P6N won't overclock

I am feeling totally stupid here, but I cannot overclock this board even a little bit.
I've tried setting the FSB speed froim 1333 to 1340, and it boots fine, but then hangs with a loud noise from the sound card. There is also no way to adjust the CPU voltage in the 1.5 BIOS. It displays 0.0000.
What is going on here?
I have loaded the latest nForce 650 SLI drivers from nVidia, All nTune will do is increase the the PCI-E bandwidth, and not touch the memory or CPU speed settings. System runs fine otherwise.
Should I ditch the Creative Audigy sound card? Does that play in a OC situation?
thanks

First thing, post in the right section: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?board=27.0
Change the VCore voltage with + and - keys by number pad. If you set it to a value like 0.125, you add 0.125 to stock voltage of chip.

Z87-GD65 won't Overclock

Got My Z87-GD65 back from RMA.When i try to set my 4770k to 4.2ghz in bios its reverts to 39 only.I have flash to latest bios and still same thing.It wont let me overclock at all.I switched to bios B,and still locked at 3.9ghz.Even OC Genie won't overclock it.Did i get a worst board than the one i RMA'd.The one i sent in had a bricked bios A,but B still worked.Even my ram i set the xmp profile to 2400,but only does 1600.

Use 1 RAM stick with GPUs of your choice. I am not just sure if 295X2 should be mixed with 290x.

and the power button is always orange as soon as i log into windows
my OS is windows 8.

Msi p6n sli e6600 overclock setting might be wrong

Hello guys and let me say that this is my first post but have been a loyal reader for a while now and I must say that I enjoy the help that you guys have given me and everyone else for what I have read, keep up the good work and help you give to each other from nobbs like me to the experts that post here, anyway I wont bore you anymore I am just confussed about something that I need some help on here are my specs
msi p6n ali
e6600 at stock 2.4 speed
2gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 @2.1v at stock
now I want to reach a 3.0 ghz cpu overclock and no more and leave the ram as it is, now this is my question, I get confussed when it comes to the cpu voltage and the ram, do I need to change the cpu voltage or just leave it at 0.00
also why is it that some people have the ram linked other have it manual what the deal here
I just want the ram to run as fast as it can without overclocking it
thanks so much guys and keep up the goos work

Here are my settings for a 6600 @ 3.42GHz.
FSB: 1520
Mem: 760
Mult: 9
CPU-V: +.1500
RAM-V: 2.05
NB-V: 1.35
SB-V: 1.50
VTT: 8%
Temps are very good, 24-51C.
I'm having a hard time running stable over 380MHz, even 3-5MHz over. Even using much higher voltages for everything won't test for long without a problem . The memory is certainly capable of much more than that. I've had the CPU to 4GHz but of course not stable with Orthos.
I'd like to have a better handle on what the VTT values should be.

GF4 Ti4200 won't overclock?

Hey guys,
This isn't so much a problem, more of a query. I just purchased an MSI Geforce4 Ti4200 128mb DDR and overall am very happy with it. Although whenever I attempt to take the core clock speed or the memory clock speed up (either using the advanced display properties or the MSI 3D! Turbo Experience) and reboot, the changes have never taken effect. They seem to just default back to the most stable settings (464/250). I know this card can go to 'at least' 510/270 but no matter wot I do it won't let me :-(
Anyway hope someone can help me out. There's no hurry mind, the default settings are running everything fine atm :-)
Cheers ppl

Hi Forum.. Just built a new box with following components:
Intel C2D-E6400
MSI P6N 650i SLI-FI mobo
Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2-800 (2.2v) memory/2gig
Rosewill RCX-Z775-SL 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power 650W Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Installed WinXP Pro with sp2 and system is up and running (without a hiccup) quite nicely... PCAlert4 shows: CPU=20c, Sysytem=25c, CPU Fan=2170... CoreTemp shows: Core#0=32c, Core#1=31c.... My guess is that these numbers are good.
I have built quite a few builds over the last 15 years but mostly on the AMD platform and have "never" attempted to overclock... I was thinking of trying it with this new build as it seems, from this forum, I have all the right components... I would like to try a modest O/C maybe up to 3ghz... I went to the bios and the Cell menu and tried to make some changes but some items will not allow you to change their values and to be quite honest, I'm not sure "what" values need to be changed and "where", to attain an O/C of 3ghz... I appoligize for my ignorance in overclocking but I really do not want to screw up this system... I was hoping that one of you nice gents out their with the same basic components could point me in the right direction... "Thanks in advance", JD <aka: Peckrhead>

mis dos centavos,
I am another pleased owner of this fine board. Proud to say it!
Great layout, install was a breeze (though MSI is in serious need of a native English speaking tech writer), basic setup went alright,
though I still have issues (probably due to the crappy utilities); but performance and ease of OCing is great.
Anyhoo, I've been working on/with this cheat-sheet
Here's a short version-
*Update BIOS to the latest version or not; there are differing opinions on the need to, you have to do
the cost/benefit|risk analysis.
Part 2. In BIOS Setup
[ ]   (1) On first boot enter BIOS Setup and select - 'Load Optimized Defaults'
** If you've never seen or figured out how to enter BIOS Setup, you probably need to learn more before
thinking about overclocking. Think about it.
(2) Save and exit.
ON REBOOT ENTER BIOS Setup again AND SET THE FOLLOWING:
[ ] A. >>Advanced BIOS Feature
[ ]   (1) >CPU Feature **Press <F4> FOR 'C1E' FIELD*
[ ] 1. Execute disable bit [DISABLED]

[ ] D. >>Cell Menu
[ ] 1. D.O.T. Control [DISABLED]
[ ] 2. EIST     [DISABLED]
[ ] 3. >System Clock Mode    [ MANUAL ] or [ LINKED ]| AUTO
   [ ] a. FSB Clock (MHz)     [ 1064 ] 400 - 2500MHz
[ ] *b. Memory Clock (MHz) [ 533 ] 400 - 1400
   [ ] *c. Adjust CPU Ratio     [ 8 ] per CPU
edit/
     *CPU 'speed' = ('FSB Clock' / 4) x 'CPU Ratio';
     ie. , 1064 / 4 = 266.6 x 8 = 2128MHz core 'speed' (E6400 spec).
*(b) is DDR speed or frequency. Since 533 / 2 = 266.65 MHz; result
should be 1:1 FSB|DRAM ratio. if 'System Clock Mode' is [MANUAL],
(b) can be any speed supported by RAM and FSB|DRAM ratio may vary.
/edit
[ ] 4. >Advanced DRAM Configuration (leave all at 'Auto' OR)
   [ ] a. Memory Timings      [ MANUAL ]

*Mine read: 100 | -- | 2.1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 2% |
As you increase the FSB, the RAM will follow in the pattern of 1:1
shown in BIOS.
When 1FSB:1RAM is overclocked above the rated frequency of your RAM
use the following values: Timing: 5-5-5-15; vDIMM: 2.#V, max per DIMM.
e.g. DDR2-667 4-4-4-12 1.9V operating at ~400Mhz will need to be set
to 5-5-5-15, 2.1 - 2.2V.
5. Save settings and reboot.

It's common to suggest to upgrade BIOS. I recommend not to unless it is essential, and reading the comments on manufacturer site do no harm either.
There are two ways to OC SandyBridge and above CPUs, one is change the clock, and the other is change Turbo settings, so lets try that way.
Load optimized defaults, change vcore as before then set all cores boost ratio (in CPU Features) to 42 (Turbo must be enabled). On my board is enough if I set 4 cores to 42 but would be safer to begin with all of them at 42.
Try with OverSpeed Protection disabled, or enabled and power limits 130 for short and 120 for long.
My CPU runs 4 threads of Prime95 (v28.5 AVX) at about 100W at 4.2GHz. So maybe for testing only, disable hyper-threading.
Another thing may be insufficient vcore maybe? Not sure what safe vcore is for 2600k, so look it up before increasing.
Ok, I tried this all and still got the same results. I enabled Turbo, then changed all the values that you suggested with the ratio at 42 and vcore at 1.3. When running 8 test threads in prime95 I still only get up to 3.9. I tried again, enabling enhanced turbo, but it didn't change anything. The only thing that I did not try was disabling overspeed protection, and I'll try that now, but if it doesn't, what is going on?

6800 GT won't overclock

running easy bios 3, fine, all nvidia other features fine. when I try to overclock the card, it goes in to an eternal test loop. i suspect a reg. conflict on some obscure windows tab? the extra pixels unlocked all right as well. have'nt tried changing card bios yet. !!

thanks again, i went ahead with far cry with no oc, looks good enough to huff. just what 'is' the name of the utility that lets you see frame rate bound as a macro at any time i want? that's the limit of my oc jones.

H67ma-e35 won't overclock

I have a h67ma-e35 mainboard with a I5-2500K CPU and I wan't to overclock, but it seems to be impossible to do so on this mainboard.
Whenever I put the cpu on a higher mulitplyer and reboot it always reverts back to the old multiplyer and thereby undoing the overclock, this happens with the bios and msi control center.
Does anyone here have a idea how I could get some overclocking going on my system without buying a new mainboard....

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) won't overclock after bios 4.1 update

Just updated my bios to 4.1, unable to overclock after the update, multiplier stuck at 32 or sometimes 38. I've set everything as before with bios 1.8 but no success. Bios boots normally (does not say failed OC)
Is there some new setting to enable OC in 4.1 or
Intel i7-3930k @ 4.7GHz * Nvidia GTX 680 (1.25GHz/6.6GHz) * MSi X79A-GD65 (8D) * 32GB DDR3 G.Skill RipJaws * SSD's & HDD's * Asus Xonar Essence STX
CPU&VGA Watercooled * CoolerMaster HAF-932 * Corsair AX 1200W * 27" Asus VG278H 3D 120Hz * Windows 8 Pro x64

found out my issue... I used to set the ratio limit for each core under CPU Features submenu but in 4.1 I have to set the "Adjust CPU Ratio" in overclocking menu, it default on auto.
So all is good

P67-G45 won't overclock

Hello. I have a P67-G45 that I bought several years ago. Lately, I have been trying to overclock my CPU to about 4.2 ghz or so. Being new to overclocking, I made many mistakes at first, but I think that I have the hang of it now. I set the CPU Ratio to 42 in my BIOS and set the voltage to 1.3. After tweaking a few other things according to a tutorial on an overclocking forum, I restarted my system and opened CPU-Z, RealTemp, and Prime95 to test it. However, when I run a Prime95 test, for some reason my CPU ratio will not go above 3.9. When not running Prime95, it breifly can go to 4.0 or even 4.1 sometimes before going back down to an idle 1.6 or so. What is going on? According to the control center, everything is set to 4.2 (well, 42 I guess), but the multiplier is staying at 39 maximum when running a stress test. You can read this thread over on another forum with full details of my overclocking experience thus far here :http://www.overclock.net/t/1542410/overclock-i7-2600k

P6N SLI Platinum Overclocking issue - Almost Fixed

Hi there,
(Specs are in signature)
I am new to overclocking and I am trying to OC my q6600 from 2.4 ghz stock speed to 2.8 or 3.0 ghz. What I tried is using the MSI's Dual Core Center Utility to Overclock my CPU first, it was stable for FSB 312x4 = 1248 MHz & CPU core Frequency @2.8 ghz with Memory bus frequency 780 MHz.
Then I rebooted the computer and typed in these values manually in BIOS but I had no post. What I did was only to change the default values ( FSB 1066MHz & RAM Frequency 666MHz ) to FSB 1248 MHz & RAM Frequency 780 MHz.
Any ideas about what's going wrong in here ?
(I tried the +- 1 Mhz combinations, No post again)
Thanks in advance.

I have read a lot before making my attempt, and finally I have managed to boot the system at the third try So here is what I did:
Step 1: I increased the FSB frequency from 1066mhz to 1333Mhz and left everything at AUTO with spread spectrum for CPU disabled.
