MOVED: Overclocking issue with P7N SLI

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126513.0

OK guys, just a little update. My OC is now showing up in Windows and is now making a difference in my benchmark scores. All I had to do was drop the multi to 8 and then up the fsb to 1600 (for 3.2 ghz) and it booted normally. It's passed prime for 8 hours now, so I have no reason to believe its not stable.
Still not sure why my OC wouldn't work in windows until I dropped my multi tho, any suggestions?
Only thing I can guess is that the OC wasn't stable at that fsb (fsb hole), resulting in a failed OC. After dropping the multi, I added some Vcore and upped the FSB voltage a bit, and voila!
Headed for 3.4 GHZ tonight =D

Overclocking issue with P7N SLI

Hey guys, first time I've posted since I got my board, because I have had zero issues with it. But that, unfortunately, was at stock settings. The minute i overclocked the board, I loved its stability. A Q6600 to 3.0 GHZ on stock voltage and auto everything! However, I have run into a problem...
When I boot up with a 1420 FSB, I get a clock speed of 3.19GHZ in the POST info, and it loads windows (Vista 32bit) instantly, no problems. However, all of my applications (CPUZ, windows system properties,, etc) show me at 3.0GHZ still. I have run benchmarks between 3.0 and 3.2 and I see no variation in points, at all. I'm booting into windows fine with is overclock, but windows is not accepting and applying it!
Any info that anyone can give would be much appreciated. FYI, I am running the current 2.1 bios from this site, actually the board came with said bios installed. Thanking you all in advance...

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 ?

MOVED: Overclocking e8400 with P7n 750i SLI Platinum

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124268.0

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.

Overclocking issue with X99S SLI board

I just put together my system with an X99S SLI Plus MB, and i7 5820K CPU.
If I use the OC Genie, it will clock my CPU at 3.8Ghz (38x100).
However, If I turn off the Genie and trying manual overclocking, it will not allow me to modify the CPU ratio, locking it at 3.3Ghx (33x100).
It says that the multiplier can only be modified with a CPU that allows it.
I have a "K" processor, and OC Genie changes the CPU ratio when active, so I am not sure why I cannot change it manually.
Am I missing something?
System Specs:
X99S SLI Plus MB
Core i7 5820K CPU
Kingston Hyper-X DDR4, 2666

The BIOS version is: E7885IMS V1.7(170)
Here are some shots with OC Genie, and without:

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

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 ...

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?

MOVED: Weird USB & overclocking issues with Z97 Gaming 7 board

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252886.0

Yes, well partly at least:
- found my USB ports to work after I enabled all the options there were in bios (that's a start!)
- found USB sticks to work normally after uninstalling the USB port drivers (ASMedia)
So far, so good at least.
Then I remembered my short "voyage" with a Z87 board. Simply entering numbers seems to work. I like the idea as it keeps total newbies away, but I hate it for not seeing any kind of range.
Especially now, as the platform is totally new to me, and even the default values show up in bright red when I enter them manually. No sort of documentation to be found in the manual, so I hope I'll stumble across something like a "MSI-specific" OC tutorial (most of them seem to concentrate on Asus and Asrock, as usual).
Thanks for trying to help though I couldn't find a button to delete the topic so I thought locking it would be a good alternative.
PS: I'm on Win 8.1 now, which updated my previous Win 8 installation, and it's running fine now. Using things like "show hidden devices" & uninstalling old drivers has helped me to keep my installations for quite some time normally. Often across various platforms even (used to be far more years ago as I don't upgrade as much anymore).

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

Quote from: polishedcar on 16-March-08, 03:39:19
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)

MOVED: Highest HTT with the SLI Platinum (MSI-7100)

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=93189.0

Dont mess with the HT, it doesnt give you anything.
The highest FSB people have reported is in the range of 375 or higher. (HardOCP)
Keep your HT at 1000 or below by decreasing the Multiplier. (Normally set to 5x)
This has been explained in previous posts, but since Im being lazy and dont want to search for them, Ill just restate it. The HT controls the bandwidth available on the board. With 4 Hardrives in Raid, Two cards in SLI, a Dual Core Processor, 4 Sticks of RAM, and Two CD burners, all running 100% (Not possible, no program or sets of programs can achieve this.) The required bandwidth is still below what you get at a HT of 1000 Mhz. (Sorry dont remember the exact number, Its posted on an Overclocking site somewhere.)
Multiple people have done many tests and confirmed that the performance gain between 800 to 1000 HT is negligible and beyond 1000 HT is really nothing. But to answer your question, I have hit a HT of 1275 before the board became unstable. And again, when I say unstable, I mean I lost a harddrive, had to reload the operating system, and other generally bad things happened.

You know what ... this forum is crap ...you ask for help and all you get is a load of crap replys that help in no way at all thnx for wasting my time. And for the record if you guys accually knew how to overclock my cpu with my mobo then u would have just told me with no problems but instead u have wasted about 3 days of my time waiting for usuful reply and help from a decent person ! good job.
Ill figure it out myself as iv already gotten it 3.0 stable with reading only what other ppl used on there bios with short amount of trial and error.
Wow. Some people just really don't get it...
We all know how to overclock CPUs, of course. Why are you biting the hand of the arm trying to help you? I used the P7N Diamond for several months, and also provided a lot of the overclocking tips and hints, along with every beta/performance BIOS MSI released.
If you want me to do the overclocking for you, and rid you of the experience; hell, I have no problem with that. The P7N is a simple board to overclock until the NB gets too hot. Max out the FSB term, don't touch the GTL voltages, and adjust the CPU Vcore only when needed. If you cannot follow anything I said in the last sentence - go back to stock settings.
Do you even know how to stability test an overclocked system?
If you don't want to learn, you're most likely not going to get beyond 3.2 GHz.
