P6N SLI Planitinum & Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield

I just bought my new Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield cpu and after installing it, my PC would not boot. I oput my old cpu (Intel Core 2 Duo) and it booted fine.
After some search I found out that P6N doesn't support Q9550 Yorkfield (unfortunately).
Is there a way to make my new cpu work or is my only way is to buy a new mobo (keeping my new cpu)?
My PC specs:
- Windows Vista 32-bit SP1
- GeForce GTX 260 896MB
- Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHz (new: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield)
- 8GB RAM total (even though only 6GB is showing)
- MSI P6N SLI Platinum
- Antec 900 case

then I guess I'll buy a new mobo (and I make sure it's not MSI).
Well, then you need to make sure that your new mainboard does not come with an NVIDIA 650i Chipset which is used on the P6N SLI Platinum. This chipset does not suppport 45nm Quad Core Processor, no matter what manufacturer. Here is the CPU Support List for an Asus P5N-E SLI for comparison, which uses the same Chipset as the P6N SLI Platinum:
http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx?SLanguage=en-us&model=P5N-E%20SLI&product=1
Do you see any Q9xx0 Processors in the list? Exactly, they are not supported, because the chipset is not up to the task.

This is really messed up.
Sorry to say, but when you are building your own system, it is your responsability to make sure the parts you want to use are supported. It is not like the CPU Support Lists are a secret. Like Daloona said:

always read what is supported before you buy stuff.

P6N SLI with intel core 2 duo e7500 does not post

Heres my set up MSI P6N Sli 4 gigs Corsair 800mhz gaming ram intel sl9kn 3.0.6 ghz single core cpu Silver Stone Strider series 700watt psu 2 harddrives 1 250gig ide 1 320 gig sata. A EVGA G4orce 9600Gt 512mb video card. I recently bought a intel core 2 duo e7500. When the e7500 is installed fans spin up but no video. When The sl9kn is installed everything functions normally. I had the e7500 tested and it posts fine in other motherboards but not in my p6n sli. Everything functions normal with the sl9kn. I know this because im using the system to write this post =). I cleared the cmos per the manual and updated the bios as well but still no changes with the e7500(intel) cpu. The e7500 is in the compatability list on the msi site. I am all but convinced this is a compatability issue with something else i have installed. The only thing that was changed was the cpu to the e7500 and nothing else was touched. Since the system functions normally with my old cpu (sl9kn) i have put it back in for now. Any help or ideas on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

If im correct you referring to possibly replacing the socket so the cpu fits the board and the pin count is the same. If so this has already been checked and the cpu fits the board pins and all. Considering the board is only a few months old and the cpu and the board both are socket lga775 the only real difference is the one being used is 65nm and the e7500 is 45nm. The board was designed with core 2 duos in mind wich nearly all of them are 45nm. The board also supports quad cores wich are 45nm. The only other thing I have noticed is my ram is not on the list of modules tested to be ok on the board. The techs where I bought the board were baffled as to why it wont post but if the revision number will help the board version is 1.0 The only other thing left to do is swap ram. As before though everything functions until the cpu is changed. MSI and Intel both have told me the board supports the e7500 even version 1.0
No im not referring to the pins, I know its LGA775.
Im referring to a parts update, extra chip, to make sure 45nm dualcores work.
45nm Quads are not going to work, nor will they ever on this board.
Read here for cpu compatibiltylist:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1141&maincat_no=1
The only possibility is to send it in, since your board has revision 1.0

I have the somewhat more expensive version of your board, the P6N SLi Platinum and have the same issue and since the chipset is identical, you also have to upgrade.
This is all due to chipset limitations and thus an NVidia issue, since they provided the chipset, (this said before going to bash/complain/rant about MSI ).
Edit:
This board was made/designed pre 45nm cpu's and made/designed for 65nm cpu's.
Now they are mostly 45nm, when the board was made, 65nm was common and 45nm was still under development.
That you bought the board new, a couple of months ago, doesnt say anything about its production date or about its support for cpu's, it could have been on the shelf for a long time.

P6N SLI Platinum & Intel-Core 2 QuadQ8300

does the P6N SLI Platinum support the Intel-Core 2 QuadQ8300 cpu ?

Nope, the P6N plat will not support Yorkfield quadcores e.g. the Q8xxx and Q9xxx, only Wolfdale dualcores, e.g. E7xxx and E8xxx and even then, sometimes, you have to send in the board to get parts added to support those dualcores.
Its free of service though, you only pay postage/shipping.
It will support older quads like the Q6xxx range, if you can still get one that is.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550@2.83GHz slower than Core 2 Duo E4600@2.40GHz

Hi all,
I have got 2 Intel Core 2 systems with the following components:
System 1:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
GPU: nVidia Corporation GeForce 9800 GT (rev a2)
RAM: 4 GB
Disk: ATA Hitachi HDP72505
Mainboard: ASUS P5QL-EM
System 2:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
GPU: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400 GS (rev a1)
RAM: 4 GB
Disk: ATA Samsung HD252HJ
Mainboard: Intel So. 775
On both Arch64 is running with almost the same software installed. Installation and Configuration of both were without any problems.
The problem is that System 1 with the Quad CPU obviously is slower than System 2 with the Duo CPU. For instance converting a video from H.264 to XVID4 with Avidemux takes about 70 minutes on System 1 while it takes about 50 minutes on System 2.
CPU load on System 2 is much higher than on System 1. Load during conversion on System 2 is at approx. 75% and on System 1 at approx. 50%.
So it seems like System 1 is somehow throttled.
I did some benchmarking with the benchmarking suite of linuxuser.de with both systems and hardware seems to be fine on both. I.e. all components of System 1 are more powerfull than System 2, if I do not misinterpret the logs.
Here are the logs (on archlinux.de):
System 1 / Quad CPU > http://forum.archlinux.de/?page=GetAttachment;file=1183
System 2 / Duo CPU > http://forum.archlinux.de/?page=GetAttachment;file=1184
I would appreciate any ideas of getting a grip on the problem.
Thanks & Regards
hcjl

Here's a discussion about multithreading on avidemux's site http://avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?t … ithreading
Note what they said about multithreading performance varying with different codecs. Maybe the ones you're using are wasting the resources of the quad core in attempting to run four threads. You might experiment with conversions that make use of different codecs to see if the same CPU load underuse happens with the quad core.

P43 Neo3-FR + Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 freezing

Hi guys, I'm building a new comp
The specs are:
MSI P43 Neo3-FR
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
4 x 2Gb Kingston KVR 800Mz HyperX DDR2
Coolermaster 550w PSU
Samsung Spinpoint 500Gb Hard Drive
LG DVD drive
Asus 8800GS graphics card
Windows 7 Home premium
The problem is it keeps freezing, when I try to reload the programme, when it loads to the desktop, at totally random times!!
It'll go on the internet fine then it'll freeze!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
I've probably missed looods out

Yes I've done that and it was no different.
So I had a bit of a play with the RAM/Northbridge voltage settings, basically upping them a bit, it got a bit better i.e- it stayed on for longer 2 hours managed to download Mozilla, Avast and MSI Live update. Ran the MSI Live which said the BIOS was v1.3 and the online BIOS was v1.A0??
So closed it down last night with no probs, then tried it this morning and it froze. So I upped the aformentioned voltages and it eouldn't even boot. I tried various voltages with no joy, so I went back to what worked last night and, again, it was fine, until I tried to rate the computer in System properties. A box comes up with Running the Direct3D 9 Aero Assesment, at which point it gets about 1/20th along the bar and freezes. Re-boot it and it seems fine but try that and it goes.
These are the current figures:
MULTISPEED OC BOOSTER - DISABLED
D.O.T. CONTROL - DISABLED
INTEL C-STATE - DISABLED
ADJUST CPU FSB FREQUENCY - 200
ADJUSTED CPU Ratio - 9
ADJUSTED CPU FREQUENCY - 1800
FSB/DRAM Ratio - AUTO
CPU Voltage - Auto
DRAM Voltage - 1.848
VTT FSB Voltage - Auto
CAS -AUTO
tRCD - AUTO
tRD - AUTO
tRAS - AUTO
I downloade CPU-Z which gave me these figures for the RAM :
CAS LATENCY (CL)- 6 CLOCKS
tRCD - 6 CLOCKS
tRD - 6 CLOCKS
tRAS - 18 CLOCKS
tRFC - 52 CLOCKS
COMMAND RATIO 2T
So I take it when I was told to put the RAM timings to 6-6-6-18 its CL-tRCD-tRD-tRAS???????

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) ?

MSI P6N-SLI with Intel E7300

I have a P6N-SLI board that I've been using for awhile with an Intel E6420 Conroe core processor. I upgraded the BIOS to the new Version 2.6 yesterday and tried to install a new Intel E7300 Wolfdale core processor. The system will not POST, indicating no beeps and no video. The FANS are on Highspeed.
Any advice in getting this system working? I've been running the E6420 for over a year.
I put the E6420 back in and the system booted without issue.
The MSI website indicates that the E7300 is compatible with the P6N-SLI board so it should work.
Again, any advice?
Thank You,
Michael

Henry,
All add-on cards have been checked. I can put the Intel E6420 processor back in the system and it will boot as normal. If I put the Intel E7300 processor in the system, it will not post.

G31M3-L V2 and Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 freezing only on restarts

I have had the stated computer for less than a week now. The first day I had it I installed a PCI Wireless Card which caused nothing but troubles. The system would constantly freeze, always requiring a hard shutdown/restart. In the process of installing new drivers for this card my computer started freezing when I went to restart it as well(Note, I was also installing several programs and catching up on the Windows Updates, but after all the troubles with this card I used system restore to go back to before anything new was installed). It would shut down normally but once it began to boot up again it would immediately freeze at the very first screen that pops up, almost exactly like this one http://img167.imageshack.us/i/x38d19fw4.jpg/. If I manually shut it down from this frozen state and attempted to power it on again within 10 seconds it would freeze the same way once again. If I waited 15+ seconds it would start up normally.
I have since scrapped the Wireless Card and uninstalled the drivers but I am still having the issue with the restart freeze. Keep in mind I installed 3 different sets of drivers for this card in attempt to get it working, possibly they were not all removed? If I shut the computer down, wait a few seconds and turn it back on it goes normally, it only freezes when it is attempting to restart, there are no other ill side effects that I can see.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.
Any ideas?

Sorry about the cluttered post,s. I have figured out what my issues are with g31m3-l v2 motherboard . I have ran mem test on memory,, memory checks out OK, and runs good. The main problem was the CORE 2 QUAD Q8200 INTEL CPU M1 . The CPU caused compatibility issues with the chipset drivers. the g31 chipset drivers. According to Intel the g31 chipsets are not compatible with the Core 2 Quad q 8200 m1 CPU. I have ruined 2 new hard drives from this combination CPU and motherboard due to what i suspect incompatibility issue with the q8200 m1 and the g31 chipset located on the g31m3-L v2 motherboard. Looks like i will need to step up too at least the 35 Intel chip set controllers on future motherboards. Oh yeah i slipped my old Prescott 630 single core CPU lga 775 socket CPU in this motherboard and it works pretty darn good . One more thing, I switched OS systems to--- --- PC Linux OS 2009.1---- . AND I HAVE NO MORE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH ISSUES. I have been working on this motherboard set up with win xp and win xp pro for about 18 days due to issues with g31 chipset [before i read specs about g31 chipset will not work ] and windows software reactivation issues due to me re loading the OS system over 17 times from system crashes . Good old microsoft froze my software license from so many installations . Thank you microsoft you -S.O.B.'S.

P6N SLI V2 - Intel VT-x

Does the P6N SLI V2 support/enable Intel VT-x? I'm about to purchase an E8x00 CPU, which does support it, and I'm wondering if I need a new motherboard too.

Hello and welcome,
I would say yes, since I run the P6N platinum and that has an identical chipset and I can run VT machines on it.
Ive been running XP modus in Win 7 without issues.
100% sure Im not, maybe a mod or user of the board can tell for sure.

[SOLVED] (Arch)Linux and Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 ??

hey everybody,
i just bought a new pc, a core 2 quad Q8200 and i have problems to get it work - even with other distros. I instert the install discs, i get the first screen where i can select Boot Live CD blabla, then i just see its unpacking the kernel and after that i just get cryptic errors. then it stops.
On arch i tried the ftp-i686 and ftp-x86_64 isos, both with the same result. i even tried other distributions. GRML: the same. Debian Installer: the same again. (just that the screen stays black on the other dirstros and i see nothing else).
could anyboy help me, please ? i think i used the correct isos, didnt i?
greets chris

MSI P6N SLI Platinum, Dual Core Center and Mem Voltage

I set my memory voltage for my Corsair sticks to 2.0 just as TheRamGuy at Corsair's House of Help forum had suggested. However, in Dual Core Center, it reports that the Memory voltage is at 2.7!!!!.
I seem to vaguely remember some threads somewhere in one of the forums about the MSI boards frying higher voltage memory, and so am concerned to say the least.
Or is there a better program that can display the Memory voltage?? Or do I believe the Dual Core Center readings?

Quote from: NovJoe on 13-April-07, 16:01:41
CPUID would let you know if your RAMs are running at the correct timings.
You can try SisoftSandra or Everest to check on the detected voltage in Windows.
OK, I've downloaded both SiSoftSandra and Everest. I don't see anywhere where these programs report/measure a memory voltage. One one screen, it will report on the SPD settings for the memory and lists the rated RAM voltage "setting", but not the actual juice going to it.
Oh, well. Must just mark it off as one less thing to worry about

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 to 945P Platinum?

Hi, i have question.Is possible aplicate processor Q8400 to motherboard 945P platinum?I downloaded the newest BIOS file W7176IMS.230 for 945P platinum, but i didnt find cpu support.Thx a lot.

>>Posting Guide<<
Your specific processor does not appear on the CPU support list.
http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&prod_no=193#menu
Suggest you contact >>How to contact MSI.<< MSI technical to check if there is any intention to do this. I doubt that they would do any further work on a BIOS on a discontinued MB.

P6N SLI Temps

I have noticed recently that the NB heatsink of my p6n sli-fi get extremely hot. Often I can barely touch it.... My ram also gets really hot but that is probably due to my OC. My ram being the only OC'd part of my pc, and I am a beginner in overclocking. The thing that worries me is that the NB is untouchable even when the pc is idle, which i'm guessing is probably not a good thing, and products/solutions might help with this problem?
The heatsing is right over my 8800 GTS but is quiet well ventilated, I got 1 120mm fan in front of case that takes air in, one 120mm in the back takes air out + a 90mm over my cpu on the window + a vantec pci fan card directed directly on my VGA + a masscool speeze slot fan card that sucks air and throws it out through an expansion slot. With all this my e6600 never passed the 42 degs at full load and case temp is always around 32-34 degs at full load.
Is my NB supposed to be this hot even with all this cooling? Can I even change it for a 3rd party one? If not what could be making it so hot? Thank you for your answers

nforce chip's are not cpu's ; they are rated to 100°C...
Temps as low as 60°C are already barely touchable and 80°C is outright hot, but not even close to the chip's max.
Better cooling will always help and be better but 'barely beeing able to touch it' is not really worrysome.
you couldn't have said it any better. I've never ever overheated a gpu or chipset. Unless you're overclocking your graphics card (which it IS NOT going to do very much of anyways if you test it with a realistic artifact test for a day or 2), I don't know what the hype is with the gpu coolers. Yeah they're nice, but its not a cpu. If you'll notice, nvidia makes the stock threshold like 100+ degrees celcius. garbage can full of money...
