MSI 6600GT Diamond Overheat problem

Hi there, i just got back my gc from RMA and this new problem happen to me
this card will overheat (more that 85celcius) even if i play NFSC or Serious Sam 2 at low setting.
the idle temp id around 55-58 celcius for the GPU. and MSI Core Cell program cannot detect my fan speed, means this program only show 0 RPM speed. even worst is the fan is spin at same speed even my gc temp is arise.
i already install latest driver for mobo and gc and even use msi cd installer driver but this problem still not solve.
so here i need any opinion to solve this prob
thx

Clan204,
Just to test, try opening the side of your case and pointing a room fan at your CPU and Vid Card.
Monitor the temps and report back the difference.
Take Care,
Richard

MSI K9N DIAMOND boot problems

Hi.
I have given the main PC sig below to my son. And I now have / building
MSI K9N DIAMOND AM2 nvidia nForce 590 SLI 8channel audio DDR2 ATX
Corsair 1GB DDR2-6400 128Mx64 non-ECC 240 DIMM unbuffered 5-5-5-12
AMD 2x 5600 cpu
I have kept the PSU, wifi card.
(will update when up and running.)
When I put his harddrive (SATA) into his new PC it saw it straight away and booted into xp,without having to reinstall . Great.
I put my drive into the new AM2 board and I get three beeps (I read that's the USBs)
Then it either just hangs on a black screen or if i enable raid it tries then the BSOD code 0x0000007E which i believe is just a standard error message.
The D-bracket has 4 green lights...
does anyone know why I cant just boot up my drive like i could with my sons, is it because i'm switching to AM2 from 939?
When I enter the raid setup (F10) it can see the drive but next to where it says bootable drive which is normally a yes or a no it has N/A and I cannot change it.
I belive it is a raid/ driver problem I'm thinking its the AM2 upgrade.
I did not get any floppy raid drivers with my mo/bo.
If I reinstalled Xp would I need to install raid drivers during setup? (F6)
I have clears cmos
Many thanks for any help.

hello
I plugged my sons drive into my K9N Diamond and it is saying the same thing in the raid setup (F10) .....When you have the option to set as the bootable drive
Quote "set as boot drive N/A"
It can see the drive OK, I can delete array and rebuild it
Is there something in the bios that I need to tick or untick/ enable for it to boot from the drive?
any help would be great.
thanks

Msi k2n9 diamond raid problems/questions

Hi, yesterday I bought 2 hard drives western digital 1 TB Caviar Blue 32mb cache each and wanted to make a raid stripe array, so they work as one and are twice as fast.
I had problems installing windows XP, so I tried windows 7. It detected the raid array, partitioned it, and installed the windows, but in the device manager I got other devices -> RAID Controller and no drivers for it. I also have a Coprocessor, but that may be the chipset drivers, that I didn't install yet.
The windows 7 is currently installed on the array, but I can't really see the performance difference. All disk information tools say it's currently 32 cache, shouldn't it be 64? And the speed is the same ~ 40-60 mb/s copy rate, 100mb/s sata-sata transfer rate.
With windows XP I tried installing the extra drivers from the web site from a floppy drive during installation, but the installation didn't detect the array at all.
Can somebody give me a clue how to fix my problem? And if you have any idea what software can I use to check the raid transfer rate and proper performance?

Hello! It is a bit "dangerous" to help someone without knowing what the system looks like. What little you said, K2N9 motherboard, doesn't exist. Have a look here http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodarchive&maincat_no=1 Go to the title "AM2", because a fair guess lands you there. In order to help with your driver questions we need to know what the drivers are for, you see. An alternative would be to go to Nvidia's site, where you can pick most things you need: www.nvidia.com.
Coprocessor? Might it be - if you in fact have a processor - there are more than one core?
The cache thing is a little new to me, but one must remember you have one disk now, not two. Partitioning deals with the first bytes of data on this single hard disk, and not with the "RAM" memory.
Noticing a difference can be hard, but if you were to return to no-RAID status you will, for a little while, hate the longer boot-up time and slower start of programs. Since it runs at all, 100 mb/s read time is not out of order.
well i misplaced the numbers, it's k9n2, it's not that big mistake, and I know my system well. I have two disks, but one array, and i think the cache must be 2x, because the idea of raid 0, simultaneously writing bits on both disks. The logical idea is that if you write something to e drive with 32 mb cache you will be able to write the same thing on two drives with 32 mb cache each which makes it 64 mb
The coprocessor part is solved, after I installed the chipset drivers, but the raid thing is still there.

If you are mixing 2*512MB twinmos twister with WLCSP chips with 2*256MB kingston hynix based TSOP chips
i don't think it's strange that you have those experiences .
Or is it twisters with tsop dimm packages (twister-pro) .
I under the impression that twister with wlcsp isn't the best compability for the A64's memory controller , they seem to work best at P4 setups .
Try with only one type of modules .
It's hard for the motherboard to set timings by spd if the modules are all of different programmed spd proms .
Remember that 3.4.4.8 is spd data for DDR533 operation for one pair and 3.4.4.8 for 500DDR operation for the other pair.
What (if they have any) are the spd data they have for DDR400 (it's the 200mhz/DDR400 spd data the motherboard shall read).

MOVED: MSI P6N Diamond OC Problems

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.

My temps are very good, actually, with a zalman 9700 led and arctic silver grease. 26 C idle and ~35 C at load with stock 2.4 ghz speed.
I'm pretty sure the mobo is the source of the problem. It doesn't seem like to like setting my corsair pc8500 at its rated 1066mhz either.

MSI P6N Diamond OC Problems

I am having a really hard time overclocking on this board past 1150 fsb 9x on a Q6600 processor.
I'm pretty sure the speedstep is giving me a problem, but the C1E option is nowhere to be found in the bios (1.0). CPUZ constantly shows the processor downstepping to 1.6ghz on a 8x multiplier. The C1E option is clearly labeled in the manual but it definitely not in the actual bios. What's up with this?
Bios 1.1 was even worse.

MSI K8N Diamond - Boot problems with USB devices attached.

Hi There.
I have been seeking the forums, but havent found the answer to my problem yet.
This is how it goes with ANY USB devices attached to either of the four USB ports on the Motherboard.
When i turn on my system, it hangs in the POST right after displaying the BIOS version (Which I have updated to 1.6) - I cant use my Keyboard to get to the BIOS setup.
Without USB devices attached...
The system boots without problems. And in Windows XP SP2 i can insert my keyboard, mouse etc. and everything works great - both USB 1.1 & 2.0 devices.
I have disabled the KB/USB.. in BIOS and I have disabled the "Boot on other device" option as well.
As I have found on this forum, a lot of people have problems with USB Front panel and D-Bracket (USB ports) connectors causing the system to hang - But my D-Bracket (USB connectors) and my front USB port is at this time DISCONNECTED - so this cannot be the problem.
The D-Bracket shows the "Bios Sign On" information - and stops at that point
Am I having a malfunctioning Motherboard here, or are there any solutions to this problem?
Please help me as I am desperate to have my system work properly.
Regards
Stieper

Well I have read about that somewhere in here, but my problem is NOT with an USB hub, but with any USB device attached to the motherboard's USB slots. It is driving me nuts to be honest!! I think it might be time for RMA
What do you say guys - is my Motherboard ready for RMA, or do I have to try something specific berfore sending it to the retailer??

Msi K8n Diamond IDE problems

Hi,
Can anyone help me with this problem? I brought this motherboard last July had problems with when i firts set up. And its always the same problem. When i burn a dvd or cd i get to 60% and the computers rest. Last year i just rebuild my xp with old drivers. This year, i forget and i download the lastest one and got the problem back. I belive its some thing to do with the creative labs drivers and the nvidia force drivers notl liking each other. I have update the asipi lvl and done all the microsfot updates. I just cant burn a dvd or cd without it restarting. The rest the computers works great. I have no problems with it. Can anyone please share what they did if they had the problem? Thx for your help.

Hello !!
Did you install the Nvidia IDE SW Driver ? Deinstall it, use the ones that are provided by microsoft.
To do so open software properties, select nforce drivers and deinstall the nvidia ide driver, but only this one !
After restart the M$ drivers will be installed.

MSI 6600 diamond PCI-E/ 3DMARK05 = 739/ PSU Problem?

This is my first post, so forgive me if it's not OK.
I have an MSI NX6600 VTD128E diamond. I am getting the Nvidia Sentinal warning approx. 75% of the time. I just installed an Enermax EG465P-VE FMA. I'm not sure if the specs will show up in my profile, so they are 3.3v - 35A, 5v - 35A, 12v - 33A. From all the reading I have done I thought this would solve my problem, but it did not. My original PSU was a 300W Hipro with dual 12v rails @ 18A each that came with my computer, and I got the warning everytime I turned it on, which is why I switched for the new one.
These cards get there power from the PCI-E slot on the motherboard with no option for an extra power connector. At this point I don't know if I need a new PSU with dual 12v rails, or if there is something else causing the problem. From reviews of other 6600 cards I think my 3DMARK05 numbers should be between 2600-3200? Any thoughts or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thanks for the reply blazing storm.
I have had 1 or 2 restarts trying beta drivers, 71.81 and MSI's 71.22 caused a strange xp screen saying please wait, but it never booted up. Far cry wouldn't load with one of them. This is the only game I'm playing right now and it actually runs pretty good with settings on High. My clock speeds were at 400/800 after the Sentinal warning so I'm not sure what it is doing, but my marks definatly suggest something is wrong. Everything runs ok with the 66.93, which I used before the beta's and I am using them now.I didn't get the warning when I started my Comp this time so I think I will try 3DMARK05 again just to see if there are any changes.
From what I understand about Memtest (very little) I need a floppy drive, but I don't have one. Am I correct or is there another way to use the program? Anybody else have some ideas? Please.
PS- could someone explain the differences between ATX12V, ATX V1.0, V1.3, V2.0, V2.3? etc. Do the new PCI-E boards need a specific version? Thanks.

I connected all pins as said in he manuals, and replaced the two jumpers with the pins, no problems so far. The problem is that my microphone is not working properly in my frontpanel.
Its seems to work but when I record my sound in Windows Soundrecorder I get a flatline but can hear my sound I recorded... in MSNmessenger and Windows Speech hardware test my sound is POOR( bad and soft sound ). I have no clue anymore ... anything is connected properly :(

I hope this is all the info ya'll need and are willing to help me.
Thanks in advance

Check the manual, but if you use the microphone plug-in in the back on the motherboard, you might disable microphone input
to the front case header panel. I believe if you use the microphone in the back, it disables microphone input from the front. Also be sure to check the multimedia/sound settings near the clock to make sure you don't have anything muted in advanced tabs found.

MSI K8N Diamond not booting

I have a slight problem with MSI K8N Diamond. It is not booting and according to the manual d-bracket says memory error.
My system:
Motherboard: MSI K8N Diamond
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3000+ Winchester (socket 939)
Memory: 2x Corsair ValueSelect 512M
Graphics card: PNY GeForce 6600GT 128M
Hard disk: Western Digital Caviar 200GB IDE
Power supply: Antec SmartPower 350W
PSU's Max DC Outputs:
+5V: 35A
+12V: 21A
+3.3V: 28A
-5V: 0.5A
-12V: 0.8A
+5VSB: 2.0A
When I got motherboard, I plugged everything in and it seemed to work. I got to sleep and on the morning the motherboard didn't boot up anymore. D-Bracket just says memory error and nothing comes to screen. Because of that I sent the first motherboard for RMA (did cost me 27 euros). I got new motherboard today, but I have the exactly same problem. System not booting up because of memory error.

... or my processor's pci-express is broken....
You probably mean Hyper-Transport....
As for the PSU, you can try with the PSU of your friend to test the MOBO.
But do the following, take the MOBO out of the case and test it outside on top of a pile of newspapers, then put in the CPU+HSF, memory 1 stick in slot 1, gfx, and your friend's PSU, press the CMOS reset button, connect the AC plug to the PSU and start it. Test it like this...and post back with results...
Be well....

MSI K9N2 Diamond w/ AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE Overheating

Motherboard Version = 1.1
BIOS = ? (Just purchased, but have an RMA on the processor for the issue listed below, so I'm not sure of the version)
I purchased the MSI K9N2 Diamond and an AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE. According to the CPU support page, this processor does work with the board. Also, MSI Tech Support said:
Quote
Yes, this board could support Phenom II X4 955.
and
Quote
We have verified this CPU for this board on our lab with no problem
As far as I can tell, the processor works with the board because it does boot and recognizes it. However, it overheats extremely fast. The processor temps exceed 62C (Max Recommended CPU Temp) in under 30 seconds. I reseated the cooler several times with various thermal pastes so I'm sure that is not the issue. I was wondering if anyone knew of an existing problem between this processor or board, or if it was probably just a defective core.

Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Try your setup outside of pc case on a piece of non-conducting material to see if temp will drop.
I'll try this tomorrow when the new CPU arrives if the issue persists.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Just to be 100% sure -- do check that the fan is placed correctly onto the heatsink. the air should be blown into the heatsink, not be sucked through. (Hollow side of the fans down).
Fan is indeed situated to suck air through the cooler.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Check the heatsink is clean.
Yeah it was pristine, brand new.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
And then this: does the heatsink feel hot when the system overheats? Or warm to the touch?
Yes, it was very warm to the touch. Almost too hot to want to keep my finger there, actually did cause a layer of flesh to disappear from repeatedly testing it in this manner >.< (to see if the heatsink was warm each time, that is).

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum or MSI 6600GT PCI-E ?

Dear Sirs,
I've just bought a MSI NX6600 TD GT 128MB PCI-E and
Motherboard MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum.
I Think that one of these is defective bacause WinXP
can't work with MSI original drivers, MSI old
drivers or Nvidia drivers. The system reboots.
I think that i've tried almost everything and this
card only works badly with VesaSave driver (Generic
Windows driver).
Could a defective video card works ?
Is it possible that the problem is the Motherboard ?
Any idea ?
Help me please,
Thank you very much,

Hello!
Don't think you have to flash the BIOS. Nor do I think there is a problem with the mobo.
Two main reasons for boot problems are:
PSU with not enough grunt - please say something about it.
Memory timings are too tight - don't have any special or ultra settings.
The power cable has not been attached to the graphics card - don't know really if it is needed but I think so.
Please note that a weak PSU might not reveal itself til the power cable is connected.
About flashing BIOS, if you use the LiveUpdate program that came on the MSI install CD, it is no more trouble than upgrading any driver. But please make sure you get the right BIOS, and that it solves the issue you got.
