MSI P7N SLI Platinum and OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition

Hello,
I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum nForce 750i SLI motherboard and I would like to inquire if it is fully compatible with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition memory? Firstly, I do not seem to get the correct timings with the default settings, speed is not very good, after 5 hours of running Memtest86+ there was 30 errors. I have never had the memory crash and games seem to run fine, but the memory feels much slower than it should be. Is the memory supposed to work fine with this motherboard and I'm just imagining everything? I don't know if I'm also supposed to be worried by the errors Memtest86+ returned?
Thank you in advance for any help.

If memtest returned errors, yes
Well, there does not have to be a problem with the memory just because it returned errors. There could be many other explanations why there are errors.

Jacobl, please post full system specs. Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of the details you should provide.
How many modules of what capacity do you have? What are your current RAM-related BIOS settings?
If you have more than one stick of RAM, please test each stick seperately with memtest86+ and see if the errors are caused by one of the sticks only. Otherwise there is no way to tell if there is a compatibility problem or just a faulty memory stick.
Please post a link to the OCZ product site and also a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" tab.
I have this memory: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_sli_ready_edition_4gb_dual_channel.
This is the rest of the components as instructed by the forum post you linked to:
Intel E8200
MSI P7N SLI Platinum
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Gigabyte Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI
500GB Western Digital SATA
SATA DVD burner
Windows XP SP3
Antec 500W PSU
I usually troubleshoot components step by step - eliminating all possible reasons until I have found the solution. My first step was to post here to find out if there are any known compatibility issues with the motherboard and memory. I adjusted the memory timings with a slight overclock because the motherboard did not load the default timings by default. I will start by adjusting the BIOS settings, check if the memory is inserted into the right DIMM slots and then test the memory sticks one by one. But to answer my own question: I think the motherboard and memory should have no compatibility issues and it must be something else.

I have the OCZ 6400 Fatal1ty modules 2x2 GB that is very similar of the ones you ask.And they are running perfectly but i must set the epp latency and voltaje values in BIOS! The simple modules of ocz are in the memory compatibilty list i thought that the SLI and Falal1ty modules are just the same with a little boost.
I had to set the right timings also. As far as I know, the SLI and Fatal1ty modules are probably the same, just with a little boost. I think it would be very strange if a module with the name "SLI-Ready Edition" and a Nforce 750i motherboard would not be compatible together.
Anyway, any other advice on what steps I should take? I assume by now that the motherboard and memory should work together without problem. Sorry if I started out bad by not following the posting guidelines on the forum.

P45 platinium and OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 problems w/ 4 x 1 gig but not 2 x 1

I have an MSI P45 Platinum with 2 gigs (2 x 1 gig) running at 5-5-5-15, 1:1.2 1066/800 voltage on auto and it's passing Memtest86 tonight. I will keep iot running all night. This system was stable till I tried adding 2 more gigs for a toal of 4 x 1 gig. It will not POSt with all chips installed. I tried everything and MSI is not a big help. OCZ told me to do 6-6-6-18 at 2.1 - 2.2v and run it at 800 and maybe raise the NB voltage up to 1.4v. None of that worked.
The system just will not POSt with 4 chips installed. I am memtesting the new RAM chips all night.
This really pisses me off. What happend to the days when you just stick the memory in and all auto settings were fine. I am not an over clocker, I just want my PC to work!
HELP!
CPU is a Q9550

kourosh,
It did not work.
Anyway OCZ told me (via online support portal) that since the memory kits don't work together, I should contact the seller (NewEgg) and try to exchange for matching memory. I repeated my my statement in fact that they do work when mixed... just not all 4 gigs. They replied with the same comment, albeit more detailed. I repeated the fact and asked them to make it clear that they can do nothing more for me. They tod me again that since the memory kits don't work together and they past my Memtests, they are not defective so they can't grant an RMA. I repeated the fact (AGAIN) that they do work together. I am waiting for another reply. I think I am done with this company's memory for future purchases. I just want them to be straight and they can't even do that. I'd have more respect for them and prbably make future purchases if they were just straight forward. After all, Business is Business.

Dual Core Center- MSI P6N SLI Platinum and MSI 8800 GTS 640

I have both the MSI 650i MOBO and the MSI 8800 GTS vidcard. When using an Asus P5B Dlx MOBO and this vidcard, Dual Core Center was installed and displayed the information for the videocard and allowed a mild OC. Now with both MSI products in the case, Dual Core Center only displays the information on the MOBO-- no 8800 GTS information. The tab at the top for the VGA does not bring up anything. ??? I have tried installing the version on each one of the disks that came with each piece of equipment again and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it doesn't work. I downloaded the most recent version of the utility from the MSI site and still get only the MOBO information. How do I get the display for the video card.
Or since the MSI utilities typically are listed on the forums as not being the greatest, what else can I/should I be using instead?
{I'll put this in the graphics forum too as it hits both areas...}

Running a P6N SLI Platinum and a MSI 7900GTO with Dualcorecenter 2004 and everything is ok.
Never installed any driver from the MSI CD which comes with the board or graphics card. All drivers are downloaded
from Nvidia.
Maybe the 8800 series is not supported yet.

have you tried uping the voltage, the black dragon works perfect at 1066 from 2.2v to 2.4v, however the gskill requires 2.3v to work perfect at 1066 (so my setup its 2x1gb geil and 2x1gb gskill (total 4gb) voltage set to 2.3v) if i dont set 2.3v i get completely random restarts (could be after afew hours or afew days), all passed with prime and occt.
just in case, after bios reset ddr is set to 800 as default ,go into bios and set divider to 1066, then set timings to 5-5-5-15 (dont use auto/sli ready) bios sets strange timings by default at 1066 then set voltage and save.
I've tried everything and even chatted with MSI Techs over it all, been back and forth between MSI and OCZ for about a month now.. bottom line, MSI told me was that they don't certify or support OCZ ddr1066 on the K9N2 SLI Plat; which OCZ Techs told me, basically. B.S! ...claiming they tested the Board themselves when it came out. However OCZ doesn't even have the Board listed on their RAM Configurator on their website; which they claim is MSI's fault... and so on, and so on...
Anyway, OCZ is offering to swap my Reaper Set for a different Model set which they claim is more reliable on AMD processors. Probably their Gold or SLI model set I'd guess; they don't even advertise on their website any difference in their sticks being "Intel Certified" or "AMD Certified" ... and so on.
Worse case scenario; if in the end whatever they give me still doesn't work, I'll EBAY it and try a set of those geIL Black Dragons.

Confused - whats the difference between K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Diamond??

MSI web page says the Diamond has:
"Silicon Image's SATA RAID supports another 2 SATA II ports. Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s."
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=638
their Platinum page doesn't list the Silicone Image raid as a feature on the Platinum.
I have K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum and it has the Silicone Image raid - I'm using it now.
Can anyone explain this?
Another question: for both boards it shows: "NV RAID (Software) - - RAID function available for ATA133 + SATA HD drives or 2 SATA HD"
How can the Raid fuction work for ATA133 drives since the cables for SATA and PATA are different? What do the mean Raid for 133?
Thanks!!!

Re: Does Satellite A200-10w supports DDR2 PC2-6400 RAM?

HI guys ,
Please i wanna to know does my [toshiba a200-10w|http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?LNG=13&service=AE&PRODU CT_ID=127560&DISC_MODEL=1] supports DDR2 PC2-6400 RAM, because i need to upgrade my ram but all i found in the market is DDR2 PC2-6400.
I already got 1 module 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 installed, so if i get on 2GB DDR2 PC2-6400, it will work or not?
And if it will work does the dual channel feature will work?
About the HDD what is the maximum HDD capacity i can in stall in the same model because i'll get 1TB , so this will work ?
PS : my OS is windows 7 professional ..
Thanks much guys ..

Hi
The notebook supports the Intel 945GM chipset.
This chipset seems to support max 533MHz.
So if you would plug 667MHz memory modules, then the system would still works at 533MHz.
The modules are DDR2 so I dont see any reasons why the dual channel should not work in your case.
>About the HDD what is the maximum HDD capacity i can in stall in the same model because i'll get 1TB , so this will work ?
Notebook supports SATA interface. The SATA controller has not limitation to the HDD size so theoretically you should be able to use such big HDD but to be honest; I never used such big HDD. The biggest one which I used in by notebook was 500GB and this was big enough.
However, you will need to test it to b e100% sure.

DDR2 PC2-6400 vs DDR2 PC2-6300

I'd like to max out my Mac Pro as far as RAM. This machine is mainly used for still graphics, not motion if it matters. In my case would I notice a difference between DDR2 PC2-6400 and DDR2 PC2-5300 DIMMs. Are the 6400's worth the extra cash?

32gb on the previous model? And I thought just 16. Then I'll have to rethink all of this. I may only max out one bay for now then. I'll definately get the 2x4 DIMM's and not the 4x2's, so that I can squeeze in as much as possible.
BTW, I do plan on another machine this year, but will be keeping the current one also.
Edit in: what did you mean by "4 x N"?

DDR2 PC2-6400 AMD/Toshiba

Hey everyone. I am a first time poster here. I know Toshiba won't listen to me here, but for anyone that has any
Knowhow of Toshiba laptops hopefully can give me some information. So I have a Toshiba A215-S4757 which I have owned for a while. I love my laptop to the point where I bought another Toshiba model for my brother. I am a very good customer if a company sells me a good product. But Toshiba has done something to my laptop that has me rethinking about buying Toshiba again and I want to know why. After I bought my laptop, I upgraded the ram to DDR2 PC2-6400 with 5 CAS. (Kingston kit KVR800D2S5K2/4G from newegg). At the time I was still running the initial bios release. I don't do bios updates until a problem affects me. I saw there was a bios password glitch going around with the A215-S4757 so I updated to bios version 1.70 at the time. Which from 1.20 had a load of changes. New video bios, fixed possible password glitch and other things. Today I wanted to see what more has changed with the laptop bios in just the change log. I see that from 1.80 and up the ram is now forced at PC2 5300. It's bad enough I have to use a oem bios that they get to enforce this. I will not upgrade of course to keep my ram at the faster speed. The only thing the change log says is "The memory bus frequency was set to the PC2-5300 specification based on AMD recommendation." That same update claims "chipset register was modified to fine tune WLAN performance based on AMD recommendation". So can someone explain what the bright reason for slowing the ram speed was? Is it possible to get an full bios for this machine from Toshiba? I don't care to much, ill stick with 1.70 bios. But I want to know why they did this?

I don't think that's it Chris. If you check out the Change History for the bios for that system you'll see that it is a global change.
Change History
Version 2.00 - 2008-06-20
•Added: Samsung and LG panel support (LTN154AT07-T01, LP154WX4-TLC8).
•Added: Brightness tables for new panels.
Version 1.90 - 2008-02-29
•Corrected an intermittent black screen issue.
Version 1.80 - 2007-11-08
•The memory bus frequency was set to the PC2-5300 specification based on AMD recommendation.
•A chipset register was modified to fine tune WLAN performance based on AMD recommendation.

MSI P7N Platinum and 8800GT of 8800GTS in SLI with everest is FREEZE

Hello,
I want to warn users of the msi p7n platinum with the 750i chipset who use everest 4.50.1372 and a 8800GT or 8800GTS 512 mb (with a G92 CPU) in SLI that they can get freez problems.
I got a extra 8800GT card and go SLI but the computer got random freezes after that.
My system:
Windows xp sp2 with an Q6600 2GB pc-6400 ram, 4 hd's (2 ide, 2 sata), dvd-writer and a dvd-rom. Latest 1.2 bios.
It was very frustrated and also mailing msi support in The Netherlands didn't help (they thought it was a problem with the powersupply). The computer just got frozen with the last picture on screen and didn't respond at all (not a single error msg). Sometimes in minutes and other times in hours. Only option after that was a hard reset.
To make a very long story short (i tried every beta bios out there with every bios setting) . I sold one of the 8800GT's and bought a SLI set with 8800GTS 512mb in the hope the problem was with the different brands of cards (EVGA and TWINTECH with the 8800GT's). But the problem was even worse with the 8800GTS 512mb G92 (from Point of View). So i take a look at the software and found out that the problem was with the everest monitor software that displays all kinds of info on my G15 keyboard. After i disabled everest i had not a single lockup anymore.
Also the latest beta of everest that i downloaded yesterday gave the same problems!
Everest was in fact the last program i disabled cause i used that to see what the temperatures of the CPU and GPU where at the moment the computer didn't respond
Mabye more ppl have this problem and are using everest and i hope that they find this thread Dunno if the problem is also with other brands and chipsets (like the 780i or 790i)

luckyjan, thank you for your feedback on this. Interesting find.

¿Could work together a MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum and a Radeon HD 4890-HD489XZSFC?

Hello. I know that nVidia and Ati chips are not the best friends. However, I have a very good price and opportunity to buy the XFX RadeonHD 4890 1 GB DDR5 HD489XZSFC. Should I try? Actually I`m running a MSI 9600GT-OC which is not bad at all. This 4890 seems to be really great, I`ve been reading a lot of customer reviews and all of them were delighted.
K9N2 use the DDR2 memory and this GPU has the DDR5.
What do you think about?
Regards,
Florin

We are not going to recommend other manufacturers competing products. ATI video cards and NVIDIA MOBOS should have no problem working together. So, an MSI Radeon 4890 should not have any issue with a K8N2 SLI Platinum.

MSI K8N SLI Platinum and 4x512 DDR

Hello everybody,
My problem is with a 2nd kit of 2x512 MB DDR I bought recently. I had a pair of Kingston KHX3200ULK2 512 MB and unfortunately this model was discontinued, so I got another 2x512 MB DDR, this time Geil UltraX which should work @ 5-2-2-2-1T.
When leaving everything on auto, the motherboard sets the 4 modules at DDR333 with the tightest timing. I want to run them in DDR400, so I set them up manually @ 5-2-2-2-2T. In this config, everything is unstable. Sometimes the system doesn't boot, sometimes I get blue screens, etc.
Can somebody help me with some ideas ? The system appears to run stable with timings setup at 6-4-4-2-2T, but I really paid a lot on those modules and I'd like to squeeze the most out of them.
Thanks in advance
System config following (not overclocked)
MSI K8N SLI Platinum
AMD64 4000+ Clawhammer

Latest test I did: DDR400 with 5-2-3-2-2T. Ran Prime95 for more than 4 hours and no errors. Still have to check with some games, maybe a 3DMark in loop.
Will come back with updates.
Thanks.
it's nice to be right

MSI P6N SLI Platinum and SLI!

Hello!
This motherboard comes with that SLI switch Card (required to be inserted before SLI function works)
Also how can I remove that card from its place?
And in what manner do I have to insert that card to make SLI function work?
Helpful replies will be appreciated...

Pull the 2 metal levers at the sides sideways and the card will flip out - Turn it around (Theres 2 arrows saying "non sli mode" and "sli mode") Put the side that says "sli mode" facing the connector, press it down and the metal clips will click back into place.

K9N2 Sli Platinum + SSD OCZ Vertex 3 = Slow Speed Problem [PARTIALLY SOLVED]

Hey folks,
I have a problem with my new SSD. I only get sequential reads of 140MB/s and writes of 114MB/s.
I think it is a driver related issue. I once got faster SATA2-like speeds but cannot reproduce the system settings again... Everything back to SATA1-like speeds after reboot.
First my pc specs:
MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum, BIOS v3.9
- 6 SATAII ports by nForce 750a SLI
- 2 ESATA (External-SATA) ports (back panel) by JMB363
- Supports storage and data transfers at up to 3 Gb/s
AMD Phenom II 965 Black
Patriot PV224G8500ELKB Viper II Series DDR2 4GB (2 x 2GB, CL5 PC-8500/1066MHz)
SSD SATAIII OCZ Vertex 3, 120GB, FW v2.11
LG Internal BlueRay BH10LS30
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I only get very slow speeds with the SSD. I tried so many things that I am getting very frustrated now, I am even thinking about getting a new board and ram just to get the SSD up to speed...
1)
I installed Win7 first with all the default settings in Windows Setup from DVD. Default "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" driver was "Standard AHCI1.0 Serial ATA Controller".
SSD was connected to SATA1-port, On-Chip Sata Controller AHCI enabled in BIOS, Extra RAID/IDE Controller disabled.
All fine, but whichever benchmark I used (AS SSD, HD Tune Pro, Atto Disk Benchmark, CrystalDiskMark; other tools used: DriveControllerInfo, AIDA64/Everest, CrystalDiskInfo ) I got e.g. 140MB/s Read and 114MB/s Write sequentially (CrystalDiskmark, similar with random data AND only zeros ).
Trim working (it seems) with AHCI driver. I also changed to nvstor64 driver (nforce driver setup 15.56), with is marginally faster but not what you would expect from a SATAIII drive on SATAII controller.
2)
I installed Win7 using "diskpart" (Shift-F10) during disk setup, setting a cluster size of 64k instead of default. No real change.
3)
After reinstall of Win7 x64 (again...), I changed from SATA1 port to SATA6 port, also enabled Extra Raid/IDE controller set to AHCI as well.
Nothing changed. With all settings to default in Windows (ahci default driver), I then manually updated the ahci to nvstore64 driver in Device Management, rebooted.
Then a minute later after reboot I got the following Sequential speeds with CrystalDiskMark:
273MB/s read and 137MB/s write (random data) + 274MB/s read and 220MB/s write (with zeros) !!!
While I ran this benchmark Windows came up with a message: "You must restart your computer to apply these changes - Restart Now/Restart Later".
After the previos reboot, when I changed manually from AHCI to NVSTORE, I had changed nothing in the current session, apart from running CrystalDiskMark.
I did reboot and I was back to the slow SSD speeds again = 140/114 MB/s...
4)
I have tried every possible combination of mainboard SATA ports, drivers changing with nvidia setup/manually, deleting and disabling controllers (incl BSOD and startup repair :D ), chaning bios settings around, but I just cannot get back the faster speeds
There is never any change in speed, whether I use ahci or nvstore64, whichever benchmark I use, whether random or zeros...
5)
Could the SSD be broken, something internally preventing it from faster speeds (with this one random exception)?
Could it be that my K9N2 SataPorts only allows for / reduced to SATA1 speeds?
Am I missing something with the driver setup?
Do I need additional drivers for the extra JMicron Controller when using SataPorts 5/6 ?
I have no other mainboard to test this with...
Please guys, I am going to jump out of the window if I can't fix it... :(
Thanks, Mike

Hey guys - problem 'solved':
I tested the OCZ SSD Vertex 3 120GB with following sata3 controller card http://www.lycom.com.tw/PE-115H.htm.
The card itself works immediately (needs at least PCIe x4 slot, will work slower otherwise but still faster than the OCZ SSD @sata1 with nvidia chipset).
There is some raid setup, doesn't apply to me, the boot even with the card is really only a few seconds longer and not annoying at all. Windows (7 x64) needed a driver, supplied on CD (which is cheap and making noise like h**l). The card works w/o the driver but doesn't harm to install it...
Also, just to clarify, this sata controller card did not need any specific setup at all. Just put it in, plug in sata cable (I use akasa sata3-rated), maybe change boot device in BIOS (I didn't even have to), done - booting Windows as usual.
Benchmark CDM with sata controller card Lycom PE-115H:

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/7549/cdmpe115hahcirand.png
Speed is much better than before with nvidia chipset 750a SLI controller: sata1 (sata2 whenever it randomly worked):

http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6258/cdmahci0x0sata6contnv64.png
Final thoughts:
Well, I am happy with the SSD speed now (PCIe limited to 5Gbps). However, I had to spent quite some time to get it working on my sata2-cabable mainboard. Finally, I had to buy a extra controller card to get it working reliably at speeds faster than sata1. There is hardly any useful information on why this problem occurs with (older) nvidia chipsets and OCZ (sata3) SSDs. I still think that OCZ must know about this problem, but regards this issue as low priority, while at the same time not planning on giving up on sales to people with nvidia chipsets. Maybe OCZ should just make a big sticker on the box the drives come in with something like "Does/Might not work with nvidia chipsets, please use third-party sata controller card or different SSD manufacturer". But then none of these potential customers would buy OCZ SSDs...
I will keep the sata3 controller, anyway handy to have, but return the OCZ Vertex 3 120GB and replace it with a SSD from a different manufacturer (Corsair Force GT, Patriot and OWC are not that great to get around here). The benchmarks for most people will not achieve the maximum advertised OCZ speeds anyway, so why not go with a brand that allows for some plug'n'play with some customer support.
Hope this post helps others like me with their nvidia chipset + sata1 speed problem
Cheers, Mike

K9A Platinum and 4GB DDR2-800

I'm a major MSI fan and have been for a long time. My computers (even my customer's) are MSI boards.
Recently, I upgraded my motherboard, ram and processor to the new AM2 core (ok, not really new, but w/e). I have the following items:
MSI K9A Platinum
4GB DDR2 800 (2x2GB) G.Skill 5-5-5-15
Athlon X2 5200+ Windsor 65w w/2x1MB cache
2x ATI Radeon x1650 256 DDR2 (Crossfire'd)
1x 200GB SATA2
1x 300GB SATA2
2x 500GB SATA2
My previous system had:
MSI K8N Neo-4F
4x 1GB Kingston DDR 400
Athlon X2 4800+
Ok. So heres my problem:
I installed each 2GB stick into slot 1 to verify they work and I got all 2GB. Shut down and installed each 2GB at each channel (DIMM1 and DIMM3) and BIOS reports 2544MB total. I look in BIOS and it says Physical Memory = 4096MB, Usable Memory = 2544MB. (This is before I even installed windows.) So, I tried to see if windows would report differently and after installing, it reported the same 2.48GB of ram. Now I know that Windows 32-bit can only go up to 3.2GB and I have no problem with that. My previous setup reported all 4GB of ram... so whats different about this board that it doesn't use all the memory available?
If this is an issue with the Processor, then let me know. I paid for 4GB, not 2.5GB. I expected at most 3.2GB.
And no. I won't go Vista. And Windows x64 has little to no support for a lot of what I do/have. So I won't use it either.
Thanks for your help in advance.

@ BOSSKILLER:
I've done the single and dual vga test. I even placed the ram in single channel mode and it did the same.
@ Bas:
Its default. I'll paste it here.
