[P43 Neo-F] No Pci-e Frequency option in BIOS??

Hi..
I am using a MSI P43 Neo F Board(MS-7519).
Now I am facing the FSB Wall problem of this board and the only solution I have found is to increase Pci-e frequency to 104 as suggested by the main topic about this problem on this forum. But the problem is that there is no pci-e frequency option in my bios. Bios is latest as confirmed by live update software but there is no such option.
Can anyone help me on that?why is that I have the same model but not the same options??

You have not used P43 Neo F I suppose, that mobo does not go above 400 or 415 fsb, search the internet, its a common problem, and the only solution is the one i posted. But why is that the bios of my mobo does not have this option??
Its most likely because the parts are not the same and even if they were they wouldn't work the same.
Like he mentioned already, it works for some and not for others. Its a fickle thing, it isn't a matter of "oh hes better so it works" its more like "his CPU's die isn't as f-ed up as yours is". Something along those lines.

*Solved* MSI P43 Neo-F DPC Latency Issue - Latest BIOS Fix

Hi, I'd like to avail of the latest BIOS fix for the DPC latency problem on my MSI P43 Neo-F (MS-7519) 1.0.
I'm currently using BIOS 1.9, I haven't flashed to 1.A yet. Does 1.A include a fix or is there another BIOS that's as up-to-date as 1.9 or 1.A that would have the fix, with any links to download? I'm thinking along the lines of the A7519ICI.1xx series, whatever is the latest.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have contacted MSI at http://ocss.msi.com.tw/
I don't suppose there is any links to the latest A7519ICI.1xx BIOS that I can avail of outside of the private MSI FTP server?

Thanks all for the advice.
OK, so here's the story. I couldn't relax with those voltages showing up as they were, so I flashed my BIOS to A7519IMS.1A0 (1.A), which is the latest public release for the P43 Neo-F. I was previously on A7519IMS.190 (1.9) before today.
When I flashed to A7519ICI.104, I noticed the version number was actually 1.10B4 (which I'm guessing can actually be expressed as 1.AB4 - a beta version for the latest public release, 1.A). The flash to A7519ICI.104 solved the DPC Latency issue, as when I used A7519IMS.190 (1.9) it was spiking.
There is a happy ending. The flash to A7519IMS.1A0 (1.A) has also shown no spikes in the DPC Latency test. It seems the fix must be present in the latest public release BIOS for the P43 Neo-F after-all!
This screen-shot was taken just a moment ago, proof that the issue has been resolved without a modified BIOS:
Hope this helps anyone else out who is using the same motherboard and experiencing the same issues. Just get the latest public BIOS. No hassle!

Please make sure that your motherboard is in-fact the MSI P43 Neo-F (MS-7519) before you flash the BIOS with any of the ones contained within the link above

P43 neo-f fsb wall at 417 with e8200

with the p43 neo which i believe there identical too p43 neo 3 apart from cooling on motherboard and bios versions(layout same ,features same,chipset same) ,anyway I will hit a 417/418 fsb and will become totally unstable and freeze on me(while using dual core centre) or if using bios overclocking will reboot until it goes back to defaults, have also tried everything voltage wise, have dropped multipliers and it is definitely a motherboard fsb wall issue.
even tried putting a fan over northbridge to cool as seems to run very hot(is now just warm too touch so ok),but makes no difference to overclocking and is annoying hell outta me, as i bought an e8200 to specifically overclock and best i can get stable is 3300
an overview of my specs
coolermaster igreen 600w
msi p43 neo-f (latest official bios)
dual core E8200
xigmatek s1284 with arctic silver
A-data 800mhz ram 8gb (I have pretested in anouther machine upto 900mhz at 1.8v)
nvidia 512mb 8800gt
Asus xonar dx soundcard
samsung f1 1gb
seagate 500gb hard drive
Things I have tested
with only 2/4gb of ram
all conceivable variations of mch,vfsb,ich mem voltage etc (have not messed with clock drive and skew etc as i am not aware how they effect things)
dropping cpu multi to 7, then raising to fsb of 417 again results in restarting until defaults etc meaning board is hampering overclocking.
upping voltage to cpu-this results in absolutely no better overclocking as it is mobo stopping higher clocks.
Bug I noticed- sometimes on booting into windows after a few minutes with an overclock through bios the mch would show the mch as 2.57v in the dual core centre(i reset to defaults in dual core centre whenever it happens) dont know if this is a bug with bios or dual centre the mch in bios I have set it to is 1.35v, id imagine if it was actually at this voltage it would crash out and fry wouldnt it? but dosent seem to affect anything.
dual core centre often also shows a 1.9 voltage on my memory when it is set to 1.8 in bios, i again reset to defaults in dual core centre and appears to reduce voltage.

As I already told you elsewhere, these boards are not identical. They are similar as they use the same chipset, but they are not identical.
Quote
while using dual core centre
Don't use Dual Core Center if you are looking for a stable overclock.

Which settings have you used. Please write down ALL Cell Menu settings you used for the highes stable overclock you were able to achieve so far.

That does not mean much. Different board, different chipset/memory controller, different BIOS usually mean different overclocking behaviour. As soon as you go beyond 400 MHz FSB-Clock Speed you are overclocking your 8GB of DDR2-800 memory which is likely to be a cause of instability. Have you raised the memory voltage at any point above 1.8V?

Uninstall Dual Core Center, it is not the best tool every conceived by men.
Further Questions:
1) Have you disabled DOT in BIOS?
2) Have you disabled EIST in BIOS?
3) Have you disabled C1E Support in BIOS?
4) Have you disabled Spread Spectrum im BIOS?

How do i set the PCI-E Frequency on P45 Neo-F?

Hey guys, i'm been overclocking my system the last couple of weeks and i am getting instability with my graphics card.. i have a Core 2 Quad Q8400 processor, i read a tutorial that said to set the PCI-E Frequency manually to 100Mhz, but i can't find PCI-E Frequency anywhere in the BIOS set up of the P45 Neo-F board.
Could someone please direct me to where i might find it?
Thanks

Why no PCI-E overvolt option in P35 NEO-2 FR??

I posed this question once before. I was told that AGP could do it but PCI-E can't. That's just not true. I built two Gigabyte motherboards (P35/965 chipsets) with PCI-E overclocking options. The P35 overvolts up to .3+ while the GA965 board does .1 overvolt
My 8800gt has a Zalman cooler that's like a refridgerator, it can handle more voltage. What if bios 1.8 is undervolting the graphics card just like the processor?
1.4v on the processor is really like 1.365v
This option should be addressed and added on this outstanding motherbaord. I have two NEO-2 FR's

If you go into the bios, you can set the PCI-Express for overclocking via the Dynamic Over-clocking Technology. It's at the top.
It is there, may not be manual option to increase voltage.....
It is there, you have to have basic reading skills though, to find it
If you still stuck where feature is, let me know via this thread and I will post a picture to help you.
Edit
Opps, no The P35 Neo2 FR is mainstream mainboard, which has a certain amount of overclocking ability. (Platinum and Diamond range are performance mainboards)

P43 Neo-f: Bios has no option to enable AHCI

Hi!
I just bought a P43 Neo-f and wondered whether there is any way to turn on AHCI with it. In the BIOS section "On-Chip ATA Devices" there is an option "Raid Mode" which, according to the manual, can be set to AHCI. But instead of giving me this option I cannot choose anything but "IDE" here. Is this true for everybody with this mainboard or is mine defective?
Is there any other way to turn AHCI on?
I want to try this as my SATA HDD and DVD-burner are not recognised as existing at all in Ubuntu 8.04 and I read that AHCI sometimes helps with SATA drives in Linux. Other approaches would be appreciated as well.

At first I want to thank you for your answers!
@AaronYuri: I tried that already and it does not work... actually I think this just cycles through the different entries otherwise available as that selection pulldown menu when pressing the Return key. And as there is no such entry it does not work with +/- either.
@Jack the Newbie: hmm... this is odd... maybe Intel forgot to add it to that website as
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1484&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170
clearly states:
• Intel® ICH10 Chipset
- Integrated AHCI controller.
or do I get something wrong there?
And finally some googled sources (of which I do not know the credibility) also say ICH10 has AHCI, e.g.
http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-3747-view-Intel-ICH10.html
So I am not sure... I am writing to MSI Online Customer Support to find that out now!

Need help guide overclocking newbie msi p43 neo

Hello i just wanted to ask for guide help tutorial ( no OC experience) on how to do a mild overclock my cpu e7400 + (msi p43 neo) my main goal is 3.0 Ghz with a 1333 fsb. Im still researching guides but its still a bit complicated. My concerns are on the bios high incriments on the cpu voltage adjuster i can only adjust with increments of 1.141 next is 1.441 then 1.641 is it too high? i am using the default bios. Im not planning on adjusting my memory its at 800 Mhz
ATM at the bios i can see my default fsb is at 266 x 10.5 = 2.8 Ghz my plan is adjusting it to 286 x 10.5 = 3.03 Ghz.
My question is how will i raise the fsb to 1333? by adjusting the fsb on the bios am i only adjusting the cpu clock? and is the cpu voltage same as the vcore( the thing they adjust when OCing ) which i cant locate on the bios only cpu voltage..
And as a backup plan if all fails when trying to OC flashing bios is the right thinkg to do?
really srry if this is the wrong place to post. If theres any links(guides) with pics same bios you can give would be a tremendous help. thx

Hi,
just a few first comments, so that you don't get onto the wrong track:
Quote
by adjusting the fsb on the bios am i only adjusting the cpu clock?
The FSB Frequency is the base frequency for both the CPU Frequency and the memory frequency. The CPU Frequency is always calculated like this:
(real) FSB Clock Speed x CPU Ratio/Mutiplier = CPU Frequency
The Memory Frequency is adjusted via the FSB/DRAM Ratio Option. If the FSB Frequency is set to 266 MHz the memory will run @DDR2-800 if the FSB/DRAM Ratio is set to 1:1l5...:
266 MHz FSB x 1.5 = 400 MHz (= DDR2-800 effectively)
When you raise the FSB Frequency you have to make sure that the FSB/DRAM Ratio you have set in BIOS will not overclock your memory beyond its specifications. It is not a good idea to leave the FSB/DRAM Ratio set to "AUTO" when you are overclocking.
Quote
My concerns are on the bios high incriments on the cpu voltage adjuster i can only adjust with increments of 1.141 next is 1.441 then 1.641 is it too high?
Have you browsed through all the values the BIOS allows you to set in order to check if there are other values available? Setting the CPU Voltage to 1.441 or 1.641 is not really something you should do. 1.441V is already quite high but 1.641V is definately too much. Leave the CPU Voltage on AUTO for now and see how far you can get without adjusting the CPU Voltage (check the actual Voltage with CPU-Z).
Quote
and is the cpu voltage same as the vcore
Yes.
Quote
my default fsb is at 266 x 10.5 = 2.8 Ghz my plan is adjusting it to 286 x 10.5 = 3.03 Ghz.
You probably won't need to increase any critical voltage levels for that. This is a really, really moderate overclock. Just see what happens if you adjust the FSB Clock Speed to 286 MHz without changing anything else in BIOS (well, keep Spread Spectrum and DOT disabled at all times when you overclock),
Quote
And as a backup plan if all fails when trying to OC flashing bios is the right thinkg to do?
No, that is definately the wrong thing to do. If the system refuses to start after you changed certain BIOS Options, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from your PSU. This will erase all settings and make the BIOS prompt you to reset everything.

Need help to oc msi p43 neo

hello all,
I just got my new computer fresh from the shop:
cpu - c2d e5200
cpu fan - arctic cooler freezer pro 7
mobo - msi p43 neo
(http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1484)
memory - kingston 800mhz 2gb*1 value - I think the timings are 6-6-6-18
gpu - sapphire radeon 4850 dual slot fansink
psu - jsp-tech (ezcool) 450w
hd - wd 640gb
case - silverstone ps02b with two case fans
bios version is 1.7
OS - windows xp sp3
I want to do a moderate oc on this baby, but I'm afraid since it's my first time. I read a lot from the internet and also the manual but still have several questions.
1) I understand that in this mobo there is no need to adjust the pci and pci-e bus?
2) I plan to do a modest oc - raise it only to 3.0ghz. the bios has gray "auto" next to all of the voltages brackets. can I keep it in "auto"?
does "auto" means stock voltages or will the voltages rise when I'll raise the fsb?
I don't want to "overvolt" just yet.
3) I understand that I need to change DOT, c1e, EIST, spread spectrum to "disable". but I want to keep the EIST and c1e for power conservation. will that effect my oc, considering it's a modest one?
4) is raising the fsb from 200->240 keeping the multiplier 12.5 (240*12.5=3.0ghz) and changing the FSB:DRAM to 1.66 a good option or should i try another one?
5) is there other items I should change in the bios?
If there is anything else that you can suggest, pls do. thank you in advance for your kind reply.

if your going to oc it in 3.0 ghz just raised the fsb 286.. reboot and see if theirs and error..
dont change anything yet..

MSI P43 Neo-F iP43 Memory Remap Question

Planning on building the following system:
MSI P43 Neo-F iP43 motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU
Force3D HD 4670 512MB GDDR3
4GB RAM
So, besides any issues anyone is aware of between the above components, my main query is whether this motherboard supports memory hole remapping (so I can see and use the whole 4gb in windows) and whether it does this automatically or via a BIOS option? I'll be using either Windows XP 64 BIT or VISTA 64 BIT.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks.

There is no option in bios (1.6) but using 64bit Mandriva Linux i have 0-3072MB then the last gig is mapped to 4096-5120MB so it skips the 3072-4096MB area used to PCI devices. this is using 4GB of Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800.

(P43 Neo F) Shoot the newbie...

Hai!
*Cheerful wave*
Just recently i've been having some really wonderful no signal, sound loop crashes while trying to play certain games, after lots of research and tinkering it appears that it could be a RAM issue / Mobo driver problem. I'm hedging a guess its the drivers as i've not updated since I built the machine 2 years ago *slaps wrist*
I have a p43 Neo F iP43 and while I can find drivers for the p43 Neo there doesn't seem to be an executeable file and my controllers are not in RAID or AHCI as per the readme asks... (Listed as PCI IDE in device manager) on it asks me to download intel rapidstorage or something but is there an easier way?
I can't use the live update programme either - it gets as far as loading the box that says ' check for drivers' but then I click and nothing happens. I have a pop up message saying that the site needs a certain download to run but after clicking the install option on the box that appears nothing happens... I'm using IE 8 when I try to use it.
I know live update isn't a good one for bios flashing but for the moment I just need some way of getting some drivers installed so I can check to see if that is what is causing the issue and then flash the bios later if the drivers help!

Updating my graphics card drivers has already been done - in fact it caused my computer to stop being able to boot properly first time and need start up repair :P Really I just need a hand getting hold of my mobo drivers so I can finish troubleshooting this issue!
I'll have to just post a simple spec for now as my boot issues seem to be reaccuring and i'd rather not boot till i have to!

875p, I CANT LOCK my PCI / AGP Frequency using FAST,TURBO, or ULTRA

i have an 875p neo. i am one setting away from loving this mainboard(finally). i have a 2.8ghz running at 3.0 (with a 1:1 FSB/RAM). i can run stable in TURBO MODE, with "timings by SPD". i am using 1.7 bios (1.8 gives me lower performance). i tried all the bios from 1.4 and up. my problem is I CANT LOCK MY AGP/PCI frequency. no matter what, it boots up in windows as 70/35, but only when using FAST,TURBO,or ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODE. my agp/pci frequency locks fine at 66/33(67/34) if i run in SLOW MODE, but any other performance mode setting overclocks the AGP PCI frequency to 70/35. this causes my ATI 9700np to freeze almost instantly while playing any game. luckily my ATI card has unlocked bios or the problem would be worst. i have been using CLOCKGEN to throw the settings back to 66/33 when windows loads, and i get no freezes. BUT I WANT A PERMANENT FIX MSI. not a CLOCKGEN patch. my question to you all out there:
IS THERE A particular BIOS THAT I CAN USE THAT will LOCK THE PCI/AGP FReQUENCY while using FAST,TURBO, and ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODES? or another way to lock the setting in the bios?any suggestions? thanks
EDIT 2:
i just remembered, i forgot to tell you all. my agp/pci lock works fine if i run my ram in 333mhz mode. i have 400mhz ram. i was a running 1:1 ratio. agp/pci doesnt lock only if i use "auto" or "400mhz" settings. it run fine when i have my ram set to run at 333mhz. are you runnig at 400mhz or 333mhz? if 333mhz i can see why i left you guys confused...sorry.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO USE THE GHETTO FIX FOR NOW:
(i am assumming this is an ATI CARD only PROBLEM)
download clockgen and install it. check your AGP/PCI frequency. if it reads 70/35 then you have a problem, which will cause your ATI card to freeze up during a period of use.
unlock your cards bios(if it's not already unlocked). this will allow room for the 70/35 AGP/PCI frequency overclock. get info from rage3d.com forum on how to unlock your ATI card.
make your clockgen settings startup when windows boot, @***ghz, 66/33 agp/pci(read the clockgen instructions on how to run clockgen on boot)
download radclocker and install it.
set the AGP core/mem clock speeds to what you desire. then bump down the core TWO NOTCHES, then the memory down TWO NOTCHES then click "use current" bios button. 70/35 boot overclock pushes your ATI core/memory up two notches, so by setting radclocker 2 notches , radclocker takes the 70/35overclock two nothes lower. you have your desired speed. then clockgen throws your agp/pci frequency back to 66/33....which makes everything work right. it all boots in the right order for me.
explaination:
when windows starts it boots your agp/pci frequency@ 70/35. you need to be at 66/33 AGP/pci frequency for your ati card to run correct and not lock up after intense gameplay. radclocker underclock your card.clockgen puts your agp/pci to 66/33 AGP/PCI frequency.

[SOLVED] Very strange P43 Neo-F + sata drive problem in vista...

Well I'd been running Windows 7 flawlessly apart from a few non-related motherboard problems, so I decided to install Vista.
Basically my main OS drive (sata) is always detected, but then occasionally (more often than not) my secondary sata drives will simply not be listed in device manager once the system is booted up. Now, I've seen this problem before, and it was sorted by right clicking 'my computer' going to 'manage' and setting the drives up to be detected. But this simply isn't the case here.They don't appear anywhere!
It sometimes sorts itself out once I click 'Scan for hardware changes' in device manager and they magically appear as if ive just plugged in a USB device, which is fine I guess...but each time it swaps the damn drive letters around! So having media library's in Winamp, etc or putting a shortcut toolbar to my music on the taskbar is all but pointless!
All of my hardware apart from Bluetooth has drivers installed for it, and nothing seems to be conflicting at all. Does anyone have any idea why this is
happening? because in all my years of computing I've never seen something as strange as this...
As far as I know I have the latest Intel INF drivers installed (9.0.0.1011)
This is the board: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/148024

I can't see how it'd be PSU because Win7 was just fine...but here it is...

(they show up perfectly fine in DOS, but I remember only the drive below appeared during Vista setup drive options...)
Detected Primary OS drive:
WDC WD800JD-00LUA0
My drives in BIOS are set to IDE mode (which has always been fine for me in the past). I set it to AHCI Mode to check if it boots but it just sticks on the same screen (flashing underscore). I'm sure it's driver related but I'm totally out of options now...you'd think installing the ones provided on the MSI site would get it working... :/
Another thing is under 'Storage Controllers' in device manager, there is only an IDE Controller. I'm sure there should be a SATA one there, too?

P43 NEO + Intel E8400 - OC Help

*EDIT* Oops maybe this should be in the OC Forum, don't know how I missed that.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any bios settings that are working stable at around 3.8 ghz?
MSI P43 Neo
Intel E8400 @ 3.0 Ghz C0 stepping
2 Gigs (2 x 1) Crucial Ballistix (2.2 volt) 800 Mhz
I have it running at 3.6 Ghz now with the CPU @ 1.3 Volts and the RAM @ 1.9 volts - other settings are auto for now. Any help would be great.

Best way to go is slowly raise your fsb and monitor temperatures then stress test for system stability, I wouldnt change stock voltages untill your cpu or memory isnt stable and needs more. More volts=more heat so be carefull how much you feed your cpu and ram. Keep in mind when you raise fsb your memory also increases in frequency (and heat) and can only take so much. Also set your fsb-memory ratio in bios to 1:1. What sort of heatsink are you using on your cpu? because overclocking will make it very hot. I had a scythe ninja on my old E6400 which could easily hit 3.2G stable but the heat generated and the noise from the fan having to go full speed drove me up the wall. I have and E8400 now and dont bother overclocking, I learned to appreciate cool and quiet

MCH or NB Voltage: 1.328V
VTT FSB Voltage: 1.2V
MCH GTL REF Voltage: Auto
ICH or SB Voltage: 1.5
Does anyone have the similar setup or any idea why I can't get the system running at 3.2GHz @ 1600FSB and 4GB @1066MHz ?
I've ran multiple tests with PRIME95 and Memtest64, and was unsuccessful.
System actually got through Prime95's small and large FFT test OK, but failed the Blend test. So I'm leaning towards the memory.
But I got LOTS of errors from Memtest86, while memory set at 1066 @ 5-5-5-15 2.1V
What voltage should I be tweaking the CPU, NB and SB to get the RAM to pass Memtest?
I'm not asking much, but it seems these overclocked DDR2-800 RAM aren't that stable at 1066 without tweaking other components. B/C the system definitely wasn't stable with CPU/FSB @ stock speed and RAM set at 5-5-5-15, 1066, 2.1V
Don't know why they call it DDR2-1066 when it only runs stable at DDR2-800...
Any advice would help,
Thanks

The P45 Memory controller natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 modules. From the point of view of the chipset, DDR2-1066 is beyond specifications. Also, your memory modules are just DDR2-800 sticks with a permission to overclock, not native DDR2-1066 modules, built to work @1.8V.
This double overclocking makes a stable system @DDR2-1066 somewhat of a hit & miss situation.
Do you have options to tweak the DDR Reference Voltage Values in BIOS?
Nope, I didn't find a DDR Ref Voltage value.
Hmm , I thought the MSI specs posted would mean the chipsets and mainboard can sustain double overclocking...
Cause the memory module report on the MSI website actually has my memory set, and results were OK when operating at DDR2-1066.

I wonder what settings they used...
