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

  • 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)

    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.

    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.
    3x for the info, but what is the thermal specs of E4300, which is 61 sth

    It seems that your CPU (or PSU) died.
    You need to borrow an old s775 processor and to test.

  • MSI P6N SLI-F & Thermaltake cl-p0370?

    I'm currently looking at purchasing an MSI P6N SLI-F motherboard, but do have a question:
    Does anyone here know whether or not the Thermaltake cl-p0370 heatsink + fan will fit on this motherboard?
    It's a bit hard to tell from the pictures whether or not the heatpipes will clear the couple of capacitors to the right of the CPU socket. It does appear that there is enough distance from the heatsink on the northbridge and the RAM slots, but I am not so sure about the capacitors...
    And should this NOT fit -- does anyone know of another affordable low-noise heatsink + fan that fits and can be used with a core 2 Duo E6600 CPU on this board?
    Any info would be appreciated!

    Really, I think not many of us can comment much.
    You really have to take the measurements of the CPU area and the HSF into good considerations before the purchase.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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-FI - Nothing happens!

    I recently just purchased a whole new system from newegg.  I purchased the following components:

    Now, I hooked everything up, turned the power supply power on, and a beautiful LED light on the motherboard started to shine proudly.  Basking in the glow of my orange LED, I confidently pushed the power button on the case, to find... nothing.  No fans started, no whirring of the HD, just silence.  I double and triple checked the cord going from the motherboard to the power switch, turned it around, begged it, but can't get any response from the motherboard.  I was looking into if my power supply was compatable with my motherboard, and it seems like it should be.  Does anyone have any ideas of what else I can check?

    Quote from: tnt1 on 22-March-07, 10:34:43
    Two different specs. The motherboard is designed to handle either the 8 pin or 4 pin cpu connector. Did you hook up the 4 pin? Did you use the 20+4 for the main ATX? Is the power supply set to 115v? (may say 110v or 120v)
    Also are you certain you have connected the power switch correctly to the motherboard. (You can try jumping the pins with a screwdriver). Recheck the manual and make sure you are using the correct pins. Also disconnect the reset switch just to make sure it is not stuck in a reset state.
    Try with motherboard out of the case. (It may be grounded)
    Try with minimal components.
    Reseat the CPU.
    Well, I tried all of these.  I re-seated the processor, which looked fine originally, stripped out everything except the processor, RAM, and video card, re-connected all of the power cords, took the motherboard out of the case, and jumped the pins with a trusty pair of scissors.
    Success!  It booted right up, the fans started, and there was a large sigh of relief.
    I have no idea what it was wrong, but it seems ok now.  Of course, I haven't even connected a monitor or anything, so there's a long way to go, but this was a rather important first step, don't you think?
    Thanks guys

    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.

    TS,
    I have the Platinum edition and the 'EIST', 'Execute bit disable' and 'C1E disable' options are listed in the-
    BIOS Setup>>Advanced settings>>CPU Feature menu. Once there, press F4 to unhide 'C1E disable'.
    In the 'Cell' menu, if you have one, you also need to disable the 'Spead Spectrum' features. In my BIOS, it is the last menu selection.
    There should be 2 or 3 entries in the sub-menu. Disable them all for manual control.
    Hope this helps.
