P6N SLI V2 problem with "dual core center"

I have the P6N SLI V2 with E4400 and 7600gt running XP pro sp 2.
after installing and running MSI's "dual core center" (including .Net framework) I only have the "VGA" option enabled, the "MB" option is disabled as well as the D.O.T option. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as downloading the latest version, but I have the same problem. I get no MB options at all (like no cpu temp, fan speed, core speed etc.). I didn't make any changes to the BIOS yet (other than changing the boot sequence), and ideas?

A great one.
Don't use MSI's utilities. Anyone here will tell you that.

Problem with Dual Core Center and MSI 3870

Hello again, my previous thread is this:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113164.0
The VGA works well, the problem is that AFTER i installed it the Dual Core Center stoped to work!!
Installed the dotnetfix again but no avail, still doesn't work.
And i know that happened after installed the VGA, so i believe that must be part of the problem.
Thanks!

Try the latest version of Dual Core Center.
You will find many alternatives for DCC here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107133.0

NX7600GT Diamond Plus and fan speed with Dual Core Center

I just got a NX 7600GT Diamond Plus for my HTPC. I noted that Riva Tuner and other utilities are not able to control the fan speed of the video card. The only way one can control the fan speed is via Dual Core Center and 3D Core Cell. The problem is that the default setting for fan speed on Dual Core Center is too high and clearly audible. How can I get Dual Core Center to start with user defined presets during windows start-up/boot-up ?
What I want to do is to put the fan into 'SILENT' mode automatically during Dual Core Center start-up. Any ideas / suggestions ?

Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 17-January-07, 00:44:11
well no need to edit manually, MSI provided everythink in easy way from core center.
select advanced mode, create your custom profile pickup your desired settings,(setup maximum FAN RPM via buttons) and save it to custom profile.
suggest you to read help section from program.
So the custom profile is automatically loaded every time DualCoreCenter starts up ? Maybe there is something wrong with my install of DCC, I cannot get it to load custom profiles automatically upon startup. I can save the changes to say "User Profile 1" but the profile active on startup always is the "default" profile ...

Booting/Crashing Problems with Dual Core 2.3GHz PowerMac

I'm wondering if anybody else is having this problem. ...
I'm having problems booting my new Mac... for the first few weeks everything was fine ... but for the last few of days it often takes 2 or 3 tries to boot to the desktop (it hangs during the boot process) and sometimes when it get there it freezes when I try to launch an app. Rebooting yet again usually solves the problem...
Yesterday after i got it booted it sounded like my disk drive was working for a long time after it was booting the computer was very slow and when i checked CPU usage was very high bit i was not running anything to cause that!
This evening I had to reboot 5 times before I was able to do anything .. and one time the fans kicked into high gear and sounded like a vacuum cleaner!
Once I got it going I opened Mail and checked my new eMails, opened Safari then left the computer for about a half hour and when I got back I had message on my screen saying I had to reboot!
When I got my Mac I immediately ran the full hardware test and it passed... Then I immediately added 2 GB of Crucial RAM and ran the full hardware and memory test yet gain and everything passed...
So it should NOT be a RAM issue.
Has anybody else seen this type of thing and/or has any suggestions on how to fix it or isolate the problem?
Thanks

Feldspar-
As I'm waiting for for my replacement Dual Core 2.3 G5 to arrive back from Apple, I've been scanning this site to see if there has been any conclusive determination about the underlying problems with the new G5s. So far, I'm sorry to report, I don't see any.
My recomendation to you is to talk directly to apple tech support If you aren't already. Although they may not have a definate solution at this point, you may be able to get a new machine, with more assurrances of it being healthy, than getting your current machine repaired at a service center. You have only 30 days from your purchase date to determine this, and in my case it took a few days working with them to get to the point where all of their tests and trials were done and my machine was classified DOA.
We have paid too much money for a machine that is only as reliable as the amount of time we're willing to spend to get it running after a few (or more)boots. One of the main reasons I've chosen Apple for all these years is that I didn't want to have to learn all of the underlying engineering and programming that make it work. I have always been willing to pay more money for a system that works when you turn it on the first time. I am confident that Apple wants very much to maintain their image of reliablility since much of their competitive edge is the advantage of great looking Apple hardware running their feature packed native software.
I am hoping that we haven't entered a new era with Apple products where my new best friend is going to be the tech guy at the local apple repair center: (not to knock any of them..by the way.)
Although I don't make my living on my cumputer as you do, I depend on my computer throughout my day for information, important financial transactions and comunication. It goes beyond inconvenient to have to send my machine back, for whatever reason. I am writing this on a rock solid G4 933 that has never had a single problem. Have I just been lucky?

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?

Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.

Problem with dual core processors: 50% ressources are not used.

Hello all,
I have noticed, that the java app cannot get normally more than 50% of the system ressources. I use different threads in my application, but the app still does't achieve 100% of system power. Max 50-60%.
If I run two processes, I get 100%, but I can't share memory space between this two process. Or I can?
What is the best way to write an application, that can use 100%, in other words, full power of dual core processors.
Thanks in advance.

Try thread.setPriority() method. I am making guess
and any comments
from experts on this method will be highly
acknowledged.Yeah. Don't do that, it's a bad idea.
Back to the original post, there are two reasons this can be happening.
1) Your code is not efficient multi-threading wise. If you are for example running two thread that are in theory parallel but in actual fact provide linear execution so that one is almost blocked by the other then multiple threads and multiple cores will underutilized. It's hard to speculate further on this without seeing your code.
2) The OS. First of all there is the issue of how the oS shares up the processor between processes. This varies and may or may not be configurable. The bottom line on this point is that your OS may be capping the utilization of the processor by process. Again there's not enough information give by you to expand on this point. The second OS issue regards how the OS deals with multi-core. Just because you have a multicore processor does not mean that your OS automatically can take advantage of it.

Dual Core Center working in Vista but not XP on a dual boot system?

Hi All.
My system specs are:
Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate
Temps for CPU in Vista averaging at 43 - 45 degrees in XP averaging at 38 to 42 degrees. It never seems to go much higher than 53 on Load.
Thermaltake Soprano tower
MSI K9N Diamond Motherboard
Hiper 580watt Modular PSU
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
AMD X2 6000+
2 X 300gb diamond maxtor 10 HDD
MSI Geforce 7800gt
DVD Rom
LG Dual Layer DVDRW+/-
I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

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.

DKA790GX Platinum, have problem with changing FSB in Dual Core Center

Hello guys, freshblood is here,
I change fsb in Dual core center, but unfort. core temp and CPUZ don't reflect any changes.

I agree. The BIOS gives you better control with better options.

Dumb MSI Dual Core Center. It is not the best tool ever developed. Use the BIOS for overclocking your system.

Found that AtiTool (latest beta) works on the 8800's. The "find max core" and "find max memory" don't work perfectly though, as they start the overclock and then are supposed to check for errors; they are supposed to stop the adjustment upward when they encounter erros and come back down...... AtiTool just kept cranking it up, although you could visibly see the little 3D screen artifact all over the place. But It gave a good starting place to do the OC manually and then go run the scan for artifacts and errors manually. AtiTool listed the stock core at 513 and stock memory at 792. I was able to take the core up to ~644 and the memory up to ~877. I backed these off some (as you can't run both at max!) and it looked stable at 630 core, 860 memory. Ran through both 3DMark 05 and 3DMark06 without a hitch. Need to check it out with some extended gameplay now.

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

P6N platinum and Dual Core Center

Hi,
When I attempt to use the Dual Core Center I get an error:
0xc0000005 Program failed to start, press OK to end.
I have updated the BIOS, Dual Core Center, Nvidea drivers, .NET framework etc no change.
Tech support told me that the Dual Core Cell chip on the board was bad so I got a second board without change.
I really don't care about the OC'ing features, I want to monitor temps and control fans.
I have tried Speedfan, it does not control the fans plugged to the mobo headers. Neither does Nvideas tool (Nview).
Infact nothing I have tried will control the fans.
Suggestions?
(Aside from returning both boards and going with a different brand)

I think the program is horrible...don't waste your time with it.
If it works, good! It doesn't tend to fuss.
But if it doesn't work, uninstall it.
CoreTemp and Everest like Jack says are the best.
Fan speeds however your out of luck with. You can submit a report through Speedfan to the author however.

Dual Core Center runs with strange noises

Hello
I just bought a new PC: MSI P45NEO-F (Motherboard) and GALAXY 9600GT (Graphic Card).
I installed Dual Core Center since it was provided as an utility software.
As soon as Dual Core Center is running, strange noises come out from the speakers and they never stop until I close the application. I have to switched off the speaker because it is unbearable. Except the sound from the speakers, computers is working OK. Even Dual Core Center with this noise seems to work.
I am not an expert at all.
Does anyone had this problem or would know where it comes from ?
Computer seems to work OK when Dual Core center is not running.
Thanks

Hello
I just had another look at my problem and I noticed that one of the figure displayed in Dual Core Center was in red. It is the fan speed of system1 in the Fan Menu: the number in red was 995 RPM. As soon as the figure goes above 1000 (it does happen from time to time) the figure becomes green and the strange noise stops.
I have two fans in my computer: the CPU fans whose speed is around 1530 and the System1 fan whose speed is around 995 RPM. There are some setup in the BIOS regarding Fans but I guess everything is properly setup.
Anyway is there anything wrong with a fan system1 speed below 1000 ? Why would Dual Core center put the figure in red in that case and make a noise as a warning ?
Thanks for your help/advices.

Dual Core Center - not worth bothering with?

Hi,
New to this forum so please bear with me!
Just installed a K9N Neo V3 and upgraded to latest BIOS.
Have installed latest version of Dual Core Center software and when I select the the Silent option withing a few seconds the window pops up and it starts playing a Siren sound like something is wrong. It reports the CPU FAN RPM as quite low - but then I have a Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 CPU cooler which controls the speed based on temp.
I cant find any instructions on how to use / configure Dual Core Center. How do you adjust warning levels?
Can you adjust the System Fan Speeds based on Temperature?
I tried uninstalling Dual Core Center and installing the latest version of SpeedFan 4.33 but that wont show any FANs at all on the main screen or config screen.
Are there any other software worth trying?
Thanks In Advance

The two SYS FANS that I have installed.
Anyways I seem to have solved the problem - the two fans came with Molex adaptors etc so I just swapped the 12v & 5v connectors round and connected them to the PSU rather than the MB connectors.
Now the PC is ultra queit and still has two fans sucking warm air out - albeit only running at around 900RPM
OK... I'D Like to Understand, If those fans came with Molex Adaptors, How did you Connect them to the Mainboard in first Place?
Now this is How I modded 2 X 12mm FANS that were Molex and came along with my Case.
Chopped off a 3 Pin cable from Old Cpu Cooler That was not being used, Insert the 3 Pin Cable into one of the Fans Molex Adapter as an extension. Because the molex connectors on these fans are Usable via Male/Female, simply connect The 2nd Fan to the 1st one and hooked it up to My Fan Controller, now I have the Ability to control 2 fans on 1 Knob, and I Do Wick them both up to keep My System cool under Load. The Fan Controller is the reason I needed them on a 3 Pin, could easily use both fans on One 5V ZM-MC1 connector just the same.
