Overclocking with msi board

ok then. lets say i cant get the details of the 6513 board then. how do i unlock the settings in the bios so that i can change the fsb settings. this will be first overclock i have tryed so if somebody could give me some advice as where to start then it would be apprciated. i have a 2ghz 400mhz fsb 512kb L2 cache processor. i take it that means it's a northwood??
Thanx For any help

Thanks for this information .
in the second link there is a client called ClockGen, is it any good to try ? Or is it better to use Bios for OCing ? I have read what was written there that the client is better to use than the Bios , but do you think this client is really good to use it instead the Bios ? Or is there another client to do the job better than this client ?
Thanks Wonkanoby !

PC MARK 4 Scores with MSI boards

Hi,
I was really surprised when I PCmarked my machine, have seen scores like 4765 on a p4 3.0 prescott with one gig on an Epox board rig, 4823 from an Abit, 4829 from biostar... with less ram than I've got.
MSI PT880
P4 3.0 Prescott-1:1 2.5 3-3-8 4x512 CorsairVS DDR400-X800pro-on air - 3807
p4 3.0 at 3.3 -6:5 2.5 3-3-8 - 3887
p4 3.0 at 3.2 1:1 2.2 3-3-8 - 4102
Although my PCmarkGraphics scores were tremedious. 21000... is that possible?
Any one have some scores they could share with MSI boards as a point of comparison?

i pulled a 4917 running 3.6ghz with stuff running in background im streaming music from my pc to others so if i turned that off probly would jump to over 5000. And checked my futurmark manager my other speed scores
3.6Ghz=4917
3.75Ghz=5449
3.8Ghz=5495

Thats right, as 10acjed said
(2x) 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400Mhz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333Mhz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266Mhz )
I can also choose 800 Mhz like the picture of his, but the adjusted dram frequency differs and 800 will result in like ~999.
Btw the dram Mhz is on generally on [auto], but that is the same as 800.
So I set it to 667, So the adjusted dram freq will be around 830.
that could be your problem right there. Is that when you are running at 300 FSB??
Try it at 533 and see what happens... If it is at 830 when set to 667 and you try and raise the cpu higher its also raising the ram higher, probably causing an issue..
I am still pretty sure you are hitting a wall with that board, its just not a great overclocking board. I am extremely disappointed with my NEO-F as far as overclocking goes. But its been running stable for about 3 years now so its a good board....
If all else fails run it at 300 - 320 (as high as you can get stable) and put the ram at 667 so it runs around 830, ou will have a nice moderate OC...

KVM switchs, any problems with MSI boards???

Hi Everybody!!
X-Abit fan here, I have a 2 port Belkin DVI KVM switch. I had trouble with Asus and kvm's so I'm asking ahead of time. I built a couple of MSI boxes in the P3 days and had good experience. I'm glad to here Quality is back as a priority at MSI. Congrats on the #1 spot on Tomshardware 965P round up.
Hope the forums here as lively as the Abit one is.
Thanks for the help??

some KVM switch has incompatibility issue with some boards. What you have is just by luck they both work together!

Overclocking with MSI KT4 ULTRA

Hi,
I'm currently overclocking my XP 1600+ Palomino to just under an XP 2200+. My Idle temp is 39C and 47C at Load. My CPU is still locked and I'm running at 167FSB x 10.5 = 1758Mhz / 334 Mhz DDR. So far this is the highest stable overclock I am able to get with my current config. I want to get up to atleast a FSB of 180 - 185 to give my GeIL 512MB DDR433 PLATINIUM some sort of challenge, but I can't get the board to post at anything higher than 168FSB. Is it my board topping out or my CPU? What kind of overclocks is everyone else getting with their KT4 ULTRAs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks )

Hehe so u think all is about MHz!!!????
If u think so go and get some education about overklocking!
I have reached 209FSB!!! Thats overkill!
And im running my system now on the min level x9 Multippel.
And that wil give me a damn strong and powerfull system, I can overklock it to reach the MHz frequence to but i dont right now, i must get a new mobo first, MSI is only !!!
Its up, i wil get a ABIT, or EpOX mobo. then i+ll show u :D
Hmm i have a picture if u want.
But i dont know how to make a link to it, becouse i dont have a webpage now.

Incredibly terrible overclocks with MSI GTX 670 PE/OC

Been using my GTX 670 PE/OC for about a month now. Since the card was supposedly made with overclocking in mind, I decided to give overclocking a try. To my astonishment, the card is perhaps the worst card I've ever had for overclocking. Using MSI afterburner with voltage turned all the way up and power limit at 114%, I could barely overclock to +20 on the core and +600 on the memory. Even at that overclock, BF3 is crashing all the time, especially when I'm doing well. Its incredibly frustrating. The only reason on got the Power Edition from MSI was because it was supposedly designed with overclocking in mind. Had I known it would be so terrible at overclocking, I wouldn't have gotten it. Am I overclocking this card wrong or is this card a dud?

Overclocking is a matter of the individual sample. One might clock great while another of the same model won't. A great board design is useless if the gpu is just a bad draw. The memory doing + 600 Mhz is an absoluely astonishing clockrate only very few GTX670 or 680s would make.
Note that overvolting the GPU is locked due to Nvidia forcing MSI to and any set voltage will result in no more than 1.175v unless you have an unlocked vbios and the right Afterburner version (2.2.3 or 2.2.5 beta 1). Please read >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<
For further assistance add your system specs.

Overclocking with Msi rs482 m4

Hello, i have a MSI rs482 M4 motherboard with a AMD dual core 3800+ processsor, and I want to be able to overclock it but the motherboard doens give anything to overclock.. even if i set the CPU stuff to Manual i cant raise the multiplier higher than x10, which is the default, cause when i do it and reboot it resets to x10, i cant either raise any voltages
how can i overclock, using this motherboard??
any advice is highly apreciated
thanxz a lot

Try www.cpuid.com and select Clockgen - on that page they list the PLL for all supported chipsets.

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

Turbo Overclock with MSI P67-GD55

Hey,
I'm trying to overclock my 2500K, but I don't want it to run always on the OC Clockrate. Now I read it should be possible to change the Turbo Multiplier so the OC only applies when heavy CPU Power is needed. When I check my BIOS and go to Overclock>CPU Features. There I find: core 0 on 37x,1 on 36x, 35x,34. But the problem is, that I can't change these values. Is this locked at the GD55 Motherboard?
System specs:
Latest BIOS version
Intel Core i5 2500K
MSI P67-GD55
4 GB RAM Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz
Samsung Spinpoint F3
Nvidia GTX275

Please read this article to better understand the turbo boost technology. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1501/2/
The technology applies max turbo boost to 3,7GHz only on lighter loads, i.e. when one core is being used. As sson as more than one core is under load the turbo boost will reduce until under full load the processor will only run at 3,4GHz. This ensures smooth transitioning between loads and a better performance under loads. There is no reason to disable this.
Furthermore, you will find when your PC idles, the clock frequency will actually go down to 1,6GHz or there abouts to conserve energy and reduce heat generation. Under light loads the Processor may run anywhere in between the minimum and maximum defined Intel clock frequencies.
If you were to increase your CPU multiplier to say 40 and leave everything else alone, then the maximum core clock applied will be 4,0GHz, but the PC will still reduce back to idle when there is no load. Give that a try and observe the behaviour. Download CPU-Z to monitor the voltages and frequencies.

Cant overclock with MSI G41 P33 MOBO!!

Hello, and thanks for reading, and maybe helping..I Have a core 2 quad q9550 and im trying to overclock to a 3.4 or 3.5 But it wont let me!!.. when i get into bios and try, it just wont do it not even to 2.9 and its a 2.8 processor...I have set it up as follows in BIOS C1E Disabled...EIST Disabled...Spread spectrum Disabled....Then I set my clock speed and NOPE!!! what am I doing wrong please someone HELP!!!!!! Should i optimizer settings first?? Or what??

A G41 board is way no oc board. Add your system components explain what you are exactly setting in bios.

Overclock with MSI Ultra KT4 MS6950 motherboard

Hi, anybody know how to overclock Athlon XP2000+ on MSI Ulta KT4 MS6590 motherboard, I 'd tried to set FSB to 166Mhz, but it went blank screen.

an XP2000+ and FSB166?? lol you nuts?
its like 12.5x166 = 2.1 ghz!!!! you have to unlock it to reach the low multipliers (8x, 9x, etc)
Try from small boosts, like FSB 138, 140, etc etc
when you reach your top oc speed (depends if you RAM can handle that high settings)
ive heard that the KT4 Bios doesnt like high fsb speeds, and i tested one and only reached FSB 140 top, so maybe future BIOS revisions will correct that
good luck!

How good are MSI Boards.

Just a question i see alot of problems listed in here with MSI boards. Why should I buy a MSI Motherboard and not just stick with a Tyan. Also does MSI make a board with out video and audio built in and with 2 comm ports?

Hi That's a real hard question to answer ,as what you see here is only a small sample of actual MSI board users. Just look at the views verses the posts numbers and you get an idea of how many peeps there are out there. I can only say that out of 4 MSI boards ,2 were bad boards. Both of those were PRO2A boards.and the RMA board came back with a bad floppy controller on the board. The other 2, both TURBO2 Ver.5 6330 boards have been excellent, with only 1 small problem, that turned out to be an OS problem. To many people are all to ready to blame the board, for user error, a problem that's probably responsible for at least 75% of the problems listed. . A look at other Motherboard sites and other forums will show you each manufacturer has thier share of problem with thier boards.Other things to consider are customer support,an area that MSI is working to improve. They now have a downloadable RMA form which should help in that area. All said and done,I will stick with MSI as long as customer support and warrenty are there BIGDADDY51CT.USA : :D )

Recent Conversation with MSI and Neo4 overclocking "thing"

I had a recent email transaction with MSI if anyone is interested. I tried my best to represent the group, and I know we all experience the problem a little bit different which is why it has been hard to explain and fix. I tried to give them the best info to duplicate the issue in the lab. It seems clear at this point that MSI still isn't duplicating the issue. They are using 166 Mem Clock Index, and the HT freq of 3x and still not understanding the issue, hopefully I have gave them a guide to duplicate what we have been trying to say. Yes I have explained this to MSI before but I really feel I am getting somewhere with my last 2 emails. Once we get them to duplicate the results then I think we will all have our solution shortly. Before anyone says anything negative, at least they aren't saying, oh that's an overclocking problem we don't deal with that. Also remember how long it has taken to get many people to see the issue, this isn't easy to understand so just stay cool, don't say negative sh-t if you reply and we'll see how this pans out. It was actully kind of hard since I am sitting in a hotel room 500 miles away from the motherboard but I was able to use modbin6 to view the BIOS and since I have done this about 7 zillion times I remember the settings LMAO. They have their Venice to 2750, not bad...
Hello MSI Engineer,
The information you requested. The data you sent shows a Venice running at 166 Memclock index value at HT at 3x, the goal is to run at 200 Memclock Index and HT at 4x. In order to duplicate this issue in the lab here is my recommendation. It MUST be tried with a CBBID Winchester RevD CPU and a Venice Rev E CPU and the Gskill memory you have in dual channel. The issue happens everytime with a CBBID Winchester and less often with Venice.
Starting with the Venice 3500+, Set the following in BIOS
[Memclock Index] 200
[CAS# latency (Tcl)] 3
[Min RAS active] 11
[RAS to CAS delay] 6
[Row Precharge] 6
[User config mode] manual
[bottom of 32 bit] (default)
[1T/2T] 1T
[Read Preamble] 6ns (default)
[Async Latency] 6ns (default)
[S/W mem hole] Disable (default)
[H/W mem hole] Disable (default)
[MTRR mapping] Continuous (default)
[High Performance] manual
[Agreessive timing] Disable
[Dynamic Overclocking] Disable
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 200
[HT Frequncy] 4
[HT Width] 16 up 16 down
[CPU Spread] Disable
[SATA Spread] Disable
[PCI Spread] Disable
[PCIe Clock] 101
[SSE/SSE2] Enable
[CnQ] Disable
[CPU Ratio] 11x
[Adjust CPU VID] 1.45
[Extra CPU Voltage] your choice for stability
[Mem Volt] your choice for stability
[NF4 Volt] your choice for stability
Now boot into Windows. Using Clockgen, increase HTT to 250. This should be stable based on your screen shot and your RAM modules. Now having a CPU 2750Mhz, RAM at 250Mhz, and a HT of 4x250(1000). Test for stablity with Prime95 or other Stress Testing tool. Now we can say motherboard is stable at 2750Mhz CPU, 250Mhz RAM, and HT 4x250(1000). Now return to the BIOS at set the following
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 250
This reults in a no POST condition for me and others. Now install the CBBID, except you will have to set a lower CPU max speed based on CBBID overclocking potential. In the BIOS, Return [Adjust CPU FSB frequency] to 200, Perhaps [CPU ratio] of 10x or 9x but a [Memory Clock Index] 200Mhz. Boot to Windows and use Clockgen to raise HTT to 250 again. Once you find a [CPU Ratio] that will have a STABLE overclock with a 250HTT. Return to the BIOS and set [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] to 250. Try and POST. Try this experiment with the 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS's. For the CBBID and the 3.1 BIOS you should be able to change the [HT Freq] to 3x, 2x or 1x and get a POST with [FSB Freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and a known stable [CPU Ratio] you found in Windows. The 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS have made this work around not possible. Why does [HT Freq] 4x work in windows but not at POST time?
As a side note. The 1.3 BIOS for the 7125 works with the Venice, and the 1.4 and 1.5 do NOT. So somewhere between the 1.3 and 1.4 MSI created the issue on the Venice. Perhaps that is where you can find the answer and solution to the problem.
Here are some articles that describe the issue on a ECS and Chaintech board that were remidied by a BIOS update. So the problem is not uncommon and should be able to be fixed.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/chaintech-nforce4_6.html
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/ecs-kn1-extreme_9.html
Here is some other users data of NF4 SLI and Ultra MSI Neo4's if you want to see some other BIOS settings.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81364.0
Here is a screen shot of my Neo4 Plat SLI (MS-7100) 3.1 BIOS and CBBID Winchester(The Venice will NOT POST at all above [Adj CPU Freq] ~219-229 under any situation but is stable in Windows at HTT 250 with Clockgen). The system is stable and POST's when [HT Freq] is 3x, it will NOT at [HT freq] 4x which is stable in windows but won't POST.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbidMSI2501.jpg
Here is another screenshot of the Asus A8N Plat SLI with all peripherals the same. Only changed the motherboard. This is POSTing at [HT Freq] 4x. This is just as a reference that the components do indeed POST with [Adjust FSB freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and [HT Freq] 4x. This board will POST both my 3200+ Venice and Winchester CBBID at the settings described above.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbid250asus1.jpg
The following are my BIOS settings that will create a non-POST condition, but the board is stable at these settings when ADJUSTED FROM WINDOWS.

Could you give us more info about what changed item inside your BIOS?
[Memclock index value(MHz)]
[CAS# latency (Tcl)]
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency]
[HT Frequncy]
[Adjust CPU VID]
[Extra CPU Voltage]¡Kor others
We try to Overclock MS-7100 with BIOS v3.2 and 3500+ (Venice core).
CPU ADA3500DAA4BW ABBWE made in Malaysia

Good news and good work guy's
On a side note to chakkasol....
are you using coolbits 1 or 2?
I heard that coolbits2 is the one for our later cards
Good question - coolbits 2. I happened to take a chance from this website and downloaded this file...ran it up against my antivirus and antispyware software and it looked clean. I simply ran the program and viola, coolbits functionality automatically added to the winxp registry. I cleaned out the msi DOT drivers first before I loaded this program. Even though I have tweaked on occasion the winxp registry to speed things up and make winxp shut down quicker, this was too complicated for me to do on my own.
The highest overclock with the MSIs DOT is 11% at 555/1100. My MSI card is actually very stable at 580/1160 for a 16% overclock. I have gotten it to 600/1200 but I usually run the coolbits stability program a few times and it has never failed at 580/1160. I am sure if I had a better cooling system than the stock fan it would probably go to 600/1200 or higher. At a 3DMark05 of 4133 (and much higher if I could get it stable at 600/1200, I would be bumping up against the stock speeds of the 6800s vid cards.
EDIT: Of course, if you download this coolbits 2 program you do so at your own risk...I take no responsibility for the download.
The coolbits download:

The MSI 6600gt card that I purchased:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=321916
btw, I have ordered more stuff from ZZF than newegg...they seem cheaper (but dont always have the stock of newegg) and the stuff gets here 1 day sooner usually (west coast to east coast USA).

Multiple Issues with the MSI board...

This is my first experience with the MSI board and so far its not very smooth... I have this MSI NEO 2 standard board My specs are
P4 2.8C
256 MB (single module) DDR 400 RAM. (TWIN MOS)
Geforce Ti4200..
80 GB Maxtor SATA
FAX
CD-ROM
WIth WINDOWS XP HOME Edition..
i have done no overclocking and the problems are..
1. First of all it takes lot of time to show the first screen... like the vga card screen comes after 4 seconds.
2. Some time i press the power button and when the system is detecting the hard disk and CDROM it gives error message like DRAM timings are too tight. i have check the BIOS setting and everything is normal and there is no overclocking and RAM is rated to run at 400 MHz.. although not a great brand but not a bad one either..
3. Sometime just before loading the operating system it gives an error message that No boot sector found.. insert a Bootable floppy or CDROM.. and when i restart it start going on as usual..
So wot are the causes of these problem .. i think mainboard is the main culprit... i have scanned my system with 2 anti virus and there is no virus..
any suggestions..?
Thanks..

Just picked up the MSI 865PE Neo2-V from BZBOYZ.COM and 1Gb generic matched Elixir 512's and I've tried dozens of bios settings as posted here. I was finally able to install 2003 ent. server and if I'm lucky, it will get past the 2003 splash screen to a login screen, I'll log in, then put it to work (you know browse some heavily populated folders) it freezes and a reset is necessary. Now, I cant even get past the splash screen. I must have booted 200 times with every bios combination and I'm tired of doing fresh installs and experiencing the same system freeze issues. I've been in the IT business and built dozens of boxes in the past and never had such problems (using bios failsafe defaults no less!) getting an OS to install and run in a reasonably stable fashion. Mobos these days are extremely frustrating! I'm going to pick up some Corsair twinx RAM and hopefully this will resolve. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated in advance of more waiting and RMAing the RAM I have for some Corsair. Do you think I'm on the right track because I'm gonna be really pissed if new RAM doesn't do the trick.
Bios settings:
Bus mastering enabled
Configured RAM manually in bios 3-4-4-7-8 (tried PSD to no avail)
Disabled dynamic o/c
Disabled spread spectrum
Normal speed
HT enabled
All other settings bios setup defaults

MSI 865PE Neo2-V latest bios: Version 5.4 Update date 2004-7-5
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=612
P4 3.2 Prescott
400 FSB
1Gb Elixir PC3200 RAM (I suspect this cheap RAM is the issue)
Memtest says it runs at 3-3-3-8
I configured it manually in bios (per some previous posts) to run 3-4-4-7 (only way to get a boot)
Native for SATA/ATA
PS-Enermax EG365P-VE FCA-3.3V-32A, +5-32A, +12-26A

HI check my previous thread, entitled problem after udate of xp, or look for threads with name on Sounds like a similar problem.
