P35 Platinum FSB jumpers

It seems that the default position of these jumpers is 200 MHz (x4). Why is this so? If this is a 1333 MHz board shouldn't the jumpers default be at 333 MHz (x4) position? I find this strange.
Is it okay to switch to 333 MHz (x4) position with a 1066 MHz processor?

Alright, so what I think you're saying is that the Northbridge has a set operating speed (in your example 1GHz), and that speed never changes regardless of what you do to the FSB. So, the operating speed is already maxed out, but the ratios that multiply to that operating speed are variable (200x5=1000, or 333x3=1000. You can't make the Northbridge run faster, but you can tell it to run at tighter timings (thereby requiring a higher multiplier) by using the jumper settings. Is that correct?
You CAN make the northbridge run faster. Say you run it at 800 strap and FSB is 200Mhz then NB is running it's stock settings. If you increase FSB speed NB speed will rise aswell, until you reach 266Mhz - If you change to the 1066 strap at 266Mhz the NB will once again be running it's nominal speed but if you remain on the 800 strap you will be pushing it even further and thereby increase performance.
This is why asus's P965 boards overclocked so well and MSI's didn't. Asus changed the strap at certain FSB speeds and MSI's didnt. Somewhere at 400Mhz FSB, where the chipset was reaching it's maximum for the 1066 strap (with a 1066 core2) the board changed it's strap to 1333 (beeing fooled by the bios) and thus releaving the stress from the NB and it could again clock higher.

  • 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!!!!

    No actually that was going to be my next step but haven't gotten around to it yet, what kind of max fsb should I expect out of this MB.  I have water cooling on everything so heat should not be much of a issue. 
    I've seen 600 and above, somethink else than board is holding you back{Could be CPU limit too..}

  • Settings (kindly) requested for MSI P35 Platinum & Q6600 @ 3.6GHz/1600MHz fsb

    I want to try to get my Q6600 processor up from 3.0 to 3.6 GHz, though I'd appreciate to get a clue to what settings might be the goal. I have little experience with overclocking, but I think 3.6GHz is a realistic goal.
    Msi P35 Platinum revision 1.2, bios 1.4
    Q6600, been running at 3.0GHz the last 6 months by simlply upping the FSB
    4x 2GB ddr2 800MHz Mushkin value ram
    Initial settings:
    I can get it boot up at 3.6GHz/1600MHz fsb, by upping cpu volt and others but it fails the Prime95 stress test immediately.
    multiplier x9
    memory auto
    cpu V = 1.375 (too low perhaps?) (default=1.275)
    NB V = 1.425 (default=1.250)
    SB io V= 1.7 (default=1.5)
    SB V= 1.05 (default=1.05)
    Before trying to tweak incrementally I hehe would like to try some tested values to start from, and hope I get lucky and can go on from there.

    Being somewhat in a hurry, and being a newb, I tried getting the Q6600 to work at 3.6Ghz (400/1600MHz fsb, mult x9), but I couldnt make it stable with Prime95.
    Lowering it down to 3.4Ghz seem to be really ok, and it has been stable for some time in Vista x64. Seems i can stick with this and mabye try to tweak it a little later.
    I still would like to hear from anyone running the MSI P35 Platinum with Q6600 at 3.6 with air cooling, and learn about their voltages.
    Msi P35 Platinum, rev 1.2, bios 1.4

    Cpu v = 1.375
    Mem v = 1.8

    NB = 1.375

    I guess I should lower the cpu voltage to try lower the temperature if this thing stays stable the next 12 hours.

  • Problem OC P35 Platinum + 8GB of CL4 memory with Q6600

    Hi all!
    I just lost that 1000 words post from power outage, so bear with me if I'm more direct to the point.
    System:
    P35 Platinum BIOS 1.9B1  (Vcore:1.375V, VTT: 1.30V, NB:1.550V, SB: 1.8V) 417MHz FSB x 8 = 3336MHz
    Q6600 G0 2.4GHz @ 3.336GHz (42*C idle 68*C load)
    OCZ Memory (OCZ2RPR800C44GK x 2 : AKA CL4 HPC Reapers) PC2-6400 @ 800MHz (4-4-4-15) OC @ 960MHz (5-5-5-18) VDimm: 2.2V
    Geforce 8800GT 512 MB DDR3 (680MHz/1800MHz/1050MHz)
    OS: Vista Ultimate x64
    I try to push those memory sticks to 1000MHz.  To do this, 2 ways I know: up FSB to 500MHz with 1:1 ratio  or change ratio to 5:6 + up FSB to 417MHz.  I tried both and here are the results:
    Test the CPU OC = FSB: 417MHz x 8 = 3336MHz & RAM 834MHz (1:1) = 24 hours prime95 stable (small FFT)
    Test the memory = FSB: 417MHz x 7 = 2919MHz & RAM 1000MHz ratio 1:1.2 = 24 hours memtest86+ v2.01 AND 24 hours prime95 stable (blend test)
    Test them together = FSB: 417MHz x 8 = 3336MHz & RAM 1000MHz ratio 1:1.2 = memtest86+ stable (20 hours) but not prime95 stable.  At those settings, SuperPI 32M would finish only 50% of the time (not exact in round)
    I tried upping NB to 1.6V (Afraid to fry it), tried upping VTT FSB (What does that do...) to 1.4V-1.45V : no luck.
    I know that below 1.55V my 8GB setup is unstable (crashed prime blend test at 18 hours...)
    The other option is now trying with higher FSB. All those tests were done with 1.9B1 BIOS.  At 500MHz FSB, the board wouldn't even POST.  I then flashed the BIOS to 1.9B2 with success! I can now POST and boot with 500MHz FSB! I cannot load windows though which leaves me short of my goal. I tried some more conservative speed (470MHz FSB) and succeeded in loading Vista. Had a hard time thought, at that FSB speed, Vista was crawling and CPU and memory benches in Everest were about 50% lower than last stable benches.  Something was wrong.
    I was then wondering ways to boot Vista with 500MHz stable or make my two stable overclocks work together...
    I read a post from someone stating that MSI told him to use performance BIOS P09 because OCing 8GB was easier with that BIOS.  I did so.  I could not boot in Vista (without OC, at default settings) because of nvidia driver (was able to boot in safe mode).  I also read in that thread that BIOS P09 had problems with G92 videocards...  I wish I could read German (or danish, not sure) because (save the thread I mentioned) the only forums talking about performance BIOS are German MSI forums...
    I also read that BIOS after 1.3 are not good for OCing because of bad voltage regulation.  I would flash back to 1.3
    but the Q6600 Kentsfield is not supported before 1.6.
    So I'm asking help at the same time from this board and User mod BIOS, was not sure to which board my thread would belong.
    Thank you for you suggestions and/or advices concerning performance BIOS.
    Jerome
    P.S. Oh yeah! I also set my hardware OC settings jumpers to 333MHz which supposedly increase FSB stability... phew... I thought I would be direct to the point....

    oops, u should have bought better memory, teach u for messing with manufacturers specs. No sympathy here
    Well, it seems that the CS4 settings where exactly the rated speed for the GEIL Ultra Dual Channel modules, it's just that the (100% safe) pre-programmed SPD speeds are slower than the official rated timings. GEIL tells about that with all of their newer products, so timings I entered where not illegal for the modules.

  • P35 Platinum Problem

    Update:
    Have not got standard memory yet so tried other options...
    Replaced floppy drive with one that I verified was working, but no change so floppy drive is ok. Another possibility ruled out.
    Reseated memory, floppy cable, graphics card multiple times, no result.
    Changed FSB jumper to 333 setting, no result. Changes back to 200, result!!! Booted to bios config multiple times. Some times I got 4 red leds though, in which case the system stopped and rebooted. Then booted to bios again. I decided to try again to reflash the bios to 1.1 using ctrl-home keys. This time it worked. Verified bios is now v1.1.
    Started getting cmos errors though. The bios gave me the option to reset to default values, when booting. I did this, and rebooted. The system stopped working again then, showing two green lights, two red. :(
    I reset the FSB jumpers to 333, turn system on/off, switched back to 200. Again, I found I could now boot to bios again.
    This is as far as I have got. Havenot been able to boot to OS yet. Any advice appreciated.
    Starting to think this is not just a bios issue.... :(

    Gainward GeForce 8600GT 256MB GDDR3
    2 x Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 500GB

    Update:
    Before my last post, I had previously flashed the bios back to the original bios which originally worked for me (1.1, the version which came with the machine, got it from the web site), but I ended up with the same problems. Last thing I did that night, was flash the bios to 1.4b... bios, but seeming same problems reproduced.
    I was ready to return the motherboard on Saturday but curiosity got to me so I decided to follow Bosskillers advice and try out some other memory. Not that I doubted Bosskiller but this meant I had to bite the bullet and go buy some vanilla memory. Another 128 euros less in my pocket, after replacing my PSU also   
    Before installing the memory, i decided to try to again boot the PC (using bios 1.4b... beta) with the high perf memory. Didn't work the first couple of times, then it did! OS booted even, first time in a week. Occasionally  (30% of boots) I got the four red lights followed on the next boot by an error messages highlighted in red saying the previous overclocking settings prevented the machine from booting, did I want to keep current settings or reset them. In each case, I kept the setting and simply rebooted.
    I then noticed I had not switch the FSB jumper to the 266 setting.  Not sure if this matters, as I though bios automatically detects / sets the correct FSB setting in any case. This seemed to improve matters a little.
    I then changed the memory, and things improved further.  I am now able to boot most of the time, only seeing the 4 red lights when I cold boot the machine after it has not been used for a while (this happens 100% of the time). While running, it seems stable. If i do mess about a little, and constantly hit the reset or main power switch on/off every 10 secs, I will occasionally see the four red lights, or 1G1R2G so I avoid this 
    Will run the memtest tools you suggested. I am not convinced the high perf memory is bad yet. Will try out some more tests on it at a later date though. The cold boot issue sort of suggests a PSU issue to me but I am unsure. In any case, my Antec power PSU is not in yet  , but will install when I get it and hope it resolves the residual issues.
    Much appreciate all the help from folk, especially Bosskiller. It has been interesting, I have learned quite a bit I believe.

    Thanks in advance

    That is not necessarely the only correct answer.  Your CPU operates at 266 MHz FSB-frequency.  That means at least in theory 533 MHz modules should work if the BIOS is able to detect them and if it sets FSB/DRAM ratio to 1:1.
    However, try officially supported modules first.  If you have a spare 667 MHz standard RAM module or if you can borrow one, use those for testing.
    In a worst case scenario, your board came with BIOS v1.3, which seems to have major compatibility issues. With generic 667 Mhz RAM, it is in most cases possible to work around these problems. This may not be the case, I am just providing an alternative explanation to your problem.  Try with different RAM first.
    Also, the board has two jumpers that allow you to pre-set certain default FSB-clock speeds (200, 266 and 333 MHz).  Have a look at your mainboard manual to compare jumper settings.

     press any button to reset bios.( I have received this message before with the old cpu but with a restart the system went on as normal). After the system restart, it just sits on the splash screen. I never attempted
    to overclock the memory. the jb1 & jb2 jumpers are on 1 & 2 pins(same way it
    came from newegg). I tried to use different memory( in all of the slots) same outcome.
    I unplugged
    all other hardware except vid card> same outcome. I even used a different
    vid card> same outcome.
    system specs
    core 2 e8400
    msi p35 platnum
    2gb(2x1gb) adata ddr2 800
    any suggestions? I appreciate any help. I hope the board isn't   finished
    thanks in advance

    There are three possible solutions to solve the situation:
    1) Install a processor supported by the current BIOS Version to be able to properly turn on your system and then update the BIOS to the latest Version to be able to use your E8400/E0 (update should be done from DOS only).
    2) Ask in a local computer shop or contact your reseller to do the same thing for you.
    3) Connect an internal floppy drive and a PS/2 Keyboard and then try to force the system into AMI BIOS Recovery Mode.  Instructions:
    Quote
    Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A7345IMS.1xx to AMIBOOT.ROM
    Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
    When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
    Even though the AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure is the only chance you have to solve the situation without installing a different processor, it does not work in all cases.  However, as it is an easy procedure, it is at least worth a try.

  • Oc on p35 platinum. is this just about the way to do this?

    Crucial DDR2 PC6400 2GB CL6  x 3
    Corsair HX 850W PSU
    radeon hd 6870 xfx black edition
    p35 platinum. ms7345

    Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU
    hello
     i  have some questions about overclocking.  i have the e8500 pcu.i am verry happy with that one..
    i was you here that recomended it for me,so thanks for that.
    but now i would like to get a bit mroe out of it...
    i  have newer done this kind of job before so bear with mee..
    i have read a lot on the internet and have looked in the manual  for the motherboard.
    but i realy dont understand eny of it.. all the numbers and different things to change in bios. 
    so my reading up on it realy dindt work..
    so i ask you,how to go forward...
    thanks all good people. for eny replies.

    have now tryed it.
    here is my data
    adjusted cpu fsb frequency 432
    adjustet cpu frequency  4018
    fsb/memory ratio auto
    adjusted memory frequency 846
    cpu  v.  1,2750
    memory v. 1,90
    douse this seems okey?
    seems like it works good  this far
    one thing more!
    the cpu voltage that is in the pix is not right as it seems.
    as soon as i started turning the fsb frequency , the voltage vent back to defalt.. and i didnt do it..just did it it self.
    and the defalt vpu voltage was 1,0000.
    so i tryed that voltage before i did eny oc. and the computer locked good. would also say the heat of the cpu that way dropped some..
    could meybe the  man who had it befor me mess the voltage ?
    but now as i sead it looks good so far. with the oc data above.
    so what is next to realy get the compoter checked out?
    thanks

  • Is P35 Platinum Combo compatible with Windos 8?

    I never imagined when I bought Windows 8 that my pc might be too old but looking at the driver supprot page for my P35 Platinum Combo makes me think now that I should not be using Windows 8.  My pc has been having problems every since I installed Windows 8 on a new drive.   For a while it would often crash/auto restart.  Then things were ok for a while.  Now, in the past week, my pc is really slow.  Simple things like opening file explorer take a very long time.  Surprisingly, in safe mode my pc runs faster. 
    Video Driver is up to date and has been since I installed Win 8  (radeon 13.1)
    board drivers up to date
    malware/adware/virus scanned
    running with only an ssd drive.  80gb free space on a 160gb drive
    followed ssd drive tweaks such as indexing off, prefetching off, maintenance off, RAC off, etc...
    minimized virtual memory to better use my 8gb ram
    Just wondering what others think about running Windows 8 on this motherboard of mine.  My specs are:
    P35 Platinum Combo  (msi.com/product/mb/P35-Platinum-Combo.html)
    Intel E8400  (ark.intel.com/products/33910/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E8400-6M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB)
    Intel X25-M SATA Solid State Drive - 160 GB, 2.5 inches (ark.intel.com/products/56603/Intel-SSD-X25-M-Series-160GB-2_5in-SATA-3Gbs-50nm-MLC)
    Kingston 8gb DDR 2 800
    Saphire HD 7850
    P.s.
    Can't post complete links since this is my first post.

    USER-HOSTILE!  Hahaha!  Hilarious vid  I can sympathize with the author.  I'm a fairly seasoned user and while I did manage to figure out all the controls, after much googling, I still had to deal with all the crashing and slow downs.
    Well I decided not to waste any more time and reverted back to windows 7.  All is perfectly functional now and at a nice healthy speed.  I think my hardware was just too old for Windows 8 since my friends pc is running fine in Windows 8.  Granted...  He hates the interface and is now jealouse that I'm back to Windows 7, haha. 
    Now to create my next catastrophe!  Updating my bios.  lol.  I noticed that the most recent version will provide support for L2 cache which would be nice since it seems my proccessor has that ability.
    Thanx so much for your response Bernhard. 

  • MSI P35 Platinum keeps crashing

    Hello!
    I have the following setup:
    MSI P35 Platinum w/ 1.6 BIOS
    INTEL E6750
    CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 2x1GB DDR2 1066
    MSI 512MB HD2600XT
    PC Power and Cooling PSU 750W Single Rail
    WD 80GB SATA HDD w/ OS
    SEAGATE 320GB HDD for storage
    Since i built this system ive been having several stability issues.  Sometimes it will just completely freeze and video will go on standby.  Lately whenever i play WOW or COD4 it will just crash the game, the machine is fine but it will quit the game.  Ive tried MS memory test and also MEMTEST and both give me no error.  Checked HDD for error and there fine.  Latest GPU drivers off ATI website.  Also when  i run CPUZ latencies are wayyy higher than specs.  And if i run my mem at 800 it will work fine.  I know it may e some settings i have wrong, please help me.
    Regards,
    Leo Torres

    So ill just leave them at 800mhz.
    Should i just change the FSB Ratio to lower the RAM to 800MHZ?
    Leo,
    Use the BIOS default settings.
    Your DDR2 modules with 5-5-5-15 at 1.85-1.9V (the default DDR2 voltage on MSI mobos) are running at 800MHz.
    And that's because they're DDR2-800 ... 
    Do not mess up the FSB. INTEL E6750 is a great processor.
    You need stability, not troubles!

    i have the same problem, but with WINTEC AMPX 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) 5-5-5-15 v2.2
    The same situation: you bought a pair of factory-overclocked DDR2-800 memory modules.
    cheers

  • P35 Platinum rebooting problem

    Hello,
    I have just registered at MSI Forums, as i have quite strange problem with my PC and i need help :azn:
    My specs:
    Motherboard : MSI P35 Platinum, bios ver1.9
    CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 coolde with Thermalright Ultra 120a + Zalman 120mm fan
    Memory: Mushkin XP2-6400 2 GB CL4-4-3-10
    VGA : Inno3D 8800gts 512 with Accelero s2 rev2 + 2 Silverstone 90mm fans
    HDD : Seagate 160GB SATA
    Optical : Liteon DVDRW LDW-851S
    PSU : Tagan TG430-U22 (i am running it at 'combined rails' mode, which has 28A rating for the 12v rail-information from the sticker)
    I also have 3 120mm fans mounted in case
    I have Windows XP SP2 installed
    I took attempt to overclock my cpu and memory, and i managed to get 3.4ghz for cpu and 972mhz for memory (486FSB ; CPU Multipliter 7 ; RAM timings 5,5,5,15 ; RAM voltage 2,0v ; CPU voltage 1.4125v ; VTT FSB voltage AUTO ; NB voltage 1.45v ; SB I/O power 1.8v ; SB core power 1.15v), i am able to run Orthos Blend test (stressing cpu and memory) for about 8 hours (so it's pretty stable I think)
    So, let's get to the point:
    I am able to run my PC flawlessly all day long, but when i try to turn it on next day, it keeps rebooting itself for few minutes (it turns for about 10 seconds but the screen stays black, then it turns off and turns on again.....LEDS keep showing red/red/green/red indicating memory problem) and finally boots with 'overclocking failed' information.............i get to the bios, change ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, save settings (or not save..it doesn't matter at all) and then it boots and loads Windows no problem.......... what the heck is wrong?? Is it memory problem? Or maybe PSU? (I was using it in my previous PC)
    Any suggestions ?  :azn:
    Thanks in advance

    Avoid that one, instead go for:

    I would recommend the Corsair VX550 or TX650.
    or 750TX

  • Cannot get out of standby - P35 Platinum

    Hello everyone,
    I recently build myself a new rig, featuring a nice and shiny new P35 Platinum board. Here are the system specs:
    MSI P35 Platinum - BIOS version 1.4
    OCZ GameXStream SLI/Active 600W
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz overclocked to 2.88 (FSB 320)
    2x 1GB 1066Mhz PC-8500 Kingston HyperX RAM (5-5-5-15) no overclock there
    2x Seagate Barracuda 320GB in RAID 0
    Sapphire Radeon HD2900XT, 512M etc etc
    Some IDE NEC DVD+/-RW Drive
    Here comes the problem. I put my system on standby, and down it went. I restarted it once, booted into Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit without a problem. Then I turned it off again and went away for a few hours. I came back, started the machine and... nothing. At least not on the screen: it tells me that it's not receiving a signal. All the fans are spinning, and I hear a normal, single post beeb. I opened the case, and saw led3 was constantly shining. I don't know if this was the case before the problem turned up, I never bothered to look at it. The status leds on the board have shown me varying stuff, I got all greens once, and I believe it booted to windows on that occasion. I also got it green-red-red-green once, but that pattern didn't come back. I tried to clear cmos with the button, system powered down etc etc (which didn't help), and now I'm getting green-green-red-green (searching for a floppy drive), and it's not booting to windows anymore. Which seems logical after clearing cmos, because in standard bios settings, the Intel RAID controller is disabled, so it can't find Windows anymore And now the big question... how on earth can I reset the board so that it doesn't think its standby anymore, without any display support? It seems unlikely there's a defect in the graphics card or the psu doesn't supply enough juice; the rig ran just fine the other day (also on heavy gaming/video processing).
    Please help me out, o great MSI forum experts 
    Juul

    It's really strange. On one hand, the status leds indicate the system boots normally, it even booted into Vista once (heard the vista starting sound), but on the other hand, there's NOTHING on the display. Everything seems to work just fine, except for the fact that I'm not seeing anything before the problem arose, I booted several times with the memory installed. I experienced absolutely no problems at all. I also tried to boot with only one stick, didn't solve the problem. But I will try it with a 6400 stick. I just wish I'd never ever put the stupid thing on standby. I'm thinking of an S1 / S3 problem myself. Is it possible the videocard still thinks the entire system is on S3 standby and therefore refuses to output anything to the screen? I didn't adjust any of the settings in the power management section of the bios when I still had visual access to it, by the way.
