P35 Platinum and MSI 8600 GT problem

I have a problem with the computer locking up. It will do it on certain web sites, clicking around in Media player and other programs. I tried everything I could think of. Finally I Got an 8400 video card locally and everything is fine. My question is, since the 8600 GT gets all of it's power from the PCIE slot could it be a voltage problem? If so, I see no way of increasing the PCIE voltage in the bios for this MB.
Any ideas before I send this card back?
Thanks,
Bill
Msi P35 Platinum Motherboard
Core2Duo 6850
2 gig Corsair XMS2 6400C4D Dominator Memory
OCZ Stealth X Stream 600 Watt Powersupply

It locked up with default bios settings and no overclocking. I didn't overclock the video card at all. I tried everything. Since I put in a temporary 8400GTS I have the processor overclocked to 3.3gig and everything is fine. Could the 8400 need less power than the 8600GT and if so is there a way to increase the voltage on the 16X PCIE slot? This is a MSI MB and MSI Video card so I would expect them to work together.

What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?

What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?
P35 Platinum
P35 Neo2 FIR
BIOS is identical?

The P35 Neo2 is FIR is actually listed as P35 Neo2 FR/FIR. It is what you could call a "modular mainboard". Even if it has the same PCB as the P35 Platinum mainboard, it doesn't necessarily mean, that it will always come with the same features.
If you look at the mainboard manual you will find that the ICH9R-Chipset and Firewire are mentioned as optional features. That means you will be able to purchase versions of this mainboard that will only have an ICH9 chipset and therefore won't support RAID or that don't have a firewire interface.
The abbreviation F,I and R have the following meaning:
F...Gigabit LAN
I... Firewire
R...RAID
In case you decide to buy the P35 Neo2 mainboard, pay close attention to the feature list. Even if the board is listed as FIR by a specific dealer, make sure it really comes with firewire and an ICH9R-chipset. If someone decides to sell the board with the full name that appears on the MSI Support Site (FR/FIR) he might be actually trying to sell a P35 Neo2-F trying to get a better price.

P35 Platinum and eSata problem

I recently bought a WD My Book Premium ES 500GB and when i try to connect it via eSata cable, it doesn't work.My system can't recognize the drive, it doesn't show up in BIOS screen where HDD's are. I tried 2 different eSata cables but nothing.Via USB2 connection it works fine.
My system Specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600,MSI P35 Platinum Mobo with latest BIOS update 1.1, 2GB RAM DDR2, Asus X1950XT VGA,Tagan 500W PSU.
I tried both eSata ports at the Back Panel of my motherboard but none worked with My Book.
Is there a problem with My Book? or is a compatibility issue?

Make sure you have set the switch or whatever your external drive has, to E-Sata mode. I'm sure you probably already did that but just sayin!
I have a different board AND different external drive but after playing with my setup for a whole day trying to get the esata to work, it finally dawned on me that I had not set the switch from USB to Esata (no wisecracks please
As soon as I did the switch, the Esata started working just fine.

P35 Platinum and WD Hard Disks unrecognised on cold boot

Hi,
I am having a problem with my WD drives on my P35 Platinum motherboard. Simply, if I power down my PC neither drive is recognised when I boot up again. Usually I have to open the PC, reseat the SATA cables (this may be a red herring) and then when restarted the drives are recognised again.
A simple restart from within Windows (warm boot) works every time.
I would have suspected a cabling connection problem, except that I have tried other cables and also the fact that it is both drives every time, rather than one, other or both randomly.
I have seen other people having problems with the spin-up time of WD drives and have disabled quick booting in the BIOS, but this has not helped much. I have also verified that the RAID Mode is set to IDE, as I am not using any RAID features.
The disks themselves are plugged into SATA3 & SATA4, whilst my Pioneer DVD Writer is plugged into SATA5.
I have the latest BIOS installed but cannot remember the version number off the top of the head, my full hardware spec is in my sig and the 160GB drive is my system disk.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try?
Apart from this issue my PC works flawlessly.
Regards,
Charles

Just FYI though, it appears (by some comments on Newegg.com) that there is some compatibility issue between my CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 750W and the P35 Neo2-FR motherboard. The power supply worked fine by itself, and the motherboard ended up working fine with a different power supply (Antec Neopower 650 Blue).

P35 Platinum and NX8800GTS

I have both motherboard and graphic card from MSI (oh yeah ):
- Graphic card : NX8800GTS T2D640OE
- Motherboard : P35 Platinum (MS-7345 v1.x)
And I have question about power connectors on board of graphic card and motherboard. On motherboard there is power connector sweetly called JPWR1, described in manual as "JPWR1 12V power connector is used to provide power to the PCIEX16 graphics card".
But on graphic card is already power connector. I can plug in specific cable that divides in two normal power connectors to connect to power supply.
It is safe to plug in all three connectors to power supply? (one to JPWR1 on motherboard, two to graph card through this special cable)
It is even neccessary to plug in all connectors?

Maybe I will buy another hard drive in future, but nothing more.
I punched your component list into the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator v2.5. Only the Pro-Version (not free) shows the amperages on the different rails (+12V, +5V, +3,3V). The overall wattage if a PSU doesn't really really mean anything without the amperage values.
Anyways, I selected "High End Desktop Mainboard", "2 SATA drives" in the component list, added three 120mm fans, three USB devices and one additional PCI card. I also set CPU Utilization (TDP) to 100%.
The result is:
Quote
373W
+12V: 23A
+5V: 13.4A
3.3V: 9A
On the bottom the is footnote to the option called "Electrolytic capacitor aging" that says:
Quote
When used heavily or over an extended period of time (1+ years) a power supply will slowly lose some of its initial wattage capacity. We recommend you add 10-20% if you plan to keep your PSU for more than 1 year, or 20-30% for 24/7 usage and 1+ years.
When I enter 15% the calculation adds up to:
Quote
429W
+12V: 26.5A
+5V: 15.4A
3.3V: 10.4A
Finally, I overclocked your CPU to 4GHz / VCore 1.4V:
Quote
481W
+12V: 30.8A
+5V: 15.4A
3.3V: 10.4A
I don't know how accurate these calculations are. In any case, they should give you an idea of your systems power consumption. When I choose PSUs I always make sure I have a headroom of about 30% in the +12V-amperages. So if I was you I would get a PSU with about 36-40A maximum amperage on the +12V-Rail, depending if I plan to overclock the CPU or not.
Many users in this forum will recommend choosing a Single +12V-rail PSU. One of the reason is you won't have to worry about problems due to inbalanced power loads or wasted power resources.
If you plan to get a PSU with two +12V-rails, make sure that the maximum amperage on each rail is at least 18-20A. Maximum combined amperage on +12V should not be less than 36-40A.

P35 Platinum and Vista/ACPI issue

I'm having problems trying to get Vista installed on my P35 Platinum-based system. I'm getting an error at the beginning of Vista's installation that the BIOS doesn't support ACPI. Well, that option is turned on in the BIOS, and I've toggled just about every setting under the Power Management section of the BIOS config utility, but nothing makes a difference. I flashed the latest (1.2) BIOS to the board, no change. I'm also seeing the computer go to a 'Safe to turn off your computer' screen rather than it just powering off - is this related?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

ACPI has to be enabled before you install XP. If you re-enable it after installing XP, you will get a bluescreen. If you used an existing Windows Installation, that was set up under different system conditions, it probably didn't have the proper HAL drivers for the new configuration.
If you re-install XP with ACPI, IOAPIC and MPS Table = 1.4 you shouldn't have any problems.

Device Manager does not permit the change from a Non-ACPI HAL to an ACPI HAL. You must use a new install of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 for this kind of change. Change from an ACPI HAL to a Non-ACPI HAL only for troubleshooting purposes.

P35 Platinum and Patriot Memory DDR2 PC6400

Hello,
I've tried to adjust RAM Timings, RAM Voltage and RAM frequency manually on my P35 Platinum with BIOS 1.4. I had a reboot loop at CAS 4 so I've tried to put at 1000 MHZ ratio 2:3 after a clear CMOS. It's working.
Now my Patriot Memory is working at CAS 5 ratio 2:3 2,2V and 1000 MHz.
Should I carry on my "quest" to CAS 4 or are these settings good enough? I'm quite lost.....What should I have to do?
Does Patriot Memory owners experienced the same issue? Why can't they be set to CAS 4?
One more thing: After the Post, the Marvell Bios loads but find no hard disk on adapter 1. With Bios 1.1, there was no problem. Do you have any explanations?
Thanks

Hello Spikape,
please list full system specs and provide more information about the specific model/type of Patriot Memory you are using.

Can you try to be more specific about this? Was it an on-->off-->on-->boot cycle or did your system reboot multiple times?

I have a big problem overcloking my memorii over 1150 mhz . I need to set manualy tRD (Read Delay) some call it Transaction booster, some performance level.
The bios dosn't have this option !!!
I want to set manualy all this options :
tRFC , tRD , Write to precharge delay , Write to read delay (tWTR ) , tRRD , tRD_WR , tRTP , tREF . CR
Some of this setings are not in bios. What bios should i use ? or what can i do to have acces to manualy configure this ???

Hello,
note that the P35 Chipset natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 memory modules. From the point of view of the memory controller, DDR2-1066 is already overclocking.

One reason for inventing DDR3-RAM was to be able to reach higher frequencies. So you may have reached the limits here.

50 euros more is nothing compared to the performance difference between the two vga's

MOVED: P35 Platinum and Q9550 OC

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=140837.0

Ah OK took me a while but last night finally looked at OCing the Q9550 with my P35 Platinum.
Not spent lots of time on it so far but a couple of questions if I may?
It was not happy having the cpu volts on auto when trying 3.4GHZ so have been gradually increasing the FSB and vcore manually.
My cpu has a VID of 1.1 volts.
When I manually increase the voltage in the bios it suggests anything highlighted in red might cause instability, and 1.1875 is the first increment that is highlighted in red.
1. This seems a little low to me for a warning, is this MSI being cautious as the Q9550 can go higher than that? (temperatures were in the high 50s during prime95)
At this voltage I have reached 3.3 GHZ so far but will increase as long as its safe to raise the voltage?
I would like to hit a stable 3.4GHZ as Bernhard reached happily so that my ram is running at the correct speed (800) with the divider set at 1:1. (its about 777 at the moment).
2. How would I know if any instabilities were due to the vcore being too low or if the NB volts needed tweaking?
Any pointers would be appreciated as I'm quite inexperienced at this.
Thanks

Dual Core Center- MSI P6N SLI Platinum and MSI 8800 GTS 640

I have both the MSI 650i MOBO and the MSI 8800 GTS vidcard. When using an Asus P5B Dlx MOBO and this vidcard, Dual Core Center was installed and displayed the information for the videocard and allowed a mild OC. Now with both MSI products in the case, Dual Core Center only displays the information on the MOBO-- no 8800 GTS information. The tab at the top for the VGA does not bring up anything. ??? I have tried installing the version on each one of the disks that came with each piece of equipment again and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it doesn't work. I downloaded the most recent version of the utility from the MSI site and still get only the MOBO information. How do I get the display for the video card.
Or since the MSI utilities typically are listed on the forums as not being the greatest, what else can I/should I be using instead?
{I'll put this in the graphics forum too as it hits both areas...}

Running a P6N SLI Platinum and a MSI 7900GTO with Dualcorecenter 2004 and everything is ok.
Never installed any driver from the MSI CD which comes with the board or graphics card. All drivers are downloaded
from Nvidia.
Maybe the 8800 series is not supported yet.

P35 Platinum and 1066mhz Ram OC

Hi there I just bought 4 x 1GB DDR2 1066mhz just would like to know how to set it to run at that speed can anybody help me out im looking for the easyiest way
Specs:
MSI P35 Platinum bios v1.8
MSI 8800GT 512mb OC
Intel Q9300
4GB 1066mhz Ram DDR2
Zalman 750watt PSU

you have to change the FSR: DRAM Ratio.... Your quad has 333mhz of FSB (if you didn't OC), so... you have to choose between 1:1.5 -> to push the mems to DDR 1000mhz (333 x 1.5 = 500mhz) or 1:1.66 to obtain DDR 1100mhz (333 x 1.66 = 550mhz)...
EDIT: see the especifications of your mems, surely they need 2.1v at least to go at 1000 or 1100mhz

P35 Platinum and Realtek hd noise sound

I experience this hiss and crackle noise in the sound on my system and I dont know what causes this.
P35 platinum
q6600 processor
4GB ram (2 working ram sticks in right mem slots)
Latest Realtek hd driver installed afaik
Vista 64bit
I want to ask, could this be some IRQ issue? If so, feel free to teach me how to manage this, as this is beyond me.

Ah, apparantly the noise go away if I switch from front end jacks to rear end jacks on my computer cabinet. I'll just see if I can figure this out on my own then.

My problem is that i dont really know if those DDR2 memorys (OCZ PC2-9200 1150Mhz / 2x1Gb) can be used on p45Platinum motherboard.
The thing is i already bougth them....
I tried to make them work but i culdnt, my best gues is (as long as the mother supports them) to flash the bios becouse i noticed that a lot of them have a improved memory compatibility.

shuld i give it a tray?
plz excuse my lame english....

I tryed them, it took a while for the pc to go functionaly on windows and when it did, i had a some lame latencys....
After rebooting, the pc wont start... i had leds indicating "broken memory or not properly installed". y used the jumper of the motherboard and the old memory.
What do i have to do to unlock the voltage item in the Cell menu? i still have it in dark-grey...

P35 Platinum and Thermalright 120 Extreme Not Exactly

I am pretty biased when it comes to air cooling, so I ordered my Thermalright before I selected my motherboard. Both MSI and Thermalright says they should work together. I would give it a . I finished my build last night and went through a few head scratches before I gave up and went with a less than optimal resolution.
I installed the cooler with the fan pointed to the rear to create airflow from the front fans out through the back fans. The problem I had is one of the fan clips (the one aspect I don't like about Thermalright coolers) is wedged up against one of the round heatpipes. I could have zip tied the fan on that side, but that wasn't going to be easy either. I could have rotated the cooler and had the fan pointed up or down (I have a top fan that blows out), but it doesn't draw as much as the two back fans. I am hoping and believing that the side pressure that the clip exerts on the cooler or the NB circupipe will not impact the cooling of either the CPU or chipsets. The heatpipe is solid, the CPU cooler is screwed down (although it can rotate).

Glue a penny onto the bottom of the mounting retention clip. Google Ultra-120 penny mod for more details.
As for rotating the cooler, remember, heat rises, not goes sideways.
