If your board has adjustments for the Northbridge chipset in bios try experimenting, i found that 600 mhz and 1.3 volts increased performance on my P6N diamond.
I've tried to overclock everything including processor, northbridge, memory and graphics card, the result is only about 100 points more, where I'm looking for like 1400 points more in 3DMark 2006 and whooping 4000 points in 3DMark 2005.

Be sure to run driversweeper in between driver changes too for best results.

MOVED: P6N SLI-FI with strap problems

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=106888.0

If you are using this ram, then the specs look pretty good (5-5-5-15 @ 1.8v DDR2-800), so I'd just:
- leave it in "Linked' mode
- leave the memory voltage at 1.8 (or "Auto")
- go to advanced memory configuration and set it (everything) to "Auto"
- on the "Advanced CMOS Settings" page, under CPU Settings, Disable C1E (if it's not there, hit F4 to make it show up)
- back on the Cell Menu page, make sure D.O.T. and EIST are Disabled.
- on Cell Menu page, scroll to bottom and make sure ALL Spread Spectrum settings are Disabled.
...from there, you should just be able to adjust the FSB and CPU voltage. According to the link that Quadrifoglio Verde provided above...

Ok, solved problem.
2,xx GHz wasn´t stable, but 3,015 GHz is ROCK SOLID! Looks like 1333 MHz strap works...
VCore +0,0375, nothing else done, CPU Set to 335 MHz x 9.
...note that running your cpu in the 3GHz range, with higher voltage will cause it to run hotter - be sure that you have adequite cooling before attempting this (in other words, any overclocking you DO AT YOUR OWN RISK ).
Have fun.

Did you have the system OC'd at all? The crackling you heard 'may' have been a capacitor gone bad. By the CPU, on the NB side I believe, do you see a little 1/4 or so round clear sticker with a number on it? Does it say 01, 02, or 03? I recently retired my P6N, but it was a 'great' board for a number of years. If you want to keep the board, it may have to go in for service. Trying another CPU might damage it too if something is wrong with the boards circuitry. MSI can also do a parts upgrade to the board & make it compatible with 45nm CPU's like the E8400-E8600 from a 01 02 03 revision board.
Hmmmmm...no sticker at all, I check all over the board. This was a newegg purchase in Feb 08' if that can say anything about what version it may be. Also, I did not have the system OC'd at all. Everything was running "as is". The crackle I heard could be better described as when something is being fried. The odd thing is, there was no smells, no busted caps or anything. If I were to replace something first (with new) which would you suggest? I am thinking a new mobo since the mobo I have now could do more harm than good. Or should I get RAM to see if the RAM was fried when my PSU failed? I see 3btech.com has a P6N SLI V2 (what's the V2 mean?) for like $80. Although, if its RAM, it could most definately be a cheaper fix (and I have more ram lol). Again, thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!!!

It has been tested and no problem to pass 1200Mhz barrier....
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 and corsair 800MHZ memory. OC to 1333MHZ.
memory used in a test:
the first group:Geil 1G 800MHZ
the second group:HyNIX 1G 800MHZ
the third group:Corsar 1G 800MHZ
the forth group:XTreem 1G 800MHZ
the fifth group:Vitesta 1G 800MHZ
If you experience the problem suggest you try with different memory brand/type.
And what stepping/revision Q6600 was this test done with? I've tried with Geil 800mhz rated sticks and Corsair 800mhz sticks in addition to my own personal Buffalo 800mhz sticks and it's all the same. At exactly 1200mhz it's like someone flipped a switch and the board won't POST. The ONLY way I've found to get it to POST past 1200mhz is to increase the VTT to 16% which is a bit worrysome... and with the 1.1 BIOS absolutely no increase in VTT is needed with the same setup. Keep in mind this has been tried with not only my own personal P6N Platinum, but also with two different P6N SLI FI boards I've got here in the shop. Heck I even ordered a brand new one just to test to see if the problem was based on a particular hardware revision.
Very puzzling... ??? ???

Ok so thats the list of parts i ordered with this. I assembled it all trying everything to get it started. I switched out working parts from my other pc. Trying to boot with one stick of ram that worked on my other pc, along with my other 600 watt OCZ powerstream power supply, still no luck either way. Tested the video card in my other pc, worked fine, along with the ram, and hard drive. Also when booting up, i get no beeps at all, and when i tryed to plug in my USB LED thing that shows errors, it does not light up and none of the leds show whats wrong.So im beginning to think that this mobo is possibly dead? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried Clear CMOS?
Unplug PSU cable, hit power button few times to ensure all power is drained.

MOVED: Slow boot with P6N SLI and Vista

Hey Jack did you read the whole thing?
Obviously not good enough. I had a look at the official BIOS update changelogs and saw that v1.2 included fixes that have to do with S3.
Quote
thought S1 was for sleep and S3 for hibernate.
Not exactly. Just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing:
Most common Important ACPI Standby-States:
- S1
This is the most shallow sleep state. Power to CPU and RAM are maintained, fans keep spinning.
- S3 (Suspend to RAM)
Power to RAM is maintained.
- S4 (Suspend to disk, Hibernate)
All content of main memory is saved on the hard drive, preserving the state of the operating system, all applications, open documents etc. After everything was saved to disk, the system will turn off.
If I am not mistaken, all you can do in BIOS is choose between S1 and S3. In Vista you should be able to choose beetween Standby/suspend (S1 or S3, depending on BIOS settings) and Hibernate (S4).
So again, which of the three states are you referring to?

Thanks for the tips, but I did get the onboard LAN adapter working again. I ended up having to power down the PC, removing all power to the mainboard, resetting the BIOS, and then it worked as expected.
My point is that the LAN adapter gets flakey when I start overclocking. I'm posting to gripe and also to see if anyone else has experienced this.
more likely this is attributed to a bug in the bios. you can flash your motherboard to the later bios release and try again. this is a very risky process as one bad flash can render your motherboard unusable. like i said, make sure u follow the instructions carefully before u proceed.

MOVED: P6N Sli Plat. weird cold boot issue

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116740.0

yeah well if I set the timing to like 5-5-5-15 or something I'm sure it'll work fine. But that's not the point... Cuz if I have to set my timings to 5-5-5-15 just to get it up to the 889mhz that I need it. I might as well just run the run in async mode at 4-4-4-12 800mhz.
Seriously I have the weirdest ram. I can run it at 4-4-4-12 800mhz with like 2.0 volts. So There's like 0.2 volts of overclocking there. But it just won't work at 889mhz. And it not like it doesn't pass memtest or orthos. The weird part is that it passes both at 889mhz at 4-4-4-12 timings at 889mhz. The problem is that it won't start cold boot. I'll have to press the power button and then press the reset button to get it to boot. I guess that's not a really big problem, but having to press that reset button each time I cold boot is just really annoying.
If I set them to 4-4-4-12 at 800mhz, the computer turns on fine.
I think the problem is the precharge for the ram. I'll bet loosening the timing will make it work, but I just don't want to loosen those timings...
I just bought new ram so we'll see if that solved my problems. :-P
It might be the electron migration thing though. I hear electron migration damage to things show up as random unpredictable problems.
I would say my problems are random and unpredictable.
By the way, I just got a couple of fans for the ran slots. They're sort of just jammed in there. Kind of not elegant really. But I now have TEN fans in the computer. I hope that helps my ram overclocking.

MOVED: P6N SLI V2 driving me nuts once again.

Right, so I've tested the board outside of the case now. I had it resting on top of the box it came in and hooked up the very basics (video, audio, mouse and keyboard).
Still the same crap, with and without the latest driver. Hooked up the front panel again (which was a bit tricky :P), and still the same results. The stupid crackling noise with the driver installed on both front and rear ports, and decent audio on the front ports without the driver. Rear panel still wouldn't work.
Honestly, I'm going to give up on this and get a new board, as this is just a joke. It seems noone has had this specific problem, but on my google searches I came across other users with all kinds of problems, so this board might just be a problematic piece of hardware to have?
Anyway, I'll keep monitoring this thread for a few more days, hoping that someone comes up with another idea, but I doubt anyone will come along with any more suggestions.
Thanks for the input anyway guys.

Hi! Good news and some bad news. Bad news is that I think my power supply can't handle the load I'm giving it because the there are 3 12v rails and the amps on each aren't that high. The good news is that I fixed the raid problem. I was searching the net last night and found this site which told me everything I needed to know about fixing that damn raid problem. The reason my computer kept restarting after I installed windows xp on raid was because xp was installing the default windows disk controller drivers after the installation completed. Sooo, to fix this I had to slipstream my nvraid drivers to the windows xp setup cd and then install. It worked like a charm! Too bad my computer still randomly shuts off. It has got to be the power supply since I've checked if the board is getting shorted and all the connections etc... So I'm planning to buy a new power supply...any suggestions...I'd also only like 1x12v rail with atleast 32A. Otherwise, I'm good . Thanks to everyone that helped and if anyone has any more suggestions about the power feel free to let me know!
The site below told me how to fix the raid problem.

Right now, I am using the stock Intel CPu cooler but I don't think temperature is a problem though cause at 2.45Ghz, its running stable at 35C. The Antec 900 case also does a very good job of cooling the system down. And its not a stability issue either (yet) cause my problem is that the system won't even boot when I set the FSB to 1600 (400x7=2.8Ghz) so it does not even have time to heat up as well. Thanks
Bolle
Thanks for the advice. I will try fiddling with the NB voltage to see it would help. I have read in one of the reviews for this MB in Newegg.com that he was able to OC his brd with the same CPU to 440x7 but unfortunately, he did not give details on how its done and since its not a forum, I have no way of contacting that person. Anyway, I will try your advice and see if there would be an improvement.
