MSI WIND U100 - processor voltage at 0.9V

Hi,
I made a ''desktop'' PC out of my old wind and I'm having trouble with the BIOS overclocking. I'm trying to get the 24% overclock, but the system is always crashing. Max that I can get is 8% overclock. The problem might be the voltage. It runs at 0.9V (800 MHz) or 0.925V (1600 MHz). I've seen some cpu-z screenshots and most of the N270's are running at 1.275V. Can I somehow change the voltage? Or if someone has an N270 could you check YOUR voltage?
Thanks

you can't change the voltage for this unit
OCing is not guaranteed its based on luck and draws
some units can be OCed more than another, its individual
for the exact case i was able to play at 2 x U100 identical
one can OC to 8% max, other can be OCed to 24% fine
other factors is your RAM, when you apply OC,
memory is also OCed slightly along with the CPU,
which can prevent the higher OCing
do you use build in memory in the unit or
do you also have add-on memory stick installed and using them both?

Recommended Kernel For The MSI Wind U100

Hi folks,
I am currently running the -ck kernel, the same as I have on my laptop, but I am currently thinking that a more specialised kernel may give me better performance on my MSI Wind U100 netbook. I reckon that the Aspire One kernel may fit the bill because of the similar hardware, but I wanted to hear about anyone's experience with this kernel (or any other) on the Wind. Recommendations welcome!
Cheers,
scott

To the nutshell: Seems we understand, great
Regarding the defaults:
Well most of the kernel options have a little help text associated that *may* give an idea what it's about... But I guess you rather look for a good place to start.
You could either use the config of your running kernel: look inside /proc/config.gz. Or you could start with the one that comes with the AUR. If you already run the -ck kernel now, you unknowingly used the config it provides and the above will be the same of course.
I still recommend kernel26-ice with enabled -bfs patch but I guess -ck will in the end use the same scheduler...? Whatever
So in -ck look for this section:
# get kernel version
make prepare
# load configuration
# Configure the kernel. Replace the line below with one of your choice.
#make menuconfig # CLI menu for configuration
#make xconfig # X-based configuration
#make oldconfig # using old config from previous kernel version
# ... or manually edit .config
# stop here
# this is useful to configure the kernel
#msg "Stopping build"
#return 1
Activate "load configuration" (hopefully that uses /proc/config.gz automatically) and either "menuconfig" or "xconfig" so you later get a menu/gui to edit that file.
The commented "stop here" part irritates me, though... I would think the msg and return 1 line should be uncommented as well but - not sure at the moment. Try it, you will see if it stops building while you see the config. It should do...
In -ice-kernel you'd look for
### User/Environment defined variables
bfs_scheduler=${bfs_scheduler:-0}
enable_fastboot=${enable_fastboot:-0}
keep_source_code=${keep_source_code:-0}
menuconfig=${menuconfig:-0}
realtime_patch=${realtime_patch:-0}
use_config_gz=${use_config_gz:-0}
enable_reiser4=${enable_reiser4:-0}
and replace "0" with "1" for bfs_scheduler, menuconfig and use_config_gz and maybe also enable_fastboot.
(optionally look for something like this:
# configure kernel
if [ "$menuconfig" = "1" ]; then
make menuconfig ## <-- this one
fi
yes "" | make config
and replace the "make menuconfig" with "make xconfig"or whatever. I prefer gconfig)
Save the PKGBUILD and run makepkg
After some downloading, extracting and patching you should finally SEE the menu/gui. Tada.
To make sure you can now load the config file you saved above but it *should* allready be done...
Now look at "General Setup->Local Version". The -ck kernel will most likely say -ck there, standard arch says -ARCH. It may be wise to give your kernel a uniqe name so you don't overwrite your working one... (Remember to add an entry for it in /boot/grub/menu.lst to be able to start it later.) You will need to take care of updates manually then, though.
And at last: "Processor-type and features" seems to be the most interesting region for you
(For the other options - well there are LOTS of them. Some will also influence performance.... So I guess best advice is take your time and only fiddle with options you understand.)
If you are done save the setting and exit the program. Now "the real work" should start. If you do it on the netbook - you will probably need SOME patience for that too!
When it's done install the kernel with pacman -U </patch/to/directory/where/I/just/build/the/kernel.tar.gz
If you changed menu.lst you can select YOUR kernel on next boot and try if it does what it should.
Good look
Oh and you may need to (re)install some modules for graphic cards, wifi or whatever for this kernel too...
[Edit: Me needs antiverbose-switch! just wanted to give a *short* answer:) ]

MSI Wind U100 Plus, 24% Request

Hello Svet
excuse for my low English.
Can you change include value of DOC 8% <-> 24% ?
Because I use U100+. I can not choose 24% of DOC menu in BIOS.
Does the sum total of BIOS: it in the same?
Is it difficult?
Thank you

MSI Wind U100 won't boot or POST!

My CPU fan was getting noisy so i decided to take the back off and blow out the dust. Before i put it back together i decided to plug in the battery and turn it on with the back cover off to make sure i fixed the noisy fan. That's when it happened. The blue star lights up and that's it. Blank screen, no POST, nothing! Hmm, i thought maybe there was a case sensor or something so i pulled the battery, put the cover back on and still nothing. Oh yeah, the CPU Fan spins for 2 seconds, much quieter now.
I have also tried... removing the battery and power cord and let sit 10 minutes, power by cord with battery removed, removing little BIOS motherboard battery, removing HDD, re-seating all connectors from LCD screen, and the usual cursing.
Somebody please tell me how to fix this thing.

I have the exact same issue...only one blue light and power cycles when you try to stop it. System will not post.
New board, CPU, and RAM. video card from a working system.
Already tried reseating CPU and fan...already tried moving ram to second (black) slot.
Is this board DOA???

MSI Wind U100 question - Newby

Hi
I just purchased a new U100 with the Intel 270. The BIOS is the ENO11IMS Ver.10D. In the BIOS I can change the the overclocking to 8/15/24%. After booting XP I toggle F10, The turbo icon shows on screen. But I cannot tell if it is OCing. I downloaded CPUz but it shows Specification as 1.6Ghz and core speed as approximately 926mhz. The power on button changes from blue to orange, but other than that i have no idea if it is OCing.
Another question. The machine was getting really hot. I downloaded speedfan and the temps Temp1/Core 0/Core 1 were all in the 70's (Celsius) and I think Temp 1 broke 80 some. I engaged the auto fan speed in Speedfan and after a while the fan came on and the temps fell rapidly right before my eyes and settled in the 30's and the computer went from hot to luke warm. But it seems it took a 3rd party software to get the fan to work at all.
Can anyone give me some insight into these.
Thanks

Yes, you're overclocking. The CPU only runs at full speed when its under full load (to save power). Normally when idle, the CPU speed drops to 800mhz, so the fact that yours is idling at 926mhz means the OC is active. Put the CPU under heavy load, using something like SuperPi or Prime95, and you'll see the CPU speed will exceed 1600mhz.

Everything flashed fine, it's just that the right windows key doesn't open IE (but does open hotmail) and the shift + Fn + lCtrl doesn't work either
they're not too much of a big deal, they're just cool additions, lol. Do you no how I could fix these?

You need to install SCM:

also combination is: [real keys on keyboard, not modified]
LCtl + LShift + Fn [release], ==> LCtrl + Fn [release] and again[if you want a different one P.Led] ==> LCtl + LShift + Fn [release]

MSI Wind as NAS

I've decided to set up a NAS for my house. Presently it's so I can share key data and have access to that key data from 2 desktops and wirelessly by a laptop. I figure I'll run either WHS, linux or even possibly XP Pro on the NAS.
I have a few basic questions at the moment:
0. I'm wondering how worth it it would be to get the MSI Wind with the dual core Atom 1.6 GHz processor (N330) over the N230 Atom 1.6 GHz processor. Is it worth the extra ~$32? My own immediate plans are to use it as a file server.
1. WHS, Linux, XP Pro? I could even run Vista (I have Vista Ultimate, currently not used and could use it... will the MSI Wind run Vista?)
2. If I decide to run Linux, can I install it without having a DVD drive in the MSI Wind barebones, assuming that's what I get (the MSI Wind machines only support SATA and my DVD drives are all IDE)? I suppose that would mean I would be installing it from a USB flash drive, or even a USB external HD (I have one). Is that possible and not too hard to do or would I need that DVD drive to install Linux?
3. If I decide to use Linux for the NAS OS, what flavor of Linux would I want to use?
4. Would there be any difficulties in using Linux as a file server OS from PCs running XP Pro? Could I actually run some of my "Windows" applications right on the NAS, running the executables (residing on the NAS's HD) from the local machines?
5. One of my main concerns is low power usage. I plan on 24/7 accessibility for the file server. Does the choice of OS impact power usage and how?
6. Also, if and when I install a 2nd HD (e.g. another WD 1TB Green) in the MSI Wind, would this impact the power consumption? Can the HDs be configured (e.g. in Linux or WHS or XP Pro) to spin down when reasonably idle)?

Quote from: Stu on 10-August-09, 05:14:00
I presume you're referring to the Wind nettop series?
SATA DVD writer drives are very inexpensive nowadays, but you can just as well install your OS from a USB flash drive.
If you want to try Linux, you can run Ubuntu as a server OS, or you could try a dedicated fileserver OS like SME.
I think the nettop has the dual core Atom 1.6 GHz processor. The barebones systems with this cost roughly 25% more than the ones with the non dual core Atom 1.6 GHz processor. One of my questions is "is the extra cost worth it to get the nettop barebones?"
Yes, the SATA DVD writers can be had for ~$25 it appears, but I have no need of one other than to install the NAS OS, so that's why I'm looking for a workaround. FreeNAS, it appears, needs to be installed from CD. I hear that I can install WHS from a USB flash drive, but creating that flash drive is not trivial. The only instructions I've encountered so far require a Vista machine and I don't have a Vista machine. I do have a laptop that supports Vista, and a copy of Vista Ultimate but don't welcome the hassle of "upgrading" my laptop. I have issues enough to deal with right now!

MSI Wind U110 - Reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl"

Hi guys,
is there a bios-fix to reverse/swap the keys functions of the "Fn" key with "Left Ctrl" for the MSI Wind U110. I don't know why this keyboard is still that disfunctional. I think this is a well known issue, people complaining about for a long time. I am really hoping that you can help me.
Thank you, CyberKlabauter.

Quote from: Henry on 08-December-09, 10:47:03
Have you tried using the 'Search' function up there.
I did. But maybe I'm to stupid to do it right. I found this thread http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=121066.0 but there is nothing about the U110. If I'm searching for U110 I get only three topics (one is this one). I guess I shouldn't use any bios hack from a other model.
May you're willing to help me a little bit more. Thank you.

Wireless Msi Wind kernel 2.6.27

Has anyone been able to get the wireless working on Msi Wind with the new kernel 2.6.27? Doesn's look like the kernel moduls work, and I can't get the custom modul found on Msi Wind wiki to compile under the new kernel.
Does anyone have any ide to how this can be done?

Can't start MSI Wind DC110

Hi, I have an MSI Wind DC110 as a media centre in my living room. Today when I attempted to start it up it stopped on a screen saying "Press F3 to run Recovery Tool". There is no way I can find to get past this screen. I have a wireless keyboard, and the box does not respond to any key-press. I plugged in a USB keyboard, and no lights come on and no keys work. I am completely stuck and unable to boot the box.

Hello,
In my opinion this is a defective product, as without reading a manual you should be able to get ANY video, no matter of cable. Unless you have bought a proper barebone (which I believe are being sold too). However before you RMA, did you have everything connected? i.e. keyboard, mouse, power and video cables. Not sure (didn't have a pleasure to read manual yet) but does it have some reset button anywhere? Also did you try spamming Delete key when trying to boot in order to get to BIOS?
Ahh one more thing: did this come with anything else? Such as USB drive, or drivers on something? Because when I had trouble with my motherboard(had asus before), inserting CD that came with it, restored BIOS settings. Not sure how this one works, but all I see it doesn't have any CD/DVD Rom..
