MSI 845E MAX Processor Question

Greetings All,
This may be a silly question, but what is the fastest processor I can plug into the 845E Mainboard?  I currently have a P4 2.0 but want to know how much higher I can go.
Thanks for any help :D

    Hi!
    So I already have 845E Max (MSI-6566E), so I have this prob. In idle 46~48C,  and on high use 55~57C.
    I think it is bad, because in this temperature can't overclock the system, or not stable :(
    And the Intel Cooler, (in the BOX version of CPU) so weak.
    So 2 solution we have:
    1.) Big copper cooler, with least 6 or 8cm fan.
      - can be noisy :-(
    2.) Watercooling system
     - the best choice (I'm already on making )
     - quit
     - safe
    Just Do It!
    Nice Day 2 U Meeen!

  • Msi 845e max

    I cant seem to overclock my p4 1.8a over 125FSB.  At this setting i can overclock my memory to 333mhz or 250mhz, no problem there.  If i try to overclock any further i get 8 beeps which, when i check out the beep codes, indicates a memory error on the video card which is a Creative G4 Ti4400, not overclocked.  All i can presume is there is no way of adjusting the AGP bus which is overclocking the G4 too much!!!  Anyone know how to overcome this problem???? ?(

    I don't have an answer for you just letting you know that  I got my P4 2.0a to 145FSB (2.9GHz) can't go higher.  Therefore it's not the mobo it's one of your components.

  • MSI 648 Max - Memory question

    Hello everyone,
    I have an old MSI 648 MAX MB for which I would like to do a RAM upgrade.
    I can get DDR400 RAM quite easily, but they are Apacer 512MB DDR400 modules, which do not appear under the list of supported RAM modules.
    Does anyone know if this RAM is supported, and if not at DDR400, can the BIOS settings be changed to allow it to run at DDR333?

  • MSI 648 MAx Motherboard question regarding AGP Speed

    I have recently bought a Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb and installed latest radeon drivers and msi drivers etc.
    I have one question. How do I change it from AGP 4X to 8X. When I click on properties and setting, advance, it only shows 4X as max setting. But my motherboard supports 8 Speed and the card is 8 speed so what do I do?
    Tried searching forums already but to no avail. Tried looking in BIOS for options but no luck. Any ideas?
    Cheers guys  

    Yup.
    I fixed my problem. But now that has brought on a new one.
    When I installed the latest driver, it would only let me use AGP 4 speed at most. To proove the newest driver was installed, I did a dxdiag and looked for the agp version and found it. When it is the latest driver installed, it only allows 4 speed. So I had to revert back to a middle driver(ie not the very first one and not the most recent). This then brought up the option of 8speed AGP in my ATI SmartGart panel. I was happy with this. But it is not the latest driver and this is now causing Battlefield Vietnam to crash. Continuously. And experience slowdown etc. Which, lets face it, should not be happening.
    SO to sum it up, with the latest driver installed, AGP 4 speed is as high as it can go.
    But with a middle driver, i can achieve agp 8 speed but my game crashes with this driver.
    And to show just how bad SIS are for updating driver, I have to go into device manager, manually find the .inf file for the latest driver and use this to install the latest driver for it to show up as the latest driver in dxdiag.
    So who is at fault here? SIS or MSI? What a piece of crap.  
    EDIT: Would there be any point in flashing the cmos?

  • MSI 845E Max 2 RAID Help

    I have a Seagate baraccuda 40GB HDD. When i connect it to RAID, it dectect Functional but it give a warning like

    in this situation, I don't know how to go ?(  Please help me.

    Ok,

  • Help! Problems with 845E MAX HSF seating

     have a MSI 845E MAX and a P4 2.8 GHz cpu. I bought a coolmaster L71 for 478 socket type but when I put it on the cpu, the four little plastic white pins that hold the HSF mounting tray in place prevents the HSF from actually connecting with the CPU unless I use a load on paste (which is wrong)
    If I take out the pins the HSF sits on the CPU fine but surley this cannot be correct? Has anyone else had this problem or have any ideas why?
    I have also tried a mates P4 S478 HSF and it does the same, the four pins seem to stop it touching the cpu correctly.
    Party

    What's up? I got your Email - I don't know about cutting those pins off. Man, that really sucks those heatsinks aren't fitting correctly. What would be wrong with getting a stock Intel fan/heatsink? They are really cheap. I saw one for $7 shipped. Or get the f/h I have. It's a Coolermaster D14-7H53D. However, if you want to try and cut those pins go ahead because you can always buy a new bracket if it doesn't work. Let me know what happens. Good luck.
    Man, you can't say (s)ucks in this forum.  

  • Need MAJOR HELP recovering an 845E-Max board (no post)

    Hey guys and gals, I need some SERIOUS SERIOUS help here recovering my old board. I have an MSI 845E-MAX board, and decided to do some overclocking to it. While doing it, I raised the FSB too much, and now the system wont post. So I know what your all thinking, ok, take out your CMOS battery, or clear the JBAT1 jumpers. While ive done that, repeatedly, to no avail. Ive cleared the jumpers over and over, nothing. Taken the battery out for a 24hr period, nothing. Took the battery out for nearly a MONTH!, and nothing. Next your probally thinking, while maybe its bad RAM, Vid Card, CPU, etc. While it isnt lol Ive replaced/tested all the current hardware in other systems and they all work fine. Ive got a defenet mobo problem, and its really pissing me off lol on other boards by other manufacturers, if I put my FSB to high and it didnt post, restarting would put it into default specs, so I could adjust my fsb as needed. With this 845E though, its no such luck, and reseting the CMOS dosent do anything to fix it. Ive also read some posts about other boards who dont even have a JBAT1 jumper, and used an "insert" key method, where they power down, hold down the insert key, and boot up. Decided to try this, and it did nothing. I didnt think it was made for my board in the first place, but decided to give it a shot. IVe also tried reflashing/recovering the bios, by downloading the newest bios (its an AMI i believe) renaming it, putting it to a floppy, and booting the system holding CTRL+HOME to force the update. but it does nothing, and dosent even seem to read the floppy as the little green light dosent come on when i power up. The DVD/CD drive does though, and wehn i place WIN XP SP2 in the drive, it reads it and green light stays solid, so its just the floppy drive im having probs with I guess. Also, i get no beeps at startup, but can hear the hard drive boot and spin. I list my hardware specs below to help
    So PLEASE, some MSI guru, help me before I go crazy here! :P thanx a million to any one who can lend a hand.

  • 845E Max(6566E) Temp Issue

    Any1 who uses this mobo has some temperature issues? Pls post ur idle/full load temperature here n see whether we have some temperature abnormalities...
    I'm running a P4 2A Ghz with Volcano 7+ & AS3 applied evenly.
    My temperatures are:
    idle:         56^C / 36^C (CPU/Chassis)
    full load:  67^C / 40^C (CPU/Chassis)
    both with an room temperature of 26^C.
    What u have with ur temperature? Do share.

    Idle: 45C-48C/28C-33C (Depending how hot it is outside)

    Outside Temp is : 32C-38C
    My Thermaltake LCD probe displays case temp at 1C-2C higher than the MSI mobo sensor. This leads me to believe that there isn't anything wrong with my mobo's temp detection.   )

  • MSI 845PE Max-L

    Is there a compability problem between Radeon 9200 Atlantis,P4 2.66 Gig prosessor and MSI 845PE Max-L ??
    Memory module is DDR 400 512 Ram,HD is Maxtor 120 Gig ATA 100
    Every single component works fine with my other Motherboard ( MSI 845E Max )
    but when I try to start these in 845PE Max-L only thing that happens is prosessor cooler spins 2 seconds...then totally silence....I got a motherboard replaced once
    already....
    I cleared CMOS
    tried another graphic card ( Geforce3 Ti 500 )
    Nothing happens even with default settings...
    Highly unlikely that two broken motherboards has been given to me !?!?!?!
    Please someone tell me what to do..
    E-Mail,MSN or here at the Boards...
    - THX -

    "Lower you DRAM Freq to 333MHz and increase you DDR Voltage to 2.7v, thereafter incrasing your AGP Voltge to 1.6v."
    Why ? and how ?
    cannot go to BIOS..
    and I just asked if there is a compability problem...
    Danny : no other cooler movement :(
    just prosessorcooler spins few times,
    there are no shorts between board and case through the standoffs.
    I took motherboard out of case ( in case of that )
    Whole F****n thing is starting to me off...
    Never had this much problems with MSI-boards :(
    So,once again ; every component works in 845E max ,same case,same powersupply etc.
    Only sure thing seems to be : 2 broken motherboards ! ( god damn )

  • MSI Why No HT Support On 845e Max Rev1

    Please can someone from MSI tell me if there is anyway to update my 845E Max 6566 MB to utilise Hyper Threading. I have the latest Bios Revision 5.9.
    In the specs on this website it says that the 845E Max DOES support HT. Yet mine does not have a Bios menu for it.
    Is there any way to enable HT short of buying a new MB (which I do not really want to do as I though my current one should support HT).
    TIA

  • MSI 6566E (845E Max)

    I have recently bought the MS-6566E m/b (845E Max). The problem I experience is strange :
    The 1st time I bought this m/b, it does not detect the HDD (IBM 25GP-352030 or Maxtor D740X-6L0402J. I went to the shop to get a new replacement.
    After installing the m/b again, I still encounter problem but with different case. This time, the m/b always reflect the HDD name incorrectly eg. Maxtor becomes haxtor, or the IBM become IHM etc.. it  continue to be that way.
    This does not end here, on occasion it only detect the Maxtor HDD size as only 5G instead of 40Gb. I did a low level, high leve format, clear the MBR but the problem still happen intermittently without much solution.
    On some occasion after formatting the HDD with eg. with Win98 system, when I boot up, I could not get the 'command prompt' as the system just hang there with only the cursor blinking at the top left of the screen.
    I did change my DDR 266Mhz RAM from Crucial to Transcend but does not help either.
    On the other hand, when I take the 2 HDDs and installed in another PC, it works perfectly ok. Able to see the HDD name correctly and no errors.
    The other funny thing is that, when I managed to get the m/b recognised the HDD, I can install any OS, eg. Win98SE, Win XP or Win2000, however after the completion of installation these OS, I can get th ?( e system
    booted up. The screen will show only the cursor blinking at the top left corner. Various means to get the HDD bootup fail.
    By the way, I have spent about 4 days without resolving the case. The funny thing is that, I'm not so sure even after replacing with another new m/b,
    Grateful for any one of your help.
    Thanks, mf  ?(  ?(

    Yes, I did change the IDE cable and dismantle and reinstall the m/b to the chassis.
    Strangely now that it seems that whenever I cool down the system, I can boot up (eg. Win98) startup boot menu selection, however when I select 'Normal'
    or 'Safe Mode', I will go into 'Fatal Exception 0D at 0147:xxxxxx' error. This always happen after I've cool
    down the system and reboot.
    If I dont let the system cool down, when I boot up, I get
    the same problem of blank screen and the cursor just stay at the top left corner awaiting for something ?
    Ytd, I did manage to get a spare P4 1.7Ghz CPU (478) and replace the exisiting one but the same problem appears as I have mention before.
    I do not suspect the HDD or FDD is having problem as both HDD can be install and configure with different2 OS when installed in another PC.
    I also did try to installed these HDD in this m/b after configuring it with Windows from other PC. However, the
    problem as describe above remains.
    So I have reassemble the m/b, change CPU, change the RAM type, swap the RAM slots, change VGA cards and HDD too. I have now taken 5 days to install this PC.
    Any other help... my friends, mf

  • Is old 845E Max the same as 845E Max (HT ready)?

    Hi:)
    I've got MSI 6566 845E Max mainboard. But the only mainboard i found on http://www.msi.com.tw is 845E Max (HT ready). Can i use driver, firmware etc updates if they r for 845E Max (HT ready) to my mainboard? And finally, can i mount a Intel HT processor?
    Thx for answer in advance.

    I am NOT trying to be a WISE-GUY fellas! But I will BET you guy's the house that if he DOWNLOADS the BIOS (5.7) that his MO-BO WILL INDEED BE ABLE TO RUN IN H-T MODE, (as long as he gets a H-T PROC.)!. I say this because this has been done with other MO-BO companies! ie VIA, ASUS, AOPEN. I CAN VERIFY THIS STATEMENT FOR THE FACT THAT MY OTHER PC, A VIA P4BP-400-FL REV 2.0. WAS BUILT BEFORE (HT) CAME OUT, And on the VIA FORUM THESE SAME QUESTIONS WHERE ASKED! BECAUSE THE SAME BOARD WHITH REV.3.0 WAS (H-T) READY. BUT THE NEW BIOS REV. WAS FOR BOTH BOARDS!! I FLASHED BIOS (Thinking my BOARD would be a mess) BUT NO!! MY BOARD WAS NOW (H-T) READY!. SO I MUST SAY THAT I HAVE MORE FAITH IN MSI THEN I DO IN VIA, HENCE THE REASON I SAY THAT (IF THE NEW BIOS IS FOR BOTH BOARDS "REV 1.0 AND LATER) THEN Gotrec WILL INDEED HAVE A (H-T) BOARD AFTER HE FLASHES AND GETS A NEW PROC.!!   PS. IF IT DOES NOT WORK FOR HIM I WILL BE IN HIDING ...Sean REILLY875

  • Intel 3.06GHz on MSI 648 Max L

    Hi,
    I have a question; if I were to purchase in the future a P4 3.06Ghz processor which supports HT, will it work on my MSI 648 Max without hyperthreading just as a normal processor? I understand that hyperthreading does not work on this board (the one without the udated chip). I'm just curious if the processor itself is supported. I don't see why not, it should just work as a single 3.06 processor. Thanks in advance.
    Razvan Scutaru

      I have the 3.06 running in mine , and the board is the one that does not have HT.. and it works just fine..
      The only thing that I have found is that you cannot run 400 mghz ram in it with spd setting.. you will have to go and set up the setting manual and then it will work.. don't ask me why I can't find it out..lol..
      But other than that it is one fast computer..
      also if you set the ram setting to anything other than  the fast setting  it will default back to 2.5 on the cas setting..
      But after running bench marks I can't see any improvement by running at a cas of 2..
      Also if you have a black screen when you are working with the bios you will have to clear them and reboot .
      I had one that gave me problems but it was the PSU that was causeing it.. 400 wat but in real load it was only putting out 328 wats..  and that will not work with a 9700 pro in this board.. at least it would not on mine.
