This is from awhile ago, but may have some ideas & settings that may be of use for you. The OC seemed to work better with a 1:1 ratio. Ram speed of 825 - FSB of 1650 in my case. It would not run stable at RAM speed 1066. 412.5 would net about 3.506 or so for you. Hope this helps.
thanks for the help, I think is the problem, the memory's, I will test and see how it

New Need Sink needed for MSI P7N Diamond nForce 780i SLi (Socket 775)

Hi Guys,
I've been having a problem with my machine where it will be working away as and then suddenly restart. I haven't been able to pin point the problem as it can happen regardless of applications or load thats on the machine. I've also run a couple of app's to check the RAM and its fine. The only thing I've been noticing is that the 4 cores of my Q6600 seem to be running a bit hot. On average on Idle there running between 45-55oc. Does this seem normal? I'm thinking that the cpu might be over heating when I'm running apps. I've seen one of the cores up around 68oc when under a bit of load. I'm using the stock heat sink at the moment and would like to cool things down it see if that helps. Can anyone recommend something suitable for my motherbroad.
Thanks
Garret

MSI P7N Diamond nForce 780i SLi (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard with Free Creative X-FI Card
Thermaltake ToughPower 750W Modular Power Supply
My Q6600 (also G0/SLACR but don't know what you mean by "Pro") is OC'd to 3.4GHz and has had no problems running stable. Highest temps during OCCT/Linpack and LinX/Linpack peak at 80C 1st/2nd cores - 76 C 3rd/4th cores. Other tests (e.g. Prime95 small FFTs) run much cooler. I've run 2hr+ linpack tests with no errors, so I don't think you need to worry about your temps yet.
However, may I suggest that you check into is your power supply, in particular the modular connections. I had the ToughPower 750W Modular before upgrading to PCP&C. I noticed that the ToughPower's modular connections had a tendency to be just a tad loose. They wouldn't dislodge but they had a little bit of play. I could jiggle them ever so slightly while they were connected. As a result, the CPU power cable (8-pin/4-pin) would cause a restart upon the slightest disturbance or sensation. I've since discovered that modular connectors also affect the efficiency, power noise levels, and overall performance of a PSU. All in all, I plan to avoid modular connectors entirely going forward. Many newer cases have excellent cable management features and even old-style cases can be cleaned up with a little planning and effort. So the modular cabling advantages don't offset the severe disadvantages. Even if your problem isn't due to the PSU, it's something I'd recommend considering replacing.
Good luck. Hope all the suggestions are able to help you nail down and resolve your issue.

MSI P7N Diamond NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI 3-way brigde

3 Way SLI Connector Model 401-MB-0023-01
Hi there recently i received a package from your company with an motherboard MSI P7N
Diamond, nForce-780i SLI, i suddenly understood that there were not any kind of
3 Way SLI Connector! Therefore i am now asking how come there are none of this inside
your package and if i want to order a part! Where do i get it from? I asked EVGA they said
that they were chipping theirs sli bridges with their motherboard and said that is also what
your company do as well! So i ask you again how come there is no 3- way sli connector in
my package! Reason for this high priority is since i have 3 GTX 280 sli and i can't run 3
-way without this 3- way sli connector!
I live in Norway and i have been struggling with finding people who might be able to solve this problem for me!
So i would appreciate you and the company too have a look at this case and let me know if
its possible to get one from you! Without any money cost! And if it is possible to get one but
it will charge then, how much? Best regards From Halvor bø
Best regards From Halvor bø

Your board should have come with three SLI cables. Two short & one long to comprise the 3-way SLI bridge cables. Installation & full description can be found on pages 2-22 & 2-23 of your owners manual.

HELP! - Voltages for Overclocking Q9450 on the MSI P7N Diamond (780i chipset)

Hey. I fully understand the settings as far as frequencies go, but am a total voltage newb. No matter what I do I cant seem to get a stable vista load up with my voltage settings.
Please help me by providing suggested voltage settings for my hardware.
CPU - Intel Core2Quad Q9450
RAM - 6 gigs of DDR2-800 rated at 2.1V
VIDEO - Dual Nvidia Geforce 8800GT's in SLI
MOBO - MSI P7N Diamond, based off the Nvidia Nforce 780i SLI chipset
My cooling is sufficient, and I have the BIOS version 1.2
I also turned off all of the overclocking not friendly functions, example: spread spectrum, and DOT, ETC....
I am trying to run my CPU at 3.2 GHZ (400 mhz before multiplier)
my settings I want are (as shown in the P7N bios)
System Clock Mode - Manual
FSB clock - 1600
DRAM clock - 800
Please help me by providing the proper voltages for my setup
Everything I need is marked by "???"
CPU Voltage - ???
DRAM Voltage - (already have, its 2.1)
NB voltage - ???
SB voltage - ???
NB Memory reference voltage - ???
DIMM memory reference voltage - ???
Memory terminator voltage - ???
CPU GTL reference voltage - ???
NB GTL reference voltage - ???
FSB terminator voltage - ???
SB sleep mode voltage - ???
PCI Expander PLL voltage - ???
For the sake of you not typing too much, if you specify voltages, any that you do not specify will be assumed to be left at [AUTO]
PLEASE help me by providing some voltages for me, as I have absolutely no clue what to put for them. If you have any questions about my hardware feel free to ask, and any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED

adjusting gtl ref. voltages isn't very difficult, but it is probably best to learn the basics first.
So, basically, increase the fsb a little. So, for example, from 1333 to 1400. See if it's stable, if it isn't try bumping up vcore one notch and try again. If not try Northbridge. Then later move on to stuff like the fsb term.
Test stability using prime95, there is a 64-bit multi-core aware version floating around somewhere. Try the ftp server linked to in the "hot use prime95" sticky on here.
Tbh with your OC you shouldn't need to touch any other voltages, or really use the gtl ref settings. What exactly is "sufficient" cooling though? Stock?
*EDIT: on a side note, just so you don't think I'm deliberately being awkward not telling you specific voltages, they wouldn't do you any good. Every cpu/mobo can handle different freq. at different voltages. Also, use cpu-z to check on your actual voltage and make sure you don't raise it beyond 1.3625 (I think that's right, it's 1.36something anyway)
Thanks for the tips. The reason I wanted to jump straight to FSB 1600 is because the MSI p7n is really picky and only likes 1:1 ratios.
My "sufficient cooling" is an aftermarket heatsink, high performance thermal paste, and MASSIVE airflow through my case. If you want specifics, its the Scythe Zipzang

CPU Voltage - No one can tell you this.
NB voltage - Depends on what frequency you want
SB voltage - What's your HDD setup?
NB Memory reference voltage - Auto
DIMM memory reference voltage - Auto
Memory terminator voltage - Auto
CPU GTL reference voltage - Depends on speed and other voltages
NB GTL reference voltage - Same as above
FSB terminator voltage - Depends on CPU voltage and CPU/FSB clock speed
SB sleep mode voltage - Auto
PCI Expander PLL voltage - Auto
My recommendation is do some reading. Guessing leads to dead hardware.
6GBs smells like mixing modules... Or do you have 3 modules?
First of all, I already stated the frequencies that I wanted in the top post, and fairly clearly at that.
CPU shouldnt be too hard to figure out, as there are very few to choose from. I'll try to get back to you on that one
I have 5, 7200rpm SATA 3.0 drives. It sometimes runs with only 4, as one is a hot swap.
My ram IS mixed, unfortunately. I'm using 2x 1gig sticks, and 2x 2gig sticks. However, both sets have heatsinks, and are rated at 800mhz, 4-4-4-12, 2t, timings. (2.1v)
I AM running them in dual channel.
If this helps you suggest voltages please do, If not, then I will just have to start trying using nihilkrist's suggestions.

MSI P7N Diamond Burnt Out!

Hi,
It's now been a good few weeks for me trying to set-up a new computer after having replaced the motherboard a couple of times and buying better power supply etc. But I've now got a new issue with this P7N Diamond and it's the second time it's happened (already RMA'd it once before with same issue). Each time it's happened I've only had the basic items connected, power supply, motherboard, graphics card, memory, cpu and fans.
Basically what happens is that the computer powers on for a few seconds but there is an immediate burning smell from the motherboard. When I removed the motherboard I found that a thin strip of copper around the under side edge of the board, almost directly below the bottom fan connector (SYSFAN4), has burnt away exposing the cooper itself and split. I've checked for anthing shorting the board in the case and all the case/motherboard screws are in the correct place.
When it first happened I thought maybe its the PSU (I used my older Antec 470W on the first RMA'd board) or a faulty board, so I upgraded to the Corsair PSU and got the board replaced, but its now happened again!
Obviously I don't want this happening again so any idea what would cause this?
Would it be the fan connected to SYSFAN4? It's a Scythe Fan rated at 0.26A and I think I had it connected both times when the board blew. If it was the Fan how would a board allow this type of thing to happen, should it not have built in protection to stop things burning out like this?

All my fans are plugged into the P7N. All of them came with the Cosmos case except the CPU fan which I bought seperately. So far (knock on polycarbonate), no "charco' for a mobo". (All fans are 120mm including the one I bought)
I read that the Cosmos although quiet is not too good at staying cool and lots recommended changing the default cosmos fans with better ones, so I changed them all to Scythe fans except the CPU fan, which is an Arctic Cooler 12 PWM Fan, as the Sycthe's don't have four pin plugs.
Quote from: Pchas01 on 10-May-08, 02:24:34
And, curious, why are you plugging a Scythe fan into the #4 conector? There are three others closer to the CPU if you're cooling the CPU). I use all 4 connectors with no issues at all. Last question, is it a 5v fan, 12v fan..? Ah, good luck with the Stryker if that's what you want..it's a good board.
I have about five Scythe Fans and one Arctic Cooling CPU Fan. The AC CPU Fan was using the CPU Fan connector and the other four connectors had the Scythe fans attached. I just thought it had something to do with the #4 connector because the burn out was so near. The Scythe fans are 12v, could that be the reason?
Yeah I got the Striker II board now, but seem to be having the issue I original had with my first MSI P7N board with the Coolermaster PSU it just flashes on for split second and cuts out. I thought having this Corsair 750W PSU I wouldn't have that issue any more. As soon as I plug in my cheap gfx card it works fine! I just seem to have no luck at the moment. (Yes I've got the gfx power plug in )
Quote from: NovJoe on 11-May-08, 12:57:46
Sound like a surge shorting either from the fan or the chassis.
Try removing some of the unneccessary standoffs and see if problem re-occurs. 2 boards can't have the same problem repeat that easily.
I only had the standoffs for the nine holes in the board so should not have had anything shorting it out.
I got a ASUS Striker II now anyway and so far it works, but I'm only powering the CPU Fan from the board now, all the others I'm going to do direct through the PSU. Just need to get it working with Geforce 8800GT now.

Any News (MSI) P6N Diamond (680i) SLI Motherboard

Any one know about the release of (MSI) P6N Diamond (680i) SLI Motherboard

Quote
honestly, if it's not for SLI, I think I'll wait for ATI, ops, AMD RD600 chipset mobo instead.
I complete agree with that. Just getting bored with the Opteron system. I have an insider I am getting a e6600 from for 1/2 price this week, so I was looking at boards. Think I want to try the 680i over the 975, and while the RD600 looks like it will be a winner it's still a ways out.
MSI had stated end of December for the P6N and that time is upon us.
Honestly after the last purchase I swore I would never buy another MSI, but I kind of crave pain that way, after about a year of mods on this current board, and emails with the MSI BIOS crew I think the K8N SLI was the 2nd best Nforce 4 board made out there. Plus it gives me another forum area to read here beside the Nvidia, and overclocking sections.

Msi p7n-diamond and coolermaster hyper48

Hi friends
Just wanted to know whether coolermaster CPU cooler Hyper48 will fit with msi p7n-diamond mobo with intel q6600.Will it work?
Kindly suggest

I can't answer specifically, but did purchase and install a Rosewill RCX-Z4 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler for my p7n board with an E8400 processor. I looked at that Coolermaster product but was a little concerned it wouldn't fit because of the heat pipes. I opted to use the Rosewill brand as it had a better form factor, and it vents out the top of my case.
My only complaint about the Rosewill is you can't get to the CPU power connectors on the board (8 pin) inside the case with the cooler attached. The fan assembly gets in the way.

Problem with MSI P45 Platinum DDR2 mainboard and Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D Ram

Hi, I have encountered with a problem.
First I had
MSI p45 platinum ddr2 bios ver. 1,4
Intel E8400
Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D 2x1Gb
2 Asus ATI EAH 3870 Crossfire
and it was running with windows XP without any problems.
Problems began when I decided to upgrade to 6Gb of ram and to install Vista 64. Ram modules witch I bought are the same Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D, but 2x2GB.
When i put them together adjust voltage 2.1v and timing 5-5-5-15 they fail mem test with huge amount of errors.
when I test only 2x2gb modules memtest sometimes doesn't open at all, sometimes just stops working on 8 minutes of test. couple of times they completed memtest without any errors.
Can someone advice what should I do and what could the problem?
Thank you for your answers.

1) the modules are not the same (the DDR2 chips are different)
2) as general rule, mixing 2x1GB with 2x2GB is a bad idea.

MSI GeForce GTX 780 SLI question.

Hi,
I wonder if my MSI GeForce GTX 780 Gaming OC is compatible with the MSI GeForce GTX 780 Lightning LE in SLI?
Thanks!
BR, Tobias

as long as both cards are using the same GPU (GTX 780 GK110) and they both have the same amount of VRAM (EG: 3GB+3GB) then they will be able to be used in SLI as long as your PSU can power both of them!
you can use SLI even with different manufacturers cards so long as its the same spec (GPU) as the other and the VRAM frame buffers match each other as both need the same amount!

MSI - P7N Diamond ESATA doesn't work under XP

I have 2 P7N Diamond motherboards and am running XP Pro/sp2.
I have never been able to get the esata ports to work. I have spent the last 4 months RMAing boards back and forth to MSI. I have tried at least 4 motherboards, 3 esata external drives, and 3 cables (all 6 feet).
Sometimes on the upper port (lower port doesn't work at all), the drives get detected in bios as gibberish. Other times it is listed correctly in post, but then I get a "9th slave hard disk error". I press F1 to resume, enter the bios, and the drive shows up. The drive never gets detected in windows, however.
In bios I have the Extra IDE/RAID Controller enabled and RAID mode is set to IDE.
In XP I have the JMP36X IDE Controller installed.
During all this time, MSI Tech Support has insisted that I am doing everything right. I called them last night and they mentioned doing an rma yet again, but when I called back today and talked to someone else, he told me that esata only works under vista in AHCI mode. He said that it won’t work under XP in IDE or AHCI mode.
Hope someone can help me!!

Thanks for the reply.
Quote from: NovJoe on 19-July-09, 17:51:41
Have you tried to install the RAID controller driver using F6 option by using the XP installation disc?
I did that when I installed XP.
Someone provided this link to set up AHCI mode. Plan to try that in the next day or two.

MSI P7N Diamond - New PC Build - Need Help Posting

I just finished connecting my P7N Diamond out of the case and powered on my new build for the first time and saw BIOS version, HDD information, and the bad checksum message on the screen. I also saw the "Press DEL to enter BIOS" and the "F2 To Continue" messages.
Pressing the DEL key on the keyboard resulted in nothing happening at all. I soon realized that the keyboard wasn't responding and I had no num lock light at all after pressing the Num Lock key multiple times. I started with a generic, USB keyboard and then swapped keyboards to an older, still working one I had with a PS/2 connector.
Still no keyboard lights but magically it entered BIOS after I plugged it in the PS/2 socket and immediately asked if I wanted to exit BIOS without saving. Pressing the "Y" key did nothing. Pressing <ESC> did nothing. The keyboard seemed frozen.
I pressed the RESET button on the motherboard and this caused a re-boot but now with a black screen (no messages at all). I powered it down, removed the power cords and then pressed the "clear CMOS" button. Re-connected the power cords and powered it on; but still a black screen. Powered it down, removed the power cords and removed the battery for 1 minute (I even pressed the clear CMOS button again). Re-connected the power cords, powered it up and still have a black screen.
I know this is the place where all the experts hang out, so any help will be appreciated.

Just an update...
New build is working very well at this point.
I've set the voltage in BIOS to 2.1 for the memory and installed Vista Ultimate, updated it via Windows Update site, applied the memory patch. I've discovered that I have a bad stick of memory as no matter what slot I place this one stick of memory in, the PC fails to post, so I'm running with 3x1GB sticks. I've ordered new memory that should be here today; Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX.
The only problem I've encountered thus far is with one of my NVIDIA RAID arrays in "Degraded" status (mirror broken). This happened after I had applied the latest MS patches and a re-boot. I didn't suspect a HDD failure because the drives are new and the status of each drive was displaying as HEALTHY. I did my research on this site and discovered the solution which was to delete one of the two drives (I chose the one with the least amount of data) from the array and then added it back into the same array. The re-build took about 2 hours (they are 400GB Segate drives) and now it's working as advertised. I suspect a software problem caused this as one of the two drives was showing that it had less data (used) than the other drive.
My next steps are to install the new memory, test it with memtest86+ and then begin the OC ritual.
Thanks again for your help, Jason and Aaron Yuri.

For UK/EU area, Chillblast has them in stock

I'm not sure they have the lowest prices there though...
(I just received one from them yesterday, so I know they did have them in stock, they're still labelled in stock)
Before you do get one, check your PSU is going to do the job - There seems to be a comical PSU issue with the boards requiring a deprecated -5V line on the 24pin connector in order to power the onboard sound.

Re: MSI P7N Diamond - SLI 16x?

Hi, sorry to bump this thread, but I just purchased this board, a refurbised one for dirt cheap. (I have noticed that it is not the "platinum" one though - can you explain to me if theres a difference?)
My question is, I'm going to finnally build myself a gaming rig (I can't afford i7 so please don't recommend) and I was wondering if this was a good motherboard to go with. OCing wise etc etc. If its not, I'm going to sell it in (the initial idea when I first bought it) and get another one. If this is not a good MB, what MB would you guys recommend?
Thanks!
Edit: It does say on the box that it supports PCI-e 2.0. My question is, will it run in SLI in PCI-e 2.0? i.e if I slot one GPU into the 2.0 and another into the 1.1... Which speed will it run at?

If its a diamond, then this is the board:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1372
It has 2 PCIe 2.0 x16 and 1 PCIe 1.x @x16/x8, if I read right, so yes its capable of SLi and even triple SLi.
So the first 2 cards run at full PCIe2.0 @x16 and the 3th slot will do PCIe 1.x @x16/x8 (which is similar to PCIe 2.0 @x8/x4).
The third slot is, if im correct PCIe 1.x @x16 when the first two slots are unoccupied and PCIe 1.x @x8 when the slots 1 and/or2 are occupied, but not too sure about that.
And for gaming its a really nice board imo, you can use the latest Yorkfield quadcores, if you need one of those and it has plenty of OC features.
Mine is the P6N platinum and Im still very fond of it.
Its a little older and has only 2x PCIe 1.x @x8, but its sufficient for my needs and with current cards (see sig), if I SLi them, I can play almost any game @1440*900 at full, except for the hefty ones like Crysis, but I cant be bothered by such a game.
MW2, WoW, Left for Dead, FEAR2 etc, all maxed
I would take that board any day and I hope you enjoy it too.
Btw, look here for cpu comparisons:

Also check cpu support on the first link, to be sure its gonna work.

All of this is going In a Cooler Master 830 Case. The monitor i run is A Viewsonic 245bw 24". So Anyways does any body have any comments on this board or suggestions or any problems. I would be interested in hearing Them.Thanks

In cell menu...change auto settings for FSB to "Manual" and then adjust CPU FSB in small increments until you get a stable overclock. Ie;..std FSB is 1333mhz...increase it to 1500 mhz and save and reboot. Small increases in CPU voltage may be necessary for a stable OC. If you want to see the full speed in CPU-Z you will have to disable C1E in Advanced bios....CPU...then hit "F4" to show the hidden C1E option. If you dont disable C1E, you will see the true OC fsb in bios when booting, but the C1E will "throttle" the multiplier back in Windows to a 6 or 7. At full load, the max FSB will kick in automatically. Hope this helps get you started in the right track.
