MSI-PRO-E Motherboard and OCZ3G1600LV6GK

I have been doing some research and am deeply confused. I am going to be buying a MSI Pro-E motherboard and am planning on buying OCZ Gold Ram (3 x 2GB). I was looking at the timings and am getting confused. Some people are saying you have to mess with the BIOS to get the timing to 8-8-8-24, and others are saying that you don't have to do anything. So I am wondering if you actually have to do anything in order to obtain the timing of 8-8-8-24? Also Can the motherboard run RAM at 1600Mhz without overclocking or would I have to overclock the RAM in order to get that speed?
Here are the links to the RAM and the Motherboard:

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I forgot to mention that I am going to be using a I7 920 processor. Also I found a picture of the bios settings someone had and they were doing the second method you mentioned.  I don't think it has more than 1 XMP profile, and if it does I'm probably not going to change it because I will be using the second method. So just to double check to make sure I'm not messing this up, I want to set it to 2N not 1N right? (Just checking cause I read somewhere that you usually leave it on 1N.)
Typically you will want to use 1N but some RAM won't be able to do it properly...
Something else you may want to consider: If you use 1333 mode instead of 1600 you won't have to increase voltage and often can use much better RAM timings. I've some 7-7-7-20 Corsair RAM in here but when I found out that in 1333 mode it runs with 4-6-6-15 without the requirement to increase the voltage, I was very happy to leave it at that. There are also other timings which can nicely be set manually - my tRFC is 49 instead of 88 now!
Something which may speak against using XMS info: My corsair RAM is a triple kit, but somehow one module has one value set differently than the others in there...thus I'm using manual setup now (tRFC was set much too high anyway, it wasn't even using XMS info).

  • MSI 651M-V Motherboard and USB-FDD booting

    Hi All,
    We recently bought about 25 computers for a school lab, running the motherboards mentioned in the topic.
    The workstations are floppy-less and cdrom-less. When we purchased them, we specifically requested that the motherboards should be able to boot from usb floppy drives.
    We have a Toshiba one that came with a notebook (Model PA3109U-1FDD), and it boots my computer.
    The BIOS on the 651M-V does give a boot from: USB-FDD/USB-CDROM/USB-HDD and I think USB-ZIP. However, none of them seem to work. The computer doesn't seek the floppy disk during boot up like a normal floppy drive (I take this to be a symptom of not even recognising it).
    I don't know if it's a wrong setting I've done, because you can imagine the administration headache I'd have to go through to open up each workstation and plug in a normal FDD or CDROM for setting them up for Ghost, etc. as opposed to simply plugging in a USB-FDD on the front-panel USB ports.
    I tried disabling/enabling USB2.0 but to no avail.
    I'd be happy to know if anyone has actually booted anything USB with this motherboard, and what kind of device and perhaps brand it was, so I can purchase the same thing.
    Any help would be heapsly appreciated!!
    PS: Would updating the BIOS work [I'd still need an FDD directly connected in this case!]?

    Hi Again,
    Thanks for the suggestions.
    There is no "legacy support" option in the BIOS. The drive works fine under windows 2k/xp. I can't say the same for 9x/me as I haven't tried it. It'll probably ask for drivers or something...
    There's doesnt seem to be a BIOS update for the motherboard in question either...
    *sigh*
    Is this one of those brick walls?

  • MSI MS-6507 motherboard and 133MHz FSB

    Hello, I have a neighbour here with a PC that has MS-6507 v.1 (no integrated LAN) motherboard inside and 2.8GHz Intel processor, which is reported as 2.1GHz due to the fact that FSB is at 100MHz instead of 133MHz. Now there is NO setting in Award bios that would allow me to change FSB, maybe because the board was made for Medion OEM company from Germany. It has currently v1.59 BIOS which I believe is the latest one for Medion.
    Now the question. Is it safe to flash the board with original MSI BIOS and which one should I use in order to unlock 133MHz FSB option?
    Thank you in advance, hopefully someone will help me. 

    Sorry we support only retail MSI products.
    You have to contact your OEM vendor for support.

    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!

  • 10x memory ratio on MSI Pro E

    I just built a new i7 920 system with 1333mhz DDR3 ram and an MSI pro e motherboard. In the bios the memory multiplier is set to auto and the ran is running at 1066. Since the ram is rated at 1333 I should be able to change the memory multiplier to 10x in the bios correct? When I went to the bios the max memory multiplier I found was 8. Am I missing something?

  • How to adjust VCORE in MSI Pro-E X58?

    Hey guys; I've built my first rig and I'm interested in overclocking the i7 I've bought. I've already read a lot on OC'ing and the potential hazards that come with it. In any case, I own the MSI Pro-E X58 and was looking to OC. I've steadily increased the BCLK using the default voltages, but when I hit 3.4 GHz (with a BCLK of 170), Windows crashed after about an hour of P95. I opened the cell menu in the BIOS looking to bump the voltage up a notch, but am a bit confused as to how to do this. Under the cell menu, I noticed the "CPU Vcore" at 1.328 V; I find this odd because I thought the default voltage setting for the Core i7 was 1.2? Also, I'm somewhat unsure as to what the "CPU Voltage" setting does; is this linked wit the "CPU Vcore" setting? My best guess so far is I can change the CPU Voltage to +/- from the CPU Vcore but I'm not entirely positive. Any help would be great.

    QPI is 1.20V default on the Pro-E. Your CPU Vcore of 1.328V's will need to be bumped a bit to remain stable. CPU V./Vcore, basically the same thing. Just bump up the CPU V. a step at a time until the system remains stable. Be sure Spread Spectrum in bios Cell Menu is disabled. Remember to keep an eye on the RAM speed as you increase bclk. That can be another source for instability.

    You are reading it wrong.
    We have consumer products, i.e. the versions that consumers buy and which is supported under the Mainstream support.
    Then there are Business and Developer products will and they will receive at least 10 years of online self-help support.
    Your license will determine which category you fall in.
    Quote
    Extended Support is not offered for Consumer and Multimedia products.
    We have just been through the XP fiasco. Its still supported for the industry, but consumers get no more updates.
    Mainstream support ends Jan2015. That's the one that consumers are entitled to.
    Maybe so, but I can't see how...  Here's another link to the same chart:
    http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/default.aspx?LN=en-us&x=8&y=13
    Note the heading for the chart:
    Phases of the Support Lifecycle for Business, Developer, Consumer and Multimedia Software
    To me, that says that the consumer versions of Win7 go to extended support in 2015, in which the only updates people will receive for it until EoL in 2020 are security updates.  Exactly the same thing was done with XP, IIRC.  The only updates WinXP received for the past several years were security updates and regular updates for the XP version of MSE.  Why should Microsoft treat Win7 any different? As you see in the chart, paid-for support is in a different category from security updates.  You can get the same paid-for support in Windows 7 in the extended period that you can buy right now for Win7 in the mainstream period.  The only service carried forward into the extended period that will continue to be free of charge are the security updates as hotfixes, patches, and feature updates for Win7 will be discontinued when Win7 support shifts into extended support next year.
       

  • RS482M4-ILD motherboard and VGA/DVI

    Hi,
    Here is my problem :
    I've got a MSI RS482M4-ILD motherboard and plugged it to a Plasma TV (42" PDP) with VGA and then on-board DVI.
    At first, DVI is only detected by the plasma once Windows XP running, which means that the motherboard doesn't support DVI by default. Is it normal ?
    Then, there is a big difference between DVI resolution and VGA. The Plasma manufacturer argues that the native resolution of the plasma is 1280x768. So everything is normal when I use 1280x768 with the VGA output, but it is not possible by default when I use the DVI outpout (resolutions offered : 640x480, 800x600, 852 x 480 and 1024x768). Each of these resolutions works fine, but 1280x768 is not available. Then I used provided ATI utility to force all possible resolutions and I chose 1280x768. But the image was not fully displayed. I mean I had to scroll right and left with the mouse to see all the screen.
    What can I do (update drivers, etc.) ?
    Configuration :
    Micro-ATX BOx 460W
    MSI RS482M4-ILD
    AMD Athlon 64 3500+
    1 Go DDR PC 3200
    HD Maxtor 80 Go SATA x2 (RAID 1)
    DVD Burner x4 IDE
    FD 1.44 Mo
    Windows XP SP2
    Plasma TV 42 PDP

    I managed to set the DPD display to 1280x720 using the 720p option in HDTV plasma display but now, the image is not correct. The output screen from the PC is a the center of the image and there is a black band around. How to make it fit all the screen ?

    Quote from: Fredrik on 09-August-10, 07:28:52
    A bit depending on your PSU and granted it is an AGP card it should work. Haven't heard of an AGP version of 9400 before.  The 4650 is a good choice, but your PSU would need to produce something like 18 - 20 Amperes on the 12v line.
    You seem to have more than maxed out on memory.
    In your upgrade plans, however, I think you should start with the processor. 90 nm processor would be my choice, hence Palermo 3200+ would be for the best.
    is this the processor?
    its a AMD Athlon 64 processor 3200+ Socket 939
    will it work even though its a socket 939?

  • Problems with MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 Motherboard in a barebone package

    Hi:
    I bought a MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 Motherboard and AMD Athlon X2 5200+ AD5200OCK22GM Processor with a DiabloTek CPA-0280 Elite ATX Mid Tower Case from TigerDirect. This is their so-called barebone package.
    Unfortunately, I did not receive the CPU cooler so I bought a FAN from a computer store. Now, I cannot seem to make the system work.
    I have several questions.
    First, the JPWR2 power connector on the MSI is 4-pin.  However, I cannot find a 4-pin power cable from the DiabloTek case. There is one cable that has 6-pin and it can fit into the JPWR2. Unfortunately, when I turn on the power, the Motherboard does not boot.
    Second, I have an elder case, which does have a 4-pin power cable and the motherboard does boot. However, I do not see the BIOS in the screen.
    I guess that I must have done many wrong things there. 
    Could someone who is familar with this motherboard pelase give me some suggestions?
    Thank you very much,
    Cheers,

    Fan? You need a heatsink with a fan to cool the CPU down, just a fan won't do it.
    As for the case + PSU: +12V: 30A that isn't a lot, but should show a BIOS if you didn't insert some fancy videocard.
    And for the 6pin, that's a PCIe powerconnector!!!
    According to TigerDirect: 1x 4+4 Pin Motherboard Connector +12V  so you have the proper connector.
    But you may have blown something to pieces by gambling on the connections.
    Else? Nothing left to say but: >>Posting Guide<<

  • I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

    I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
    P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

    Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
    If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
    If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

  • MSI 915GM4 Motherboard and a P4 s775 2.66/1M/533 Processor - Dont Work

    Hello Everyone,
    I bought an MSI 915GM4 Motherboard and a P4 s775 2.66/1M/533 Processor yesterday and
    assembled it by myself.But when I power it on, it won't display anything nor you can any hear beeping sounds.
    So I tried to pull it out from the case to test only the Processor, Motherboard, PowerSupply, Memory and Monitor, but still It won't display nor you can hear beeping sounds that would indicate the cause of the problem.
    Later then, I contacted a friend of mine who has a Celeron D s775 Processor and tried it on my MSI Motherboard. Its only the processor that was swapped and nothing else. Guess what? It displays and even loads to windows. So I was started thinking that my own processor might be the problem. But I did not conclude right away that the
    processor is the problem and so what I did is I borrowed an Asrock Motherboard (s775)
    from the same friend. Now, if this will not work then its confirm that my processor
    might be the problem. But I was surprised when it work and still boot up to windows.
    Confusion wraps my mind, the next time I started thinking about compatibility issues
    and so I visited MSI site looking for CPU Support of my Motherboard and found out that
    it should support. Well, to try to resolve this issues I tried flashing the bios for
    the motherboard of its latest version updates, but sitll no luck..
    Hmmmm.... what could be it? Did I miss something?
    Well guys if you could help me on this I really appreciate it.. I don't really know now what move to take.
    If anyone has an idea please email me at [email protected]

  • Move Windows 8.1 Pro Hard Drive, Graphics Card and Programs to New Motherboard and CPU

    Want to move everything, hard drive, installed programs, video card, network adapter, ram drive, DVD, from one computer to another, nothing will change except motherboard and CPU.  Old motherboard and CPU will be installed in a new computer case which
    will revert back to a Windows 7 Pro computer with a fresh install and no programs to be used as a dedicated CAD work station. Motherboard and CPU swap will be the only change, even the RAM will be the same.  What activation problems will I encounter,
    I do not want to re-install anything, if possible.

    Hi,
    I would like to confirm what kind of licensing you used on Windows 8.1, the OEM or the retailed.
    For the OEM one, the Windows 8.1 transferred to another new Motherboard will not be activated.
    For the retailed one, you should find that the system will boot with the new motherboard, install some drivers then boot successfully.
    You will need to use telephone activation for the updated system, but should not need to re-install. When warned that you need to activate, select the "Contact Microsoft Customer Support" option and follow the instructions. With a tone dial phone
    you can do this without speaking to anyone. See http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/24636-activate-windows-8-phone.html
