Overclocking a MSI P6N Diamond (Q6600) I need help before I cry

So its about time for me to start overclocking. I have read the overclocking sticky and downloaded the appropriate programs to make sure I have a successful overclocking experience .
But... How do I do it?
So far I have found a site (Via google) that OC'd with my Mobo.
http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2182&page=4
Looks pretty legit so I tried it, the only thing is. I cant change the CPU, Memory, and SB voltage.
So... yeah everytime I try to change what I can (FSB and NB voltage) Windows isn't able to start up.
God Please help me.

P6N Diamond + Q6600 Overclocking Help

Hey guys,
After tweaking my setting for 7 hour, I got my computer stable @ 3.0Ghz using the following settings.
MSI P6N Diamond
Thermaltake Big Typhoon (Idle Temps 25-30C / Under Load Temps 35-50C)
FSB @ 1333
Memory @ 800
CPU Ratio @ 9x
PCI-E @ 100
CPU Voltage .0250V
Memory @ 2.2V
NB Voltage @ 1.325V
SB Voltage @ 1.50V
FSV VTT Voltage @ 12%
C1E Disabled
Now, I ran Prime95 on it from 2 AM last night till 2PM today, and had no problems. Very stable.
My only problem now is that I get random restarts on my system sometimes, like when I'm loading stuff, and so it restarts randomly, and then on boot, my Wireless Card (D-Link DWA-552 Extreme Wireless N) wont work anymore. Windows will see it, and says it works, but it wont detect any wireless networks. My Sound Card works fine, it is also in a PCI slot like the Wireless Card, so I'm wondering what else I need to tweak to make my peripherals working.
Thanks

MSI P6N Diamond and very slow BIOS menus

I'm having problems with my new setup. My setup is as follows:
MSI P6N Diamond with 1.1 bios update
2 x OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2P800R22GK
XION Supernova XON 600W Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (not overclocked yet, having problems whenever I change settings)
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB Video Card
I'm running Vista 32bit fine as far as I can tell, everything is pretty snappy and other programs are running fine, but the machine is very slow to post and running the bios menus is a painful process as it takes about 2-4 seconds to switch selections. I tried running the board with 1 stick of ram in slot 1, with slots 1 & 3 and all 4 and it made no difference. I had a USB card reader plugged in and then removing it seemed to make a difference for a while, the BIOS menus ran as I expected, very snappy. Also anytime I switch the CPU clock from automatic to manual the computer won't post and i have to reset the bios
Anyone have a clue what could be causing this slowness and my inability to overclock the cpu?

I will be getting the Q6600 in 1 week, :D. The new G0 stepping as well :D. I'm excited.
Are you using XP or Vista? I have had no distortion or pops with my sound. Although, from what I hear the drivers for XP or much more polished than those for Vista. This is a Creative issue, and not an MSI issue. Lots of people are having problems with Vista with the standalone Creative cards as well.
I overclocked my E6700 to about 3.5Ghz, and hit a temp wall based on my ambient temps. I probably could have gone higher if it was cooler in the room that houses the computer. Although, the temps have dropped dramatically after the AS5 has cured, probably could get it pushed up a bit higher. Hopefully I don't have problems with it when the Q6600 comes in.
If you got the older B3 stepping version, it will run a bit hotter and will be much harder to OC to higher speeds because of this. I've found the P6N Diamond to be very OC friendly and like all the options it gives. The only thing I don't like is the adjustment of the Vcore lists the # above stock, instead of the absolute #. Sometimes the Vcore it auto assigns isn't 100% correct I've heard so it'd be nice to know what that auto value is. The Vcore reading you can read in the monitor section fluctuates a hair in each direction of 1.3 for me when at stock, so I assume it was 1.3 stock.

Any News (MSI) P6N Diamond (680i) SLI Motherboard

Any one know about the release of (MSI) P6N Diamond (680i) SLI Motherboard

Quote
honestly, if it's not for SLI, I think I'll wait for ATI, ops, AMD RD600 chipset mobo instead.
I complete agree with that. Just getting bored with the Opteron system. I have an insider I am getting a e6600 from for 1/2 price this week, so I was looking at boards. Think I want to try the 680i over the 975, and while the RD600 looks like it will be a winner it's still a ways out.
MSI had stated end of December for the P6N and that time is upon us.
Honestly after the last purchase I swore I would never buy another MSI, but I kind of crave pain that way, after about a year of mods on this current board, and emails with the MSI BIOS crew I think the K8N SLI was the 2nd best Nforce 4 board made out there. Plus it gives me another forum area to read here beside the Nvidia, and overclocking sections.

Hello. Im new to overclocking also. Ive just got my setup like 2 weeks ago and want to do a little ocing myself on this board. What did you use to Oc? Bios? Ntune? I tired Ntune, but when I try to raise something and apply it, it just locks up the comp and i have to restart. Ive checked the Bios and it was a little confusing in there. Here is my setup
Motherboard: MSI P6N Diamond

Thank You in advanced for any help. I don't want to do that big of ocing, just to get the CPU to 2.5Ghz or something.

MSI P6N Diamond - No Sound

I have just put together a new system and cannot get any sound out from the speakers. Tried several reinstall of windows and sound drivers but no joy. Any help would be appreciated.
MSI P6N Diamond (amibios v 1.10), X-FI Extreme Fidelity v. 1.1.1
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz 1066MHz)
Crucial 4GB kit (2GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300
2 x EVGA 8800GTS SuperClocked 320MB - SLI
Enermax EIN720AWT 720w Infinity (+3.3V-25A, +5V-30A, +12V1-28A, +12V2-28A, +12V3-30A, -12V-0.6A, +5VsB-3A)
2 x Western Digital WD5000AAKS 500GB SATA II 7200RPM
Pioneer DVR-212BK 18X SATA DVD±RW
Windows XP Professional SP2

open up the audio app for the x-fi located on the bottom right. Go into settings and make sure you have the setting disabled that automatically recognizes that you have headphones plugged in. And make sure the speaker settings are set to speakers and not headphones. Worked for me when I couldn't get sound when I plugged it in on the back. Odd yess but worked for me.

MSI P6N Diamond - Flashing the BIOS

hi all,
I am using a MSI P6N Diamond motherboard. I have gone several years without a problem.
However, recently, I decided to upgrade from 4GB of RAM to 8GB of RAM. I confirmed with Crucial that the memory I was purchasing was guaranteed to be compatible with the existing RAM.
To that end, I flashed the BIOS to the latest version using the MSI Utility program and followed the instructions. The operation was a success.
However, after doing this I noticed that occasionally I will get a "blue screen" when Windows is about to boot. At first I thought it might be a faulty RAM module, so I removed all memory sticks except one which I have been using for years. I know that RAM module is not faulty but I ran memtest86+ to be sure and it did not report any problems. But the blue screen problem still occurs.
The blue screen doesn't occur every time, but it is rather easy to reproduce. I will likely see it at least once on every 4-5 reboots. I can't read anything because it flies by too fast.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing when updating the BIOS on a P6N motherboard? How can I get additional information on the blue screen?

Can you provide a screenshot of your CPU-Z memory and SPD tabs.
Note: I currently have all 8GB of RAM installed.

At this stage I would recommend you flash back to the BIOS that you were running previously with success.
I would like to save this as a last resort if possible. I know that this is a risky procedure. Do I need v1.3 in order to support 8GB of RAM?
Quote from: Bernhard on 23-September-11, 11:11:46
What are the error codes of your BSODs. Bottom tight of your task bar is a little flag, left click on it and open the Action Centre. At the top of the dialog you will see Security and Maintenance. Expand the Maintenance option. Select an option called "View reliability history". Now you can click on all the red crossed items in the date/timeline and then then View the technical detail, which should include the BSOD codes wherever there are any.
I'm not sure if Vista Home Premium is different, but I don't see a flag in bottom right of the task bar. However, if I right click My Computer->Manage there is a Reliability and Performance->Reliability Monitor. I believe this is equivalent to what you are referring to, as it shows the red crossed items and shows application/hardware failures, etc. Here is a screenshot of that:
http://img813.imageshack.us/img813/2452/reliability.jpg
The problem is that it doesn't show any of the red crossed items for this issue. I have seen at least 4 or 5 of them on 9/22 but nothing is listed on that date. When this blue screen occurs, it seems to occur as soon as the "Microsoft Windows" screen appears while booting. It will show the black Microsoft Windows loading screen and the loading bar and blue screen almost immediately. Is it possible that the problem occurs too soon for it to appear here?
EDIT: I should also note that I have reformatted and reinstalled Windows but the problem persists.
Another odd issue just occurred to me but I'm not sure if it's related. After reinstalling Windows, I would get a "New Hardware found" popup box for the onboard Creative sound. I installed the Creative sound driver, but I would still get the "New Hardware found" box for the onboard Creative sound after rebooting. It looks like that problem has gone away, though.

MSI P6N Diamond Driver Probl

I recently was one of the brave few to order a MSI P6N Diamond motherboard. This board is only few months old if that, and of course all the drivers and bios for this board are buggy. One thing I should note about this board is if you disable the IDE controller, your cpu voltage will shoot up to .7 volts( stock is .3) and if your lucky , fry your brand new E6600 chip. (NOT COOL)?Besides that fun I will get to the point. I could of cared less about the onboard X-FI , but with PCI slots going by by and no one is making any PCIexpress sound cards (that I am aware of). I sorta figured well shoot, now I am stuck with this sound card.
At first, I was , wait its a creative labs sound blaster X-FI, those are those new ones that seem really cool (NOT). I wont lie, in games it sounds million times better then my old Audigy did, no more pops or cracks (5 year old card) the EAX effects sound more life like, 5. channels works cleaner. I was like "way-a-go creative!"? Then the problems started.
I loaded up my favorite program Fruityloo
ps.
After looking over the sound properties , I notice there was no ASIO cards to be found? Hmm.... Could? naa, no ASIO on a creative labs sound card? At first I thought I must of time warp back to the Li've! days, shoot at least I could use KX drivers make that baby work great!? This time I was left in the dark ?No problem, I will just goto creative.com and download the new drivers, forget those MSI drivers came with the board, I would rather use the manufactures drivers instead anyhow (creative). WRONG!! "setup could not find any supported devices in your system"?... Figures ?So i tryed to boot leg the drivers and force them to work , naa that wont work. So I am guessing Creative WILL NOT support this sound card because they didnt install it on to the motherboard, MSI did, they are the ones who do the driver support, go bug them! (as i would figure). MSI says "well we use there drivers off there site and make them work with our boards, they are up-to-date!" I dont know , this sucks, is there a way i can rip off the X-fi chip on my motherboard and get a refund, heck shoot me over a audigy 2 at least those work 'ok'....
?Besides that ASIO problem, I notice FEAR Combat will BSOD and sometimes say a file called "t3filt.sys" was involved, funny that file comes up as a "Sensaura" file? I have no clue what thats all about, I know this if I disable the onboard sound card from the BIOS, the system runs 00% stable, I enable it, game will randomly crash....
I do know what a computer is and how to get drivers working, but I would almost bet my problem is the driver, and not the hardware (I hope). Sean-

so how bad is it's does this mean iam SOL or what, i just got done reading one of those other threads on here about the X-FI extreme audio scam, I guess iam right up in there with the rest guys. I cant jerry rig the drivers at all, is there any third party drivers that will work?What can one do?If it comes down to it I will litterly desolider the x-fi chip off the board, no sence in having it on there if iam not going to use it?Probley snap it in half when iam done and mail it back to creative. Sean-

Is MSI P6N Diamond supports EPP(Memory)

I got this CORSAIR TWIN2X2048-8500C5D 1066MHz and it has EPP (Sli ready ram). On CPUid SPD, i see JEDEC1(266), JEDEC2(400) and EPP(533).
On default setting for the bios it registered as 800Mhz only using JEDEC2 5-5-5-18 (1.8v).
The memory specification says 5-5-5-15 (2.1v)
Is the board MSI P6N Diamond supports EPP?
I googled it and it s clearly says that Nvidia nForce SLI Boards/Corsair supports EPP and highly recommended for stability.
Anyways i manually set the memory to its specification.

i set it to EPP settings manualy 5-5-5-15-22-2t 2.1 v..
boards with true EPP settings http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/FoxconnC51XEM2AA/7.html
"One interesting note about EPP is that when using above-800 MHz EPP memory with the EPP option enabled in the BIOS, the BIOS will automatically adjust all the necessary bus clocks, multipliers, and voltages to yield memory clock speeds as close to the maximum rated clocks of the DIMM as possible"
I think the P6N diamond doesnt have the feature using EPP.
Even if i use auto timings on the memory, it doesnt match all the timings for SPP/JEDEC (esp on my old ocz pc2-6400 800mhz rams)

Hello and welcome,
First of all, 1066MHz isnt garantueed to work on that board, I have the same and although is says so on the box, it isnt supported, look here:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&cat3_no=&prod_no=1140#menu
533/667/800Mhz only.
To reach 3.6 try following:
Raise NB step by step, until ~1.35V max, SB @stock, FSB VTT to 4 - 8%
Set FSB to 1600 and mem to 800 on auto timings, you can adjust those later.
And leave Vcore on 0.100V as said in your post.
See if you can get it to run then.

MSI P6N Diamond with E8400 EIST

Running the p6n diamond with the E8400 and I can not seem to get the EIST to work. I try to enable it in the bios, but once I exit it goes back to disabled. Even with the F4 in the bios, I do not see any options for the C1 feature. Currently I have my CPU OCed to 3.6GHz, but that is recent and I could never get the EIST to work even at stock speeds.

but just not EIST staying enabled.
That means, if you re-enter the BIOS Setup after you have saved & exited it, your changes are lost? All of them or just "Intel EIST" in the Cell Menu?
Quote
because the OCing voltage/FSB is changing
Can you be more specific about what values are actually changing and under which condiditions? Try to give a more detailed explanation of what is actually going on there.
Quote
I could not find C1E support anywhere before even with F4 in the bios, is it suppose to be there?
It should be under "CPU Features". Press F4 multiple times while you are in that BIOS Section.

People have said there is suppose to be an "EIST" option in there, but I have never seen it.
There is no "EIST" option in there.

MSI GTX 460 Hawk hangs, need help

Hello!
Need help with my MSI GTX 460 Hawk.
Sometimes it hangs and I need to restart my computer and sometimes screen goes black and then windows says that video driver wasn't responding and was recovered.
Computer hangs more often in the 3D game, but in not 3D programms computer hangs too, but no so often.
The temperature is ok, maximum is 70 deg. in 3D game. I even tried to set videocard cooller to 100% and it didn't help.
I did no overclocking or anything like this.
I use the latest videodriver from nvidia's website and the latest directx.
Windows 7 64bit.
Can you help me to solve this problem?

It hasn't worked when i first wanted to use and i changed the jumper to the securit mode than it worked but it has never opened with one button pushing.I was always trying to get screen vision with 3-5 closing and opening.One day i tried to get the jumper back and i tried to open but it never worked. I got the jumper securit again but again never worked. I tried everything but it never worked after that event. Normally i had to inform it at first and give it back or give it to the repairing but i couldn't have time. Now i have to do it this time. Now i want to change this or something else but in Turkey. I am living in Turkey and does MSI Support Centre change it or repair it? What can i do to get rid of this problem. Need help!

I thought with modern power supplies though it can't fry stuff
If a PSU breaks down, it breaks down. When internal voltage regulators of a PSU malfunction for some reason, the supply voltages to the components can become horribly dirty and unstable. Sudden voltage spikes could have killed any component.
Quote
unless the ram or motherboard came to me already DOA, id have no way of knowing
Well, in order to know, you have to test your stuff. In case you do not have spare (and functioning!) components for testing purposes you are screwed. Bring your system to a computer shop for assistance (or: RMA everything).

MOVED: Overclocking a C2Q6600 On a MSI P6N Diamond

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114761.0

3.2Ghz should be a pretty stable overclock..in addition to raising the FSB, you also need to increase the CPU voltage, try .0125 or .0250 increase to start. Monitor your CPU temps, but it should be stable with those settings. Good luck.
Paul PS: most quad users have had to increase VTT to 12% or better in addition to raising FSB and CPU voltage.
