Yes, on the P7N SLI Platinum Bios version v1.1 it isn't there, is there another way or is there an update planned?
It is also not listed in the mainboard Bios manual.

that is even better for an air cool, by the way did you increase the memory freq manually or it was increased as you increased fsb?? ??? cheers
Once again a slight manual tweak on the FSB and Memory settings and I can now getting it stable running at 3.66Ghz (Air Cooled)
Temps 37c idle to 46c running UT3 (running for about an hour)
I'm running the Memory Voltage at 2.10v, everything is stable no problems, no crashes or BSOD,
The OCZ SLI Edition Memoryboards seems to handling it well..
Memory is clocked at 966Mhz, this seems to be the highest I can take it, any higher and Quake3 Demo locks and it says driver fault..
This seems to be the most stable overclocking setting I can reach so far..
Maybe a increase on the CPU or FSB,NB voltages might gain me a few more higher freq settings..
BIOS Settings
And from 764fps on Q3 Demo Test at 1280x1024 running at 3.54Ghz
To 796.9 fps at the same Screen Res running at 3.66Ghz

P7N SLI Platinum Virtualizaton?

Hello,
I have been searching but can't seem to enable the CPU Hardware Virtualization on this mainboard. I thought this had to be supported by the CPU (which is the case, I have a E6750), but apparently the mainboard also needs to support this? Or does this feature has an other name on the BIOS?
Thanks in advance,
Photubias

Hi again!
Thank you all for your help.
1- I would like correct one point about long delay. it is not a delay it is eternal frozen (dead stalling).
2- I tried many possibilities with my PC and I only find out my PC is perfectly running with my E6550 CPU.
3- Reinstalling windows is my last resort.
4- Windows Vista 64? What is special about it? and I am not looking for more trouble ;-). Also, I have unplugged everything, except power cable, VGA, 4-SATA and 2-PATA Cables, ATX power cables, with no success.
5- I have one thing to check (Please check the photo link below).
Similar to my previous MSI P6N SLI V2 motherboard, I have used the ATX 4pin power cable in the square are. Well, is it a must to connect the 8pin cable in the JPWR2, shown in circle A? However, I am using that one for my MSI-7800GTX256 VGA card (through an 8pin-to-6pin adapter cable).
Second, if yes, can the 6pin cable, shown in circle B, be used with the VGA card as I have some doubt about the location of Vcc and GND cable?
I am looking forward for you value help.
Cheers,

if the on-board sata controller is set to RAID I receive a "Not enogh space to copy PCI option ROM [04:00:00]" error and the system boots normally from SATA. I receive no other messages for the Prmise.
Quote
there is not enough space in the MB BIOS to load the TX4660 BIOS.
This is not about there not being enough space in "BIOS". It is about reserved address space in system memory. Have a look at this:
I have marked the reserved address range for Option ROMs in red (it is here labeld as "Add-In Card BIOS and Buffer Area"). The space is limited to 128KB and this limit cannot be changed because of general x86/PC compatibility guidlines that exist since the early DOS days and still exist today.
This Option ROM Space that is reserved within a limited address range within system memory (128KB). All invoked option ROMs have to fit in there (onboard RAID Controller Option ROM, your TX-4660 Option ROM, Video Card Option ROM, USB Controller Option ROM etc.). They will, of course, not fit into that designated 128KB window and that is why you get this message:
Quote
Not enogh space to copy PCI option ROM [04:00:00]

- BUT! If you disable the on-board USB controllers and raid the TX-4660 BIOS is loaded and runs perfectly
- I've finally added a third party USB controller and the system is still working...
Well, it looks like you already found a workaround then.
You could also check for a firmware update for your Promise FastTrack TX-4660, perhaps a different firmware version will reduce the size of the invoked Option ROM.

P7N SLI Platinum Unstable with over 2GB ram and/or dual channel memory on.

Hello need some help or to report something to MSI regarding blue screens, freezes when booting Vista 64 (SP1 + all fixes installed) with more then 2GB ram. Single channel mode works (either 1 stick of 2 GB or 3 sticks of 2GB) and is rock stable. Booting with 2 x 2 or 4 x 2 yields instability and blue screens.
I read over Microsoft's hotfix KB929777 however it appears this patch was applied during SP1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 - when I attempted to apply this hotfix I got the message this update does not apply to your system.
Memory tested in other gaming system using 4 sticks of G.Skill 1066 DDR2 ram and still have the same issues. Other forums like Evga.com, Tom's hardware and 411overkill.com tend to suggest some problem with this new bios version 2.0, written by Nvidia. Some others mention possibly an Nvidia nforce driver issue.
Therefore, under duress during testing - with 1 stick or 3 sticks of ram, all tests perfect and passes all stability tests, good marks in Sandra, plays any game. With 2 or 4 sticks of ram, very unstable won't stay up but for seconds.
Any ideas? (Tested 7 ways until Sunday!)
My other rig, rocks solid and stable with Vista 64.... It's the Evga new mainboard 780i with triple SLI (132-CK-NF78-A1), 8gb of Gskill 1066ddr2, MSI 8800GT (x2 sli mode) Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz - Raid 0 on dual WD caviar 640 gb/sata 3.0gb/sec. Seasonic 700w p/s. 8gb of memory and not a hiccup. Ram 2.0 volts, cpu @ 1.36v. Will handle the memory from both systems with out fault.
Considering I can swap memory back and forth and confirm it's not the sticks, swap graphics boards (own 3 of them!) and rule out that....
Fyi. Any help is appreciated!

Dump question, but have you pickup the correct update e.g. for 64bit? ==> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=91672C7C-614B-404C-850C-377541E93C18&displaylang=en
"This comes inside SP1 for vista 64, as noted with my other system during the build. "
Better double check it.
Install all four memory sticks and do a memory check with >>Memtest86<< 1st, ensure that no error(s) will comes during testing.
Also how about that?:
Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 07-April-08, 23:55:36
Remove your OC then see how its goes.
"When the system boots in single channel mode (only 2 or 6gb of ram meaning 1 or 3 sticks installed into the 4 slots) its' rock stable. When it boots into dual channel mode (2 x 2 sticks or 2 x 4 sticks) extemely unstable. "
That means, timings are too tight, or they need a bit more vcore help, or some of the memory stick has failure.
"MSI P7N SLI Platinum - MS-7380 - Bios 2.0 on Vista Ultimate 64-bit - all updated."
That BIOS is not for your board, you should use 1.xx

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.

P7N SLI Platinum and power consumption?

Having a hard time OC'ing my Q6600 on the P7N SLI platinum!!

Well, first of all, I am new here, so hello to you all guys!
I just purchased the p7n yesterday. I had a P6N SLi-V2 before and wasn't able to get over the 3.0 GHz (stable)! I thought the P7N will a much better overclocker but find myself having a really hard time get it over 3.0 GHz again!?
Tried different versions of the bios (1.0,1.1,P04 and now 2.0) with no succes! Maybe anyone can help me out here and maybe share some bios setup? Will really appreciate it
My rig:
Q6600 C2Q G0-stepping
Tuniq Tower 120 CPU cooler
P7N SLI Platinum
1 x 2 GB TakeMS PC6400 DDR2 RAM
2 x MSI NX8800GT OC 512MB

Quote from: troopertroop on 20-April-08, 22:22:09
Man, this turns out to be like a disaster :S:S I tried everything and now it won't even be stable @ 3.0 GHz with vcore 1.35, vram 2.2, fsb vtt 1.45, nb 1.4 and SB 1.5 (random reboots like crazy!). I have the intention to get some better OC's going from a p6n sli v2 to this board and it's even doing WORSE??????? The only weakpoint I can think about is my single stick 2GB TakeMS pc6400, but I never go over the stock speed of 800 MHz, so can that still be a bottleneck even at stock speed or even lower?
Any help will be welcome...
I found out the hard way.........if you are not running memory from the QVL list with this mobo, you will have problems with it. I was running mine with team xtreem 3-3-3-8 microns and all I had was errors and corruption when I overclocked. I had to reformat and switch back to the performance bios and now running corsair dominators 3-4-3-9 and this is the first set that can run at 1200 mhz at 5-5-5-18 2T 2.2 v with the fsb at 1600. I 'm using an E8400. I have read that using non approved memory and this board will not overclock properly. The only non approved memory that works in my system is geil ultra 8000's and these are the originals running D9GCT's. For stability you should try OCZ, Corsair, Mushkin, Buffalo, Kingston. I have also had problems with crucial ballistix as I've found most of there modules are in someway defective and or not compatible with MSI and have rma multiple sets. I have a previous post going from P6N FI to P7N and have listed all the memory that I have tried on this board. OCZ and corsair work the best and geil can be used but will not oc past 1142 mhz with stability. I think after a few bios updates this board will be able to use more different types of memory without stability issues.

Problem with my p7n sli platinum

Hello,
i just bought the P7N SLI Platinum for my new system and use an old ATI X1800XT as my gpu.
after finished installing all the hardware,then i tried to install a fesh copy of windows xp...
the problem is, every time my computer tried to login into the windows.. a blue screen will appear..
i suspect the problem is due to the x1800xt..therefore i tried to use it with my old intel motherboard but it can login into windows perfectly well..
does anyone know what the cause of this problem? is it because i'm using ati card with nvidia chipset?
please everyone help me!!

* There is insufficient disk space on the drive on which you installed Windows.
* There is an outdated or incompatible third-party driver (or drivers) installed on your computer -- for example a faulty video driver.
* There are system BIOS incompatibilities.
Finally, my system is now working perfectly but I'm still not sure what is the cause for all of this madness.
I didn't change any of the hardware or the drivers.
I don't think this is because of the insufficient disk space because after many series of failure with this board, I have tried to install a fresh windows copy using the same hard drive with my previous motherboard and everything seems to be running smoothly...it could finish the installation process..and safely loading into windows...
Then when I tried with this board again, still no improvement at all...i tried again..again...and again...until i was frustrated enough to made some random changes in the bios settings and FINALLY...it works!!..
I have no idea what were the changes that I've made in the bios...maybe it was just my luck....but I do notice the change in my cpu vcore..before this, it was running at 3.0GHz with default vcore of 1.080v...but now, the default vcore has suddenly changed to 1.250v with the same frequency of 3.0Ghz...and I couldn't find any way to return the voltage back as before..is this normal? I thought E8400 with E0 stepping should have lower vcore...isn't it?

RAID 0 on my board (P7N SLI Platinum)

Hi guys, I'm gonna be honest and admit I'm a beginner when it comes to these kinds of things.
Now thats out of the way, I've got two drives of the same size, revision and manufacturer, so I wanted to set them up in RAID 0 for faster load times and such. Though I don't have any idea where to start with this..
I have Vista 64bit Home Premium,
MSI P7N SLI Platinum
Q6600
8800GT SLI
2x 500gb SATA Seagate Barracuda 7200.11
4gb of RAM
I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to give me a simple, easy to follow step-by-step process for setting up a RAID 0 system. I need help with the BIOS settings, the drivers and where to get them, and anything else (intel matrix if needed??)
The manual doesn't mention how to do it, well..if it does I dont understand it, also I couldn't find any help on google so I thought I would come to a place where people will know about these things.
It's going to be for gaming and general windows use so I want to it to be as performance orientated as possible - I daren't try myself as I don't have the ability to fix it if I really mess it up I will seriously appreciate it if you can help me!
Thanks

here is how I did it:
enter the bois by pressing del, then go to integrated peripherals then to on-chip ata devices. You will see there a setting called raid mode it is set to ide change that to raid mode. Now enable sata1 and sata 2 oh make sure u drives is on sata1 & 2 . now save and exit. As the pc boot up there will a option to press f10 to create the raid. once in the utility change the mode from mirror to stripping(raid 0) , at the bottom of the screen you will see 2 boxes one on the left hand side will have your drives in it now move to the drive with the arrow keys and move both to the right hand side once there press ctrl+x to create the raid or read at the bottom of the screen for the options.
Once your is created load vista normally and then when it asks to what drive u want to install it will be blank remove the vista cd and insert your driver cd for vista. Now click on load then browser then navigate to E:\ChipSet\Nvidia\Vista64\C72+MCP55\IDE\WinVista64\sataraid and click ok a list of driver will appear select all and click next. After this u will be taken back to the screen where you will now see your hard drive click on it and install vista like normal
Hope this was help full as i do it this way

P7N SLi Platinum - Network & (large) Hard Drive Issues

Hello, everyone. I'm hoping someone can help me out here (though I suspect I'm screwed). Several nights ago, I was sitting at my machine playing some Tera when suddenly I got a blue screen. They've been a pretty rare occurrence for this system, but I realize that from time to time, they happen, so I wasn't all that concerned. I just rebooted and figured everything would be back to normal. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Windows (7 - 64bit) took a noticeably longer time to pull up the full desktop and I noticed an error condition on the network icon in the system tray.
Naturally, I pulled up my network settings and Windows told me that I was on an "Unidentified Network" with "No network access." I figured it was possible that I'd nudged the cable or something, so I looked at it and noticed that, instead of a flashing green light on the Ethernet port, it was flashing orange (this board does normally flash green, right?). I changed ports on the switch and when that didn't help, I changed cables. Still nothing. I installed the latest nForce drivers and still nothing.
That's about the time I noticed another problem. I pulled up Windows Explorer to look for something on my data drive (3TB Seagate) and after an inordinately long time, I realized that it wasn't going to come up. I rebooted again and went into the BIOS settings and, to my horror, discovered that the BIOS, which was showing the drive at its correct capacity before, was now showing it as 800GB.
I have NO idea what happened. It's possible there was a power surge (there was a storm in the distance), but the only two things that are affected are the network and that one hard drive. I updated to the latest BIOS and that didn't help at all, either. So... any ideas? Or am I just going to have to track down a new MB?
Thanks,
Sam

Far as I know, that board is not capable of properly supporting a HDD over 1TB?

You can try a power off, PSU power cord pulled, battery removed, CMOS clear and settings reset.
