MSI 655 and CL=2

hi guys, I'm looking to upgrade my mobo to a 655 but I have some questions. I've read a few reviews and alot said they had troubles running the ram modules (ddr333) at CL2. Have any of you guys experienced any problems with your ram running at CL2? Thanks in advanced.

Although this board is touchy with RAM, I believe the CAS 2 problem only occurs with dual DDR400. If your RAM can support it, your 333 RAM should be OK (you might have to force it though).
DISCLAIMER: I'm not sure about this, so please don't base your decision on whether or not to buy the board from this. Read through the forum about this board and see if it still suits your needs.

Msi 655 max fisr ht ready: does it have fsb800 support?

i own msi 655 max fisr mobo, that supports ddr333 and fsb 533 as msi says. but it can handle also ddr 400 through overclocking and the bios has an option for fsb selection up to 250 mhz. according to me, this meens that one can use a cpu at fsb 800 by overclocking the mobo from the bios, even if it doesn't support the microcode of the cpu. does anyone have tested this statement, as at the time it is onlu speculation by me, as it is too expensive for my to buy new cpu and try it.
moreover, my revision of the mobo is stepping b0, thus it supports ht cpus and if it proves to support fsb 800 by overclocking, then i can keep it for a while, upgrading my system only with new cpu. i'll be thankful if anyone can provide me with some information on this topick.

What I am trying to explain is the downclocking of a DDR 400 RAM 1st to 333 Mhz then try to o/c to get DDR 400 or above, not saying that you are wrong.
Any board can support o/c'ing but it is all up to whether the hardwares that you have and their capability to do so as no one can actually determined whether or not the hardwares that you have will definately let you ends up the way it's really meant to be as there's always important facts being left out so it's always trial and error...
I have 2 of these systems running on the same mobo, but the highest I can reached with DDR 400 RAMs are just near DDR 400 not exactly 400 MHz and FSB are at near 170 quad = 170 x 4 = 680FSB... from a FSB 533 CPU. Both have different results as 1 is with DDR 333 RAMs o/c'ed to 380MHz on 2.8 B CPU and another with DDR 400MHz down to 333MHz then o/c'ed up to near 400Mhz on 2.8B CPU also...

MSI 655 Won't boot.

I have a problem with my comuputer. It started with the computer freezing after a while. It had nothing to do with Windows, since it froze in Windows-installer or when booting from floppy too. Now the computer won't boot at all, the POST-message never appears on the screen after power-on. I have tested RAM and GFX in other computers, and they work fine. I have also tested with another power supply unit, with the same result. So I think it is the motherboard that is the problem, but I wanted to hear if anyone else has exprienced a similar problem. I have not installed any new hardware recently, and it has worked fine for 8 months.
My system:
MSI 655 Max FISR
P4 2.53 GHz
512 MB OCZ DDR400
PoV Gforce 4 Ti4200 128 MB
160 GB Maxtor SATA IDE
350W PSU

Ok, I need to admit that the 655Max was a problematic board... I was also told by my local distribution engineer that ver1.0 of the chipset was not well made so alot of problems surfaced out. But before fully pointing my 10 little fingers on the mobo, I would like to ask some questions.
1) List out the Specs of the PSUs that you've used before or tested before on this system.
2) Did you lower your DDR400 RAMs to DDR 333MHz in BIOS first before installing and anything else?

Photosmart D110a Wireless Troubleshooting with D-Link DIR-655 and Mac OSX 10.8

Good evening all,
Apologizes if this has already been posted. I've googled this issue a couple of times, but I still haven't found a solution for this problem.
I have the Photosmart D110a and I'm running Mac OSX Mountain Lion, and my router is a D-Link DIR-655 and my security is WPA-Personal and the router is running in 802.11gn mode. My ISP is Optimum Online.
The issue that I've been having is that the printer works wireless when everything has been recently booted up. As does the scanner. However, if it hasnt been used for a while, the printer shows up in the OSX Print & Scan settings page as idle, but when I try to print, the dialog just says "looking for printer" and never finds it, and just says "The printer is not connected" under the item in the OSX Print Queue. Because of this, I have to restart the computer or restart the printer for them to find each other again.
I've seen other solutions on here, such as giving the printer a static IP address, and this hasn't worked either. The printer is still accessible with the static IP address, which means it's still got a connection to my network, but for some reason the OS isn't recognizing it or something.
It's obvious that the printer works when everything is freshly rebooted, but I still haven't been able to figure out this issue once it's been idle for a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,
Try following my post below, I believe it might be relevant as the router drops the Bonjour connection:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/losing-connection-to-airprint-a-few-min...
I would also suggest updating your router's firmware and check if that may help:

For any help with this proccess I would highly recommend contacting Dlink support.

Linking D-Link DIR 655 and AirPort Extreme

Help! I need to link my D-Link DIR-655 and new Airport Extreme, but have no idea how to do it. I use the D-Link as my base router and want to use the Airport Extreme as a repeater/range extender upstairs in the house (the D-Link is in my office in the basement)where I use my Macbook Pro. The D-Link signal isn’t strong enough to reach areas of the upstairs. How can I make these two pieces of hardware work together? Is it possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m not a tech whiz.

I use the D-Link as my base router and want to use the Airport Extreme as a repeater/range extender upstairs in the house
The "extend a network" feature of the Extreme is intended to extend a wireless network created by another 802.11n Apple Airport product (Extreme, Express or Time Capsule).
Wireless repeaters or "extenders" use proprietary techniques that don't work well among different manufacturers. To extend your network wirelessly in the manner you seek would require that you replace your D-Link with another Airport, or replace the Express with a D-Link product.
The ideal solution in your case would be to run an Ethernet cable between the devices. That will work.

HT2305 I downloaded, and have two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens?

I downloaded 2 updates (download only), and there's two .msi files and one setupadmin.exe file. I click the latter and nothing happens? How am I meant to do install these updates?

Sorry I forgot to mention I was doing this on a PC with Vista (the heading was Windows so I didn't bother to mention this). Anyway by trial and error I found that you can click on the .msi files to install them. The files were downlads of updates to iTunes and iCloud Control Panel.

MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD won't work

Hello, I've just purchased the parts to construct an entirely new computer, and I've chosen MSI Z77A-G41 motherboard. I put everything together, and I loaded Win XP on, and my plan is to upgrade to Win 8 during their special offer. I needed to go into Setup and change the SATA mode from AHCI to IDE, so that I could install XP. Once I had XP up and running, I inserted the MSI Drivers and Utilities DVD to load all of the drivers. However, when I put the disc in, it auto-runs, the driver/utility screen is shown 'blacked out' and I immediately receive a Windows error message: "DVD Setup Application" error. I went in through Windows Explorer to the programs on the DVD, and found DVD setup. By trying to run this from within Explorer, it takes me to the same error as when I auto-run.
The only thing I can think of is that I need to change something else in Setup, to run Win XP because it's so old? I'm pretty sure that there's nothing wrong with the new DVD burner, because I've used it to install XP, and also to extract and install Service Pack 2 and 3 (which I downloaded on another computer and transferred on a CD). If I knew exactly what needed to be installed from the MSI DVD, I could try doing it from within Windows Explorer. But, I'd still like to figure out what the Setup Application error message is telling me.
Any helpful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

A further note before I head off to bed. I was able to install Win XP service packs 2 and 3 using my new burner, and I've activated with Microsoft and downloaded and installed 117 updates. I have now used this same DVD burner that won't recognize or work with the MSI driver/utilities DVD, to install all of the drivers for my video card---that DVD auto-ran just fine. So, after doing some searches on Google about the "DVD Setup Application" error, not a lot of help but most people say that if another DVD will spin up and load things OK---it must be the fault of the DVD that won't load. In other words, I don't think that there's a problem with anything in the Setup on the motherboard.
So, if anyone has any further ideas, please let me know. Otherwise, I'm going to contact MSI tomorrow and see about a replacement DVD. Thanks.

Cannot open msi clock and msi info

hi i am having some small problems with my
mx440-td8x.. when i open the properties for the card i cant open the options msi information and the msi clock. it says: error when the file f:´WINNITsystem32desk.cpl for the controlpanel was opening. what shal i do to fix it?

Guys,
You could go get the latest nVidia Detonator4 Drivers from the nVidia Website. Then you can delete the file msicpl.dll from your Windows directory.
For the extra features:
Use notepad to make a new file and put in it what I quoted below and then save it with the .reg extension.
Quote
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARENVIDIA CorporationGlobalNVTweak]
"Coolbits"=dword:ffffffff
"NvCplEnableAGPSettingsPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableAdditionalInfoPage"=dword:00000001
"NvCplEnableClearViewPage"=dword:00000001
Double Click on it and it will make an entry into your registry.
That will open all the extra options in the Detonator4 Drivers including the Core and RAM Speeds for your GF4.
Take Care,
Richard

Actually MSI does do some testing

MSI 6330 and AMD Duron 850mhz.

Hello!
I bought a msi 6330 and a AMD Duron 850mhz in May/01. Never had any stability problems... I only made on overclock to 901mhz increasing the fsb and the computer worked fine to me until now. I have a good cooler and my sys temp. after running Quake 3 Arena is 40/45ºC max. Some days ago the computer stoped booting at first time, i had to turn it of on the power unit and turn it on again. In saturday it stoped working... *puff* I have a d-led error: 1-0-0-0 -> 'Early Chipset Initialization', I guess... I've cleared the cmos, just like before... And it still doesn't work! I've took out everything, cleaned up all dust from the computer.. but it back again, and nothing! Gawd.. What can it be? Can I still use the waranty? I know that passed one year until now... It's not the first time that i have problems with msi hardware.. I bought an kt266 based mobo that didn't worked... An GeForce 2 mx 400 64sdr graphics card... I guess i'm going to change my mobos and gfx suplier! :\
I don't know what to do.. Can anyone help me or give me an advice? Thanks.

As you are going to look inside, please give all possible PC specs includding P.Su. brand and how much AMPS. it gives to 3.3v. 5v. and 12v. Most possible is a very cheap P.Su. and this can lead you to big problems.
