P4N SLI with Pentium D 920

hi all.
as we know that nvidia nforce 4 SLI intel edition only supports intel pentium d 820 in single-core mode. and there's a new pentium d 920 which supports enhanced intel speedstep technology. unlike pentium d 820 whose lack of those technology--and force them to run in single-core mode with nforce4, is there any chance that this new pentium d 920 will run in dual-core mode with nforce4-based mobo like P4N SLI or P4N Diamond?
thanks,
p.s. sorry for my bad bad english...

Hi, i am also using nf4 chipset, P5ND2-SLI deluxe, and it cannot support 65nm processor with dual core. Maybe this info can help you.

  • P4N-SLI support Pentium D 805 Smithfield core or not???

    Regarding the subject above and after i refering to MSI official website, I still wonder the P4N-SLI mobo support the Pentium D 805 2.66 GHz Smithfield CPU or not cause the CPU support list on MSI website shown that it's still under testing. P4N Diamond support this particular CPU and is that P4N-SLI possible support this CPU too?

    Quote from: Maesus on 27-August-06, 02:06:05
    The reason of "not" supporting 805 is some features such as EIST will not be available for P4N chipset. Multipler if 805 is 20x, with EIST, it will drop back to 14x, giving 1.86Ghz, very good for thermal/temperature and save power. This feature is not suported by P4N, so all the features inside the CPU will not be fully supported as well. I think, that's the problem why MSI hesitate to make the CPU as "supported".
    805D does not support EIST nor does it support HT. This can be seen here. Only the 9xx series did and the earlier series (B1) had it disabled due to stability issues. So EIST should not have been a problem with my 940D as it is a B1 stepping. The only problem would have then been simply the 65mm fab which I don't think was an issue at all with the NF4 chipset. The B1 stepping would have had a coding same as the 8xx series which also did not support EIST. The following should spell out what I was ranting on about.
    Quote
    The Pentium D processor supports Intel's EM64T technology, the XD Bit and like most current Pentium 4s, uses the LGA775 form factor on an 800 MT/s bus. The only motherboards guaranteed to work with the Pentium D (and Extreme Edition) are those based on the 945, 955, and 975 series of chipsets, as well as the nForce 4 SLI Intel Edition and ATI Radeon Xpress. The Pentium D 820 will not work with the nForce 4 SLI Intel Edition due to some power design issues, though they were rectified for the X16 version of the chipset (which the P4NSLI chipset is). Motherboards based on the 915 and 925 series of chipsets will not work at all, as the chipsets do not have support for more than one processor core (a result of Intel trying to prevent motherboard manufacturers from making Xeon motherboards with the chipsets, as happened with the 875P). The 865 and 875 series chipsets do have multiprocessor support. Motherboards based on those chipsets may be Pentium D compatible so long as the manufacturer provides an appropriate BIOS update
    So with this is becomes quite apparent that MSI simply had to make a few changes with the bios to recognize the fact that the B1 stepping did not support EIST and the 9xx series would have worked. But rather they simply chose to lump all the steppings together and not support any with the board. This is what ticked me off. Show them facts and they simply ignore it and then tell you that it's being phased out and no more will be done with it. What a crock.

  • [nVidia Series] Problems with boot time for p4n sli

    I have spent a couple of hours digging trying to find out some information.
    I bought the p4n sli (not diamond) and everything seems to work fine, BUT the boot time is very long.  It seems to try to access the dvd drive for 30 to 45 seconds and then it will boot.  Once it starts to boot I get 4 error code beeps and one that sounds as if it would be the normal everything is good beep (the fifth beep is always different and usually in the middle of the four same tone beeps).
    I have a intel 630 cpu, a nvidia 6800gt vid card, one gig of corsair dual channel memory and 1 gig of geil dual channel memory (I get the same errors without the different memory), I have a 450 thermaltake psu, a maxtor 120 gig sata drive and a 160 gig ide drive.
    I have no problems with anything once the computer is booted up.  It just takes a lot longer to even start to boot than I have seen with modern computers.
    The beep codes thread stated that
    4 beeps - Timer not operational - bad motherboard
    5 beeps - Processor error - bad processor
    Would I still be able to run this computer if either of these was true?  I would love any advice.  I do not want to burn up anything.

    hey LtDano38,
     Im sure that the beeps that you are hearing are on account of the amount of USB devices that you have hooked up. You should get one for every device, the low tone one that you hear is the bios beep saying that everything is normal. The USB beeps should come before the different tone one at the end.
     As for the boot time, i would try a different cd-row to see if it does the same. Also is the drive IDE or SATA?
    GL and post back. 
    ok, I do have four usb devices, a flight stick, a nostromo, and usb mouse and keyboard, I have one ide hd, one sata hd and an ide dvd.  I tried slaving the dvd off of the hd and with it by itself on the other ide channel.  My os is on the ide hd.  One last question, can I use anymore abbreviations?

  • P4n with pentium d. this might really help

    intel D945gtplr motherboard
    pentium D 840
    hi guys, the only reason i'm trespassing is that i'd like to get a p4n to replace my motherboard.
    im going to give you a link and the only reason it's important is that anandtech confirmed with nvidia that the nforce4intel doesn't like a multiplier of 14 for either the 830 0r 840 (not to mention 820). it only see's and works with 1 core at 14x.
    http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2538&p=3
    so what? well that got me to thinking. i've had a chance to watch EIST on my cpu. EIST actually toggles the 830/840 multiplier to perform it's function. it toggles it back to 14x for both chips.
    do you guys with pentium d get an EIST disable option in your p4n bios?
    if yes try turning it off. either way, i would download rmclock and click monitor tab and see if your 15x or 16x is being toggled back to 14x under various circumstances. that might be causing an issue for nforce4intel if it hasn't actually successfully turned off EIST inside the 830/840.
    with rmclock, you can reliably turn off EIST and the other 2 intel enhanced throttling "features". if this solves a bunch of issues, then i can get out from under this d945gtplr and become a member of club diamond :-) let me know.

    What is a D945GTPLR? Sounds like an Intel Desktop board, that's a good board, you can install Mac OS on it too without much hacking too :P
    Now it's obvious why 820 doesn't work with P4N. This is an excellent finding. Thanks mate!

  • MSI P4N SLI E -F

    Hi all,
    I've recently purchased a new Msi p4n sli xe -f mobo (no idea what the f stands for) for my new setup and i've already run into a problem.
    After building up my machine and turning it on the leds on the backplate do the usual flashing and then it sits there with leds 1,3 & 4 on red and 2 on green.  I've checked in the user manual which says it's a memory problem so today i went to PC World  and bought a single 512 strip of ddr2 533 to test this out.
    I installed the new memory but the same problem persists, does anyone have any idea's?
    I've used a standard PCI graphics card to allow me to setup the bios and windows before i buy an 8800gtx card but haven't been able to do anything because of the problems i've described.
    The rest of my setup is:
    Msi P4N SLI E -F Mobo
    3Ghz Intel Pentium 4 Processor 530J
    (Now) 1.5Gb ddr2 533mhz ram 2xKingston 1xPny
    250Gb Western Digital Sata 2 HD
    Liteon SHW-16H5S-15C Light Scribe 16x DVD+ - RW
    600W power supply
    Anyone?

    Try booting with only the following hardwares:
    CPU + HSF
    Mainboard
    1 x RAM each time swapping out upon posting failure
    PSU
    Low end GPU
    Feedback the results and I'll try to verify what is the best alternative you can do.
    To clear CMOS with jumper can be easily achieved by taking the mainboard's battery out for 5 - 10 secs and placing it back in place.
    Ok, i've done that and i get the same problem no matter what i try.
    The gpu is as minimal as it can get, it's a pci (not express) graphics card based on the early nvidia chips that i borrowed from a friend and it works ok because he tested when i was at his prior to me installing it into my machine.
    A maxi gamer cougar or something like that. i know it was an nvidia card anyway.
    I've tried contacting Msi through their technical support email and i got an automated reply saying that they were dealing with a number of other cases and that they would reply as soon as they could...........that was over a week ago now. 

  • MSI P4N SLI, Long wait before BIOS post? (nForce 4 SLI Intel)

    Does anyone else have a P4N SLI? Or maybe you might just know anyway...
    Everytime I boot the PC, before the BIOS POST even starts theres a long wait (insanely long, compared to other PCs and mobos I've had and used) around 45 sec to a minute, where nothing is shown on the monitor and the DVD and CD drives are constantly read (even though theres nothing inside em). Then the BIOS post comes and the rest of the whole process is fast as I could wish for....
    Is that normal with the P4N SLI or maybe even with nForce motherboards?
    If not, any ideas what it could be? (I tried stripping my pc down to barebones, minimal RAM, no extra cards, 1 hdd and 1 cd drive (and even without the cd drive) yet still it takes the same amount of time...)
    Please help...
    Thanks in advance.
    my specs are as follows:
    Intel P4 w/HT 3.0 Ghz LGA775 Land, 1 MB L2 Cache (530J)
    Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
    3 GB DDR2 @ 533 Mhz
    3 HDDs (1 WD Caviar 7200 RPM SATA I, 1 Maxtor 7200 RPM SATA I/II, 1 WD Caviar SE 7200 RPM SATA I/II)
    GIGABYTE 3DAurora Case (this case has 3 x 120mm fans)

    Quote
    Do you mean
    1GB, 512MB, 1GB, 512MB?
    Sorry, ya thats what i meant, 2 GB was a mistake. Its 1 GB, 512, 1, 512.
    Quote
    As stated before. Remove the 512meg sticks. To run properly, all sticks should be the same. Reason is due to timings and voltages. Also try to up the voltages to the cpu.
    I removed the 512 sticks before, like I said, and I'm just running with the 2 x 1GB sticks, it hasnt had any positive effect on the long wait before POST. The voltage for the RAM is 1.8v right now as according to the BIOS, is that the correct value?
    Did I mention that during this long wait my monitor is in sleep mode, then 1 short beep is heard, the lights on my keyboard reset as is usual on any PC and the BIOS does its POST (if i pause after the keyboard lights, its usually auto-detecting my HDDs, and optical drives). It's strange because during that long wait nothing is happening other than my cd drive and dvd drive intermittently flashing and my HDD light is constantly on....
    The strange thing is this same setup was working perfectly fine on my old Intel D915GEV motherboard... and it also runs perfectly fine on this mobo too, once you get past the 1 minute+ waiting time...

  • P4n sli

    Hi all, I recently bought a p4n sli off ebay, I built it up with a p4 640 cpu, 1 gig of 667 ram and a 7600gs vid card. Firstly, while searching the MSI site I was unable to find this exact board, it's the board with only 1 lan connection and the "sli" board between the 2 pci-e slots, anyway i turned it on and the cpu fan spun up and the hdd spun up but no output to the monitor and no beeps. I have a celeron 331 cpu spare, and after some mucking around and getting nowhere I decided to put the 640 back in my old pc and in my haste to build up the MSI board i had thrown my little cpu cover away so i had nowhere to put the celeron cpu so I put it in the MSI board really just to put it somewhere while i went searching thru the bin. Before I had a chance to raid the bin I wanted to get my pc back online and decided to do a search and see if I could find anyone else having probs too. Any to cut a longer story shorter, I decided to turn on the MSI again with the celeron in it and BINGO it came to life.
    I still dont understand why the 640 wont run in it but even with the celeron in it it's faster than it was in my old pc. Can anyone offer any ideas on what my problem is and which board I have? Thanks in advance 

    Quote from: NovJoe on 26-April-07, 20:55:53
    So the P640 runs in your old PC?
    Yes the old pc has a gigabyte board in it but only runs with ddr1 ram. On the taskmanager it shows the 640 as having 2 cpu's, I I don't know why tho.
    Cheers

  • P4N SLI-FI Intel Edition Memory Problems

    Ok Im new to DDR2 but this just seems like something is not right. Ok so I have the P4N SLI-FI Intel Edition Mobo. Flashed to newest bios as of 01/23/06 Ok so the ram comes up in bios as ddr2-667 but when I boot to windows it clocks down to 333mhz effective clock and 167mhz real clock, giving me a 5300 bandwidth( checked with everest ultimate edition). Also this ram is Corsair Value Ram rated at 667 ddr2 pc5300. I am running a 1gb dual channel kit I had bought from newegg. I looked on the internet elseware and found somthings about speed ratings and such but nothing that tells me straight up if 5300 should be my bandwidth, I have 14 years of computer experiance and common sense tells me that my bandwidth should be 10.6gb. Again ddr2 is completly new to me. Also I have read that pc5400 solves some problems in other boards not sure what they ment by problems but I was thinking maybe I bought the wrong ram, also on msi's website I checked the pdf file for supported ram and again I did NOT see the ram I had purchased but that means almost nothing as they leftout alot of major brands of ddr2-667 and other speeds aswell.
    I am really pissed off at this point. I can tell my system is slow, boot up times are longer then my Amd XP3200+
    Also another problem I am having is that the Nvidia GbE Lan is not working at all. Checked the bios and its turned on still no go. I had to put a Lan card in to even get online. This is not as important as the first problem but still annoying.
    Thanks for your time.
    Pic:
    System Specs:
    P4N SLI-FI Intel Edition
    2.8ghz P4 LGA
    1gb Corsair DDR2-667 Dual Channel Kit
    1 x MSI 6800GS
    2 x Sata150 WD 80gb HDD non raid atm
    Aspire X-Navigator Case w/ 550w Aspire Powersupply
    Soundblaster Audigy LS

    I mean it sounded kind of like it was correct but, in windows I expected something to say ddr2 667 and all the programs I am running label it as ddr2 333
    Even my everest ultimate 2006 and sisoft sandra say its ddr2 333, the benchmarks that do come with those programs show other peoples ram running at ddr2 667
    Also the comp just seems slow windows loads in 5 bars (the thing at the bottom when booting) and then another 30 secs after that.
    My other comp an AthlonXP 3200+, 512 ddr400 DC, 40gb ide hdd, 9600xt) loads windows in 1.5 bars and instant to desktop with older technology.
    The games dont seem to be loading fast at all either. Basically I am very dissapointed in the performance of ddr2-667 its not faster than ddr400 by any means and if its the board then im really heated because this board should fly, funny how I read reviews on the board before I buy it and they said it was all good, then I find more in depth reviews that really say this board is below average.
    Could it be possible that ddr2 5400 would be a better choice because the board cant support ddr2 5300?
    Again thanks for your help guys im just dissapointed in the performance, sucks after spending $450+ and the video card is the only on par piece I've gotten.

  • Dead P4N SLI...4 Days Old

    Hi
    My new mobo died after 4 days out of the box and I could use some advice as I'm going to have to figure out what to return to the online company that I purchased it from. Could it be the processor?
    I put together a:
    MSI P4N SLI mobo with a 3ghz Celeron and 512mb chunk of Geil 667 RAM with a 480 watt Mutant Mods PSU. Yes, the RAM is in the correct slot. 
    After 4 days (24 hours a day) of operating fine, yesterday I was talking on Skype and my machine went cold, lights out. 
    Tried rebooting, can hear the CPU crunching, fans and lights working, DVD drive blinking, hard drives are humming but monitor remains in sleep mode and there are no POST beeps to be heard. Tried resetting the CMOS, nada...no luck. Tried booting a few hours later and the monitor came on and I got into the BIOS so I let it sit like that. After a few minutes it died again. Does this mean anything to anyone?
    Would a dead CPU prevent the BIOS from being accessed or is the BIOS able to operate without a CPU?
    Would a dead mobo be able to boot again but only for a brief time?
    Argh!!!!   

    hcoshawn, I think you just solved the problem.....I'll wait it out and see what happens
    On the board, just about the top PCIe slot, there is a 4 pin molex connector to add more power to the board, in addition to the 24 pin main and the square 4 pin ATX. When I originally built up the system, I had this hooked up and then removed it thinking that I'd only need it there if I have a vid card in that slot and it worked fine...for 4 days. Anyway, I tried putting if back just now after reading your post and although there are no hard drives hooked to the board right now, with all the power connectors stuck to the board, she booted up and gave me a single POST beep, which for this board is a positive POST.
    I'm just going to let it run for awhile and see if it shuts down again, but she is purring like a kitten now..
    Any ideas why it would work for 4 days without this connector and then just stop working? I think it could be that I installed the nVidia drivers for the board on that 4th day and that initiated a call for more power from the board....not sure.
    I am sofa can we todd did! :D

  • P4N SLI-FI boot problem

    I just assembled a PC with an MSI P4N SLI-FI motherboard, P4 3.2GHz CPU, 2 pcs Kingston 512MB DDR2 PC533, MSI GT6600 PCI-E card, 480 watt HEC PSU, LG DVD combo drive and a Samsung 32" LCD TV for monitor.
    After doing a Live Update on the BIOS, the system hangs on boot-up (no beeps, no video). The LED on the D bracket 2 says: Testing Base and Extended Memory. (It is stuck red on the two left most LED's).
    After a couple or more hardware reset, the system will then proceed to boot.
    I did a stress test using BurnInTest and everything passed including the memory.
    Is there a possibility it is the PSU, or a buggy BIOS? Should I restore the old BIOS?

    Quote from: Maesus on 12-June-06, 20:45:38
    When it hang, meaning you see nothing on the screen? This sounds like ... hmm... your 3.2GHz P4, is it a Northwood or Prescott or Cedarmill?
    It could be power supply but it could be something else, such as RAM. HAve you tried to set DDR voltage to 1.9V instead ?
    Yes, nothing on the screen. My 3.2 GHz is an Intel 640 (I do not know the name) 
    I ran a stress test (burnittest) after booting and everything is reported PASSED, did this test several times. I also changed voltages on the DDR, NB etc. and same problem, I have been playing with the unit for three days now... 
    I transferred the RAM, PCI-E Graphics card and CPU to my Shuttle XPC and it worked fine. So it could be the PSU or MOBO...
    I just checked the specs on my HEC power supply, and the 12V1 is rated at 17A and the second rail of 12V is rated at 15A, I remember reading on my MOBO manual that it requires 18A on the 12V rail! Could this be it?

  • P4N SLI-FI Raid Problem

    Fired up the mobo and configured the Raid Bios with 2 identical HD Maxtor 160GB SATA2 in striping mode (RAID 0) and striping block optimal. The array was successfuly created and proceeded to install the operating system (Windows XP).
    After i specify the NVIDIA drivers (NVIDIA RAID CLASS DRIVER & NVIDIA NForce Storage Controller) the computer stays at the Windows setup screen mentioning "Setup is starting windows" doing nothing else.
    I tried to install on a normal P-ATA HD and everything worked fine.

    I'm not sure I understand your question. Firefox 12 being the last version to support XP without SP2 implies that Firefox versions 4-11 would also work on XP without SP2.
    You may have seen a reference to Firefox 3.6.28 because for a while Firefox 3.6 received some updates in parallel with the releases of Firefox 4-10, and 3.6.28 was the end of the line.
