MSI P7N2 Diamond

I want to buy P7N2 Diamond. Kindly tell me this about its availability.

Not yet seen in SG as well.
I'll give and take a few more weeks before it hits the shelves.

MSI P7N2 Diamond vs PSU Silver power 850W

Halo!
I bought MSI P7N2 Diamond and set it witch PSU Silver Power 850W.
I would like to ask you whether the value of V is normal. Especially at +12 Vol.
The voltage values read in Bios.Bios version 1.1 and something here does not agree.
System is not stable sometimes hangs..
Please help. The power supply is new but I have concerns about the power supply,
because this is the first one of the 5 motherboards which worked in this configuration..

If it really was 2.64V on the +12V rail, your MOBO wouldn't even post. That reading is a wrong reading. What are you using to check the voltages? What is shown in the BIOS?
i really had serious problems .Two A..S Striker 2 Extreme down ,2 MSI P7N2 diamond mobo down {[3 x ( start,5sec -> freze)] and no post anymore} And suddenly the third P7N2 Diamond working.
Nothing changed. How to explain this?

MSI P7N2 Diamond with 9450... Questions!

I passed from an EVGA 790i Ultra to a MSI P7N2 Diamond (Same Chipset but the MSI is far more stable).
I would like to set my Q9450 to 3.2GHz. I was at 3.2 on my Evga.
I was wondering if one of you has some bios settings for this frequency on the P7N2? (core voltable, MCP voltage, etc)

Quote from: titom91 on 21-August-08, 19:40:45
No, Those values where when I was on a EVGA 790i Ultra... And the 1.3625V was because the system was lowering the Voltage on the cores... What i mean is that when you were setting for example 1.3V, the system was set at a lower voltage and when the system was not idle anymore, the cores couldn't reach the voltage they needed (the voltage set and the maximum voltage possible where not the same).
I am currently on overclocking my MSI board... I just got the ram stable at 1600 and atacking on the CPU...
What i wanted by setting this post is to know what range of voltages and frequencies people who had the same setup were having... to compare when done...
I know the voltage drops, vdroop, but 1.3625 is mental all the same. Mine's at about 1.32 for 3.4Ghz, and I can run it at much lower voltages for 3.2
What voltages/settings have you tried with the MSI board? And my board runs fine at 400fsb, if you want to see if there's an fsb hole just drop down to 395 (1580qdr) or something.

MSI P7N2 Diamond won't boot

hi,
My P7N2 Diamond won't boot. when i first tested it at my friend's house, the problem already occurred. but i was not sure if it was complete bricked because the processor we used was listed supported only under the new bios.
so i brought it home and tried it with an older processor, the E6300 . still no luck.
one thing i noticed, every time i power up the board, the hdd_led, power_led, and standy_led are turned on all together. BUT, i have no HDD attached....
what could possibly wrong with my motherboard? btw, the memory i used is a Kingston DDR3 kvr133303n9/2g
any advice/help will do. thanks

Yes it's barebone setup. just proc , mem, vid card, psu, ps2 keyboard.
out of the pc case too?

Yes it worked before but i am unsure what setup was before. a friend gave this to me. just upgraded to i5 so he gave it to me.
worked before with what parts? what is changed?

MSI P7N2 diamond M/B stuck on the m/b flash screen on start up.

Hi, my problem is that my motherboard (p7n2 diamond) is staying on the screen that is supposed to come up for about 3 seconds on start up, it wont let me get into the bios or anything, because my keyboards aren't working with it for some reason. Ive tried both usb and ps2 keyboards, neither work. I am pretty sure that i have connected all the internal cables correctly. If anyone could give me any suggestions to why its not working, or even how to fix it, would be appreciated. Thanks.

P7N2 Diamond Buggy bios, 790i chipset failure corrupt data, bios update msi?

Well I run a business that does photography for major concerts in Sydney. I upgraded my multi display computer to increase the amount of lcd's I could have going. That's when this all started.
Specs.
1500watt thermaltake toughpower
q9550 Intel quad core
2gig kit of corsair 2000MHz memory ( rated at 9-9-9-24 at 1.9 volts) TW3X2G2000C9DFNV matched pair
6 disk sata 2 raid 10
Asus striker 2 extreme.
2 x 9800gx2 and 2x 9600gt single slot cards. ( for a total of 8 LCD div ports without having to use a quadro card setup)
The asus undervolts allot of things off the get go causing the system to become as stable as a plate of jelly. Flashing the bios fixed nothing and 30 minutes later the computer would not post at all. So after owning it 1 day it went back. After researching hard I discovered about 50% can't get there striker 2 extreme working at all unless adjusting all voltages and underclocking it, allot of people are on there 3 or 4th board.
So I then bought a evega version which was dead on arrival. According to the supplier in Sydney andatech about 50% of these motherboard are DOA. Seems to crazy to be true.
So I went with the MSI P7N2 Diamond. SERIAL NUMBER 601-7523-010B0805142868
I am very happy with the design of this board but it has massive problems as well. My memory will not post in duel channel unless its on stock 1333MHz. I have to manually put in the vdimm voltages and timings of course. This too is a problem as CPU-Z says they are allot higher then I manually set.
So if i want to get the 2000MHz of my memory It has to be placed in dimm slot 1 and 2 in single channel mode. It wont work in duel channel configurations(Dimm slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4) or in single channel mode dimm slot 3 and 4.
Moving on! The computer at least is usuable. even though the bios is extremely buggy. But it sure has done better then it competitor's.
The other problem lies with the nvidia 790i chipset
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvidia.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2166
Above is link to nvidia admitting to the problem. Below another source just one of thousands, all you have to do to find them is type in the words nvidia data corruption into google.
http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=23047
Here are problems tied in with the 790i chipset
1. windows/hdd corruption/ system instability
2. FSB holes
3. HDD corruption/destruction
4. real voltages are notably lower than what is set in bios (mostly applies to nvidia reference boards)
The above was taken out of the following site
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=183119
To be honest it is just one of hundreds and hundreds having these major issues and its to easy to find people having the same problem. Bios update has been released for xfx asus and other 790i reference boards will MSI release one too? Asus has released about 6 bios updates so far at least. I know this is a new board I do not require six bios updates just one that makes the motherboard work the way it is meant too
This puts me in a hard position. If i wait to see if a bios will fix it I may not be able to return the motherboard. The bios update may not fix the issue at all anyhow. I am really sick of returning these things and would love to get one that works. I feel if I have to do it again I will not buy another motherboard and will seek alternate options as I am that tired of rebuilding this computer and struggling to make it work the way its capabilities are being advertised as.
Right now my computer is majorly underclocked just so my data integrity remains in tact. I am on my 5Th rebuild of windows and vista with this motherboard Ive managed to keep it stable at fsb 333x8.5 1333MHz and memory at 1000MHz. with all settings manually set.
This computer has cost around 6 grand and is a major business investment for me. Ive already had to cancel a major penrith gig because I can't guarantee my gear works, and if it does not stable. I could of spent 1/4 that amount and achieved similar performance.

One issue that may be hindering you is the amount of power being supplied by your motherboard to your PCIe card. The motherboard allows for 75W to be used by the PCIe for graphics cards, and with that many you may be depleting your system of power. This was an issue for some DFI boards a while back and now DFI adds extra power connectors to their motherboards at both of the main graphic PCIe connectors. Not sure if this board supports that option. but you definitely have way more than enough power to run your system without your PSU breaking a sweat.
If you need a quad-DVI board, some of the ATI 3870x2 cards have quad-DVI ports, usually the OC editions. not sure if MSI makes one yet. but you will lose SLI and crossfire won't work on that board. but they should work as 2 separate cards for 8 DVI ports. Also, ATI supports multi-monitor suport in crossfire mode as SLI doesn't or didn't last I checked.

as for waiting for a BIOS update, I'd definitely not wait past the deadline if it won't do exactly what you NEED. I find sometimes a BIOS fix never comes or there may be a bad design and a there's no possible way to fix things in a BIOS update.
Good luck
-=Mark=-
Ironic because I was discussing this speculation with a mate of mine. I Think it is highly likely, I also think it is a 790i chipset flaw / or a problem occuring with 3 gx2 initial pcie power drain. We where disussing the exact thing.
We also discuss alot of ATI options, hell they are the new nvidia as far as performance is concerned. There cpu's still suck sorry amd.
Hell you remind me alot of this mate of mine o0* wierd.
Anyway the only thing stopping me from going ati considering pending improvements to crossfire, and with pciex16 on second pcie ati crossfireboard now fairly standard removing bottlenecks, Is the fact I am not aware of a ati version of NVIEW
I know there is a old replica of NVIEW that may have been part of its devolpment process.
http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/
Notice is similiarities. Does it work with ATI, is it expried software. I am yet to find out.
Also I belive you are right. Having 8 pin power plugged into the mobo and it still dying like that leads me to belive no bios update can ever fix such a thing.
Its a shaky contraversal market atm.

P7N2 Diamond won't post

Hey there,
Just bought a new rig. Worked fine for about an hour, til I started getting bluescreens related to nvgts.sys and then when I tried to start it up the next day it wouldn't post. Tried a different graphics card, different RAM combinations, sometimes I'd get 3 long beeps, most of the time I'd get nothing. Also tried clearing the CMOS a few times. No dice. The parts look like this:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
PSU: 800W Tagan
HD: 750 GB Maxtor
RAM: 4GB CorsairTwinX
MoBo: MSI P7N2 DIAMOND
GPU: 512MB EVGA 9800GTX+
Anybody got any ideas?

Try with just one memory stick also Clear CMOS again.{Don't forgot to remove power cord from the PSU 1st}

P7N2 Diamond So Dissapointed

Hello,

** cannot disabled EIST ( in windows multiplier working not stable => 6x/9x changed overtime )
There is another function that controls Multiplier and VCore adjustions called C1E Support. You can find it in the CPU Features section of the BIOS (press F4 to make it visible and to be able to disable it).

** Voltage cannot changed
Use the +/- keys on the numpad of your keyboard.

P7N2 Diamond Keeps Freezing

I have a P7N2 Diamond that keeps locking up on me. Its getting quite annoying as theirs no error or BSOD just bam freeze. Because of which its very difficult to diagnose.
When you reboot the system (power off then power back on again) the machine wont post. It almost sounds like its stuck in a reboot loop CD drive wirrs and you can hear the case fans spinning up and then down again. It will carry on doing this until you rip the power cable out of the back of the PSU then it will post up normally.
System Specs as follows
MSI P7N2 Diamond
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
OCZ3G13334GK 10666 Ram ( 1 stick 2GB )
Western Digital Cavier Black 500GB
Windows Vista 64bit Business
2 x Asus Radeon HD 4850 (Not in Crossfire Mode)

after monitoring while encoding video it would seem that by cpu temps are getting up to > 90c under load something which im sure I ruled out before.
Make sure that you checked the Core Temperatures, not the "general CPU Temperature". Use tools like Core Temp, Real Temp and/or HWMonitor to check your CPU's Core Temperatures. The best thing is to run Prime95 to get all Cores busy and watch the CPU Ratio with CPU-Z when the system is under full load.
Basically, the CPU decided when it will shut down (based on the Core Temperatures), not the board or BIOS (the Feature is called Thermal Monitor II). The shutdown point (TJunction/Tj.Max) should be around 100°C Core Temperatures for your processor (see what estimative value Core Temp shows for TJMax.). When the core temperatures of the processor approach the critical shut-down point, the CPU will automatically throttle the processor (it will reduce the Core Voltage and throttle the frequency (the multiplier will drop to x6 even if the system under full load (that is why it is a good idea to have CPU-Z running when you use Prime95).
If the Core Temperatures really rise above 90°C, you should really start to worry about the cooling solution. In that case, please take off the heatsink, clean the contact surfaces, re-apply a proper amount of thermal paste and reseat the heatsink properly.

P7N2 Diamond

MSI P7N2 Diamond pictured in usual fudz style... http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=6457&Itemid=37

well I would expect the P7N Diamond to have the same issues as the P6N Diamond as theP7N uses the 680i chipset like on the P6N and they've added PCIe 2.0 on a seperate chip and called it 780i. I stayed away from it as it sounds like too much trouble.
The P7N2 is a totally different chipset (790i) and I'm not sure how much they've strayed away from the 680i. all I know was they were supposed to add the PCIe chip into the 790i.
I may just wait, or pull out my 680i board and use it. No sense buying a new one if things haven't changed that much or gotten worse.

P7N2 DIAMOND NOT BOOTING/STARTING

Hello all, i have the following system P7N2 Diamond Motherboard, Intel Q9650 Processor, Kingston Hynix 2GB 1600MHZ RAM, Nvidia 8600GTS Graphics Card. First i put it all together and started it up, boot screen came up 'press <DEL> to enter setup' 'Press <TAB> to blah blah. It wouldnt go past that point. It also beeped (1 LONG 2 SHORT). My first problem was my keyboard wouldnt work. So i checked that is was plugged in. It was. So after a min it turned itself off. I tried again and it did the same. On the 3rd attempt nothing on the screen showed up at all, nothing beeped, Nothing. I checked everything out that it was seated properly and even reseated it all. I have tried with minimal components. I have also tried another graphics card. Still Nothing. When i turn it on the cpu fan goes. I have the 24pin power in and also i am only using the 4 pin cpu power cable. MSI say this is ok? The power supply is an OCZ Coolermaster 400W. There are 3 lights on the Motherboard where the power and reset button are. They light up as follows. Top (RED) Middle (Blue) Bottom (RED). When it is turned off the bottom light stays (RED). Does the mean anything. I have tried to explain as best as i can. Any Help would be great, Thanks.

Okay. Your BIOS Version is v1.0 then and this version does not officially support your processor.
You can check the CPU Support list here:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1445&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
Install a processor supported by BIOS v1.0 and see if the system starts up properly. If it does, update the BIOS and test that Q9650 again.

P7N2 diamond does not boot with q9450

I cannot get my new P7N2 diamond to boot, i am using
q9450 cpu
2x2gb corsair xms 3 dhx (dual channel in blue slots)
BFG 9800 GTX
2X 500 Maxtor sata 2 HD
2xIDE liteon lightscribe DVDR
600 watt noisetaker enermax power supply
It turns on but there is no bios beep.Can hear the noise of the drives spinning up, powering up everything, lights on motherboard are lit and fans spin, but the monitor is not showing any bios reading. I have tried running one stick of ram, resetting cmos, check all cables and plugs, but it just wont post. Could the bios be too early to recognise the intel q9450, otherwise any help would be appreciated.

Wow. You either build lots of systems, or your expectations are pretty low. 'A fact of system building' should only apply to large OEMs not the home builder doing a like a build a year. That would be a pretty high rate of failure that any manufacturer should be embarrassed by.
I'm curious as an employee of Intel how many folks have had issues with Intel branded boards? I know that we tend to build systems that are less enthusiast-friendly than other manufacturers, but if it's enthusiast-friendly and doesn't work what good is it?
I have built loads of systems and I still do. I've had my share of doa hardware. It's not an everyday occurance but it happens. A build a year? I've built 8 so far this year and of those I've had one no post mobo (XFX 790i), a bad ram kit, 1 vid card with memory artifacting, a Q9550 (oem) that died a sudden death during testing, and a failed psu. That last item was my fault for skimping. I just know it happens and I don't waste time stressing about it, I rma and get on with it. I like happy endings so I don't sit in the problem, I resolve it. How many folks have had issues with intel branded boards? I'm not sure where you're going with this but I'm guessing intel's numbers aren't much different than MSI's or anyone else's when it comes to percentages. Like any other manufacturing process, it's a given that there will be faulty parts shipped.

P7N2 Diamond won't boot. Any troubleshooting possible?

Hello,
I have the following set up:
P7N2 Diamond | Core 2 quad Q9450 | MSI geforce 280 Super-OC | Corsair TWIN3X 1333MHz DDR3 4GB
The system was working fine for a month, today Windows was running a bit slow so I've rebooted the PC. It could never boot again.
When I switch it on the screen stays black.
- I have reseted the CMOS with power cable unplugged
Upon start up:
- All appropriate LED's light Blue, Power LED lights Red
- Graphics card showing Green light inside
- Graphics card cooler fan starts up
- No LEDs light on the keyboard
- I've unplugged all SATA and USB cables, unplugged keyboard/mouse and network, taken out the sound card
- The screen still stays black
As I've bought this gear in an online shop it's very akward to send all parts back to them.
I need your expert advice on where the problem might be and more importantly as I don't have any spare parts..
is there any further troubleshooting I can do? Do you think it's the motherboard or the CPU or something else?
How do I find out without any indications from the motherboard (old motherboards used to bip)?
Thank you very much in advance.

Quote from: RemusM on 01-October-08, 15:41:02
Except that GTX 280 (already overclocked), did you overclock anything else?
In any case, you need to borrow another PSU and another (nVidia) graphics card first of all.
cheers
Yes, i run my Q9450 2.66GHZ at 3.4GHz at Vcore +0.125V
I mean the system was working fine for 1 month, no problems at all and then just suddenly died, all LED's and indicators light Blue and Green, does this not imply that the power is OK?!
Is there anyway to tell which component is faulty, like a dead CPU? I don't have a speaker in the case so I can't hear any bips.
It's also not possible to borrow any spare parts from anywhere :( it really sucks
