P7N Platinum Can't get FSB speed over 350 mHz

Trying to overclock a bit but when I use BIOS, won't let me change multiplier unless some speedstep is turned off. I cant find where in the BIOS I have an option to turn it off. I am using BIOS ver. 1.3. Also, when I use Dual-corecenter with windows running, I can get FSB up to 350 MHz and all is stable but will not go above 350 MHz...I select 400 in the dropdown and it just resets to 350. So, if anyone can let me know how to turn off the safestep and/or how to increase the multiplier in BIOS 1.3 that would be great. I have heard that I can go to 3.7 GHz with Wolfdale 3.0 GHz E8400 and stock fan & heatsink. I have an Antec air-cooled full case with plenty of airflow. At 3.150 GHz, CPU temperature is only 71F when surfing or playing music and doesn't go above 83F when playing my most intensive games. Answers to these three questions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

The automatic shutdown point of your CPU is somewhere around 90-100°C (Core Temperature). The processor will automatically underclock and undervolt itself if the core (!) temperatures are approaching this point. That is how you know when the processor definately running too hot. 50°C is a very safe but also rather conservative threshold. If your CPU approaches the 60°-70°C area and even exceeds 70°C under full load (core temperatures), that is when you should really start to work on better cooling. However, 60°-65°C is still a rather safe range.

Can't get full speed out of Comcast Blast (16/2) when connected to AEBS

I just moved into to a new townhouse that I had prewired with Cat 6 and have subscribed to Comcast Blast service. (No Fios here.) When I connect my Mac directly to the modem, I can get download speeds as high as 16-17 Mbps and upload speeds around 1.5 Mbps at times. However, when I try to connect through my home network (modem > AEBS > Gbit switch > Mac), I'm lucky to get > 4Mbps down and about 1.5 Mbps up. (Download speed is obviously more of a concern.) The AEBS is running v7.2.1 and I confirmed through Network Utility that I'm connected to my network at 1Gb. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hey Paul:
Okay.
This should NOT be happening. Something is obviously awry here. Try checking the cable that is used to connect your Comcast Modem to your Airport Base Station. It may / may not be the problem. Usually however Comcast does not supply high quality patch cords and they're not anywhere near the cat 5 or 5e spec. Forget about Cat 6 being given away by them.
So go buy a handful of patch cords that are spec'd at cat 6. (And get ready to pay thru the nose for them!) Use these to replace all the connections from the Cable Modem to the AEBS and from the AEBS to your Gigabyte Switch. You can get a reading that says you're connecting at gigabyte speeds but if your cables won't run it, then you do not get the throughput that you're looking for. Remember you are going through multiple ethernet ports here (cable modem to AEBS to Switch to Computers.
Also, do you have your Gigabyte capable devices on the GB switch ONLY? No 10/100 printers or computers with slower ethernet ports connected to THAT switch? I know they say 10/100/1000 but generally that's total BS. You'll find that isolating the slower speed devices/computers onto their own switch/hub makes a huge difference. A NON-Gigabyte ethernet device (just like a non-N Wireless device) mixed into the same network can slow down the who network. The solution is to put the slower stuff on a little 8 port powered 10/100 switch of it's own with a Gigabyte UpStream connection to your GB switch. That way the slower devices don't slow your entire network down to a crawl. Don't forget to use a CAT 6 Cable from the GB Switch to the 10/100 switch with a GB Upstream port. Yes. It matter that much. The faster the network goes the less forgiving it becomes.
Also, you said you had the house wired for CAT 6. Did the installers use CAT 6 certified Jacks, Cable, Connectors? Lots of really lousy electricians will charge you for CAT6 and then use the cheaper connectors and jacks. You've got the right cable. But nothing else. And the whole thing is NOT going to work at the maximum speeds until the hardware is all CAT6 and installed correctly.
I paid over $30k to wire the office for CAT 6 and POE for the phones. The contractor used the cheaper cat 5 jacks and connectors. They didn't even terminate the connectors properly. Cost me a fortune in trouble shooting to find the problem and more money/time to correct it. When I took the first guy to court for breach of contract and fraud he said "I didn't know that CAT6 required special jacks and connectors and cable terminations." The judge agreed with me that as an electrical contractor charging that kind of money - he should have known and supplied what he specified. Not what was handy and cheaper. I got my money back. And court costs. And he got fined an additional $50k for the fraud and misrepresentation. So find out what your contractors actually installed. I'd almost bet that somewhere along the way, you're back to cat 5 or cat 3 and don't even know it.
Good luck!

Can I get more speed for free?

I signed up for the 768Kbps/128Kbps plan about two years ago. Now that plan appears to be a higher speed of 1 Mbps / Upload up to 384 Kbps. Can I get upgraded this new speed for free?

It would depend on the local loop from the Co to your location. I had the same 768kbps service before FIOS was installed. It took sometime before they could get the line clean enough for the 1.5mbps. It may depend on the distance. They should be able to run a local loop test to qualify your line. You would need to contact them and they will need to put in a service request to have your line tested and upgraded if available. I incured no extra charge for the faster speed because it was currently priced at what I was paying. Sort of like the FIOS when it went from 15mbps to 20mbps. All I had to do was call and ask.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum - Can't get breakout box to w

Hi, I bought an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum from a friend, and he had lost the driver CD. I connected it and used the drivers I got off Creative's website, and the card works perfectly, but I can't get the breakout box to work. I connected it internally to the card, I don't know what else is left to do. Are the drivers the problem, do I need a specific app to make it work, or is it maybe a connection problem?

Hey!?Big Problem... my break-out-box doesn't work any more, too.... but it is powered on!?There is no possibility to use the mute function, IR-control, CMSS-Control or to do anything else with it... simply dead, although it is powered on. LED is green and at the optical out i have a red one shining. I tried cleansweap and reinstall drivers, nothing changed the situation. Cable are correctly connected, i didn't change the last years. I'm also missing the extended connection possibilitys in my "sound and speakers" options... formerly there where a lot more, now there are only?fi've or six controller bars.WHAT HAS HAPPEND? Is it normal that there are three steps with the CMSS options like: CMSS, CMSS2 and STEREO SOUND? I remember that formerly there was also CMSS3... correct? Maybe this is another wrong thing... Any hints regarding this box and controller problem?Thanks a lot in advance,Alabaster

OVM2.2.2 on HP BL460 G7 and Flex10: unable to get network speed over 1Gb/s

Hi,
I'm trying to setup OVM 2.2.2 on a HP BL460 G7 with Flex 10 module but I'm encountring issues with networking.
The flex10 module let you split bandwidth in 4 parts (8 interfaces (Emulex OneConnect 10Gbps NIC) with redudancy). In our case, we have setup 1 Gb/s for admin, 5 Gb/s for iscsi and 4 Gb/s for vm communications.
The problem is on iscsi and on vm, I'm not able to get speed over 1Gb/s. The driver for the cards (be2net) doesn't let you set anything (ethtool -s anthing : Operation not supported) and I think values I get are wrong. i.e. ethtool eth2 and ethtool eth4 :
Settings for eth2:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Full
10000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: Unknown! (5000)
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Link detected: yes
Settings for eth4:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Full
10000baseT/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: Unknown! (4000)
Duplex: Full
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: g
Wake-on: d
Link detected: yes
Here, I get Supported ports: [ TP ] and Supported link modes: 1000baseT/Full. I guess those values are the ones that limit my bandwidth.
Does someone here managed to use such a setup with good values ? Are the parameters I get reality or only informative. I mean, to get speed over 1Gb/s, should I have the link mode to be 10000baseT/Full ?
Thank You.
Nicolas Di Pietro
PS: driver informations :
ethtool -i eth0
driver: be2net
version: 2.102.518r
firmware-version: 3.102.517.7
bus-info: 0000:02:00.0
Edited by: 871271 on Jul 8, 2011 9:05 AM

Does anybody use such network interfaces ?
I only need the output of an ethtool with a bandwidth bigger than 1GB to see if the value I get are good.
Thank you,
Nicolas

Can't get fsb to 200??

Ok, after some tooling around, I finally unlocked my cpu...It posted at 933Mhz the first time so I know it worked....After changing the fsb to 200 and multiplier to 10, it wouldn't even post, no beep, no nothing...If I back it off to 12x166, it runs like a champ(my highest stock 2.0G cpu score yet!!)...Anyway, I have the RAM set to 1:1 and am using timings 7,2,2,2.5....When I set the fsb to 200 the memory timings change to 8,3,3,2.5...I believe these are more relaxed and should allow smooth operation at a 200fsb?? Has anyone else had this problem?? How can I fix this? I vaguely recall seeing something about a problem with the 10 and 10.5 multipliers on this board...I can't for the life of me remember where or when, but is this my problem?? If it is, will something like 9x222 work instead?? I'm afraid to go messing with it any further, it runs great now, but I just know it could be better...Thanks for the help, and any advice is appreciated...
BTW, I still can't get the %$#*& front side USB to work...Cut which wire? 9 is already empty? Which one goes in my ear?? Man, I'm lost again...Silly

See, Thanks, I didn't know about having to raise the Vcore for an increased fsb...I haven't touched that yet...I will try setting it to 1.7...Right now it is at 1.65, should I increase only slightly at first and try, 1.68 maybe? Also, sorry about the gaming lag!! I play a LOT of BFV and know how frustrating lag can be...I will let you know what happens when and IF I get there...Gonna try it with different memory timings(suggested by Wonka) and raising the Vcore slightly...Is there anything else I should be aware of?? I'm gonna give this a try tomorrow after work sometime...I'll check this post before I get started and after to let you guys know what happened once I have tried it...
BTW, Are you getting lag in Single player games and Multiplayer, or just one or the other?? A little lag is to be expected from time to time when playing on-line..And is it all games, or a specific one or two?? Silly

Can I get an upgrade from 667 MHz to 867 MHz for a PowerBook G4?

I'd like to use my old PowerBook to support an iPod Touch for a family member, but need to install Leopard to do that. I bought a new copy of the OS for this but can't get it to install and now see that I need 867 MHz and have 667. What to do?

The deal-breaker may not be the processor but the lack of USB 2.0 on the older PowerBooks. Newer iPods require USB 2.0 and a 667mHz PBG4 has USB 1.1.
You can use a Cardbus adaptor to provide USB 2.0, like this:
IOGEAR Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus 2 Port USB 2.0 for Laptops
These are getting harder to find as newer computers ship with USB 2.0 capability.
FWIW, I recently bought Leo by calling the Apple Store and installed in on a Powermac G4 1.25Ghz with 1.75G of RAM and a 64MB VRAM video card. It is not very limber compared to Tiger on the same machine, Even if you use the installer hack, I'm afraid you will have an mostly unusable computer.

MX440 - T8X Can't get the card over 2X

I have an MSI MX440 - T8X 64mb DDR vga card. (upto 8X agp)
MSI 694T - Pro Motherboard. (upto 4X agp)
Pentium 3 1Ghz.
512mb memory.
I have installed uptodate bios for motherboard and vga card.
Up to date via 4in1 chipset drivers. (and sound drivers) v.449
tried latest Nvidia drivers and latest MSI vga drivers.
Put "auto" for agp speed in bios setup. (also tried on 4X)
no overclocking at all.
Somehow i had 4X in agp speed on display properties before i upgraded
the bios and drivers.
Can't fluke it out again though...
Please help... It's a shame to have the extra speed and not be able to use
it. (also can you usually test agp on dxdiag?.. i don't have the test button
on there just Test DirectDraw and Test Direct3D)

HockeyFan,
Unfortunately no one from MSI reads these threads, we are all users helping one another.
You mentioned that you flashed the BIOs on the VGA card, VGA cards are not like motherboards and they generally don't require flashing unless there is an exact reason and the manufacturer clearly states the benefit of doing so. I constantly see users using live update to do this and it can often lead to problems.
EDIT **** I overlocked the Title
Ok, Did you save the original BIOS for the VGA card? Try flashing it back to the original one.

Can I get more speed by using external drive?

Hi All,
I have a very old iMac. Here are the specs:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          PowerMac6,3
Processor Name:          PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed:          1.25 GHz
Number Of CPUs:          1
L2 Cache (per CPU):          256 KB
Memory:          1.25 GB
Bus Speed:          167 MHz
I think if I get an external drive and move all my document onto it I can speed the computer up. Is this a good strategy? What should I get that is reasonably affordable?

It is slow when navigating on iTunes or the web -- lots of spinning rainbows. I am using OSX10.5.8. I cannot increase memory anymore than I have. It's at 1.25 GB. I have used all bu 596 MB.
I'm not convinced adding memory will improve performance that much if you have 596mb free.

Click on the CPU tab on the lower half of the window. Make sure the little triangle is pointed down. Make the triangle point down by clicking.
With the down pointed triangle, you will see the apps which are using the most of the processor.
You can gain some understanding of Activity Monitor by looking at it every once in a while. Look at the small graph.

Can I get GPS prompts over Handsfree or Headset profile?

I have a car stereo with A2DP bluetooth and I can connect and receive all audio from my iPhone (including GPS prompts) just fine when I select Bluetooth(A2DP) as the 'source'. The bluetooth source is like any other source such as AM, FM, CD, AUX, etc.
But what I want is to get my GPS voice prompts from an iPhone GPS app to come via the *Hands-free* or *Headset* profile. These profiles override the selected 'source', just like a phone call. That way I can listen to my FM station, Sirius radio, etc. and have that audio stream _interrupted_ by the GPS voice prompt.
I've noticed that playing a Voicemail works this way, so I know the hands-free and headset profile aren't strictly limited to active phone calls.
Is there a GPS app that sends its voice prompts over the hands-free or headset profile, or an app that redirect output to one of these profiles?
Thanks!!

Hello Danmtl,
If what you are referring to is being able to use a Bluetooth headset for Google Maps voice navigation, then you're in for disappointment. Google Maps w/ Navigation is only available for Android devices at this point in time, although there are talks of Google allowing the service to be placed on Windows Phone 7. As for the WebOS lineup, your only options for voice navigation would be either Verizon's VZ Navigator or Spint's Sprint Navigation. Either of those would require that you had purchased the phone specifically from that provider, so no luck for you there.
Looks like we're all waiting on Google to step in for us at this point in time!

You need to erase the hard drive of all files (losing them) and reinstall a fresh copy of OSX. If it Lion or Mountains Lion, your stuck again. You'll need an Apple Store account, credit card and password to download Lion or Mountain Lion OS.
If you successful in reinstalling the OS... who(m) ever owns the computer will have your bu-tt for dinner!

K8n SLI Platinum can't get OS to boot

Linked over from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=97317.0
Greetings - This is linked from the above thread and I was advised to come here to see if anyone could sheed some light on this...
System is:-
AMD64 3500+
1gb of Corsair Low latency 2-2-2-5
2 barracuda 300gb hard drives
K8N SLI Platinum mo-bo (now sadly running in single card mode...)
PSU - Hiper HPU-4S525
NX6600GT TD128E (Newer version)
Forceware - Nvidia Version: 84.21.
Problem is - I have two versions of the 6600GT and the older one will work without a problem - either in SLI or in single card mode but the newer one causes the machine to hang at OS boot - I have tried booting with the card in slot two (running in SLI mode) with the card in slot 1 (running in non-sli mode) and with the newer card in slot 1 (running in SLI) but still the same result - Is it the card, my PCU or a mo-bo problem?!?!
Any advice/help Greatly appreciated!

I have a sony slta55vl. Can I get my movies over to my mac?

I bought this sony camera for the mirrorless tech and the fact that it is light weight for an dslr. But I want to do movies as well as photos and I am concerned that I will not be able to use the hi def movie capacity of the camera because sony and apple don't get along. Is that right or wrong? Will I need to buy final cut pro?

Thanks so much for your assistance. I purchased the camera at Best Buy and took a personal tutorial. During the tutorial is when I was told that I would have issues with getting video clips into iMovie. I am glad to know different and I will go back to the gentleman who was instructing me and let him know that he was incorrect.
