P6N Sli-Fi cannot up RAM voltage?
Hi All.
I've read through my motherboard manual and unless I'm missing something simple the BIOS will not allow me to change the memory voltage to anything above 1.8v. It stays set to AUTO. I can change the CPU voltage, but not RAM voltage. Is this because the Kingston Ram stick I have in it will not allow higher then 1.8v, or am I doing something wrong? I hit enter to select, nothing happens, I use the + and - simples and cannot adjust.
Basically I have some G.Skill ram that won't post and I just wanted to try to up the voltage to 1.9v and see if I could use my 2-1gb G.skill sticks before I RMA them for some Ram listed in the supported section. Figured it might be worth a shot to attempt to get this ram to work.
Hey there Spafra,
You probablyalready got your problem solved,but just in case...
g.Skill rates your DIMMs at 1.8 - 2.0v, so you are safe to up the voltage within that range(to include 2.0v). If they still fail to boot at he higher voltages, you can still RMA them through g.Skill. That is, if the mobo boots with the Kingston or other 1.8v DIMM.
I have different RAM, though they are rated 1.8-2.1v, the mobo booted them fine with the 'DRAM Voltage' set at 'auto' (actually, with no voltage specified in the field).
Boot to BIOS Setup with the Kingston ram, if necessary, set your voltage to whatever you decide on, make any other changes you like, then press <F10><ENTER> and when the screen goes black turn OFF the computer AT THE PSU. Unplug the power cord from the computer, as well as the 24pin ATX and 4/8 pin CPU Power connectors (per the manual), Change your RAM out for the g.skill, reconnect, and hit the 'START' button.
Hopefully it'll boot ok.
If not, you may have to disable 'Execute Bit Disable' in the >>Advanced settings >CPU feature > Execute Bit Disable [DISABLE] menu until you have a successful boot.

MSI P6N SLI-FI cannot adjust cpu voltage
Ok ive tried two different bioses (2.0 and 2.12) and in both I cannot adjust the cpu voltage. It reads 0.00000V and I cannot adjust it please help.
Personally, I think people are jumping to conclusions about OCZ memory . My (MSI SLI Platinum board) system runs perfectly stable with OCZ memory. Saying that OCZ is a problem is too broad a statement - hell, OCZ sells 11 different models of DDR2-800.
The memory in question in this case happens to be the Platinum version (actually, in this thread, the memory doesn't even seem to be the issue), which must have it's voltage oc'd to 2.1v when running at the stated 4-5-4-15 DDR2-800 speed.
Anyway, cell_491, make sure that you've disabled:
C1E (might be hidden on Advanced settings -> CPU Features page... use F4 to show it)
D.O.T
EIST
ALL spread-spectrum settings
...note that these boards will reset to some defaults if you fail to POST a few times, so make sure the above are still disabled. Also, keep in mind that while the memory 'settings' are or can be 'unlinked' from the FSB, it's still using a divider internally, so you might want to clock the memory down to 667 when you're trying to determine the FSB top-end.
I've been running my E6400 at FSB 1333 (333 x 8 = 2.664 GHz) with my OCZ DDR2-667 ram oc'd to DDR2-800 4-5-5-12-24-2T 1.9v (unlinked 400mhz ram freq) perfectly stable for the past few weeks. Last night I played around with oc'ing the CPU some more and managed to get up to around FSB 1480 (370 x 8 = 2.96 GHz) running stable by adding some voltage, but I'm still running the stock Intel heat-sink and the E6400 starts getting pretty hot at that speed, so I backed it back down to 1333 (2.6GHz) which I'm now running in linked mode with my memory at 4-4-4-12-20-1T at 1.9v (I haven't started tuning the timings yet).
I need this board to make my living, so it has to be stable and I can't afford to fry anything, so until I upgrade the cooling, I don't plan to try for something over 3GHz, but if you've got good cooling, then this might help. It's for the 680i chips so the BIOS options will be different, but the 650i uses the same NB as the 680i, so there's a lot of info that should be usefull (including some max recommended safe voltages). -
P6n sli platinum cannot boot up
Hello
Everytime I boot up the D bracket suggests the computer is failing on initializing the floppy drive controller. i have changed the cable, and changed the floppy drive but same effect.
In the BIOS, if I go through and F10 for no save and exit, it then exits to bank screen as it fails at the point above. If i make any changes in the BIOS, and then try to accept those changes it freezes on pressing either Y or enter. At that point all I can do is turn off and start again. Naturally it doen't retain those changes. I have done this several times to disable the floppy.
I have removed the battery and put it back, (It's 16 months old). It then did allow me to disable floppy but still machine did not go beyond the above point. Whenever I have tried to go back into the Bios again, it will now freeze when I try and accept any change in settings.
As you will see I am unable to even boot from a floppy at this point so cannot een consider updating the BIOS. However before yesterday it has been working perfectly.
Any suggestions, or the loan of an axe to reprogramme the ****** thing would be much appriecated.
Thank you
Malcolm

That doesn't talk much, we need full details about it.
"Intel Core 2 Duo Processor"
Which one?
"2.20.0050.10 BIOS verison"
That's not your BIOS version, look here how to check==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113146.0
What VGA you use?
Remove power cord from the PSU and leave just one memory stick in 1st DIMM, once done proceed with >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Then try to boot, if no change disconnect any storages{4 HDD's, 3 Optical drives, and any USB devices which you may have attached} and re-test. -

I didn't have too much time to trouble shooting this myself, but maybe you guys can help. The BIOS picks up 4GB RAM and after a fresh install of Windows XP 32bit, Windows is telling me that only 3GB is installed. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks.

Does Windows XP 32Bit still use all 4 GB but only showes 3GB? Or if I want to use that additional 1GB I need XP 64Bit? If I install x64 will it work with 32 bit applications fine?
"Does Windows XP 32Bit still use all 4 GB but only showes 3GB? "
no.
"Or if I want to use that additional 1GB I need XP 64Bit?"
yes.
"If I install x64 will it work with 32 bit applications fine?"
yes. pretty old 16 bit application will refuse to work, also you will need to use x64 drivers. -
MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz
Hello.
I have problem with ram frequency.
I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5 but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?Quote from: DaLoona
Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.
Just typing what "the professional's" at the store said. -
P6N SLI Platinum- Cannot set Memory Speed -Manual/Linked
It doesn't seem to matter whether I have the memory set to Linked or Manual- I get the Linked setting in any OC setup. ??? At stock AUTO, it puts it at the rated 800mhz (pc6400), though.
So for a 1520FSB setting (=380), it sets the memory to 760 in both the Linked setting and the Manual setting. Sounds like something in the bios, but I have tried the 1.0, 1.1, and 1.22b bioses with the same result!
Unfortunately, I recorded my OC settings but not the output on my first numerous attempts. But I want to say that originally, when I started the OC's, when I set the memory to Manual it ended up being Linked. And vice versa. So that at 1400FSB (350) --Linked, it gave me the 800 Memory setting and at 1400 (350) --Manual, it gave me 700 on the memory. But I'm not positive now (about a hundred OC settings later --and yes now I've been writing it down) that it ever worked right.
Any help or thoughts? Anyone else with this problem? Any fixes?
Quote from: Maesus on 02-May-07, 22:57:14
MSI BIOS is not flexible in overclocking or changing DDR RAM Timing settings. Please live with it and trial and error with the RAM timing setting that yields the best result.
I'm just supposed to accept the fact that you cannot set the ram to a manual timing, that it will always run as linked..... then why have the option to select it in the bios if it's not going to be functional. That's just unacceptable! live with it......right ! That's shoddy at best.!
Didn't have this problem with any Asus board (which has been several) or Abit board that I've owned!
And why is noone reporting this same behavior from their board and bios in this forum or over in hardforum or in the anandtech threads???? -

Does the P6N SLI-FI support this ram?
OCZ2P8002GK is the model ram that i have. I really like th board but need to know if it will support my ram.
Thanks
DLMWelcome dlmx,
I do not have OCZ RAM, however MSI says this board-
"Supports dual channel DDR2 533/667/800, using four 240-pin/1.8V DDR2 DIMMs."
1.8v being the critical factor, though it seems from this and other forums that OCZ
has had a run of bad karma.
Anyway the most extensive reference is probably the test report(s) on this board and ram,
located here:
"http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/7350/memory.pdf"
The manual contains the QVL. It is a short one page, no OCZ. For that matter, I do not recall seeing OCZ in the test report either, though I could be wrong. The list may have been updated as well. Download it and check. The manual is also freely available for download.
So far I'm liking my board, but you can see I'm using Patriot PC-6400LLK (saw a review on this board that used it, kinda like a word-o-mouth recommendation). -

Hi guys,
I just bought an MSI motherboard - P6N-SLi with the 650i chipset and 430 southbridge. It's a nice motherboard - although that northbridge is pretty hot.
Anyway - I bought a gig of Ram for it too - 2x512Mb OCZ which I know to be some decent enough memory.
The problem is - on the first night whilst installing win xp - it froze. no BSOD - no restart - just froze. I tried again and it was fine. Once XP was installed etc - it began to freeze - totally lock up - every few mins. I had to restart every time. I ran stress tests in the new gfx card (nvidia 8800gts) which was fine. I checked temps and ran other tests and the CPU and PSU and HDDs were all fine.
I had my two sticks of RAM in DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 as the manual said. I then took these out and put them in DIMM 2 and 4. Works perfectly now.
Any ideas why - and if so - whether two more sticks in 1 and 3 would cause issues if I was to upgrade??
Should i send this mobo back? Is it faulty? Or maybe I am missing a BIOS update or setting?
Help is greatly appreciated. - I'm not a n00b, just stuckQuote from: bobak2000 on 03-March-07, 10:04:31

Damn MSI's memory slot color-coding! ...
Ok, just so we're all talking about the same thing, when I look at my (Platinum version) manual, on page 2-7, it's titled "Memory" at the top and has images below there showing 3 alternate configurations for memory. If you look closely at the lables on the right-hand side of the images, the slots are labeled:
DIMM1 (green, closest to processor)
DIMM3 (green)
DIMM2 (orange, closest to processor)
DIMM4 (orange)
...note that the second one is actually labeled "DIMM3", not DIMM2, as you might expect. So the manual is in fact telling you to install into DIMM1 & DIMM2 - not DIMM1 & DIMM3. In other words, in the green slot closest to processor and in the orange slot closest to processor - those are DIMM1 & DIMM2. So, unlike pretty much every other board manufacture, to run in dual-channel mode, you need to have one stick in a green slot and one stick in an orange slot. It sounds like you were putting them in the right slots... just calling them the wrong names .
Now that that's cleared up ... can you list the exact part number of your ram?

I don't seem to be hearing anything positive about this motherboard to be fair.
No offense intended, but:
a) "To be fair", There's LOTs of positive things being reported from MSI P6N owners... I think we tend to focus in on the negative reports (human nature), or ones that confirm what we suspect to be the case. I'll grant you that there are some people reporting problems, but that's true about pretty much every board out there. I may be guilty of the oposite effect, but as far as I can tell, there's actually a lot more positive than negative being reported about these boards, so I'm a little confused that you haven't seen anything positive (?).
b) Also human nature, people who are generally happy or not having problems tend not to post anything at all. So you're much more likely to see negative reports to begin with.
...you're actually the second person I've seen report this particular problem (Edge1, who just posted is the other one). It's pretty puzzling, for sure. If you can post the model/part number of the memory you're using, maybe we can figure something out. I think Edge made some progress earlier by bumping the mem voltage up to what the memory was rated for.. have you tried that? -
Adding new RAM on mobo P6N SLI MS-7350
I have a MSI P6N SLI MS-7350 mobo with 2x1GB ddr2 800MHz PC6400 RAM (XMS6405v5.1 5-5-5-12 Corsair)
I thought I had bought the exact same ram as in my pc, but now I see that it is not the same.
The ram I bought is the following: Corsair 2x1GB ddr2 800MHz PC6400 4-4-4-12 2.10V ver6.3
The new ram cards are plugged in the orange slots and the old in the green slots of my mobo.
When I boot my pc, it boots very slow with 4 slots filled.
Things I have done:
1. memtest with 4 slots filled -> passed, 0 errors
2. Removed my old ram and replaced it with my new ram (still 2GB ram)
Weird things...
-Pc boots up untill windows green load-bar (just before the vista logo)
-> pc restarts
- on restart I can see the initialisation of my ram, disks, ... but after that screen I get a black screen with in the top left a blinking line (the sort of underscored line you get when you can type things, don't know how this is called...) and it stayed on this screen
- Turned off the pc and just booted up
I could get in windows, saw my desktop, etc... but after a few minutes -> BLUE SCREEN!
- Switched back to my old ram -> no problems
I've read on some sites that I should configure the ram voltage, but I'm not sure how to do this...I've ran the Orthos test now for 11h30 and I can see things like this:

And almost the same for CPU1
It has been doing it for 3/3 rounds.
I will let it run for another 30 minutes, but I expect no changes.
But is there a way to test the speed of the ram (read/write)?
Because I think it's not running the fastest way possible... -
MSI P6N SLI Platinum + E6850 + 533Mhz (PC-4200) RAM?
Hi,
I got hold of an E6850 (1333 MHz FSB) CPU for upgrade and I would like to know if it can run with 2Gb hynix RAM (533MHz PC-4200) on my MSI P6N SLI platinum (Rev 1.0). If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to using 667MHz or 800MHz RAM?
Thanks.I am not sure if the Nforce Chipset/Memory Controller is able to support a memory bus speed that is lower than FSB Clock Speed. Intel Chipset usually can't do that (1:1 usually being the minimum ratio supported). However, on your board, the memory speed is not directly tied to the FSB Clock Speed and can be adjusted independently, so the situation may be different. The bottom line is: I can't tell you for sure if it will work or not and therefore suggest to simply test it and see what happens.

If it will run, how much performance loss would there be compared to buying PC-6400 800MHz RAM?
With the memory bus running slower than the Front Side Bus, there will be definately be a performance difference that is not insignificant. -
P6N Sli Platinum front audio panel and CPU temp voltage issues
Hi All,
I got my P6N Sli Platinum yesterday, build up my computer without any major issues. However I have noticed that my audio front panel does not work. It could not detect my microphone when i plug it into front auido panel, it works fine for the rear auido panel though.
Another issues is I highly doubt the accuracy of CPU temp sensor. Msi 's software monitor reports my CPU temp is around 19-20 degree, I know that's too good to be true even I am using a water cooling system. Btw my cpu is E6600. Anyone else has the similar issues?
The third, I notice my CPU voltage is bouncing between 1.1 to 1.24 in CPU-z. And the multiplier is changing from 6 to 9, frequency is changing from 1.6g to 2.4g. I only see this in CPU-z. Msi 's own software reports CPU running at 2.4g though. Is this cpuz issue or something else?
Finally, any tips to max the overclock potential of this board? I have overclocked to 3.1g but there are some crashes. Going higher the board just won't boot up. I read a review on anandtech.com says 1.22 bios is good for oc. Where can i download that? I only found 1.1 bios on official site.
Any reply will be appreciated.

C2D-CPUs have a digital internal sensor to monitor CPU Core temperatures. Have a look at those with Core Temp ( http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/ ). This Tool reads the temperature data directly from the register of your CPU. There is nothing wrong with the sensor. It is rather the MSI tool that does not read the data it provides correctly.

There is no issue. What CPU-Z allows you to see there is the C1E-feature of your CPU at work. When there is nothing to do your processor will automatically reduce Core Voltages and frequency to save power and keep temperatures down. As soon as the work load increases the multiplier is set back to x9 and core voltages increase dynamically. It is meant to be a good thing.
I have overclocked my system a little and I like that the C1E feature is still working at this speed setting CPU frequency to 2GHz and core voltage to 1.144v when my system is idle.
If you have problems with this feature you can turn it off in BIOS. The option is labeled as "C1E Support" and might be hidden somewhere. You may be able to hit "F4" to unhide it.
The MSI utilities are not the best tools to monitor your system. CPU-Z, Core Temp, Everest, Speedfan, Memset, Rightmark Memory Analyzer for example do a far better job. -
hi all
I have checked the other P6N SLI posts for this but i was unable to find it. no doubt someone will point me to one but i will ask anyway.
In the cell menu the option for voltage for the CPU is a little confusing to me. My previous asus motherboard had simple voltage settings going up in 0.250v sections, like
1.250v
1.275v
1.300v
they were alot more accurate and smaller but i hope you get my idea.
In my P6N SLI menu, it only gives options like 0.125v and upwards to around 0.300v
I do not get what voltage is what for my CPU. As my CPU is a E6550 its highest voltage is 1.5, how can i know what to select if i were to overclock the thing?
thanks for anyone who understands.

oh right, so how do i find what my default VID voltage of my CPU is ?
Intel lists it as
VID Voltage Range: 0.85V – 1.5V
You can get the VID by downloading and running Core-Temp. You can leave the CPU voltage at "auto" and the MB will adjust for the correct CPU voltage..you can see approx CPU voltage in bios, under Hardware Monitoring.
