As for the overclocking recommendations, first we need to know what kinda of OC you want to do? A turbo type w/ all power savings intact? If so here are some screen shots of similar boards: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
The big things that people miss at first is vdroop. If you want to oc very much, you will need to manually set that to 100% for starters.
Otherwise, post screen shots of you uefi bios settings and we can look it over.

well everything i wrote was based on the guys serial number reading ability. ill live with 2800 mhz. thanks anyway
That's all fine and good, but not always the case. Sure, some batches/runs are better than others, and some weeks of production are just good clockers, but it is hard to tell what ANY chip will do just by looking at the markings on it. Getting 3G on stock vcore would be almost unheard of - unless the chip was made to run at 3G of course. 2800Mhz isn't too bad and exactly what I run on my Brisbane 24/7.
The only real way to know what any chip will do, IMO, is to buy from someone who has abused already tried it

Hi there,
The CPU multiplier is indeed locked at 9 (at least it won't go any higher). As you mentioned, the cpu clock is your FSB X multiplier. In your case, 333X9.
So, when one cannot change the multiplier, we instead change the bus speed. You need to increase the FSB speed. Beware that this will also change your memory speed, so depending on the ram spec and fsb:ram ratio, it may be running overclocked.
Generally you can achieve a small overclock by merely adjusting the FSB. To get a larger, stable overclock you will inevitably need to increase your voltages. There are a few guides on how to do this stickied in this forum. I recommend reading them and doing some research before you start any voltage changes.

lDaGGerl my friend , it worked !!! i don't know why but i did what u are saying and the PC booted normally !!! i didn't left the battery for a whole day but for 3 hours and it worked ...
anyway , after arriving at the welcome screen of Windows (it was such a sweet image !!) , the same thing happened.The pc froze and after restarting then it doesn't post again ... the proccessor is ok , the mobo was showing bios version 1.8 , so i guess it is an issue with the RAM ... I will run a test with different ram and let u know ...
Billy
It should be related with your Maxtor SATA-II HDDs. You might connect them to SATA1/2/3/4,which are controlled by nForce4 chip. So first set them as SATA-I mode and update their firmware. You need to contact Maxtor Technical Support and get the latest firmware. Check Maxtor's knowledge and you can find the correpsonding information.Also you can also find the related in this forum such as the following thread.

Overclocking 4000+ with MSI K8NGM2-FID

Hello,
I want overclock my 4000+ san diego but just a question : can we change the vcore with the MSI K8NGM2-FID ? I can't find it
thx a lot

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 09-June-07, 02:30:36
you no really need to change CPU vcore.. board OC properties up to 250 HTT, so you can force CPU to that freq. without need to increase CPU vcore to gain stability, should be not a problem for most of the CPU's. the CPU should be stable with default vcore.
I don't know bosskiller. A 4000+ runs @ 2400Mhz already. Many K8's need voltage increases @ 2600. With a K8 that starts out so high i think he'll need Vcore increases soon to get a whortwhile oc.

Don't listen to anyone here but Stick. He gave the best advice.
Now, it might be a good idea to flash to a newer BIOS. If you have a Winnie or Venice, then v1.5 should be fine and was the one I used for a long time. The next move is to make sure your SATA drive(s) are plugged into ports 3 and 4, because ports 1 and 2 are not locked and will hinder your OC's and could lead to disc corruption and/or a borked OS.
You dropped the HTT multi to 4x, good move. That caused me a bunch of headaches at first. The next move is drop the RAM to the 166 divider. Don't drop your timings to 2.5,5,5,7 (this isn't DDR2), it is unecessary. Simply drop the RAM to the 166 divider and increase the HTT to 240Mhz. That will put your RAM at about 200Mhz, or its rated speed, while OCing the CPU to 2xxxMhz. This will rule the RAM out as a possible cause for your problem. Once the RAM is out of the way, work on the CPU.
Depending on what type of chip you have, and how well it OC's, you may or may not have to increase the vcore. I have a 3000+ Venice that will do 2500Mhz with the stock 1.376v, and a 146 Opty(San Diego) that will do 2750Mhz with the stock vcore of 1.376v. It all depends on the chip at this point. If it doesn't post, or boot, increase the vcore one bump. If that doesn't do it, then bump it again. I would go no higher than 1.5v to reach 2400 - 2600Mhz though...
Once the you have it running at a speed you are happy with, and have tested it for stabilty, you can then move on to playing with the RAM and its timings. For now though I would worry more about getting the CPU where I'd want it then the RAM.
The Neo2 is probably one of THE best s939 AGP boards out there, and they are capable of some really sick stuff...Keep trying, be patient, and good luck.
LOL...It's user to user forum so why not you listen to others people advice?

Yes you can sli different manufacturer as long as they are the same series of card (like 7900gt with 7900gt, not 7900gt with 7800gt) and you run the later drivers. Oh, and people here will tell you they prefer the msi card of course

Found a fix for me, rolled back the bios and used the built in mobo utility to flash it. Seems to work perfectly now.
Thinking it may be the latest bios release that is has an issue or two.
to which BIOS you have flashed back?

Overclocking Q6600 with MSI P45 Platinum

Hi again!
I need some advice regarding my OC settings.
Unfortunately, im an unlucky owner of the infamous Q6600 L8XX batch which has a high VID (1.3250v)
Anyway, I was able to reach 3GHz stable with these settings:
MSI P45 Platinum official v1.5 bios
Motherboard OC Jumper set to: default
================================
C1E: Disabled
Green Power: All Disabled
================================
Multi-Step OC Booster: Mode 1
DOT Control: Disabled

Adjust CPU FSB Frequenxy (MHz): 333
Adjust CPU Frequency: 3000
CPU Multiplier: 9
================================
Advance DRAM Configuration: Manual
Enhanced Settings: Enabled
NB Drive Config: auto
CAS Latency (CL): 5
tRCD: 5
tRP: 5
tRAS: 15
Advanced memory Setting: Disabled
FSB/DRAM ratio: 1:1.2
Adjusted Dram Frequency: 800
================================
ClockGenTuner: No Changes Done
Adjusted PCI Frequency: 37.5
Auto disable DRAM/PCI Frequency: Disabled
================================
CPU Voltage: 1.3175v
CPU GTL REF0: auto
CPU GTL REF1: auto
Dram voltage: 2.100v

DDR_VREF_B: auto
MCH Voltage: 1.4v
MCH GTL REF: auto
VTT FSB Voltage: 1.35v
ICH Voltage: 1.52v
================================
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
My goal is set at 3GHz and to get a lower cpu voltage (lower than my current 1.3175v), but anything below 1.3175v restarts when i stress test using OCCT. I've run memtest and it's ok. Can anybody advise which voltage I can configure to lower my cpu voltage? Also, is 333 x 9 to achieve 3GHz better? Or should I go with 375 x 8? Thanks! Btw, I plan to maintain these settings for the remainder of my CPU's life.. :D

thanks for the tip. i'm currently logging all my OC settings in an excel file. i just finished played an hour of COD4 without any restarts or instability. currently my settings are just the same except CPU voltage is at 1.344v and i reduced my Dram voltage to 2.0v. running memtest for over an hour, 2 passes already with no errors. i'll stress test it over the weekend.
i have a question though. a lot of people are suggesting a 1:1 FSB/DRAM ratio. but using 333x9 settings @ 1:1, you get 667.. i'm using 2x 2GB GeiL PC6400 800, that's why i used the 1:1.2 FSB/DRAM ratio to get 800. is it ok to keep using the 1:1.2 FSB/DRAM ratio even though people say 1:1 is the ideal ratio? many thanks for the reply
