MSI Dual Core Centre 2.0.1.0 (Fan Speed ALARM)

Spec:
MSI P965 Neo F v2.0
Intel E6600 Core 2 Duo
XFX-Nvidia 7800gt 256
4 GB 800Mhz Ram
Hi guys,
Anyone here know why the following would happen:
I use the MSI Dual Core Centre 2.0.1.0 for Windows XP... every so once in a while, the fan speed would drop to 0-RPM, and
a very irratating alarm would go off. This started to worry me, and I opened my side panel to look at the CPU Fan when the alarm goes off.
the Fan is turning at high velocity, but the alarm still goes off. Is there something wrong with this software ? or am I doing something wrong.
One minute it reports 2005-RPM, then it just shows 0-RPM, and the alarm goes off. My machine is about 2 months old.
Should I be making changes in the BIOS on the Mobo, to enable support for Dual Core Centre???
Please help...very worried...
By the way "Speed Fan" reports no such alarms or CPU fan speed issues...
What is going on ?

Not sure if this may work bc you reported fanspeed reaching zero.
On my system with 975XPUE, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 always runs below 1K rpm. So I have to use a user profile with Fan Min set about 833 rpm to avoid the annoying alarm.
If you don't find any solution to the reported fanspeed reaching zero, you might be able to at least disable the alarm by setting Fan Min in DCC to 0 rpm. That or uninstall DCC as suggested by most forum users.

Does not support x64 and you are better off without it.

I have the same problem with this following error trying to install the Dual Core Center 2.0.0.6 : "runtime error. Could not call proc".
How can I fix the problem ? I use Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 64.
In other words, MSI Dual Core Center does not support Windows Vista 64. You can try CoreTemp, but again since you have x64 you need to read this: http://www.alcpu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=211

P965Neo-F V2 MSI Dual Core Center Support

Hi.
I brought MSI P965Neo-F v2 MB and MSI 7600 GT graphic card, now i installed Dual Core Center and it shows only Graphic card info, is it some bug? i tryd core center and it showd me alot wrong info, like no cpu fan, sys fan 5k rpm and +12v was 24v. Anyone else having trouble whit DualCoreCenter utility?

all other utilitys lie, 12v shows 24v, 3v shows 0,12, cant be real, and no fans at all:D

MSI DUO CORE CENTRE APPLICATION

Hi all, i would like to try out OC and would like to test with the software first.
However, I cannot click on the D.O.T (Dynamic OC) button in the DUO CORE CENTRE program. Nor was there any UP and DOWN buttons beside the DOT that I can adjust the settings.
I am using AMD 5200, wif latest BIOS installed. VGA is XpertVision 8800GT. My MOBO is MSI K9NGM3.
Explored the application but only settings for the VGA can be tweaked. Understand that Multiplier cannot be OC but FSB should be able to. Nothing can be adjusted under the Mainboard settings.
Could anyone provide some guidelines?
[P.S. Would also like to know how much to OC with my 5200]
Thanks!

125w CPUs are NOT supported by your board. Understand the risk you are taking overclocking such a budget board... You could end up melting the MOSFETs.
5000+/5200+ get to around 3GHz on a guess of 1.375v-1.425v. Beyond usually takes some voltage. You can clear CMOS via CMOS jumper: Clear CMOS Guide
*** But I highly recommend you do not overclock with this board. ***
Thanks for the advice. As i only recently began building my own PC, I didnt chose high end stuff yet.
But a bit of OC also not adviseable? Maybe on stock fan.
I am interested in the X47 board but all things must start from basics first :D

MSI Dual Core Center

Dual Core Center is a great tool but one thing that is annoying me is the FAN speed detector. I didn't plug fan into one of the header so Dual Core Center's alarm will be on all the time. Is there anyway to disable the alarm?

Kudos!
Finally got a program now to monitor my Q6600...and the temps look nice I think:

Tjunction is set to 100°

Can hit 334FSB using MSI Dual Core center....but

While in windows i can hit 334FSB(Everest clocks it @333) yet when i go to the BIOS and try to set it up in there its hit and miss when i boot into windows
I have not overclocked anything for years so maybe i am a little rusty....could some one give me some guidance.

Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with the overclocking abilities of your particular motherboard but one thing jumps out at me ...
Your memory is 533 and you are running your system at FSB 334
That means you are running your memory at 334 x 2 (double rate) = 668
So your memory may hold you back from going much higher, the board and chip should not have a problem going higher..
If you are able to manually set the timings for your memory in the bios, try relaxing them to 5-5-5-15, maybe that will allow you to raise your FSB a bit more...

P6NGM and MSI Dual Core Center - can't change FSB

I'm running Vista Business 32. Just installed a P6NGM with a E6750 and updated all the MSI utilities to current version - but I can't change the FSB anywhere. I can't click the "D.O.T." button on the main menu, and there are no arrows near it. In the advanced screen, the FSB +/- buttons are grayed out. How do I enable its FSB overclocking?
Thanks

Are you using the latest Version of DCC?
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1330
I downloaded and installed this version -- but, as the tool does not appear to have an "About" box that gives its version, I can't really confirm that it is indeed the latest one.

MSI R9 270X Hawk vs Gaming Edition IDLE FAN SPEED

Hello,
Just wondering, I've seen in a review that the Hawk can achieve in idle a 700 rpm.
I'd like to ask if this 700 rpm in idle is true and what percentage? (18% maybe?)
And what about the Gaming Edition, what percentage can achieve in idle and what rpm?
Thanks in advance

MSI P35 NEO & dual core center problem

hi, i have a problem with my motherboard msi, Bios 1.2 and the dual core center 2.0.0.8 ,since days ago, the msi dual core center 2.0.0.8 so many times shows fan speeds alerts false alarms from the cpe temp, for that reason, i upgraded the appl to 2.0.1.6 ( the last),i set the oc level to 25% like with the older version, but time later the pc crash and put a black crash screen and it dont let me to overclock my cpu , i get back to 2.0.0.8 but the fan alarm dont stop, and i dont know if the newer version fix this problem
any help?

right, but i like to use msi dual core center, because i dont like to have the pc overclocked all the time, anyother suggestion for this?
thanks for the reply

Dual Core Center hates me

My MSI P965 Platinum woes continue
Firstly, my DVD burner wouldn't work properly until I flashed the BIOS. How can you ship a motherboard where something a simple as the IDE channel doesn't work properly. Looking at the number of threads here where the JMicron chip was the issue I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet.
Secondly, I finally got my HHD speeds back to normal after installing my system with my SATA ports set to RAID and the RAID drivers (even though I'm not using RAID). Today though I am experiencing random system freezing and even a reboot.
Now my latest headache is with the Dual Core Center that just won't work. And I do have the .NET 3 Framework installed. It installs fine, but when I try run it crashes and says DCC has encountered an error and needs to shutdown.

BTW - why does the DCC want to install itself in my ATI driver folder ?
This IS the most frustrating motherboard I've ever used. And I've used a lot

My question would be why are you using Dual Core Centre at all?
* it is well know that it is a poor utility
* Overclocking better off done in the bios.
* Use Coretemp or SIV 3.14 for monitoring temps, and CPU-Z.

DKA790GX Platinum, have problem with changing FSB in Dual Core Center

Hello guys, freshblood is here,
I change fsb in Dual core center, but unfort. core temp and CPUZ don't reflect any changes.

I agree. The BIOS gives you better control with better options.

Dumb MSI Dual Core Center. It is not the best tool ever developed. Use the BIOS for overclocking your system.

Core Centre 1.5.80

Installed the latest version of MSI's Core Centre, v1.5.80, think it's only been out a few days, but already I'm having the same error message over & over again about a "Hardware Monitor" failing to load or something. It pops up twice and then reboots itself whenever I turn on my PC. Once it's rebooted it work's fine but it clearly isn't working properly. I've e-mailed MSI UK & MSI.com but so far the only response I got back was from the UK and all they said was to download the latest version, the very version I was e-mailing them about. Used MSCONFIG to disable at startup but it's a pain in the butt starting it manually everytime I use my PC. Any help/constructive suggestions would really be appreciated.

I got the same problem after defragmenting my harddrive. The defragmenter optimize winxp startup/boot which causes I think core center to load before the hardware monitor driver.
The only solution at the moment is to remove core center from the startup folder and start it manually.
OR you could try to add the following line 'start /belownormal \corecenter.exe' in the shortcut for core center which is in the startup folder.
This will force core center to start after all normal prio apps have started and by that time the hardware monitor driver should have been loaded.

[solved] Dual Core Center alarm sound inconsistency

Hey,
My Dual Core Center sounds an alarm since my CPU fan is running too slow (below 1000 rpm). Fair enough. When selecting User Settings and a profile with a lower rpm border value the alarm goes away, but when restarting it sometimes return to the Default profile making the alarm come back.
How do I permanently remove this alarm, or at least make the user profile run at every startup?
No wonder everyone discards the DualCoreCenter utility.
Cheers!

Browse through the MSI/Dual Core Center folder and look for a configuration file named HW.INI. Open it with an editor tool or wordpad and you should see about this (click on the picture to enlarge it):
To turn off the alarm permanently, "SOUNDWARNING" has to be set to "SOUNDWARNING=0". You can also keep the sound alarm enabled (=1) and lower the threshold value for the CPU FAN ("FAN_LOWER_LIMIT") from "1000" to 700 or whatever works best for you.

Dual Core Center displaying wrong CPU clock speed

Hi,
I've got the 965 Platinum board and I have overclocked my E6300 Allendale to 2.331ghz (from 1.86ghz). My problem is that the MSI Dual Core Center is showing my CPU as being clocked at 2.997mhz. It seems to think that, because I've upped the FSB to 333mhz, I must have a CPU with a multiplier of 9 instead of the 7 of the E6300.
If Dual Core Center is not reading the CPU clock correctly how can I trust that it's reading the temperature right (which is really the only reason Ihave it loaded at all). I know the CPU is only set at 2.331 because the BIOS gets it right, System Properties gets it right and Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool gets it right. It's only the Dual Core Center that gets it wrong.

Make sure you are using the newest version of DCC.
Other than that, DCC might not be the best tool to monitor your system.

To monitor core tempertatures use Coretemp: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/
