so why do i need it if everything works on lower OC? I just want to oc that MORE and MORE!!!
You have an unstable OC...please lower your OC and test with a stability program like Intelburntest or Prime95...both those and other OC tools can be found here:

MSI P45 Neo3-FR..Overclocking help please !

Hi i have a MSI P45 Neo3-FR [v1.0] and have managed to update bios to latest version 1.5 i am having trouble finding my way around the bios in order to overclock. Previously i have owned asus boards and it was pretty straightforward but with this board i cannot seem to have full control over all adjustments i think i could adjust fsb and possibly memory ratio and timings but not Vcore and memory voltages as they are greyed out. On the asus boards you got a dropdown list 1.1v~1.8v etc but i cannot get this option with this board.
My memory is corsair [6400] with cpu-z it seems to have timings correct but voltage should be 1.9 my cpu is a E8200 core speed 2673x8 vcore 1.192v i have disabled speedstep [f4] and spread spectrum and the jumpers are set to 266mhz~333mhz.
Any advice on this much appreciated i don't know if there is a tutorial specific to the msi bios advanced settings and how to enable it or a discription of what msi call the voltages adjustments doesn't seem to be v.core...confused!
King regards all

Thanks for help people i have got a good overclock..well for me I got FSB to 400mhz so my processor was 3.2ghz and memory running at 800mhz with 1:1 ratio and voltage at 1.9.
I did try to go heigher but pc just re-booted 3 times then re-set to optimum i tried a bit more voltage for cpu but it still refused. Funny thing is when i re-did FSB to 400mhz again it booted and ran no bother i checked speed and cpu was again 3.2ghz but ram was 960mhz ... i forgot to re-set ratio back to 1:1 so my ram is running at 1920mhz instead of 1600 testing with prime but i would have thought if its stable i could push cpu further possibly as i know ram can handle a lot more than 800mhz. Is this correct ?

Msi P45 Platinum Power Connections ? Clarification please.

Hi, I'm asking does anybody know weather the ATX 12V power connector on the p45 for the CPU, can be used with all 8 pins as 4 of them have a plastic cover over them, is it safe to remove the cover and insert a 8 pin supply to them?
Also JPWR1 12V connection to PCIEX16 Graphics card, can that also be used safely with a card inserted that has an 8 pin power connection allready powering the graphics card?
Does the above two make a difference if you have ATX 24 PIN Or ATX 20 PIN, or can all be plugged in safely with no risk of damage to the board, i.e ATX 24 PIN To Motherboard and ATX 12V CPU 8 pin power connector and JPWR1 connected as well
All of this is in the manual page 2-9 but there is no clarification to what can and should be connected.

If you PSU has an 8-Pin-+12V-connector for CPU power, remove the plastic cover and plug it in. [The cover is to avoid confusion, if a PSU is used that only has one 4-Pin +12V-Plug.]

What function to enable,what to disable. Also,have I hardware overclock fsb jumpers (now sets to 200Mhz)-JB1 and JB2. And how to decrease cpu ratio if I have to( now is 200x13=2600Mhz). Also what dram ratio etc...
I'll be greatefull if somebodu help me,I just wanna overclock processor to 3gHz for every day,not 24/7, maybe 12/7...THANX and sorry for my bad English

hello! I try that,remove both the oc jumper,and I CAN'T EVEN RUN THE BIOS So after couple restarts, i shut down pc and se jumpers to 200-266 mode. Disable what you said,set fsb 260 x multiplier 11,5 and get 3ghz. Some programs seys core 1 and 2 speed 3371mhz? I set cpu voltage to 1.32, little increase the ather voltages... With max load max temperature with core temp is 63c after couple hours. Should I do something to increase more speed or is better to leave it like this? Or try set jumpers to mode 266-333 and decrease cpu multiplier wuth more fsb?

I hereby officially refuse to tell you that because your question clearly shows that you have not taken the time to look into the mainboard's user manual which not only shows where the jumpers are located but also what you can do with them.
I can understand for that all. It is same like me when to tried help another people ask a question for that things but sometimes you can not explained with words. Instead you get bashing with short explained like that
(you know exactly what i meant...lol)
Quote from: De_Hollander on 04-September-09, 20:27:02
i have no mainboard's user manual taken, iám going to shop back asking for the manual.
but i think the jumpers are these
Right!! that is location of the jumpers, short the jumpers in strap potition what you need and dont forget to give this shot before do that:
1. Disconnected PSU from A/C power
2. Put your OC jumpers potition what you need (ex, 266-333 or 333-400)
3. Push button Clear CMOS at back your case
Hope this can help.

Q6600 & MSI P45 Platinum...

hi guys,
my pc specs...
CPU - Quad 6600 @ 2.4Ghz G0 Stepping
MB - MSI P45 Platinum with Zalman Cooler BIOS V 1.5
RAM - 2x2GB Team Extreem Performance DDR2 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15
VGA - Gigabyte 9600GT 1GB DDR3 PCI-E
HDD - WD 640GB SATA
PSU - Silverstone 450W
DVD - Samsung Sata DVD-RW
OS - Vista SP1
** 5 Xigmatex Fans connected to MB sockets (SYS FANS) **
currently i'm running @ 266*9 = 2.4Ghz n my fsb/dram ratio is 1:2. the thing is wen i set my FSB to 400 , fsb/dram ratio is changed to get 1064Mhz for my rams thou, (CPU stil runs @ 400*6=2.4Ghz), i c my NBB Voltage is marked in RED color in d core center software.
the thing is i'm not sure wat is d safe voltage to set it in BIOS to as i'm afraid i might fry d board. PC parts over here are freakin expensive. All settings in BIOS is set to AUTO as i didn't OC my Q6600. Except my ram timings in BIOS is set to 5-5-5-15 (others all auto). so guys, please help me out here. i'm sorry if tis question is lame or a repeat post. i've been checkin around for months but just cant seem to get an asnwer. once again, thanks for all d help guys...

If all voltages are set to auto and everything's running without an issue you don't need to change any voltage setting because the auto settings are safe. Forget about core center software as it is quite crappy. What does your HW monitor in bios report for nbb voltage?

P45 Platinum, screen stay of at post.

Hello,
I just get an MSI P45 back of my RMA. Now I have the P45 and try to boot. All disks spinning on, leds go on and the videocard fan makes noise for 2 seconds.
But the POST and screen remains off, DVI or VGA, only 1 or 2 video card. Nothing helps.
Even if I get the ram out from the board the screen remains black.
Now are there leds on the motherboard you can see what is going on. Here is the sequence:
Code: [Select]
X -
X -
- O
X -
X = Red Led
O = Green led
- = Off led
According to the booklet would be a memory test. Only that he also if there is no RAM in it, or 2 Dimms or 4.
CMOS clear doesn't help either.
Any idea what it could be?
Specifications:
Intel Xeon X3360
MSI P45 Platinum

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 24-October-08, 21:12:48
Hi,
why was the board send to RMA in the first place? Was there a specific problem?
The board I sended was an Asus P5E, that thing was crap and I wanted this one. Quote
Have you tried each memory stick on its own in all memory slots?
Yes I did, didn't workQuote
Have you cleared CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU?
Yes, did it already. Doesnt work eitherQuote
Have you tested the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration?
No I didnt, but I think it wont be any difference
In about 2 hours I have other rams that I can test with other chips on it.

About TPM module MSI P45 platinum

Hello.
I need some information about this function, supported in MSI P45 Platinum - TPM module. Where can i buy such thing, and eventually prices for it.
Thanx in advance!

TPM is nothing MSI Specific. Please read this article first:

E8400 on an MSI P45 Platinum

I just got done reading the guide on tweaking VTT/GTL which helped me get a better grasp about the awesome settings the P45 have.
Anyway I have a bit of a dillema, I can't seem to get 4.0Ghz without cranking my settings up to this:
Vcore = 1.525v (This will fry it eventually)
CPU GTL REF0 = AUTO (For now)
CPU GTL REF1 = AUTO (For now)
DRAM Voltage = 2.100v (Manu specs)
DDR_VREF_A = AUTO (For now)
DDR_VREF_B = AUTO (For now)
MCH Voltage (Is this the Southbridge?) = 1.556v (I have no idea what to set this to, I just cranked it up as high as it would go)
MCH GTL REF = AUTO
VTT FSB Voltage = 1.60v (What the hell is VTT?)
ICH Voltage (Is this the Northbridge??) = 2.12v
The problem with this is I'm going to cook my system...the funny thing is I can remove the jumpers and run my CPU at 3.6Ghz and all stock voltages without a single problem - however going even 1Mhz above this requires me to crank the hell out of this system.
Anyone here have any settings they use for this board w/ an E8400? I'm kind of out of ideas at this point.
Specs:
MSI P45 Platinum
Intel E8400 Core2Duo @ 3.0Ghz
OCZ OC RAM DDR2-1066 @ 5-5-5-15-2T and 2.1v

Thats a good starting point. Set BIOS to default and then ensure your memory is at DDR2-800 at ~1,9V.
From there start increasing your FSB. I think you will have a better chance at what you are trying to achieve with a lower memory frequency. See how far you can go that way without changing any other voltages, but always check your V Core under load as you increase the frequency.
I have had my proc at up to 3,7GHZ (board jumpers removed) all other BIOS settings being stock/auto, but I manually kept my DDR at 800.
My core Voltage will rise to 1,296 under full load at that freq, which is still below the Intel spec max of 1,3625 "Table 2-3. Voltage and Current Specifications in the Intel spec sheet". So I know there is room for more. My CPU core temps will be between 55 and 60C depending on the auto speed-up of the cooler, which I must say is very effective.
Running some real world tests though, i.e. 3D gaming, I found that the increase above the 3,4GHz I am running now, is hardly worth the additional heat and obvious associated higher voltages. My chipset especially heats up to about 55C and I need to take the passive cooling off at some stage to check the MSI factory paste.

Msi p45 platinum - freezes after power save turns off displays

Just put this computer together, everything is stock, no overclocking. Seems to run fine, played a few hours of modern warfare 2 with no issues.
I noticed It seems to freeze after the monitor gets turned off by the power save mode. I just tested this by setting it to turn off displays after 1 minute of inactivity, waited watched the monitor turn off, then I went to the move the mouse and the screen came back on but the cursor would not move. sometimes the screen will not even come back on.
I have turned the computer on, left the room while it was booting to eat breakfast or take a shower, came back the screen was still on but the computer was frozen. Window 7 login screen was up, but there were some graphic glitches. this has happened a couple of times.
If I manually put the computer to sleep it seems to come back properly.

MSI P45 Platinum and RAID 0!

System specs below! First of all this system is basically a gaming rig. I am running Vista 64 on one single Western digital hard drive, and using an identical drive for storage. I was thinking about setting up a RAID 0 array with these two drives. Can this be easily done with this mobo? I am just wondering if there are any quirks associated with the MSI P45 Platinum mobo that would make this a pain to set up. Anyone else running a RAID 0 with this mobo and having good results? Would it even be worth it?
I was told my several different people in the gaming community, that RAID 0 really speeds up map loading, which would be great. I would be backing up the array to another internal drive using True Image.
Any advice would be great!!

Only, if you set the controller to AHCI Mode (which would not really be a problem either). You probably won't need any additional drivers when the controller is working in IDE Mode.
If you have to install drivers, use the latest ones from the JMicron FTP Download Server:
ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista/
Ok, well I won't have my new storage drive until Thursday. I will run HD tune on the drive connected to both different controllers and see what is the fastest.
I know we talked about this just a little. Still wondering about the RAID drives, or any drives attached to the ICH10R's SATA connections when it is set to RAID in the bios. The drives, including my SATA CD/RW drive does not show under "Standard CMOS features". Just #7 and #8 of the JMicron's show since they are still set to IDE in the bios.
You commented with:
"They are now Controlled by the ICH10R Firmware. Look here":
--> Integrated Peripherals --> On-Chip ATA Devices --> AHCI Devices Group
--> Integrated Peripherals --> On-Chip ATA Devices -->
Those locations are just where you set the RAID mode. There's no actual drives listed there. I do see a screen popup when booting my system with the two RAID drives saying "ok" and bootable. Plus I see them in the Matrix storage console. Is this normal then? There really is no place when you search through the bios that you can see them listed?? I can hit the Ctrl and I keys and go into the actual RAID bios, but I don't see my RAID drives listed in the actual bios.
Am I explaining this right?? Just wanting to make sure everything is working right. It sure seems to work well with bench marks. Here's a shot of my array with HD tune. I'm thinking that burst rate can't be right.

Most probably same problem as mine, ram no seated properly, I unplug and plug many times, sometimes have to lay the cpu (if it a tower) on its side, then boot up can function.

help me pls...

This is a known v1.4 BIOS Bug. It was fixed in BIOS v1.5b1 and in all BETA Releases that followed. If you don't want to flash a BETA Release, you need to wait for the Release of the official/final v1.5 version.

Msi p45 platinum power up problems

Hey guys, i have got a fairly new system i think its about 2 months old
e8400 e0
msi p45 platinum bios 1.71beta
4g kit 1066 kingston hyperx
palit 1g 4870
huntkey 650w psu
Okay so heres the deal, the computer was running at 3.6ghz, stable for the past 2 months.
I have tried 4ghz with almost every possible combination of volts, but it passed prime 95 for about 36 hours 1 day, and the next have a random reboot
I also noticed that my psu was making this weird whining noise so i just ordered and installed a pc power and cooling 750w.
To my happyness comp booted up at 4ghz and seemd stable enough for 2 hours. (just searching net and stuff) then boom, comp turns off.
okay so i thought maybe it wasnt stable. tried to reboot but to no avail. all i get is about half a second when my fans try to spin up but then it just cuts off again.
i have tested the usual out of box, 1 stick of mem, clear cmos with power cord removed, removed battery for 10 minutes but nothing. Also did the same with the old psu which was working.
All that happends is it trys to start, eg leds everywhere flicker and i mean flicker there is no way i can see what order. Im refering to the 8 leds down the bottom. the flick on then off.
After trying to start it up once, i wont get another chance to start it. eg i have to remove the power and wait till the power is completly gone from the system b4 i can try again and only have the same thing happen.
Thanks for your help guys

Something may have been damaged during overclocking. What voltages did you work on when you overclocked the system to ~4GHZ? What where your temperatures?

Next, I see that you are using a Beta BIOS, what's the reason behind it?
I suppose the reason is this:

Overclock an E8400 in a MSI P45 Platinum

Specs:
CPU: Core2Duo E8400 E0 @ 3.0Ghz
Memory: 2GB OCZ DDR2-1066 (Dual Channel) @ 5-5-5-18-2T
Motherboard: MSI P45 Platinum
PSU: 750w Antec TruePower (4)12v Rails @ 25Amps each, two rails dedicated to GPU and other two rails to HDD's/DVD Drives
CPU Heatsink: Zalman CNPS9500 w/ Arctic Silver
The reason for the post here is because I can't seem to overclock my CPU with very much grace without running into BSOD's/Lockups/Reboots and whatnot...I'm even having some issues right now where I have to run the RAM at 1:1 or 1:1.2 (667Mhz or 800Mhz depending)
I guess the other issue I'm having is I have no idea what half of these settings are even referring to and I really hate to admit that...:(
Anyway I was hoping there was someone here with a similar setup that might be able to shed some light as to what I might be doing wrong...tried tweaking the dozen voltage options and whatnot without much success and very poorly describe items such as "Drive Setting 1/2/3/ETC...

What is your current BIOS Version?
Please post a list of the Cell Menu Settings that you have used to far when you attempted to overclock your system.
For a quick test:
-> remove the two OC Jumpers from there pin headers (this will force the FSB Clock Speed to 400 MHz), clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after that and see if the system will start-up properly.
