P7N Platinum and Q9550 Overclocking in Bios but not in Vista????

I just got this board and I have done my fair share of overclocking but this is a strange one.  I overclock my FSB on the processor to 355x8.5 and repost and I show 3.018 Ghz in the bios but when I get into windows vista ultimate 64 I still show 2.83 default where it should show Q9550 @2.83GHZ 3.018GHz.  All of the other programs I run (3dmark 06) shows 2.83 as well.  I don't see any difference in 3dmark 06 when going from 2.83 to 3.018 in the bios either 13855.  Am I missing something?  My P6N SLI-Fi showed the information correct when I overclocked the same way with my old chip.

Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< {With power cord removed} after BIOS update?
Have you disabled EIST in BIOS too?

  • MSI p7n Platinum and E2160 Overclock

    This is my first build and I'm trying to get my CPU overclocked to 3.0ghz.
     I've read that the e2160 is capable of 3.0Ghz with stock cooling and voltages. I cannot get mine higher then 2.4 Ghz. I am new so haven't tried anything other then changing the FSB to 1066/1200/1333. 1066 Seems stable, but I could not get a boot with either 1200 or 1333. I tried raising the voltage 1 notch but still no boot at either of the higher speeds. I've read that lowering the multiplier may help, or increasing the voltage more may help, but I dont want to screw anything up so I thought I would come here for some advice before proceeding.
    Ive disabled Spread Spectrum, EIST, I cannot find an option to disable C1E (maybe its the old version of EIST??) I'm not sure what other Bios settings need to be enabled or disabled.
    The board never read my RAM correctly, I had to change the speeds and timing manually to get it to 1066, I copied someone elses settings to get it to 1125 (5-5-5-15 2t) as they claimed it to be Rock solid stable. Which appears to be correct, although I havent used anything except 4hours of COD4 maxxed out at 1440x900 to test it....(no issues). CPU-Z reads my timings at 533.4Mhz, FSB:DRAM 1:2, 5-5-5-15, tRc:22, 2t@ 2.10v(have no idea if that is fast but I dont think so). The SPD tab reads the memory as PC2-5300, but populates with a part number of OCZ2N10661G. Im not sure if this is a problem, but I thought Id put it out there, just in case.
    I'm totally noob about the power supply, which is why I posted all the specs from the label in my sig. I realize it is probably worthless for a Q6600 with 2 8800GT 512 in SLI, but it came with my XION DAZL case and the price was the key to keeping my current system in the budget. I thought it would be good enough to run at least 1 8800 with an  e2160 and I could upgrade later (when I finish my system) if need be. I may have not connected the PSU properly as I just matched up the plugs, and stuck the fans in line with the dvd drive, so I wouldnt have to connect anything to the plugs for the graphic card, except the graphics card itself. Do I need to change my connections, and will this power supply work with 8800GT's in SLI with a Q6600?

    So to get 3.0Ghz?? 333x9 = 1333mhz in bios with my OCZ1066 platinum running at 667mhz.
    I load default settings in bios, then disable EIST, DOT and spread spectrum (still cant find C1E) enable smartfan to (im guessing here) 45C and 85% fan?
    I manually set the ram to 667 then select linked in bios, and take 50 mhz jumps from the CPU stock speed.
    Test it for stability by booting to windows, run Prime 95? for 30 minutes, and then repeat until I hopefully hit the target speed.
    If i run into stability problems then I raise VTT voltage 1-2 notches and test, Then NB 1 notch and test, Then mem voltage 1-2 notches and test. If still unstable then Im at a wall/hole and should set voltages to last known stable voltages and jump 10 mhz at a time to see if it gets stable at higher speeds?? When I max out then I can tighten up my ram timings and try to lower voltages to reduce heat and increase performance. CPU-Z SPD tab reads JEDEC#3 @ 333mhz 5-5-5-19 @1.8v, is this the timings I need to start with for that setup?
    I need to watch my core temps during all of this, Im unsure of what my max temps are with this CPU, there are 2 E2160's listed on intel's sight. CPU-Z says I have the M0 version (knowing my luck this is the inferior one) Intel lists max temps at 73c and 61C Im not sure which is mine, but no smoke came out at 65C under COD4 load, although it was only there about 5 minutes before I noticed and backed it down.
    What I need to know:
    What else if anything needs to be enabled/disabled in bios ver. 1.1?
    Do I manually set the ram in bios to 667 to attempt a 1:1 ratio at 3.0ghz with this hardware? (I have ram set at 1066 now with a CPU speed of 2700.)
    What is a good target for smartfan?
    Are 50 mhz jumps OK when overclocking?
    What stability test should I run while overclocking and how long, before I increase my clock again?
    How do I detect a hole vs a wall while overclocking?
    When raising voltages is there an order that needs to be followed ex. CPU, Nb, mem to achieve stability?
    What target temps should I look for with stock cooling on this CPU 40/60?
    I realize I am asking a lot, that is why I posted what i thought was correct and really just need someone to look it over and make sure Im on the right track and point out any flaws in my thinking.

  • P67A-GD65 B3 Overclocked In Bios But Not In Windows?

    Just got this board last week with a I5-2500. I overclock it manually to 4ghz and it seems to take in the bios. Shows 4ghz. But when I boot into Windows7 using CPU-Z it show 3.8? I disabled the power saving stuff thinking that is the problem but no go. Can't get Windows to see it above 3.8

    Nothing wrong with a solid 3.8. In the days of the P7N Diamond, I would have tried a cartwheel with a handstand finish to get a stable 3.8.

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.
    Regards,
    Ian.

    You iPod has been jail broken.  Unfortunately you are on your own here. I can offer that you need to find out which method and software was used to JB.
    Good luck...you're gonna need it....

    Thanks, Rob

    First off did you go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > And is the correct output selected?
    Any red light coming out of the headphone jack? If so, you'll need to re-set the little switch in there by inserting a 3.5mm jack carefully in & out 20 odd times. Or grab a toothpick (non-conductive) and a flashlight.
    Tried anything else that produces a sound? On restart do you get the chime? Perhaps check into Audio Midi Setup to ensure your output is selected correctly using the cog at the bottom left.

  • I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion.

    I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion. How do I upgrade to Leopard or snow leopard?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

    Hi robgpearce,
    Your issue could be related to the file type or a setting with the file. In the help section of ePrintCenter.com, it goes into details on how the HP ePrint service does not support printing webpages via email at this time, HP is currently developing dedicated solutions to support webpage printing from mobile devices. Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc) need to be at least 100DPI in order to print via ePrint. PGP encryption, digitally signed documents, macro-enabled spreadsheets and password-protected documents are not supported by ePrint at this time and will not print.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

    I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

    If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
    It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.
