MSI 880G-E45 AMD ATX and G.Skill Ram?
I am upgrading my system and was thinking of getting the MSI 880G-E45 AMD ATX motherboard with the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE AM3 with the G.Skill 2 2Gig ram sticks. I checked the MSI site to see if the ram works with the 880G, but the 2 last letters of the ram listed was off from what I bought. Does that mean it won't work? The package says the G.Skill is designed for Intel LGA1156 platforms and compatible with Intel LGA1155 Sandy Bridge and AMD AM3 CPUs.
F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL is what I bought
F3-12800CL9D-4GBHN or something like that was what was listed on the list
I know the motherboard and processor are compatible though because I saw a couple of people using the same bundle and it's listed as compatible.
MSI 880G-E45 AMD ATX
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T BE AM3
G.Skill Ripjaws 2 2Gig ram
And yes, I am not very computer techy literate.

But on newegg, the G.Skill had pretty stellar reviews from a bunch of people so it's hard to think they are a bad choice.
Were these reports by Intel or AMD users ?
If you look at what G-Skill states themselves in one of the feedbacks you will see this:

We are sorry to hear you are having issues. Please make sure to configure memory settings properly in BIOS. Without the proper settings, this memory will not work smoothly. This memory is above standard, so manual settings or enabling DOCP (if supported) is required. AMD systems only support DDR3-1333 CL9 natively, so if you purchase memory better than this, you must manually input settings in BIOS

Video problem with MSI 880G-E45 board
Does anyone know if the onboard video is automatically disabled by installation of a PCI-e x16 video card on this motherboard?
I want to run two monitors and I cannot figure out how to keep the onboard vga active when I have a video card in the PCI-e x16 slot.
Thanks!I can't believe a Moderator on a Manufacturer's Forum is handing out such INCORECT information!!!!
Quote from: flobelix on 16-August-12, 12:43:00
Unfortunately bottom line is you can't use your onboard vga for another display besides a vga card powering different monitors. Using a discrete vga you are limited to it's multi-display abilities. Onboard vga will not work when vga card used. For using three monitors you could get an Eyefinity supporting Radeon as suggested or a GeForce GTX6xx. If your card is limited to dual display and you don't want to get a new one you'll stick with two monitors.
I submit this link (tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-780g-chipset,1785-6.html) as proof that it is possible to use both the on-board video and an added video card both simultaneously or in crossfire mode on a single display.
To further illustrate this fact further, I submit this link (amd.com/it/products/technologies/ati-hybrid-graphics/Pages/ati-hybrid-graphics.aspx) to AMD.com stating the purpose for their "Hybrid Crossfire" technology, and although their page does not show specificly that the MSI 880G-E45 motherboard supports this, THIS page Does! (msi.com/product/mb/880G-E45.html#/?div=Basic) --Scroll to the bottom to see the line stating "Hybrid Crossfire Support - Y"
When speaking with MSI customer support about this technology, you are directed to this page (msi.com/file/test_report/TR1_2233.pdf) which shows a list of compatible video cards, ALL of which supported the Hybrid Crossfire when tested by MSI.
Add "http:\\www." to each of the links...
"flobelix", perhaps it would be better to simply say "I Don't Know" rather than providing MSI's customers with incorrect information and suggesting that they spend more money on something else.
BTW, I have personally tried 2 different video cards (MSI Radeon HD 6670 1Gb DDR5) and the (Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 1Gb DDR3) that are NOT on MSI's list, and they did NOT work with the Hybrid crossfire.
I hope we can limit further suggestions to facts instead of guesses.

MSI Neo Platinum and G.skill Ram
Was just wondering if anybody had this combination (MSI K8N Neo Platinum and G.skill Ram). I have the MSI Neo Platinum. I ordered the processor yesterday (3400 1Mb socket 754) and now I need some ram. I ran across this ram and saw that it had good timings. If anyone has this or has tried it please lemme know how it worked for you and what size sticks you got. Thanks
Karllooked at the links you provided
specs seem ok nice range of speeds and can run at a nice low latency at pc3200 i.e 400mhz.
should also enable a nice o`clock at pc 4400 specs ie 3.4.4.8 ie higher fsb etc.
than pc 3200 ram
you should be able to run it at fairly low latencies and fairly high fsb sort of half way between the 2.
might well be worth a try you might have found something good there. but then again you wont know till you try it..
contact the reseller and see if you can rma it if it wont run
then you got some comeback if it aint compatable..
keep us informed -
Unfortunately today their was a short circuit in my house,I was playing a game while it happened the pc rebooted itself and when it did it didnt even boot the bios!!
It says Bios recovery is requested insert usb,
So i went to go look for the bios on this website and Its not even here and guess what msi doesn't even have it avaible for this specific motherboard only live update 5 which i can't even use because my pc is current well yeah you get me. so basically all I need is the bios for 880g-e45 thanks(:Meanwhile Ill search in the bios section for a solution

MOVED: Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM
This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAMIf you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs. -
MSI 990FXA-GD65 + AMD FX-6300 + 16GB 1866MHz RAM Won't Boot
Hello,
Today I received parts for my new gaming system (sans water cooler, using the stock heatsink+fan until then), however I'm experiencing problems with the setup. The specs are as follows:
- MSI 990FXA-GD65
- AMD FX-6300 CPU
- GSKILL 16GB (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 RAM
- Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD
- 2x MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti
- EVGA NEX750B1 PSU
- BitFenix Comrade case
Upon powering on (after assembly), the Phase Indicator only has the first two LEDs lit up (Phase 2 Power Mode, according to the manual). No output is displayed on screen. I've tried removing and re-inserting the CPU and removing one of the graphics cards, to no avail.
I would appreciate any help/advise that could be offered, that I might get this system up and running!
Kind RegardsTry to run this system out of the case on non conductive area (e.g. plain cardboard) with 1 stick of RAM only, 1 GPU (try without any graphics cards too), single HDD/SSD, PSU of course, CPU+cooler and monitor+keyboard and mouse. When booting spam Delete and it should take you to the BIOS where you have to change timings of RAM suggested in the post about GSkill memory.
If possible, borrow different brand of RAM to test your PC with.
Make sure that if you're running single GPU, that video cable is connected to the card. If no GPU, then to the motherboard. -
MSI 880G-E45: power on by mouse or keyboard
Does the board support such function?
Thanks!Power on?... No
Wake from Sleep/Hibernation... yes!
Just set your Bios 'Power Management' / 'Wake Up Event Setup' / to Wake from 'USB'. That is if your Mouse and/or Keyboard are USB.
This is a very good Forum for MSI owners.. you will be amazed at the number of talented people, that take the time to help others. Since you are new here, please read the posting guide...

MSI 880G-E45 overclock to 1600
AMD X4 840
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
2x4GB Patriot Sector 5 PGV38G1600ELK 1600 (PC3 12800) 9-9-9-24
Antec 500W power supply
Gigabyte Radeon 4550 HD
Patriot said the RAM is certified at 9-9-9-24 at 1600. Memtest86+ showed about 2-5 errors overnight. However, system is extremely unstable and often crash on start up
I've increased memory voltage to 1.7 but still does not help
What else could I try?

MSI 880G-E45: trouble with 1600 RAM
AMD X4 840
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
2x4GB Patriot Sector 5 PGV38G1600ELK 1600 (PC3 12800) 9-9-9-24
Antec 500W power supply
Gigabyte Radeon 4550 HD
Tried both Patriot and OCZ. Both runs fine at stock speed. But both having trouble at 1600. Only a few errors in Memtest86+ but Windows 7 constantly crashes on start up. I've increase the voltage to 1.7 and still does not help (required 1.65)
RMA the RAM now.
The question is: is it the RAM or the board? How can I tell?
ThanksQuote
Patriot has explained the RAM is certified at 1600 but it defaults to 1033 so that it can work with any mobo. SPD confirms it support 1600 at 9-9-9-24. Do you mean all these certification is invalid?
That is not what anyone is intimating.
Your memory controller supports 1066/1333. Trying to run the memory at 1600 is overclocking which means that you may experience instability.
If your PC runs stable at 1066 or 1333 mem SPD then leave it there. If you want advice on overclocking the mem to 1600, then start a new thread in the overclcoking section of the forum. -

Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM
Hi all,
Which BIOS settings would you recommend for this combination:
MSI K8N Plat
3000+ Venice core
2 x 512 MB GEIL value RAM
I have NorthQ Giant UFO cooler attached to CPU. I would like to have as fast system as possible but remain on the safe side - a 100% stable system.... I know default would be safe enough but wouldn't use the potential of the CPU, I gues....
BR, JensIf you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).

880G-E45 - no display on initial boot
I built two rigs, both with an
880G-E45 and Phenom II x4 840 but one with a 6870 and the other using on board video
First, I put together the system with the video card and it had no display during the initial boot.
I tried using HDMI, VGA, and DVI and none of them worked. Then without changing anything, it suddenly worked plugging the DVI into the top slot of my video card.
Now, plugging it into the HDMI slot and the top DVI slot are the only way it to get it to display on my monitor. The HDMI, VGA, and DVI from the motherboard still do not show any display. Anyone know how to fix this?
When building the second rig, I ran into the same exact problem, no display. I even swapped in my 6870 from my working build to see if that would do the trick again but no display would show up when powered on.
Anyone got any ideas on how to make video display on this thing?
I already tried using swapping RAMS, using 1 RAM, adding video card, securing all power plugs
It seems many other people are having similar problems as there are 3 threads on the front page. Could this have something to do with compatibility issues with the x4 840 and the motherboard? I will try swapping all the parts between the two rigs tomorrow.CPU : AMD x4 840 Quad Core 3.2Ghz

Hi Guys,
I'm new here. anyway, can anybody teach me how to overclock using this motherboard? below is my current setup:
Cooler Master Elite 430 Black
HEC Cougar 700W CM 80PLUS Bronze
MSI 880GMA-E45
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.8Ghz (still stock clocks, with stock heatsink fan.)
4GB (Dual) DDR3-1600 G.Skill RipJaws CL9
Sapphire HD 6850 1GB GDDR5
640GB WDC Black 64MB
Can I overclock my X6 1055T to around 3.4Ghz while using my stock HSF? I plan get a Thermaltake Frio and OC it to 4+Ghz. Are these realistic targets?hehehheheheh you really shouldve kicked in a few more bucks and the 1090t BE x6, the 1055t with stock cooler should get 3.55ghz easily however make sure you add more voltage to the cpu, also read up on your products I know this seems like a pain in the ass but if you take the time to read about your products you can ask direct questions about over clocking... this ----> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=40413.0 is a damn good place to start first.
Also I do not recommend overclocking with stock cooler. Not to say they are bad just saying that you are adding more voltage and heat to your system. Seems in my 17 years of building/playing with computers the stock heatsinks are made to fit the already set manufactures specs. i.e. if the cpu is a 3.20ghz then all they make is a heatsink to deal with those temp settings.
I have got a stable 4.04ghz on my x6 1090t shown here alittle (all on air cooling)
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146059.0
However I feel like every system has a "sweet spot" a zone where if tuned right you get the max performance for current build. Like mine ended up being 3.84ghz memory @ 1602mhz fsb to 240
I think 4ghz on the 1055t is very doable as long as you keep it cooled, also keep your room temps to about 68-70F as far as doing it to 3.40 on a stock cooler i wouldn't see why not?? but don't see much of a gain to increase it only few MHz?? -
After having pressed the Del key during booting up - the computer hangs with "Entering Setup" shown in the bottom left of the screen.
* The problem was orignally found with the 1.0 version of the Bios but remains after upgrading to 1.5. With both versions the Bios was cleared with by switching the JBAT connector.
* Memcheck86 has been executed and reports no error.
* Attempts have been made with the SSD and BR drives detached with no joy
Setup is as follows:
