Msi 880GM-E43 can't overclock my ram

My Computer Spec:
880GM-E43 BIOS 2.11, Sempron 140/Sempron 145(Unlock)/Athlon X2 5200(Unlock), Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
Super Talent WB160UB2G8 (Default: 1600MHz CL8-8-8-24-36 1T)*
Corsair HX850W +12V~70A, +5V~25A, +3.3V~25A
Galaxy GTS250 1GB
WD Caviar Blue WD6400AAKS 640GB 16 MB cache SATA 2.0
ASUS DVD/CD R-W
* This ram cannot find on SuperTalent offical webpage.
Bios show "cmos checksum bad" when I overclock my Ram(1600MHz CL8-8-8-24-36 1T change to 1600MHz CL7-8-8-24-36 1T or 1600MHz CL7-8-7-24-36 1T etc.)
This ram maybe use ELPIDA BDBG ram chips(find from internet)

Got the same probs as you mate. Can't push my 3000+ much higher than 208mhz FSB either, it just resets and sometimes throw up errors when i try.
My specs are as follows;
AMD64 3000+ (Stock cooler)
2x512 Geil Value pc3200 RAM
K8N NEo Platinum
2x 80gig Maxtor SATA (RAID 0)
ATI 9800pro
Temp was really high (idle 49, load 59!) when i first got it but after changing to the 1.4 bios i get idle 36, load 45 now.
Strangely my system is not set at 200mhz FSB by default. When i try to go to default FSB or try 200Mhz FSB it sets to 201Mhz instead so my system is at 2010Mhz, I cant get 200Mhz bus! At this setting its really 'jumpy' when playing games i get little judders/pauses. When i overclock to 205mhz+ then it runs smooth as anything, it's really strange.
Well i've tried AGP at 67 and 68 no luck, moved SATA over to the 3/4 Ports, relaxed memory timings, upped voltage on both ram and CPU, removed drives, etc no luck at all :(
Temps are well within limits (Apart from this the system runs rock solid, primes at full load for 9+ hours overnight easy at 2080Mhz with temps reaching 49C, just absolutely no luck in overclocking any further.
I've decided to use this setup for a HTPC instead and build another with a DFI board and hopefully fare better next time.

MSI 880gm-e43 ddr3 1600 support

I recently purchased this motherboard (msi 880gm-e43), and Kingston HyperX 4GB KHX1600C9AD3K2/4G ram kit. However while both are supposed to support DDR3 1600MHz, I only get 1333 with the default configuration.
Do I need to change overclocking settings to get these working? If so how can I do that?
(Btw, SPD shows up to 1333 only, while MSI's control panel applications also has another entry for XMP-1600, which I do not exactly know how it differs).

I though I was able to do it. There was a simple option, which allowed 1600MHz with no issues.
But it turns out that mode comes with increasing DRAM timers. Is there a way to increase the clock speed, while keeping the timers fixed?
(I compared Windows Experience Index scores, it performs exactly the same in both those configurations).
There is this page, but it has no documentation, and I have no idea how to set it up:

How can I overclock my RAM

Hi,
I have the system written in my signature.
My FSB is 398.4 and my Core Speed is at 2191.2
My RAMs are at frequenced at 166Mhz. And they work as DDR 333mhz Dual channel 512x2.
Is there any way I can overclock these RAMs to work at DDR 400?
Thanx in advance.

if you set your dram:fsb ratio to 1:1 it will make the ram frequency the same as the fsb. you will not likely be able to OC your ram in dual channel. i dont know how well the ram will OC either.
good luck

Temp problem with 880gm-e43

Hey
I have been having a problem with a new build of an 880gm-e43/athlon II 640 quad core.
I haven't been able to get the temps or voltages to read correctly in any monitoring software. Bios temps have read 24-28c, 12v volts 12.28, while software in vista temps have been reading 6c-18c and 12v has been reading 4-5 volts. I have tried amd overdrive, hwmonitor, speedfan, core temp, etc all saying the same thing. I am running;
msi 880gm-e43
athlon 640 x4
corsair 520 watt ps
wd 250 gb drive
Win Vista 32
Kingston DDR3 1333 ram, 2gb
I have turned off acc, green power, amd cool and quiet, changed a large number of settings, but this still remains. I have updated to cat 10.10, added the sb drivers, and I have also updated the bios from v 2.9 to v 2.a via live update, reset all bios settings to optimized, then reset to turning off acc, green power, but have cool and quiet on again. I also have the cpu fan set to 25% now, and sys fan to 50%.
I am at a loss as to the error on temps. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
PS: Also one question as to Bios updates. I didn't see any listed for manual download under 880gm-e43, it just gave the link for live update. Other motherboards have bios listed for them for manual download. just wondering....

well, been looking elsewhere for the problem
Fredrik said
Vista can not handle other companies' auto-starting programs (very well). That end is where I believe you should look for solutions.
So what you are saying is that Vista is the reason why I can't get anything to monitor accurately? Or is it that having the progs autostart is the problem? Because I have vista running on an older am2 msi board and reading temps/volts/etc properly. I am manually starting the programs after boot and log in and the drivers associated with them seem to be loaded when necessary. So the OS in and of itself doesn't seem to be the issue exactly. It just seems as if something isn't communicating the info properly to the utilities that should be reading it, or they are reading the info given incorrectly. I guess what is puzzling is that there aren't any other comments by other 880gm-e43 owners with this problem so I wondered if it was something particular to my set up, or is this something that will be solved in future updates of software, or is it something else...

880GM-E43 won't power on

I built this system about 6 months ago. 880-GM-E43, AMD Phenom II 1055T Hex core. Was running fine and then in the middle of working just powered off. At first I thought power Supply so tested that, it's OK. I can hook everything up and power is fine, except when I plug the 4-Wire CPU power to the MB, It will not power on then. Did my CPU Fry?? If so, what would be a good replacement? I don't need the Hex Core, it was just bundled in with the "Put together yourself" kit from Newegg.

MSI Big Bang-XPower II More MB RAM than the CPU can handle...

I understand reading in a few forum post :" By making more memory available to the system more data can be cached in RAM, so there will be less hard drive activity, and less swapping to memory so your system will perform better." But what happen when motherboard for a desktop that supports( and had install) more RAM than the processor can handle?(aka:processor Max Memory Size).
Please comment in this configuration.as I 'm looking for a MB than offer me the more SATA6 connection i found a few available using LGA2011 socket (MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS) than support 128GB. As I understand the processor Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor only work with 64GB.
Is there any advantage to have a MB that hold a bigger RAM capacity than the CPU? If so, how can this be translate using in a program like Adobe After Effects, RAM preview? thank

More Memory doe's not make it faster as its Volatile Memory (more RAM but it has to be run at much slower speeds) that is very short term and is just a buffer for active Programs and files it Caches there while its active but in no way improves system speed (as it has to be clocked slower to allow the IMC on the CPU to cope with it)! more memory just allows more Active Large programs and files open at the same time and huge amount of ram will only really be of benefit for things like Video Editing, photo editing and 3D rendering as those take alot of ram to allow all the computations that the CPU does to be held for quick access but only when they are active!
having more RAM then your CPU can Handel is a VERY BAD IDEA as it will just refuse to even post or in very rare cases damage the CPU's IMC leading to a dead CPU!
why MSI have done that is for possible later 2011 CPU's that may allow the 128GB of RAM limit to be used but currently they do not exist currently as X79 is a more professional grade Platform that will probably be around for years to come (may be used for many upgrade cycles and may eventually have a cpu that can use 128GB or ram) and who knows what will happen with Intel CPU's in that time frame! (more of a possible forward compatibility thing as its a very high end platform)
as for after effects it uses RAM for holding Render Files so in theory more ram will just allow it to render Larger files that are more complex without hitting the Available Ram ceiling that your computer has but it will not render any faster as a result it just gives it more headroom to work in!
so overall more ram = more Active space available & no increase in speed (actually maybe a drop in speed as it needs to run slower causing LAG/Latency) so it all depends what is important to you here to whether more ram is of any benefit or just a hindrance but that is down to your own use case scenario!

Somebody had luck to overclock Q9300 on P7N-SLI Platinum ? please post info

Try with mem settings auto and only adjust Vdimm to vendorspecs.
Did you try BIOS V1.1 from MSI : http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
This did solve some memory issues.
If so try, if you can, QVL memory and see if problem persists.
Hope this helps , good luck and keep us posted
Also be sure that your on manual and not linked, this will give problems too, when fsb divider gets higher then memory divider.
Furthermore, by using non qvl mem, the NB and fsb vtt are very depending on eachother.
I had the same with my board , the only difference with yours is the cirque pipe cooling and an extra chip for yorkfield support , but it is do-able

Can I use 4GB RAM on my MSI K8N Diamond with Windows 7?

Can I use 4GB RAM on my MSI K8N Diamond with Windows 7? I have put 4GB DDR 1 in my motherboard but windows 7 says (2.75GB usable)...
Regards, Jay

It depends highly on how much hardware (add-in cards) you have installed. If you have two VGA-cards, then it's likely that usable memory stays below 3GB. If you take some hardware out, you will see the usable memory increase a bit, but you won't reach the full 4GB. It will go as far as about 3.25 or so.

880GM-E43 voltage settings

My 880GM-E43 has the following voltage settings:
CPU VDD-auto
CPU NB VDD-auto
CPU-auto
CPU NB-auto
DRAM-auto
If I use -/+ keys, it will either move to the lowest or highest setting. So I'm not sure what the stock voltages are for CPU VDD and CPU NB VDD, as I'm not sure what they're for (the other 3 voltages I know). I'm used to seeing NB and SB voltage options instead.
Does someone know what the stock voltage settings for CPU VDD and CPU NB VDD are, so I can start from there when overclocking?
Also, I notice the 880GM-E43 support section on the MSI website doesn't have a BIOS download page (just driver, utility, manual). Any reason for that?

I ran the Memtest for 6+ hrs, no errors.
I did get the new drive today, and did a fresh install of W7 on it. BSOD right after I installed the SB drivers. This time I got PCI.SYS and NDIS.SYS.
I haven't installed any further drivers; running W7 stock from the dics - no updates either.

do more testing with Orthos:

also switch to 2T and re-test.

what if you don't install them? does the bsod persist?
what's the bsod error code?
This sound like network card driver..

880GM-E43 - What is the "real" maximum memory for this mobo?

Hi,
I have a system that I built awhile ago that uses the 880GM-E43 mobo. At the time that I built this system, everything that I found indicated that the max memory was 16GB (4 x 4GB), which is what I have installed now.
I've been wanting to have more memory (lots of VMware guests), so I've been starting to look at building a new system, which I thought would have required a different mobo that supports 32GB (4 x 8GB) and a new set of 8GB memory sticks.
While I was researching that, I found this:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/880GM-E43.html
and under the Specifications tab, it says:
Code: [Select]
DDR3 Memory DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*(OC)
DDR2 Memory N/A
Memory Channel Dual
DIMM Slots 4
Max Memory (GB) 32
Everywhere else, other than the MSI website itself, still seems to say "16GB" max.
Does anyone know which maximum is correct? Is it 16GB, or is it 32GB?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jim

It's only limited to what the CPU can handle, and that is far more then you can buy at this time
However, MSI only tested at the time of production of the board.
So if you use bigger modules you have to test yourself if it works with your CPU, the board got nothing to do with it.
What ever you do, don't mix sizes and brands, often goes wrong.
Bas,
Not doubting what you said, but I hope that's the case. Will post back as soon as it gets in and I get a chance to test it. As you suggested, I'll initially remove the 4x4GB sticks, and replace them with the new 2x8GB sticks, and see how that works. If it that works, I'll put in the additional 2x4GB (understood what you said, but this is interim).
Then, if that works, I can wait for maybe prices to drop to get an additional 2x8GB kit, but going to 24GB will help a lot with the work that I'm doing (mostly Vmware guests).

My computer died on me the other day so I thought it was the psu. I replaced that and that still didn't help so I replaced the motherboard. The MSI motherboard will boot, but restarts 3 to 4 times before it will boot up. Once it's running the computer runs fine. I also get an overclocking error every time the computer boots up and the over clocking button is an the default position. Has any one else had this problem or a fix? I'm starting to think I need to exchange the motherboard.
Thanks for any help
edit - I tried taking everything out and it still restarts.

I am afraid your CPU is one of the few thats not listed on the support page. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41TM-E43.html#?div=CPUSupport
This may or may not be the problem, but I do suggest you contact MSI support here >>How to contact MSI.<< and establish a course of action or get clarification.
also tell us the exact mem modules you are using

880GM-E43 Flaky Video

New system with the 880GM-E43 and the DSUB and DVI video is flaky with black line interference.Happens sometimes in my house, much more in the owners house. It "may" work using HDMI, I have to reconfirm that. Problem is the owner does not have HDMI monitor. I have updated BIOS, drivers, checked all connections, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks

1 - I have tried 3 different monitors with the same number of different cables I did try anothe monitor with HDMI and I do not remember seeing the problem. I will recheck as soon as I get a longer HDMI cable so I can put the monitor in the same location and observe it for a period of time.
2 - If you are looking at the desktop, it breaks up with black horizontal lines throughout, they come and go. Nothing to do with watching "video" like "Youtube".
3 - I have tried various refresh rates and resolutions
4 This is a completely new build, 500 watt PS, 4 GB ram, Win 7 Home Premium, Athlon II X4
