MSI K9A2 PLAT/AMD 9850 BE/ CPU Ratio issue

Stats
AMD-9850 BE
MSI-K9A2 plat v1.0/Bios 1.3(have given 1.4 and 1.6 a try and it does not fix the issue)
PSU-Apevia Warlock 900w
ATI 4870
4gigs(2 sticks) OCZ-DDR2 1066
Windows Vista 64-SP1
My issue is that my CPU ratio will not change the speed of my current CPU clock in BIOS(or real time CPUZ).  The stock CPU ratio for an AMD 9850 BE is 12.5.  I can change it to 13 (ect) and save and reboot but it will not change the CPU clock, however the cell menu shows it at x13 2600 MHz.  Its almost as if the ratio is locked and it should not be.  I can lower the Ratio to 12 changing the CPU clock to 2.4 so it is working, in a way.  When I gave bios 1.6 a try the options for CPU ration only went up to 12.5(stock).  I am starting to think that I got a locked 9850 when it came in a 9850BE box!!!   Is there a MB setting I am missing or anything?  This is starting to drive me nuts.
Any help would be great!! thank you
PS
AOD also shows all options to change CPU Ratio grayed out.... Could having D.O.T.3 Step settings disabled mess this up?
Is There something that has to be physically set to allow this on the MB?... Which would be a 1st for me?

  • MSI K9A2 Plat. & BIOS 1.0B3 3/17/08

    Hello,
    I was hoping some of you could answer a question for me. I ordered a AMD Phenom 9850 X4 BE and was needing to know if the MSI K9A2 Plat. & BIOS 1.0B3 3/17/08 revison will work with this processor????? I don't really want to update the bios no more than I have to...
    Thanks,

    I don't really know, but 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 BIOS all indicate Changes for CPU's.  In the past with other brands I have seen to BIOS improperly recognize the CPU, but the CPU functioned well most times, but there were exceptions.
    The Beta BIOS are not listed  where I looked. But you date seems newer than 1.4.  Unless someone more knowledgeable rolls along, I would just try it with the new CPU.

  • 990FXA-GD65 AMD 970 BE CPU Ratio Only working on one core

    Pretty much cut & paste of the "990FXA-GD80 AMD 955 BE CPU Ratio Only working on one core" thread.
    I have overclocked this AMD 970 BE previously on a asus m3n72-d without issue. Always changing the multiplier to achieve the desired frequency while leaving the FSB at 200. But, after setting up everything on my new 900fxa-gd65 the CPU ratio change to 19x with a fsb of 200 only changes one core to 3.8 ghz and leaves the others at 3.5 ghz (17.5x 200).

    Already contacted MSI tech support, for whatever good it does me.
    Just thought I'd make a new thread to seperate the issue between the two MSI boards.
    -d

    For what its worth, the problem should be fixed in the latest BETA UEFI/BIOS Release:

    Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

    If you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
    Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
    I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs.

  • Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

    Hi all,
    Which BIOS settings would you recommend for this combination:
    MSI K8N Plat
    3000+ Venice core
    2 x 512 MB GEIL value RAM
    I have NorthQ Giant UFO cooler attached to CPU. I would like to have as fast system as possible but remain on the safe side - a 100% stable system.... I know default would be safe enough but wouldn't use the potential of the CPU, I gues....

  • MSI K9A2 CF - Bios A7388AMS.1A2 - HELP ME!!!

    My pc work in 100% on bios 1.8 and I'm update bios to A7388AMS.1A2. Please tell me what i must do to recovery 1.8. I see black screen and Leds on front side computer don't work. I'm don't head any voice(beep) and my computer don't start without unpluged usb device. This is AMI bios.
    My computer:
    MSI K9A2 CF
    AMD Phenom x4 920
    Asus Hd4830 512 mb
    Patriot 2x1gb 800MHz 5-5-5-12
    Seagate 160 GB sata
    Keyboard and Mouse: USB

    I was going to install and try them. My biggest problem is with the fact that MSI is currently misrepresenting their product by merging the V1 with the V2 CPU support list completely. Didn't you see what I said about the CPU support list and my calls to MSI tech support regarding the sudden 125W CPU support? Perhaps you can explain why this was done and enlighten me as to why MSI employees have stated that they are in fact supported? I'd call them right now, ask yet again, and probably get the same answer, but, it's Saturday.
    Could you also explain why if there are such obvious issues with these BIOS versions (no USB support? only 1 DIMM support?) that they are still listed at all. Even worse is the fact that 1.9 is active within the Live Update database. That, to me, is an obvious oversight and borders on blatant incompetence. And yes, I am frustrated and venting some of that... I apologize.
    In my case, even with one of these CPUs installed using 1.8, there would be no power to OC either one. The only reason I purchased them both was because of what MSI told me about 125W support, and these aren't even close to that. I might be able to take the 7850 to 3.0Ghz or the Callisto to 3.3 if I were to also under-volt them, but that's not always successful. I suppose I should be happy I at least get a little more speed along with some L3 cache using one of these, but I am not. I truly wish I had known this before I wasted money on a CPU I'll never see perform to it's full potential.
    Again, I apologize for seeming so obviously disgruntled. I hope you can understand why I feel this way.

  • MSI K9A2 Platinum stopped working

    Hi, guys.
    I have
    MSI K9A2 Platinum
    AMD Phenom 9950 Quad-Core
    Gigabyte Radeon HD 4850 1GB
    Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 4GB * 2
    and been using it fine for quite some time. I was dabbling in 3DS Max and left a big render job on overnight. The next day my system was dead. When I press the power button the CPU fan spins for 1 second and the LEDs flash on and off. I read these forums and came across this thread: http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=113170.0. The exact same problem. And he fixed it by replacing the PSU. So I thought I should give it a try and replaced my Chieftech 550W with an XFX 650W, but the problem persists. I am thinking it is the CPU since it happened during a render. Any thoughts?
    regards
    Kevin

    Hmm, sounds eeriely familiar to me... what happens if you disconnect the 4pin CPU power connector? Does the fan stay spinning, and the LEDs on the board stay illuminated (but system still does not POST)?
    I had a K9A2 Platinum board for some time, and the same thing happened to me... tried different PSU, CPU and RAM, but it turned out to be a problem with the board's voltage regulator, and I ended up replacing the board...

  • MSI 990FXA-GD65 + AMD FX-6300 + 16GB 1866MHz RAM Won't Boot

    Hello,
    Today I received parts for my new gaming system (sans water cooler, using the stock heatsink+fan until then), however I'm experiencing problems with the setup.  The specs are as follows:
    - MSI 990FXA-GD65
    - AMD FX-6300 CPU
    - GSKILL 16GB (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 RAM
    - Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD
    - 2x MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti
    - EVGA NEX750B1 PSU
    - BitFenix Comrade case
    Upon powering on (after assembly), the Phase Indicator only has the first two LEDs lit up (Phase 2 Power Mode, according to the manual).  No output is displayed on screen.  I've tried removing and re-inserting the CPU and removing one of the graphics cards, to no avail.
    I would appreciate any help/advise that could be offered, that I might get this system up and running!
    Kind Regards

    Try to run this system out of the case on non conductive area (e.g. plain cardboard) with 1 stick of RAM only, 1 GPU (try without any graphics cards too), single HDD/SSD, PSU of course, CPU+cooler and monitor+keyboard and mouse. When booting spam Delete and it should take you to the BIOS where you have to change timings of RAM suggested in the post about GSkill memory.
    If possible, borrow different brand of RAM to test your PC with.
    Make sure that if you're running single GPU, that video cable is connected to the card. If no GPU, then to the motherboard.

  • MSI K9A2 CPU Error. Failed Overclocking....

    hi, i was wondering if anyone can help me this this random problem i jus encountered.
    I own a MSI K9A2 platinum MB and i have never gotten any problems with it until now.
    when my pc boots up i get an error in red saying "Warning!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed. the default setting has been restored, press any key except del to enter setup"
    however when i try to press any key it doesnt work. nothing i do worked. at first i thought there was a missconnection with the keyboard because it was wirless so then i tried a wired 1. and still nothing works. i even connected the USB keyboard to the PS/2 pin connector using a adapter but still nothing works.
    i donno if there is a misconnection wit my keyboard or if my CPU has blown out. but i dont ever remember overclocking my CPU. i have no clue how this problem happened. does anyone know where i should take it form here? any help will be appreciated . thank you.
    here is a basic list of my hardware, im sorry if i cant be more detailed i am currently at work:
    AMD Phenom 9500 64-bit Quadcore
    K9A2 Platinum
    OCZ DDR3-1066MHZ (3x2GB) 6GB total
    Radeon 512MB (sry dont know the exact model #)

    Thanks for the response, it was the reply I didn't want to hear but was totally expecting.
    I have accepted that the only way forward now is a motherboard upgrade.
    The downside of this is that I have lost faith in MSI, and while I recognize that the fault here lies with the retailer who sold me this bundle I do not wish to be burned againi.
    If anyone can recommend an MSI Motherboard capable of running the FX-6100 for a reasonable price, and can vouch that the throttling does not happen without the need for a third party cooling solution... then I will look into it. If not I have found a Gigabyte branded motherboard capable of 125w CPU's with good reviews for a similar price to the 760GM-P23.
