P7N Diamond Voltage info please

Sorry about the dumb question, i new to this tweaking lark.
I'm trying to have a little tinker in the bios and i can't seem to gain access to the voltages, they are currently on auto but
i am unable to change them to manual, i know i'm missing something very simple but i don't want to start trying random options to unlock the voltages.
Any help would be appreciated.

Kebamo, this threw me off as well. The rest of the world uses "greyed out" to mean you can't change the values, but MSI uses "greyed out" to mean it is the default value. Like Aaron said, the numeric + and - keys work fine.

P7N Diamond - Voltages all greyed out? - Please help

Hi I have the following
I have just flashed my P7n to 1.16 bios using the flashing tool. I want to change the Memory Voltage to 2.10v as per spec but all the voltages are greyed out in the bios. Please help.
I am running -
P7N Diamond with a Q6600
4 gigs of Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400C4
8800 GT
and a 550watt PSU
Any help would be most welcome!
Thanks

Sorry Guys,
Just read the thread below, problem solved.
Thanks

Users running the P7N Diamond and QX9650 please weigh in. I need help...

OK, I'll start from the beginning. I had an EVGA 780i mobo, which ran a Q6600 at 3ghz quite easily. Well, I decided that I had money to burn so I ordered a QX9650. It would not work on the EVGA, the cpu voltage and cpu fsb voltage would not adjust no matter what I tried. So, I popped the cpu into my kids rig, which has a DFI X38 mb and the cpu worked perfectly, voltages adjusted, multiplier adjusted, etc. During the RMA process to EVGA, I got an MSI P7N Diamond to run SLI with. Stuck the cpu in it and away I went into Vista 64, all happy. I had to bump the memory voltage up to 1.95 volts, but that was it. I then decided to raise the multi from 9 to 10. I set it, warm booted and tested it in Vista. 100% stable. 2 days later, I attempted to turn my computer on. No post. I had to power off/on very quickly to get it to post, at which point I got an error message that the cpu vid had failed or there was a mismatch with the cpu to fsb ratio, hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults. I e-mailed MSI and received beta P05 and it was just downhill from there. I couldn't cold boot at all, stock settings, OC settings, voltages adjusted, it didn't matter. So back to the shipping bios. I got a new beta this morning, dated 2/18, and it was the exact same.
Issues with both beta's:
1. Cannot cold boot.
2. Logitech G15 acts erratically prior to entering Vista.
Things I have tried:
1. Raising Vcore.
2. Raising NB/SB voltages.
2. Raising FSB Terminator voltage.
Nothing helps. MSI simply told me not to OC and run at stock and that there was no problem. Is there anyone else out there that has this cpu and mb? If so, can you post your experience with it and let me know if there is something I am doing wrong or could try?

Below is the actual transcript that I had with MSI on this issue. As far as they are concerned, I don't need to change the multiplier on my QX9650. (Start reading from the bottom up for the actual order of the conversation)
Quote
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Then, there is no problem with the mb.
End User 02/19/2008 There doesn't seem to be any issues with usb while on using the shipping bios, I only see it when I flash to the beta bios'.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 If the stock bios also has the usb issue then try: Have all USB device connected to the rear USB ports that are build onto the mb and retest with all USB header on the mb be removed from any front USB connections or adapter connections and retest. If all steps have been tried and problem still persists then please kindly refer to our website for manufacturer warranty RMA info/request: http://www.msicomputer.com/support/CustomerS.asp
End User 02/19/2008 No change. I cannot even cold-boot at stock settings with this. Also, it still kills my Logitech G15 keyboard randomly. i have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to power up, and that is only after I boot into Vista. Back on the shipping bios for now at stock settings. Please, if you would, keep me informed of changes or progress. Thanks.
End User 02/19/2008 Thanks! I will poat back if it helps or not.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Beta bios v111 attached to this form.
End User 02/19/2008 Is there any other beta bios' that you have that could help? The P05 didn't work out so well, maybe you have a newer one that I could try? It seems odd that it is only on a cold boot that I have issues and not on warm boots. I am willing to try anything you got at this point!
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 Sorry, but MSI did not see any issue with using QX9650 processor.
End User 02/19/2008 So are you saying that as far as MSI is concerned, there is no issue with the QX9650 and the P7N Diamond motherboard? I am not asking you for advice on hot to OC it, I am asking you if you know of the issue and are looking into it to try and correct it. If you do not think there is an issue and are not going to investigate it, then I will be very disappointed.
MSI Tech. 02/19/2008 If there is no problem with standard bios and no OC then you can refer to other website/forum for OC suggestions or settings. MSI does not provide these setting/suggestions since it can cause damage to the components.
End User 02/19/2008 Also, I am unable to use the Dual Core center, as I am running Vista 64. It does not load properly when using this OS.
End User 02/19/2008 As of now, it boots and runs fine with the shipping bios and no OC. But, why would I have paid such a high premium to get a QX9650, that has an unlocked multiplier, if I cannot use it? Is this strictly an issue with the newer 45nm Intel processors or is it something else? If not being able to use my cpu's unlocked multiplier is "ok", then I may return the board for a refund.
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 What is the problem when system uses the standard bios and not OC?
End User 02/18/2008 Is there a fix on the way or is it just a problem with my hardware? I have it back on the shipping bios and it is at least cold-booting now, as well as my G15 is working. I upped the NB voltage a hair above auto, maybe this has somethinng to do with it?
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 Use the standard bios and use software to OC: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1372
End User 02/18/2008 I was way too quick to say everything is OK. I now have cold boot issues aplenty. 9 times out of 10 it will not post on a cold boot, but will warm boot. I have to power off then on real quickly to get it to post at stock speeds. Also, my Logitech G15 started to act erratic with the P05 beta. I am back on the shipping bios until I hear from you.
End User 02/18/2008 Thanks you for the beta. I flashed to it, cleared the cmos and set everything back up and now I have a new problem. Even though I have disabled the EIST function in the bios, it still seems to be on. i am using cpu-z version 1.44.1 to monitor the multiplier and it randomly shifts between whatever I set it to and 6. It is even doing it when the system is loaded, ie playing games. Please, help!
MSI Tech. 02/18/2008 Beta bios attached to this form.
End User 02/18/2008 Everything is stable 100%. But, on my QX9650, I set the multiplier to 10X to run at 10x333=3.33ghz. It was fine until this morning. I turned the computer on and it would not post. I powered down and repowered it up and it siad the cpu vid had failed or errored, hit F1 to enter setup or F2 to load defaults. I entered setup and the multiplier was set back to 9x. I left it there and am ok now. Is there a beta bios that helps out operations with the newest Intel 45nm processors, such as the QX9650?
I have absolutely no issues in Vista itself, it is 100% stable. It is only on a cold boot that I have serious issues. And yes, I got 3 in a row, went to work for a few hours, then came home and bam! No cold boot. Also, I don't know how comfortable I am raising the vcore that much, as 1.21-1.25 is the normal operating range. 1.3625 is aweful high. Now, with the 65nm quads, that is more in the range of what would be needed, but no way should it be necessary to pushh this QX9650 to a meeger 3.33ghz. As far as temps go, I have the processor watercooled, so no worries there. I am away from home now until Saturday morning, so I can't test anything until the weekend.
Thanks alot for the responses!

MOVED: P7N Diamond Overclocking Assistance Please

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114771.0

Bomberh,
My bad...was thinking of the P6N Diamond..the P7N Diamond does NOT have the VTT option in Cell Menu. Just for info, I had .500 volts on my e6750 on stock air cooling and it posted 3600mhz and the CPU temp in bios never exceeded 32 deg C. So, what you have to do is raise the voltage to the CPU to give it a little "oomphh" to get into post and the OS. Your Arctic cooler should be able to handle it..try 1333, increase voltage in cell menu to .375 and see what happens? Up to .500 volts with a good air cooler w/adequate heat paste should be quite safe. You should always stop in bios to check the Hardware Monitor and record what the CPU and System temps are when O/Cing...if you see a steadily increasing temperature you will have plenty of time to pull the plug..lol. Keep us posted. Like Aaron said..it's all about trial and error.

P7N Diamond voltages

After watching some screenshots from ppl with same board showing CPUID Hardware monitor i have noticed that the VIN5 and VIN6 is higher than mine, and i would like to know if anyone of you know what it is for?=)
VIN5 is at 0.10-0.26V and VIN6 is at 0.17-0.38V
I am thinking that the motherboard does not get what it wants, another thing i have noticed is that the I12V thing in bios is not showing close to 12V at all, its alot lower.
I have no idea if it really matters but i still have alot problem with this computer and i dont want to buy anymore
hardware for testing =)

ok, for me it is not that i want to have the real voltages, i am just curious what you that have a working P7N Diamond board have, if you use the CPUID Hardware Monitor, maybe not accurate but i guess its not more accurate for you than it is for me etc, maybe just a waste of time=)
I have contacted both msi and gigabyte and waiting for their answer, have nothing better to do than trying to figure out things on my own =)
Probably wont get anywhere until tuesday or wednesday, it is just so frustrating when i cant solve my problems like sound crackling, monitor goes blank and graphic corruption on
DXVA(hardware accelerated) videos.
Could be that the motherboard/PSU does not supply enough power to the graphic card, could also be a bad driver but then all drivers are bad that i have tested,
seem to give me less crackling with a slower graphic card.
Got a new bios from msi, but then vista activation failed cause of new hardware, and it did not help me in anyway so flashed back to original.
Well i can always help others while waiting, learn alot of all this troubleshooting reading =)

P7N Diamond checking nvram Please HELP

Hello,
I have buy Msi P7N Diamond and it stuck in "checking nvram". I try to reset bios - change memory but i still have the same problem.

Why didn't you just RMA the previous board? If I am reading what you're saying correctly.

P7N Diamond 1333/1066 - Please confirm??

Hi everyone,
I think i know my problem now;
I have a QX9650 that runs at 1333
a Motherboard that only supports up to 1066
RAM at 1066 (regardless of 2 gig or 4 gig)
First of all, I never wanted to overclock anything at all and now I read more forum posts it seems like the 1333 was set for people who don't mind overclocking their RAM modules - Am I correct here?
Also, I have a friend who is in the computer business that keep insisting that this configuration should work - regardless of the RAM and CPU not being 1:1 with each other. Yet I get constant problems with reboots and sytem hang ups... etc...
Would I be better off getting the P7N2 Diamond since it actually has support for 1333 RAM - meaning i'll have to buy that 1333 RAM also, which i am happy to do. I just don't want anything overclocked.
Thanks for hearing me out - Please reply even if it sounds like i'm on the right track - or wrong lol.

FSB=1333 MHz is an effective rating and means 333 MHz real clock speed.
DDR2-1066 is also an effective rating and means 533 MHz real clock speed.
With an FSB clock speed of 333 MHz (1333 MHz effective) your memory would by operating synchronously @333 MHz real clock speed (1:1) which equals DDR2-667 MHz.

HELP! - Voltages for Overclocking Q9450 on the MSI P7N Diamond (780i chipset)

Hey. I fully understand the settings as far as frequencies go, but am a total voltage newb. No matter what I do I cant seem to get a stable vista load up with my voltage settings.
Please help me by providing suggested voltage settings for my hardware.
CPU - Intel Core2Quad Q9450
RAM - 6 gigs of DDR2-800 rated at 2.1V
VIDEO - Dual Nvidia Geforce 8800GT's in SLI
MOBO - MSI P7N Diamond, based off the Nvidia Nforce 780i SLI chipset
My cooling is sufficient, and I have the BIOS version 1.2
I also turned off all of the overclocking not friendly functions, example: spread spectrum, and DOT, ETC....
I am trying to run my CPU at 3.2 GHZ (400 mhz before multiplier)
my settings I want are (as shown in the P7N bios)
System Clock Mode - Manual
FSB clock - 1600
DRAM clock - 800
Please help me by providing the proper voltages for my setup
Everything I need is marked by "???"
CPU Voltage - ???
DRAM Voltage - (already have, its 2.1)
NB voltage - ???
SB voltage - ???
NB Memory reference voltage - ???
DIMM memory reference voltage - ???
Memory terminator voltage - ???
CPU GTL reference voltage - ???
NB GTL reference voltage - ???

adjusting gtl ref. voltages isn't very difficult, but it is probably best to learn the basics first.
So, basically, increase the fsb a little. So, for example, from 1333 to 1400. See if it's stable, if it isn't try bumping up vcore one notch and try again. If not try Northbridge. Then later move on to stuff like the fsb term.
Test stability using prime95, there is a 64-bit multi-core aware version floating around somewhere. Try the ftp server linked to in the "hot use prime95" sticky on here.
Tbh with your OC you shouldn't need to touch any other voltages, or really use the gtl ref settings. What exactly is "sufficient" cooling though? Stock?
*EDIT: on a side note, just so you don't think I'm deliberately being awkward not telling you specific voltages, they wouldn't do you any good. Every cpu/mobo can handle different freq. at different voltages. Also, use cpu-z to check on your actual voltage and make sure you don't raise it beyond 1.3625 (I think that's right, it's 1.36something anyway)
Thanks for the tips. The reason I wanted to jump straight to FSB 1600 is because the MSI p7n is really picky and only likes 1:1 ratios.
My "sufficient cooling" is an aftermarket heatsink, high performance thermal paste, and MASSIVE airflow through my case. If you want specifics, its the Scythe Zipzang
Quote from: AaronYuri on 08-October-08, 09:05:16
CPU Voltage - No one can tell you this.
NB voltage - Depends on what frequency you want
SB voltage - What's your HDD setup?
NB Memory reference voltage - Auto
DIMM memory reference voltage - Auto
Memory terminator voltage - Auto
CPU GTL reference voltage - Depends on speed and other voltages
NB GTL reference voltage - Same as above
FSB terminator voltage - Depends on CPU voltage and CPU/FSB clock speed
SB sleep mode voltage - Auto
PCI Expander PLL voltage - Auto
My recommendation is do some reading. Guessing leads to dead hardware.
6GBs smells like mixing modules... Or do you have 3 modules?
First of all, I already stated the frequencies that I wanted in the top post, and fairly clearly at that.
CPU shouldnt be too hard to figure out, as there are very few to choose from. I'll try to get back to you on that one
I have 5, 7200rpm SATA 3.0 drives. It sometimes runs with only 4, as one is a hot swap.
My ram IS mixed, unfortunately. I'm using 2x 1gig sticks, and 2x 2gig sticks. However, both sets have heatsinks, and are rated at 800mhz, 4-4-4-12, 2t, timings. (2.1v)
I AM running them in dual channel.
If this helps you suggest voltages please do, If not, then I will just have to start trying using nihilkrist's suggestions.

P7N Diamond Problem or VGAs Problem, Please help!!!

I have just purchased a P7N DIAMOND Mainboard. I hope it can support me to run 2 Giga 9800 GX2. Unfortunately, there was a problem, and I am not sure whether problem comes from mainboard or the VGAs. The problem was that I pressed the power button to start up the mainboard, but my LCD did not show anything except darkness. I wonder that my mainboard is not ready to support for 2 9800 GX2 at the moment. Therefore, I took one out and left one installed on the motherboard but the problem still occurred. The list below is my specification.
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
Mainboard: MSI P7N DIAMOND
PSU: Cooler Master Real Pro 1000W
Processor: Dual Quad Q9300
RAM: 2GH OCZ, bus 1066 (Nvidia SLI)
VGA: 2x9800 GX2 1GH (Gigabyte)
Please help me to solve the problem. Thank in advance.

Sorry for my English. Yes, there were some led lights which indicate that my mainboard was successfully started. The lights in single 9800 GX2 also turned to green. I am pretty sure that I have connected all of the power supply to the mainboard and the VGA. But the mainboard did not show the boot screen or anything else but darkness. Too bad...

Problem with p7n diamond please help

i have a new p7n diamond
i connect the power supply plugs, hard drives, video card(n260gtx new too), etc
when i push the power button the processor cooling fan run but the pc do nothing
don't gave me any beep from a bad connection
nothing
it just don't start
other thing
when i plug the video card power, the video card cooling fan don't start yet
please help!
basic from my PC
intel core 2 quad
2 hard drive 500gb
4g ddr
n260gtx 896mg

Dadilo, you have gone to some length but sadly no positive result, but at least you have cleared some of the ifs and buts. i have looked at your mobo bios even so it says it supports your cpu q6600 it seems there has been a few updates (see links, particularly please pay attention to the pointer in pictures). you have these options left to you.
1- put the pc on it's side and take the 240 volt plug out (no power what so ever) and clear the way from any cables etc.. and remove the mobo battery with a Small screw driver (push the clip to one side the battery pups out) and hold it in your Palm for ten second or so then put it back and put everything back make sure the single memory is firmly in place so is the graphic card. then connect the power and all cables etc the power the pc.
2-your last option before you give up is try another cpu on the mobo preferably core 2 duo rather than quad and if you get it working your next move is to update the bios and i do not know how good you are in updating bios???. if none of these works then sadly the mobo is faulty in my opinion but i may be wrong :

P7N Diamond + Q9450 - No go past 3.0GHz

My goal for this processor is around 3.4GHz since that is where I had my e6750 but I would love to see 3.6GHz. Unfortunately, I can not seem to get this thing to POST over 3.0GHz (1500MHz/375*8). For voltages I have set the VCORE at 1.25v, NB at 1.375v, memory at 2.1v, and FSB at 1.23v. I have tried setting the FSB at 1550, 1575, 1600, 1610, 1625, and 1650MHz with the same result every boot: a blank screen with no beeps whatsoever. Can someone please give me some tips and/or post their settings for this combo?
Thanks,
Joe

I am very curious if there's a few 'standard' settings I can try out to get my system oc'd to say 3.2Ghz (I'm not wanting to push the system):
MSI P7N Diamond mobo
Q9450 Quad-core processor at 2.66Ghz (stock)
4Gb OCZ reaper DDR2-1066
Antec 900 case
Antec Truepower Trio PSU - 650 Watt
MSI NX8800 GTS 512Mb videocard
2 SATA HDD's
2 DVD-rewriters
I've read all of the threads pertaining to settings people have used for which overclocks they've been trying but sadly I found them all lacking specifics for their setup.
Some mention a working setup, but forget to mention what speed those settings give exactly, others only give a few of the settings that seem to trouble them.
Is anyone here able to provide me with what exactly I need to change where, with the above info, and knowing I have the 1.2 BIOS from MSI - AMI, through the MSI LiveUpdate tool.
I am very aware it's not cookie-cutter and what might work for 1 person might not work for the next, but ballpark-values are fine (min-max settings, ...).
Edit : running XP Pro SP3
Many thanks in advance.

memtest and sticks are perfectly fine.I have the latest video drivers(185.20) and other necessary drivers are also installed.Disabled all unnecessary items in BIOS on the motherboard
like spread spectrum,eist etc and since i came to know from other threads about the video corruption issue,i updated the bios to 1.2B1 still the problem persists.the system is completely unpredictable as it simply locksup with the audio goin into an infinite loop with the video still.I hav everything running at stock speeds includin CPU,NB,DRAM all set to auto.
My memory timings are 5-5-5-18 with command rate 2T at 1.8V.CPU,system and GPU temperatures are normal.Please help me as i am not able to hav a stable system.Suggest any remedies for this issue.
thanks

ok i will up the CPU and NB voltages as u specified and lets hope its the end of this problem and i hav disabled the spread spectrum in the bios before only..
well as per the CPU-Z here are the list

Wat is the next step??
thanks
PS:Can u tell what u voltages u hav set for the CPU and NB in ur board for now??

P7N Diamond board won't post

I have a P7N Diamond board. About 3 weeks ago, I had more and more trouble with the computer. I thought it was a memory problem, because it failed Memtest. I initially had Mushkin memory and bought Crucial, specifically compatible with the board. It worked briefly but then failed to boot. I tried the Mushkin memory again and had some smoke, the memory got hot, and after that the board failed to post. Thinking it was a problem with the motherboard, I sent it in and received an RMA today.
I set up the new board with the Crucial memory that I had. I am fairly certain it is wired correctly, but the system fails to post, though it does turn on with all the fans. Where should I go from here? I have a Intel Core 2 Duo processor, E8400 processor, Zalman fan, compatible Crucial 2 x 2 memory.

Please provide links to the datasheets or manufacturer's product sites for your memory modules.
For futher testing:
Please use one memory stick only (!) and make sure it is not running faster the DDR2-800. The voltage should not exceed 1.95V for now and Spread Spectrum should be disabled.
Quote
although it said on the memory that it was 2.0/2.1 volts.
Such standards do not exist. DDR2-1000 or DDR2-1066 at that voltage level is an overclocking/overvoltaged rating. Such settings are not necessarely stable.
Quote
After that, the computer would recognize the speed on it as 800, although both the memory and the board say they support 1066.
DDR2-800 modules that need to be overclocked and overvolted to meet the promised ratings, are not real DDR2-1066 MHz modules (7-7-7-x @1.8V). With such sticks, stability problems are always lurking behind the corner.

Vcore/VID P7N diamond

On my P7N Diamond - Q9450 C1, bios 1.4. I have my VCore in the bios set to +.025, Everest CPU physical info says Core Voltage 1.100 - 1.212 V. In Everst overclock it says VID 1.2125, which is what Core Temp says. They all say my core voltage is 1.21.
So am I really at +0 when I have my bios set to +.025? Is it undervolting at default? Does that mean if temps are sane I can safely crank it up to +.05?
Happy black friday
Edit: H/W Monitor in bios also says core voltage is 1.2

Quote from: Jack t.N. on 28-November-09, 18:36:06
What value do you get if you keep the setting @+0.0000V?
Good question. I will have to check that out.

P7N Diamond heat issues

I got my GTX 275 FTW in yesterday and while my rig is pretty screaming now, I'm having some heat issues. My profile contains all my specs and settings. I was hitting temps of up to 66c or so on my CPU when playing Grid at 1920x1080 with full AA/AF turned on yesterday. I've got a Cosmos 1000 case, which is quite silent, but not the best at moving heat, although it has a good number of fans.
I installed Nvidia Precision tool and set my fan to 70%. I'm hoping that helps some. Is there a way to crank up the fans any with the P7N diamond mobo? I've checked speedfan and it shows my CPU fans at 100%. I'm not sure about PSU or case fans and if there is any way to crank them up some. Any advice on maybe cooling it down some? Also, any suggestions on maybe tweaking my bios settings? I had a hell of a time getting the thing to run stable, as I had to OC and crank up the voltage to get the thing to even work out of the box. Thanks!

Well, this temperature limit is not defined for the Core Temperatures, but actually for the so-called "TCase" temperature (temperature measured at/in the geometrical center of the CPU's own heatspreader). There is no sensor there, so you can't really measure it anyway.
The limit for the Core Temperatures (TJunction) is much higher (Core Temp should show you the TjMax/TJunction value). It is usually around 95-105°C for a Quad Core processor.
Thanks for the info. So what would you think is a good "max" Core Temp temperature to go by before worrying? Obviously you would prefer to stay well below the TjMax value I would think... Also, what about GPU temp for a GTX 275 or do you know? I really appreciate the feedback by they way. It helps a lot.
I have also been worried about some of my bios settings, but have been unable to move to a new bios because I'm not sure how to convert the % based values to the more meaningful ones used with later revisions.. but alas that is another topic in and of itself.

P7N Diamond Voltage info please
