Overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920

Hi,
I need help on how to overclock MSI Eclipse Plus with Intel Core i7 920?
Here are my system spec.
MSI Eclipse Plus
Antec Quattro 850W PSU
Corsair TR3X6G1600C9
120GB Sata HDD

With a stock Intel CPU cooler, I don't recommend going past what default voltages can achieve, excluding maybe a memory voltage increase or timings adjustment if needed. Some utilities are very important to have before starting to OC such as Real Temp & CPU-Z. What are your CPU & IOH temps reading in bios H/W Monitor? The temps of the individual cores is also very important, which Real Temp will provide you with.
As mentioned, with a stock cooler, I would suggest not going past about 3.507 (bclk 167 X 21). Other settings need to be changed before this is done however. We need those temps too, before specific settings can be suggested. The last thing any of us want to do, is make settings changes & voltage recommendations that may damage your system.

  • MSI-7293 compatible with Intel Core 2 duo E7600 proessor?

    Hi, I'm trying to revive an old tower system and a mate of mine gave me one of these mobo's with a Celeron Dual Core E1200 installed.
    This processor is a bit too anaemic for my purposes and was hoping to install the E7600 Core 2 Duo but I'm not entirely sure the CPU is compatible with the board.
    The CPU is an LGA 775 and this board is supposed to support Core 2 Duo and also 1066FSB so all looks good from that point of view. But as this seems to be an "early" 775 mobo and the E7600 a much later CPU I wanted to be sure before buying one.
    The board has BIOS version VF1120 if that helps.
    Also if the 7600 is compatible any opinions on whether the heatsink/fan combo from the celeron would be sufficient for the 7600 as both CPU's have the same max TDP (65W)?
    Any advice gratefully received   

    There is no MS-7293 retail board: http://www.msi.com/service/search/?kw=MS-7293&type=product
    What you have is an oem board made for Fujitsu (http://download.ts.fujitsu.com/WDB/FAQContentstart.asp?ID=23388551&Info=SA&Todo=Fullsearch&Sprache=en&LNG=COM&RN_FAQ=Search%20result)
    This forum only covers retail MSI products not oem ones. For question concerning cpu support ask the pc manufacturer because he determines what cpu is supported. As your board is an old VIA PT890 chipset board chances are slim anyway.

  • MSI Eclipse Plus cannot startup and always on "suspend"

    Good day everyone, I'm at wits end. Currently using the MSI Eclipse Plus with i7 920 (not overclocked yet) with a Gigabyte 800W Odin Pro Power Supply. The problem I'm encountering is at the startup. When I press power button the board blinks blue like normal and immediately goes into suspend mode. (well im guessing it is cos there is a yellow led light above the power button on the motherboard indicating suspend).
    I tried unplugging devices, fans, hard disks, all peripherals but the motherboard just wont boot up.
    The funny thing was yesterday I was using the computer and it was just fine. No problems...until this evening when it decided not to boot at all and stubbornly display the yellow LED stating its on suspend.
    What gives?
    Hope you guys can help me cos really I am so tempted to ditch this board right now.

    Sounds like all is well. That's good news. If all is confirmed stable, I wait a week or two before OC'ing to give everything some time to settle in. There is some real good OC info in the OC & Modders part of the forum. Actually, when you are ready to start OC, it is best to start a new thread in the OC & Mod section of the forum. If your CPU cooler is stock original, 3.5 is probably a realistic goal. A base clock of 166-7 & multi 21 with Turbo Boost, should net about 3.507. Keep in mind, the RAM is affected as well, & those settings will probably need some adjustment as well. There are other settings that need to be changed too. When you create your new thread, be sure to make a signature of all your system components. It makes it a bunch easier to make recommendations.

  • Does arch support " Intel Core i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2."

    Hi, i'm new to linux as well as Arch .  But would like to try Arch , since lot of linux users says Arch is good. I got my new home pc with  " Intel® Core™ i7-920 processor(8MB L3 Cache, 2.66GHz) " . Does Arch supports this processor to it's full potential. Did a search in the forums . I could not find the answer. Thanks in advance.

    As an x86 compatible CPU, why would it not be supported? Newer stuff is backwards compatible; you should worry about older stuff not being supported anymore, due to the new instructions introduced in more recent products.
    Also, we've had this kind of questions before: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=88585

  • MSI P55 GD80 compatible with Intel COre i7 Extreme 965

    hye there, i just wanted to know is the new p55 GD80 fits with intel core i7 extreme 965??..
    as far as i concern, p55 mobo compatible with any i5 or i7 board, is that true.?

    The p55 stands for the chipset , so it's a p55 chipset and no x58 chipset ,.
    The p55 is only compatible with cori i5 and core i7 starting with 8... ( 860 , 870) it support only dual channel memory and not triple like the core i7 9... (920 , 940 , 950 965 ,975).
    The core i5 and core i7 860 ,870 has the pci-e controller integrated so you have only 1x16 or 2x 8x8  or 1x8 and 2x4 for triple sli in sli or crossfire. The core i7 9.... with x58 chipset have 2x 16 pci-e or 1x16 and 2x8 for triple sli , so for highend multi gpu's the x58 has a advantage and it has triple channel memory , but it is a small advantage.
    See here the socket  it support and if it has hyper-treathing or not.
    The core i5 750 has no hyper-treathing the core i 7 does, no matter what socket ( 1156 or 1366)

    Base line if you want a core i7 Bloomfield =920 ,940 , 950 , 975 or 965 you need a x58 chipset based motherboard.= socket 1366 = triple channel memory DDR3

  • MSI eclipse plus startup problem

    Hi,
    I have the MSI eclipse plus motherboard, but I have a strange startup problem.
    Sometimes my computer fails to start up. When I try again sometimes it works fine. (without changing any hardware or software configuration)
    The Eclipse plus has a small  D-led2 panel that shows information about the startup phases.
    When my startup fails, the panel mentions: CPU init. And the error Code is FF (this means: power on and first initialize CPU)
    (This is the phase just before DDR init).
    So the startup fails in a very early stage of the startup process, (before I can access my bios)
    When the start up fails, I have to disconnect the power cable, reconnect and try to start again. This is a very uncomfortable situation.
    I have the latest BIOS version 21/04/2009 V1.0
    I tried the fail-save default options in the bios.
    My processor is i7 940
    RAM: OCZ DDR3 . 6 pieces of 2GB. 1600Mhz (3 dual channel kits)
    Power supply: Corsair 1000Watt
    I hope somebody can help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Please note that the memory controller was moved into the CPU with the i7 - it is no longer part of motherboard chipset (MCH). You're not the first and probably won't be the last to buy the wrong type of DDR3 memory for your i7 rig. People, before you buy; check if the memory you are handing money over for is actually suitable for your CPU. Simple really as they will state they are i7 compatible. The i7 has a recommended maximum voltage of 1.65V for the integrated memory controller, 1.9V is probably a dangerous voltage to set it to (if the BIOS even allows it). To quote the OCZ FAQ:
    Quote
    The memory supply voltage also powers the receivers and senders on the memory controller with a voltage plane known as VDDQ. Because the Corei7 is manufactured on a 45 nm node, the logic is sensitive to overvoltage and Intel defines the upper safe limit for the Core i7 as 1.65V.
    So to answer your question:
    Quote
    I still have one question: What do I risk with my DDR3 memory that is standard at 1.9V
    More than likely, the integrity of the i7 940 itself. You have to ask yourself, "What's cheaper to replace... the RAM or the CPU?" The answer should be simple enough to work out for the average user.
    I'd be taking the RAM back if at all possible and exchange/upgrade it for an i7 compatible kit (which will be three/six stick tri-channel, not two/four sticks dual-channel) designed to operate within the 1.5V~1.65V recommended voltage range. The OCZ equivalent (comparing what you currently have) to what you want would be this range.

  • MSI Eclipse Plus problems

    Hi Guys,
    Spec as follows;
    MSI Eclipse Plus
    Inwin 650W Commander 80+ PSU
    i7 920 CPU
    6x 2GB Apacer DDR3 10600 1333MHz

    Logitech MX5500 Revolution Cordless Desktop
    Logitech Z5500 Digital Surround Sound
    MS Vista Ultimate 64bit
    Bios Rev 1.0
    After a week of struggling and the box traveling back to the wholesaler twice the OS is loaded and the MB and graphics drivers. I have faced problems from the incorrect voltage RAM being supplied (1.9V) to a horribly unstable system that boots when it wants to. Currently when the systems boots there is a 25% chance that graphic of the "windows starting" page is corrupted and the PC hangs.
    This is using the only current configuration that will boot to hand to OS. I have removed 3x memory modules and only left the Black slots populated. When I populate the blue slots over and above the board quickly overheats and becomes unstable. Upon reboot either cold or hot the system will hang on "DDR init", reboot 3 times or more and sometimes displays the overclock error.
    Does anyone know what the problem is and is there a workaround or update to correct this. This PC has cost plenty dough and is frustrating the hell out of me.

    Max voltage for ram is 1.65V , change the settings manually if needed in the bios.
    Try asking a new bios on the MSI on-line support , there is a new one but it is beta i believe. (A7566IMS.111 date 1/06/2009)
    They gave me one(beta) for my eclipse (not plus)and mine is running like a rocket.

  • I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a 2008 Imac with  Intel Core 2 duo am I compatible with OSX 10.6 snow leopard, much less Lion and Mountain Lion?

    I want to link all my apple products so I can use icloud with ease but I am running OSX 10.5.8 on a 2008 imac with intel core 2 duo and not sure it's going to be beneficial or compatible. Is my desktop really just an external hard drive alreadt in 5 years? I just purchased a mac book pro 2012 and also have a 3Gs iphone I just want to have a happy apple family ; )

    Your computer is compatible with all of those OSes, but may need more RAM to run 10.7 or 10.8. As the RAM requirement is the same for both 10.7 and 10.8, don't bother with 10.7 unless you're using software incompatible with 10.8.

  • MacBook Pro 17" with Intel Core 2 Duo startup freeze with 10.6.8?

    With my MacBook Pro 17" with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz startup freeze with 10.6.8 - I had problems after several SW upgrades. Startup ends every time in a freeze or a crash, nothing is running, i am not able to type in the password. it starts in beginning with thin colored disrupting lines on the display and this get more and more and than freeze the system.
    "Save Boot", startup with shift shows no problems, display is ok, no freeze. So something must new in the video-driver. Is there any driver what I can delete or any new software to help in this issue?

    try to boot off the cd installazzione, when the screen appears to follow thePACKING screen viewing. If you've already looked in the manual are your problem?

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

    I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly.  There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS.  There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement.  If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
    I have an aphorism:  Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality.  Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
    Ciao.

  • Will CS4 Extended work with Intel Core 2 Duo?

    Considering purchasing a CS4 Extended for my OS X v10.4.11 with Intel Core 2 Duo, but reading here I need a multicore Intel processor...
    There's no way I could make it work with my processor at all?

    Since it says it will run on a G5 I imagine it would run on your newer Intel Mac.  I think that's what the "Duo" means - multi core.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core#Core_Duo

  • Will Mountain Lion work on my 4 year old iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo   Processor Speed:     2.66 GHz

    Will Mountain Lion work on my 4 year old iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and a 2.66 gHz.
    Really do not want to load it and find there are issues.
    Oh I really not a big tech guy I just want everything to work well.
    And I'm just about to purchase a Mac Book Pro as well.
    Any thoughts and comments would be appreciated
    Cheers

    I also have a 4 year old iMac 24". it is the 3.06 GHz Core 2 Duo. I have been running Mountain Lion since it was released, and before that Lion. Runs great. Over the last month I have noticed some slow data transfers from a USB harddrive. But not enough to do any research. I use a USB harddrive for my Time Machine backup and notice no problems or slow transfers while the Time Machine backup runs. My iTunes has its nedia files on a USB harddrive and is used to watch videos, play music and share photos on the AppleTV. I also use Aperture on the iMac to store and manage 20,000 photos.
    I have 6 GB of ram, 4GB and 2GB memory sticks. I know it is best to have identical ram sticks but my iMac model cannot run 8GB of ram and I feel 6GB is better than 4GB.
    Mountain Lion is a great OS and I am glad I upgraded. It works great with the AppleTV (no airplay but iTunes on the iMac serves up all our music, photos and videos), iPhone, and iPod Touch. Also with my wifes brand new Macbook Pro. All the devices including the iMac can share data on iCloud.

  • Will Lion 10.7.x run on MacBook Pro 17", MacBook Pro 2,1 with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz ?

    Will Lion 10.7.x run on a 63-month old MacBook Pro 17", MacBook Pro 2,1 (2GB RAM) with Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.33 GHz ?
    Currently running Leopard 10.5.8 and about to update to Snow Leopard.

    It will run, if that's what you want. I'd think twice though. If you want to try Lion, upgrade your RAM to the max: 4GB's(Apple says 3, but your machine will run 4), however only a little over 3GB's will be able to be addressed(limitation of your computer). IMO, Lion needs a minimum of 4GB's of RAM to function properly. In your case, you'd be a little shy. I'd suggest you go to SL & stay there.
