P6NGM and MSI Dual Core Center - can't change FSB

I'm running Vista Business 32. Just installed a P6NGM with a E6750 and updated all the MSI utilities to current version - but I can't change the FSB anywhere. I can't click the "D.O.T." button on the main menu, and there are no arrows near it. In the advanced screen, the FSB +/- buttons are grayed out. How do I enable its FSB overclocking?
Thanks

Are you using the latest Version of DCC?
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1330
I downloaded and installed this version -- but, as the tool does not appear to have an "About" box that gives its version, I can't really confirm that it is indeed the latest one.

Anyone else having trouble whit DualCoreCenter utility?

all other utilitys lie, 12v shows 24v, 3v shows 0,12, cant be real, and no fans at all:D

MSI Dual Core Center

Dual Core Center is a great tool but one thing that is annoying me is the FAN speed detector. I didn't plug fan into one of the header so Dual Core Center's alarm will be on all the time. Is there anyway to disable the alarm?

no need to use dual corecentre friend ...use coretemp
Kudos!
Finally got a program now to monitor my Q6600...and the temps look nice I think:

Thanks for the help.

I'm not familiar with the overclocking abilities of your particular motherboard but one thing jumps out at me ...
Your memory is 533 and you are running your system at FSB 334
That means you are running your memory at 334 x 2 (double rate) = 668
So your memory may hold you back from going much higher, the board and chip should not have a problem going higher..
If you are able to manually set the timings for your memory in the bios, try relaxing them to 5-5-5-15, maybe that will allow you to raise your FSB a bit more...

Help...MSI 975x Platinum PUE + Dual Core Center + MSI 7900 GTX

I have an MSI 7900GTX on my MSI975x MB. I've read the dual core center manual and it states that Dual Core Center can also monitor VGA temps and whatnot as long as it's an MSI Graphics card. Currently I am unable to monitor VGA stats on Dual Core Center due to the fact that it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to activate this feature?

To know you GPU temps, you can access it via Display Properties for nVidia cards and for ATi cards, you can view via the ATI Control Panel.

MSI P35 NEO & dual core center problem

hi, i have a problem with my motherboard msi, Bios 1.2 and the dual core center 2.0.0.8 ,since days ago, the msi dual core center 2.0.0.8 so many times shows fan speeds alerts false alarms from the cpe temp, for that reason, i upgraded the appl to 2.0.1.6 ( the last),i set the oc level to 25% like with the older version, but time later the pc crash and put a black crash screen and it dont let me to overclock my cpu , i get back to 2.0.0.8 but the fan alarm dont stop, and i dont know if the newer version fix this problem
any help?

thanks for the reply

[solved] Dual Core Center alarm sound inconsistency

Hey,
My Dual Core Center sounds an alarm since my CPU fan is running too slow (below 1000 rpm). Fair enough. When selecting User Settings and a profile with a lower rpm border value the alarm goes away, but when restarting it sometimes return to the Default profile making the alarm come back.
How do I permanently remove this alarm, or at least make the user profile run at every startup?
No wonder everyone discards the DualCoreCenter utility.
Cheers!

Browse through the MSI/Dual Core Center folder and look for a configuration file named HW.INI. Open it with an editor tool or wordpad and you should see about this (click on the picture to enlarge it):
To turn off the alarm permanently, "SOUNDWARNING" has to be set to "SOUNDWARNING=0". You can also keep the sound alarm enabled (=1) and lower the threshold value for the CPU FAN ("FAN_LOWER_LIMIT") from "1000" to 700 or whatever works best for you.

Dual Core Center hates me

My MSI P965 Platinum woes continue
Firstly, my DVD burner wouldn't work properly until I flashed the BIOS. How can you ship a motherboard where something a simple as the IDE channel doesn't work properly. Looking at the number of threads here where the JMicron chip was the issue I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet.
Secondly, I finally got my HHD speeds back to normal after installing my system with my SATA ports set to RAID and the RAID drivers (even though I'm not using RAID). Today though I am experiencing random system freezing and even a reboot.
Now my latest headache is with the Dual Core Center that just won't work. And I do have the .NET 3 Framework installed. It installs fine, but when I try run it crashes and says DCC has encountered an error and needs to shutdown.

This IS the most frustrating motherboard I've ever used. And I've used a lot

My question would be why are you using Dual Core Centre at all?
* it is well know that it is a poor utility
* Overclocking better off done in the bios.
* Use Coretemp or SIV 3.14 for monitoring temps, and CPU-Z.

Sorry, but I do not own your motherboard so I am not that familiar with the ins and outs of it, just offering some general information.

Dual Core Center displaying wrong CPU clock speed

Hi,
I've got the 965 Platinum board and I have overclocked my E6300 Allendale to 2.331ghz (from 1.86ghz). My problem is that the MSI Dual Core Center is showing my CPU as being clocked at 2.997mhz. It seems to think that, because I've upped the FSB to 333mhz, I must have a CPU with a multiplier of 9 instead of the 7 of the E6300.
If Dual Core Center is not reading the CPU clock correctly how can I trust that it's reading the temperature right (which is really the only reason Ihave it loaded at all). I know the CPU is only set at 2.331 because the BIOS gets it right, System Properties gets it right and Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool gets it right. It's only the Dual Core Center that gets it wrong.

Make sure you are using the newest version of DCC.
Other than that, DCC might not be the best tool to monitor your system.

To monitor core tempertatures use Coretemp: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/

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.

Dual Core Center- MSI 8800 GTS and MSI P6N SLI Platinum.

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 put this in the MOBO forum too as it hits both areas...}

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.

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.

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

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.
