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+
Zalman 850W power supply
XFX GTX 260 XXX
Xfi Titanium
Thanks

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.

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).

MSI P45 Diamond size and coolers

Hello,
I want to install a new CPU cooler on this motherboard but i dont know if it will fit. There's no name list of motherboard compatibility about this cooler... there's only the socket and the size.
Can you tell me if the size of the P45 Diamond and MSI P45 Neo3-FR or MSI P45 Platinum rev 1.1 are the same around the CPU ?
Or do you have the size around the CPU and the height of heatpipes ?
I can't find these on google and there isn't a topic about size and MSI P45 diamond...
The cooler I want to buy is scythe mugen 2 (size : http://www.scythe-eu.com/forum/mugen-series/767-mugen-2-dimensions.html).
Please, don't tell me to ask Scythe because i don't have any answers from them (nice support eh)... You're my last chance.
Have a nice day.

If it helps at all, I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 plus with dual push/pull fans on a Core 2 Quad E6600 with my P45 Diamond in a Gigabyte GZ-X tower and it fits perfectly at 158.50mm with no modifications. Your Scythe is slightly (I mean SLIGHTLY; 1mm lol) shorter so you should be fine.

MSI P45 Diamond, Wont Start Up

Motherboard - MSI P45 Diamond
Bios - 1.1
Processor - Intel Core2Quad Q9650 3.0GHz
Memory - 2x 2GB OCZ Reaper X 1333MHz DDR3
Power Supply - CoolerMaster Real Power M1000
Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2
I have just installed my new pc componants and when I turn the power on everything comes on the fans, cd/dvd, hard drives but there is no beep and nothing happens, I cant even get into the bios to change some of the settings.
Does anyone have an idea as to what is causing this and if there are any way of fixing this.
Thanks

Okay, the industry standard voltage for DDR3 modules is 1.5V, not 1.85V. The usual timings for DDR3-1333 memory chips are typically 9-9-9-24, not 6-5-5-20.
The bottom line is, that the specs on that OCZ page are far away from any kind of standard specification which is a not a good thing in terms of compatibility. For reference only, these are typical DDR3 specs:
- DDR3-1066, 7-7-7-20, 1.5V
- DDR3-1333, 9-9-9-24, 1.5V
Memory chips that nativey operate @1333 MHz, 6-5-5-20 @1.85V do not exist. There is no chip manufacturer that produces such components. So, whatever the native specs of you modules are, they are currently unknown to us, as OCZ seems to have a policy of not putting native ratings and SPD Profiles on their product pages. They always only mention overclocked ratings.
Test each module seperately in the first memory slot and see if the system is able to boot up with either of them alone. If nothing changes, test some modules with trustworthy parameters, that do not need non-standard voltages and are known to operate with standard frequencies and timings.

Going Abroad - Question About Voltage Converter Stuff

Hello, so I am going abroad for a few months (the Netherlands), and I have a question about voltage converter stuff. All of the voltage converters I can find say powers heat-producing appliances rated 500-1600 and converts foreign voltage of 220-240 volts to U.S. voltage 110-120. However, it says not to use on appliances under 500 watts such as computers. So first, off does anyone know how many watts an ibook g4 14" puts off. Secondly, I read that laptops have a dual adapter and that they can work on the 220-240 volts converter. Does anyone have any ideas about these issues; any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Brandon,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Your iBook's power adapter is rated for 100-240v. All you need is an adapter for the plug so it will fit in a European outlet. You can find them at travel stores or online for a few dollars.

A question about grub and USB

Hi All
I have a quick question about grub and USB that I can't quite find the answer to by searching. Most of the FAQs discuss booting a full linux dristribution from USB. My situation is this. I am getting a new computer with two drives, the second will be arch and the first will be Vista (for my wife). I want the computer to boot the same way that my wife's machine boots at work so I don't want to install grub on the MBR. So, is there a way to have all of the grub config files and kernels installed on the second drive and simply install to grub boot loader to the MBR of a USB stick? My goal would be to simply plug the USB stick into the new PC and boot arch from the second drive.
Thanks
Kev

i cant say for hp's
havent worked on any in a while
recent machines have been coupleof dell's , vaio & emachine
which dells do offer it at least the ones i tried , my laptop does(dell)
all home pc's are built by me which do offer to boot individual drives
what hp you getting it may tell in specs
are both discs sata? if so it might not offer this option with 2 drives of same interface
check your power supply alot of these preconfigured machines put cheap under reated power supplies in there
& will burn your motherboard i just replaced PS(250 watt) & mobo(845gvsr) in an emachines <cheap stuff<
i hope you researched the pc before buying ie : mobo, power supply are the biggest concerns
i find it much more benificial to build my own machine gives me peace at mind. the cost is sometimes more in $ but not always , your biggest expense is time researching hardware
if you live in usa the best places to start looking are bensbargains.net & pricewatch.com
i am not affiliated with either & niether sell the hardware they are just advertisers a place to buy
for costomized machines that i would trust is unitedmicro.com theyll asemble & test before shipping
i have gotten 2 machines so far from them with NO PROBLEMS with hardware (knock knock)
you may want to consider this in your next venture for pc

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM... I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM? Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?

I have a Macbook Pro june 2011... I have 8GB ram but I only have 256mb VRAM...
I've read some other questions about this and I realized... Why do I not have 560mb of VRAM since I have 8GB of RAM?
Is there any way to get more VRAM to play games on steam?
I've learned by reading other topics that I can't upgrade my graphics card on my Macbook Pro because it's soldered into the motherboard or somthing like that, but please tell me if there is any way to get more video ram by chaning some setting or upgrading something else. I'd also like to know why I only have 256MB of VRAM when I have 8GB of RAM, since I have 8GB of RAM I thought I was supposed to have 560mb of VRAM...
So the two questions are...
Is there any way to upgrade my VRAM, so that I can play games on steam?
Why do I only have 256MB VRAM when I have 8GB total RAM?
Other Info:
I have a quad core i7 Processor.
My graphcics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6490M.
I am also trying to play games on my BOOTCAMPed side of my mac, or my Windows 7 Professional side.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IF YOU CAN REPLY,
Dylan

The only two items that a user can change on a MBP are the RAM and HDD (Retinas not included). You have what the unit came with and the only way you will be able to change that is to purchase a MBP with superior graphics
If you are very much into gaming, the I suggest A PC. They are far superior for that type of application to a MBP.
Ciao.

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
     table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
     table 5 : Customer/Material
     table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
     table 4 : Material
5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

Hi,
You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
Hope this is clear.
REWARD IF HELPFUL.

2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

Hi
i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
1)Filter->lens correction->search online
i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
is it normal?
2) question is about Gpu
it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
like saturation or vibrance for example
i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
i have set cache levels 6 ,history 20
i guess are the defaul
well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
again is normal ?
don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
thanks

For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay. Second click turns up results immediately. This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key. Strange.

Three questions about Java and Ftp

Hello, i've the following questions about Java and Ftp:
1- .netrc file is in $HOME directory but i can't access to this directory from java code. The following line producesan Exception (directory doesn't exists)
FileWriter file = new FileWriter ("$HOME/.netrc");
2- .netrc file must have the following permissions: -rw- --- --- but when i create the .netrc file the following permissions are on default: -rw- r-- r--, how can i change this permissions? (In java code, i can't use chmod.....)
3- Are there any way to pass parameters to a .netrc file? If i get to do this i needn't change the permissions because i can't modify or create/destroy this file.
Thanks in advanced!!!
Kike

1- .netrc file is in $HOME directory but i can't
access to this directory from java code. The
following line producesan Exception (directory
doesn't exists)
FileWriter file = new FileWriter ("$HOME/.netrc");$HOME would have to be replaced by a shell, I don't
think you can use it as part of a legal path.
Instead, use System.getProperty("user.home");
Ok, thanks
2- .netrc file must have the followingpermissions:
-rw- --- --- but when i create the .netrc file the
following permissions are on default: -rw- r--r--,
how can i change this permissions? (In java code,i
can't use chmod.....)Yes, you can: Runtime.exec("chmod ...");
I need to use estrictly the .netrc with -rw- --- --- permissions
Yes, i can use Runtime.exec ("chmod ..."); but i don't like very much this solution because is a slow solution, am i right?
3- Are there any way to pass parameters to a.netrc
file? If i get to do this i needn't change the
permissions because i can't modify orcreate/destroy
this file.I don't think so. Why do you need the .netrc file in
Java at all? Writing a GUI frontend?I want to use automatic ftp in a java program and FTP server, the files and path are not always the same, so i can:
- modify .netrc (for me is the complex option)
- destroy and create a new .netrc (is easier but i have permissions problem)
- use .netrc with parameters but i haven't found any help about it
Thanks for your prompt reply!!!!

Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

A very basic question about storage and safety:
I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
QUESTION:
Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
*Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

MSI P45 Diamond without watercooling

I've just bought a used MSI P45 Diamond mainboard. I see the mainboard has support for watercooling, but is this necessary? Can I use the board without watercooling until I buy one, or can it damage the board? I don't want to fire it up if I cant use regular aircooling.

suggest you check the mainboard photo here http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1479&maincat_no=1 to ensure that the factory passive cooling with heatpipes is still on your board.
