MSI Motherboard Warranty??

Hi just wondering if there was a warranty on MSI Motherboards in Canada and how long is it good for?
I bought a K9AG-Neo Digital 2 I think it was called early 2008 and it seemed to have a total break down the other day. 
I went looking for the store I bought it at and they appeared to be closed now.  Will I get any warranty on this?
I'd like to know ASAP.  I haven't had any response from the Support Request and I don't see any number to call either.
So..if I need something new I want to get it as soon as possible.
thanks!!

Hey there.....not sure where someone got the idea I had a X2 4200+ in my board, unless you were looking at my original registration info.  I used to have that cpu about 7 months ago before I upgraded.  I never overclock cpu's or anything as I don't know enough about that subject to risk anything.  I do a lot of video rendering with After Effects CS3 and I wanted to upgrade to more RAM someday soon and see what kind of positive effect multiprocessing would have on it with the quad core.  As a matter of fact, I was doing a video rendering when I came back in the room to find this "horrible accident scene."
As for the store, it was in Kelowna, BC (Canada) on Highway 33.  I did a search on the internet today and I don't see the same store there anymore.  It wasn't a huge store, just a guy and his crew repair and upgrading and selling a few computers.  I should be able to track down the name of the company at least after calling nearby people.  I'm in a different city though 130 kms away (Osoyoos, BC) and it's really tiny!!
What other info should I give?  The powersupply and case were new from the same guy.  He sold them to me together.  He had a great respect for MSI saying they had the best policies and he couldn't stand Asus.

  • How long is the MSI motherboard Warranty??

    I can't find it anywhere on their web-site?

    Yes you will deffinately need to contact them........I think their warranty policy is different.....something closer to 1 yr.

  • Access to SATA RAID-5 array without an MSI motherboard?

    I have (had) an MSI K8N Diamoond Plus motherboard, and used it to create a bootable SATA RAID-5 array of three 300Gb Western Digital disks.  Two years later, the motherboard developed a serious problem with the memory access, and now it won't POST beyond the memory initialization. So it's fried. I've tried multiple memory modules in multiple configs, and nothing helps.
    OK, no problem, new motherboard and I'm good to go. Only this isn't an MSI motherboard, and it's an Intel chipset. So, the RAID array isn't recognized.
    Are there any software tools that can reconstruct the RAID array when running on a non-nvidia chipset motherboard? Is there any other solution besides buy a new MSI motherboard?
    And, if I have to get a new MSI motherboard to solve this, what's the cheapest currently available motherboard that would be compatible with the RAID established on the original K8N Diamond Plus?

    Well, I'm not 100% sure which controller was doing the RAID. I'm thinking the SIL, but I beleive it was nvidia software drivers in windows that re-constructed the RAID-5 once when I replaced a drive.  Can you buy a standalone nVidia RAID controller, anyway?
    You were using Nvidia RAID, with Silicon can't do RAID5.

  • Missing back of PC cover for MSI motherboard

    Hello I have looked high and low, I purchased an MSI motherboard about a year ago, it shipped without the silver metal cutout which covers the back of the motherboard (the connectors) and keeps out dust and stray RF.  I have been having a fair amount of crashes lately and it's because this is missing and stray radio waves are interfering and crashing my computer.
    The system board I have is:  MSI 880GM-E41 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
    Where can I purchase a replacement cover for this system board please??  Surely someone can help.
    Thanks

    You're PC crashes are not likely to be caused by stray RFI. You must have something else causing the crashes. There are plenty of us that have before and run now PCs outside of a case with no I/O shield and the metal case to shield the MB from RFI so whoever gave you the idea that RFI is causing the crash problem is wrong.
     No harm in trying to find the I/O plate/shield but you need to look at other possible causes for the crashing.
     First thing you need to do here is provide a list of the components in the PC so we can help you find the real cause of your problem.
    You would think that, but my PC actually drives a 50W UHF paging transmitter for a community, and we've traced down the crashes to whenever a specific paging message is transmitted.  If I lower the power output of the paging transmitter to a few watts it doesn't crash the PC.  This is a little more power than your normal home.  I will check the link provided by the poster above.

  • I want to replace a MS-7646M1 with another MSI motherboard

    Hello,
    I want to replace my MS-7646M1 (Medion) motherboard with another MSI motherboard, does someone knows the best replacement with te same connectors (front panel)?
    Manual of the motherboard: http://www.medionowners.be/downloads/0MB_MS7646%5B1%5D.pdf
    Thanks
    KingWolf

    If you're using the existing case, then any MSI m-ATX Socket AM3 board will fit, and you should be able to use your existing CPU and RAM. But be warned, these Medion PCs usually come with junk PSUs, so you may want to replace that also.
    Better to just buy a new case, then you can use any size board and PSU you like.

  • Trying to identify a MSI motherboard

    A friend gave me his PC & I am gonna format its hard drive and reload XP from scratch on it. Also, they want me to max out its RAM. I originally thought it was a DELL 3000 desktop & could hold 2GB of RAM, but after talking to him, I learned that the motherboard had been replaced a while back. He told me his original DELL computer got zapped by a storm so he had to have the motherboard replaced. Its now apparently an MSI motherboard since I can see a big "MSI" printed on it after I open the case.
    Since I'm not sure exactly what motherboard is in there, what is the best way to identify it? I've seen the free scanner on MSI's website that helps identify it and be able to tell you what drivers it needs (something I will need to use as well), but is there maybe a free MSI download that can tell me what I have and identify the motherboard part number. Therefore, I can then determine how much memory it can hold and what I need to buy. Or maybe there is something else I should simply look for physically printed on the motherboard?

    OK, got it and found the driver page. Its a PM8M-V motherboard and here is the driver page for it.
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/PM8M-V.html#/?div=Driver&os=XP%2032
    However, I am now having an issue with one of the drivers. 32bit XP & here is what I needed & have successfully installed so far:
    - chipset driver (very first thing to install)
    - audio driver
    Also downloaded & installed XP Service Pack 3. Now, I tried installing the video driver listed on this support page (for its integrated video). I tried running the 'setup' file, but that didn't work. It keeps giving me a message saying that it was unable to load the software and to go to the Windows directory log for details.  It then aborts the installation.  What is this? I tried to install the video driver manually, but that didn't work either.
    I even tried running the live update 5 software in automatic mode, but that apparently didn't work either & I am still getting a yellow question mark for video in the device manager. Any idea what is going on here and how to install this motherboard's video driver properly?

    The BIOS page for that board http://www.msi.com/support/mb/P965_Neo.html#down-bios shows that there is no such BIOS version and none of the dates coincide either. The first BIOS version for that board precedes your date, so if it is the chip model number that you provided, then MSI must have changed the BIOS chips about 2 months after the board was released 
    Can you get into the BIOS on boot up to check the exact version of the flashed BIOS.

  • MSI motherboard model number location?

    Hi...........I have a simple question.  I bought, from a private party, a recently built computer with a Pentium 4 2.53 GHZ processsor, running Windows XP Pro.  It has an MSI motherboard in it.  The builder doesn't know the exact model number of the mobo. 
    The builder forgot to install a driver for the SM Bus Controller.   I need to download the driver for it, but before I can do that, I need the mobo model number.  I've taken the side cover off and have looked for a model number.  I don't see anything that looks like a model number. 
    In addition to the SM Bus Controller driver, I also want to download the instruction manual and anything else concerning this board.
    Almost in the very middle of the board is "MSI" in large white letters.  This is right above the agp slot for the video card.  I don't see any numbers close to it that would be what I'm looking for. 
    It's not the most recent socket.  Would this possibly be socket 478?  I'm just not sure.  There is a chip labeled MSI Core Cell.
    There is also a small white upc code with a number on it, which I assume could be the serial number.  It's a 10 digit number with a letter for the second digit.  I wonder if there is somewhere in the MSI site that cross references serial numbers with model numbers?
    I check Windows system information to see what it would tell me.
    This is what it showed:
    System Manufacturer:                Micro-Star Inc.
    System model:                          MS-6728
    System type:                            x86 based PC
    Processor:                                x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 7 Genuine Intel ~2533 Mhz
    I've done some searches on the MSI site for MS 6728 but have had no results.
    I can't think of anything else that might help identify this board.  With the information I've provided, can anyone give me a clue where to look for the model of the board?
    Thanks for your assistance. 

    Thanks to all that replied to my post.  I had a sudden realization that I could Google the number MS 6728, which is a MSI part number, not the model number.  Unfortunately, I had this epiphany after I posted.  I was able to find a picture of the board.  It's actually a 865 PE Neo 2 Platinum. 
    Thanks for the google hint!
    About the only place I didn't look was between the PCI slots, which is what the provided link indicated.  I looked, and there it was!
    Thanks again.

  • I have MSI motherboard and MSI GE2Ti 64MB and can\'t get over 30 fps

    I am addicted to playing CS, I used to have a PIII 866 motherboard that crashed.  I bought a MSI motherboard with a Celeron 1.7 and I have a MSI Ge2Ti 64MB DDR video card.  I used to have over 70 fps when playing in the old days, however with this new motherboard I cant get over 30 fps.  I thought that my video card was the culprit and I bought a new ATI Radeon 9000 with 128 MB DDR.  After installing it, I still have less than 30 fps  ?(   ;(
    Before I purchased the Radeon, I tried tweaking the videocard with the rivatuner, but I had no great success.
    The motherboard has a built-in video, can it be conflicting with the AGP card?
    My motherboard is a MS-6524 and my video card is a MSI Ge2-Ti model 8855
    Any help is appreciated!

    Running a P4 (or celeron4) with SDR memory results in very poor preformance, it's basicly ment for office/internet use.
    That I would expect is a big part of the slowness, in fact a celeron 1.7 with SDR could very well be slower than the PIII 866 in many aspects.
    Remember the P4 1.5 wuth RDRAM using the i850 chipset was barely any faster than the PIII 1.0GHz at the time it was released!
    It might be a little late now, but if you need to keep your RAM the only CPUs today that could get something out of SDR are the AthlonXP's and PIII/Celeron socket370.
    And AthlonXP 1800+ costs about the same as the celeron 1700 you have and a basic board with SiS735 or VIA KT133A chipset will cost about the same.

  • MSI motherboard and FX processor

    Hello all.
    I have plans to buy the MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) to build a secondary rig with an AMD FX-8350. It would be at stock speeds, stock cooler, not overclocking.
    The question that molests me is: Would I get enough stability with that motherboard? The website says the CPU is compatible, but, I have doubts about the thermal capacity of these 760G motherboards. Because my FX-6300 seems to be running on the edge with a similar motherboard (other model, worse, less TDP limit). The cause of such borderline might be the lack of heatsink in the VRMs, that being heated up, might cause throttling on the processor.
    If I go with this motherboard, I want to be sure I will have a stable and normal experience. I will not overclock or do anything expensive with that rig, only to use it for video encoding and other expensive tasks while stock. And unfortunately I am not able to spend more money that the cost of the said MSI motherboard.
    As always, any tip or opinion will help me alot. Thanks.

    I have requested info from MSI directly, not to worry. Shall post it for the user community when I get it.
    Thanks very much...yes, looking at the supported cpu list doesn't answer that question, unfortunately, and the information is nowhere to be found in the specs for the Gaming 970....  My current G46-970a mboard has been excellent for my FX-6300 6-core running at 4.5GHz (on air, stock voltage), with the G46's TDP of 125W max--because my cpu TDPs @95W.  It's been stable and solid as a rock for the ~ couple of years I've owned it.
    However, I was thinking that if the 970-Gaming is not just a superficial revamp of the G46-970a--with different audio components and a different color scheme--it surely might do better than the G46-970a's 125W TDP, which would mean I could use it with an FX-83xx without any fear of it overloading the board.  You are certainly correct in discerning that this is what I want to know...  I'm sure I'm not the only one.  Thanks very much, again, and will look forward to your post when they decide to release this information...!  If the Gaming 970 is also a 125W TDP board there is just no point in looking at it since I will already own a mboard that is ~95% identical.  Hopefully they'll have addressed this situation with the "gaming" motherboard, as the moniker implies overclocking--otherwise, they'd be better to just offer a "G46B", or a "G47"...I should think.

  • [Motherboard] MSI Motherboard supported NVMe device. 3X Faster

     [Motherboard] MSI Motherboard supported NVMe device. Comes Testing of X99S GAMING 7 and Intel P3700
    Here is third party news, please check PVEVA review as below
    ------------------------resource：http://bbs.pceva.com.cn/thread-113902-1-1.html------
    I heard that MSI has updated BOIS recently. From now on, all the 9 Series motherboards support NVMe device. As a result, I borrowed a NVMe SSD Intel DC P3700 400GB from MSI and tested it
    Intel DC P3700 have equipped with PCIe 3.0 x4 slot，capacity from 400GB to 2TB，what I borrowed is 400GB version just looks like normal PCIe SSD.
    Why the SSD uses PCIe?
    SATA 6Gb/s is fulfilled with traditional Hard Disk, but the speed is far from the SSD. With the PCIe, it helps to increase and extend the connection function. And help to improve the performance.。
    AHCI compare to NVMe
    While Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) interface has the benefit of legacy software compatibility, it does not deliver optimal performance when a SSD is connected via PCI Express bus. NVMe has been designed from the ground up, capitalizing on the low latency and parallelism of PCI Express SSDs, and fulfilling the parallelism of contemporary CPUs, platforms and applications. NVMe brings various performance improvements is the reason why it was burned
     The NVM Express, Inc. is directed by a thirteen-member board of directors selected by the promoter group, which includes Avago Technologies, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Intel, NetApp, Oracle etc. and develop by around eighty companies.
    NVM Express, NVMe, or Non-Volatile Memory Host Controller Interface Specification (NVMHCI), is a specification for accessing solid-state drives (SSDs) attached through the PCI Express (PCIe) bus.
    The biggest advantage of NVMe is the lowest latency. Because of streamlined storage stack method, NVMe can command without registers. However, each command of AHCI needs four unbuffered registers and it will cause 2.5 μs data latency.
    The other important revolution of NVMe is supporting more queues and this technology can enhance Muti-Core of CPU’s performance; the IOPS will not be influenced by single-core of CPU.
    Enterprise market will be huge benefits from NVMe. NVMe technology could reduce the HD loading and extend the battery life indirectly.
    In conclusion, PCIe hardware interface brings a high-bandwidth (sustained R/W performance), thank for native PCIe controller, it reduces latency controller (R/W performance under low QD upgrade, if it is directly connected to the CPU PCIe lanes , the performance is more obvious when the CPU overclocked). Also, NVMe software interface software is reduced latency of software.(random R/W performance of multi-core CPU under high QD)
    Let’s comes to the actual testing. To avoid decrease the Link Speed of graphic card, we put P3700 at second PCIe slot.X99S Gaming 7 supported the NVMe from the BIOS version 17.6 last year.
    Test basic：
    CPU：Intel Core i7-5960X
    Motherboard：MSI X99S GAMING 7
    Memory：Avexir DDR4-2400 4GBx4
    Graphics card：MSI GTX 660 TwinFrozr
    HD：
    Plextor PX-128M2P（system）
    Intel DC P3700 400GB（Test 1）
    Plextor PX-G512M6e（Test 2）
    Power supply：SilverStone SX-600G
    Cooler：Noctua NH-D14
    OS：Windows 8.1 Update 3
    The driver from intel official website is much more compatibility than the NVMe driver original from Win 8.1.
    Download link : https://downloadcenter.intel.com ... =3810&DwnldID=23929
    During the testing, we need to do security eraser several times, therefore; we need to download the Intel Data Center.
    Download link : https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=23931
    Device manager of P3700 NVMe device in Windows 8.1
    SMART information should be checked from Intel Data Center. CrystalDiskInfo can’t read
    Wear Leveling:
    The following is benchmark test. ASSSD Benchmark and CrystalDiskMark software cannot push SSD performance to extreme level, so we use TxBench to test the performance of 32GB data transmission. TxBench in Win8.1 with native driver, sequential read is up to 1375MB/s and write is 1072MB/s. In 4K single QD test, there is not big difference between SATA3.0 and PCIe. In other side, the performance of 4K QD32 test, SATA3.0 is 50% better than PCIe.
    After installing NVMe driver, the performance of sequential R/W is dramatically improvement. Especially in read function, the performance is directly double to 2800MB/s, achieving the highest level we never saw. It’s the real performance of this SSD.
    As I mentioned before, native PCIe controller could decrease the latency of SDD. The R/W performance increase after CPU overclock to 4G as well.
    Compare to PCIE 2.0 x2 AHCI by Plextor PX-G512M6e
    overall review：
    Conclusion:
    I just introduce the overview of VVMe technology and the Intel P7300 basic performance. We found out that the advantages of NVMe comparing to the AHCI, it will be more and more common in the future.
    MSI 9 series motherboards supported NVMe device. Although NVMe is not popular, MSI keep the scalability of the motherboards. In the next article, we will test P3700 under business environment to see the performance and advantage.

  • MSI motherboards and usb 2.0

    Does anyone know why usb products don't recognise that the MSI motherboards usb 2.0 or vice versa.
    I have several computers all with msi mbs but not one has usb 2.0 as when i put in a usb item a banner appears that says that it would work better in a usb 2.0 port, the box says they are all USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 compatible.
    is there a patch to sort this out?
    Thanks in advance

    There's probably a setting in BIOS to enable or disable USB 2.0 support along with a similar option for legacy USB (1.1) support.  Take a look at your particular setting.
    Of course the other possibility is that 2.0 works on the back but doesn't work on the front.  In that case I think it is almost always the wiring from the mobo USB connector to the front panel receptacles.
