MSI P6N SLI-FI cannot adjust cpu voltage

Ok ive tried two different bioses (2.0 and 2.12) and in both I cannot adjust the cpu voltage. It reads 0.00000V and I cannot adjust it please help.

Personally, I think people are jumping to conclusions about OCZ memory . My (MSI SLI Platinum board) system runs perfectly stable with OCZ memory. Saying that OCZ is a problem is too broad a statement - hell, OCZ sells 11 different models of DDR2-800.
The memory in question in this case happens to be the Platinum version (actually, in this thread, the memory doesn't even seem to be the issue), which must have it's voltage oc'd to 2.1v when running at the stated 4-5-4-15 DDR2-800 speed.
Anyway, cell_491, make sure that you've disabled:
C1E (might be hidden on Advanced settings -> CPU Features page... use F4 to show it)
D.O.T
EIST
ALL spread-spectrum settings
...note that these boards will reset to some defaults if you fail to POST a few times, so make sure the above are still disabled. Also, keep in mind that while the memory 'settings' are or can be 'unlinked' from the FSB, it's still using a divider internally, so you might want to clock the memory down to 667 when you're trying to determine the FSB top-end.
I've been running my E6400 at FSB 1333 (333 x 8 = 2.664 GHz) with my OCZ DDR2-667 ram oc'd to DDR2-800 4-5-5-12-24-2T 1.9v (unlinked 400mhz ram freq) perfectly stable for the past few weeks. Last night I played around with oc'ing the CPU some more and managed to get up to around FSB 1480 (370 x 8 = 2.96 GHz) running stable by adding some voltage, but I'm still running the stock Intel heat-sink and the E6400 starts getting pretty hot at that speed, so I backed it back down to 1333 (2.6GHz) which I'm now running in linked mode with my memory at 4-4-4-12-20-1T at 1.9v (I haven't started tuning the timings yet).
I need this board to make my living, so it has to be stable and I can't afford to fry anything, so until I upgrade the cooling, I don't plan to try for something over 3GHz, but if you've got good cooling, then this might help. It's for the 680i chips so the BIOS options will be different, but the 650i uses the same NB as the 680i, so there's a lot of info that should be usefull (including some max recommended safe voltages).

P6N Sli-Fi cannot up RAM voltage?

Hi All.
I've read through my motherboard manual and unless I'm missing something simple the BIOS will not allow me to change the memory voltage to anything above 1.8v. It stays set to AUTO. I can change the CPU voltage, but not RAM voltage. Is this because the Kingston Ram stick I have in it will not allow higher then 1.8v, or am I doing something wrong? I hit enter to select, nothing happens, I use the + and - simples and cannot adjust.
Basically I have some G.Skill ram that won't post and I just wanted to try to up the voltage to 1.9v and see if I could use my 2-1gb G.skill sticks before I RMA them for some Ram listed in the supported section. Figured it might be worth a shot to attempt to get this ram to work.

Hey there Spafra,
You probablyalready got your problem solved,but just in case...
g.Skill rates your DIMMs at 1.8 - 2.0v, so you are safe to up the voltage within that range(to include 2.0v). If they still fail to boot at he higher voltages, you can still RMA them through g.Skill. That is, if the mobo boots with the Kingston or other 1.8v DIMM.
I have different RAM, though they are rated 1.8-2.1v, the mobo booted them fine with the 'DRAM Voltage' set at 'auto' (actually, with no voltage specified in the field).
Boot to BIOS Setup with the Kingston ram, if necessary, set your voltage to whatever you decide on, make any other changes you like, then press <F10><ENTER> and when the screen goes black turn OFF the computer AT THE PSU. Unplug the power cord from the computer, as well as the 24pin ATX and 4/8 pin CPU Power connectors (per the manual), Change your RAM out for the g.skill, reconnect, and hit the 'START' button.
Hopefully it'll boot ok.
If not, you may have to disable 'Execute Bit Disable' in the >>Advanced settings >CPU feature > Execute Bit Disable [DISABLE] menu until you have a successful boot.

MSI P6N SLi-FI...SB voltage?

What kind of effect does adjusting the SB voltage have on overclocking with this board

According to the nVidia Overclocking Guide, they don't recommend messing with the SB (MCP) voltage...

Maximum Recommended Voltages
Note: Be very careful when increasing voltages as setting them too high can destroy the
processor and other components on the motherboard.
Below is a list of the safe, maximum voltages that should be used for overclocking.
Any voltages not mentioned are best left at their Auto setting.

Maximum temperature at the junction point (where the die is glued to the chip carrier inside). Max temp is 100°C for Allendale and 85°C for conroe. The internal sensor coretemp uses does not return a absolute temperature but rather how many C° is left until Tjunction is reached. So to calculate the temperature they use Tjunction - Sensor Reading = Temperature. You can see here how speedfan's wrong assumption of 85°C for allendale creates a 15°C offset.

MSI P6N SLI Platinum Voltage regulator cooler size question

I have a question about MSI P6N SLI Platinum's Voltage regulator cooler. Is it the same size of K9N SLI Platinum? The reason I ask is I plan to use water cooling on it. But the only regulator waterblock I can find is desgined for K9N SLI Platinum from aqua computer http://www.aqua-pcs.co.uk/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=218. So can I use this one on P6N SLI?

I guess not... P6N is much thinner, if your K9N VR cooler is as thin, then it can fit in. But I guess not.

MSI P6N SLI V2 CPU Heatsink Q

Hi,
I have a quick question about compatible heatsinks for this board (MSI P6N SLI V2). I've been looking at a few and have decided to go for the Zalman CNPS9500A-LED (I'm pretty sure it'll fit) does anybody have one of these fitted?? I did read on another forum that there might be a problem with the underside of the board, but it wasn't very clear which board they were refering to....
Any help would be great...... Many Thanks

I suggest you also ask Zalman directly: http://www.zalman.com/ENG/Contact/GetSupport/Write_Form.asp

Update on Pentium D 930 + MSI P6N SLi Mobo

A short time ago I was searching this forum for information concerning the compatibility of the Pentium D 930 processor with the MSI P6N Sli Mobo. It seems that this processor was not officially supported for this board. A few helpful people offered the opinion that they would likely work just fine together. I just wanted to get back to you guys and say thank you again, that turned out to be exactly the case. :D
After an embarrassing no-post situation caused by the leftover mounting spacers from my old board (which used 12) to my present board (which uses 9), everything went smoothly. Acronis with Universal restore allowed me to regenerate my operating system. After a lengthy update of drivers the computer was up and running smoothly and with a entirely welcome but somewhat puzzling difference. Whereas the old board (D945PVS) consistently provided an environment in which the CPU ran at 50°+ C (?!) and had transient temperatures as high as 58 - 59° C with an ambient 20° C, the new set up consistently ran below 40°. These results were consistent no matter what type of thermal pastes were used, be they my homebrewed colloidal silver in silicone stopco*k grease or Arctic Silver. (that's hilarious... the anti-obscenity software interpreted a fully normal English language word as obscenity)
Well, whatever the reason....sweet.
I have only attempted simpleminded overclocking as the options are somewhat limited by the processor. With the frequency for the GPU locked at 100 MHz, simply adjusting the FSB to 1000 raised the apparent speed of the CPU to 3.75 GHz, up from the stock frequency of 3 GHz. An attempt to set the front side bus at 1060 resulted in a non-bootable system so back to 1000 it went.
I have not adjusted any of the system voltages. So far I have not stress tested this other than to simply use the computer for several hours. No apparent problems yet. The system temperatures have remained between 38 and 40° C in an ambient 20°C environment.
The only thing that nags at me, and I'm fairly sure that this is of no importance is the fact that in device manager the CPUs show yellow exclamation marks and in properties I see a message saying that certain drivers failed to load for the CPU and that other software may be taking their place. Well, whatever this actually means, it has had no detectable impact on system performance or reliability.

Hiya flobelix
If by manually updating the drivers you mean by left clicking on them in device manager and selecting update --> search online, then yes, I did. I do not have the exact verbiage but the resultant error message was something to the effect that the drivers had installed but failed to start and something else may be taking their place.
Driver magician fails to detect that any cpu drivers are missing. Same with online testing services such as PC pitstop. | have done a cursory search using Google to find people with similar problems but I have not as of yet seen this EXACT problem.

Hello and welcome,
First of all, 1066MHz isnt garantueed to work on that board, I have the same and although is says so on the box, it isnt supported, look here:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=&prod_no=1140#menu
533/667/800Mhz only.
To reach 3.6 try following:
Raise NB step by step, until ~1.35V max, SB @stock, FSB VTT to 4 - 8%
Set FSB to 1600 and mem to 800 on auto timings, you can adjust those later.
And leave Vcore on 0.100V as said in your post.
See if you can get it to run then.

MSI P6N SLI Platinum + E6850 + 533Mhz (PC-4200) RAM?

Hi,
I got hold of an E6850 (1333 MHz FSB) CPU for upgrade and I would like to know if it can run with 2Gb hynix RAM (533MHz PC-4200) on my MSI P6N SLI platinum (Rev 1.0). If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to using 667MHz or 800MHz RAM?
Thanks.

I am not sure if the Nforce Chipset/Memory Controller is able to support a memory bus speed that is lower than FSB Clock Speed. Intel Chipset usually can't do that (1:1 usually being the minimum ratio supported). However, on your board, the memory speed is not directly tied to the FSB Clock Speed and can be adjusted independently, so the situation may be different. The bottom line is: I can't tell you for sure if it will work or not and therefore suggest to simply test it and see what happens.

If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to buying PC-6400 800MHz RAM?
With the memory bus running slower than the Front Side Bus, there will be definately be a performance difference that is not insignificant.

Who has this setup - MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400

This message is intended for anyone who has the MSI P6N SLI Platinum & E8400 in a working state.
I've had the pleasure of perusing these forums for a while in hopes of finding an answer as to why my E8400 isn't working with my P6N SLI Platinum. I've updated my BIOS, I've RMA'd my chip, I've even contacted MSI support (with no reply I might add). I have been so careful when handling these components and thoroughly reading the instructions, to no avail. I've got the board and all components working with a different processor. I've tried the voltage modifications that many have said work, I've tried different memory, I even tried a different video card. So I'm stuck in the same boat as many it seems, however there are one or two posts on this forum and others where people have said they actually got it to work!
So now I really hope I can get this question answered - What is a working config? One of the things I haven't tried yet is a new power supply. My current PS is 650w, but has the 4 pin CPU power connector. From the posts I've read, it shouldn't matter if I have the 4 or the 8. But in reality, does this CPU work on the P6N Plat with an 8 pin connector? I'd be willing to go buy a new PS if thats the case! What else could possibly be the issue? Any and all feedback is appreciated. i really didn't want to start up another thread for this proc/board issue, but perhaps someone else has joined this board by now that may provide the little piece of info that I've been missing.
Cheers,
Aaron

according to the website, the 1.6 BIOS had cpu updates in march so I's assume it would have support for the E8400.
What exactly happens when you turn on the system with the E8400?

MSI P6N SLI-F Northbridge Heatsink dimensions?

I'm looking around for a nice quiet CPU heatsink/fan that will fit on the MSI P6N SLI-F motherboard.
there's been a couple that I've had to rule out because the Northbridge heatsink is too close to the CPU socket -- but can anyone tell me how tall the stock heatsink on the northbridge is, on this particular motherboard?
It's kind of hard to tell the scale on most of the motherboard pictures that are floating around. If anyone can tell me how many mm this heatsink rises above the motherboard, I'd much appreciate it!
(Suggestions for a quiet CPU fan to be used with a Core 2 Duo E6600 that will fit this motherboard are also very welcome. I'm not intending to overclock -- low noise is more important to me than arctic temperatures)

Quote from: somebob on 06-March-07, 14:28:59
Hm... Are you sure those actually fit on the (non-platinum) P6N?
Looking at pictures of the motherboard, a 92mm vertical fan looks like it might run into the northbridge heatsink... Can anyone else confirm that the collermaster (RR-PCH-S9U1-GP) fits this motherboard?
Yes, it does... images of it installed in the thread linked above.
