Msi P35 platinum: bios auto-raises NB & SB voltages when fsb over 316

Why does this happen when I'm overclocking FSB in bios and reaching over 316, NB voltage goes 1.250V->1.450V and SB I/O Power 1.5V->1.8V automatically. Both are in red text after this.
Of course, I can try to lower these settings back to normal but never tried.. I've just left these raised voltage settings because everything is running fine (now E2140@2816MHz,352FSB). But are these settings safe (NB 1,45V and SB I/O 1,8V) ??
I know that raising NB voltage is necessary when raising up FSB but SB I/O Power voltage?
Should I try lower these voltages and see if my computer is still stable?
I have bios v1.6, mobo msi p35 platinum rev1.1...
Please help me

this is probably due to overclock jumper's setting for FSB STRAP(200/266/333).
With my Neo 2 Fr (pretty similar) about the same happen to me but at 382...then I moved the jumper to the 333 setting (see manual) and no more change in voltage of NB and SB over 382.
If you do so, be careful on your setting before the change of position of the jumper as it automaticaly add 67 mhz to the FSB and so the system may not start because of too high cpu freq. Be careful also on memory multiplier (before the change set it to 1:1 or calculate the ram freq. (FSB+67 mhz and your memory multiplier)) as the system may not start because of the RAM.
However even if it not start after 2-3 reboot it start in safe mode(as after OC) and you can change the settings.
My advice:I think your cpu fsb by default is 200, if so and if you don't plan to go over 382 set the jumper to 266 (you should be ok with voltages until 382mhz of FSB.
Always remember what said over about the +67 mhz on FSB when you move the jumper!!!!

Settings (kindly) requested for MSI P35 Platinum & Q6600 @ 3.6GHz/1600MHz fsb

I want to try to get my Q6600 processor up from 3.0 to 3.6 GHz, though I'd appreciate to get a clue to what settings might be the goal. I have little experience with overclocking, but I think 3.6GHz is a realistic goal.

I can get it boot up at 3.6GHz/1600MHz fsb, by upping cpu volt and others but it fails the Prime95 stress test immediately.

cpu V = 1.375 (too low perhaps?) (default=1.275)
NB V = 1.425 (default=1.250)
SB io V= 1.7 (default=1.5)
SB V= 1.05 (default=1.05)
Before trying to tweak incrementally I hehe would like to try some tested values to start from, and hope I get lucky and can go on from there.

Being somewhat in a hurry, and being a newb, I tried getting the Q6600 to work at 3.6Ghz (400/1600MHz fsb, mult x9), but I couldnt make it stable with Prime95.
Lowering it down to 3.4Ghz seem to be really ok, and it has been stable for some time in Vista x64. Seems i can stick with this and mabye try to tweak it a little later.
I still would like to hear from anyone running the MSI P35 Platinum with Q6600 at 3.6 with air cooling, and learn about their voltages.

I guess I should lower the cpu voltage to try lower the temperature if this thing stays stable the next 12 hours.

Problem installing MSI P35 Platinum & MSI NX8600GT & windows XP

Hi all,
I just bought my MSI P35 platinum mobo and MSI NX8600GT graphics card.
Was trying to install XP on it. During installation, got the following error message :
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:

MSI P35 Platinum keeps crashing

Hello!
I have the following setup:
MSI P35 Platinum w/ 1.6 BIOS
INTEL E6750
CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 2x1GB DDR2 1066
MSI 512MB HD2600XT
PC Power and Cooling PSU 750W Single Rail
WD 80GB SATA HDD w/ OS
SEAGATE 320GB HDD for storage
Since i built this system ive been having several stability issues. Sometimes it will just completely freeze and video will go on standby. Lately whenever i play WOW or COD4 it will just crash the game, the machine is fine but it will quit the game. Ive tried MS memory test and also MEMTEST and both give me no error. Checked HDD for error and there fine. Latest GPU drivers off ATI website. Also when i run CPUZ latencies are wayyy higher than specs. And if i run my mem at 800 it will work fine. I know it may e some settings i have wrong, please help me.
Regards,
Leo Torres

So ill just leave them at 800mhz.
Should i just change the FSB Ratio to lower the RAM to 800MHZ?
Leo,
Use the BIOS default settings.
Your DDR2 modules with 5-5-5-15 at 1.85-1.9V (the default DDR2 voltage on MSI mobos) are running at 800MHz.
And that's because they're DDR2-800 ...
Do not mess up the FSB. INTEL E6750 is a great processor.
You need stability, not troubles!

MSI P35 Platinum EEPROM

Hi, I need some information urgently. My friend owns the Asus M4A79 Deluxe motherboard. I'ts about 2 weeks old now, and he tried to mod his BIOS. It failed, because he didn't follow my precise instructions. Now, he has nothing more than a piece of paper, it's dead.
Is there anyone that can tell me where I can find the EEPROM of my MSI P35 Platinum motherboard? Where is the EEPROM located on the MS-7345 motherboard? I know it'll be an 8-pin IC, which is soldered to the board.
My idea is to do a hotflash, i want to desolder my BIOS chip & solder a IC holder to the board, then, use my mobo as an EEPROM Programmer. I don't want to disasemble my whole PC just to find out that the EEPROM is integrated in the chipset, so if possible, can anyone tell me wheter the MSI P35 Platinum has an EEPROM located on the board & where exactly can I find it?

Quote
I was wondering, isn't it possible to connect his BIOS chip to my motherboard's JSPI1 connector & program it from there?
I highly doubt that. But even if that was possible, how would you want to establish communication from (let's say) DOS to whatever you connect to the JSPI1 header?
Quote
but it's not 100% straight forward, I'll have to read up on this.
I am sure, you will figure it out.
Quote
Also, I'll build the LPT circuit as soon as I have time, but with which tool will I reprogram the chip with?
Oh, you will definately find it, once you do some reading (there are direct links to it in the articles I pointed you to). However, here is a link to the English Download Site of the Czech Programmer that made it:
http://www.volny.cz/rayer/programm/programe.htm
Scroll down until you see a tool called SPIPGM in the list.
When I used the an older version of the tool (after building the described SPI Cable) to reprogram the BIOS Chip of my P45 Platinum after a bad flash, the tool did not entirely support the chip yet (Macronix MX25L3205 in my case). However, it was able to detect it anyway (FlashROM JEDEC ID: EF3016h) and when it does not know its size it will simply prompt you to enter it.
An additional alternativ, which may actually be the fastest way to fix things, would be to simply order a new chip and have it programmed for you with a working BIOS Image. I don't know where you live and what places there are near you that offer this kind of service. Over here in Germany, I know at least one place that does this kind of stuff:

I was considering to use an old ATi Graphics Card as an EEPROM Programmer, since it also has an 8-pin EEPROM with the exact same pinout. The hardware is not problem, I can quickly assemble it, but the software would be the problem, ATi's tools wont program an 8-megabit (1 megabyte) BIOS chip?
Another thing, the LAN ROM of the P35 Platinum, that can also be used?
No idea, never tried that nor have I ever thought about it.
Quote
1.) The 3.3V are connected to 3 pins (WP, Vcc & HLD)
Yep.

2.) There are 4 resistors, 150-ohm? or is it 150-kohm?
150 Ohm

P35 Platinum - BIOS 1.C

Anyone had/seen complaints about not being able to install their OS with BIOS 1.C on a P35 Platinum?
I've verified it's not the optical media, multiple versions/discs of Windows fail.
I've verified it's not the optical drive, internal and USB drive fail.
I want to use AHCI, but have also tried IDE, both SATA control methods fail.
Error messages are erratic. They happen at different times during the installation. The messages themselves are always different. Sometimes a blue screen, sometimes one or more error popups from the install utility, sometimes it just freezes.

Any ideas appreciated.

Ugh , I forgot to increase the voltage to RAM after updating to BIOS 1.C. Apparently even at relaxed/spec clock speed and timings, it will not run at 1.8v. I increased the voltage to 2.2 and everything was back to normal. I should have deducted from the erratic errors that the RAM was the fault. Such an angry, yet relieved feeling once it finally hit me.
Thanks for the help.

[MSI P35 Platinum] Graphics Card Slot

Hello,
I just bought the MSI 560 GTX graphics card. My motherboard is MSI P35 Platinum so i was wondering if i can place the graphics card in the 2nd PCI-E slot or this could occure problems. This is my motherboard:
so my question is: can i put the graphics card in the YELLOW slot? Cause it won't fit in the upper PCI... Thanks

Quote from: Jack on 03-September-11, 19:12:09
Why doesn't it fit? It should fit without problems.
Because of the I/O controller (i think this is it...)
Quote from: Jack on 03-September-11, 19:12:09
You can do that, however, in that slot, the video card will only get x4 lanes assigned to it (instead of x16 lanes in the primary PCI-Express slot).
And what difference does this make?

MSI P35 Platinum Load Plate Cover

On my motherboard (an MSI P35 Platinum), the processor socket has a load plate to cover the CPU after it's put in place. You use the load lever to secure the load plate. But the load lever, on my mobo, requires what feels to me an excessive amount of force to secure the load plate in place. I don't want to damage the processor, so I'm inquiring here. Can anyone with experience tell me how much force is usually required? The CPU is lined up correctly...

It felt like a lot of pressure, just make sure your two notches are lined up and grunt like a man.

MSI P35 Platinum - No fans so no additional Cooling Needed?

Hello,
With the idea of supporting a quiet but powerful system, I had intended to buy the MSI 875X Platinum, but I just saw the new passively cooled MSI P35 Platinum. Can I really get by using the MSI P35 Platinum with no fans or additional cooling, running:
-Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe Processor 2.4GHz, 1066FSB
-4GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400 DDR2-800
-MSI GeForce 8600 GTS NX8600GTS-T2D256EZ-HD Video Card
-Zalman ZM600-HP HeatPipe Cooled 600w PSU
I won't be overclocking; I'd just like an updated, quiet system with power to spare; will be used for photoshop.
Any other comments? Thx.
Scott

Quote from: jsmartin22 on 10-June-07, 22:12:51
Good suggestion; I was unaware of the SilenX Fans, but I reviewed and get the idea--they are excellent for low noise applications, and this is exactly what I want! Thx.
Scott
For those who don't know the Antec P180/P182 has the PSU in a separate chamber at the bottom of the case so it can chuck the cpu's heat straight out of two 120mm fans in top and rear. There is also a 3rd 120mm fan in lower chamber blowing onto the PSU. All three Antec fans are fitted with HI-Med-Low switches. I find Low to be good.
120mm fans push a decent amount of air on low RPM and are much quieter than 90mm.
There is room to fit two more of your own fans on the Upper HD cage. One to draw air in from the front of the case and one that blows straight on the graphics card. If you use both at once it creates a wind tunnel but means you cannot use it for hard drives. Although you could just fit the front fan and have it blow across your HD. I have my disks in the lower chamber to keep their heat away from the motherboard, and have done the wind tunnel option.
If I could change one thing I would have bought slower RPM or adjustable extra fans because they are louder than the built in Antec fans.
Hope this makes sense lol.
To be honest, you don't really need the extra fans if silence is more important, but my room is very warm and I plan to overclock.

Please forgive me starting this again as a New Topic. I thought most of you wouldn't want to read over an old post.....I hope I was right?
I finally have started the ball rolling with my rebuild, I have follwed recommendations and bought the MSI P35 platinum MBO. I am now looking at a Q6600 Quad processor, I now would like to review the compatibility of my other components. Will my Enermax handle the power reqd, should I go for a new heat-sink/cooler? Will my case need replacing? I am concerned with heating after my Pentium 4 processor which radiated like a stove pipe. I have read the P35 does a great job of cooling main reason I chose it. I also would like to quieten fan noise as much as possible, existing set-up is noisy. I hope I can still draw your interest into my plight....I'd rather slow things down and get it right. Thanks in advance

Mine is an Enermax EG701AX-VE (600W) the fan was noisy and did get a bit rattly in my previous P4N Diamond 7160 + Northwood EE set up and the exhaust air was very warm. Since I upgraded to the P35 Platinum 7345 + Q6600 the fan is now quiet as I can turn it down to minimum and the exhaust air is still cool.
I read the reviews on all the CPU coolers and the best budget one seems to be the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro7. I was looking for a cooler around £40 and after looking at performance tables went for the Thermaltake V1. It also dropped the system temperature (around the circu-pipes) and overall case temperature significantly.
Here's a link http://forum.thermaltake.com/viewtopic.php?t=2375
Good luck with your build

Are there any MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios version with better V-core adjust?

Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone knows if there are some bios version to MSI K9A2 Platinum there they have change the V-core settings. I think it´s very big step between the different V-core setting.
In my bios (v.1.3) i have this settings at V-core. Auto=1.32v (AMD 5000+ BE) then 1.36, 1.39, 1.44, 1.49, 1.51. etc.
So, if anyone knows if there are som bios version that have better options to the V-core settings i would be grateful

P35 platinum bios memory timings

hi
i have a question about the memory timings in the BIOS in the P35 Platinum
once you changed the value to manual
all the settings become available to change
i'm only interested in the first four setting i.e. cas trc trp tras
i dont know and dont care about the other settings
but their is no way to turn them on auto
should i assume that the initial settings they have are taken from the SPD and are therefore safe

Quote from: hapi.djus on 22-September-07, 03:32:09
Is the TRC the same as the TRFC?
not is not the same i'm also looking for the trc option but i couldn't fin it nether
-Row Cycle Time (tRC).
Determines the minimum number of clock cycles a memory row takes to
complete a full cycle, from row activation up to the precharging of
the active row. For optimal performance, use the lowest value you can,
according to the tRC = tRAS + tRP formula. For example:
if your memory module's tRAS is 7 clock cycles and its tRP is 4 clock cycles,
then the row cycle time or tRC should be 11 clock cycles.
-Refresh to Activate Delay / Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC).
Determines the number of clock measured from a Refresh command (REF)
until the first Activate command (ACT) to the same rank

P35 Platinum bios upgrade

Hi there
Did anyone here get an error message saying "Invalid checksum" when upgrading to MSI's latest bios(1.6) for the P35 Platinum. I done the flash thru liveupdate and restarted my PC and it showed me that message then just rebooted again and into windows. Also ive never ran DualCore centre before, i installed it after i flashed the bios and it just gives me error message and doesnt run.

problem:
sometimes it does not boot at all, it just starts up and no screen displays, then after 5 seconds it shuts down and starts up again.
when this happens I power down the pc and push the reset button on the back of the motherboard.
It then starts up and there is display on the screen but then it gives the message: CMOS Settings Wrong, CMOS Date/Time Not Set, Press F1 to Run Setup Press F2 to load default values and continue
When I press F2 it boots into windows and the cpu runs fullspeed but the time is wrong and when I shut down again it starts up with no screen display and shuts down in 5 secs and follow the same process.
I have updated my bios to v7.3 since I did read through the forum and saw that there were other people that had almost the same problem like me, but I did it through Windows Live Update, and now everytime I do a bios update through live update it says that there is a newer version available (7.30), but I allready flashed it before with the same version it found on the update.
is there any settings that would help to stable my system with my current components or is something else the matter?
I have tried changing settings myself in the bios but everytime I do change something it does not work at all or the cpu runs at half speed in windows (1.58GHz)
Thanks in advance
