MSI H67MA-E35-B3 & some ram questions

Hi, I'm still here!
I recently bought a MSI H67MA-E35-B3 to build a fanless miniPC for testing hardware (fans, ssd, sound card),
but I have some doubts about ram:
I know thant this mobo support two unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 1066/1333 DRAM, 16GB Max..
well, can I use a CORSAIR Vengeance WhitePC3-12800 (1600MHz) — 1.35V 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W)?
that is; can the card bring down (during the star-up bios) the ram fron 1600Mhz to 1333Mhz which is the maximum rate allowable by MSI?
ddr3 must be unbufferd (not registered), but can they be ECC...is this correct?

My suggestion is that you stick to standard 1,5V modules.
You can also ask MSI technical if the 1,35V modules are at all supported by the BIOS. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Check if your BIOS DRAM voltage range even allows setting a voltage of 1,35V.
Normally if the RAM SPD profiles are standard, the BIOS will default to 1333.
MSI H67MA-E35-B3 can support 1.35vram!!!
I try it with ddr3 g.skill 1333 eco 1.35vram (from my other 775 system with MSI P45 Diamond ), and they worked great!

Try not to confuse 'standard' with 'rating'. The Corsairs you have are 'rated' 1600, but most likely are overclocked, in this case undervolted, (undertimed for 1600 speed) 1333 chips. I checked the Corsair Website, & the RAM you have purchased does have SPD programming to default to DDR3 1333, 9 9 9 24. The difference is they have a 1.35v's. Again, Sandy Bridge is designed for DRAM V. 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. That is why I recommended the other Corsair kit. I am pretty sure the RAM you currently have will properly default to the 1333 & 9 9 9 24, but the 1.35v's setting may cause a problem. As Bernhard has mentioned, the system may not be able to lower the DRAM V. to 1.35v's, I have never tried it to find out. The other scenario is the DRAM V. will default to 1.50v's at startup & work fine. Then, manual reduction of the DRAM V. could be attempted.
I've not bought the corsair ram ..
If the 1600 ddr3 worked under at 1333 could be that they would not work at 1.35volt, but at 1.5volt standard value

New RAM for MSI H67MA-E35(B3)

Hi,
I am planning to buy a new pair of RAM for my MSI H67MA-E35(B3) motherboard as the GSkill Ripjaws X which I was using since 2012 finally gave up on me recently (and the GSkill service sucks in my country). I am looking forward to buy a new pair of Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB RAMs for my MoBo. Hence I'd like to know if there will be any issues in terms of compatibility and stability with my current config? If there are going to be any such issues, would you please recommend me a good pair of RAMs to get my system running again. My priorities are Reliability and Stability with good service backup.
An early response will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Use Corsair ram. A Vengeance or Vengeance Pro kit will fit your needs. An 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 kit would be fine. e.g.: CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8

MSI H67MA-E35-B3 not supporting ddr3 1333

Hi,
I recently purchased MSI H67MA-E35-B3 and Intel Pentium G620 processor with Corsair xms3 2x2gb ram kit CMX4GX3M2A1600C9
Ram is not detected as 1333, but it defaults to 1066 in auto settings, if I manually change speed to 1333, pc wont boot and I have to clear cmos.
Enabling XMP in bios displays adjusted dram speed as 1600, but saving and rebooting speed sets back speed to 1066.
I want to run ram at default 1333 speed at least if the board cpu doesnt support 1600.
Also there is some issue with Ps/2 keyboard, its not detected by windows after shutting down pc, some reboots and plugging unplugging keyboards makes it work.

Actually, according to Intel specifications, native memory support of this processor is restricted to DDR3-1066:

Memory Types DDR3-1066
No word about DDR3-1333 support.

What is your current UEFI/BIOS Version?

MSI H67MA-E35-B3 S/PDIF internal connector

A quick question before I decide on buying a new motherboard... Does the MSI H67MA-E35-B3 come with an S/PDIF out connector/bracket for its internal header??
Thanks.

http://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user/PreSaleForm.aspx
If they don't come with one there are other brackets readily available that will work on it. Those S/PDIF brackets rarely come with a MB.

Do you mean ripping off Buz1 from the motherboard? the buzzer is physically attached to the mobo.

Yes, normally its removable
Quote from: ptsai83 on 06-July-11, 02:27:55

Just checked and yes seems for your board is different, its build-in instead:
In such case: Place a small piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole[over the top of the buzzer/speaker]

MSI-KM2M Combo-L (6738) Ram Question

Can this motherboard support pc2700 ram. Everywhere I go I see that people use PC2100 even when trying to buy some that's what they show will work on this motherboard. In the booklet though it says it can support pc2700, but I have been having problems with it. I have two 512MB Sticks PC2700 333, they each work fine by themselves and each of the two ddr slots are good. I am running windows xp and everytime I turn on the comp with both in, it will start up and then before it goes to the desktop it will restart. Sometimes it says I am missing a config file in windows32. I know that you have to update your bios for winx9 and winME, but I am using xp and it should be able to support both of them. I do not know if this board has problems with pc2700. Any help would be apprieciated.

I find the same problem with 2 512MB DDR DIMMS. Seems to hang in NT and blue screen. Don't know what that guy is talking about voltage settings in bios when my bios has no such settings to adjust DDR voltage.
Very odd problem. If I put SDRAM in the motherboard it works fine. But not 2 512MD ddrs? Go figure. Anyone know the answer to this? Is this a bios bug?

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)

Msi 790GX-G65 and "EB" Ram question....

Hiya All,
Q: could it be that "OCZ DDR3 ram p3 1600 EB 2GK" won't work with a MSI 790GX-G65 mobo because of the "EB" (enhancend Bandwidth) ? ? ?
can't find anything on EB in the manual or on the net concerning the MSI 790GX-G65 mobo
System freezes randomly, sometimes during start up sometimes after an hour.
all temps are okay and nothing is OC-ed.
got ati 4870 gfx card.
550 W power suply.
cpu: AMD phenom2 x3 720 black edition
thanks to any one willing to look into this matter
Bassman404
p.s. asking this for a friend so hard to give more info than this atm

thanks for your quick reply
The PSU is a HKC USP5550
and forgot to mention that the ram is running on 1333 MHz not 1600MHz.(not trying to run it higher than 1333 MHz atm)
i'm wondering if the "enhancend bandwidth" could be the cause of the system freezing?
or in other words do i have the wrong RAM?
and thanks allready

Control Center II on MSI H67ma-e35 (b3) does not maintain a preset

hello guys,
as announced in the title
on my mother board H67 (actually on the other mobo 1155 that I own I have yet to install it), the CC II does not maintain the Green Power Genie preset...
or, I imposed at 75% but the next reboot, it always returns to Auto mode ..
Bios is set active to 75% too,
and I do not understand why it does not align to the same value by software ..

Quote from: HU16E on 22-June-12, 17:46:57
Sometimes software and utilities that run in Windows have a glitch or two. That is why many of us do all the setting changes in the BIOS manually.
for example on my great MSI P45 Diamond, the dual core center produces the "debug assertion failed" erroy almost every day....
in this case I learned that I click "ignore" and I continue my work

MSI P35 Neo2-FR P35 , RAM question

BIOS chip for MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)

Is it possible to get a BIOS chip for this motherboard?
I've got this motherboard from a friend. He wanted to flash the BIOS but it failed. The board was fine before the flash but now it can't do anything anymore. It's just the BIOS that's bad.
The chip seems to be relatively easy to remove. I would like to solder on a new one.
Someone who can help me out? Thanks!!!

Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite. Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

MSI 975x Powerup edition and ram question

I am thinking on upgrading my ram on the board mentioned above I have 2GB or corsair which works fine anyone here know if I add another 2GB does it need to be corsair or could I use something like kingston or kingmax or whatever? Or does it need to be the exact same corsair ram. In the past this wasn't an issue but this board is extremely fussy.
I am wondering if it would affect dual channel operation. The corsair ram is about 100 dollars more for 2GB not a big deal I just don't feel like driving to another city to get it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take care,
Bob

you should get all 4 sticks the SAME model name. If you get different sets of pairs, it's more likely they will run into issue. However, in most case, they still can run just good enough. But if you're going into overclocking, you will hit the bottleneck easier compared to 4 same sticks.

MSI H67MA-E35 undervolt/underclock i3 2120?

Hi,
do you know if with this board it's possible to underclock/undervolt an i3 core family processor (for example the i3 2120 or i3 2100)?
I have checked on the online manual and I have see a multiplier setting for the clock in the BIOS but I have not see a control for change the default vcore.
In theory is always possible to change the multi (down only of course) or lower the voltage even in the processor locked but can this board do it? it has the correct options in BIOS? someone have tried and can confirm that it's possible?
many thanks

Believe the CPU V. set to Auto when all power saving features are enabled is as low as it is going to go with the voltage. The CPU's VID is being read as to the minimum the CPU needs to run with, and with your mainboard, there is no way to manually force it lower far as I know.
