Msi 890GXM-G65 overclocking?

BIOS 1.6,
XP 32-bit
AMD 1090T 3.2ghz
msi GTX460 Twin Frozr II
4gb DDR-1333
I have a number of these machines, but I want to overclock the one on my desk for Folding At Home.
The dip-switch overclocking does work, and is reported by the O/S and the BIOS correctly. It has huge fans, CPU runs very cool (34°C max at sustained 100% load) at 3520mhz (+10%, 220 base clock) so I believe I can run it up more. It has been stable at these settings running 100% 24/7 for two weeks straight.
Problems:
The msi Control Center application has no effect whatsoever on actual speed or voltage. Validated through benchmarking.
Within the BIOS, I cannot select base CPU clock or voltage to adjust them, they are grayed out. I can adjust the multiplier, but it becomes unstable at all multipliers past 16x (stock).
I want to increase voltage 10%, then try to get it stable at 20% base clock boost (3.8ghz)
What path should I take to get control over the voltage and base clock?
Thanks in advance.

What have you done so far in attempts to increase voltage and bclk?
Will or are you folding GPU also and if so what do you have the clock speed set to on it?
Tried BIOS, msi Control Panel, AMD Overdrive. Folding with msi GTX460 at 900mhz base, 1800mhz memory, 1.087v, very stable = ~14.5k PPD.
I ended up doing a BIOS reset, then VOILA, I can change volts and base again. Must be a bug in the BIOS.
Turned up to 220 base, 18x multiply, 10% up on volts. Running Kingston DDR3-1333 at 10% overclock stable. 3.96 ghz.
Seems to all be working fine (famous last words), I'll let it churn and burn over the weekend. Current SMP + GPU pairing is 27.5k PPD. CPU temp is now 40°C, GPU is 40°C as well.
Turning on GPU makes the SMP take a big hit. It goes from 3:30 TPF (6076) up to 4:20 with the GPU running in tandem. Might think of turning off one core?

MSI 890GXM-G65 Overclocking Problems

I have:
MSI 890GXM-G65 motherboard
4 GB OCZ PC3-16000 Platinum Edition memory (OCZ3P20004GK) runs at 1.95v and 2000 MHZ at 9-9-9-30
Sapphire 5870 1 GB video Card
AMD 955 Processor (Black Edition that runs at 3.2 GHZ)
Without anything else overclocked I cant even raise my front side bus to 204 without it not posting at 16 multiplier. 203 post fine. I upgraded Bios to 1.B.
I have several other questions, but this is the first concern I have and that I would I like to address. Hope my motherboard is not not "broken". This is mainly just a thread starter and will get into more overclocking questions/problems later one...after addressing this issue.

Here are my screenshots:
Im sorry but I made a mistake. Before I use the Control Center my Ram speed is around 1666 instead of 1706. I get 1706 after I up the Front Side Bus in Control Center to 256. Hope this didnt confuse any.
As far as the Hyper Transport speeds. I am getting as you can see in the mid 2500's. The Box and website show 2600. So is this a misprint because you would think that 2600 would be out of the box instead of an overclock?
My 12 volt rail is 70 amp. I am using the 850 watt Kingwin MK Power Power Supply.
And again another question that really hasnt been answered yet. If I can overclock on the software side of things (Control Center) should't I be able to overclock on the hardware side as in bios. For example I am getting 250 FSB on Bios, but I can only get up to 256 in Control Center. You would think that if it works in Control Center is should work in Bios. And this is a very Stable FSB too (after testing with 3dMark etc.)

MSI 890GXM-G65 Thuban Issues

Hi,
Sorry if I post this in the wrong section.
I've been using v1.0 original bios for MSI 890GXM-G65 board without any problems.
Recently I tried updating to v1.2 to enable support for X6 1055T as stated in the link below.
My cpu code is HDT55TFBK6DGR which is the 125W version and requires v1.2 bios.
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=2012&maincat_no=1#menu
I am unable to turn off Cool'n'Quiet feature for the Thuban core.
Enabling or disabling the setting in BIOS has no effect at all.
Multipliers keep dropping to x4 from the stock x14.
I also could not find any setting in BIOS to switch off Turbo Core.
I posted the issues in detail here:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=45130922&postcount=66
I found out that the MSI 790FX-GD70 also do not have such a feature to disable Turbo Core.
In comparison, the Biostar TA890GXE has that setting in its BIOS so this is not a specific issue for 890G-based boards.
Lastly, I could not get CPU-Z (or any other programs for that matter) to display accurate readings of the cpu vcore (set in BIOS).
Will MSI be releasing a new BIOS soon to fix these issues ?
Thanks.

Ah, that explains it. How's that Thuban CPU running at stock levels compared to other Quad-cores (if you have had any)?
Actually that hardwarezone link in my first post goes to my mini review of the X6 1055T.
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=2731901
Unfortunately I only have synthetic benchmarks to compare the results with.
This is my very FIRST phenom chip from AMD.
The only quad I ever tried was the Intel Q6600 (used for 1-mth) before sticking to 2-core processors ever since. LOL!

I don't see a bios update yet for the 790FX-GD70. This mb I am running is my brothers...haha. I am waiting for the 890FX-GD70.
One of our local overclocker "ridney" is using the X6 1055T on MSI 790FX-GD70 with the latest 1.11b1 bios.
He has the same cpu batch as me but he is on water. I'm not willing to go >1.52V on air for this hexacore chip (not yet anyway).
He had posted all his OC'ing @ http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=249606
The screenshot posted (towards bottom of page) @ https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=136443.0 was his!!
The reason I posted my inquiry here is because I thought there would be newer (beta) bios for the 890GXM-G65 which MAY allow me to disable turbo core.

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.

Pls help MSI 890GXM-G65

tomorrow i buy MSI 890GXM-G65 and AMD Phenom II X4 840 AM3 3.2GHz 2MB Cache 45nm HDX840WFGMBOX

I have one in my 890FXA-GD70 board and it works fine (not on CPU support list for my board too, I notice), don't see why it shouldn't work in your 890GXM-G65 board also.

Help - MSi 890GXM-G65 error

Hello
New build with MSi 890GXM-G65 and AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition was working perfectly for a few hours.
I added some legacy sata drives and for some reason I can't get to the BIOS menu, I just get 1 beep and a screen of red letters.
screen shot here - if you open that pic icon in a new tab
I'm not sure how to even start in terms of trouble shooting.
any guidance would be so appreciated,.

MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board help

Hi, need some major help. I just got a MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board / AMD Phenom II X6 processor. Installed it in the Antec Fusion Micro ATX case and the fans spin, seems like everything is powering but no video from the onboard video. I’m using a corsair vx 550 powersupply. No matter what I try I can get anything on the monitor. Is this a grounding issue? Powersupply not good enough? I just tried taking the memory out to see if it would beep and nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

MSI 890GXM-G65 Black Screen

Hey guys, new member, but Ive been a longtime reader.
I have the MSI 890GXM-G65 motherboard with the following other components:
AMD X4 820 CPU
8GB (4x2GB DDR3 1333) ram
1TB Western Digital
Antec High Current 400W PSU
DVDRW
I have a black screen on the PC when it boots. The monitor doesn't turn on at all. I removed all peripherals except CPU, motherboard, ram and power supply.
Here's what I have tried:
1. Replaced RAM with other known working ram
2. Tried one stick in each of the 4 slots individually.
3. Tried a different power supply.
4. Installed a PCI express video card.
5. Switched CPUS to an AMD B73 CPU
6. Tried VGA, DVI and HDMI on the motherboard output.
None of these things have worked. The CPU fan spins at what appears to be full speed, all four blue LEDs are on, and there is no video.
Do you have any suggestions as to what I can do?

It isn't a new build. It was working before with these exact specs for about a year. This is my HTPC, so I don't use it too often, last used a week ago. I turned it on today and got nothing. So I've been replacing every part I can.
Forgot to mention that I also cleared the CMOS, which did nothing.

MSI 890GXM-G65 Zosma Core CPU 960T support

Hey guys, i picked up AMD Phenom x4 960T proccy - HD96ZTWFK4DGR ,ZOSMA core, was wondering if my board will support it. In the webpage of CPU support i see Phenom II X4 Zosma HD840TWFK4DGR 840T is supported. Please do let me know.

It may work if you try or you could wait for someone with the same CPU to post and let you know. Probably quicker to contact MSI to check with them as they should be able to tell you. >>How to contact MSI.<<

MOVED: Msi 890gxm g65

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=150583.0

From MB description on MSI website:
Slots
• PCI_E1 slot with x16 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
• PCI_E2 slot with x8 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
- When 2 PCI Express x16 slots are all installed, the PCIE x 16 lanes will auto arrange form x16/ x0 to x8/ x8. Do not use PCI_E2 slot when only one PCI Express x16 card is installed.
• 1 PCI Express x1 slot
• 1 PCI slot, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface.
I will now download the manual and see what it says.
Edit: Yup, they seem to have neglected that bit of information in the manual.

MSI 890GXM-G65

Hi to you all.
Is it possible to put 2 raid controllers in the 2 pci-e ports at the same time. ( two pci-e x4 ) ?
And use the igp for the monitor.
Raidcontroller 2x Highpoint RocketRAID 2680. http://highpoint-tech.com/USA/rr2680.htm
Thanks for youre reply

Fredrick....
The cards will fit....but they need to share a common firmware else it will FAIL.
Therefor, not knowing if they do, I say NO, as i can't answer the question with a YES.
Also, they will probably fight with the onboard-RAID if used.
There is no way to say if it will work, insert them and find out, that's the only answer that can be given.
Trust me, RAID-controllers are something else....they fail more than they work, I have been fighting with them too many times.
But the last years I got smart, simply avoid cards that do raid and let software do the raid....works well and no firmware/BIOS hassles, on top, works with any controller (also without extra firmware!)

890GXM-G65 windows 7 Setup - Reboot Loop

This is wierd.
I have:
MSI 890GXM-G65
AMD Phenom II 955BE
Geil 2x2Gb DDR3 1333 (Model GV34GB1333C7DC)
Pioneer DVR-218BLBK
WD Caviar Black 1TB Sata 6.0Gb/s HD
New self-build. Everything is installed, Bios reset, Bios configured (ver1.6). Auto Settings, no overclocking.
I try to install Windows 7 x86 from DVD or USB. It goes through the first Black and White window extracting files, then it proceeds to the first 'Starting Windows' and reboots. Tried Safe mode, and it fails on DISK.sys and reboots everytime.
I have checked all settings in the bios, tried disabling C&Q, disconnected the DVD and tried from just USB. Replaced Sata cables, tried different Sata ports. Tried with 1 DDR3 module. Same result.
I did a google and found some people had issues with their PSU, they replced it and resolved the issue, however my PSU is a cheapo 500w, not the same as mentioned by other people.
Anyone have a solution for reboots caused by DISK.SYS during install?

There is no such board [890GXM-GD65]

890GXM G65 Phenom II X6 BIOS query

Hi. I didn't get the required information from the sticky regarding thuban support for the above mentioned board, so I've created a new thread. I have a plan of buying AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor and MSI 890GXM G65 board. The board at the time of release didn't have the support for thubans, so most probably I'd need to get a BIOS update for the installation of the thuban CPU. My question is, Will it boot with the thuban CPU even without the bios update? I'm asking this because I don't have an old AMD CPU to carry out the BIOS update process. If it doesn't boot, the it's a complete waste of money. Thanks in advance...

I was afraid of this combo but my results were fine. I bought the combo at Frys and it came with bios version 1.4 and booted and worked fine through windows, but it would not recognize cpu speed accurately after overclock( had nothing to do with amd cool feauture) After 1.6 bios update its recognized flawlessly. You shouldnt need to have another processor to do a bios update,it should still allow you to boot to bios.
This is guide i followed to flash bios successfully with bootable usb

got everything up and running mine came with bios ver 1.6 used m-flash to flash to ver 1.8 had no problems only thing i don't like is the lan wont run at 1gbps to my netgear wnce2001 even if i select 1gb full it wont even switch from 100mb.
This is a different issue ,you should open another thread.
Anyway you can t get 1000M if the switch in the router can t do 1000.
Is the router gigabit on the LAN ports?The router will limit you.
