P35 Platinum Bios 1.1 and Quad 6700

Will the older Bios ver 1.1 support a Q6700 processor? Is anyone actually running a quad core with this bios? I am now running a 6850 and everything is running perfect with the 1.1 bios, overclocked to 3.45Gig.

Remove any overclocking before flashing! Also, use the USB flashing tool developed here at the Global Forums for the safest method.

P35 Platinum + BIOS issue?

Hi,
Today I updated the BIOS for my P35 to 1.3 through Windows. Everything seemed to go OK but as the system rebooted it never came back to life. The D-LEDs indicate "Memory DecetionFail" however the system was working just fine before the flash.
The ram i'm using is "Corsair XMS2 6400C4".
Rest of the system is:
-P35 Platinum
-E6750
-Above mentioned ram in 2 x 1GB
-GF 7900GT
-Creative X-Fi
-Antec NeoHE 550W
Any ideas? Try to find a floppy and reflash back to 1.1?

Try clearing cmos carefully (with power cord disconnected) as described in the manual. Then try it with battery removed and letting machine sit for at least 30 minutes before restoring jumper to original position, closing case and reconnecting powercord. Windows flashing can be quite risky as you just learned. If cmos clear does not work, you should reflash back to the last bios that worked (see other threads for right way to flash). Good luck
Thanks for the tip i tried to clear the CMOS right away but it didn't do anything...i've since read that there are some issues with the 1.3 bios and CL4 ram and i'm going to get some ordinary CL5 DDR2-667 ram tomorrow and will try to boot to see if that does it..
The reason i did the Windows update thing is that i have no floppy so will have to get me one of those as well tomorrow to make sure that I can reflash to 1.1 if indeed the BIOS is corrupt due to the Windows update.

Msi P35 platinum: bios auto-raises NB & SB voltages when fsb over 316

Why does this happen when I'm overclocking FSB in bios and reaching over 316, NB voltage goes 1.250V->1.450V and SB I/O Power 1.5V->1.8V automatically. Both are in red text after this.
Of course, I can try to lower these settings back to normal but never tried.. I've just left these raised voltage settings because everything is running fine (now E2140@2816MHz,352FSB). But are these settings safe (NB 1,45V and SB I/O 1,8V) ??
I know that raising NB voltage is necessary when raising up FSB but SB I/O Power voltage?
Should I try lower these voltages and see if my computer is still stable?
I have bios v1.6, mobo msi p35 platinum rev1.1...
Please help me

this is probably due to overclock jumper's setting for FSB STRAP(200/266/333).
With my Neo 2 Fr (pretty similar) about the same happen to me but at 382...then I moved the jumper to the 333 setting (see manual) and no more change in voltage of NB and SB over 382.
If you do so, be careful on your setting before the change of position of the jumper as it automaticaly add 67 mhz to the FSB and so the system may not start because of too high cpu freq. Be careful also on memory multiplier (before the change set it to 1:1 or calculate the ram freq. (FSB+67 mhz and your memory multiplier)) as the system may not start because of the RAM.
However even if it not start after 2-3 reboot it start in safe mode(as after OC) and you can change the settings.
My advice:I think your cpu fsb by default is 200, if so and if you don't plan to go over 382 set the jumper to 266 (you should be ok with voltages until 382mhz of FSB.
Always remember what said over about the +67 mhz on FSB when you move the jumper!!!!

P35 Platinum bios ver 1.5

Hi !
I have updated my bios to 1.5 from 1.0 and the reason for doing this is i had alot of problems with my raid 0 setup.
Now to the problem I am able to boot my pc and get into the bios i even get windows up and running, but my pc hangs for about 3 mins trying to interlize the marvell controller.
Can anyone give me a sugguestion on how to fix this problem.

P35 platinum bios memory timings

hi
i have a question about the memory timings in the BIOS in the P35 Platinum
once you changed the value to manual
all the settings become available to change
i'm only interested in the first four setting i.e. cas trc trp tras
i dont know and dont care about the other settings
but their is no way to turn them on auto
should i assume that the initial settings they have are taken from the SPD and are therefore safe

Quote from: hapi.djus on 22-September-07, 03:32:09
Is the TRC the same as the TRFC?
not is not the same i'm also looking for the trc option but i couldn't fin it nether
-Row Cycle Time (tRC).
Determines the minimum number of clock cycles a memory row takes to
complete a full cycle, from row activation up to the precharging of
the active row. For optimal performance, use the lowest value you can,
according to the tRC = tRAS + tRP formula. For example:
if your memory module's tRAS is 7 clock cycles and its tRP is 4 clock cycles,
then the row cycle time or tRC should be 11 clock cycles.
-Refresh to Activate Delay / Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC).
Determines the number of clock measured from a Refresh command (REF)
until the first Activate command (ACT) to the same rank
if you want all the definitions view this page http://www.tweakers.fr/timings.html
my memories work at 5-5-5-10-38-6-3-3-3 @866MHz waiting for my others ballistix to lower more the timings

P35 Platinum - BIOS 1.C

Anyone had/seen complaints about not being able to install their OS with BIOS 1.C on a P35 Platinum?
I've verified it's not the optical media, multiple versions/discs of Windows fail.
I've verified it's not the optical drive, internal and USB drive fail.
I want to use AHCI, but have also tried IDE, both SATA control methods fail.
Error messages are erratic. They happen at different times during the installation. The messages themselves are always different. Sometimes a blue screen, sometimes one or more error popups from the install utility, sometimes it just freezes.

I drive a Buick.
Any ideas appreciated.

Ugh , I forgot to increase the voltage to RAM after updating to BIOS 1.C. Apparently even at relaxed/spec clock speed and timings, it will not run at 1.8v. I increased the voltage to 2.2 and everything was back to normal. I should have deducted from the erratic errors that the RAM was the fault. Such an angry, yet relieved feeling once it finally hit me.
Thanks for the help.

P35 Platinum bios upgrade

Hi there
Did anyone here get an error message saying "Invalid checksum" when upgrading to MSI's latest bios(1.6) for the P35 Platinum. I done the flash thru liveupdate and restarted my PC and it showed me that message then just rebooted again and into windows. Also ive never ran DualCore centre before, i installed it after i flashed the bios and it just gives me error message and doesnt run.
Man i should have stuck with GigaByte

Got exactly the same message after upgrading to 1.6 from 1.4 that came with the board.
Unfortunately I'm not even able to boot up to Windows now !
I've switched it off and given up for the night, will try again tomorrow.....

P35 Platinum Problems loading 2003 and/or Vista

This is a new setup. Having issues installing an Operating system
P35 2.4Ghz QUAD Core Intel CPU 4GB Ram MSI 8800gts Video, SATA HD, 700Watt PS, BIOS 1.4
I loaded XP Pro , a few minor issues but seems OK, but decided to install VISTA (also tried 2003 server)
2003 Blue screens during the install , and Vista just wont install.
Its frustrating , as I usually dont have any issues loading OS's onto PC's
Is anyone else running a QUAD Core CPU ?
Anyone else running 2003 server ?
I am after some suggestions to try. Please Help

A little more information :
The ram is Patriot PC2-6200-CL5 PDS22G800KH
The Blue screen is 0X0000007E which possibly relates to ram error
(although this is not very conclusive)
I tried just 1 stick of ram, (instead of 2) and still cant load the OS.
Any more ideas ?
Thanks

SOME CRITICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT BIOS SETTINGS:
1 - Advanced BIOS features -> MPS Table Version [1.1 or 1.4]
I read that this parameter depends on the SO type.
I would like to install Windows XP64 bit. What's the right setting?
2 - PnP/PCI Configurations -> PCI Latency Timer [32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 248] where higher is better
I use PCI-E device (PNY Quadro Fx570). Are these parameters valid also for PCI-E?
3 - CELL menu -> Advance DRAM Configuration
I would like to manually set up the CAS etc.. parameters to the Patriot recommended values: 5-5-5-12 at 2.0V
These are the first 4 parameters...and the others??? Patriot don't specify anything else...
And how can I set up the voltage of memory? Under "Memory Voltage" there's "AUTO" set up, and there's no way to change it...if I set up custom memory parameters (CAS, ...) is the DRAM voltage auto adjusted by the motherboard (i.e. 2 VOLT) ?
4- CELL menu -> Adjust PCIE Frequency [between 100 and 200 MHz]
These are my GPU specifications:
PNY Quadro Fx570
core clock: 460 MHz
memory clock: 400 (800) MHz
Memory type: DDR2 SDRAM
RAMDAC: Dual 400 MHz
So....wath's the correct value for the PCIE Frequency????
THANX A LOT.

Just change the first 4 to show 5-5-5-15, the rest are best left alone for stability issues.

P965 Platinum bios v1.4 and E6700 question

Hi guys.
All you expert. Tell me one thing if enybody know this.
Is FSB 335 = 3.3Ghz ok with a E6700 CPU ? Shoulden it be posible to get much higher with this CPU.
I even have really good Cellshock DDR2800 2.2v 4-4-4-12 ram.
I left the ram timming to 5-5-5-12 becaurse of the platinum board (bios) bug with 4-4-4-12.
But i cant raise the FSB much more than 335-338FSB !
I do have a Zalman 9700Led on it.
If i remember right, someone had around 400FSB with this combination of hardware i have.
Please, advises would be awsome. Would love to get more info about this.
btw, my CPU voltage is around default P965 platinum settings. Is that why ? should i raise the CPU voltage with a E6700 ?
Thx so far everybody

Hi. alright. Did'nt know that E6600 could be better than E6700 for OC.
Anyway. My system is not unstable. Infact it is rock solid almost what ever i do accept to high FSB.
Thats why i was awsking all those ram (mem) questions. timing etc. What the best settings was for my system.
In my first post is some questions about ram and timming.
My system is infact really nice because it either runs solid or it dosent run at all..
To high FSB and the computer want boot to windows. So right now 333FSB and under sruns smooth.
The thing was. With system running smooth at 333FSB, i wanted to know what the best ram settings
was after finding my good FSB settings.
I tryed manuel ram timing both 5-5-5-12 2T and 3-4-4-12 2T and 5-5-5-18 2T all running good but have no
idea what the best settings is. And oh, set to auto ram in the cell menu.
The reason why it was 3-4-4-12 and not 4-4-4-12 is becaurse the BIOS chances it by it self to 3-4-4-12. Bios bug.

Any one ever posted on p35 platinum bios 1.3 with 1066 ram?

just wondering cause im outta options here.

i'm was testing P35 Neo2-FIR (nearly like Platinum) with 1066 memory (A-DATA, Kingston etc.) and it was w/o problems
well relatively because i needed to setup manually CAS etc. values (SPD autodetect seems to always set wrong CAS (6) etc))
with 1.4 it seems be bit better in autodetect area too

P35 platinum bios beeps

odd one this as from new i had no bios beeps at all from bios 1.1 to 1.5 now updated to 1.6 i suddenly get 1 beep then pause then beep beep and all boots up with no red lights at all system runs fine ..only other thing ive change is my psu from a bog standard 550w to a hiper type r 580w with 2 12v rails outputs.....anybody had this problem

ok will try and clear cmos ,,but i removed all usb items from mobo (mouse etc) and still got the beeps weird things once xp or vista gets going i cant find any problems all 4 green leds on mbob and windows does not show any problems in device manager
,one other odd ball is that i have 2 256mb usb mem sticks and 1-1gig and 1-4 gig and i created a usb boot disk on 1 usb 256 and also on the 1 meg but i can only get the mobo to boot off the 256 it simply ignores the one meg and just loads xp or vista (pending on which ive booted from 2 seperate hdds) ???

P35 platinum bios update query

just updated bios from 1.1 to 1.4 and now lan stays active when pc is shutdown...now under 1.1 the lans only became active once windows was up an running and all lights on router went out on shutdown has anyone else seen this behviour.alos this updated bios removes some of the options is there an f key ican press to get to a advanced bios state

There are a few reasons I guess. One of the key is the Wake on LAN. Trying turning this option off in bios to see if your lan light go off on shutdown. But this is very common in most PCs. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

P45 Platinum Bios 1.5 and E8400@4000 on [Auto] Voltage

I'm currently running the E8400 at 4GHz using the following voltage settings:

[Auto]
CPU GTL REF0
[Auto]
CPU GTL REF1
[Auto]
DRAM Voltage
2.196V

Is this normal, or am I just being lucky (I mean, not having to play with Vcore)?
When the CPU is IDLE, Vcore (according to CPU-Z) is 1.320V.
When at 100%, the voltage drops to 1.288V.
Is this normal behavior?
TIA for any enlightening answers.

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
