MSI P35 boards question about PCIe 1.0a/1.1 vs PCIe 2.0 compatibility

As release date of AMD.ATI new videocards with PCI Express 2.0 (2950 serie) gets near then these questions and answers may become important...
...this is related to actual mainboard lineup (P35 Diamond, P35 Neo, P35 Neo Combo, P35 Neo2, P35 Neo2-FR/FIR, P35 Platinum, P35 Platinum Combo,P35D3 Platinum)
Q: What PCI-express version is on MSI P35 mainboards?
* Website says 1.0a, in manual there is no PCIe build version at all, FAQ nothing and by specification P35 is supposed to hold 1.1 http://download.intel.com/products/chipsets/P35/317304.pdf
A: ?
Q: Are upcoming PCI-express 2.0 cards compatible with MSI P35 mainboards?

Officially, P35 & ICH9(R) does NOT support PCIe 2.0
But the P35 chipset actually supports the PCI-Express 2.0 specifications ...
Anyway, to be out of troubles, you should consider an upgrade to X38.

  • P35 Neo Questions about USB boot speed

    Hi all,
    I setup a MSI P35 neo2 system over the past month and I am having one issue that is SLOWING me down..
    When booting from any USB stick in any USB port it seems like the mobo is using USB1 or USB1.1.  So my PE 2.0 takes about 15 minutes to boot.  I have searched the forums and net over and over and found nothing.  Tried disabling USB Legacy support, which only makes the bios not recognize the USB stick.  I have 3 bootable vista pe USB sticks and I boot 10 different dell models, NF4 and the Abit.  They all boot at USB2 speeds (less than 1 min).  I checked all the ports in windows with everest and sandrasoft, all seem to work fine in windows, but booting is still slow.  Is there some secret menu to turn on usb 2.0 only in the bios?  My Abit P35 system has no problems like this, but I really like the MSI!
    TIA

  • Msi Lightning 770 - question about boost

    Hey. On my new Lightning i had 1228max boost. When most peoples had 1254mhz or 1241mhz.. Its ok or not?
    Will be any difference in fps on games like COD GHOSTS or BF4 between my 1228mhz vs 1241 vs 1254mhz ?

    Enough of this. Obviously you have yourself the 5th GTX770 Lightning by now after rma over rma for nothing. You have been told about Boost 2.0 multiple times now. No one's here to waste his time with your always repeating questions about issues that are no issues. 
    As you have been told already default boost clockrate is 1202Mhz. Everything above is a matter of the individual sample and luck. As you wasted nicely clocking samples your current sample is at a lower but still perfectly fine clockrate of 1228Mhz. Be happy with that or - like it has been suggested a couple of times before - finally stay away from computer stuff.

  • P35 Neo Questions about USB boot speed (New query)

    i see it's an old topic but i have the same problem with slow USB Boot on a MSI P35 Neo2-FR mainboard.
    i have tried something like 5 different USB drives and all are the same. the problem is when it's tring to boot from USB. there is some missing support for USB booting from BIOS , i don't know.
    i had a BIOS from 2008 and i have updated to the latest version but nothing solved my problem.
    i have tried to boot from USB with a linux live environment, windows live CD or i have tried to install windows from USB drive. all of them with very slow reading (instead of max 2-3 min loading time it takes almost 20-25min at least..).
    when the system (windows) loads up the speed of reading the USB drives increse dramatically and all things gets back to normal.
    with the same USB drive on several computers all the above works without any delay or very slow reading. so this i think it's the motherboard or the motherboard BIOS but i don't have a clue on how to fix this issue.
    any help will be more than appreciated. thank you.

    AngelTudorache please read the Forum Rules and don't resurrect nearly 4 year old threads.  >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
    Please post your full system specs >>Posting Guide<<
    Do you use the case USB ports or the MB USB ports ? Have you tested the MB USB ports by disconnecting the case USB headers ?
    Suggest you transfer a large file from the HDD to a USB device or from a USB device to the HDD and monitor the transfer speeds. Anything between 15 and 30mb/s is normal for USB2.

  • Question about MSI Z87 boards and NVMe PCI-E SSDs

    With the release of the Intel SSD 750 PCI-E SSD and more NVMe SSDs no doubt to follow, will the older motherboards like the Z87 series get updates so that they can boot with NVMe SSDs?
    All of the Z97 and X99 boards already have compatibility:
    http://www.msi.com/news/1949.html
    What about older chipsets like Z87, Z77? Z87 in particular is very similar to Z97, so I'd imagine it'd be the most likely candidate.

    Yeah I did.

    Did anyone get an answer from MSI.
    MSI is there going to be a BIOS release to support the ability to boot off of nvme PCIe cards for the M87 boards?
    MSI Tech.   05/14/2015   We unfortunately do not have any information regarding any future support for these series boards and supporting NVMe, you , you may continue to visit our news section for updates as they become available. http://us.msi.com/news/
    I think is possible though - that and it's likely these boards may support Broadwell as well.

  • MSI P45 Diamond : Question about voltages and straps.

    Hi,
    Before I start a post with my overclocking problems I want to learn more about the board and have a few questions:
    1. OC Jumpers: What do they exactly do, do the increase any voltages, do the change the nb strap or do they only increase the fsb. If they do not change the strap, when/where does the board change it 266/333/400?
    2. What is the maximum safe voltages for the mch,ich,fsb?
    3. New BIOS: Does anyone know when can we expect one or where can I download a beta that is newer than 1.4.
    Ok, my problem is that I can overclock past 390. I can get 400 but it is not stable in windows. I first want tolearn how the board works before I discuss my oc problem.
    PC Specs:
    MSI P45 Diamond (v1.4 Bios)
    Intel Q9300 (ran 2000fsb on a xfx 780i)
    4x1gb Transcend aXeram DDR3-1800+

    The jumpers change the strap & the FSB Frequency:
    When you have an FSB-266 MHz processor and put the jumpers into the 333 MHz position, the FSB Clock Speed will be forced to 333 MHz and the BIOS treats the CPU as though it is an FSB-333-MHz Processor, that means even after a CMOS Clear, the FSB Clock Speed will be 333 MHz and FSB/Memory Ratio will be adjusted automatically based on that strap and the SPD Tables of your memory modules.

    2. What is the maximum safe voltages for the mch,ich,fsb?
    The Intel Datasheet for the P45 Chipset should give you a basic overview on voltage ranges.  However, you may need to exceed these ranges, in some cases, depending on your overclock to keep the system stable.  You will find nobody, that will seriously be willing to tell you the "maximum safe voltage" as every voltage increase is potentially dangerous to your the components.  Welcome to overclocking.

    3. New BIOS: Does anyone know when can we expect one or where can I download a beta that is newer than 1.4.
    The latest BETA I know about so far is v1.5b1.

  • Basic questions about PCI-DIO-96

    Hi
    I am trying to write code to control a digital I/O board for the first time.
    I have a legacy board, PCI-DIO-96, as the code implies, it is a PCI digital I/O boiard with 96 I/O channels
    My first question is, what would be the drivers and development platform I should download for this board?
    I am planning to write my code in C++.
    The second question is, I am trying to write a very simple application to drive 96 solenoid valves through the board.
    Basically I need to use the board in output mode only.  No data gathering here.
    The application basically needs to open and close these valves  for a specified number of milliseconds.  So basically,
    I would be sending either 0 or 1 through the output channels, that's
    it.    If I send a "1" signal through the board, does
    that
    "toggle" the channel, meaning the channel will keep sending "1" through the ouput until I send another signal, or do I need
    to send the "1" signal every few milliseconds to simulate a constant "1" signal?
    Does anyone have code samples or know where I can find code samples illustrating this simple case?
    It would be greatly appreciated.
    I realize these are very basic questions, but I am new to hardware programming and I am on a deadline.
    Thank  you
    Kiko

    Hi Kiko,
    Great to see that you are asking questions here first, you definitely came to the right place.
    Since you are starting with a clean slate as far as knowing how to use this board we can start off on the right foot. 
    Download the latest version of the drivers for your board.  You can find the drivers here: NI-DAQmx Version 7.5 for Windows 2000/NT/XP
    After you have downloaded the drivers, power down the computer,
    insert your board, and power it back up.  The board should now be
    recognized and the drivers will install similarly to any new hardware
    would in Windows.
    Now it's just a matter of learning how to use the commands that you need to get started.
    I would recommend starting in the example files.  You can find
    some excellent examples that should do almost exactly what you are
    trying to do by looking in this path:
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Digital\Generate Values
    Look for the example that best represents what it is you are trying to
    do.  You will notice that all of the examples have a general flow
    to how they call the board.
    Create a Task and Define what that task is meant to do
    Set the configuration for how exactly that task will operate
    Read/Write various values until a condition is met
    Close the Task
    Error Check all operations to assure that everything is working properly
    It's really not all that difficult and should you run into any problems or errors don't forget to search ni.com or the forums to see if others have run into similar issues to what you are facing.
    Regarding how the states for digital lines work.  The short answer
    is that if you set a digital line to high it will stay high until you
    set it back to low and vice versa.  For more details on everything
    digital check out our Digital Fundamentals page.
    Best of luck!

  • Question about PCI 7830r

    I have a PCI 7830r board. I need to output a sinewave voltage output.I saw several examples using buffered DMA output to do that. But in FPGA Wizard, in the step of choosing time engines, there is only " Buffered DMA input", no "Buffered DMA output" can be chosen. Is that a software problem or something else? My FPGA dirver is Ni-RIO 2.4.1. 
    Great thanks!

    Hi 51high,
    There's an example program named "Sine Generator - R Series.lvproj". You could find this at Help>>Find Examples... Once the NI Example Finder is launched, go to the "Search" tab and type "Sine Generator". Double click on the project name to open it.
    This example uses the sine wave generator VI in the FPGA library. I think that using this VI is the most straight forward way to generate a sine wave.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers!

  • MSI P45 Neo (question about new bios v1.9)

    Hi!
    2009-04-03 MSI releasen new BIOS v1.9 to MSI P45 Neo
    Fixed: - Disabled 5V USB function under S4/S5.
    Tell me plz - what that mean ? It's very recommended update or not?
    Many thanks!

    If you have no problems with the BIOS Version you are currently using, there is no need to update the BIOS (and it is not recommended to do that either).
    Quote
    Tell me plz - what that mean ?
    S4 - State = Hibernation
    S5 - State = Shutdown-State
    The BIOS Update should turn off the 5V power supply to the USB Ports when the system is shutdown (S5) or in Hibernation State (S4). 

  • Question about MSI K8N SLI Platinum

    i have a question about this mobo.
    my previous msi boards had a feature where if u overclocked too much, and the system couldnt handle it, it would load the default settings in the bios. I really liked this feature and am wondering if it will be present in this board.
    is it?

    sorry m8 after that post i double checked and i thought you were talking about neo1 - didnt notice the SLI bit  .  i think a couple of others got caught by that one too.
    so i did some investigating:
    it uses the same award phoenix bios 6.00PG as neo1 and 2.  every board i have owned since kt266a fom various manufacturers with that bios has had that feature. plus the insert key trick even works on a lot of 486 and early pentium 1 machines.  i am still 99% sure it will put it that way.

  • Question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1

    I have a quick question about setup_MITE in the PCI-MIO-16E-1. In one of the manuals, it states that if you're using Dell Optiplex GX series for our hardware configuration, is it true we need to re-write the MITE functions to correlate with the hardware? Please if you can clarify what this means, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

  • Is MSI P35 Neo compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters?

    I've just bought a 1 Tb Samsung USB3 powered external HDD.  Currently I only have USB2 ports which can't handle the transfer speed of USB3.  Is my MSI P35 Neo mainboard compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters, if I were to fit one?
    Thanks in advance
    Pedro

    If it is an add-on card, it should work if the drivers are properly installed.
    However, if you need more information on compatibility results, I suggest that you log a technical support ticket with MSI.

  • Hi Everyone Im New, Got Question About Upgrading MSI GT60 0ND With SSD

    Hi Everyone I'm New, Got Question About Upgrading MSI GT60 0ND With SSD.
     :welcome:So As I've stated I'm new here, or at least got a new MSI notebook.
    Ive got the new MSI gt60 0ND with 750GB HD and 675 Ge-Force GTX , anyways to the bottom line.
    I would like to Upgrade my computer with SSD that I bought and install the win8 on it, in order to speed things up, but I have encountered a few problems..
    1. there is no sticker on the back of the computer that gives information about the serial number of my windows 8...
    2. lets say in some magical way I could get the serial number out, can I use it to reinstall ? because Ive heard that you cannot use this CD key anyways unless you got a special win8 installation CD key from MSI because its MSI branded windows 8.
    am I screwed    ? ?? ? I thought it is possible to upgrade with SSD but it seems like MSI made it very hard, I do not understand why they even putted the warranty void sticker on the expansion bay's .... WEIRD..
    Please help !! Thanks in advance,
