MOVED: Some further advice on BIOS settings

This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=97654.0

I agree with Osnavi!
You wont note difference in performance if you don't play fairly modern games, and hardly then. Ít is allowance for the g. card to keep very big size pictures in normal memory, you could say. As new g. cards got so much memory onboard, I don't think you need worry whether to have 64 or 128 MB aperture, even if playing modern games.
I have had some bad experiences of Fast write and Radeon cards, though I can't absolutely point to that as a reason. Could be what model of graphics card you got.

The processor support 64bit, however, it does not support Virtualization. Technology.

Then I try to run with Vmware and VirtualPC one operating system x64 but i get the message: "Your CPU not suport x64 operating system"
Are you running VMWare/VirtualPC out of a 32bit operating system? If yes, that explains the error message.
Please try to install a 64 bit operating the regular way, not virtualize it.

New Computer locks up then loses some bios settings

I just built a new system with the following pieces
2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 4000
Board: MS-7025
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 02/17/2005
4x 512meg samsung
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT bfg oc agp
Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W
NVIDIA STRIPE 372.62G [Hard drive] (400.09 GB) -- drive 0
photosmart printer card reader (HPH11) [Hard drive] -- drive 2
PLATINUM 080G 2F5400 USB Device [Hard drive] (81.96 GB) -- drive 1
Occasionally system will have a hard freeze and require a reboot. When this happens some of my bios setting change (agp becomes pci, I have to setup raid0 again and video card memory becomes 128). This does not happen after a normal startup and no other changes occur i.e. time and date are not reset. Thanks for any help.
Clint

You lose of bios settings is classic lack of power. The 12v output for Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W is only 18a MAX, meaning you will essentially run @ about 12a under normal conditions. This isn't enough power for the Neo 2, which likes good clean power in the 24a range.

MOVED: Bios settings for single SATA Drive Help

This topic has been moved to Intel P4/Celeron boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=142931.0

Nope. Didn't work.
I can try things all day but this doesn't make sense. Surely someone knows what bios settings are required (especially on the MSI board site) to set the bios on a MSI 945p platnium motherboard. I have the sata drive plugged into the Sata 1 connector and bios still says it is ide channel 4 master. The computer will boot with just the sata drive plugged in but the problems start when I plug the ide drives in on ide 1 or 2 or 3.

HDD Is Running In "PIO", Bios Settings?

Quote from: -Knight- on 29-October-05, 03:40:27
It is a existing system. i've had this pc for 4-5 years, but it was a week ago i noticed this problem, so i dont know if it has ever been in DMA mode.
yes, 80 cond, 40 pins (well,39)
no. i have no other cables to test..
and i just erased the hdd two days ago and i have not installed any other hardwear or changed the cables after that..it's only xp and all the other updates from MS-web, so it's a cleen hdd now..no crap or anything, just up to dates.
but, i'll try to uninstall those IDE channels, be back in 10 min
I noticed on startup somthing like "DMA ...(something).... and S.M.A.R.T enabled" (something like that)
so i guess my bios has the right settings, but still..PIO
also, my IDE (hdd) cable isnot that good-looking (it's been twisted and looks like it's in bad shape), so i think i'll get anotherone soon (today or monday)
then i guess i'll have to run xp in safe mode, uninstall my IDE channels, shut off pc and replace my IDE (hdd) cable with new one, start up and let xp install drivers again..
let's hope!

Ideal BIOS Settings for online gaming

this is my 1st computer that i built. i have a lot of experience in wiring high-end electronics, so wiring this little rig with barely any visible wires/cables was a breeze. I bought the processor/mobo with the intention of only doing minor O/C as i dont really know all that much on the hardware side of improving performance. with that said, i've searched for timings and settings for my specific combination, and i cant find any. again, i dont really want to push the config past a safe level, as i will be selling this machine when the 64's come down in price. can someone help me set the proper frequencies/timings? i have a lot to learn, and even in the normal bios settings i don't know if certain things should be enabled or disabled for my main purpose, which is to simply play 3D online games very fast. i will be changing out the GeforceFX5200 PCI for a 5600 AGP in a week or so. I'm noticing that my old Comcrap PIII 1.0Ghz w/512SDRAM with this video card gets just as good a ping ingame as this rig does. the machine starts quickly, runs offline programs quickly, but online it isnt as fast as i'd hoped. from what i've read in the other forums, there are many settings in the bios that are enabled by default that don't need to be. can someone help me decipher which settings are useful and which are not. i loosely understand some of the settings but if someone could help with the questions below and/or do a walkthru for bios geared toward gaming i'd really appreciate it. The machine runs very cool (CPU 104*F/SYS 93*F) but i dont know what else needs adjustment. I simply want to make this machine go as fast and as hard as it can with the right config. i don't want to unlock the processor yet or do anything else major at this point.
1: Best yet safe Voltage for my processor and RAM
2: FSB clock; 133 or 166? had problems @ 200
3: S.M.A.R.T. on or off?
4: Best IRQ/PCI slot for video card
5: "GoodMEM" utility: how much should i safely allot?
6: Video BIOS Cacheable?
7: Multiplier setting for K7N2DeltaL & XP2600+
8: VGA Aperture (my card is 128MB but PCI. upgrading soon)
i'll be learning more as i go along, so i dont really need a full explanation of what's what, lol THIS TIME. all i need is a rundown where someone tells me what to leave alone, and what to change for a very fast yet safe gaming rig

OK I'm officially confused.
I bought the retail boxed AthlonXP2600+, which clearly states on the packaging "With 333 MHZ Frontside Bus". i bought the board over others, one reason being it supported 400MHz FSB. I go into "Advanced Chipset Features" and when i set the "System Performance" to "Manual", i can then go into the "CPU FSB Clock" settings, but the max it will allow me to go to is 233MHz (which won't boot and i have to flip the jumpers. when i had set it to 200MHz before, it failed to boot as well... PLEASE can someone look over these settings and tell me the OPTIMAL settings for taking this combo as fast as it can go w/o overclocking? What am i doing wrong? what multiplier do i need to be at. I'm under the impression that the combo works best when the clock speed of the board is at the same speed as the processor. here are the BIOS settings with which i need advice:
ADV. BIOS

BIOS settings: please help

Hello,
You can see my specifications below.
I have been busy for weeks with my graphic card to reduce it's crashing.
Now I hope that someone, seeing my specifications below, might be so kind to help me
with the system BIOS settings, who are still at "default values".
I do video editing, burning etc. but no gaming.
I don't intend extreme over clocking.
I have removed the NB-fan as reducing noise is important to me.
Could someone give me some system BIOS settings and values,
for a good performance.

Seems we do something similar. See my signature for details. For me, it
worked out better to use 5:4 rate and to increase overclock the CPU only,
because MPEG2 encoding seems still to be CPU bound and mem performance
is not that big issue. The increase of speed is aproximately the increase of
CPU performance.
To enable 5:3, you have to set DRAM timing from AUTO to 333. Still a clock
rate like 227 in my case is x15 fot the CPU but x4 /5 for the RAM, giving you
some potential with DDR400 RAM. In my case, the Corsair allow me 2-3-2-5-8
at the rate.
For me, setting ram timings to SPD allows the MB to do a lot of nasty things.
MSI is somewhat nasty anyhow. 200 MHz FSB is 203. To get something like 200,
you have to set it to 201. I prefer manual settings. PAT is enabled and disabled
just like the board wants. A lot of different behaviours for different settings
and BIOS versions. I use 1.8. Here, PAT is alwasy disabled in 1:1 when you
set RAM timings manually. When setting it SPD, it will be on in Fast and up.
For me, PAT is switched on in 5:4 even in manual. Some say, in 5:4, PAT
can never be enabled. But for encoding, I saw no difference. For cutting, also.
Disable spectrum spread. Let PIC/AGP work at 33/66 fixed. To ackomplish this,
you might have to enable SATA, even if you don't use it. It's a bug. If you
anable Parallel only, you can set "keep yes fpr Serial" in IDE settings. Look for
other hints in this forum. (Sorry, just saw in your sig that you have SATA).
For the fan: I asked the question and a lot of people said it's no recomended to
simply switch off the fan. So I decided to by a cheap manual fan control. I use
it to reduce NB fan to minimum, so I nearly not hear it. I also have a case fan
that is alread reduced and reduced further by this control. The Zalman Cu
fan is also quite silent, I also reduce it. For cutting, no problems. CPU in idle
is about 35-38c (case 33c), will not go beyond 40-42c when cutting. When I do
encoding, it will raise. In this case I have to give aprox. half throttle (I normaly
leave the room for some 12-15 hours of encoding 90 minutes CBR 6500 and
switch them to full). Otherwise temps will raise to 60c (and crash). With a bit of
fan, they will stay at around 50c, which is ok.
If you have further questions, you can also email me.

P965 Platimium Correct SATA/IDE Bios Settings

Hi I have finshed building my sons computer and loaded Windows xp Pro twice (first time I didn't load the intel raid drivers so the SATA drive wasn't recognised except in IDE mode).
I have run Sandra to get details of the drives etc and check the windows manager to see what drivers are being used for the hard drive and DVDRW drive
The Samsung drive is using the Intel Raid drivers (checked via device manager) and is reported as being in UDMA 6 (although UDMA 7 is supported reported via Sandra). Speed tests of the hard drive seem to match the standard SATA 300 drive held in Sandra data base.
The DVD is using the standard windows IDE drives in single and dual mode. It is not using the Intel drivers.
I tried fiddling with the BIOS trying different settings in the integrated peripherals menu and here are the results for the different sub menus:
1. On board raid controller
Setting to IDE : I get the DVD RW Recognised as a IDE device and burning capabilities (windows uses the standard IDE drivers not Intel or jmicro)
Setting to RAID: windows recognises the DVD RW as a SCSI device but I don't seem to get any burning facilities with the device (windows uses the jmicro SCSI driver)
2. On chip ATA devices
2.1 IDE master enabled : DVD RW works OK including burning capabilities
IDE master disabled : DVD RW works OK but cant burn a disk
2.2 Setting SATA#1 to ACHI rather than raid Windows hangs (blue screen) during boot up
Setting SARA#1 to RAID windows boots OK and hard drive recognised as ATA drive
(2.2 I know is caused by the fact that I set up the drive as a RAID drive during windows set up so no problem there.)
Please can someone tell me what should the correct bios settings be for 1 no. SATA 300 hard drive and 1 no. IDE DVDROM and what drivers ideally should windows being using. The various RAID and IDE settings are very confusing.
Thanks in advance

One of the features of AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) is Native Command Queuing (NCQ). This allows ATA drives to accept more than one command at a time and reorder commands for efficiency. The reason there is some interest in getting this setup is because it supposedly increases performance. How much of an increase I don't know. I have AHCI setup in the BIOS and Vista installed fine. I read you also need the Intel Storage Matrix drivers but I'm not sure if this just applies to XP or VISTA too; in any case I never installed them. One adverse affect of changing AHCI in the BIOS having already installed XP with no AHCI is that it will not boot afterwards. I wish somebody would weigh in on this issue and give us some good advice on best practices so we can all take full advantage of SATA.
Intel Matrix Storage drivers in AHCI mode will make the hard drives perform a little bit better, but not because of NCQ (on a single user system and OS that is). On most hard drives NCQ will cause performance to go down by a couple percent...

Suggested K8T Neo BIOS settings for CL 3 Kingston Value RAM

G'evening!
I'll be putting together a system with the Athlon 64 3000 and K8T Neo board and had a question about optimal BIOS settings for paired Kingston non-ECC DDR 3200 RAM (2x512mb) that's CAS 3. Should have gotten some CAS 2.5 probably but this is what I have for now so in it goes. I'm reading the quick users guide and noticed that you can manipulate the CAS, TCRD, TRAS, and TRP.
First question: Will the board's auto detect do a good job in picking out a stable configuration?
2nd question: If you had to or wanted to make manual settings, what would you suggest? The CAS value is rather easy since I guess it should be set to 3 but what settings would one pick for the others?
And if I still have your attention...
The other things that will be going in the system are the infamous Maxtor 120 gig SATA HD, a XFX 5900FX video card, Lite-On combo burner. Powersupply is an Antec Solution Series 400W PS. After reading the forums for a bit I get the impression that you shouldn't forget to load the SATA Promise drivers so the HD will get recognized. My SATA drive will be the only drive in the system and will of course be the boot drive. Any other possible pitfalls or problems I should know about with the Maxtor SATA's and the K8T Neo board?
Also, I had thought I read from a review that the Zalman Al-Cu CPU heatsink/fan will fit on this board. Of course after seeing it in my hands for the first time I thought that it was a pretty damn big heatsink. Anyone else using this heatsink? (haven't taken it out of the packaging yet so that's why I wanted some impressions).
Thanks for any advice you can give me. It's been a bit of time since I built a computer and I'm sure there's alot of basic things I'm relearning along with the fact that the Athlon 64 is fairly new technology. On the other hand, when it's running smoothly...

Cant offer anything on the Timing, (sorry as I am Intel Fodder ), But I can assure you that the Zalman 7000-AlCu, Will Indeed Fit onto your Motherboard (With Room To Spare!) :biggthumbsup:I can attest to this because My buddy just installed the Zalman 7000-AlCu on his K8T ....And He loves it! As do I ....It's about the only thing that we have in common as far as PC'S Go .........Sean REILLY875

Ideal KT4V BIOS settings for XP2500+ Barton

I've read AMD's recommendations for the KT4V BIOS settings http://www.amdforums.com/showindex.php?s=&threadid=186506 , but they seem to be very generic. I would like to know the settings that would give me the highest performance, without causing any instability, using my present system and usage. My son does 3D animation and gaming on this computer. This is a stand alone computer (no network). The latest version BIOS for the KT4V offers an option in Power Management Features to enable CPU HALT Command Detection. I heard that this would work better than Cooler XP in cooling the CPU. I enabled it and my CPU Temp dropped 6-10 degrees C. Is this recommended? What is the down side of this action? My system is as follows: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ w/ Vantec VA4-C7040 CPU fan (w/Arctic Silver 3) MSI KT4V mobo Gainward Golden Sample Ti/450 TV w/ 128MB DDR (GeForce3 Ti 200) 2 - Kingston 512MB PC2700 DDR RAM Antec TRUE550 power supply 1 - 40GB 7200RPM hard drive 1 - 30GB 5400RPM hard drive 1 - CD-ROM 1 - CD-RW 1 - floppy drive Windows XP home Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Barry

X61 BIOS Settings - Help

I have recently purchased a second hand Lenovo X61 ThinkPad, the person who sold it to me has reinstalled windows from the recovery DVDs.
The laptop boots Windows no problem, but I have noticed that the following BIOS security settings are on:
‘Using PassPhrase’ – Enabled
‘BIOS Password At Unattended Boot’ – Enabled
‘Password Reset Service’ – In Progress
Not having the X61 BIOS user guide /laptop user guide (I cannot find this on Lenovo’s site) I’m not sure if these settings are normal or not?
If anyone can provide some further information I would be most grateful.
One extra piece of information (not sure if it makes any difference), the laptop is also fitted with a fingerprint reader.
Many thanks
Sparkey

Thanks, but please can you explain what these enabled /pending security settings do, or point me in the direction of a downloadable user manual (I have the hardware service manual from Lenovo's site) for the X61?
The ‘password at unattended boot’ setting worries me, as the BIOS help information implies that a password will be required when the computer returns from hibernation mode?

Bios settings and tech support phone

I wanted to find out if msi has a toll free tech support number or what their number is for tech support? it's not listed on the web site that I could find nor is it in their motherboard manual.
Also can anyone please give me some bios settings recomendations? Or is their an FAQ with bios settings recomendations? I also just updated my bios today to 1.9.
I'm going to get new ram though more then likely. It'll be ddr pc3200, either from crucial or who is good? 1gb in 2 512mb sticks.
So I was just hoping for some bios advice please. I also will not be overclocking right now. So everything is for stability.

Load Optimal Default seems OK for most. You may need to change those peripherals settings such as enable/disable RAID, 1394 etc. The rest leave as it is.
