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?
Thanks!

  • MSI 880G-E45: trouble with 1600 RAM

    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?
    Thanks

    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.

  • 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 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.   

    Quote
    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

  • MSI 880GMA-E45 Overclocking

    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??

  • MSI 880G-E45 Bios recovery

    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(:

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • MSI 785gtm-e45 gpu overclock?? could it be??

    Hi guys, I'm new in the forum. Last saturday I bougth this motherboard (MSI 785GTM-E45) and I tried to overclock the ati 4200 integrated gpu but I can't. There isn't an option in the BIOS, not even with MSI Dual Core Center, or AMD Overdrive or ATI Tray tools or ATI GPU tools... so I would like to know if this new BIOS version has te option to change the MHZ in GPU. Thanks in advance!!

    Yes, that may be the case.  But this is a Micro-ATX-Mainboard which simply does not have this option in BIOS.  What is the point of overclocking the low-profile onboard-video chip of a mATX-Board besides increasing the chip temperature?  Overclocking onboard video chips is not going to turn them into high-performance full-featured video cards either.

  • Multiple hdd question? 880g-e45

    Was hoping you guys could help me set up my board using more then 2 HDD.
    Current setup is 880g-e45 with and 975 BE, 8 gig corsair 1600 memory, MSI r7770 oc edition video card, 128 GB Samsung ssd, and 1Tb Hitachi HDD
    I have been trying to install a 3rd HDD identicle to the Hitachi non raid though, but I can't get bios to recognize the 3rd drive if I unplug eitherof the 2 and swap in the second hHitachi it works fine but never with all 3. It also only recognizes a 3rd drive via USB never esata. The HDD controller is set to ahci
    Any help or ideas would be great.
    OS: win 7 ultimate x86_64/fedora 18 x86_64

    model of drives are hua722010cla330, both are identical, but system board also failed to recognize, my 2TB Western digital Green power drive Model number. WD20EADS.
    I do have a HDD docking bay that uses both usb and Esata and with 2 drives on System Board the bios will see Drives connected Via USB bot no Esata. And will not see drives If connected to Board.
    I Have tried swaping cables between the different drives to see if maybe it was a cable problem, and have since Replaced all sata cables, and upgraded PSU to make sure it wasnt cable/power related problem.

    In official msi global site says just 880GMA-E35 mainboard supports new FX bulldozer of all 880G mainboards but in this site http://www.techpowerup.com/143748/MSI-to-Make-AM3+-Processor-Upgrade-Painless-for-its-Users.html says 880GMA-E45 will support FX processors but with new BIOS version.

  • Alternative to MSI drivers with overclock settings too! (UPDATED)

    Hello all,
    Well, this has been posted a lot and I just wanted it here plain as day so we don't have to keep posting with this same answer.
    Many times, due to poor configuration. or any number of reasons the MSI drivers overclocking can be a bit on the buggy side, Coolbits is one of the best basic alternatives, and what you should be using anyway for overclocking and setting your card's options, however, in some cases the MSI drivers may be the only thing that works for your sytem, so this may not be for you, the only way to tell is to try it and see.
    Of course there are other utilities like Riva Tuner and nVtweak, that can take settings to another level of tweakdom, but for simplicity purposes Coolbits is the basics.
    Driver Information
    Download the latest Drivers from the nVidia Website. Again, you may have to search the internet for a previous version that works better for your configuration. you can go to http://driverheaven.net where they have a whole archive full of previous versions.

    QI have MSI drivers installed but the Tabs are still present in Display Properties, how do I remove them?
    A MSI's clock tabs are controlled by msicpl.dll and will not removed, you will manually have to eradicate the file yourself. It should be in the windows directory but if you cannot find it just do a search.
    Keep in mind that XP's System Restore can also complicate things, while I won't recommend disabling it, it's something to think about.
    *Supplimental Information*
    With the intoduction of MSI's DOT Overclocking DOT Explained utility, some of the guesswork is taken out of the art of overclocking your card, however, don't assume that it is safe. Overclocking in ANY case can damage hardware if not done properly. One must take proper measures in cooling, and become educated in the dynamics of overclocking in order to get the best results. Just remember that heat shortens the life of any component, overclocking simply accelerates it. Liken it to smoking, one will most likely have a shorter lifespan, or have health problems.
