Multiplier Problem: P35 Neo-F (7360) + e8500 Rev.E0.
Quote from: francis511 on 31-December-08, 02:28:18
I bought an e8500 (eo stepping) and the 9.5 multiplier option is unavailable in the bios of my board. I am running bios 1.9 and neither it nor 1.1a solved this problem. When I tried bios 1.8 , the board refused to boot until I swapped back to another chip.
I have the same problem with a P35 Neo-F (7360) whith a e8500 Rev.E0.
Initially, with native bios v1.7, after assembled the system, it doesn't come ever at the bios . It crashes at splash screen (no Bios, no F11 choice).
I make a update of bios with a "desperate" Ctrl+home at version 1.9, but the bios give a "Cmos checksum error".
However, I succeed to installed the s.o. (win xp sp2) and finally I succeed to flash the bios by usb device.
Now, i enable EIST through the control panel->Minimal Power Management but the multiplier don't increase over 9x in the bios options.
How can i do?
Thanks
P.S. I'm sorry for my little english!
Update your BIOS to the latest Version .

Hi all.
I have overclocked my Q6600 (G0) to 3.28GHz (411 FSB x8 Multiplier) on MSI P35 Neo (BIOS v1.10/1.A). Problem is that if I enable EIST in BIOS and set the CPU multiplier at 8x the multiplier will not remain at 8x when booting. It will try to boot with 9x and as a result will hang/freeze the computer during boot. Only way to stop it from going higher than 8x is to disable EIST. I would have kept EIST disabled if MSI motherboards didn't have problem of feeding a lot more vcore when CPU is idle. CPU VID is 1.28v and in BIOS I have set it at 1.33. At idle it hovers around 1.35v +/- 0.01 and under load it drops to 1.31 +/- 0.01. At 3.33GHz (370 FSB x9 Multiplier) EIST works as intended but I have to set RAM at 740MHz (at next mem divider it goes to 888MHz unstable).
My computer specs are:
CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600 G0
MB: MSI P35-Neo
RAM: Corsair XMS 2 3GB DDR2 800MHz (2GB+1GB)
PSU: Corsair HX620
VGA: HIS Radeon HD4870 1GB
HDD: Seagate 500GB SATAII ST3500418AS
And other normal stuff.
Does some one know of a method to enable EIST successfully at 8x multiplier or some BIOS for MSI P35 Neo that fixes this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am guessing you have your Q6600 at 400x9?
No, I have an E6600.

Your signature says EIST enabled...
Yes, but what does that have to do with your system running @x8? If I wanted to make my system operate at a lower multiplier, I would have to disable EIST as well.

At idle it hovers around 1.35v +/- 0.01 and under load it drops to 1.31 +/- 0.01.
The idea that the voltage has to stay put at the same level when the system is IDLE and under full load is somewhat of a misconception. Voltage Droops are not necessarely caused by poor power regulation but have to do (at least in the first degree) with the Intel Processor Power Delivery Design
Guidelines and Specifications.
Please have a look here:
http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=126
Quote
Load line droop (or Vdroop) is an inherent part of any Intel power delivery design. A current proportional to the average current of all active channels flows through load line regulation resistor RFB. The resulting voltage drop across RFB is proportional to the output current, effectively creating an output voltage droop with a steady-state value. Equation 2 dictates the value for RFB that should be choosen to satisfy the Intel VRD specification (the source of RLL) based on a) the number of power delivery phases (N) and b) the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the inductor used, effectively known as DCR.

I only want to enable EIST so that CPU vcore voltage doesn't go higher than 1.33v
What happens if you adjust the voltage downward somewhat? Is the 1.33V setting really the lowest possible setting for your current clock speed? -
P35 Neo (MS-7360) ver. 1.0 keeps restart
Hello
I have recently problem with that motherboards ...
Problem occured after a year...
Suddenly Pc keeps restart, linux - kernel panic and says "THIS IS NOT A SOFTWARE PROBLEM"

Tried few PSU
Motherboard don't have sign of problems, everything looks fine, condensers ok.
Any ideas?

You have ver 1.0 MB, you flashed the wrong BIOS for it. I would assume that is why you are having these issues. Wrong BIOS can have all kinds of problems up to and including a completely dead MB. Fortunately on the MB's you have when you flash the wrong one you are able to reflash with the correct one. You would need to flash the BIOS for the G33 MB which uses the same BIOS that is correct for your MB. I know this for a fact as I had the same MB a couple of years ago.
>> G33 BIOS <<
>> Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher <<
Check the BIOS chip, number is on the sticker. Last 3 digits will tell for sure whether you need 2.x or 1.x BIOS Example would be for what I'm sure you have is: 100 = 1.0, 120 = 1.2, 130 =1.3 etc., etc.
thanks for answers but i think i made mistake with my post (was in home when posting and wasn't sure about bios version)
checked it once again and ... you are right, my mb is version 1.0 and i had bios version 1.5 (2007-11-01) on my last motherboard which i try to fix once more time.
I upgraded bios to the latest 1.10 (2008-11-11) but doesn't helped (i tried that with others motherboards w/o result) -
P35 NEO MS-7360 Replacement Battery
Hi, i believe i need a new battery for my motherboard as i am frequently met with "CMOS time and date not set" when i boot up my computer and i am just checking before i buy a new battery that i am getting the correct one. I have written down what is printed on the front of the battery: "KTS, Lithium Battery, Japan, STD, CR2032" and after looking around on the internet for a replacement battery i found a site where i plan to purchase one from. Will this battery be a suitable replacement, thanks.
Quote from: Mike on 02-July-10, 01:31:10
You can go to your local electronics store, even a grocery store(at least in the USA), and get a CR2032 battery. You can use one from just about any supplier with confidence.
I know that. But i want to be sure the battery is suitable before purchasing it and the one on the website is the best example i could find, i am just being careful. -
P35 Neo - XP Pro install fatal error
Hello
I have partially duplicated my post since the problem is different from the original thread.
But first....
MOBO - P35 Neo - MS-7360
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
BIOS - V1.5
MEM - 4 x 1Gb 800Mhz DDR2
HDD - 1 x 250 Gb Maxtor SATA II (I have 2 but only connecting 1 for install.)
VGA - NVidia 8600 GT
PSU - WinPower ATX 600L - 600W max
Optical - Emprex 8x CD/DVDRW
The motherboard package and RAM was bought from Novatech and was tested before I installed it. Full specs can be seen here
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?MBB-P35675,
and I got them to double up on the RAM.
HDD was also from them.
The problem arises after the first phase of the XP PRO install. I have been using a new copy of XP PRO with SP2 to do the install and initailly things go as expected. I format and partition the drive to create a 50Gb drive for the XP install, which happens without incident, then the machine reboots. Following reboot, the Windows XP branded part of the installation begins, with the 'Collecting information', 'Dynamic Update' and the 'Preparing installation' boxes already checked. Below these, it says that 'Setup will complete in approximately :39 minutes'. About 30 secs into this process, a message box comes up with the following;
Fatal Error
An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing.
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Incorrect function.
Clicking on the OK box takes you to the logfile, which reads;
Error:
Installation Failed: D:\I386\asms. Error Message : Incorrect function.
Fatal Error:
One of the components that Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed.
Incorrect function.
Pressing OK after this reboots the machine and we go round again.
Things that I have tried to fix this:
1. Removed RAM, tried it with 2 and 1 DIMMs
2. Changed the optical drive.
3. Burned another copy of XP with SP2 at slower speed to ensure it wasn't the CD.
4. Used another HDD with same specs.
5. Scoured these forums and the net to find an answer, but nothing clear cut has arisen. Or have I missed it?
There have been a few threads which mention putting extra drivers into the XP PRO SP2 .iso, but since I am using 1 drive on SATA1 as well as an XP PRO with SP2 disk, this does not appear to be required. I have used the standard settings in the BIOS. Can anyone shine some light on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for reading!Sounds like it may be a optical drive or a bad ISO. Seems like people are having issues using Nero and recommend using PowerISO. edit: I noticed you you are using an OEM CD so more than likely either a scratched CD, a bad drive or cable.

Hi,
On a P35 Neo, the computer takes a lot of time to boot (around 2mn to see the windows logo indicating that the OS is starting). When the windows logo appears, the start up times is normal.
It seems that it takes times to check devices then it's ok
I've checked my devices (hdd, mermory ..) no problems detected. May be a bios config.
Any help is welcome
Thanks

MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games
Hi there,
I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
System Specs:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
updated BIOS to v1.A0
Reinstalled Windows
bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
tested without any background programs
raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.
Regards

Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock? -
Ms-7360 P35 Neo wo't boot with full 8GB DDR2
Let's begin with me stating my problem:
I recently bought these ddr2 modules: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_vista_performance_gold_4gb_dual_channel (2x2GB OCZ Gold PC2-6400)
I already had 2x2gb Patriot ddr2 (http://www.patriotmemory.com/products/detailp.jsp?prodline=5&catid=2&prodgroupid=38&id=658&type=1) installed on my mainboard (ms-7360 P35 Neo).
Now i can't boot Windows 7 64-bit with the full 8GB memory, it gives a blue screen or just keeps looping the boot sequence. If i use 6 GB my rig works, but is still a bit unstable.
I have tried placing the new memory modules in another rig and they work. I also tried swapping the modules:
A1 + B1: Patriot memory
A2 + B2: OCZ memory ---> doesn't work, turn out in a blue screen
A1 + B1: OCZ memory
A2 + B2: Patriot memory --> this doesn't work, because i it has something to do with BIOS remembering previous setup.
A1 + B1: Patriot Memory
A2: OCZ memory module 1 --> works, but when i was loading files to a separate hdd i got the blue screen.
A1 + B1: Patriot Memory
A2: OCZ memory module 2 --> works too, but like above it's only 6GB and i want the full 8GB.
A1 + B1: Patriot Memory
B2: OCZ memory module 1 --> works
A1 + B1:Patriot Memory
B2: OCZ memory module 2 --> works
Oh, i almost forgot to say this: During the boot i also see that, when all 4 slots are full, i see 8GB
Now if anyone can help me get the full 8GB working, I'd be a very happy personGet all 4 matching modules. It works when you have 3 of them installed because they would be in single channel mode and single channel can tolerate miss-matched RAM much better than dual channel can. 2.2V Patriot 4-4-4-12, 1.8V OCZ CL 5-5-5-18

I've just upgraded my one-year-old PC with a new CPU and additional memory. I flashed my old BIOS 1.7 to the newest 7360v20 version, which should support Q9550.
However I can't boot up normally (even to POST) and have to keep trying five times (in order to get the "BIOS settings resetted" -message). The only way to boot seems to be the following: In the resetted BIOS settings menu, I choose to load fail-safe options and DO NOT save the BIOS settings. If I save the BIOS settings, the PC restarts and I'm stuck in the beginning - not getting booted even to POST.
The processor is nicely recognized by BIOS, when I finally get there. When I get booted my OS (winXP 32-bit) seems to run fine and stable (over 100 hours up and running now). However, when I try to watch 1080p video or extract large archives, my CPU slows down remarkably (1080p just doesn't run and extracting takes ages). Basically, I cannot do anything CPU costing. I'm not feeling any other differences. The temperatures seem normal and I don't get any blue screens whatsoever.
I can think of only the following explanations
- My CPU is not supported (my Q9550 is s-spec SLB8V). However, my system had the same boot-up problems with the older E8400 after flashing the BIOS, so that doesn't seem to be the case.
- My BIOS somehow isn't correctly flashed, doesn't actually support the CPU, or some old settings bug it. I've dropped the BIOS battery out a couple of times to be sure.
- My PSU can't somehow keep up
ATM my specs are:
MSI p35 neo(-f) motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 s-spec SLB8V CPU
2x Corsair Twin2X 1024MB DDR2 800Mhz + 1x Kingston HyperX 2048MB 800MHZ DDR2 memory
MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC GPU
a cheap-ass PSU with 450W and 12V/18A, 5V/14A, 3,3V/18A
The only hardware changes are the processor and and additional Kingston RAM
The power consumption changes are:
Intel c2d E8400 TDP 65W (old cpu)
Intel c2d Q9550 TDP 95W (new cpu)Quote
but I get only 8x 333mhz = 2,66ghz
If you enable EIST in BIOS, the multiplier should be automatically set to x8.5. As far as I know, this bug only exists if EIST is disabled in BIOS. In any case, the problem should be fixed once you flash the latest A7360IMS.1A0 release for your board. Just make sure that your system is entirely stable before you think about flashing.

Invest in a better PSU as well. Yours does not look very convincing (for comparison: a Corsair VX450 PSU with the same overall wattage can deliver 33A@12V, 20@5V and 20A@3,3V ).

The IDE port belongs to the Marvell Controller. There are no special Marvell drivers available.
sjosidan, which drivers did you try to integrate at the beginning of Windows Setup (F6+Floppy). If you have a P35 Neo - board (MS-7360 PCB v1.0) there is no need to integrate any drivers during setup. In this sense, every driver you try to integrate is the wrong driver.
I know you said, that the problem is the same with Windows XP and Linux. However, let's focus on Windows XP for now when it comes to OS Installation.
Does the XP Install-CD you are using include Service Pack 2?
Which BIOS-Version are you currently using? (It should be displayed on the POST Screen (A7360IMS v1.??))
The Bios version is 1.1.0.
I dont have a sp2 disc Ive read some similar posts on the forum and I think it will work with the sp2 disc.
During my reading on this forum I've come to the conclusion that in order to install a linux system supporting IDE I first have to install Xp sp2 and then flash bios. Before installing a linux dist. Is this correct?
I ordered a new SATA disc yesterday it arrives tomorrow so then I won't have a problem, I'll be using the IDE disc in my server instead. -
Problem with my MSI P35 Neo MotherBoard [Cannot find harddrive]
Hi guys.
So, I've been trying to install Archlinux for a while now, and I've been trying to figure out what problem Is by myself, and I've been asking a bunch of people, but it seems that it's going to a dead end.
What we figured out, and what we "think" it is, is that the controller on my motherboard does not support the system, and my SATA disk that I am trying to install on.
What i have tried is that.. I've followed the "beginners guide" to install arch linux, and when i noticed that i got a big problem with my harddrive i asked some people for help, tough we cannot figure out what the problem is..
Firstly i boot up with my ArchLinux CD.. Then i write km, to change the keyboard layout. Then /arch/setup ofcourse . After that when i try to partitionate and set mountpoints for filsystem it does not show any kind of hardware at all. So i tried to partitionate with gparted and then boot up with Archlinux again to install all my packages etc etc. But it seems like it does not write the information to anything.
This is a big problem for me cause i really want my Arch distribution to work, so please guys.. Help me!
EDIT
Just in case you wanted to know.. My motherboard is a MSI P35 Neo

VCORE PROBLEMS WITH MSI P35 NEO F
To see if I can help or at least explain what's happening, buy a MSI P35 NEO F for using a quad, the topic is as follows handling vcore is rare
First thing I can not put less voltage that the cpu brings default, second what happens next if bios setting 1.3250 vcore for Quad, once in both windows everest, cpuz, like others programs tell me that this placed on 1.40 vcore which is excessive for the speed at which the quad, this is so in this mobo? Their story that was installed version 1.20 bios which handled vcore%, the upgrade to version 1.40 and is now handled in decimals (numbers) vcore, but still the problem
You pull more vcore which setting in bios and if you want to download the vcore eg put 1.26 vcore not let you because it takes the vcore default of cpu minimum.
i'm not crashing or problems with the temperatures, but nobody likes to have more vcore's necessary.
Wonder because being rookie of this mobo, maybe there's some bios version that fixes this bug or someone knows something else, thank you guys

**This thread have been updated with more information and an alteration of the story as my experience with the board/BIOS grew larger, and some information was given to me by at kind person in this thread**
Hello everyone.
Some days ago I got some new hardware and put it all together but I ran into a big problem.
Specs of the new machine:
Case: Arctic Cooling T2 Pro, Miditower, 500W
Psu name: AX-500F, specs:
+12v: 14 A (15 A peak)
+12v2: 16 A (19 A peak)
+5v: 25 A
+2.3v: 30 A
-12v: 0.5 A
+5vSB: 2.0 A (3.0 A peak)
This information is a direct quote from Artic Cooling's homepage:
Power Supply
The AX-500F is a power supply optimized for high end PC's and complies with Intel's ATX12V version 2.0. The continuous output power fulfils gaming system requirements based on multiple VGA boards.
The AX-500F was tested with the following configurations:
AMD Athlon FX-62 CPU
2 GB Ram
2x ATI X1950 XTX (Cross Fire)
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU
2 GB Ram
2x NVIDIA 7950 Gx2
I also did try booting with a more powerful PSU but still no luck, and from what I can see then this one should be powerful enough
Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, BOX
Ram: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 2x1024MB 2.1v
Graphics card: Inno3D GeForce 8800GTS, 320MB, PCI-E
CD-rom: Lite-On DVD/CD
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 74GB
OS: Windows XP 32bit
When I turned it on for the first time nothing happend, no picture no error sounds although I could see and hear that the computer was on. I turned it off and then on again, nothing, I turned it off and then on again and something happend.
I got a red text message saying that my overclocking attempt was unsuccessful, which I found pretty odd cause this was the first time the computer was on. I have now been informed that it's a fail safe build into the BIOS to prevent a melt down if you overclock it too hard, which is kinda smart. I then had the option to go into the BIOS, so I looked at every setting to see if things were OK and if it was somehow overclocked or had some wrong settings.. Everything looked and still looks alright when I save and exit. When I do save and exit, be it with the settings I think is okay, the fail safe or optimized settings then the screen just goes black.
So now for the 'clearing the CMOS' part When I reset the CMOS with the jumper I can get further than the error message about overclocking. I get two options:
1. To enter BIOS setup to configure the bios.
2. To automatically load some default settings and continue booting.
First I tried option 1, after doing a save and exit the screen went black again, got the overclocking message and had to clear the CMOS one more time.
Then I choose option 2, windows started to load, I got into safe mode and windows started to find all the new hardware and so on. When that was done I was kinda forced to reboot, screen went back and yes you guessed it... I had to clear the CMOS and choose options 2. I got as far as getting into windows and installed some of the stuff from the CD-rom's that came with the motherboard, again I was doomed to reboot and clear the CMOS. Once again option 2 needed to be selected to get the system up and running, and I got as far as to the "Want to activate windows" option, and couldn't do that cause the network card was not installed so I had no internet connectivity. Apparently if windows detect too much hardware being replaced then the activation thing pops up, and I later learned that I can't activate my windows anymore cause I used my activation quota and I have to get a new key
What I learned from my brief time in windows normal mode:
Everything seemed to work nicely, and freaking fast too....swiiing!
2gb of ram was detected, running dual channel and at the desired voltage.
The CPU was running at normal speed and voltage.
All in all everything seemed normal until I rebooted.
The only thing I can conclude is that something goes horribly wrong when I clear the CMOS, load some default settings and then reboot. I have seen that I am able to get into the system with my current hardware, but only after a CMOS clear, so what the heck is wrong, what goes wrong after the reboot?
And this is as far as I can get with my own knowledge of computers :(
So now I hope to go that I can get some help from some of you guys, any thoughts on this or anyone know of such a problem and maybe know a solution?
If I missed some information you guys need to solve this puzzle then just ask.
On a side note, if I somehow get the chance to flash my BIOS to version 1.3 in hope that if will solve my problem, then will it erase my chances to send it in for RMA and get a new board? Do I break any rules by doing that?
Best Regards

ok, when you turn it off and on and off and on, the BIOS will think it's an overclocking failure event, and hence display the overclock error message.
usually this is due to the memory settings was set incorrectly (by the BIOS itself). You may need to manually change the memory settings and see if that helps. And, please make sure that your BIOS can support FSB1333 processor like E6750 out of the box. If not, try flashing to the latest BIOS.
Hello and thanks for the quick anwser.
I did check if memory/cpu settings were okay and the seem to be on the right defaut setting. I save and exit and the screen just goes black. I forgot to add the motherboard and BIOS versions but they are there now: Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
I don't see how I will be able to flash the bios when I can't get into windows and do it, and there is no way else for me to do it. If it was the case that the BIOS didn't support FSB1333, then I would never have gotten as far as getting into windows and getting the activation message would I?
