P6N SLI Plat & Bios 1.31, what's the verdict?

For you guys who've already flashed to bios 1.31 how's it running?  Has it corrected any issues that you had with previous bios versions?  Will your machine allow the keyboard to start on a cold boot?  I almost did it however I just couldn't make myself go through with it.

Ok after not being able to boot by hitting any key this morning I flashed my mb to 1.31.  Other than having to reset my bios settings I don't really see anything different about it.  I'm going to try to messing around with booting to see if the any key works again and I'll report back with my findings.

  • P6N Sli Plat. and Wolfdale

    Hi...does anyone know for sure if the P6N Sli Plat. can use the E8400 or E8500?  According to the compatibility list, either "stepping" version of either cpu is compatible if your board has Bios ver. 1.7.  But still I am cautious about buying one of those cpu's since I can't seem to find on forums where somebody has done this successfully (with 1 exception where they played with voltages and all that).  In fact even since bios 1.7 I still only read about people trying it without success.
    Thanks

    Going sli with those gts will help when the going gets tough and deliver more frames per second for a smoother gaming expierence. Those new nvidia drivers havent made any difference as far as i can tell. I see youre using klipsch speakers good choice there is no better option in my mind for i own a set of chorus 2s for my stereo and a huge klipsch fan, nothing makes the neighbors hate you more than rattling knick knacks off thier shelves in the houses around me.

    Electronic Press Kit.
    Usually in the form of video outtakes, movie trailers, cast and crew interviews. Basically, the stuff that gets bunged onto commercial DVDs as extras or ends up on late night TV "Making Of..." shows.
    To answer the OP, you want a button on the menu that leads to a still image, or series of them, set up as a slide show. You can copy/paste the text in DVD Studio and then add formatting via the Text menu. (Highlight the text and right click to access formatting controls). Or do it in a graphics application using the appropriate video image preset.

  • What's the verdict on 10.8.4 for Server?

    Just a simple question. What's the verdict on 10.8.4 wrt the effect on Server? I don't see many issues. Is everybody waiting?

    It has its quirks - as you'd expect from anything so monstrously complex. But it does a really good job of hiding the underlying complexity. PROVIDING your DNS, Reverse DNS, and CA-signed SSL Cert are consistent and you are ABSOLUTELY happy that they are so before you begin.
    It uses much of the same open source technology as many Linux Servers: Apache2; Postfix; Dovecot; amavis-new etc. so if you have experience with these, and can bear to keep your hands off the config files as long as possible, you'll be we'll impressed. Add in Kerberos and LDAP with OS X Server's Open Directory implementation and you'll regain the will to live again if you've experienced setting these up and maintaining them in the past.
    Best experience for SSL Certs for me here in the UK has been GoDaddy (we have one cert with 5 names for https sites and mail server URI) and renewing it and changing names several times a year - for free - has been well worth the money the Certs costs.

  • P6n SLI PLATINUM bios v1.2

    So I upgraded to 4gb ram finally, and have got it to work without errors in dimm slots 2 and 4, and have been having performance issues such as slow loading, stuttering in games, and just in general slowdown with loading up applications, but absolutely no crashes or freezes of any kind, no BSODs or anything else that would be hardware related I assume.
    Defragged, fresh install of windows 7, video card drivers updated and everything else checks out fine. The only thing I can think of is that over in HardForum doing a google search brought me to this post:http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1164174 with issues related to 4gb on the mainboard having slowdowns with older bios versions.
    Seeing as how this is relevant to me getting new memory, my patriot memory gave out with BSODs so I was forced to upgrade but had way better performance with just 2gb stick of ram (even in win7).
    Should I do a bios update?
    Specs:
    EVGA 8800gts 540mb 195.62 driver
    4gb A-Data ram 5-5-5-12 2t clock, 1.9v
    Windows 7 64-bit
    Bios v1.2 A7350NMS P6N SLI Platinum Socket LGA-775
    Core2duo E6600 @2.4ghz
    I haven't really done much upgrading since I purchased this a few years back, and quite surprised to see the hit and stuttering in performance in games all of a sudden after upgrading to new ram, and the ram tested out fine for 3 days straight doing multiple passes with memtest 4.0. I tried doing it in DIMM slots 1 and 3 but have been getting errors, maybe I've got a bad board?
    Quite confused as to what step I need to take next, thanks for any help!

  • 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

    Hi guys,
    Ive just bought an additional sata2 drive for my pc. I already have a raid - 0 setup.

  • P6N SLI Plat and floppy drive not working

    System says the floppy drive works fine, but I put in a disc and it doesn't recognize it.  All I get is, "Please insert disc".
    Windows says that drivers are up to date.
    I really need to get it working so I can do a fresh OS install with raid drivers on the floppy.
    I think im just retarded, or both my floppy drives are dead... or both my floppy discs are dead.
    Any ideas?

    From what I'm reading it sounds like you are able to boot to Windows at the moment right?
    If so, why not skip using a floppy disk to load driver, and just slipstream your RAID drivers into a Windows install CD?
    There are tutorials all over the web to do this, here's a good one:
    http://www.maximumpc.com/article/How-To--Slipstream-your-XP-installation
    Regarding your floppy issue, it's very possible for your floppies to be dead. Almost all of mine that I have around are toast by the time I get around to using them.
    If you're dead set on using a floppy to load your RAID drivers, go buy a couple new floppies and see if you still have the same problem. If so, then you're a new $14 floppy drive away from solving your problem...

  • How do you reset P6N SLI board Bios?

    Does this board have a reset button on it somewhere? When I turn on my pc, it wont even shut down when holding the power button. I have to flick the PSU switch to turn off the system. After I switch off the PSU, the board make a loud noise and it really worrying me.
    Can anyone help me on how to reset this board bios?

    Hi and welcome to the forum.  The manual guides you through the bios setup and one of the items covered is what the power button does and it must be set in bios.  This mb has a reset button which is identified in the manual.

  • E6600 stock sink, P6N SLI Plat.

    ok so I built my system last week and its been up and running pretty well for 2 weeks.  But I worry about dumb crap often and I noticed when I installed the heatsink, to get the 4 corner fasteners to fasten the board did bend a little bit pushing the socket portion of the board down.  Just wondering if this is normal, if theres going to be a failure down the road, just dunno.   My AMD 939s never did this. 

    I'm no expert, but I can say those things are way more flexible than i'd have thought... Had a problem with my P6N SLI-FI, had a sauder ball on one of the holes for my 775 socket.. Before I noticed it I managed to injure my thumb pressing down on the clamp, and the board took the abuse.. I wouldn't recommend but if it works don't mess with it?

  • P6N SLI Plat and g92 sli question

    Do any of you guys with this mb run it in sli with the new g92 nvidia cards and if so what kind of results did you get?  I'm very tempted to get another evga gts 512 and run it in sli however I'm concerned about the scaling in vista 64 and I'd like to hear from others who might have already done this.  I really haven't seen any benchmarks using this mb so I'm looking for some personal experiences to use as a guide.  I considered swapping mb's however if this one will yield good results I might try it first before spending more money.  Thanks.
    Edit:  I looked at the sale ad one minute too long and have already ordered it with overnight shipping.  I should get it tomorrow and once installed I'll let you guys know how it goes.  I'm sure that it won't be long before a new sli mb finds its way into my pc.

    Going sli with those gts will help when the going gets tough and deliver more frames per second for a smoother gaming expierence. Those new nvidia drivers havent made any difference as far as i can tell. I see youre using klipsch speakers good choice there is no better option in my mind for i own a set of chorus 2s for my stereo and a huge klipsch fan, nothing makes the neighbors hate you more than rattling knick knacks off thier shelves in the houses around me.

  • OC P6N SLi plat. Barrier around 1600MHz?[FIXED] with new bios now at 3.4GHz

    I'm currently running oc-ed on 3Ghz, see sig for all details.
    I'm trying, to get to 3.2GHz with standard mp @x8 and fsb @1600MHz, but now matter what I try the board either, doesn't boot at all, or hangs at post when I pick a fsb between ~1600MHz and 1700MHz, regardless of cpu multiplier setting.
    When I pass ~1705-1710 it boots fine again. and then I can get it stable, but as said I dont want such a big OC, I'm out for a fsb:dram @1:1.
    Things I've tried:
    -Up Vcore to step by step, no result went no further than 0.1v, cause it's already stable at this speed with +0.025V and to avoid damage to cpu. (I dont know how far to go but this was my limit  ).
    -Vdimm auto en also upped step by step to 2.2V with no results, with either manually setting timings or let bios set timings.
    -FSB VTT to 20%.
    -NB up to 1.5V, but again, it runs on 1.275V stable now.
    -SB up to 1.7V, runs on auto now.
    I've tried all sort of variations of the things above but I'm getting tired of pushing the cmos button and its no good for my pc either  .
    All with no results, if it's below 1600MHz it will boot with everything else on auto or above 1705 MHz it will boot with specs below.
    Anyone else with the same problem or did I miss something?
    Edit:
    I also tried upping PCI-E to 110Mhz, but that didnt do the trick either.

    Thanks for your info and input. 
    I've got a scythe mugen scinf-1000 so I 'm limited to air, watercooling is , yet, to complicated for me 
    And yes everything above 1710 it will do, even your 1800 boots up fine, but to reach 1:1 I must up the Vdimm to 2.25V for reaching 900MHz mem speed at auto settings, otherwise no post.
    And since I dont want to fry my memory  , I'll either have to buy a cooler for the mem or other mem then and this pair is brand spanking new, but was cheap I'll have to say  .
    And even then it's stable, but as said I dont want such a big oc, I'm out for a 1:1 divider
    But it's bugging me I cant boot @1600MHz fsb  , I just want to run it at 3.2GHz, with mem @800MHz,  but the mobo isnt cooperating.
    About VTT thx for the info, I was told en also read about it on the net and they described it as "noise reduction" for compensating the higher cpu speed, but i'll go and bench current setup without VTT  .
    They are both, cpu and board, good oc-able, let me say that first, but my mobo will not boot between 1600MHz and ~1700MHz 
    I know clearing cmos isn't all that bad, but turning on/off your pc 15 - 25 times a day cant be that good though   

  • P6N SLI Plat + Adaptec 1220 pci-e sata card = lockup and no drive detection

    Well today my adaptec aar-1220sa pci-e sata adaptor card came in and I was eager to install it.  My first attempt to boot up without a drive attached was met with a slow bios screen and then when windows vista finally got to the desktop none of my usb peripherals would work.  I flashed the card to the latest bios and installed the newest adaptec drivers and if I hook my wd sata drive to it I cannot boot.  If I leave it in with no drives attached it will let windows boot however the usb hub is out and I have to remove it in device manager and then reinstall it in order to get my mouse and other usb devices back up and running.  I was wondering if anyone else had tried this card and if you got it to work what did you do?  So far for me it will not detect any sata drive that I hook up to it. Thanks.
    PS: I'm going to rma this thing as I've never had a drive controller behave like this thing does.  I don't think that it was ready for prime time yet.

    Quote from: Puffnstuff on 03-May-07, 00:59:46
    My problems were all induced by the adaptec card.  Once it was removed from the system everything went back to normal.  I've used many add in drive controller cards in my day and none of them have behaved so abnormally as this one did.  I believe that the problem is entirely with the adaptec sata adaptor and not with my system or mb.  If I have to add more hd's I'll get a pci card or just add ide drives since I do have a free slot available.
    I have used 2 eSATA cards on previous systems.  Always ran like garbage and screwed up the boot process.  Thats why i got the p6n plat with the esata onboard so I'd have no problems.  My guess is you were having an IRQ conflict.
