MSI 915p Thoughts & ram questions

Hi All,
I'm thinking of buying one of MSI 915P neo2 Platinum motherboards, but i have a couple of questions. Firstly i'm having dificulty finding reviews for this mobo, so i've come here to see what you think of it (unbiased of course). Secondly i'm confused over what type of RAM it supports, some parts sellers list PC4200 others PC4300, i'm even seeing the newer PC5300 being mentioned. And finally what the difference between PC4200 & PC4300.
Thanks inadvance
Ian P.

MSI KT3 ULTRA2 - RAM question

Hi,
I just bought MSI KT3 ULTRA2 -Sound Motherboard
and for the RAM, I want to buy:
TOSHIBA 1.0GB ECC Registered DDR SDRAM DIMM (Toshiba model: THMD1GE0SB80 (PC1600) 128Mx72)
(for detail of the RAM, please read at: http://www.toshiba.com/taec/components/Datasheet/THMD1GE0SBxx-010702.pdf )
Do you guys know if that RAM is supported by MSI KT3 ULTRA2?
Thanks a lot

MSI Z77a-gd55 ram question

Hello, I'm currently using the z77a-gd55 w/ my i5 3570k. I hear a lot of people running into ram upgrade problems (not from your mb in particular, but in general).
I'm wondering how well will this board work with 4 x 4 gb sticks, because I'm currently running on 2 x 4gb stick and I get the "warning low ram please close x programs" too often, so I want to upgrade to 4 x 4gb setup.
I think i'm currently using this ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
But there seems to be a few other variations of that stick that looks exactly the same, but i just know for sure its 2 x 4gb G.Skill Ripjaws set.
Will buying another of that kit work?, and is there anything I should watch out for?
edit: also my current OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Corsair ram usually works fine, 8gb x 2 would be better.
What program are you using that needs so much ram. 8GB is generally overkill as it is.
A quick look at my resource manages shows me I am currently using 3gb.
EDIT:
This is what I buy for my personal computers:

VERY SPECIFIC RAM QUESTION (not answered in prior topics)

I have a very specific RAM question. I've been pouring through the discussions and I see TONS of stuff about the proper way to upgrade RAM. I've done that before without incident, but here is my dilemma:
I'm using the 3.0Ghz, 8-core, MP currently with 8GB of the 667Mhz RAM (8x1GB). The memory is all matched from OWC and I have had no problems.
I just bought 16GB of new RAM from OWC (4x4GB).
I'm going to remove all 8 of the current 1GB DIMM's, and place two of the 4GB DIMM's in slots 1 & 2 on riser A, and two of the 4GB DIMM's in slots 1 & 2 on riser B. That will give me 16GB's in matched pairs on slots 1 & 2 of both riser A and B.
My question is this: Should I install two of my old 1GB DIMM's in slots 3/4 of riser A, and two of the old 1GB DIMM's in slots 3/4 of riser B (for a total of 20GB's)?
I've read that having all 8 slots filled = better performance but I'm not sure the mix of 4GB DIMM's and 1GB DIMM's.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks So Much,
Tom

Optimally you want matched quads in each Riser. However, Bare Feats did some memory benchmarks that you might wish to read regarding memory performance versus different configurations. As for proper installation see the following:

Now i have updated my bios to the 1.9 version, the latest available, before that, the mobo would not accept double sided DDR1, and after the update the problem persists, and i think one of the ram slots is not working properly , beacause it won't accept DDR1 single or double sided.
Does the latest bios-update contain previous versions?
Please help me , i want to upgrade my RAM and i can't find single sided memorys anywhere . Thank you in advance.

What's the exact problem ?
you have one stick of ram and the system fails to boot with it ?
or you added ram and the system fails to boot ? or does not detect the extra ram ? ...

HP dv9629ca Laptop (Ram Question)

Here is a RAM question. The Laptop had 2 one Gigabyte SO-DIMMs with them both installed the PC would not boot. the lights would come on but the screen remained black. I thought it was a RAM problem since when I would only put in a single stick of RAM the computer Booted no problem. I figured the one ram was BAD. Yet when i bought a 2GB SO-DIMM and added it to the 1GB already inside the computer wouldn't boot just like before. so I removed both rams and Put the 2GB stick in where the other was working and It shows 2GB now. I Know the Laptop maxes out at 4GB of RAM with a 64bit version of Windows installed. Is it possible to find a 4GB SO-DIMM and put it into the Slot that works or will it only accept a maximum of 2GB per Slot?
Laptop Details
AT newegg.ca they have a Single SO-DIMM that is 4GB the Laptop Max is 4GB. Not sure if it would read 4GB coming from a single SO-DIMM

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion dv9629ca Notebook Computer and here is the HP Pavilion dv9500, dv9600, and dv9700 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer. Both pieces of information indicate that 4GB (2 X 2GB) is the maximum. 2GB is the largest size supported in each slot.
You may wish to clean the slots or reseat the memory... you may also want to inspect the slots for debris or bent contacts.
Please send KUDOs

Thoughts and questions on FCserver

Here are some thoughts and questions I have on FCserver.
Archiving
Only a paragraph on archiving in the manual, wow any media assets management system has to have more to do with archiving.
Our clips are in MXF (P2) format until Log & Transfer places MOV file in capture scratch folder.
As far as I can tell just copying the MXF files (Contents folder and LASTCLIP file) won't be possible or even desirable. This means a edit/ingest station has to go through the process of logging and ingesting the files. So again FCserver won't be able to handle all the archiving because logging will only take the "good" shots.
*Do you need/want all clips in FCserver?*
No. We have a pretty high shoot ratio (recored/used) so I don't want to have all the junk cataloged.
*Do you need all clips and other assets to be archived.*
Yes. Which means that archiving can't be handed only by FCserver (if at all).
I'm just not seeing much on archiving with FCserver.
Editing
At this point my workflow does not require the sharing of the primary representation (original file).
The same station that logs & transfers files into the capture scratch folder is the edit station were the project is edited and finished. There is no need to move the primary representation (original file) so the time it takes to upload the files to FCserver is wasted. We only need thumbnails/proxies for review. That brings me to my next question.
*Is edit-in-place the solution for me?*
I'm not sure I understand the devices setup information. Can I just use the capture scratch folder of the an edit station as the device location for the primary representation (original file)? If so, I could then set some other hard drive on another computer (the one running FCserver) to hold the thumbnails and proxies. Is that right?
And in the future, if it becomes needed, can I then move the primary representation device to some other drive? How would that effect the catalog?

*Do sequences show in FCserver under FCP Project file or do you have to create a MOV file to be able to watch/review it?*
It's my understanding that sequences are listed under the assets of a FCP project file, but the playing of a sequence would not likely work unless all effects have been rendered and uploaded (and in my case the primary representation uploaded). So seems that any review of a sequence would take less time if I just made a review version locally (on edit station) and then uploaded that.
*Does the FCserver need a static IP?*
I can see how you can find the FCserver on a LAN without the IP but if you want off-site viewers I'm assuming you need to have the FCserver setup with a static IP?
Thank you all for your input.

Just some answeres to all the easy things, have not enough time right now...
Archiving:
Your way is one way. You can also use the P2CMS from Panasonic with its plugin to access MXF files directly or use another quicktime component, e.g. this one described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1477238&tstart=0
*Editing/Edit in place*
Edit in Place works only for Xsan volumes. All other volumes (internal and external drives, network attached storage) need to cache the files.
Viewing
Sequences only show up as sequence icons but you cannot play them back due to Final Cut Server has no FCP engine build in. You need to render out quicktime, at least as reference movie.
*Static IP*
Yes, you need an IP, but you get this by connecting to the net via your service provider. If you want to get a static IP, perfect. But if not you could use services like www.dyndns.org to get a name attached to your dynamic IP. This can be updated manually or via your router etc.

MSI 915p Neo2 FR (MS7028 1.0B) instability HELP

I have a rig setup for 12 mths and everything is working fine at that pt. This month, I reinstall the same Window XP Pro as a clean start with the same drivers and bios. And after running for a couple of days, it start to become unstable and randomly restart it self. In many cases, the restart will not prompt the POST non the usual boot up screen. I tried reflash the bios with the same latest AMI 3.6 and seperate install windows again..... and it didn't help. Tried fail safe mode and optimized mode in bios... no improvement. No hardware was changed non remove during the entire usage. I couldn't figure what went wrong??......
I search the forum and found a couple of users have similar issues but no solutions was given. I eliminated shorting of PSU since I didn't remove anything or damage my PSU or my memory is giving problems since it works great 12 mths before.
My setup as follows:
Intel 3.0Ghz
MSI 915p Neo 2 FR (MS 7028 v1.0B)
Bios : AMI 3.6 (same when I bought it and reflash)
Raid Disabled
2 x 512MB kingston DDR 533Mhz (Occupying Dimm 1 & 3)
Leadtek Geforce 6600E - PCIE
LG DVD Writer
Maxtor 160G SATA Harddisk
CoolMaster PSU (RS-430W-PMAR)
OS: Window XP Pro SP 2
Any ideas will be great.....

Can you boot the computer from a floppy straight to DOS and let it sit for awhile and see if it still does it. If it does then I suggest you try what Maesus said.

[915 Series] MSI 915P 7058 Power On Problems

We have 11 identical computers.
MSI 915P 3.0 GHz P4 530J
1GB DDR2 400 (2x512)
160 GB Seagate SATA
nVidia 6600 PCX 128 MB
Antec case w/ 350W PS
The PS is only a has a 20 pin ATX plug where the board accepts 20 or 24.
BIOS versions 1.6 - 1.8(latest version)
Latest chipset driver also.
We have been getting feedback from the users that when booting, especially in the morning, they fail. By this I mean the fans start, the power led is on and the hd led is on for a while. But there is no video, the boot sequence never happens, and the os does not load. To fix the problem, usually holding the power switch for >4sec, and then powering the computer on again works. The reset also works to get past the failure. Pushing the power button for <4 sec does not work.
We have tried the latest versions of the BIOS, no luck. We are currently collecting the 4 led POST message from the back of the computer each time there is a problem.
I checked for the USB open channel problem. The 10 pin connectors for the front and rear usb do not have the 10th pin grounded which has caused usb problems.
All other connections look OK. The only other alert is that the power supply is the 20 pin and the mobo support 20 or 24. Still it is an Antec 350W PS with 21A at +12V.
Any help would be great.
Thanks-
onesquin

A user is going to be gone tomorrow and we are going to try an antec 450W PSU in one of the machines. That was our next step too. I was hoping for something else as this fix is costly and time consuming.
We also tested the the gray wire on the power supply to make sure that it was always returning +5V. We were able to produce the failure and the gray was at +5V. We then grounded it and the computer would not start.
Maybe we just need a bigger PSU, but the manual only calls for a 350W, 18A on +12V.
Sorry for the double post... Composed the original message over 2 days and could not find it. Then it was there after my second post.
Thanks-
scott

I also bought 1 from ebay last month and when I put it on my gt60, it instantly booted. No problem during installation. i just removed the gpu bracket at the back and all is well.. The card is a beast and you must tame it's heat though.. anyways I hope you solved your problem too.

MSI 915P/G Combo (MS-7058) Boot Issues

We have two production MSI 915P/G Combo (MS-7058) boards that for every 100 cold boots there is at least one cold boot that the system will hang. We tried many ATI PCIE graphics cards and even an Nvidia board with the same results. We tried toggling many bios settings to see if it will help but the problem still exists.
We believe this issue is solely related to the motherboard.
We are wondering if there has been any other members in the community that have seen this boot problem with this PCIE motherboard?? ..and what you did to fix it?
Thanks.
Reply to thread only.

QTec PSU are well known craps around the hardware places. Imagine a 550watts with only 18A on +12v... Try placing it side by side with another 550watts like Antec or Enermax, even Thermaltake has better specs amps.
Current Prescotts CPUs are well known Power buggers and heat buggers even that ha applied to the Prescott based Celeron D CPUs. Around 18A on +12v is just entry for Northwood B and C, and for Prescotts, around 20A on +12v is just the bare minimum to run just stable.
My current system used to run good on a +12v @ 18A, +5v @ 40A, +3.3v @ 20A PSU but craps up after 18 months when I threw in a FX5950Ultra, so instead of buying back a similar PSU, I opt for a more poweful PSU(Enermax Noisetaker 470w PFC2.0) that can last me long even if I'm using the LGA 775s, Socket T CPUs.

MSI Neo2 FX, AMD 939 RAM question

Hi to all,
I have an old Athlon 64 on the MSI Neo2 FX with the nvidia chipset.
According to the MB manual, I could install 4 DIMM (Double sided) and have a DDR333, Dual Channel.
But, in my case, I have 4 DIMMS (Double sided), which BIOS POST reports that runs at 200Mhz, not 333, in dual channel 128bit mode.
BIOS options, seems not to change and I would not like to change the FSB from 200 to 333.
Any ideas?

Why is it fine?,
Yes, your maths are OK. But:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K8N-Neo2-FX.html#?div=Detail
Look at the table of the details (it's the same as in my manual).
According to that table, my RAM configuration should not be 400Mhz, but 333Mhz.
And something else:
The DIMMS are 2 Kingston and 2 Corsair. All modules have the same click speeds and are double sided. So, should I enter them as:
Kingston (Green), Corsair (purple), Kingston (Green), Corsair (Purple), or as:
Kingston (Green), Kingston (Purple), Corsair(Green), Corsair (Purple)
