P6n sli and e6700 3.2 ghz cpu problem

hello. my mobo is p6n sli (ms-7350 model).. i changed my old cpu(e4400) with new one(e6700 3.2 ghz). but i didnt get any visual from monitor. the thing is i checked mobo' s cpu support list and e6700 is there but it s an old model with 2.66 ghz. but mine is 3.2 ghz. what can i do now?

Simple fact is the P6N SLI does not support the newer 45nm CPUs. The e6700 2.66 GHz is 65nm, the e6700 3.2 GHz is 45nm. There is nearly a 4 year difference between the 2 and technology moves on and leaves the old stuff behind. What's unfair about that?
Try and get your hands on a good P45 Platinum MB if you can find one. Much better than your NVIDIA chipset MB anyway.
According to this: http://us.msi.com/product/mb/P6N-SLI.html#/?div=CPUSupport
some 45nm CPUs are supported such as e5200, e5300, and e5400
Simple update in CPU micro code would fix the problem

MSI P6N SLI and HDD 2TB

Hello,
I intend to buy a new HDD Seagate 2TB ST2000DM001 and I would like to know if my computer will recognize it without a BIOS update.
My current configuration is:
MSI P6N SLI MS-7350
2GB RAM - Corsair XMS2 CM2X1024-5400C4
Seagate 320GB ST3320620AS
BIOS AMI V.2.0 01/31/2007
Nvidia NForce 650i SLI
NVidia NForce 430/410 SATA Controller (04/24/2006 V.5.10.2600.666)
Thanks in advance

MSI P6N-SLI AND INTEL QUAD CORE Q8200 NOT SUPPORTED ? BIOS FLASH ?

HI,I have MSI-P6N SLI (MS-7350) pc mainboard and my new processor Intel Quad Core Q8200 not running on this desk.
It possible some bios update or something ?? :(
thanks for answers

According to this:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1141&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
"Yorkfield" 45nm quadcores are not going to work on this board, only "wolfdale" 45nm dualcores and even that depends on revision, like Jack mentioned.
So your Q8200 is a no go unfortunatly.
Only the older 65nm "Conroe" quads will work.
and fastest intel processor (not 45nm quad core) ?

MOVED: Slow boot with P6N SLI and Vista

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.

Hey Jack did you read the whole thing?
Obviously not good enough. I had a look at the official BIOS update changelogs and saw that v1.2 included fixes that have to do with S3.
Quote
thought S1 was for sleep and S3 for hibernate.
Not exactly. Just to make sure we are all talking about the same thing:
Most common Important ACPI Standby-States:
- S1
This is the most shallow sleep state. Power to CPU and RAM are maintained, fans keep spinning.
- S3 (Suspend to RAM)
Power to RAM is maintained.
- S4 (Suspend to disk, Hibernate)
All content of main memory is saved on the hard drive, preserving the state of the operating system, all applications, open documents etc. After everything was saved to disk, the system will turn off.
If I am not mistaken, all you can do in BIOS is choose between S1 and S3. In Vista you should be able to choose beetween Standby/suspend (S1 or S3, depending on BIOS settings) and Hibernate (S4).
So again, which of the three states are you referring to?

MSI K8N SLI and Athon 64 X2 4200+: some problems

Hi from France
I've try to upgrade my computer all day long, and still have no solution about this..
Mainboard: MSI K8N-SLI
Processor: Athlon 64x2 4200+
RAM: CORSAIR 1Go *2 PC 3200
Graphic card: MSI X1950 Pro 256 Mo Radeon
2 HD (WD 250 Go and WD 160 Go) on IDE 133 (supplied by the mainboard)
OK, I've connected everything, everythings seems to be well started, the CPU is recognized as ATHLON 64 X2 4200+, and I try to go into BIOS by pressing "DEL", as it is written on my screen (just beside "F11 to boot sequence)
Nothing happened, it seems that it freezes...
When I start the computer, I hear my HD starting, the graphic card also, everything...
But what's going on ??
I'm a little bit disappointed, it's not the first time I do this kind of upgrade...
I've rebuilt my computer with "old" configuration MSI K7N L Athlon XP 3000+ and MSI 6600 Geforce
Every thing is ok
I don't understand, can somebody helps me
SOrry for my bad technical english...

HAPPY NEW YEAR (in France, it's done)
And for my computer, all is allright now
Like a silly boy, I've connected too much things in the beginning (USB Hub I've forgot not to plug)..
And so without that, computer boots well, CPU is seeing good, RAM is OK and all the drives..
Some problems with my OS (XP and SP2), but as somebody says above, I needed to "repair" it, and all is good now
Thanks for your answer...
Best regards...
happy new year nice everything goes well

MSI Eclipse Sli and Asus 6950 Direct CU II problem

I’ve recently bought the Asus 6950 Direct CU II 2GB. After I installed it a weird buzzing sound started coming from around the area, where the big heat sink below the cpu socket sits. That only happened when the graphics card was on high profile and particularly when I was in any game.
About a month later my card stopped working properly so thinking it was its fault I used the warranty and got it replaced. However with the new card the system won’t even start. My monitor goes from “Please check signal cable” to “No signal” and apparently the system is not even moving past the bios checks.
The weird think is that when I use my old card (MSI R4870 1GB) the system seems to work properly!!! I tried the 6950 in two different systems and it seems to be working….
I’ve tried resetting the bios removing other devises to test the power supply etc., but nothing works, I can only think that something is wrong with the motherboard.
Any ideas on what might be wrong???
My system is:
MB: MSI Eclipse Sli
CPU: Core I7 920
PSU: TAGAN TG700-U88 PIPEROCK SERIES 700W
RAM: 3 x CORSAIR TR3X6G1600C9 Triple DDR3
HDD: WD Velociraptor 150GB for the OS

Thanks for the timely reply HU16E.
I don't have another psu available right now but I will in 3 days so I will try that.
On the other hand I have mine working as a single rail from the day I bought it (turbo mode switch on the psu), but i am not sure how this can be connected.
Also while I was playing around with the system it started up, only once, with the 6950, and that happened with everything connected so I still can't figure what the hell is happening!!!! I am thinking that something on the pcie port is wrong so i tried on the other ports too, yet nothing happened.
I am still leaning towards the motherboard but any other ideas would be welcomed.

P6N SLI Platinum (MS-7350) 4 gig memory problem

I've owned this board over a year, running fine with 2 gig Corsair XMS2 CM2X1024-6400C4. CPU is E-6600 XP Pro SP3, AMI Bios v1.6, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS (320 MB). Power: Zerodba 620 Watt. Had cpu at 3 gz (1333 fsb) from 2.4 and 1:1 ratio (667) on memory, but when I added two new sticks (same as above) I got BSOD. I checked each set individually in first two slots and memtest passes. When all four sticks are in, memtest hangs, varying from 3 minutes to 54 minutes. Is there a conclusion to be drawn other than a bad motherboard/mem slots?
I tried liveupdate, then found out that's bad too and has its own bsod issues.... disappointing. Not too happy with MSI right now. Have I missed something? I put all bios settings back to standard before testing.
From the beginning, the onboard networking didn't work, but I had a spare SMC EZ Card 10/100 PCI (SMC1211 Series) card to pop in and it's been working fine. I have had occasional no video on bootup, but not sure if that's related. Sometimes native 1600x1200 res changes to 1024x768 after waking from S3 suspend, but I suspect that's driver related. I've removed and reseated all cards and memory and checked all cables are tight.
I could use some constructive suggestions please. I just turned 60 and in order to learn something new I have to forget something to make room. If you need more info, please ask.
The board is still under warranty....how is MSI on turnaround time? Am I better off just buying a new board?
Thanks.

shut down pc, open up your pc and remove three memory and leave the one closest to cpu slot 1. power the pc and let window and all prog to load. then download the cpuz prrog link below
http://www.filehippo.com/search?q=cpuz
then run it then click on memory section and spd section you will see similar things (take no notice of mine because i am now using a different pc)

http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff177/kourosh22/?action=view&current=ScreenShot060.jpg
make a note of those reading on paper.
then you have to make adjustment in your virtual memory for 4 gb please do that then (if you do not know please reply so i show you how) then shut down pc and insert the other three memory then power the pc and go into bios . in order to change memory setting you have to go from Auto to manual so first change the cpu setting from auto to manual then go towards memory you will see either 667 or 800 depending on your memory if it is 800 the enter 700 then hit return and the other setting you have to change according to those figure you made note of it on paper.
after these if you use the arrow downward keep hitting it till you get to the end of the page and on the left hand side you see another parameter by clickin on the setting you change it from 4% or 6% or 8% or 12% . this is another parameter that you have to change in order to get it stable. i would suggest 8%
also if you use my user name and look at threads or replies you may also get other answers good luck

Re: NF980-65 /2-GTX 480 SLI and GT 240 as dedicated PhysX problem -|- Split

Hello,
I have a similar issue using 2 - Geforce 9800 GX2 and a Geforce 9600 GSO. The GSO is in PCIe Slot 3 (bottom) and the GX2 are on the top two PCIe slots. Starting the up the computer, the GSO picks up the video display and the GX2 are silent until Windows Vista starts up. Everything works just fine as Windows Vista installs default drivers and after that I install the Nvidia 258.6 drivers 32 bit.
The problem I have with this mainboard is that it performs less than an ASUS M4A78TE with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz with the same exact memory and a single Geforce 9800 GX2 installed.
What is worse is that the performance gain of SLI is marginal as opposed to the cost. One Geforce 9800 GX2 or Geforce GTX 295 vs Quad SLI of both cards. The performance is just not worth the cost.
Personally, I believe that unless you are sure you can get significant gains, that is 150% or more, DO NOT BUY! We are buying into "tales" of the industry. They want you to think you will gain something but in reality, you loose~ Every time!
Geforce 9600 GSO (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X4 965 / ASUS M4A78TE)

Geforce GTX 295 Quad Sli (Nvidia Vista drivers 258.96 32bit) ( X6 1090T / MSI NF980-65)
When it comes to Computer digital content creations, I cannot believe that the 9800 GX2 performs the same as the GTX 295. Both render a preset picture in the same amount of time.
So what is the need for quad SLI? Why buy the latest and greatest if the performance is marginal? Even the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T was a waste of money. The Phenom II X4 965 performs better!
If anyone knows how to improve performance without the sacrifice of warranty on components, please advise.
This has been a terrible waste of money for me.

the core issue is that for sli to work you need both card to match spec for spec.
example i have 2 sli setup (one set 8800 gt from bfg) and the other a (9800 gt setup from evga) when you put the 2 cards in sli the faster one will drop it speed to match the slower card so i would say try pulling the slow card and you should see a performance gain.

Video messed up with P6N SLI Platinum and ASUS EAX1950PRO

Specs:
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4G
4 GB Patriot Ram
P6N SLI Platinum
ASUS EAX1950PRO
RocketFish 700w psu
Problem: I don't get the grpahics card post screen just the MOBO's and the video is all messed up. There are multicolored vertical blinking lines running up and down the screen. I can see through the clutter that it is posting fine (it looks for a boot device) but I figure I need to fix the graphics issue before going any further.
I am working on a new system, so at this point everything is unplugged except the RAM CPU and video card. I have tested it out switching the ram sticks out so unless they are both bad it is not the ram. What is my problem? ANy help would be rad.
Thanks
Ryan

Test your video card in a different system or try a different video card in the P6N SLI Platinum.

MSI P6N SLI V2 does not boot up from cd/dvd and few other problems

HI
I just bought a computer P6N SLI V2 + E6750. It has following problem. It does not boot from cd.
I have Sata HD. CD/DVD is installed to IDE as a master.
I have done settings in bios so that First boot is cd/dvd and second is sata HD. Anyhow it still goes to the hd and stars windows.
I was only able to boot up from cd when I disabled hd from boot sequency. Meaning I left only cd/dvd there.
Hopefully you pro's can help me.
Then there is another problem. Windows is telling me that it found new pci device. I do not know what device. I have only Graphig card (geforce 8800 gts) installed into pci-E. Drivers and software are also installed, I assume proberly. How to find out what windows thinks it found.
Third problem is onboard soundcard. I cannot get any sound out from the machine. I have downloaded driver from realtek, but still no sound.
Unfortunatelly I do not have original software for motherboard. Only the latest from MSI website.
Hopefully someone can help me.
thanks.

About bootup, i dont know yet.
To find out what windows found, look in devicemanager.
To go there go to controlpanel, system then choose devicemanager.
There you can see what's installed.
Last, your soundcards needs to be enabled in bios, under integrated peripherals there should be a line with "onboard sound", enable this and sound should work, unless its broken.

P6N SLI Platinum BIOS issue...

So I purchased an e8400 processor after the 1.6 BIOS update came out for my P6N SLI Platinum, got it yesterday. I put the processor in and it didn't work . I turned to Google to have the internet fix the issue, and it seems if I adjust some options in my BIOS, it may make the e8400 work. Two of the things it said to change were EIST and C1E. I went into my BIOS, and tried hitting F4 in the CPU menu to get C1E to show up, but it won't. The EIST option is no where to be found either...
Anyone else running into the same issue, or got a e8400 to work after changing stuff in the BIOS?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Forgot to post my system specs
Mobo: P6N SLI Platinum
CPU: Intel Pentium D 930
RAM 2GB (1GB x2) Patriot DDR 667 (PC 5300)
GPU: eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GT
PSU: Thermaltake 500W

I used that bios, but on my regular p6n sli and got it to work. here is my topic on it
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115998.0
Dont clear the bios after you take out the old cpu or it wont work
I have been tinkering with it all day just to see what the actual problem is and it doesnt seem that it is the EIST OR C1E. from what I have done it seems that it is a problem with the voltages that keeps it from booting. If you change those with the other cpu in and then save and exit. Dont let it reboot, shut it off before it starts to boot up again and put the e8400 in

MSI P6N SLI boot problems

I recently bought a P6N SLI and new memory since my current board is getting old
When I got everything assembled and turned it on, all fans and lights started, but there were no beeps and no video
I made sure all power connectors were not loose and tried it with minimum components out of my case, still same problem
tried old memory in case new memory was faulty, no luck
I'm sure all old components are working (using them right now)
sent board in for RMA in case I got a bad board, new one did same thing
since the board didnt come with a D-Bracket, I threw one together (4 LEDs on the red pins, ground on USB) all 4 lit up "System PowerON The D-LED will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly"

I am attaching a link to MSI's CPU support page..you can also get there by going to the top of the forum page, to the right of the MSI banner are all the links you need..handy. I would think, that any P4 series or any Core 2 Series CPU would be supported from the initial bios release. The "D" series are a bit out of the mainstream, but are supported once bios is updated. If you have a decent computer repair store, they should be able to pop in a P4 or C2D CPU to get it into bios and flash it. Hey, here's a thought...the Core 2 Duo chips are relatively inexpensive now..you can get a Core 2 Duo E4500 for about $125 US that will run circles around your D805...? Good luck.

P6N SLI / power supply question

I have a question to pose to the experts. I am building a computer for a friend. He brought me the parts to work on. The motherboard is the MSI P6N SLI and the power supply he brought me is a KWi KingWin Model AP-450 with the following specs:
+3.3V - 22A
+5V - 35A
+12V - 15A
-12V - .8A
-5V - .5A
+5VSB - 3A
Total - 450W
The system will contain 2 hard drives, one Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 80GB SATA the other a Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 40GB IDE.
It will also have a SATA DVD burner and a XFX GeForce 8600 video card which does not have a power input.
CPU is an Intel 925 dual core chip.
In your opinion, will the 450W power supply be good enough to keep this system stable?

Total watts is pretty useless these days. It is more important that each rail has current reserve beyond what is attached to that rail. A poster in another thread had a 1000W power supply with 4 rails that he spent nearly $300 on. Each individual rail was spec-ed lower than the minimum for the motherboard almost all the excess power was on the drive connectors not the motherboard connectors and the 4 +12V rails were not helping the motherboard since only 1 rail was supplying the +12V to the motherboard. So in this instance a 500W supply that only has 1 rail that is 25A on the +12V is more powerful than the 1000W supply. In this case, the 500W power supply would be fine for powering up the motherboard alone, that particular 1000W supply would not.
Lesson here:
You can't just throw Watts at your system without determining where those Watts are going.
It only takes 1 leg of your power supply to be too weak, for the existing setup, to make things act weird. Doesn't matter how much reserve power you have on the other legs. 1A too weak and any chip can power down in the middle of things doesn't matter if you have a 2000W supply that cost $1000.
The components in your computer do not care about how cool your power supply looks. They don't care if it has LED fans or UV connectors or braided sleeves. It doesn't matter how much it costs. Once you find a list of power supplies that will work for your system, then look for adequate cooling, enough of the right connectors, etc. The 2nd to the last in the decision process should be glossy paint and lastly the price. Of course you may want to purchase that clear case power supply with 3 color LED 120mm fan. It may just be a conversation piece sitting on the shelf if it won't work in your system.
Good examples:
The first one may in-fact be the best one for a particular motherboard. The last one may not even power up a basic quad core system business workstation. You must research what you are buying. Don't just look at how cool it is.
This one has 25A on the single +12V rail. 550W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817170011
This one has 16A on the +12V1 and 18A on the +12V2 rails. 500W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148003
This one has 7 +12V rails, several of them at only 20A. 2000W has 2 power cords and I want to know what case it fits in. I see feet on it and they are calling it a modular supply. There are other ways of doing things. Not everything has to be forced into one system.
