Msi 875p DOC/PAT/MAT help

hey, this is my first time posting here and i would like to know a little bit about this great motherboard i just bought
well i have the msi 875P NEO-FIS2R motherboard and, i've heard it has DOC and PAT modes, ive looked everywhere in the BIOS, but i cannot find where to set these settings...
tomshardware.com has also mentioned that the MSI 875p neo-fis2r motherboard HAS dynamic over clocking mode, but i just cannot find it on my mother board
any help here would greatly be appreciated, thx...

Wonkanoby:excellent link-thank-you! I've said it on one of my earlier posts two months ago that this canterwood chipset was rushed to market. Certainly the memory makers were caught off guard and didn't have the proper time to test the compatibility of their ram with the 875. This was proven as many manufacturer's had to reprogram the ras to cas spd from cas 2 to 3. Memory seems to be the biggest issue among the many mobo brands. It seems to me that (as the article suggested)that the mobo manufacter's are playing a game of hit or miss catch up with the chipset that Intel provided them with. Never could I remember so many bios revisions in such a short time. And least you think that more bios releases are better-I've seen complaints from customers of a competitor(with over a dozen releases)that each new bios is making the system a tad faster and more overclockable(a good thing)but also less stable(a very bad thing!)Grantsdale didn't have nearly these types of problems with dual DDR.
   One question for you Wonkanoby-MSI did have a bios whereby manual memory adjustments were possible-I think either 1.32a or b.(It was with this bios that a user hit +25,000 3Dmark2001) Why can they not incorporate that feature from that bios into a forthcoming version. This seems to be the biggest complaint. Along with that a bios mode whereby no auto overclock of any bus takes place. What the user sets is exactly what he gets. This would certainly eliminate most of the complaints.
   I'm quite happy with my 875 but feel like performance is being left on the table.

  • Help: FSB Setting for MSI 875P with Intel 3.06 533Mhz & Corsair 512 27

    Help: FSB Setting for MSI 875P with Intel 3.06 533Mhz & Corsair 512 2799 333Mhz
    Need a little help here, Intel's specs for the P4 3.06GHz 533 is a multiplier of 23 x 133Mhz.
    However 133Mhz as a FSB seems very slow.
    The 875P NEO has two BIOS settings: CPU Ratio and Adjust CPU Bus
    What are your settings for these - I am quite confused?
    Thanks!
    G.

    133 is the stock FSB setting. set your memory to DDR333.
    Do you want to overclock? you might want to set your memory to DDR266 which is 1:1. so u can adjust a bit of FSB from 133 to maybe 150.
    PS dont forget your memory timing. 2-6-3-3 would be oki i think. what bios version r u using?

  • MSI-875P-FIS2R

    "BUMP"
    Hi
    WOW!  I have just purchased the MSI 875P Neo and after reading through the many, many problem posts regarding this motherboard on this board, I'm beginning to wonder if I've made the right choice?  Just read one from 'ferres' saying that he may have got an 875P from an earlier batch and this might be causing his problems.  How can we tell if I have a recent build of the board?
    I'm just getting my related hardware together (i.e. hard drives, cd-rom, display cards etc) so I have not set up the mobo yet but I would like some help with installing the drives using PATA and, or SATA.
    Ok, having read the manuals and seen, apart from the normal dual ultra DMA 66/100 controllers integrated in the Intel ICH6/ICH5R chipset (IDE 1 & 2), there are also two integrated SATA/SATA RAID 150 ports (SER1 & SER2) in this chipset.
    Also, the board has the Promise 20378 onboard controller with IDE 3 for connection two hard drives at up to modes UDMA 133.  It also has two SATA/SATA RAID connectors (SER3 & SER4).
    Now, I don't want to have any RAID Disk Arrays at this point because if I can get 133MB/Sec or 150MB/Sec without RAID (not on IDE 1 & 2 of course), then I simply want to connect my ATA133 Maxtor hard drives normally on IDE 1 & 2 @ UDMA 100, or on SER1 & SER2, or with the "As S-ATA" enabled for the Promise 20378 in the BIOS, connected to IDE 3 as Master & Slave, which will give me ATA133.  
    There is also the fourth option of using SER3 & SER4 on the Promise controller.
    The problem is that my Maxtor drives are not SATA drivers and I know that you can get SERIAL conversion kits that will allow me to use my drives as SATA drives and achieve 150MB/Sec but I have not found out where I can purchase them so (if anyone has a link in the UK I would be grateful),I would be happy with 133MB/Sec for the moment.
    Q:  Given this information, can anyone who has already configured their 875P successfully using any of the options given above, I would appreciate details of exactly how it was done.  I.e. What connections did you use and which is best:
    IDE 1 (For hard drives set to Master & Slave @ ATA100)
    IDE 2 (For CD-RW/DVD Drives)
    SER1 & SER2 (With Serial conversion kit - not sure about ATA 133 drive jumper settings when using PATA drives on SATA ports)
    IDE 3 (Master & Slave)
    SER3 & SER4 (Again with Serial converstion kit)
    Q:  Also, given the above options and with regards to SATA/PATA, what BIOS settings did you enable/disable for best perfomance?
    Q:  I intend to have my CD-RW/DVD drives on IDE 2 so, if using anything other that IDE 1 for my hard drives, does IDE 1 have to have any devices on it for the system to work correctly or can it be disabled (bearing in mind the boot sequence).
    At present, I have WinXP Per installed as Master on IDE 1 in another computer and also have a Maxtor 80GB ATA133 as slave on IDE 1, so I will need to transfer the drives to my newly built pc once I have enough information and I would assume that, after first enabling the appropriate options with regard to SATA/Promise 20378 and others, it's best to boot to the CD and fresh install the O/S ?
    One last question regarding the USB ports, the manual states that we can have total of 8 with 6 at the rear of the box and two at the front, or 4 at the rear and 4 at the front.  Well there are already 6 on the back I/O plate (4 at the top under the mouse/keyboard and two next to the LAN at the bottom)- how can we only have four at the rear when there are already 6 there?  My case also has two at the front and I also have D-Bracket 2 Connector which when connected to JLED1 and JUSB2 gives another 2 USB ports and when I connect the cabling from my front case USB ports to JUSB3, then I have another 2 USB ports making 10 in total?
    I have many other questions regarding the 875P but I will wait for these answers before asking anymore.
    Regards
    Brave01Heart  

    During boot up it will say what bios version you have. If you got version 1.0 best to get 1.5 and up.
    Serial ata should be in native mode, legacy mode will lose 1 of the ide ports.
    Some of my previous issues may have been attributed to Win2k which seem to require SP 4 to run properly in hyper threading set ups.

  • MSI 875P with Linux

    Hey guys i am trying to install linux on my computer, I am running an MSi 875 P Neo Fisr2. every single version if linux i install it freezes as soon as it has to detect usb, my problem is my mouse and keyboard are usb . I have switched to different Bios releases and even tried 1.74 Beta. Still same issue. Anyone can help ?

    Posted by Pete M I have Redhat 9 on MSI 875P, very steep learning curve to start with but I now have Ethernet up and running along with onboard sound, next task is to sort out dual boot
    Hey Pete, perhaps you can help me. I have tried several times to install RedHat 9 on my system. Every time it hangs up after a line which indicates it is searching for IDE0. I have only a SATA harddrive and was guessing linux was on an endless search for a IDE harddrive.
    I see you have both SATA and PATA drives in your system. Did you install Linux on the PATA drive? If so, was that out of necessity, did you try to install on a SATA drive?

  • Question with PAT/MAT?

    Hi Guys.
    I'm kinda a newbie well I just built my new system from scratch.  :D Anyways I have a Neo2-FIS2R motherboard with the 875P chipset and I was wondering whether the PAT/MAT function when enabled affects the Processor or just the RAM.
    The reason I wanna no is that I want to keep my Intel warranty on my new P4 cos I dont wanna overclock yet. Big Trob with rents if I do.
    So if anyone nos for a fact whether or not enabling the PAT/MAT function on this motherboard void the P4 warranty.
    Thanks guys for ur help!  :P

    SASpaz:
    PAT is an Intel generated and Intel implemented feature on THEIR 875 (Canterwood) chipset (which is on your mobo) to improve memory performance, not the speed of the P4 itself.  They have it on their own mobo's with the Canterwood (875) too. So if you have a RETAIL P4 (a P4 that ORIGINALLY came with Intel's fan and heatsink) you have a 3 year warrantee on the P4.  (READ your warrantee that was included with your P4).
    What is NOT supported is a P4 that was damaged as the result of OC'ing, (probably including damage due to D.O.T., which is only on the 865PE Neo2 FIS2R mobo so far).
    Damage due to OC'ing may or may not be difficult to prove depending on what the failure is.

  • Problem with S-ATA optical drive(MSI 875P Neo)

    Ahoy MSIers,
    I am in a most dire situation, and before I go to spend money on some computer-tech guy to solve my problem, I thought maybe you could help me.
    *My PC specs:
    Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2800Mhz
    MSI 875P Neo
    A-DATA 512Mb RAM DDR 400 * 2(1024)
    PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro
    Western Digital Hard Drive 80Gb 8Mb buffer P-ATA
    Pioneer DVR-212D S-ATA (The main issue here)
    Bios - AMIBIOS - VERSION 3.31a
    Windows XP Pro - SP2
    Until 2 days ago I owned an MSI CD(P-ATA) burner which was virtually dead.
    2 days ago, It died completely, So I decided that I will not just replace a CD burner for a CD burner... no! I will buy myself a new shiny DVD burner!
    So I bought myself a Pioneer DVR-212D(S-ATA) and I went on with installing it.
    I plugged the Serial Power Cable from the PSU to the drive, and connected the drive and the S-ATA port on my M-Board with a serial-ata cable.
    I booted up, and found that the device was nowhere to be found although power is being transferred to it(the drive opens and closes when pressing it's eject button).
    I searched the net and found that I was supposed to "enable" S-ATA in my BIOS.
    Tried that, yet every setting I tried besides the default setting gives makes the computer freeze for a few minutes at the MSI logo and then a "friendly" error massage appears, usually it's something like
    "4th master drive ATAPI incompatible" ( the number changes, I haven't got a clue why).
    Searched the net a bit more and found almost nothing... most s-ata "problems" were about booting from a s-ata hard drive....
    I am getting desperate, So in order to maximize the chances of me getting help solving this issue, I took a few pictures of the BIOS and the inside of my case... maybe it will help, I dunno.
    Here are some pics:
    The S-ATA cable connected to the Mother-Board
    Back of the DVD burner with the S-ATA cable attached
    BIOS - standard CMOS features
    BIOS - Integrated Peripherals
    On-Chip IDE configuration
    P.S
    I have a DVD ROM(Toshiba, nothing special) and I would of course occasionally like to burn Dvds/Cd's from my DVD ROM to my DVD burner. However, seeing as the DVD burner is S-ATA, there is no physical connection what so ever between the two drives(unlike in P-ATA connection where each cable has 3 "connections", 2 for drives(hard or optical) and one for the Motherboard) I really don't know how I can "achieve" this.

    A friend of my father's, whose occupation is a computer technician toke a look at the PC and bios settings today.
    WE tried EVERYTHING and It still wouldn't work so we concluded that the problem is probably in the hardware.
    There were two possible "suspects" here - The Mother Board(specificially the S-ATA controller/ports on it) or the drive itself.
    We connected the drive to my sister's computer and it worked like a charm.
    So the answer was clear - something was wrong with the board.
    I replaced my S-ATA drive for an IDE drive, and all is well.
    Well
    that's the end of that story 

  • MSI 875P and IDE 3

    Hi
    I will be powering up my newly built 875P system this Sunday and I would like some help in getting my hard drives connected/drivers installed before I do that please?
    I do not have any S-ATA drives at present and I don't want to use RAID, but have two Maxtor ATA133 hard drives and I have the choice of using IDE 1 & IDE 2 which are ATA100 or, I could use IDE 3 which will support my ATA133 drives, though I don't think I would notice much difference if I used either port?
    The installation will be a new one with a Windows XP install and, in order to get my computer to boot from the master drive, say on IDE 3, what settings, in what parts of the BIOS should I change/enable/disable before starting the installation?
    I am also right in thinking that, after I have made the changes in the BIOS and the XP setup begins, I need to press F6 to install the drivers but as I don't want to use RAID and I have no S-ATA drives right now, what do I need to choose after inserting the motherboard floppy?
    Regards

    Hey,
    Well to answer your dilemma, it can be done but might require some trickery.  I did some experiments and right now I am running 2 WD2000JB drives on it in RAID-0, but by reading other posts I was able to do the following as a test.
    Two Seagate Barracuda IV ATA-100 7200RPM 80GB Drives were used.
    I don't know if you can do both at once, but I did one at a time and it worked for me.  But I did this with the old 1.5 bios.  I don't know if you can with the 1.74b  or others but I think you might because I don't think the flashes change the bios version on the actual promise 378 controller.
    I put one drive on IDE as cable select.  Went into the BIOS and set PROMISE Onboard to AS RAID.  Now I save and exit and hit CTRL-F when the Fasttrak Bios tries to load.  I choose create array within the Promise BIOS but only choose 1 drive.  Then save and exit.  Then repeat with the second drive also as cable select.  It should allow you to do what you are trying.    In fact others who have done the same have reported that it gives a boost in drive transfer rate.  like changing from standard IDE on an old 40 conductor cable in DMA mode, and then plugging a promise card with an 80 conductors and going UDMA.
    If you get the error where it will not let you select only one drive, you may need to set the drive jumpers differently.
    Good Luck!  Hope this helps,

  • Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
    I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine  with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

    Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power.  Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.

    will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

  • MSI 875P FISR keep in touch

    I'm currectnly building a new computer using this MB. I would like for others who are using this same board, or are curious of the performance of this board to keep in touch with with me. With it being brand new and everything I want to keep in touch with others to discus benchmarks, errors, configurations and anything pertaining to the system. Updates and anything.
    My computer will be made the following:
    MOBO-  MSI 875p FISR

    Onboard Sound ( For Now )
    WD 80 Gig HDD running ATA100 ( Possibly raid0 later with 2)
    Will post the BIOS onfiguration and changes in hardware as they are made. Keep in touch people.

    Unfortunately, I had a bad experiaence with thepeople I was ordering my MB through and they didn't want to resolve the problem. I have chosen another board. I do want to keep this going though. I will be building another computer in about 3 months and the info gathered here will be helpful. I really like this board. I have instead chosen to go with the MB DFI LANPARTY PRO875 RETAIL and believe it or not, they have already shipped it. It should be in Friday, Monday at the latest. Everything else will remain the same though. Keep this going so we all have a standard place to find information on these boards. Thanks.
    FYI, the other company told me that because I didn't pay for the fastest shipping, I could not be certain that I would recieve it within a month. I asked if I could do something to make that certain and they gave me a hard time. The main diff with the board I am going with and the MB I was going with is I don't have any Firewire unless I get a card. Oh Well. I doubt I would have a lot of use anyways. Also, no one else had one in stock that I could find. Well, talk to you all later. Bye for now.

    which version it is exactly?
    and have you flashed to this version when you got the board?
    If so do you include BIOS+ME Update? [required] not sure the bios file was just downloaded and then flashed in the bios via USB. does the MSI bios include the +me as standard?
    bios was updated because we believed that was the issue but same problem. the bios version is

  • MSI 875P Neo FIS2R + 3.4 Ghz Prescott / Northwood?

    Hello.
    I looked a little around on these pages, but I couldn't find answers to my question.
    I have a MSI 875P NEO FIS2R, and BIOS version 1.8. Right now I'm using a 3.0 Ghz Processor, but I would like to upgrade to a slightly faster one. Can I upgrade to either a 3.4 Ghz Prescott or a Northwood 3.4 Ghz without updating my BIOS?
    I have seen so many on this forum failing to upgrade the BIOS and thus having a ruined MB
    I know there used to be a schematic that showed which processors the diferent BIOS'es could handle.
    -I hope someone can help me out.
    Thank you in advance for your time

    Thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it.
    I can see that my signature hasn't been completly updated, but now I have 2048 MB Kingston memory.
    The reason I ask about the processor is, that I would like my PC to perform better in Microsoft Flightsimulator X, and they recommend a 3.6 Ghz processor or higher. But you don't think I'll notice the difference from a 3.0 Ghz to a 3.4 Ghz?
    I'm definately not upgrading to just 3.2 GHz, that would be foolish as you say.
    I have an additional question, if you don't mind:
    I'm also upgrading my GFX to a X1950 pro. But again, Microsoft recommends a 512 MB graphics card, but do you think that I should just go for a 256 MB, or should I get the 512 MB card? Will I notice the difference?

  • MSI 875P Neo LSR Dead??

    Hi y'all,
    Saturday 12th of juli I've bought some components:
    - Intel P4 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB
    - MSI 875P Neo LSR
    - 2*512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 CL2
    - Hercules 3D Prophet 9800 Pro
    - Iiyama Vision Master Pro 413
    After installing the whole bunch, I tried to boot the system but nothing happend!
    So I waited for about 5 min. and booted again. This time almost succesfull but..... the only parts that were working are my fans (casefans, cpu-fan and the Northbridge-fan).
    The powerswitch wasn't working (and it was installed correctly). I had to power the system via the powerswitch on my powersupply. So my guess was that my mobo was dead!
    After returning the mobo back to my retailler, they concluded that it was dead indeed, so the gave me another mobo.
    So after installing the new board, I tried to boot again, but still no succes so far.
    My retailer tested the board again and it was also dead.
    Some symptoms:
    - Active fans
    - No HDD, floppy and DVD-player/Burner activity
    - Blank screen (display in standby)
    - Instant power on when I turn the switch on on my powersupply
    I've tried different videocards, memory modules and clearing the C-MOS, bur nothing seems to help ;(
    Can you please help me out????
    Thanks
    Best regards,
    Arjan

    With regard to the motherboard stand-offs, motherboards dont always use the same amount or in the same position (the stand-offs are movable -either bending out of brackets in the case or unscrewing)
    Always check ALL the standoffs line-up with screw positions for your moterboard before fitting, a wrongly positioned post can short-out PCB traces/pins
    Another easily overlooked item is the square 4 pin 12v connector (older type power supplys dont even have one), the 12v power connector is located by the northbrige/AGP socket (the CPU will not start without this fitted)
    Sometimes when physicaly altering a computer the reset or power-on (start) switchs dont line up correctly with their buttons -this can cause the switch to be permanently "on"
    The power-on switch will cause the computer to "cycle" (constant restarting) and the reset switch will cause the computer to hang with-out initialising -try removing the reset switch connector from the motherboard
    If none of those are the problem i would suggest trying a different power supply -or maybe your dealer could check the one you are using at the moment

  • MSI 875P NEO LSR versus Corsair TWINX

    HI,
    I'm about to purchase the following parts:
    Mainboard: MSI 875P NEO LSR
    Memory: 2 sets of Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB).
    Is this mainboard capable of handeling 4 modules of the above memory?
    I've also seen modules from GeIL, are they any good?
    The module i've seen are: GeIL PC3200 Ultra.
    I want to run my memory at the following timings: 2-2-2-5T
    I believe Corsair is capable of that, but I'm not 100% sure if GeIL is. Atleast my retailer told me so.......
    Can you please help me on this one? ;(
    Regards,
    Arjan

    My Corsair TWINX 3200LL runs fine with 2-2-2-5-8 settings at 400 mhz
    Ok, that's good to know
    But do you know if the MSI 865 or 875 mainboard can handle Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB)? Because it's not mentioned in the memory.pdf file.......
    Quote
    It may, or it may not, it just depends, running all 4 modules seems to make it harder to run at tighter timings.
    Ok, so to achieve tighter timings, i'd better use 2 modules of Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB).
    It's not cheap by the way..... it costs €375,- here in Holland. So that's why I want to know this memory ''thing''.

  • MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE GRAPHICS CARD ISSUE

    Hey gus,
    Yesterday I put together a new build, however I can only get integrated video to output to the monitor and not my discrete GPU. I have updated the bios to 1.4 from 1.2, made sure the GPU in question works (by trying on another machine) tried different cables etc etc. When I go into the BIOS I see there are two options for PEG and IGD modes. Default is PEG which is what it should be set to I would think. If anyone knows a fix for this issue please help! Thanks!
    MOBO: MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE
    PSU: THERMALTAKE 600 WATT
    CPU; i5-4670K
    GPU: GTX 560

    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Use option 1 pointed directly at the attached archive or run the bat file from pure dos.
    This is bios 1.4
    Make sure this is your board prior to flash: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G41-PC-Mate.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8.1 64
    You will need to re-install the ME drivers after the flash.

  • Is it possible to turn off the passcode?

    I've seen a couple postings that say go to Settings --> General --> Passcode Lock, but on my iPhone 4s I don't see anywhere to turn it off at that point.  In the manual, there is no description of turning off the passcode – at least I didn't find it.
