P6N SLI PLatinum and RAM

Hello folks!
I want to know that will the RAM sticks (that operate at 1.9v) work on this Motherboard?
And do all DDR2-800 RAM Sticks operate at 2.1v level? And can these sticks also run on this Motherbaord?

This RAM boots at 1.9 on the P6N and is spec to run up to 2.1v, 800mHz.  I've pushed mine a bit faster without any more voltage.  Runs cool too, but I do have nice airflow over the DIMMs.

I'm almost sickened by the price with that rebate, considering I shelled out almost 2 bills for it, but certainly no regrets.  Very fast.

  • Dual Core Center- MSI P6N SLI Platinum and MSI 8800 GTS 640

    I have both the MSI 650i MOBO and the MSI 8800 GTS vidcard. When using an Asus P5B Dlx MOBO and this vidcard, Dual Core Center was installed and displayed the information for the videocard and allowed a mild OC. Now with both MSI products in the case, Dual Core Center only displays the information on the MOBO-- no 8800 GTS information. The tab at the top for the VGA does not bring up anything.  ??? I have tried installing the version on each one of the disks that came with each piece of equipment again and it doesn't seem to make a difference, it doesn't work. I downloaded the most recent version of the utility from the MSI site and still get only the MOBO information. How do I get the display for the video card.
    Or since the MSI utilities typically are listed on the forums as not being the greatest, what else can I/should I be using instead?
    {I'll put this in the graphics forum too as it hits both areas...}

    Running a P6N SLI Platinum and a MSI 7900GTO with Dualcorecenter 2004 and everything is ok.
    Never installed any driver from the MSI CD which comes with the board or graphics card. All drivers are downloaded
    from Nvidia.
    Maybe the 8800 series is not supported yet.

  • 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.

  • P6N SLI Platinum and E8400 Wolfdale

    I see on the site that this combination is still "Under Testing", but is anyone here running this combo successfully with the 1.5 Bios?  Also, does anyone know if it will even boot on the 1.4 Bios?  I want to purchase this combo but am worried that if I get a board with 1.4 I won't be able to boot it and I don't have a spare processor to be able to boot and then flash to 1.5 (assuming this will work with 1.5).

    To be honest I haven't seen that many doa p6n plat's.
    Sure there were some troubles, but mostly they can be fixed, especially with latest bios, everything is fine and dandy with my mobo.
    Dont worry and just wait most of the owners are very happy with the p6n sli plat.
    If you dont know how to flash read here:

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum and SLI!

    Hello!
    This motherboard comes with that SLI switch Card (required to be inserted before SLI function works)
    Also how can I remove that card from its place?
    And in what manner do I have to insert that card to make SLI function work?
    Helpful replies will be appreciated...

    Pull the 2 metal levers at the sides sideways and the card will flip out - Turn it around (Theres 2 arrows saying "non sli mode" and "sli mode") Put the side that says "sli mode" facing the connector, press it down and the metal clips will click back into place.

  • P6N SLI PLATINUM and E8500 (revision E0) fails to boot

    Recently, I purchased an E8500 (revision E0 - SLB9K) processor and I installed it on my motherboard. My P6N Platinum already had bios 1.7 installed. Before that, I had an E2140 installed and it worked flawlessly. I even had it OCed to 2.3 GHz, from 1.6 original. I looked on the list of CPUs supported by this MB and is shows that E8500 revision E0 is supported, beginning with bios 1.7, which the MB already has. The problem with this E8500 is that the MB fails to boot. Does not do anything ! It's frustrating ! I even connected the 8-pin CPU connector to the MB (it had the regular 4-pin CPU connector before) thinking that the E8500 needs more juice, but nothing happened.
    Last night I installed the old CPU (E2140) back on the MB, and it runs OK. Please give me an advice. Is any bios available, that had not been published yet ? Should I take the CPU back to store ? Should I buy another MB ?
    Thank you in advance.

    You might need a parts upgrade on your board.
    MSI takes care of that for you, free of charge if im correct.

  • P6N SLI Platinum SATA Support

    Hi all,
    I have a P6N SLI Platinum and I was just wondering if the SATA ports on this board will support 2 terabyte hard drives. Looking to get some new drives and will most likely pick up 3 drives at 2 TB each.
    Thanks,
    - Sam

    Yup, checked with MSI and their official response is:
    "The board could support any HDD in principle, due to this board has been phase out so long, so please test the combination before purchasing."
    Not what I wanted to hear, lol. Guess all I can do is order the drives and hope for the best. I'm not expecting problems, but it would've been reassuring to have a useful response from MSI. 
    Thanks guys,

    No, that won't work as that requires a UEFI bios and GPT format which is both not possible with your old board just supporting classic bios. You won't be able to access the entire drive space which makes a (costly) 3TB HDD quite useless.
    Better just get nothing above a 2TB HDD.
    Connection won't change that.

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum OEM Modification Question

    The MSI P6N SLI Platinum OEM edition motherboard comes with all the circuit layout needed to support 2 SLI x16 Style connectors for SLI'd video cards. However the OEM only comes with one installed and an empty slot for the other. What resistors and the like would I need to add to the board in order to add the pcie x16 connector to the empty area on the board? I've already found a source for the actual slot, and I know I am going to need to add a resistor of some type to the empty resistor slot directly above where the PCIe slot will go. Beyond that I don't know what else I need to do, or what type of resistor is needed.
    Oh yeah, and where can I go to buy the optional accessories for this board that came with the retail version? I would have prefered the retail version but the board I have came as part of a kit.

    Hello Tornath,
    you have already mentioned yourself, that you have an OEM-Board, not an MSI-Retail Board. MSI does not provide end-user support for OEM products, as this is the responsability of the OEM Vendor who is selling OEM Boards under a different name.  Also, this forum will not support OEM Products and that is why I will have to close this thread. 
    However, before you waste huge amounts of your lifetime with trying to add a second PCI-Express Slot to your OEM-Board, let me explain to you, why your plan is rather pointless:
    1) The only OEM-Board of this class I know of, has the model number MS-7350VP.  If there ever was a marketing name, it would be called P6N Platinum (not P6N SLI Platinum), and there is one simple reason for that:
    2) This particular OEM Board has an NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra Chipset (as opposed to the NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI), and if you look at the specifications for NVIDIA Chipset on the official NVIDIA Chipset Specification Site, you will see that this Chipset does not support the NVIDIA SLI™ Technology: http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce_600i_tech_specs.html   .... That is basically why there is no additional PCI-Express Slot in the first place.   So even if you should succeed in adding a secondary PCI-Express Slot to the board physically, the chipset will render it more a less useless in terms of running two video cards in SLI mode.

  • DOA? P6N SLI Platinum wont POST

    Hello,
    I recently bought a P6N SLI Platinum, and it won't POST.  The screen flickers with the graphic card's POST, but then goes blank.
    After cycling through some steps, the 4 LEDs of the self-diagnostic PCI slot cover are indicated as:
    GR
    GG
    Which seems to indicate the board is getting hung up in the "Floppy Controller initiate" stage.  Seems weird to me, both to get hung up at that stage and to have no POST on the screen before then.  I unplugged the floppy cable, pushed the "CMOS reset" switch, but on switching back on the same symptoms persist.
    I've no hard drive plugged in, just a Memtest CD in a DVD drive plugged onto the IDE.  The CD and DVD drive are both good.
    Is this a DOA board?  What else should I try?
    Set-up is:
    P6N SLI Platinum
    2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe
    PCP&C 610W, 5V@30A/12V@49A PSU
    4 x G.Skill 1Gb DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
    XFX GeForce *600GT PCI Express X16 video card
    Thanks,
    Ian S

    Am still having issues.  I decided that the problem was my display, so bought a new one.  I managed to get Vista 64 to install, but the screen kept going blank.  Tried a different screen, same problem.  Then after a restart it wouldn't POST again.  So I pulled everything out except the CPU, cooling and little MOBO display LED thing, and reseated the graphics card.  System still won't boot, but shows intermittent displays on the 4 LEDs.  First it got hung up on:
    RR
    RG
    which indicates "Initializing Video Interface".  I power-cycled again, and it then got hung at:
    RG
    RG
    which now indicates "Testing Base and Extended Memory".  So I power-cycle again, and now it won't show any LEDs at all!
    I was wondering whether the MOBO or graphics card is at fault.  But considering the inconsistent symptoms shown by the MOBO indicators, I'm inclined to suspect the MOBO.
    Is it me, or is this motherboard a piece of ****?  I can't work out what the problem is.  Not sure what else to try.  I haven't flashed any BIOS, done any OC'ing, so I do expect a much more reliable MOBO than this at the price they charged for it.
    Open to suggestions.
    Set-up is:
    P6N SLI Platinum

  • 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.

    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 Mainboard - 4GB RAM installed, 3GB showing (closed)

    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?

    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.

  • 4GB ram for P6N SLI Platinum

    Can anyone recommend me good quality ram for my P6N SLI Plat. board ? I know some memory is incompatible with it so I need to know which one I can buy that will work and good memory.
    I have Q6600 + 8800GTS 640 and P6N SLI Platinum bios v.1.1.

    I've been extremely happy with running Corsair Dominator PC-8500C5D's (rated 1066 but 800 chipped), in both P7N & P6N. If your OS is XP, the 2X1G set in slots 1 & 3 works good. If you have Vista, 2X2G set in slots 1 & 3 would be a good combo as well.

  • 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.
    Cheers

    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.

  • P6N SLI Platinum random shutdowns

    System:
    MSI P6N SLI Platinum MoBo
    Intel E6750 CPU
    Etasis 850W PSU
    Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 RAM (using only 1 stick while troubleshooting)
    MSI NX8600GTS GPU
    OK, this is a strange one. I put my new system together and everything seemed to be working fine. POST looked OK, and I was even able to install Windows. Everything seemed stable.
    One thing that troubled me was that the lights on the D-Bracket were all red AFTER POST. In other words everything was working, but the LEDs were showing CPU problem. I tried everything I could think of to get the lights to go away, but nothing worked. I disconnected all HDs, DVD, and floppy drives. I reset the BIOS, and reseated the CPU. I tried putting RAM in different slots, tried both sticks solo, but nothing made any difference.
    It was getting late, so I decided to go to bed and run memtest86+ over night. When I got up this morning the system had powered itself down. When I turned it on again it powered itself off within a minute of being turned on. This was with all the drives hooked up, so I disconnected everything and now it's been sitting happily in the BIOS for over 30 minutes.
    So at this point, it seems like it could be a power supply issue. Unfortunately, I don't have another PSU with an 8-pin CPU connector that I can try in this system. Any thoughts? Next steps to try?
    Other possibly useful facts:
    When I boot into the BIOS the D-Bracket lights show #3 green, and all others red, indicating "initializing keyboard controller". But when I boot past the BIOS to a CDROM or Windows, they show all red, indicating "CPU problem"
    The system makes a brief chirp the POST screen. It doesn't sound like a beep code to me, and I've heard some boards will do an "everything's OK" beep like this. But it could be important so there it is.
    Although it seems happier with all the drives disconnected (indicating a PSU problem), it still shows all red LEDs on the D-Bracket (indicating a CPU problem).
    This is not the first system I've built, and I was fairly careful about putting everything together the right way. The only goof I know of is that at one point I was unplugging and re-plugging things and I ran the system for a while without connecting PCIE power to the GPU. Could that have broken something?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    -Steve

    UPDATE: I tried hooking up my old 400W PSU with 20-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU connectors (apparently this is OK to do) but there was no change. Still four red LEDs.
    I also tried removing the PCI-E GPU and booted it up with an antique PCI VGA card. Again, no change. Maybe I really did get a bad CPU?
    Any other ideas, before I try to return my CPU?
