MSI Platinium P45 and DDR3

Hello i have a MSI Platinium P45 Motherboard and i would like to know if 4GB DDR3 -1333 is supported
or only DDR3-1066 is.
-Sheldon

It is very important to pay close attention to the marketing name and the model number when it comes to DDR2/DDR3 support.
The MSI P45 Platinum [MS-7512] does not support DDR3 memory sticks:

The MSI P45D3 Platinum [MS-7513] on the other hand does support DDR3 memory (but not DDR2).

In case you have the MS-7512/P45 Platinum you can forget about DDR3 support altogether as the board only has DDR2 memory slots. If you indeed have a P45D3 Platinum then you should know that (regardless of what MSI says on the product page for this board) the Intel Chipset Specifications for the P45 Chipset only mention DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066. DDR3-1333 modules are not officially supported on the P45 Chipset (according to Intel's Datasheets).

MSI PLATINIUM P45 WORKING MEMORY PC8500 OR PC6400

I HAVE MSI PLATINIUM P45 I WOULD LIKE TOO UPGRADE MY MEMORY WHICH ONE BETTER AND WORKING FINE 1-
The Kingston HyperX Dual Channel 4096MB PC8500 DDR2
2- Kingston HyperX PC6400 800MHz 4GB DDR2 Dual Channel Memory

Why are you writing in caps? It is considered screaming and not very polite.
Go for the PC2-8500 sticks. Even if you can't overclock them to DDR2-1066, they usually have better memory chips on them.
I have a pair of Kingston PC2-8500 modules than run flawlessly @DDR2-1066 on this board.

MSI Platinium P45

Hello,
I have a platinium P45 MB and in it a 9500GT 1GB grahics card. My friend lent me another 9500GT which he no longer needs. What are the steps to get the cards working in sli.
The MB came with ATI crossfire bridge will that do?

MSI B75MA-P45 and Red Caviar 3 TB

Hello! I recently purchased the MSI B75MA-P45 motherboard and the 3TB Red Caviar HDD. I had sent my computer to the shop for the installation and when I collected it, the techies there said something about how the Red Caviar is "too big" and that there were partition issues. They also mentioned the need to download some sort of an "unlocking" software for the motherboard to solve the issue.
But the HDD and the partitions seem to work fine. They are my D: and G: drives, at 1.99TB and 931 GB respectively. And I do believe these parameters are normal after formatting. Were they just mistaken about something? I just can't see what the problem is.
I would appreciate any input on this matter. Thank you!

Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.

MSI X48C Platinum and DDR3 corsair 2x4 GB @ 1600mhz WILL IT WORK??

Hi , I truly appreciate the mere existence of this forum .
my system is :
PSU : Corsair 650HX
CPU : Intel Core2Duo E6750
GPU : Geforce GTX 260
RAM : (currently 2x1gig DDR2 @ 667 Mhz)
and
i just bought 2x4gb dims of DDR3 ram (corsair vengeance)
it doesn't work ( i believe it's because it maxes out at 8 gigs so it won't support 4gig dims?? just a guess)
my question is this :
if i change the memory for four 2gig dims , at the same frequency (1600 mhz , ddr3 ) will it work without the need for tweaking ,
or at least a minimal quantity of the whole tweaking-ness?
i'm only asking because time is of the essense ( i really need the pc working )
and if there is no chance of this combination working, would 4x2 gigs at 1333 Mhz work ??
also , since i don't believe i have ever updated the mobo's bios , should i do that? ( and which is the safest way to do it??)
and just out of curiosity , what is the fastest memory that this mobo can support at 8 gigs without any stability problems whatsoever ??

Your board and the chipset do support DDR3-1600. The memory you are mentioning is not on the support list.
The board's support states Quote
Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600 DRAM, 8GB Max
Thus you need 2GB modules to get to 8GB if that is what you need/want.
See here for the supported memory modules http://eu.msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1393.pdf
You will see that no DDR-1600 2gb module is even on that list. Only 1GB 1600 modules were tested.
If you want to use 2GB modules then get yourself 1333 modules. The performance difference is minimal and you should have good stability with these modules.

Re: MSI Platinium P45 + Creative X-fI

Sorry for merging my query in too. But, i thought it would be nice to ask everything here.
Ok, i am planning to go for Creative X-fI Extreme Music soundcard in few weeks. There are few doubts and things i need to clear.
I'll be installing the card with 4GB RAM on MSI P45 Platinum board. And plan to use it for driving 5.1 speaker system with Windows 7 64 bit OS.
1. Is Windows 7 64-bit driver available for this card?
2. Are there any H/W or Application specific compatibility issues?
3. And lastly, i need your comments on this card. I mean, any points i need to look for before i purchase it.
Awaiting....

Topic split.
gold_heart007, "Sorry for merging my query in too"
That's not merging, it's hijacking with a question not even related to the topic at hand.
>> Please read and comply with the Forum Rules <<
1 - You would need to go to Creative website for drivers.
2 - Should not be any.
3 - Beats me, I never used one, I had a Creative Audigy II a couple of years ago but on a different MB. Maybe someone that has or had one will see this and have something to say about it.
Edit: I'll add 1 more thing, your PSU is too weak for your system, max +12V output 22A (264W). A PSU in a system with 9800GTX should be about +12V~28A to 30A minimum.
Corsair VX450W +12V~33A or VX550W +12V~41 would be far better choices than that PSU you have.

MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
What I have done to try to fix this:
1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
The specs:
Board: MSI B75MA-P45
Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
PSU: Corsair CX 500
Intel Core i7-3770
Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Win 8
So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
Thank you.

Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.

Need help regarding MSI 785GM-P45

Hi
New to this forum so I will try to give as much info as possible. If you have any suggestions please give as much details as possible since I am new to building my own HTPC
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-P45
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0 GHz
RAM: AVeir 2GB DDR3-1333
HD: EIDE 80GB WD
I installed the cpu and heat sink as well as the RAM in DIMM1 then I attached the power to the mother board. Also attached then box power switch and HDD connections to the motherboard. When I press the power switch on the box I can see the cpu fan turning and box fan turning as well as hear HD spinning (at this point I dont have IDE cable connected to HD). then I attached the display to the mother board and the display does not show anything (displays standby light is still yellow). I power off the system and then attach IDE cable to the HD and then power on the system and this time everything works like before but one thing is different. I cannot hear the HD spinning or powered up. Not sure what is happening. Any suggestion would be welcome
Thanks

You get no display on the monitor?
A bit off: How can they name an AMD 'board P45?! http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&prod_no=1990

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

MSI x48c PLatinum and Intel E8600 Problem

Hello, I'm from Greece
My computer Setup is:
Mobo: MSI X48C Platinum (bios version 7.0)
CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600
PSU: HEROLCHI 525 Watt
RAM: OCZ OCZ3SOE10664GK DDR3 4GB (2x2GB)
VGA: Albatron 8800 GTS
HDD: WD 300GB SATA
The problem is:
I bought them yesterday because i want to upgrade my system.
I connect them all properly in my case and after i turn the PC on it freeze in the MSI logo screen and cant even enter BIOS Setup.
The first time i turned the power on a message like: "Your previous overclockinn atempt was not succssefull. Press a button except del to load defaults and continue." i do what it said and freeze after that message.
This just the first time, the other times it just freeze on the logo screen. Some times it beeps one time and reset by his own and sometimes beeps four times and then reset. The most of the times it just freezes in the logo screen.
I took everything off and reinstall them. Nothing Happen.
I tried with one dimm of RAM each time in deferent positions. Nothing Happen.
I did o clear CMOS from the back button. Nothing Happen.
I perform a clear CMOS with the old method (unplug power, remove battery, wait for a couple o minutes). Nothing Happens.
I believe the problem is with the bios version i have and the CPU compatibility. I look at www.msi.com.tw and it said that this board its compatible with the INTEL E8600 but only at the 7.2 version.
How will i update my bios if my computer doesnt even enter bios setup?
Please help me. any suggestion. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks you in advance.

Quote from: triangle on 28-August-08, 17:00:43
the only thing i can suggest is to drop in a 7.0 compatible CPU (if you can) and flash the BIOS to 7.2 that way then switch back in your new CPU. A painful process, I know ... Alternatively, if your retailer is friendly they might set it up on a test bench for you and flash it.
Andrew
Like Andrew mentioned, this is the only way out though it is a long painful process.
The other is to get a board that is compatible to the E8600 right out of the box.

MSI 785GM-E51 and memory modules problems

Could anyone help me with one problem. I have motherboard MSI 785GM-E51 and 4 memory modules GOODRAM GR 1333D364L9/2G. But when I'm inserting ALL modules my system not starting (even POST procedure). So working variants - when I'm inserting:
- one module in first (boot) slot
or
- they inserted in first and third memory slots
Any ideas?

It is not motherboard problem, but processor itself - I have AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3,4 Ghz Core Revision C2 and this revision (according to the article: http://www.fcenter.ru/online.shtml?articles/hardware/processors/27650#02) has problems with support memory modules DDR3-1333 Mhz more than 2 modules. Conclusion - either adjust BIOS settings concerning memory timings and memory controller voltage or replace this kind of processor with the same type but with core revision C3

B75MA-P45 and Intel Xeon E3-1230V2, is a videocard necessary?

Hi all,
I want to buy a MSI B75MA-P45 in combination with an Intel Xeon E3-1230V2, but do I need to buy a videocard if I only need to use the Linux console. I will be installing a VMware ESX on it.
Thanks in advance

Since the Xeon doesn't have integrated graphics, I think you have to connect a kind of dummy plug to an onboard graphics port to trick the system into thinking it has graphics and monitor.

MSI P67 GD65 and 1600mhz RAM

Picked up a MSI P67a-GD65 to replace my faulty (and by faulty, not SATA port faulty)Gigabyte UD3P. Anyways. I had a stable overclock of 4.7ghz on that board so I assumed w/ close voltages Id hit that on this board. Ive spent the last 2 days trying to get it stable to no avail. Dropped the speed to 4.5ghz even w/ same voltages and nothing.
Finally I dropped my RAM speed from 1600mhz c8 to 1333 c9. System is stable at 4.7 no problem now. The ram has been used for awhile without any issues on 2 other boards (P55a-UD3 and P67a-UD3P) and memtest checks out. Is there a problem w/ the 1600mhz strap on this board? Ive read other people have issues with certain RAM speeds as well (although it varys). Specs below!

Intel 2600k cooled by H50 w/ push/pull 38mm deltas

Screw you ELvis This is doz from OCF, was hoping to find someone from MSI chime in on the problem! Getting frustrated. I have some new GSkill 1600mhz c8 2x4gb on the way as my wife eats up the RAM editing pictures in photoshop and bridge at the same time. Maybe its the RAM, but it hasnt given me an ounce of problems yet! Maybe Ill try some 2000mhz C9 that I have laying around at 1866mhz and see if it likes that.
Any more of that and you will have problems you didn't expect.

The problem is that my new R9 290 doesnt work on the first comp. When pressing the power button the fan of the GPU is maxing and makes alot of noise. Connecting my monitor to the onboard GPU i see the comp is working and is booting into windows. Updating the Bios didnt work and chosing PEG instead of IGP doesnt matter.
To check if the R9 290 is working i put it in comp2. It boots normally, and no problems. I began to wonder if the PSU of comp1 is the problem.
So i Changed the PSU of comp2 to comp1 and pushed the power button. Same as before: alot of noise and not working.
Meanwhile it Boots into windows. Connecting my monitor to the onboard video I can see it boots into windows. But I dont see the R9 290 at all in the hardware device list.
My first conclusion: The XFX R9 290 isnt recognized by the B75MA-P45 Motherboard at all, even when i switch the PSU from comp2.
I need the card to work on comp 1 because that is my computer. (Comp2 I borrowed from a friend for testing).

Litecoin mining :P, and for the games i play the setup is more then enough. If it would work...
A tip to all the Bit/Lite coin miners:
Just plug 6 AMD graphic cards into a piece of wood and you'll become a real "miner".

Hello!
I just bought msi gf gts450 1gb ddr3 pcie (n450gts-md1gd3). And now i have some problems, when i start play some game( like Skyrim or Dungeon siege 3), after about a minute my pc freezes (black screen, and sound freezes). I look up in my event log and there is: power kernel problem event 41 .
I looked in google for some information, but did not find any solution for me (found some solutions, but did not work for me). Before i bought new graphic card, everything was o.k. Some months ago i had Ge Force 9600GT and everything was still o.k.

All are low and lowest quality split rail psus only one 1A stronger per rail than your current one = no improvement.
Look for a psu with one +12v rail with at least 24A or better.
but how can i know, is it single rail???
is that only one 12v and no another 12V/2?
