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.

  • 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 - 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?

  • MSI Wind U100 Plus, 24% Request

    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?

  • 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.

  • MSI Wind DC110 not recognising keyboard

    Hi, I have a new MSI Wind DC110. I'm trying to set it up but 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 & mouse, 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.
    I found that someone listed the same problem but I could not see any answers!

    There are multiple users with this problem. Did you in the meantime find an answer to your question? Could you please post it for our benefit? Thanks

  • Conky vs gnome applet [CPU @ Msi Wind]

    Hi! This is most probably not an arch issue, but I dare to ask for what you think.
    I'm using laptop-mode-tools with cpufreq on my Msi Wind netbook to limit CPU frequency when on battery. LCD brightness control works fine and HDD APM also. But when it comes to CPU - conky shows that it's still running with its maximal 1.6GHz (well, actually it shows various values between 1575 and 1602 MHz) while gnome panel applet shows 800MHz.
    So my question is - which of them should I believe? Or maybe some other way to check that?

    Are you using freq or freq_dyn in your conky config? If you are using freq, it is just taking the same value displayed in /proc/cpuinfo, which is what the Gnome applet is showing. If you are using freq_dyn, it is making some calculations and figuring out the frequency on its own, which is much more accurate.
    Speedstep isn't really changing the real clock speed, it does some other kind of voodoo.
    I've actually found that on my Asus EeePC 901 (also Atom powered), underclocking with the FSB gives much better battery life than Speedstep, I get about an hour more by disabling Speedstep and underclocking to 1.25Ghz.

  • MSI Wind Top AG2712 i7-3630QM 1TB 128GB SSD 12GB W8

    Hello everybody!
    I'm from Poland and my English isn't very well.
    I have a question:  I have MSI Wind Top AG2712 i7-3630QM 1TB 128GB SSD 12GB W8   and I have gaphic card GTX 670MX. Would i have a NVIDIA  GTX 970M on thic AiO PC?  Please write back!
    Good be!

    Hi,
    With AiO I guess it's similar to notebooks: it might work, but there are few factors that might have to be changed. For example you would most likely have to modify heatsink for the GPU. Also custom BIOS might also be needed.
    As long as these can have their GPUs removed/swapped around. So even if you buy 970M, make sure you will be able to return it in case it don't work.
    I would ask MSI as they have all the details about each AiO version and graphics cards, so they should be able to answer this straight away, simple as "Yes or No", as currently on the forum we can only guess whether it will work or not.

  • 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!
