MSI Eclipse Memory Question

Hi guys
Do you guys know if this memory is compatible with the MSI Eclipse board, i can get it for a very good price, as most suppliers here in (South africa) dont even know about triple channel kits...
Thanks for your advice

Ye im stuck between the 1600 kit or the 1333 kit, is the a big difference in performance...
DDR3-1600 is about 4-6% faster than DDR3-1333 (1-2 FPS more in games ... )

And for gaming alone, would 3 gig be enough?
More than enough.

MSI 94M890ML Memory Question

I've been reading the 94M890ML at the MSI website and had stumbled about the memory "problem". Before I take the plunge into MSI territory, I have to ask a question. Will this setup work without any headaches?
MSI 94M890ML
Intel Celeron D 326
Kingston 512MB or 256MB PC667 DDR2
Yes. I chose a C2D capable mobo so I can upgrade it easily just in case.

right..

MSI 865PE Memory Question

Hi All,
I have seen around the board, many posts about using 4 mem sticks on the board. I see that people say that they have troubles if they use 4 sticks of memory on the 865PE mobo. Is there a definite answer for this?
I'm asking as I'd like to put 4 512Mb (400MHz) sticks in this motherboard.
Can anybody advise ?
Thanks

Well you see. you have a reason to want more Ram. Don't misunderstand. All I'm saying is that it is a known issue that 4 sticks of Ram don't always post. It may only be a small percentage of the total boards manufactured but this being a HELP forum, not many come here to tell us about stuff that works as they expected.

MSI eclipse plus startup problem

Hi,
I have the MSI eclipse plus motherboard, but I have a strange startup problem.
Sometimes my computer fails to start up. When I try again sometimes it works fine. (without changing any hardware or software configuration)
The Eclipse plus has a small D-led2 panel that shows information about the startup phases.
When my startup fails, the panel mentions: CPU init. And the error Code is FF (this means: power on and first initialize CPU)
(This is the phase just before DDR init).
So the startup fails in a very early stage of the startup process, (before I can access my bios)
When the start up fails, I have to disconnect the power cable, reconnect and try to start again. This is a very uncomfortable situation.
I have the latest BIOS version 21/04/2009 V1.0
I tried the fail-save default options in the bios.
My processor is i7 940
RAM: OCZ DDR3 . 6 pieces of 2GB. 1600Mhz (3 dual channel kits)
Power supply: Corsair 1000Watt
I hope somebody can help me.
Thanks in advance

Please note that the memory controller was moved into the CPU with the i7 - it is no longer part of motherboard chipset (MCH). You're not the first and probably won't be the last to buy the wrong type of DDR3 memory for your i7 rig. People, before you buy; check if the memory you are handing money over for is actually suitable for your CPU. Simple really as they will state they are i7 compatible. The i7 has a recommended maximum voltage of 1.65V for the integrated memory controller, 1.9V is probably a dangerous voltage to set it to (if the BIOS even allows it). To quote the OCZ FAQ:
Quote
The memory supply voltage also powers the receivers and senders on the memory controller with a voltage plane known as VDDQ. Because the Corei7 is manufactured on a 45 nm node, the logic is sensitive to overvoltage and Intel defines the upper safe limit for the Core i7 as 1.65V.
So to answer your question:
Quote
I still have one question: What do I risk with my DDR3 memory that is standard at 1.9V
More than likely, the integrity of the i7 940 itself. You have to ask yourself, "What's cheaper to replace... the RAM or the CPU?" The answer should be simple enough to work out for the average user.
I'd be taking the RAM back if at all possible and exchange/upgrade it for an i7 compatible kit (which will be three/six stick tri-channel, not two/four sticks dual-channel) designed to operate within the 1.5V~1.65V recommended voltage range. The OCZ equivalent (comparing what you currently have) to what you want would be this range.

MSI Eclipse with 12gb ram only posting 8gb (and other issues)

I have several issues with my eclipse motherboard, the first problem has to do with RAM Dimm slot's AO, A1.
PROBLEM 1
A little back story on the situation, earlier today i adjusted my green power genie to max power cooling - it down clocked the voltage for the ram and cpu. after i installed some security updates for windows 7 i powered off the PC. I turned my computer back on 30 minutes later, i noticed a weird bios error message "previous overclock has failed, please reset your setting to default". I then reset the CMOS on the motherboard to undo the previous settings. I booted the PC up for a second time, then noticed the post screen with my system specs, had my ram at 8GB when i had 12GB installed. I then went into the bios(1.b)and pressed F5 to view my Ram total. It showed four slots posting 2gb per dimm except A0, A1.
I went through the normal troubleshooting (removing the cards and HDD's, reseating ram in different dimm slots.. etc)
I remove all ram except one 2gb stick. i reinstalled the 2gb stick in the black dimm a0 slot and booted the system. it will power on, stays on for a minute and half then power cycle(reboot over and over). i then tired 1GB stick in the A0 slot, same problem. The system with boot in the other two black slots (B0, C0). the same problem is with the blue A1 slot as well.
Could it be a bad board that i have? or is there something i'm missing.
PROBLEM 2
I have four cards that i want to use on my system, Two HD5770's in crossfire, my sound blaster XFI Fatl1ty Champion in the first (PCI-E x1 slot) and my TV tuner in the first PCI x8 slot. the problem is getting them all to work at the same time. if i install all of them together the system will not get past the black windows screen(it freezes). if i use a combination of the three, the system will boot up with no problem.
Anybody in the forums with an eclipse able to use four cards and crossfire at the same time?
Could i have a bad motherboard?

Have you tested each of them individually? What are you setting the RAM speed & timings at? Unless your running Photoshop or similar heavy apps., 12G RAM is a negative IMHO.
nothing really heavy, but i do multi-task and have a lot of apps/ games/ benchmarking going on at once. firefox uses a lot of ram on its own. i have around five sets of 3 (2 sets 6gb and 3 sets of 3gb) and none of them work in the a1, a0 dimm slots. the memory controller probably burned out. i dont see how that can happen as i dont overclock regularly.

Other thoughts. What is the current bios version?
- i updated to 1.11(1.b)
Quote
Does the board support 1.5G TB HDD's?
Yes - i believe so, the bio's recognize all 4.5tb
Quote
More voltage is needed more than likely to the CPU, QPI, RAM, IOH, & ICH or a combination thereof rather than using a utility that is trying to reduce it. You have a lot of stuff to power up.
it only down clocked the cpu to core 0.00v/qpi 0.00v, PPL voltage 1.6v and memory to 1.65v , IOH to 1.02, ICH 1.35v
Quote
If this is a brand spanky new build, it may be best to establish a stable system in a bare bones configuration, & then add components making any note of any areas that may need a power boost or settings adjustment. To sum it up, CPU has developed a problem, RAM is faulty, board DIMM slots have become faulty, bent socket pins, voltage distribution is faulty or needs tweaking.
i have done most of your suggestions, but all of my test is pointing to a faulty motherboard. i mean the board has 7 pci slots of which 3 work when in crossfire. the x-fi sound card that came with the board came doa, so i should have been more cautious from the beginning and returned it to newegg then. now i am going to have to RMA the board and be without it for close to a month. its frustrating

MSI Eclipse Plus problems

Hi Guys,
Spec as follows;
MSI Eclipse Plus

Logitech Z5500 Digital Surround Sound
MS Vista Ultimate 64bit
Bios Rev 1.0
After a week of struggling and the box traveling back to the wholesaler twice the OS is loaded and the MB and graphics drivers. I have faced problems from the incorrect voltage RAM being supplied (1.9V) to a horribly unstable system that boots when it wants to. Currently when the systems boots there is a 25% chance that graphic of the "windows starting" page is corrupted and the PC hangs.
This is using the only current configuration that will boot to hand to OS. I have removed 3x memory modules and only left the Black slots populated. When I populate the blue slots over and above the board quickly overheats and becomes unstable. Upon reboot either cold or hot the system will hang on "DDR init", reboot 3 times or more and sometimes displays the overclock error.
Does anyone know what the problem is and is there a workaround or update to correct this. This PC has cost plenty dough and is frustrating the hell out of me.

Max voltage for ram is 1.65V , change the settings manually if needed in the bios.
Try asking a new bios on the MSI on-line support , there is a new one but it is beta i believe. (A7566IMS.111 date 1/06/2009)
They gave me one(beta) for my eclipse (not plus)and mine is running like a rocket.

PC shuts down or reboots spontaneously (MSI Eclipse SLI)

Starting a new thread to avoid totally hijacking another thread talking about almost the same symptoms here.
My original post:
Quote from: Smoke on 05-April-09, 12:43:21
I get this same situation.. except the event viewer doesnt state anything.
The system is not bluescreening.. it just hardware powers down and reboots.
I get the same message as the original poster as well, it is very annoying as it often happens in the middle of doing something.
I wonder if it could be thermal related to the high IOH temps on the board (often 80-85C, but not sure what happens to them in the middle of playing a game)? Is there any way to log the temperatures to a file so I can check what they were at the time of the crash?
I get this issue whether I change the default bios settings or not. Ive got a 920 on my eclipse board, my CPU temps are below 30C under load. System temp is about 27C.
What can I do?
The following replies:
Quote from: AaronYuri on 05-April-09, 12:56:57
That's way too high, even for 100% load. Reinstall the heatsink.
Quote from: Smoke on 05-April-09, 20:46:53
It is? I found another thread on this forum where it was mentioned that intel and msi said the IOH runs hot and to expect temps up to 100C. How do I go about changing the manufacturers heatsink on a board? Ive never done that before and cant find any procedural help thru google...
Ive been able to replicate the issue by running ram up to high usage. When I get above 98% ram allocation, I spontaneously reboot. So It could be a ram issue as well. Of would that be something possible IOH related as well?
Quote from: NovJoe on 05-April-09, 23:37:33
smoke,
Can you list out your full system spec and PSU spec?
System Spec:
Core i7 920 w/ TRUE 120
MSI eclipse SLI (bios 1.4)
6x 1gb corsair 1866mhz rated ram sticks (TR3X3G1866C9DF)

MSI eclipse soundcard in the 1st pci-e x1 slot
4x 1tb samsung 'UJ' hdd (raid 5)
O/S (= old winxp 32 bit until I get hold of a 64 bit os) running on 128gb PQI SSD
lg bluray burner
All the drives are sata2 and running on the ICHIOR ports.
For bios settings Ive got the optimised defaults with spread spectrum off and turbo boost on. Once its table then I will OC, but for now its not stable at the baseline yet.
Temp info:
IOH temps are as I said, around 80 at startup but rise to at least 87 under load, but not really much further that Ive seen.
CPU temps are very low with the dual-fan TRUE 120 heatsink. I havet seen it go above 35C with a reasonably heavy processing load. Usually sits about 0-2C above ambient at most when idle.
System temps get to about 40 under load, or around 27-35 under regular usage, but Im not quite sure what thats measuring the temp of on the board.
The issue is very frustrating but somewhat intermittent - I can go two days without a crash but then get several in a row. I wasnt previously paying attention to my usage at the time tho so I dont remember what I was doing when it crashed that I wasnt doing when it was fine. I have been able to replicate the crash/reboot/shutdown symptom by running multiple memory intensive apps and loading the ram up to just on the 2.99gb mark (the most winxp 32 bit will 'see') and it goes down. No blue screen though.. its a hardware issue not software I am pretty sure.
[edit] Updated the ram part number to be correct.

ok, should I label this possibly as solved?
I followed MSI's advice and checked through on drivers. Ive got totally up to date drivers, but nvidia just put out a .5 driver update (i mean, its increased the driver version by .50) and so I updated to that. I still got a sft reboot on testing, so no real joy.
THEN, I did the big change MSI asked me to do - Ive successfully brought my system up to bios 1.5B3 and pow, massive improvements all round!
Intelburntest runs perfectly now, no crash, no reboot, no errors of any kind. All residuals match. No memory errors. Memtest86 2.11 runs smooth as silk without errors either. PCmark runs out a basic benchmark of almost 19000 (about 3000, or 18.75%, more than the std core i7 920 benchmark without OC'ing) and looks great. Couldnt get that to run previously either.
The previous methods which 100% of the time would replicate the soft reboot of the system now no longer do so at all (i.e. 0% of the time yet) and for that matter I have not been able to get the box to fall over AT ALL since the new bios.
I have the same temps on cpu/ioh/system as I did previously. I recall for the same clock speed the cpu was putting out something well under 20 gigaflops... now its a solid 28. I didnt even realise that was a symptom of anything wrong, else the bios does some amazing extras.
I should note, Im only now using the 'optimised defaults' setting thru the bios. No overclock at all yet.
I'd love to know what MSI changed from 1.4 to 1.5B3, but whatever it was.. it does appear to have solved my issues. I wont say that conclusively just yet, but I cant bring the system to a crash no matter what I try now where it was rather easy to blow it over with a quiet whistle before.
Other things Ive noted is that the page file now seems to be actively utilised. Ive pushed it at load up to almost 3gb where before the bios update I was struggling to see 400mb used. Not sure if that was part of it, but if you get simiar issues go straight to MSI and see about getting hold of the 1.5B3 bios or later.
To quickly address the recent replies:
1) Ive got to agree with HU16E with my ram. I have no trouble running at the 1333 JDEC spec. And I feel very positive about now being able to achieve the XMP spec with this new bios.
2) Thanks for the link Aaron. I did end up using the USB flash method from this forum. Worked perfectly. Chalk up another success story!
3) I did try to swap out the ssd last night, but the system kept soft rebooting while installing the OS on the spin drive. SO I gave up. Seems the ssd isnt a drawback under the new bios tho (assuming it even was a cause earlier).
4) Ive DL'ed the x64 windows 7 beta and I'll likely as not have a shot installing that and refitting the extra 3gb ram back into the system. I'll let you know how it goes. Theoretically 6x1gb sticks should be as much as 15-20% faster than 3x 2gb sticks (and were about that much cheaper for me at time of purchase) but I'll run some benchmarks now that the benchmarks work and let you know the differences in case anyone wants to build their box the same way.
Conclusion:
I'll stress the system over a bit for the next few days without overclocking and I'll see if I can bring the system to reboot like it did previously through high usage, and if I cant I'll change the thread to solved and write out a proper solution post for the problem, symptoms and solution.
Id like to take the opportunity to say thanks to all the guys who've given me help and advice. Youve all been really great. Thanks a bundle! I owe you one

Overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920

Hi,

Here are my system spec.

With a stock Intel CPU cooler, I don't recommend going past what default voltages can achieve, excluding maybe a memory voltage increase or timings adjustment if needed. Some utilities are very important to have before starting to OC such as Real Temp & CPU-Z. What are your CPU & IOH temps reading in bios H/W Monitor? The temps of the individual cores is also very important, which Real Temp will provide you with.
As mentioned, with a stock cooler, I would suggest not going past about 3.507 (bclk 167 X 21). Other settings need to be changed before this is done however. We need those temps too, before specific settings can be suggested. The last thing any of us want to do, is make settings changes & voltage recommendations that may damage your system.

Replacement chipset coolers that fit the MSI Eclipse?

The title pretty well sums up the question, I need some North and southbridge coolers that will fit the mountint holes (low profile for the southbridge) on my MSI Eclipse Motherboard.

Quote from: Henry on 06-July-10, 03:57:29
Why do you think you need to replace them? Do you think temperatures are too high or what? If so what temperature do you have? That subject has been beaten to death here.

MSi 6337: Memory problem

Hi everybody,
I have a MSI motherboard with four 168-pin DIMM sockets. Only three of my 128Mb memory modules are recognized by my BIOS (RAM="384MB" instead of "512MB"). I have tested the modules and the sockets : they are OK. How can I fix this problem?
Thanks,;)
Alfred.
motherboard: MS-6337 (815 EPT PRO Ver 5.0 )
BIOS manufacturer: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG : ver : 7.30
BIOS ID : 01/11/2002-i815EP-W83627-6A69RM4LC-00
Chipset: Intel Solano 815/EM rev 4
OS : windows XP : ver. 5.1
Memory clock 100 MHz.
CPU: P3 Tuaratin 1200

Per forum rules, I have searched the forum for answers to my questions. Since this topic seems closest to what I need to know, I have added to it rather than start a new topic.
Here is the exact wording in the MS-6337-LE5 mainboard USER'S MANUAL.
MAIN MEMORY
* Support three 168-pin DIMM sockets
* Support a maximum memory size of 512MB SDRAM
This manual has no chart telling you what memory sizes, populations, and configurations work with this board, and MSI has no test reports for this board online.
However, I was told some time ago by one of the moderators (Assaf or Wonkanoby) that the MS-6337-LE5 is very similar to the 815EPT Pro mainboard. Here is the exact wording in the 815EPT Pro USER'S MANUAL.
MAIN MEMORY
* Support four 168-pin DIMM sockets.
* Support a maximum memory size of 256MB or 512MB SDRAM
The maximum memory size in each slot is 256MB, according to this forum thread. That means a 512MB DIMM will not work in this board. You need two 256MB DIMMs to reach the 512MB total of all slots. Plus, this board has a memory population chart on page 2-7 of the manual, and memory size & configuration (SDRAM addressing) chart on page 2-8 of the manual. It also has test reports online.
But if you look at page 2-8 of the manual, there is one 512MB DIMM listed as working, and it has to be 32x8 DS (Double Sided, 256MB each side). Is that the only 512MB DIMM that will work in this board?
What about the MS-6337-LE5?
The maximum overall memory (total of all 3 slots) for the MS-6337-LE5 is 512MB.
What is the maximum size in each slot? The manual doesn't say. Is it 256MB? 512MB?
If it's like the 815EPT Pro, then the largest size DIMM I can put in any slot is 256MB -- and I'd need 2 of them to total 512MB. If that's true, then a 512MB DIMM may not work for the MS-6337-LE5. Is that correct?
What about the 512MB DIMM that is 32x8 DS (Double Sided, 256MB each side) shown as working for the 815EPT Pro? Will that one work on the MS-6337-LE5? Or do I have to get two 256MB DIMMs instead?
Also, since the MS-6337-LE5 has only 3 slots and the 815EPT Pro has 4 slots, I can't exactly follow the memory population chart on page 2-7 of the 815EPT Pro manual to see which slots can use SS and which can use DS. So let me ask this.
If I have two DS DIMMs, then in the MS-6337-LE5, they can only be installed on slots 1 and 2, correct?
And if there are two DS DIMMs in slots 1 and 2, can a third DS DIMM be put in slot 3, only a SS DIMM, or no DIMM at all (assuming the total of all 3 slots does not exceed 512MB, of course).
Another quick question about memory. The DIMMs for these boards cannot be DDR, ECC, Buffered, or Registered, correct? They have to be non-DDR, non-ECC, non-parity, unbuffered, and unregistered, correct? And whenever possible, it's preferable to use DS DIMMs instead of SS DIMMs? And I should look for CAS2 rather than CAS3 because it's faster?
And just because a DIMM has 8 chips on it doesn't mean it'll work with my board. I have to make sure the DIMM is LOW DENSITY (16x8, 16x16, 32x8). Will this board handle anything higher than 32x8? Will it handle 32x64, for example? 32x72? At what point does LOW DENSITY become considered HIGH DENSITY?
Sorry if this post is long. I wanted to ask all the memory questions in one place rather than start several different posts, so that any one else who had memory questions about my board could find their answers in one place. Moderators, when you reply, please indicate to which question you are answering because I have a lot of them here.

But like this the memory will never work at 1600 Mhz..

GTX 470 AND MSI Eclipse SLI

hi,
I got a msi eclipse sli mobo and i going to upgrade my sapphire hd 4870 512mb to a gtx 470.
but why should i buy an msi gtx 470, does the card make a special connection with the mobo so it performs better than when i would put in an EVGA card ??

but why should i buy an msi gtx 470
Probably because it is cool to have as much MSI Components in the system as possible (it is a corporate identity kind of thing).

Not really.

The performance depends on the cards specs. If the MSI Version has better specifications (more memory, slightly overclocked etc.), it may perform better than the EVGA Card. If the cards are identical there is no reason to believe that one would be faster then the other.

Settings for OCZ3OB1600LV6GK on MSI Eclipse SLI (X58) and i7 @ 920??

Hello everybody!
Could anyone suggest me the right settings for the RAM (at 1600MHz), in order to pass memtest (in windows) wih no errors?
I've managed to setup the RAM at 1333 MHz without errors at all and my sytem stable. All the Dimms have been examined one by one and found healthy (via memtest in & out of windows). Thank you in advance!
Here are my computer specs:
MSI Eclipse SLI (MS-7520)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz + Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler
XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 (1024 Mbytes - GDDR3)
OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 /1600MHz /Value Series /Obsidian XTC Heatspreader /Core i7 Ready /2GB Module /6GB Triple Channel
WD2500AAKS
Corsair HX620W Modular Power Supply

Henry thank u for answering!
First image settings (in bios): 9-9-9-24 (1T), Memory Ratio 1333Mhz - Uncore Ratio 2666Mhz, DRAM Voltage -Auto (1.50V), Spead Spectrum Disasbled. PASSES MEMTEST
Second image settings (in Bios): 9-9-9-24 (1T), Memory Ratio 1600Mhz - Uncore Ratio 3200Mhz, DRAM Voltage 1.65V, Spead Spectrum Disasbled. FAILS MEMTEST
I have tried a lot of different timings to stabilize at 1600Mhz but no luck I tried also to icrease the QPI Voltage at 1.35V (as i was suggested by a friend) but i can't read anywhere the default voltage in order to increase it
The CPU-Z SPD tab 1st and 2nd image shows some sets of timings which are the same. They differ a lot than the manufacturer's settings (9-9-9-24 1.65v). Which of these should i use? Could you help me a little by being more specific?
p.s: Hope you can see the images as they are my first (pic) uploads!
