MSI Eclipse Plus Motherboard Featuring NF200 Chip is it worth the it????

Well MSI have launched there i7 with NF200 support according to some uk sites and the price is like ouch ouch and ouch again £350ish. Also it seems from some reports on the NF200 it slower that the X58 without the chip so is it really worth the money? Or are we been ripped of by the computer industry.

I agree with mechsner , for now it's overkill , on the eclipse you can run 2x pci-e 16x or 1 pci-ex16 and  2 x pci-ex8 for triple sli.
If you use 2x gtx295 or 2x 4870x2 you got quad sli on 2x pci-ex16 (black slots).
Maybe in the future when gpu's get stronger and faster but now ?
Now sli is software related on the x58 chipset, but with the nf200 it' hardware related. is this better ?

  • 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 Plus cannot startup and always on "suspend"

    Good day everyone, I'm at wits end. Currently using the MSI Eclipse Plus with i7 920 (not overclocked yet) with a Gigabyte 800W Odin Pro Power Supply. The problem I'm encountering is at the startup. When I press power button the board blinks blue like normal and immediately goes into suspend mode. (well im guessing it is cos there is a yellow led light above the power button on the motherboard indicating suspend).
    I tried unplugging devices, fans, hard disks, all peripherals but the motherboard just wont boot up.
    The funny thing was yesterday I was using the computer and it was just fine. No problems...until this evening when it decided not to boot at all and stubbornly display the yellow LED stating its on suspend.
    What gives?
    Hope you guys can help me cos really I am so tempted to ditch this board right now.
    Stefan

    Sounds like all is well. That's good news. If all is confirmed stable, I wait a week or two before OC'ing to give everything some time to settle in. There is some real good OC info in the OC & Modders part of the forum. Actually, when you are ready to start OC, it is best to start a new thread in the OC & Mod section of the forum. If your CPU cooler is stock original, 3.5 is probably a realistic goal. A base clock of 166-7 & multi 21 with Turbo Boost, should net about 3.507. Keep in mind, the RAM is affected as well, & those settings will probably need some adjustment as well. There are other settings that need to be changed too. When you create your new thread, be sure to make a signature of all your system components. It makes it a bunch easier to make recommendations.

  • MSI Eclipse Plus problems

    Hi Guys,
    Spec as follows;
    MSI Eclipse Plus
    Inwin 650W Commander 80+ PSU
    i7 920 CPU
    6x 2GB Apacer DDR3 10600 1333MHz
    MSI N275GTZ (Twin Frozr) GPU
    Seagate Barracuda 1Tb 7200 HDD
    LG GGC-H20L BluRay/DVD
    LG W2343S LCD monitor
    Logitech MX5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop
    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.

  • Overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920

    Hi,
    I need help on how to overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920?
    Here are my system spec.
    MSI Eclipse Plus
    Antec Quattro 850W PSU
    Corsair TR3X6G1600C9
    120GB Sata HDD
    Rgds

    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. 

  • Msi eclipse plus

    Hai i have a strange problem with me eclipse plus combined with corsair dominator 3x2 GB TR3X6G1866C9DF in triple channel mode (black slots,2,4,6) the sytem constant reboots after showing d4 led...
    Placing one memory in slot 2 works fine for all three, also puttiing two modulus in slot 2 and 4 off whatever combination of the three works fine windows 7 installed.
    Tried all kinds of cell menu settings found on the net and msi and corsair forums and memory timings no luck with three in triple mode unsuccesfull.
    I have an i7 920 processor and gtx 295 and 850 W silverstone power supply.
    Is there an eclipse plus bios update like for the eclipse standard mobo that couls help me?
    Or should i buy other memory and which and forget about the dominators.....180 euro lost.....

    I guess you could argue the case with the shop, although rare, the pins could have been bent from the start. Otherwise, an RMA to MSI will be needed. At the top of this page just under the big blue MSI logo, you should see the 'Service' tab. Good luck to you gulare, & hope it is resolved soon for you.
    When I bought my Eclipse (FluidTek in Sydney, Australia), I was made to remove it from the anti-static bag  the shop, inspect it and sign off the pins were undamaged. I can understand this from the vendor's point-of-view as it leaves no doubt as to the initial condition of the board and who is responsible for any socket damage.

  • MSI Eclipse Plus, SLI, PCI and double hieght graphic cards.

    I'm intrested in building a system with the Eclipse Plus and 2 card sli setup.
    The manual states that for a 2 way sli, graphic cards should be placed in slots top 2 pci slots. MY graphic cards are double height so placing them in these slots would block out the only pci slot available which I need
    Is it possible to mount the graphic cards in the first and 3rd slot and still achieve sli?

    Are you sure about that PD?
    syrus will just have to give it a try. Please let us know if it works.

  • Msi Eclipse Plus (Sli) Boot Problem !

    Hi
    I have a problem , but i'm not sure if it's a motherboard problem ! So i request some help to clearly identify the troubleshoot .
    When i try to launch my computer i got 4 bip and message on the Debug led (on the back of the motherboard) :
    - It say FF
    And on the DLed 2 i have the message :
    - CPU Ini.
    FF means status = Power on and Initialize CPU (see in the booklet of MSi Motherboard)
    All is running : CPU Fan and front fan turning; Power on Hard drive ; GTX295 Led is Green , but nothing happen . The card stay in freeze position .
    I have check the PSU 1000w Corsair . GTX295 have power , Motherboard led of CPUpower is on (6 blu Led )
    I have unplug all component on motherboard except PSU and still the same message and status
    I have pull off the PSU and press the Cmos reset button .
    I have Pull out the battery of the motherboard for 30 sec , still nothing
    So i don't understand what happened . May be CPU is down or the motherboard is down i don't know if there is a solution to identify the problem 
    All Component are new from monday .
    I apologise for my english
    Thanks for helping if you got any idea

    If you do pull the CPU for reseating, be sure to check carefully for socket pins damaged or bent.

  • Help with 4GHz Overclock on MSI Eclipse Plus

    Hi all,
    I'm new to overclocking, but have read up on some materials. I'm trying to get my i7 930 to 4GHz on air cooling, but the system seems relatively unstable with BSODs and Prime95 crashing (including workers stopping due to error) from time to time.
    My specs are set out in my sig below.
    For now, I have disabled C1E, EIST, Turbo mode and Spread Spectrum and my BIOS settings are as follows:
    Base Clock - 200
    Multiplier - 20x
    Memory Ratio - 4
    Uncore Ratio - 8
    XMP - Disabled
    QPI - Full Speed
    QPI Frequency - 4.8
    CPU Voltage - 1.336 (+0.14)
    QPI Voltage - 1.35
    CPU PLL Voltage - 1.88
    DRAM Voltage - 1.64
    IOH Voltage - 1.202
    ICH Voltage - 1.200
    Idle temps around 45-46 C, with 85-88 C on load (ambient temps around 28 C)...scary, I know.
    Does anyone here have this motherboard? What has been your experience so far? Is there any advice that you can give me to stabilize my overclock? I'm not sure what else I can do.

    Thanks for being the first to help. I tried your suggestion. The lowest available Memory Ratio is 3 and I set the Uncore Ratio to 6. However, PC did not manage to POST at all and it restarted 3 times thereafter for reason of failed overclocking. At least with Memory Ratio 4 and Uncore Ratio 8 is more stable for this setup?
    I also tried changing the multiplier to 19 and 21 but still not much. Right now, I've reduce the overclock to 3.8 GHz using the following settings:
    Base Clock - 180
    Multiplier - 21x
    Memory Ratio - 4
    Uncore Ratio - 8
    XMP - Disabled
    QPI - Full Speed
    QPI Frequency - 4.8
    CPU Voltage - 1.240 (+0.02)
    QPI Voltage - 1.35
    CPU PLL Voltage - 1.86
    DRAM Voltage - 1.65
    IOH Voltage - 1.355
    ICH Voltage - 1.200
    Perhaps I'm too ambitious in trying to reach 4GHz due to limitations in my system?

  • No USB power from MSI X99S Plus and no Vision from GPU.

    Dear Forum,
    I have build a new PC with a MSI x99S plus motherboard but when I start it up the fans start turning but I get no vision and even weirder there is no power coming out of the usb ports. I have checked every connection, I disconnected everything that was not nessesary and even tried to start up without harddrives connected. Still only the fans start turning and some leds light up but no vision and still no power to the USB ports
    I have used the following components:
    MSI x99S plus motherboard
    MSI 3G gaming GTX 780 GPU
    Seasonic G650 PSU (650 watt)
    Corsair Venguance LPX DDR4 4GBx4 ram
    Corsair H105 Hydro Series CPU cooler
    Intel I7-5820K CPU
    128 GB samsung SSD (for booting)
    2 TB WD Hard drive
    WD DVD Drive
    Ill hope someone regonises the problem.
    Also this is the first forum topic I have ever started so if I am doing something wrong please give some tips!

    No I had not tried to boot it with one memory stick and well it starts up now! Many Thanks! Do you have any idea what would cause the PC not to boot with 4 ram sticks in them? What I am gonna do now is boot it with one memory stick more at the time too see if one is broken.
    Many thanks!!
    I am happy now 
    can be many things:
     * defective memory stick
     * defective memory slot
     * incorrect memory parameters: too high memory freq., too tight timings, too low voltage, too tight command rate to handle 4 large memory stick
     * not fully compatible memory sticks with current BIOS version
     * could be bent-ed pins(s) on the CPU/mobo

  • Re: MSI 58 eclipse plus won't start

    Hmmm...bad board.  I guess my context was completely wrong.  Hehehehe 

    Quote from: jcniest5 on 20-June-09, 03:59:58
    Buddy, just a word of advice...6GB OCZ Platinum DDR2-12800 and MSI Eclipse Plus just don't mix.  I have exactly the same combo and was not able to make it work right until I went and bought Corsair 1600 memory.  The OCZ memory has tighter memory timing, but it works horrible, even when I relax their timing to 9-9-9-24 like that of Corsair.  Still crapping out every single time, even at stock speed (non-OCed CPU)!  I originally thought that my memory kit was bad, si I RMAed it, got a new kit from OCZ, installed it, same thing!  My conclusion?  OCZ Platinum and Eclipse Plus just don't mix.
    The Corsair memory kit works perfectly, stock or OCed.  To further isolate my issue, I OCed the CPU to a certain speed, use the relaxer timing of the two memory kits and tried one at a time.  I've tried running it at 1066, 1333, 1600 and everything in between.  With the Corsair memory, I was to run my board stable at everything.  As soon as I changed to the OCZ memory, the PC crapped out every single time.  It would crash, freeze, BSODed out....etc...etc....  The OCZ memory is now sitting on the shelf. 
    Go and get a different brand of memory.  It will make a world of a difference, I tell ya. 
    well i would belive that my pc atleast would run fans e.t.c  even if it was the ram, as its now. i`l steal some ram from a buddy and see.
    thanks for ur tip.
    Regards Lockness

  • ONE LAST HURRAH: Before saying Goodbye to my Beloved MSI Eclipse!!!

    I already posted this  article  in the motherboard thread but seems like this is the best place to post this
    ONE LAST HURRAH: Before saying Goodbye to my Beloved MSI Eclipse!!!
    Well it has been two months since I purchased this MSI Eclipse SLI board and while waiting for its bigger brother MSI Eclipse Plus, I would like to try out a new board from another manufacturer. Before I pass this board to its new owner, I decided to give it a little review to so that other people who will be upgrading to i7 platform will have some idea how good or how bad this board is.
    A few months ago and maybe until now, Eclipse is the flagship board of MSI in terms of i7 based motherboard. Its bigger brother MSI Eclipse Plus has already been sighted in some forums but no definite date yet on when it will be available in the market.
    The Box
    The size of the box was way bigger than my old P45 motherboards. It is actually almost 2x the size of the conventional ATX board box. 
    Upon opening the panel on the box, you will see a lot of information about the board! You will also see the added stuff from MSI like the Green Power Genie as well as the awesome Creative Xfi! Yes, a creative Xfi Extreme Audio PCIe sound card was included on the package.
    Upon opening the box, you will see a plastic container (I am assuming that this is anti-static) that contains the motherboard, DLED2, Green Power Genie and creative X-fi.
    There’s another box that contains a lot of stuff! MSI is as usual generous in giving their customers all the things the need to fully populate the board. This includes the  cables needed to populate all the sata and ide slots,  cross fire and SLI cable, additional USB bracket, ESATA bracket and the M connectors. All the manuals needed to setup the boards are also included.
    The Board and Layout:
    The board for me is pretty sexy!  It comes with a black PCB. The RAM slots and the other expansion slots are only blue and black in color which is a perfect combination for an intel based platform. The IOH and the ICH10R is actually covered by a copper heatsink with heatpipes connecting them. Well, personally I do not like this design since I do know that x58 generates a lot of heat. The VRMs also come with a copper heatsink but no heatpipe . As far as I understand from the box information, this is MSI’s split thermal design as well as protection from warping.
    MSI also provided 6 RAM slots and they come in blue and black sockets. Do yourself a favor by putting the ram in the black slots. I previously ran into problems of the system hanging in “ DDR ini “ and later found out from reading the manual and searching the web that the black slots should be populated first.
    The board came with 10 sata ports! 6 of them in 90 degrees are connected to the ICH10 and the 4 are actually by the jmicron chips attached to the board and also function as
    HW raid. Connect 2 HDD on sata 7 and 8 or sata 9 and 10, do some stuff in the BIOS and you are all set to run the system in raid 1 (mirror) or 0 (stripe). I have had no chance to test the raid 0 + 1 since I don’t have 4 identical drives.  It also comes with an IDE slot for your old parallel IDE HDD and/or ODD.
    The expansion slots come with 3 pci x16 slots, 2 pci and 2 pcie x1 which I believe is more than enough to suffice your daily needs. The bottom part of the board came with a power, reset and dled switch along with MSI’s OC jumper.
    The back panel is not that good looking. Well it’s the same back panel style of their P45 series board. It doesn’t matter anyway since it is at the back of the chassis and what concerns me the most is functionality. The board came with 8 usb ports at the back, 2  Gigabit lan, 2 esata ports, a 1394 connector, a cmos reset switch and the conventional PS/2 ports for mouse and keyboard.
    Bios and overclocking
    I  just captured the most important portion on the bios which is the Cell Menu. It is the overclocking tab on MSI’s BIOS
    Overclocking and Benchmarking Results
    Since I have not installed anything yet on my new board, I decided just to compare the stock and overclock result from this board.
    Below are the lists of components that I will be using
    Intel Core i7 920 2.66ghz  ( cooled by Thermalright HR 01 plus )
    MSI Eclipse SLI – Beta BIOS 1.45
    MSI 8800gtx (well a bit old but still reliable)
    Team Extreme ddr3 1600 @ 8-8-8-25 rated 1.65V
    Western digital Raptor 74gb 16MB cache
    I tried setting up this board one last time on my  DIY open system  using the components above. And Good thing that my ever energetic and reliable  assistant is always there to help … hahahaha
    SPI Stock and 4Ghz OC  Results
    Stock =  15.313s
    4Ghz = 10.405s
    PC Mark 05 Stock and 4 Ghz OC Result
    Stock = 9745
    4Ghz = 13136
    3DMark 05 Stock and  4Ghz OC results
    Stock = 13388
    4Ghz = 14289
    3DMark vantage Stock and 4Ghz OC Results
    Stock = 8160 ( 33530 on CPU score )
    4Ghz = 8315 ( 43567 CPU score )
    Aquamark Stock and Overclock
    Stock = 131812 ( 18685 CPU score )
    4Ghz =  179261 ( 23139 CPU score )
    I tried playing with bclock  since I have seen people in several forum saying that their boards( not specific to MSi eclipse ) / i7 proc cannot go above 200 or maybe just above 200 bclock. After doing some tweak I was able to get 215 bclock and the max I was able to get is 218,  All the test that had been done are just after vista installation. No tweaks done  on windows.
    SPI = 10.343 ( 19 x 215 )
    SPI = 10.030s (  19 x 218 )
    Wrap-up / Conclusion
    I really don’t want to let this board go but I don’t have extra budget to buy and try new boards from other manufacturer so that I can compare the result. So right now I am stuck with selling this just to buy another x58 board (of which I will try to post a mini review soon)
    I did encounter IOH temperature issue when I first bought this motherboard. IOH temperature is at 65C and this still goes up while running benchmarking tests. I made minor modifications on the board and as far as I know, it did not void the warranty. Below are the modifications that I have made:
    1.   Removed the violet thermal paste that MSI used and replaced it with Artic Silver 5.
    2.   Removed the plastic pushpin and replaced it with a bolt and plastic nut.
    3.   Added a 40mmfan that is just enough to take out the heat from the IOH
    Guess what, the temperature after these is just below 55C even under benchmarking (done during night time and I would expect that this will go to probably 60 degrees during daytime given the tropical climate in the Philippines).
    I was able to overclock my i920 at 3.6ghz without even adjusting anything on the voltages. Meaning they are at stock settings!  I managed to reach 4.0 ghz by simply adding 0.040v (around 1.29 Vcore only)
    Pros
    -   Easy to overclock board
    -   Supports both SLI and crossfire
    -   No issue on bigger after market cooling
    -   90 degrees placement of ICH10’s sata port
    -   Server grade VRM’s and Capacitors used
    -   Creative Xfi included
    Cons
    -   Only one SLI bridge included. It would have been better if a tri SLI connector was given by MSi.
    -   IOH temp an issue for my board.  Need to monitor and maybe try my modifications.
    -   Power/Reset/DLED Switches location will not be accessible if a 3rd video card is installed.
    Other thoughts
    -   It would have been better if the BIOS of the eclipse comes with nominal values on the Cell Menu. This is to serve as guide for the users if they are trying to alter the voltages.
    -   Maybe swap the ide and the sata 7 to 10 ports?  It is better looking if all 10 sata ports are on 90 degrees. It will also ensure that even if you use 2 or 3 video cards, it will not hit any of the sata 7-10 cables if you use them.

    I can see you got your use out of it.   I hope the new owner tortures it, too!

  • MSI Eclipse (problem)

    Dear MSI Teams,
    Currently my MSI Eclipse plus was send for RMA. 1st ram slot spoil. 1st sata spoil. But cannot 1 to 1 exchange. And also prblem with the skype.
    Now the distributer loan a MSI Eclipse to me. Now my pc keep restart. WTH!! Supporting MSI so many years and get this !

  • MSI ramdisk MSI-X79A-GD45 plus motherboard

    I have MSI-X79A-GD45 plus motherboard and i have 64GB of ddr3-1600mhz rams.
    I want to boot windows 7 from ramdisk backup img using msi ramdisk. is it possible?
    when the boot loader of windows loads the ramdisk?
    I am designing a bootloader software for running windows on ramdisk.
    My strategy is
    I install my bootloader/disk enumerator to ssd or usb flash drive. disk enumerator shows old hdd and ssd drives.
    i install 64bits w7 os on ssd
    i install my usefull softwares to work(photoshop, maya etc)
    i create a 36 GB sytem image file without compression. its name is readyos.vhd
    i add an entry to my bootloader/disk enumerator when i power on my computer .
    bootloader> load readyos.vhd,ramdisk(0);
    boot;
    it loads vhd image to ramdisk and sytem goes on.
    when i restrart pc bootloader loads vhd and sytem runs but its frozen because i dont modify readyos.vhd file.
    whats msi thinking about this idea?

    You need to have WWindows running in order to use the RAMDisk application.  You cannot start the RAMDisk first.  You must start Windows first THEN load the RANDisk application. 
    AFAIK, it is not possible to do the opposite.
