Msi 880gma-e35 (fx) Core unlocking...it is that safe on 95w athlonII ?

I read about many msi 880gma-e45 fried using cpu 125 watt tpd....do you think that would be safe to unlock a fourth core on a Athlon II X3 455 (TPD 95W)?
How many phase has this board?
Thanks

I would advise against it as the 455 is a B55 125W with a disabled core. No sense taking a chance of frying CPU VRM MOSFETS by doing the unlock. Also do not attempt to OC a 95W cpu on that MB as more than likely you would have the CPU higher than 125W and have the same fried MOSFET problem.

MSI 890GXM-G65 @ Core Unlocking

Hi guys, I'm new here in this forums.
I just want to ask for those who uses their MSI 890GX-G65 for core unlocking.
specs:
AMD Phenom II X2 555BE (4 cores stable)
MSI 890GXM-G65 bios @ 1.6
G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 CL7 (running @ 1333mhz 7-8-7-24 @1.6v)
MSI R5770 Hawk
OCZ ModXstream 600w
My issue is I've unlocked my processor and it's pretty stable, enable ACC. then boot OK.
after some hours of gaming, PC is shutdown. After a few hours, I opened it again and it boot again as X2 yet ACC is enabled.
I have to disable ACC reboot then enable ACC again to unlock it again to x4.
Another issue is OS loading, it's 4x longer in loading than the normal once, my basis in the OS Loading in my PC is after the logo of windows appear, caps,scroll,num lock leds will lit and the mouse then after that it should continue to login screen, but in my case after the lit ups, it hang for a minute(or longer) before continuing to the log in screen. i tried it with all stock no OC, regular OS loading only takes place after reformatting my Computer. after that it returns this kind of case.

I think it's stable enough, btw the x4 to x2 scenario is not always happening. but it has high chances the your next cold boot would you're on X2.
and i do Play games(2 hours minimum), do stress test(1 hour minimum then back to stock), and overclocking(only when gaming). and i think it's really stable.

880GMA-E35 does not detect PCI ethernet adapter

Mainboard 880GMA-E35 does not detect PCI ethernet adapter RealTek RTL8139D.
What is the reason?
I did tests with the operating systems Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit
my Computer:
MSI 880GMA-E35
AMD Athlon II X2 240, 2800 MHz
2 X 4GB Kingston module memory 1066 MHz
XFX Radeon HD 4670

In your manual (page 27) it shows 'Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Frequency.. 'Enabled' turns 'off' clocks in the PCI slot.
Just wondering in an attempt to help.
Good Luck

880GMA-E35 FX : ability to unlock 6 cores of 960T

Hello,
I've just bought a 880GMA-E35 FX and a Phenom X4 960T. Of course I tried to unlock the hidden cores but when enabling the core unlock in the bios, nothing happens, only 4 cores can be manually activated (not 6 as it should be).
In the documentation it's always talked about unlock the 4 cores, is this board not able to unlock the 6 ? or should I wait a future Bios update ? or just My 960T is not unlockable due to defective cores ?
Thanks for your help.
Voleur2poule

Thanks, where did you get this info ? I was not able to find any source on the net ?
The question I have is more to know if this main board is able to perform this unlock from 4 to 6 cores (it seems more designed to unlock 2, 3 to 4 cores but not 6) or not (making the assumption that my processor can be unlocked).
MSI France support did not reply to this question and only says 'there is few chance to find an unlockable processor' which is not my question.
Because if my unlock is not working due to the Mainboard I can exchange it for another model which can handle it, then I will see if I'm lucky or not to unlock my processor (I understood that there is very few chances).
With the "unlock cores" I was expecting to see the 2 additionnal cores in the Bios and have the oportunity to activate them or not (and understood that activating a defective one will lead to a crash). But in my case I only see the 4 cores is it the way it should work ?

MSI 890FX GD70 Core Unlock doesn't POST

I have a 555 Phenom II Black Edition 3.2ghz but using core unlock on the 1.6 bios in MSI 890FX GD70 makes the mobo not post. Is there any solutions to this?
Also I have windows 7 installation problems (won't finish "completing installation") part.

You can try, but as said, if it doesnt work now, it probably never will.
Please read the link provided in my previous post, I explained all there is.
Bottom line, your dualcore works fine, but unlocking doesnt work on it, so your other cores are not functioning right and make your system go bananas, so stick with the dualcore.
If you do update bios, read here for a safe way:

990FXA-GD80 Core Unlocker

I have the MSI 990FXA-GD80 paired up with an AMD Phenom II X2 555 and back when I first used the motherboard I had unlocked the dual core to a quad core. It ran prime 95 stable across all four cores and I used it like that for like four months. Then I uninstalled the motherboard since a buddy of mine was doing a custom case job for me and was to make holes for cable managment. I put the same processor in a MSI 880G-E35 micro board and was unlocked to quad and was in use for about a month. My buddy was done with the mock up and I picked up the board and installed everything back together with the same processor. My computer would turn on or post, it would give a black screen for 3 seconds and cut off. I cleared CMOS and it would post and work fine with default settings. So after changing BIOS settings one by one I narrowed down that when I enable core unlocker causes the computer to fail to post and give a black screen and cut off. So I'm puzzled to why core unlock would work before and now it will not core unlock with absolutly no changes in hardware configuration?

I took out the processor and checked the socket for anything in the holes and looked at the processor pins for any type of material that shouldn't be on it like thermal compound, and everything looked okay. I let it run prime 95 for a few hours and it hasn't failed and when I've been using it no stability problems when I left the core unlocker disabled. So if the board was shorted some how I would think it wouldn't work properly with any BIOS setting rather being dependent on if core unlocker is disabled or enabled to be able to post.

MSI 880GMA-E45 FX support

Hi,
Can you tell me this mainboard MSI 880GMA-E45 will support new FX Bulldozer processors?
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. Is there any confirmed information that this is true?

MSI H61I-E35-B3 Mini ITX and Intel Xeon LGA1155 Cpu ?

Hi,
I've bought MSI H61I-E35-B3 Mini ITX board, it supports LGA1155 processors, core i3 / i5 / i7. My question is - have anyone tested this board with Intel Xeon processor ? For example Intel Xeon E3-1235 3.20GHz LGA1155. I've read in some other Mini ITX LGA 1155 boards descryptions, that they suport this cpu's. Maybe this one can also support it.

It's not in the supported list; http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/H61I-E35--B3-.html#/?div=CPUSupport

I have the speaker plugged in. I don't hear any beeps, and the monitor just shows a black screen

Exactly how do i RMA the board? Can I just send it back from where I purchased it?
Hold up there buddy, dont rma it yet. I have the same board, had the same problem straight out of box. MSI sent out a batch of those boards with the wrong jumper settings. Look on your motherboard near the rear ios inputs. look for a header labeled jusb-pw2. flip that jumper to the top two pins and clear the cmos and you should be good

Do you mean ripping off Buz1 from the motherboard? the buzzer is physically attached to the mobo.

Yes, normally its removable
Quote from: ptsai83 on 06-July-11, 02:27:55

Just checked and yes seems for your board is different, its build-in instead:
In such case: Place a small piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole[over the top of the buzzer/speaker]

890FXA-GD70 core unlocking ability?

Ok, I am about to order a 890FX board. the choice is either the crosshair IV or the MSI 890FXA-GD70. There is a $30 price difference and since I had good experiences with MSI, I wouldn't mind sticking with them.
But there are two features that I am really interested in:
A) Core unlocking
B) External OC'ing such as ROG for Asus where you can hook up your laptop to your computer and OC it from there
Anyone know whether such features are going to be available on the MSI board?

You mentioned that you were about to buy an 890 board and mentioned two brands, one being MSI. You also stated there was a $30 difference. It wasn't difficult to then feel you were asking for recommendations of one over the other. Your post didn't seem as clear as your explanation.
The MSI board page:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2025
Supports unlocking cores.
The Manual:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2025
I don't see anything about overclocking the MSI board using another computer or laptop. Why anyone would do that is beyond me. The best overclocking--the most stable/reliable--method is using the bios and doing so in steps and testing.

Thank you.
Do you need me to upload the bios file? because I believe that the msi website has the 70R archive which made my laptop useless.
you mean you don't want latest version [70S or 70R],
but 70J exactly?

MSI A58M-E35 Motherboard, Theres NO Vista drivers!!

Just bought a MSI A58M-E35 motherboard and Theres NO Vista drivers!!
Win7 drivers dont work, gonna have to exchange for one of your competitors, that makes me very unhappy...
Did msi forget that vista existed?

You are reading it wrong.
We have consumer products, i.e. the versions that consumers buy and which is supported under the Mainstream support.
Then there are Business and Developer products will and they will receive at least 10 years of online self-help support.
Your license will determine which category you fall in.
Quote
Extended Support is not offered for Consumer and Multimedia products.
We have just been through the XP fiasco. Its still supported for the industry, but consumers get no more updates.
Mainstream support ends Jan2015. That's the one that consumers are entitled to.
Maybe so, but I can't see how... Here's another link to the same chart:
http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/default.aspx?LN=en-us&x=8&y=13
Note the heading for the chart:
Phases of the Support Lifecycle for Business, Developer, Consumer and Multimedia Software
To me, that says that the consumer versions of Win7 go to extended support in 2015, in which the only updates people will receive for it until EoL in 2020 are security updates. Exactly the same thing was done with XP, IIRC. The only updates WinXP received for the past several years were security updates and regular updates for the XP version of MSE. Why should Microsoft treat Win7 any different? As you see in the chart, paid-for support is in a different category from security updates. You can get the same paid-for support in Windows 7 in the extended period that you can buy right now for Win7 in the mainstream period. The only service carried forward into the extended period that will continue to be free of charge are the security updates as hotfixes, patches, and feature updates for Win7 will be discontinued when Win7 support shifts into extended support next year.

MSI H67MA-E35-B3 S/PDIF internal connector

A quick question before I decide on buying a new motherboard... Does the MSI H67MA-E35-B3 come with an S/PDIF out connector/bracket for its internal header??
Thanks.

http://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user/PreSaleForm.aspx
If they don't come with one there are other brackets readily available that will work on it. Those S/PDIF brackets rarely come with a MB.

MSI H61MA-E35

Hi,
I've just recently bough a MSI H61MA-E35 and i have a big problem :
The pc works perfectly with only one slot of ram, the slot N°2.
If i had ram on RAM 1 slot, the pc boot few seconds then shut dow then boot infinitly.
I test my ram (2gb * 2) and each one with Memory test, no problem.
I alternatly use one then the other to lauch the PC, no problem as soon as i use only Ram 2 Slot.
If i dare to add ram on Ram 1 the PC boot then shut downi immetidatly after few seconds.
So iam froce to work with 2Gb of Ram instead of my 4Gb. Otherwise, i shoud by a 4gb Ram instead.
Why should i do to change that in BIOS ?
I precise : all others components have been test and are OK.
Thanks for your support.

Please state all your components. See my signature as an example.
The CPU seating is sometimes the cause of RAM slot problems.
It may be that one or more pins of your CPU socket were bent upon installation ?
