MSI 7030 with newest raid bios

Is there a custom bios build of release 1.7 with the newest nvraid bios built in. IE higher than version 4.81??

No , higher version doesn't work with NF3 .
We tried it a while back with Neo2 , no success .

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR - RAID BIOS Option ???

hi ho,
i have my 2 storage devices pluged into the promise 376 onboard controller. they are not connected as a real raid (not mirror nor real stripe). my OS is win2k on the first sata device and everything was fine for a long time.
but now when my system boots, it detects the ide drives and then i see the irq board.
right after that the system stops and tells me 'disk boot failure'. so i don`t get the chance to configure my raidcontroller or my sata devices.
it is as the controller is deactivated. i remember a bios version where you could activate and deactivate the sata controller. but in my bios (right now it is v7.8) there is no such option.
i have tested so far:
- reset cmos
- flash bios v7.5 to 7.8
- disconnected sata drives
anyone with similar problems or any suggestion?

watch the bottom of the screen after pressing Enter on the "Welcome to Setup" screen. There will be some moments of files being loaded, and then you should see a message appear which says "Press F6 if you need to install a 3rd party SCSI or RAID driver". This message will only stay on the screen for a couple of seconds, so press F6 as soon as you see it appear. After this is done, you will see other messages appear, and it will act as though nothing is happening, but eventually a screen will appear which will allow you to install the drivers for the sata controller.
specify a device press S, select "win 2000 promise fasttrak 376 controller" it will read floppy and load, dot not remove floppy yet, continue win2000 install it may nead to access floppy to finish installing raid driver, did you do it like this.
try making some floppy boot disks and boot to floppy instead of cd.
http://freepctech.com/pc/002/files010.shtml
when you say there not listed, where did you see this? they wont be listed, windows will search for fasttrak controller so it will see sata's conected to it with out you knowing, so long as you load the controller from floppy that came with mobo as above.

DL: MSi BIOS's with updated RAID ROM

I have updated some MSi boards with the latest RAID OROM

The Microcode updates come from MSi in there BIOS releases, And the ME firmware just use what MSi gives you in the BIOS no need to update it, It doesnt have any effect on performance
I wouldn't bet on this!!!
You, like most of the other users (hi imperl), have found the phoenix mmtool which allows you to change the available oroms. As long as the bios is ami/phoenix based and uses a new structure then the tools is fine.
However, the old school teaches something else: it's called modding and is down with a plain hex editor!!!
Did I mentioned that mmtool sometimes touches other modules and sometimes cannot calculate the right checksum of the modules.... This can lead to ... a dead bios!
I hope the users can decide for themselves...
@doubleohseven
I'll send you the bios... It was p67a-gd80, wasn't it?
PS: The microcode _is_ important and the MEI usually fixes bugs.... but those cannot be changed with mmtool!

MSI 7030 MOBO fried board?

I just built a msi 7030 with a brand new athlon 64 cpu, it was working great, I powered off the unit from the rocker switch on the psu, moved the case on top of my batt backup/ups (space issues), when I powered it back on via rocker switch I got a small zap, sys wont boot or post (no err beeps), I have chked the mem,vid, and installed a backup cpu still nothing, I was not in the case when I got shocked, but my first guess was fried cpu, but so far all chks out, I don’t have a backup board to cross chk the cpu, could I have fried the bios? Only time I have ever had a problem with bios (not this board) but was during flash, it has not shocked me since and sys pwrs on fine, just get a “no vid” on screen
thanks

Updating VIA RAID Bios on K8T Master-FAR 2

How do I update the VIA Raid bios that came with the v.220D SATA drivers?
I see the two rom files (6420R231.rom and 6420N231.rom) in the bios directory, but no directions on how to update the bios.
Tim

You don't. You have to wait for MSI to integrate any RAID BIOS improvements into a new BIOS release for the board.

D20 Marvell raid bios update.

Ok i have a pair of Lenovo D20's here one is a 4158-W5K & the other is a 4158-B6U I just noticed that one unit has a different Marvell bios than the other one. Is there any way to update them to the newest raid bios? Any help would be appriciated.
Mike

Can you confirm the FW level for each individual system?
I don't think we normally push FW updates for the Marvell controllers in 20 series out to the field as there is some risk in customers messing things up and rendering their systems unusable. It's a small risk, but it still exists.
Do you have a reason to have the systems on the same FW levels (i.e. are you encountering a problem on one that you're not seeing on the other)? Most of the FW updates for the Marvell controllers were pretty benign in nature as I recall. Small bug fixes here and there really.

I have two 128GB SSD in raid 0 (SuperRaid as MSI calls it) I would like to be able to overclock the CPU if possible? I'm getting some lag spikes in games and I was thinking it might have something to do with the CPU...
OC CPU maybe if you are familiar with the options, but let assume no or not recommended.
about the lag spikes, there is special EC ver for GT70 which improves GPU performance and reduces throttling.
available at: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162629.0
NOTE: This special EC firmware is not for barebones, but only for retails models!
other reason could be that dedicated GPU is not used, but integrated card while running this applications.
Or VGA driver issue.

MSI working on a fix for using SB chips on p67/z86 boards with new IB BIOS?

I've got an MSI Z68A-GD80 B3, I updated to the version 20.0 BIOS which supports IB chips, but I'm currently running an i7 2600K. My machine seems to be stable with the new BIOS (better than previous BIOS versions actually), but for whatever reason when I went to the v20.0 BIOS I lost all ability to overclock. The only option which shows up in any BIOS menus is AUTO. No multiplier adjustment for the CPU, no V adjustments for anything, no RAM adjustments, etc...in fact the closest I can come is by adjust whether the RAM is running XMP profile or not. Everything else appears normal, but for all intensive purposes I've given myself an H variant board with no OC options by updating the BIOS.
So, my question is, since every other MB manufacturer seems to have figured out how to support both IB and SB chips on z68 systems why hasn't MSI? Is this support forthcoming or do I need to invest in a new MB or a new CPU just to be able to OC again?

No bashing intended, just tellling it like it is. Almost everyday, if not everyday, there are threads of users bricking boards flashing Ivy UEFI/BIOS's when an Ivy is never to be installed. Most of these are user error not reading the SOP, or not having a bootable USB stick, or whatever. Most flashing isn't even necessary unless a specific function or feature requires it. Too many are 'flash' happy for no reason at all. MSI's goal 'may' be to develop and release a 'universal' UEFI/BIOS that works decent for Sandy or an Ivy. These 'compromises' often are not ideal. Try the last official revision xmad mentioned, or try the Beta for the (G3) I linked.

This 'question' itself is somewhat bordering on 'bashing', so I think it has been satisfactorily answered. Further comments about it are just going to head towards an argument. You have the link to MSI Technical and the (G3) Beta thread.

SATA RAID conflics with POMISE T3 RAID Bios

I've read quite a few of the RAID setup issues concerning the "Extra" RAID settings under "integrated peripherals" for the K9A2 Platinum. My problem seems to be a bit unique. I can't get both the SATA RAID and the Promise "Fast Track" to work together. If I enable the Extra RAID Controllers the Fastrack Bios does not recognize my SATA RAID.
This simply means that for some reason the motherboard SATA RAID conflicts or disables the PROMISE RAID Bios and vice versa. So I have not been able to activate my eSATA ports or use anything connected to the SATA5-6 ports without going into the CMOS and setting SATA DEVICES to IDE and then turning on the EXTRA Raid Controller under "Integrated Peripherals" in the CMOS. Unless I'm wrong. I am almost sure that this scenario is right.
The second issue is that I cannot get my ram to go in DUAL CHANNEL mode. But I will post that issue another time.
thx

With Vista Ultimate SP1 on my machine the USB Flasher Tool kept on crashing when the BIOS was at v 1.2 on the KA92 mainboard.
The DOS window came up fine but it appeared that every susequent module that was brought up for detecting the motherboard caught some kind of conlfict and terminated causing Vista to summon the program terminated message box. Eventually the dos prompt would state that it could not detect the motherboard and close. All in red text. This happened only when I flashed the BIOS with v1.2. I wanted to go back to 1.3 just to verify that the BIOS version was the cause and the only reason I got back to 1.3 or 1.4 easily was becaus it was backed up by the tool so all I had to do was rename the backup.bin file(s). Again everything went as expected with the USB Flasher Tool until I loaded the v1.2 BIOS. It could not even detect the mainboard.
The only reason I didn't need the tool anymore was that it backed up the versions of the bios for each time that I had flashed the bios previously.

MSI KT4V with usb+bios problem!

hi i have an msi kt4v motherboard: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/m...ODEL=MS-6712...
and it wont startup my keyboard until windows loads.
i even updated my bios to the vary latest one....in the bios list there is a bios with this details:
BIOS Type AMI® BIOS File Size 514KB
Version 1.7 Update date 2002-12-26
Update Description -Support AMD Barton XP2800+ (FSB333) CPU
-Fixed system sometimes will have IDE CRC error
-Fixed D-bracket2+USB keyboard, cannot use keyboard on DOS mode.
Special note ,
Download 6712v17.exe
that suppose to fix my prob. its not the latest though, the latest is 1.8. i updated to 1.8 directly, i didnt upgrade from 1.7 though, but from an earlier version. is anyone else experiencing this problem? whats strange is that it will work if i clear the cmos and reboot. but then if i restart it wont work. do i have to upgrade to 1.7 then to 1.8?

I have the same problem too. My keyboard\'s cable failed and I replaced it but made it USB only, after the later bios releases it stopped working until windows loaded.
Legacy support is turned on to no avail. I've been keeping a ps/2 keyboard handy for when I have to get into bios or some other command level operation.

Problems with IDE2 & 3 not detecting IDE device - going to RAID bios

hi
Ok well after many painstaking hours I finally managed to get the mobo(915G combo) up and running but encounter this problem.
IDE1 (third master) has hard drive on, this loads up ok
But if I connect my dvd rom and dvd writer as master & slave into either ide 2 or 3, I get the RAID bios utility load up and then only sometimes it lets me press the tab key, and all i can do is go in this circle.
If I unplug the cable and then attach a drive to my HDD as a slave this works fine. The mobo bios is currently set for optimized defaults. I know I could keep the drive as a slave on IDE 1 with the HDD but im going to be installing another HDD so will be using this as a slave, so that both HDD's are on one IDE and both drives are on a different IDE.
Can anyone help to try and resolve this?
Thanks

first off i would just like to say thanks for you help, everything is JUST ABOUT working!!
It does seem strange the instruction booklet informs you to put the primary boot device into IDE1 (blue socket) yet this doesnt qwork and you have to put the optical devices into this socket. Everything is now being recognised(within the bios) but I have now updated to XP with SP1 and the only problem i now face is that when the pc loads up it detects both ide HDD within the raid controllers BUT once into windows I can only see the c:/ not the secondary HDD. I dfid try to add this as a slave to the primary master HDD but got error on startup. I have since installed onto the 3rd IDE/RAID as a master and it is detected fine.
Within device manager in XP it shows as a device but i am unable to format the drive or save/map anything to it
Any further ideas?
Cheers
Paul

Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 with MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40)

I am interested in Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM. Currently, I’m using MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40) with AMD 64bit 2800+ & MSI MS 8907 FX5200-TD128 AGP Card.
Please advice whether the Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM compatible with my systems.

The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode. The BIOS safe mode lets you un-do any overclocking or memory settings that might make your computer so unstable that you can't even get into the BIOS settings to change them. In that case, you hold insert while powering on to reset the BIOS to default safe values.
As for your problem getting into Windows' Safe Mode. If you upgraded from another motherboard that uses a different chipset, or if you somehow got the wrong chipset drivers installed, then the old AGP GART or chipset drivers will cause the system to halt/reboot very early in the Windows boot process even in safe mode. I've run into this problem before and its tricky. Best thing to do is switch back to the old motherboard, then go into safe mode and remove all chipset-related drivers, and then switch back to the new motherboard. If you can't do that, try running system repair from the windows setup CD. And failing that, you'd probably have to fully re-install the OS.

Is Intel i5 4460 compatible with default factory bios of MSI B85M-Gaming?

I would like to know if it is compatible, BIOS wise. I use http://pcpartpicker.com/ to check for compatibility and says that some Intel B85 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs.
However it seems to be so since http://www.msi.com/support/mb/B85M-GAMING.html#support-cpu: Says 7823vA0, which seems to be the factory default bios version.
Would be nice for MSI to specify the default bios version as part of the specs or outside of packaging without having to power up the computer just to confirm what bios does the motherboard currently have.

ok thanks. Not all the time though a customer gets to look at the serial number of a motherboard box just to get that information, which still is a risk. (i.e. planning which parts to buy online/buying online) Since my B85M Gaming isn't available, i got a B85-G43 instead and an i5 4460 with it. I was worried that i was buying a non-compatible CPU and it wouldn't work as i was strictly following the CPU-bios support list (later found out that i was wrong doing this, due to the serial number dating on the board. I wouldn't know what the time stamp on it would be either until I inspected it or bought it, which is still a risk): http://www.msi.com/support/mb/B85G43.html#support-cpu
The sales techie then said that it would work because "nobody came back to them with a cpu-bios complaint" and they generalized that the LGA XXXX just need to correspond/match between CPU and motherboard. He says they stay away from BIOS upgrade since it might brick the board (which I also agree there's risk) and that its not going to be covered by their warranty policy.
So if i stayed away from the BIOS update, but the cpu would run as they claim - then will my system be unstable? (i.e. random Bsods, etc.) I guess it depends on the update itself too if it contains needed support for cpu X.
Also what else matters (general guidelines) for processor compatibility (apart from LGA XXXX, socket-wise)?
Processor stepping? (C0 ~ i guess this stepping is most safely assumed to be compatible? Seems common/base-level).
Serial Number manufacture date. But that only tells me when the board was made, i haven't found a site that lists the release date of the bios file version of the motherboard and then just assume that the board has that bios version with respect to its date.
Wattage - related with TDP, as long as the CPU doesn't exceed the mobo's limit for cpu wattage.

MSI GTX 750 Ti with Motherboard Legacy BIOS

I was wondering if I could run the MSI GTX 750 Ti with a Legacy BIOS. I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 750 and it is not compatible with my motherboards Legacy BIOS (had no idea before purchasing it). I know MSI's has a Dual BIOS switch on the card, so I was wondering if it would work?
I have a pre-built HP system, the HP P7-1233w. I know the GTX 750 Ti has a TDP of 60w, my power supply is a 300w HP with two +12v rails. The +12va has 12a and the +12vb has 16a.
So if anyone can tell me if the MSI GTX 750 Ti (specifically this card: MSI N750TI-2GD5/OC) will work with my Legacy BIOS Motherboard that would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Quote
What does the Dual BIOS switch do on the card? Does it relate to the motherboard BIOS, or no?
No, it offers a legacy and UEFI/GOP vbios for Win8 feature support (fastboot/secureboot). If using a board with a legacy bios it is irrelevant what vbios is selected as both are supporting legacy mode (UEFI/GOP vbios is hybrid). Only for boards with a UEFI bios which is not GOP compliant using the legacy vbios is required.
