MSI HD3870X2 OC Bandwidth Problem!

Ok so i installed my new X2 OC edition and noticed that i only get 28.8GB/s bandwidth,
ive seen other people on internet with the same problem.
I have one 6pin and one 8pin connected.
This is what its suppose to be @ 512mb!
512mb = 57.7 GB/s x2 =114.2GB/s
This is what i have
28.8GB/s
And it shouldn't be be due to 2d clocks, the bandwidth should remain the same at all time.(i was told)
I added a picture for you so you can see my problem.
My system specs:
q6600
GA-P35-DS4
MSI HD3870X2 OC
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
The PCI-E bus is set at x16 so that's not the problem here.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

*edit*
Do you have a Tweaker (overclocking program) that works with 3870X2?
Again, thanks!

@Bas
I am talking about the memory itself (2x 512mb=1024mb) and not the bus bandwidth.
Well you are using the wrong terms.
First, memory-size is expressed in MB = MegaByte (mb = milli-bit never heard of that)
Second, memory size and memory speed are 2 different things and have nothing to do with each other.
Third, (memory) speeds can be expressed in either Mb(it) or MB(yte), but don't forget, it takes 8 bits to make a Byte.
Also speeds are normally in Mb/s or MB/s, but those never express size.
Please use the correct names next time, else we (me) have no clue what you meant to say.

Bandwidth Problems

We are trying to use iChat with a grandson in Iraq. We get a satisfactory Picture ( pixelates frequentl but passable) but almost unintelligible Audio. We however had an audio chat with sound as clear as a local phone call. He uses AIM in Iraq on a PC we are using Mac and iChat over here. He has bandwidth problems over there as he notices slow photo uploads and downloads. He is new at this as he just got the CAM for Christmas,does anyone know if there are there bandwidth adjustments in AIM that he can tinker with to try to improve the situation like we have in iChat, or any suggestions to try. (I doubt that adjsuting the speed on the Mac on this side will help!)

Hi,
On the Mac end it should have System Preferences < Quicktime > Streaming set to 1.5Mbps
In the iChat > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit it may pay to try 500kbps or 200kbps to limit what you send him.
AIM 5.9 on a PC does have a Outgoing adjustment and I am not sure if changing it will help the incoming stuff but it may free up processor time.
He should start a Chat with you (or you with him)
In AIM 5.9 he has his Preview in a tab behind your incoming Video.
He should bring this to the front (And take off Pic-in Pic if set)
Next to the Pic and on the right he should now have a small squarish iCon
Click on this
This will bring up a slider.
Sliding it to the left actually reduces the quality of the Pic from his end.
It is not normally visible but what it does do is allow his processor to produce more frames a sec.
If you open the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) in iChat you will see his incoming Frame Rate and Bit rate and as he slides this to the left you may see changes.
If there are no changes then the issue is going to be the Bandwidth at his end.
At this stage I would suggest a Web Browser based alternative like MeBeam
See here items 9 through 12
These use Flash in a Web Browser to allow access to the Camera and Mic
Once you have entered a room name (your choice) it creates a web page with that name and pops up the Flash Control Panel. Set this to Allow and choose your camera and adjust the Mic volume (Use Headphones/headset if possible)
The MeBeam site pops the control Panel up as soon as you enter the room and can be re-accessed via Settings. the other sites require you use the Settings Button first.
Hope this helps
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

College Bandwidth problems

So I am trying to get my video chat to work with a friend from home however i keep getting bandwidth problems. It has worked before fine at other places. Is it because they are blocking the ports or limiting the bandwidth? Is there any way around this?

They are most likely blocking a port that you need. Most colleges do this to keep the possibility of attacks, etc. You might could talk to the IT dep. and get them to enable a blocked port.
This is a list of the ports that AIM needs: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208.
Also... you should, if you have the OS firewall enabled, open these ports in the OS firewall: 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5678, 16384 through 16403.
Instructions for opening these ports are in the above support article.
Hope this helps,
Cory

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

Power of the Press - MSI Neo4 SLI Bios Problem

For those interested, I just sent this to hardocp because they did the review on the MSI SLI Platinum. Since MSI headlines this review on their website, maybe hardocp can do something about this bios problem. Enjoy and please send more emails to hardocp so we can get this problem addressed! Believe me, Ive seen this works with washington politicians, I know it can work if we all do it.
I appreciate companies like yours doing extensive reviews about products. However, your review caused me and a whole bunch of others to purchase this board with enormous problems associated with it (check out the msi forums). The problem is that this board works only for 130nm chips in which you tested on. On the newer amd 90nm chips, this board is the worst performing sli board out in the marketplace (for both winni and venice core chips). You need to do something to stop people from buying this board because its just awful and the folks from MSI are silent on the subject.
It's gotten so bad that people have gone out and purchased other sli boards, transferred all of the equipment out of it and into the new one and guess what...voila, no problems. Anyway, some of those in the other user forums had the same problem but those other manufacturers quickly fixed the problem. Its just getting worse and worse. I feel like both msi (and I am MAD) and reviewers like you (unless you don't know about the problem) are silent on this and its cost me hard earned MONEY ($175 for the mobo) and hours and hours of time...
You have a LOT OF POWER with MSI and I can see it because they headline your review on their website (power of the press). For Gods sake, please do something before others make the same mistake or if you can get MSI to allocate resources to fix the problem...you would be HEROs! Thank you.

Ok, I guess I am confused some, where is the issue with the new cores? I have no issues running the San Diego core and the my memory at the listed and published speeds.....
Quote
Also is your MOBO the SLI type? I run the SLI Neo4 with a San Diego core without any issues. In fact I dropped it in and booted using the San Diego as a direct replacement for a older (if 6 months is old!!) 3500. I have OC'ed with Corecetner as far as I can push it and runs awesome!
Quote
GUys, I am not sure exactly what issues you are experiencing as there can be MANY factors! But my SLI Neo is running awesome! It overclocks (no Tiresmoke, i won't go into that in this forum ) and has NEVER once BSOD, or rebooted or even crashed! Not once and I push the crap out of this as it is my gaming box. Also TS you are SO correct on the clock settings on the ultras, you gotts make sure they are the same or it will cause issues. The only thing I am kinda bummed about is the lack of real performance with the dual 6800 Ultra's, but that is a Nvidia issue not MSI. Guys I may be blessed, but I have run three Neo MSI brds, 2 939 and 1 754 and never had any issues....
Quote
I have yet to experience any boot/reboot issues...So I think we should wait to hear more from this person before we assume anything...
Quote
I have the nForce4 SLI brd and i run a new San Diego..it booted up fine and zero problems. But man is this thing FAST
Quote
According to MSI, the Neo4 will work fine with the new cores, the Neo2 will need a bios upgrade
Quote
I set my brd up the first time for SLI with dual cards and have never had any issues..Sorry guys, but I guess it's the luck of the draw, but I have yet to ever ave an issue with any MSI brds..I have a Neo2,Neo4 and the older 754 slot Neo..no issues.
7 of your last 11 posts. Why man? Why?
This is from MSI at the "listed and published speeds"
Dear Customer,
Since the mb has not been certified to support the Venice and San Diego Core processors, please wait until beginning of June, 2005 for the release bios support for the mb.

Look, I have already been threatened to be banned because of my sarcastic replies to you. Read every one of your responses I listed. Obviously OTHERS are having problems. WHY don't you help them instead of TAUNTING people that yours works. They are upset, and you make them feel dumb like it's their fault.
Man I have tried to contribute so much to this issue that at least 20 different members here are having, I have tested with an Asus SLI board, I have tried different BIOS's and posted results, I have theorized with others and I feel like you are slapping me in the face by restating time and time again "what problem mine works great"i
I'm on a verbal warning because I didn't have respect for you. Well how are you respecting the other people who have problems by saying you don't know what their issue is. Read up on it or help them, instead of creating tension. Please?

MSI 651 Combo / MS6769 Problem with Temperature

Hi. I´m having some troubles with my mb, since 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, it starts to appear that cpu temperature go 70 º C (158 º F), and i hadn´t do anything. I changed the cooler, and put some new grease, and nothing happen. Then i searched in this forum, and i found a message simmilar, that said something about upgrade bios, and thas what i recently do (WS6769 v1.0 originally, then V1.3, then V1.2). But nothing...
What should i do? buy another mb? I don´t want to.
Thanks.
Claudio

Well, i´m pretty sure that it is the mother board, because, i already changed all what´s possible to change: processor, RAM, hd, power supply, processor.
Din: I don´t know what´s "corecenter". I already upgraded BIOS (to v1.2 that supuestly fix my problem), and put thermal paste (grease? in spanish "pasta disipadora") between CPU cooler and CPU. And i do change the processor (i put a p4 1,8GHz), with other FAN processor (CPU cooler), and the same temperature.
Danny:Those details you ask me:
In a label on the power supply (lVoltage MAXAmpere): +5V 30A, +3.3V 20A, +12V 15A, -12V 0.8A, -5V 0.5A, +5Vsb 2.5A.
It is a Maxpower 300 Watts ATX, model PX300.
On BIOS PC Health: Sys Temp: 18ºC/66ºF, CPU Temp 66ºC/150ºF (up to 70ºC), CPU Fan speed 2909 RPM, Vcore 1.68V, 3.3V 3.26V, +5V 5.10V, +12V 12.03V, -12V -12.19V, VBAT(V) 3.26V, 5Vsb(V) 5.14V.
I have a Celeron 1,8 GHz, socket 478, a MSI 651 Combo MS6769 Motheboard, with nothing else. Hd Maxtor 30Gb, Rewriter MSI 52x24x52.
The problem: From one day to another, it wasn´t load XP. It resets itself after a few seconds (about 5 secs). On the BIOS PC Health section, i actived the CPU Temperature beep on "too much degrees" (i don´t remember the exact name, but that´s the idea). And that´s how i realize that the temperature is the problem. I think it is how the motherboard inform the temperature, and it is a nominal temperature, not real. If it´s real, i already had a burnt processor.
Anything else that can help to find a solution for me?
Very thanks.
Claudio

Msi k8n neo plat problems

I have built 2 computers exactly the same.
msi k8n neo plat
512 corsair xms ddr 3200
8og sata maxtor
amd 64 3200
128mb ati 9800 pro
asus cd drive
When i tried to install windows xp pro on both the machines i got the same error. could not copy file. On each try the file was a different one. After hours of trying new things i found that putting the memory in slot 2 on the motherboard solved the problem, windows installed and booted up as norm. When i moved the memory back to slot 1 the computer would not boot.
I have now left the memory in slot 2 but the computer will still crash every hour.
I am sure this is something to do with the memory but not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help.

Can anybody tell me what i should set the cpu fsb frequency to in the bios.
I just read this in the faq
What is the fsb speed of this cpu?
Depending on which FSB you are asking about: The Athlon 64's have the memory controller built in (which was previously part of the Northbridge on the motherboard) which uses up to 200MHz DDR Memory (400MHz FSB) The HyperTransport link from the CPU to the rest of the motherboard runs up to 800MHz. Just to expand on my answer... The HT link is 800MHz, but it's 16 bit in size (2 bytes worth of data per clock) the total bandwidth of the HyperTransport link is 3.2GB in total - 1.6GB sending data to CPU and 1.6GB receiving data from CPU.

MSI 890FXA-GD70 Crossfire Problems

hi, im new to crossfire and my cousin just gave me his old msi r4770 cyclone..
im wondering why i cant run both cards at full x16 bandwidth..
one is running at PCIE 2.0 @ x16 and another one at PCIE 1.1 @ x8
and why does the other one say PCIE 1.1 and not 2.0?..
i used PCIE_1 and PCIE_5 as the manual says..
here are the screenshots:

glad i could help you get it working! that is a common problem with dust and dabris getting into the unused connectors on motherboards leading to connection problems between cards and motherboard!
in future if that ever happens again try the clean and reseat as that is the most common problem!

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

Msi k7n2 delta ilsr problem

hi i have this configuration on my pc:

kingston hyper x pc3700 2x512 mb
athlon xp 3200+
seagate 120 gb sata 7200.7 hd
ati radeon 9800 pro excalibur ice q
i have 2 problems : the first one is that sometimes windows display me a blue screen with certain problem related to ati2dg.dll i think that problem is beacause the video card so i decided to update the bios , in the live update page from msi says that the bios 7.6 fix a bug with ati vga cards but after flashing and updating to bios v7.6 that blue screen with the same error still appearing so i dont know what else to do to solve the problem and the second one is that when i start any game or make the processor to work a little mostly related with video stuff the case speaker start to beep and the pc lags until he restarts with no reason i really dont know why if u can help me thank you

Foxtrotccs,
In the BIOS try setting the AGP to 4X and disable Sidebanding. Then set the AGP Apeture to 256. See if that helps.
Make sure you are running the lastest nVidia nForce Drivers and the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. There is still a possibility that the Kingston RAM is the problem.

Msi KT3 MoBo / MSI geForce4 TI 4200 Problem

Hello, hopefully someone can help me. I am having a rather unusual problem. Least I think it is. I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram. AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card. First of all, what agp settings should i use? 4x? 2x?. Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes? And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?
I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898! This seems a little low to me. Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000. I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers. Are these bad drivers? None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2. It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage. Can anyone help me? I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn.

I am using Windows XP Pro. I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA. I am also using a 32bpp color depth. The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically. I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have. Man do I fell like such a n00b.
Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked". Where is that at?
Thanks to all who have replied. :D I appreciate it.

BIOS v7.4b2 is a BETA-Release of the BIOS-Series that prepares the upcoming v7.4 Final Version. It is not available for public download and MSI Live Update is not programmed to find it for you.
Also, as every Windows based flash is inherently risky and much more dangerous than any DOS based flashing mething, I suggest you do not use MSI Live Update for BIOS Updates. Unless you are prepared and ready to face the increased risk of a bad flash resulting from using this tool, it is in your own best interest to choose a flashing procedure that will update the BIOS from a plain DOS environment.
I have uploaded the 7.4b2-BIOS (BETA) in the following post. Flash it at your own risk!

MSI X48C Platinum booting problems

Hello all,
First of all, I tried using the searchfunction multiple times and didn't find anything helpful.
So I hope you guys can try and help me with this problem since it's a real pain in the ass.
I built a new setup using:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300
OCZ Reaper PC3 10666 DDR3 2x2GB
OCZ ModXtream Pro 600W
WD 80GB SATA HDD
XFX 9800GTX+
The system booted fine until it got to the POST-screen with the MSI logo. I googled and figured that the Q8300 was not supported and I had to update the BIOS.
With that being said, I got a replacement CPU (C2D E6600) and tried to boot the system. But I gave me and beep-errorcode; 2 short beeps 6 long beeps, no videosignal
I thought it was either the RAM, videocard or the CPU,
so I replaced the RAM with; DDR2 RAM (Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G)/OCZ PC2 8500 1GB (using the Turbocards for DDR2)
the videocard with: ATI HD 5470
and the CPU with a Pentium 6 630
How many times I tried swapping components, it didn't really matter. The system would still give me these cursed 2 shorts beeps and 6 long beeps.
What I've tried so far;
Clearing the CMOS using: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-clear-the-cmos
Removing the CMOS battery
Switching between hardwarecomponents as stated above
Reseating the same memory multiple times
In short:
Errorbeep-code: 2 short beeps and 6 long beeps, no videosignal
Really hope you guys can help me,
Thanks.

Confirm that you tested your Power Supply in another system.
Have you tested the MB outside the case, just resting on a non-conductive surface.

IChat bandwidth problem after upgrading to Quicktime Pro 7.1

I just updated Quicktime Pro 7.1 (from 7.0) and applied the Security update to my iMac G5 1.8 GHz.
My girlfriend and I have been chatting with no problems. She's running an new iMac Dual Core and I have an iMac G5 running 10.3.9. We tried to hook up tonight and kept getting this error:
2006-05-11 21:41:51 -0400: There is insufficient bandwidth to maintain the conference.
Detected 48 kbps upstream and 162 kbps downstream bandwidth; 50 kbps required.
We're both on Cinti Bell's Fuse/Zoomtown ADSL so we have plenty of bandwidth. Set iChat bandwidth to None and st Quicktime to 1.5 Mbps T1/internet/LAN.
Any ideas why, after a month of no problems chatting, this bandwidth issue has come up? She's running 4.5 (hasn't upgraded and hasn't sone the just rreleased security update)?

OK - My gal is here for the weekend so it will be next monday evening before we can toubleshoot as I don't know any other place where I can find someone to video chat with for testing purposes. We're using AIM accounts, but like I say, before the upgrade I did it was working fine. I've been through most of the 'usual' from rebuilding permissions, diskwarrior to ensure the disk is OK. Next week I'll trash preferences and such when we troubleshoot.
I appreciate the response. If I find anything out I'll update this thread.
