Msi 790GX-G65 and "EB" Ram question....

Hiya All,
Q: could it be that "OCZ DDR3 ram p3 1600 EB 2GK" won't work with a MSI 790GX-G65 mobo because of the "EB" (enhancend Bandwidth) ? ? ?
can't find anything on EB in the manual or on the net concerning the MSI 790GX-G65 mobo
System freezes randomly, sometimes during start up sometimes after an hour.
all temps are okay and nothing is OC-ed.
got ati 4870 gfx card.
550 W power suply.
cpu: AMD phenom2 x3 720 black edition
thanks to any one willing to look into this matter
Bassman404
p.s. asking this for a friend so hard to give more info than this atm

thanks for your quick reply
The PSU is a HKC USP5550
and forgot to mention that the ram is running on 1333 MHz not 1600MHz.(not trying to run it higher than 1333 MHz atm)
i'm wondering if the "enhancend bandwidth" could be the cause of the system freezing?
or in other words do i have the wrong RAM?
and thanks allready

Re: MSI 790gx-g65 no post, no beep (split)

I am in an almost identical situation and it is ruining my christmas. My 790GX-G65 had been running with no problems for several months.
I was running a routine backup and the PC powered itself off - no it was not set to self power off, it had at least 10 minutes left to run.
I have gone through all the usual stuff and now the mainboard is on my test bench with just the cpu/hsf and a stick of RAM.
When I press the power button the fans spin up and leds come on - Does anybody know what the LED indicators indicate? I can find no reference in my manual or searching google. NB1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 light up, LED1 doesn't.
It doesn't post or even send a signal to the monitor - i.e. the monitor detects a cable is connected but is receiving no signal. I have tried using 2 separate pci-e cards as well as the integrated. It does appear to be on though. And it doesn't turn itself off. I left it running for just over 20 minutes and it was in the same state - fans running.
Also now holding the power button won't turn the mainboard off - plugging in an external power button doesn't work either. I have to turn off the PSU to power down the board.
Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
MSI 790GX-G65
OCZ 2x2GB DDR3
Corsair HX520 Modular
Xigmatek HSF
MSI/ATI HD4870 1GB
none of it is overclocked and has never been.
I updated the mainboard bios several weeks ago via liveupdate in windows to iirc v1.5.
The only parts I don't have to test are a replacement CPU or PSU. I should be able to get my hands on another PSU tomorrow but anybody who can tell me what the LED indicators stand for would be a real help.
Thanks

Hey Andy2009,
I seem to be having the same issue with my son's system. We put it together just over a year ago then all of sudden, BAM!!! Just wouldn't boot.
Symptom:
Press the power button, the fans spin up, with the exception of LED1, the remaining LED's light. No video signal is detected by the monitor. Although it appears to be powered up, the system doesn't POST, not a single beep. It just remains on.
Also now holding the power button down for any lenght of time, does not shutoff the power supply. To turn it off you must disconnect the AC power line to the supply.
System Specs:
MSI 785G-E53
AMD Phenom II X4 965BE
ADATA 2x2GB DDR3L-1333G
Has never been overclocked.
According to the user manual, the LED's are indicators for the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" mode for the CPU. I'm not sure what that means but the chart showing the LED status, shows that LED1, regardless of what power mode the CPU is in, should be lit. As the modes change the next LED# lights. My guess is that something happened to the phase 1 power mode circuitry on the mainboard.
I began troubleshooting by replacing the PC power supply. Disconnected all the peripherals, removed the mainboard from the case, reseated the processor and memory, tried to reset CMOS, etc... By the end of the week, I purchased another mainboard/processor bundle and quickly determined that the mainboard was root cause . The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU seems to be fine. I'll be sending this board back as an RMA.
I tried searching the internet for POST type issues for MSI 785G-E53 with very little results . After replacing the mainboard, I noticed the 785G-E53 lettering on the mainboard was actually a label, covering the silkscreen lettering 790GX-G65. Did another quick search on-line and found this forum posting.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully it will help others.
So what does all this mean, that is the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" LED's?
Thanks in advance,
Normand

Diagnosing No POST, No Beep MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom X4 955 BE

Last night I came home to a ceased PC with a frozen screen. PC has been working fine for over 2 years, but CPU has been running a bit hot of late (60C) with occasional BSODs with some ATI driver reference. Updated video drivers a few times. Suspected overheating CPU or ATI. Never overclocked it.
Specifications:
CPU: 3.2Ghz Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
M/B: MSI 790GX-G65
BIOS: Don't know. I upgraded it at one point.
Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3 Apacer (2GB UNB PC3-10600 CL9). Don't have more info right now.
Video: On-board.
Hard-drives: 1x 500GB Western Digital (Removed)
Peripheral Devices: PCI Wi-Fi card (Removed)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PSU: ISO-500PP Switching PSU, Max Output 420W rated 23.0A @ 12V
Symptoms:
Black screen with blinking monitor LED (connected via DVI).
All 5 blue M/B LEDs light up.
No POST.
No Beeps (connected PC speaker to JFP2 according to maunal)
No peripheral activation, e.g. no keyboard lights / mouse.
All funs run (incl. PSU fan).
If USB keyboard is plugged in when powered, keyboard function LED lights up for a second, then dies.
Suspected Causes:
Broken CPU
Broken PSU. It is the only component I skimped on with this system (420W), but I was saving money and didn't have a video card DVD drive or anything fancy connected. Worked great until now.
Things I have tried:
Left it overnight.
Reseated CPU and heatsink (did not reapply thermal paste).
Cleaned heatsink under CPU Fan.
Removed PSU and M/B from case.
Disconnected everything.
Laid M/B on anti-static bag with only power supply and monitor via DVI cable.
Removed all RAM. Starting produces no beeps from PC speaker (via JFP2). Suspect broken CPU.
Some things I have not tried:
A different PSU
VGA output
Different AM2 CPU (don't have one)
New thermal paste
Clearing CMOS and removing battery. Not sure how to do this (do I need to remove CMOS battery and hold clr CMOS button for 60s?)
Since everything on the M/B lights up (incl. blinking Wi-Fi LED when it was connected), I suspect a bricked CPU.
Where do I go from here?
(edit: added keyboard LED symptom)

@Fredrik:
Yes, I tried with 1 RAM DIMM in different positions. I connected a PC speaker and my standard speakers via the audio jack (some new M/Bs apparently output to it). I don't have access to another compatible system to try my CPU on. Very infrequent thunderstorms.
@cronnin:
1. Placed M/B on unpainted wooden table. Good point about the anti-static bag - I forgot that it conducts. No change in symptoms.
2. Everything is disconnected. I've tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots and connected a CRT monitor via VGA. No video out.
3. I connected an old PC speaker to pins 2 and 8 of JFP2 and plugged in normal speakers via green audio jack on M/B. I can't get it to produce any sound whatsoever.
4. FSB overclock switches are both ON.
5. I pressed and held CLR_CMOS for 10 seconds while ATX power was connected and system unpowered. Didn't touch the battery.
More Things I Tried:
Used a multimeter to test my PSU ATX outputs on the board when powered on. I get a steady 12.35V, 5.2V and 3V at the M/B power connector. Starting to think the PSU is OK, but still can't be sure. If there was a lack of current, wouldn't the voltages start to break-down?

MSI 790GX-G65 Colors?

Well, when I was looking around and reading the reviews for this motherboard (MSI 790GX-G65) I noticed that all the pictures and descriptions for it are a brown board with Pink and baby blue DIMM slots - as seen here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130224
When I opened the box for my new 790GX-G65 I was surprised to see this:
vs
Deep Brown - almost black board with Black and Navy blue DIMM slots. Not baby blue and Pink like the common board.
The SATA sockets are black too. Not Purple as shown in the Common picture.
My second PCI-E x16/x8 slot is the same royal blue as PCI-E x16 slot 1 vs baby blue on the commonly seen board. Also different are the PCI slots; the commonly seen board has white PCI slots whereas mine are black.
Even the 24pin Power and IDE plugings are different: black and blue vs white and yellow. The JFP1 and JFP2 (front panel and speaker connections) are not color coded on mine as in the common one.
A few more pics:
Don't get me wrong, I actually really like this black and blue color combination. It looks more like the 790FX-GD70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223. I'm just curious why it's different than the brown/pink/baby blue boards. The MSI website states " The product picture may differ from the actual product. Only for your reference", but I haven't seen any reviews or pics with the black and blue combo. Also, on the lower cover of my Manual it says USER GUIDE - EUROPE VERSION. Funny because I bought it and live in California lol. So I would guess that somehow the Frys (see Frys.com) near my house got a European Region shipment. Is that right?
Anyone have this combo too?
Anyhow, I'm happy it's up and running. Just need a good guide on overclocking the board settings for an Athlon II X4 620 CPU. Any tips or links?

Quote from: Fredrik on 28-January-10, 20:42:38
How about this: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&prod_no=1813#
It is the Winki edition you see on that link, very very similar PCB/basic board. So they used one PCB for the picture and one for you.
Yea, it looks just like that Winki version. After scanning through the forums I see others have the same color combo as mine too. So I'm not an exception. Flasing the board to the latest Bios was pleasant and simple.
2 questions:
1) Any way to order the Winki module to plug into my board? Will that work?
2) Any good guides to overclock this board with an Athlon II X4 620?
Thanks for the info.

MSI 790GX-G65 - No display

The problem started a couple days ago. My machine started displaying corrupt graphics, something like pink artifacts on the screen and it would freeze. My Windows 8 x64 showed the new death screen and rebooted it. This happened couple times today and the machine wouldn't display at all.
When I turn on, Processor fan spins, NB1, LED1 & LED2 were ON. LED3 and LED4 were completely OFF. My USB Keyboard and Mouse didn't get any power after I switched ON.
I tried the following.
1. Tried a different PSU
2. Tried installing a GFX card (Power Color ATI Radeon 4870)
3. Tried removing / swapping memory modules. (When no memory was installed I get the typical memory error beep, 3 long beeps.)
System Config
CPU : AMD Phenom II 1055T x6 - 2.8Ghz
Board : MSI 790GX G65 (BIOS updated to Latest one, when I last checked for update it notified that my system's BIOS is latest)
Memory : Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 + Transcend 2 GB DDR3
KB : Logitech G510 USB Gaming Keyboard
Mouse : Logitech G400 USB Gaming Mouse
HDD : Seagate 1 TB
OS : Windows 8 Pro x64
Onboard OC set to Default (both switches in ON position)
Can any one let me know what could be the problem?

I was using Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W (http://www.coolermaster.in/product.php?product_id=3738) when the problem occurred. I was using it without any problem for more than 3 years with the same board. I then tested with Cooler Master 650W SMPS (Not sure about the model).
I still didn't tryout what Flobelix suggested since am at my office right now, will give that a try when I reach home.

MSI 790GX-G65 DIMMM / Board issues?

I have 2x4GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) UDIMM kit of 2 CT51264BA1339.16FD based on the recommendations of the configurator on the Crucial site,,,
Installed it into MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom II X6 chip running Win7/64
Nothing else is installed on my MB except the graphics card, a Galaxy-210 Series NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB DDR2
I have battled the BSOD for 3 long days with the system shutting down in 2-3 minutes and sometimes it would run up to 30 minutes,,,, I have updated all of the drivers and bios (version 4.2),,,,
This is the last Minidump before I pulled the single from the 2nd slot in the MB.
BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff8000309dfd7, fffff88008ce12d0, 0}
Then I put one stick in and ran it for 2 hours, then put the other stick into DIMM 1 with 10% overclock and it is still running. If i put a stick in DIMM 2, i get teh BSOD
Can it be the DIMM or somethign lese?

Quote from: LLDJR on 14-October-10, 22:31:57
DUDE, I took the overclock on when you said tooo..
I put it back to Fail Safe mode in the BIOS and it still dumps.
So what is your suggestion,,,, no overclock? I am fine with that,, but can you clue me in on what the problem "might be" ?

MSI 790GX-G65 Hangs when loading windows

Specs:
Corsair 650W PSU (New)
MSI 790GX-G65
AMD Phenom II - Deneb 810 2.6 GHZ with XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 Heatsink(New)
GeForce 260gx(Not in board at the moment)
4x1gb SuperTalent 1333ghz DDR3
500GB Seagate (used to be an external)
64GB Crucial SSD (New, no OS)
I bought my computer in July 2009 and have had a reoccurring problem where, at any random point, my computer would completely lock up causing me to force shut down.
At first I thought it was a power supply so I replaced that and the problem persisted. Usually I would be on my computer, it would hang and I would restart it and everything would be fine for the rest of the day. Some days it wouldn't hang at all and run perfectly fine. I thought that maybe it was a heat issue so I've had my case open with a box fan sucking air out it. I just recently bought a new heat sink for my CPU to sure up any doubt.
Last weekend, I attempted to do some more troubleshooting and updated my BIOS, but my computer really didn't like it. Now it will not boot Windows after POST. I cleared CMOS and tried again but the same issue would occur. I would get into the Windows loading screen and the computer would lock up or it would make it to the login screen but would restart.
I considered the possibility that my HDD, being an old external, might have been the problem so I just recently purchased a new SSD. Last night I plugged in the SSD and in my attempt to load Windows on it, it would completely lock up the same exact way. I've narrowed it down to either being the SATA cables or the SATA connectors to the motherboard.
The two SATA cables that I am using are a bit old. One of them I found in my cable drawer and don't know how old it is or what the gb/s rating on it is. The other cable came stock with the MoBo and I've been using that one since the rig was built. I am going to buy some new SATA cables tonight and try again, but would it be that the motherboard SATA connectors are faulty or something? I was about to buy a new Motherboard but this one is POSTing fine and reading all of my hardware. What other issues could there be? Any help would be very much appreciated.

I was reading about how to install the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.
It's saying in step 3:
Quote
If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.
I came across this FAQ:
Quote
->Q: Can I prepare USB stick in another mainboard?
A: * If you want to use method 3 it will not be possible, since Tool will detect different MSI board which uses a corresponding different BIOS.
* If your other mainboard is retail MSI, yes you can.
My current system is unusable which will mean that I'll have to install and create the USB flasher on a laptop that doesn't have a MSI MoBo. Will it still work?

MSI 790GX-G65 delay before post

Sorry for hijacking that other thread
So I press the power button on my computer, then the case/mobo lights and fans (inc. cpu fan) turn on, but I have to wait about 20-30 seconds and then it posts.
I built this system in June '09 but this problem didn't start til maybe October. This problem started happening BEFORE I updated/flashed, however I tried updating to solve the problem to no avail.
I don't remember doing anything different when that problem started.
My system:
MSI 790GX-G65 motherboard
AMD Phenom II x3 720 BE 2.8 ghz (not OC)
G Skill 2x2GB ddr3 1600 ram (@ 1333 because of no OC)
WD Caviar blue 320 GB 7200rpm hard drive
HP 22x DVD burner 1170i w/ light scribe
case: ABS Aplus el diablo
monitor: HP 2009m 20" (DVI)
Power Supply: Raidmax Hybrid 2 530 watt Modular (although I doubt that's the problem because power seems to be working - cpu fans turn on and mobo lights come on long before post)
the power for the HD uses a 4-pin to SATA converter (for easier wiring) but I've tried it with regular SATA power cables
I've tried running one ram stick
swapped CD/dvd and Hard drive places on mobo (swapped HD from sata_0 to sata_1 etc)
my case has a lot of wires for fans and lights, so just to make sure i disconnected those and left whatever was necessary connected
I've tried changing the boot order HDD first, and also tried CD first just in case, didn't help
none of these things helped :(
if I left anything out that may help please say so
EDIT: using onboard VGA (set as default display device in BIOS), OS is Windows 7 64bit RC in case those might help
I currently have my case fans connected directly to molex power connectors from PSU, and hard drive and optical are both connected to regular SATA power connectors, regular SATA cables

Quote from: Svet on 11-February-10, 15:38:52
disconnect all storages and see how its goes,
also do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed.
if problem persist, write down and paste here what's written on the screen when the delay is happening.
Quote from: CSN9 on 24-February-10, 05:24:10
Yes! Disconnecting the hard drive stops the delay from happening. I had already cleared the CMOS the way the guide says, but I just did it again while the hard drive was disconnected. However, with the hard drive connected there is still the delay.
Now that we know it has to do with the hard drive, does this mean I need a new one? I mean, I've always had the same hard drive and this problem didn't happen from the beginning. So does it mean I should reformat it or something?
What hard drive is that? and where is connected?

MSI 790GX-G65 Blank Screen on boot.

I finally decided to upgrade my computer and I am having an issue unfortunately. Please take a look and see if you can give me any advice.
Mobo: MSI 790GX-G65
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333

Output +3.3V@22A,+5V@15A,+12V1@14A,+12V2@16A,
[email protected], [email protected]
I have isolated the problem to these components, attempting to turn it on the CPU fan turns on and LEDs on the motherboard all turn on but my monitor receives no input at all, boot screen, no blinking cursor, no nothing. the computer doesn't beep, if it wasn't for the blank screen I wouldn't have a problem. I don't know how to determine which part is the problem as I don't have parts to switch out but I need to figure out something soon If I am going to have to be returning stuff.
I have read other posts on the forums and one of the first things you guys mention as being the problem is the PSU and I have considered upgrading it to AZZA Dynamo 850
Output +3.3V@24A, +5V@32A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@20A, +12V4@22A,[email protected], [email protected]
I realize it doesn't have the +12v amps that everyone is recommending on a single rail but would this be workable with my set up for a casual gamer on a budget(the PSU is on a special right now with a case for cheap)
Thanks for helping.

Hello!
All LEDs are Go? It doesn't sound like a BIOS problem, more of a power/processor thing, but update 1.2 is required.
All LEDs light up.
Quote from: Henry on 29-October-09, 11:17:07
Check that all plugs of the wires from the PSU are fully seated in their sockets and that the 4/8 pin power for the CPU is plugged in. Usually labeled JPW1, JPWR1 or something similar.
All wires are plugged in solidly and the PSU is fully seated

Try with less memory; a single stick nearest to the processor.
I tried with both sticks individually, same result. Blank Screen
Quote from: Henry on 29-October-09, 11:17:07
Corsair VX550W +12V~41A single rail would be a very good one for you especially if you might want to get a halfway decent VGA card later on down the road. I'm assuming you are using onboard graphics since you didn't list a separate card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
Right, I ordered a HD 4770 seperately and it came a day later, the screen receives no input whether I plug in from the onboard video or the video card.
Quote from: Fredrik on 29-October-09, 10:18:35
Get a quality PSU, please. An 850W PSU doesn't cost 60$, have a half hidden amps list, and come with blue LEDs. Better a quality 500W than a lousy 850W. How would you fancy this one?

Quote from: Henry on 29-October-09, 11:17:07
Like Fredrik said, a cheap junk PSU is still a cheap junk PSU no matter how many watts it claims to have. That's the mistake far too many people make is getting cheap with a PSU which is the heart of a system and when they take a dump it more than likely will take other components with it. I'm sure you've read plenty of that if did much reading of things regarding PSU's on this forum.
Thanks for the PSU suggestions and advice, I'll be a better shopper when it comes to PSUs.
Thanks for the suggestions but nothing worked, I guess I will be contacting newegg and telling them something doesn't work and let them sort it out.

MOVED: [Athlon64] MSI Diamond-D and OCZ memory compatibility

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
[Athlon64] MSI Diamond-D and OCZ memory compatibility

More imortant than the brand are the types of chips used.
Winbond Bh6 and -Ch5 overclock poor on a AMD64 system, or u need to set the vMem redicoulisly high.
With Samnsung and Micron chips u can get the same timings @normal voltages (2,7v).
Here is a list of chips, icw brands:
http://www.techpowerup.com/memdb/
Make sure u get Micron 5B G or Samsung TCCD chips !
Agree with Stick about the amount of memory. First of all: Windows XP (32bit) cannot adress more then 3 GB, furthermore, no way in the world u are gonna use that memory. Stick to 2GB which is more then enough, heck, 1GB is allready more then enough 99,9999% of the time.

Will be building with an MSI z87-g65 and 4770K cpu and Windows 7 Pro

I will be building a system with an MSI z87-g65 and 4770K cpu and using either an MSI 460GTX or an MSI N6970 HD (both never used VGAs).
I read this topic and how it was solved:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169759.msg1241119#msg1241119
I wonder if using the "onboard" GPU in the 4770K would be simpler to load Windows 7? I did a search and didn't find posts relating to this.

The listed cards will work fine. The integrated gpu won't work better or make it easier for Win7. Just don't enable Win8 features in UEFI.

720 X3 -790GX-G65 and DDR 1600 ?

Hi all , New MSI customer here .
Ok ,So I got me a 790GX-G65 motherboard for cheap from Newegg on a "open box" deal $89.99 . Also got a 4870 1gb "open box" tooo for $129.99 and 4gb OCZ DDR1600 "new retail" for $65.99 (see signiture for model #'s) for a sweet upgrade from my BIOSTAR A770 A2+ motherboard with a 5000+ Black Edition along with 2x1gb Super Talent DDR800 and 3870 512mb .
The 790GX-G65 was still in anti-static bag un-opened and all accessories were there ,only the sticker seal on the box was opened (lucky me) . I used My Power suppy and other goodies like , case , DVD and CD drives from my previous build and could'nt be happier about the performance boost I got for the $$$ spend !
Ok, now that I've tried to give you a little background on the build here's is my issue or question (whichever you prefer) :
I cannot get my memory to run at 1600 regardless of what I do , I could'nt even run 1333mhz stable until I flashed to latest BIOS 1.3 ( board came with 1.1 ) @1333 RiG would run just fine booting up and up to desktop any type of stress at all like multi tasking it would get "flakey" and start pausing and jumping and gaming was out of the question, as the Video driver ( 9.4 BTW )would crash as soon as 3D started . After flashing to 1.3 bios all is well at 1333 and stable in Prime for hours on end with no errors. Games run well tooo ( Crysis all "very high" settings with 8xAA and 16xAF via CCC , smooth as silk @ 1280X1024 in Windows 7 RC ) .
This is what I've tried so far to get RAM up to 1600mhz with no avail . BTW running in Dimms 3+4 (the two furthest from CPU socket)at the moment !
1) changed fsb/dram ratio to 1.4 ............no luck !
2) raised dram voltage all the way up to 1.92 ! ........no luck !
3) set timings to OCZ's specs of 8-8-8-24 (and even set all timings to slowest BIOS would allow)..... no luck !
4) tried lowering HT and NB ratios along with CPU multiplier and raising FSB using 1.2 and 1.3.3 memory dividers to get ram up to 1600 without overclocking the CPU ......... no luck !
5) about every combination of 1-4
and a few other things tooooo , can't remember every tweak I've tried !
I get a post loop that will go on forever and never show anything on the screen when RAM is in dimms 3-4 , and using Dimms 1-2 I make it up to the initializing USB devices ,then get Cmos checksum error, which upon enter BIOS menu it has changed everything to "optimized defaults" without any input from me !
I'm alittle lost as to what to try next ,but I'd sure like to try to get the RAM up to 1600mhz instead of 1333mhz ,regardless of , the performance difference ( I read the post about AMD 1333 vs 1600 performance BTW )
Since the memory is rated to run at that speed ,I'd atleast like to see it run that speed if nothing else .
I don't think Power is a problem as I can overclock the 720 x3 up to 3.8 with just changing the multi to 19x and stable at stock voltage ( ******** ) ,even though 3.9 seems to be the wall with this ( 906 ) CPU ,that I have as no amount of volts will get me over that
Like I said earlier NEW MSI Customer ,,have played with a few older MSI boards ,but they were much older and other folks . This is the first MSI purchase made by myself , so far I 'm liking what I see
Any suggestions ????? Or am I overlooking the Obvious ??
Thanks in advance ,for any replys!

Do not have this board myself, but it may have to do with the memory used. OCZ memory's name says it all:
" Special Ops Urban Elite "
Much prefer Corsair, and have ever since dear Richard helped me out a thousand years ago.
I've owned just about every brand of memory ( or installed on clients machines ) available to the mainsteam public from retail sellers , I like Corsair toooo ,but was budget building on this build for myself and have used OCZ memory on a few builds for customers and never had any problems whatsoever with their memory .
The main reason I went with this choice on the memory was #1 price verses timings and speed compared to Corsair or Kingston Hyper X ,, Corsair was high dollar and timings were alittle slow in the price range I was looking for ,,,Kingstons timings were slowwwwww and voltage requirements were toooo high for my taste .
From what I've seen , the only difference in these modules compared to OCZ's Gold edition is the heat spreader ,,timings seem to be the same . So I don't believe "Special Ops Urban Elite " means anything other than other than the color of the heat spreader used on it,,which I really could'nt care less about !
Thanks for the input ,,, any and all comments or suggestions are appreciated !

790GX-G65 and Phenom II X6 1100t

Hey!
I wanted to know if my 790GX-G65 supports Phenom II X6 1100t?
I tried the CPU support tool, but it didn't find any mobos that support it. So I don't think that tool is very up to date... According to the tool my mobo does support 1090t version thou, so if you jump to conclusions it might support 1100t too! :D
Thanks for help!

Interesting! I've been wondering this myself. The CPU Test Report is outdated. It only shows CPUs that test okay with the 790GX-G65 up to the v4.2 update. Version 4.4 is out, and still no update to the CPU Test Report for BIOS versions 4.3 and 4.4. I just contacted MSI about this, but I'm wondering since the "outdated" CPU Test Report doesn't show support, whether I'll get another "No"?

Msi 890fxa-g65 and two radeon 6950 video cards

Hi,
So far I have the one radeon 6950 with the MSI msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard. I was thinking of getting another 6950 down the road and was wondering if anyone was able to fit two 6950 video cards on a msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard.
It seems a bit tight. Also I currently have an Ultra brand 750W PSU. Is that enough?
Thanks.
Mike

Thank for the response. The main impedance is on the motherboard connections for the front panel of the computer case. These pins are located at the bottom of the motherboard where the 6950 video card goes. The pin connections and the wire stick out quite a bit and the video card might crush them a little.
Is there some sort of adapter for those pin connections to make them go on a 90 degree instead of straight out. This is the only impedance to get that video card in really. The case is big enough even though its only a mid -tower.
Thanks for any help.
Yes, those are you HDD, power and stand-by switch connectors I believe. Yes, I have seen 90* adapters but I don't remember where. It might come with the case attachments or a Mobo I put together about a year ago. In any case, take your existing card and "gentaly" place it into that bottom slot without the pins inserted (mark or draw a little graph as to where those pins go). See if you still have a little bit of room for your connectors. Also, what kind of connectors are we talking here? USB external pins are here to. If you can live with just the MoBo USB ports, then forget the external USB connection then. That way, simply put that card in and GO! Try it out.
