P7N SLI Platinum and power consumption?

In few day I'll get a Msi P7N SLI platinum to replace my Gigabyte P35,I would like to know the power consumption for 750i? Is lower than 780i?
You can see in the picture the 780i 48W and P35 only 16W So big different!!!

A quick Google search pulled this article. Not sure if it helps you any, but here you go...

MSI P7N SLI Platinum CPU Power Socket

I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum and I just noticed I dont have a 8pin power plug on my ATX PSU ( this PSU is in my AMD rig)
I've just had a go of trying out my MSI P7N SLI Platinum board as a computer shop said just insert the 4 pin plug you used on your AMD board near the CPU..
I questioned him about it leaving 4 sockets bare, he said it would be fine..
Well I've tried booting up the rig and I get nothing on the screen (No Signal ) checked all sockets (graphics card, cpu)
I do get a little red and blue light on the board and the CPU fan and graphics fan are running fine,, but no signal...
I'm using a Intel Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz Processor Socket 775 which I know is fine,,,
Any views on this "you can use a 4pin plug on the 8pin CPU power socket " ?
Could this be the reason my rig is not booting ?
THanks

"Any views on this "you can use a 4pin plug on the 8pin CPU power socket " ?"
Yes you can. Make sure that 4pin cable is connected properly at correct side of 8pin socket.
"Could this be the reason my rig is not booting ?"
Nop. You can plug 8pin CPU cable if you want to test opposite Should boot with both 4 or 8.

MSI P7N SLI Platinum and OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition

Hello,
I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum nForce 750i SLI motherboard and I would like to inquire if it is fully compatible with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition memory? Firstly, I do not seem to get the correct timings with the default settings, speed is not very good, after 5 hours of running Memtest86+ there was 30 errors. I have never had the memory crash and games seem to run fine, but the memory feels much slower than it should be. Is the memory supposed to work fine with this motherboard and I'm just imagining everything? I don't know if I'm also supposed to be worried by the errors Memtest86+ returned?
Thank you in advance for any help.

If memtest returned errors, yes
Well, there does not have to be a problem with the memory just because it returned errors. There could be many other explanations why there are errors.
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 07-September-08, 08:04:45
Jacobl, please post full system specs. Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of the details you should provide.
How many modules of what capacity do you have? What are your current RAM-related BIOS settings?
If you have more than one stick of RAM, please test each stick seperately with memtest86+ and see if the errors are caused by one of the sticks only. Otherwise there is no way to tell if there is a compatibility problem or just a faulty memory stick.
Please post a link to the OCZ product site and also a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" tab.
I have this memory: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_sli_ready_edition_4gb_dual_channel.
This is the rest of the components as instructed by the forum post you linked to:
Intel E8200
MSI P7N SLI Platinum
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition 4GB Dual Channel
Gigabyte Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI
500GB Western Digital SATA
SATA DVD burner
Windows XP SP3
Antec 500W PSU
I usually troubleshoot components step by step - eliminating all possible reasons until I have found the solution. My first step was to post here to find out if there are any known compatibility issues with the motherboard and memory. I adjusted the memory timings with a slight overclock because the motherboard did not load the default timings by default. I will start by adjusting the BIOS settings, check if the memory is inserted into the right DIMM slots and then test the memory sticks one by one. But to answer my own question: I think the motherboard and memory should have no compatibility issues and it must be something else.
Quote from: Freestate on 07-September-08, 23:06:36
I have the OCZ 6400 Fatal1ty modules 2x2 GB that is very similar of the ones you ask.And they are running perfectly but i must set the epp latency and voltaje values in BIOS! The simple modules of ocz are in the memory compatibilty list i thought that the SLI and Falal1ty modules are just the same with a little boost.
I had to set the right timings also. As far as I know, the SLI and Fatal1ty modules are probably the same, just with a little boost. I think it would be very strange if a module with the name "SLI-Ready Edition" and a Nforce 750i motherboard would not be compatible together.
Anyway, any other advice on what steps I should take? I assume by now that the motherboard and memory should work together without problem. Sorry if I started out bad by not following the posting guidelines on the forum.

P7N SLI Platinum - No power with the 8-Pin connector

Been running the system since 03/2008 ... Around 6-8 months ago, I had a problem where the PC wouldn't power on anymore, and I replaced the power supply with a new Corsair 650W PSU.
PC has been used every day, no issues.
Today (a few hours ago) the system just shut down. When I try to power the system on again, none of the fans spin up... They start for a fraction of a second (like 1/10th of a spin) but everything stops. The red light on the motherboard stays on. After turning off the power supply and turning it back on, everything will try to turn on again for a fraction of a second, then nothing.
I thought maybe it was a power supply issue again, so looking at the Corsair website, they suggest testing the power supply by using a paperclip to connect the green with a black wire and when I did that, the fan in the power supply runs. I disconnected power to EVERYTHING (case fans, disks, DVD drives, video card) except the 24 pin and 8 pin motherboard connectors. Still won't power up.
I started searching for other people with similar issues and found a few cases of the exact same problem (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=132509.0;prev_next=next). Reading what they did, I turned off the power supply, unplugged the 8-pin connector from the motherboard, and turned the system back on. Now the motherboard powers up fine! CPU fan starts spinning and everything. Except the processor isn't going to work without that 8-pin power connector, right?
So is this a motherboard problem? Any suggestions on how I get this fixed?

Yes, around 6-8 months ago, the old power supply stopped working. Smelled like an electronic fire or something in the room... So I was sure that was the problem.
I tried plugging the power supply in to my second computer, and it didn't work there either. So the power supply burned up or something. I replaced it with this new Corsair...
Unfortunatly, my second computer is an AMD, or I could check the CPU to see if it would work. I could try the power supply from the 2nd machine to make sure it's not the Corsair power supply, I guess. But if we can't limit it to motherboard without testing the CPU, then I'm probably out of luck.

MOVED: P7N SLI Platinum and Promise Fasttrack TX-4660

This topic has been moved to Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad boards.

if the on-board sata controller is set to RAID I receive a "Not enogh space to copy PCI option ROM [04:00:00]" error and the system boots normally from SATA. I receive no other messages for the Prmise.
Quote
there is not enough space in the MB BIOS to load the TX4660 BIOS.
This is not about there not being enough space in "BIOS". It is about reserved address space in system memory. Have a look at this:
I have marked the reserved address range for Option ROMs in red (it is here labeld as "Add-In Card BIOS and Buffer Area"). The space is limited to 128KB and this limit cannot be changed because of general x86/PC compatibility guidlines that exist since the early DOS days and still exist today.
This Option ROM Space that is reserved within a limited address range within system memory (128KB). All invoked option ROMs have to fit in there (onboard RAID Controller Option ROM, your TX-4660 Option ROM, Video Card Option ROM, USB Controller Option ROM etc.). They will, of course, not fit into that designated 128KB window and that is why you get this message:
Quote
Not enogh space to copy PCI option ROM [04:00:00]
Quote
- BUT! If you disable the on-board USB controllers and raid the TX-4660 BIOS is loaded and runs perfectly
- I've finally added a third party USB controller and the system is still working...
Well, it looks like you already found a workaround then.
You could also check for a firmware update for your Promise FastTrack TX-4660, perhaps a different firmware version will reduce the size of the invoked Option ROM.

Overclocking with P7N SLI Platinum and Q6600

Right now, it's "somewhat" stable at 3.6 GHz.
Here are my voltages:
CPU 1.4v
Memory 2.0v
FSB VTT 1.4v
NB 1.4v
After about 20 minutes in Vista and doing superPI I get a BSOD.
Can anyone tell me what I should raise for it to be completely stable?
By the way, I get 57 C under full load.
EDIT: I raised my CPU voltage, FSB, and NB voltage up one step. Has been running for an hour now and have run SuperPI various times and 3DMark06. I don't particularly like Prime95/Orthos but I may try it later.
Max temperature - 62C (one core, others 58C)
Idle - 48C

Quote from: polishedcar on 16-March-08, 03:39:19
Update:
Seems completely stable with these voltages
1.44 CPU
1.450 FSB VTT
1.44 NB
Temperatures are about the same
48 Idle
60ish Under full load
How long do you guys think this CPU will last me at these temps? Should I be concerned about anything? Also, I scored 17,676 in 3DMark06.
Run Prime95 ver 25+ on small ffts for about 20 mins and watch your temps. (a "true" full load on all 4 cores) If you stay under 65c on that the chip will be fine 24/7 (but to be honest I don't think your gonna be close to low 60s under a real full load with a 48c idle)

P7N SLI Platinum and Q8300 quad core

hey people,im considering buying this board,but most of the latest quad cores arnt on the cpu supported list.does this mean it wont work?im looking at the Q8 range,but could get a Q9400

Shows a Q8200 so I don't see any reason why Q8300 wouldn't work. Basically they are Yorkfields with the L2 cache cut down to 4M.

Same problem is occurring as outlined in the following threads:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119615.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120513.0
I've carried out the same out-of-box tests indicated in 119615.0 without success.
Question:
Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use? If yes, kindly outline the necessary steps to be carried out and please point me to the correct BIOS upgrade link for this configuration. If all else fails, MOBO can be exchanged but if BIOS can be upgraded via this method, I prefer this approach. I don't have access to an alternative CPU, so that approach is far less than ideal. Thanks for your assistance.

Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use?
Yes, in theory it is possible to try an AMI BIOS Recovery Flash. However, in case their are other problems that are not visible because of the current problem, it is rather risky. If there is a memory problem or something similar that is currently undetected, the system may crash during flashing and your board will be rendered useless.
Quote
f yes, kindly outline the necessary steps
What you need:
- you need an internal floppy drive (properly connected to the board and 100% intact)
- you need an empty & formated floppy disk (make sure you check it for errors before you use it)
- you need a PS/2 Keyboard
What you have to do:
- download the latest BIOS-Archive file from here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
- extract the BIOS File (e.g. A7380NMS.120), rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM [not AMIBOOT.120.ROM] and copy it to the floppy disk
- insert the prepared floppy disk into the floppy drive attached to the P7N SLI Platinum and Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
- start the system and hit CTRL + HOME to force the system into recovery mode
If that does not work, try a different floppy drive & disk. Don't complain is the system crashes during flashing if the recovery flash starts (system stability is your responsibility).
If you can't get the recovery routine to start and read the AMIBOOT.ROM file from the floppy disk, you need to install a supported processor.

P7N SLI Plat. and memory settings

Hey guy! Again, great forums! Thanks for all the help. Noob question coming up.
I have a couple of questions about the P7N SLI Platinum and memory settings. Oh, before I begin, let me say that I bought this stuff as part of deal, and ended up with the 1066 ram.
I have a few options under my belt, and I don't know which would be the best. I'm also looking for some kind of software to test RAM speeds; test between MHZ and timings performance? Does Sandra do that? Anyone know of any other programs?
Some recommend that I run 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio (looks like the most favored), but some say some boards can do better if everything is running as fast as it can, and not to worry about the ratio.
So which is it with the P7N, which is a 750i chipset?
Here's the rest of the situation:
I have a set of 2x2GB DDR2 1066 5-5-5-15; 2T @2.1v.
I have a Q6600 2.4GHz @ 3.0Ghz (1333x9) OC-ed.
I have run this memory at 1066 on this board with no hitches (overclocking the board essentially, but it handles it like a champ)
I can also run it at 800; but I have not tried tighter timings on this.
I can run it at 667 and lower timings to 4-4-4-14; 1T with no problems (so far). This gives me a 1:1 ratio as well.
This is what I am running right now.
What should I do with this board and this CPU? Should I keep 1:1 and tighten timings? I don't know if I can go below 4-4-4-14; I haven't tried yet.
Or should I run at 1066 with the stock timings?
I have been reading, but I keep hearing conflicting information (though I will admit, it's hard to find info that is very recent; articles varied from '06-'08) Some say 1:1 is best, others say that it's not necessary these days, with modern boards?
The different performance preferences also seem to vary from chipset to chipset? Is that correct?
Thank You very much for helping a lost noob!

Remus this is no bulldash, i had two 1GB DDR2 1066 cl5 1.8 volt and i sold it on ebay a week ago for £21.00 . i used it on my p6 which would take only ddr2 800 (it ran at 800mhz 1.8 volt but these were not suitable at all in terms of stability) and also on my asus which would take ddr21066 but only after overclocking fsb but keeping the default voltage at 1.8volt. those who say ddr2 1066 1.8 volt does not exist should review their comments. i believe crucial does ddr2 1066 1.8 volt and also ddr2 1066 2.1 volt
here is the proof of ebay

http://s240.photobucket.com/albums/ff177/kourosh22/?action=view&current=ScreenShot076.jpg
a memory has an oscillator and we refer to them as 800mhz or 1066mhz. because memory sticks have 240 terminals or pins for transfer of data in order to be able to increase the rate of transfer not only the oscillator speed has to be increased other parameters has to change.
DDR2 1066 1.8 volt is a memory which it's oscillator oscillate at 1066mhz when 1.8 volt is applied to, it's terminals with cas latency 5 or Cl5.
DDR2 1066 2.1 or 2.2 volt is a memory which it's oscillator oscillate at 1066mhz when 2.1 or 2,2 voltage is applied to it's terminals otherwise it will oscillate at 800mhz. these kind of DDR2 1066 are referred to as DRR2 800 overclocked.

P7N SLI Platinum Unstable with over 2GB ram and/or dual channel memory on.

Hello need some help or to report something to MSI regarding blue screens, freezes when booting Vista 64 (SP1 + all fixes installed) with more then 2GB ram. Single channel mode works (either 1 stick of 2 GB or 3 sticks of 2GB) and is rock stable. Booting with 2 x 2 or 4 x 2 yields instability and blue screens.
I read over Microsoft's hotfix KB929777 however it appears this patch was applied during SP1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929777 - when I attempted to apply this hotfix I got the message this update does not apply to your system.
Memory tested in other gaming system using 4 sticks of G.Skill 1066 DDR2 ram and still have the same issues. Other forums like Evga.com, Tom's hardware and 411overkill.com tend to suggest some problem with this new bios version 2.0, written by Nvidia. Some others mention possibly an Nvidia nforce driver issue.
Therefore, under duress during testing - with 1 stick or 3 sticks of ram, all tests perfect and passes all stability tests, good marks in Sandra, plays any game. With 2 or 4 sticks of ram, very unstable won't stay up but for seconds.
Any ideas? (Tested 7 ways until Sunday!)
My other rig, rocks solid and stable with Vista 64.... It's the Evga new mainboard 780i with triple SLI (132-CK-NF78-A1), 8gb of Gskill 1066ddr2, MSI 8800GT (x2 sli mode) Q6600 @ 3.2 ghz - Raid 0 on dual WD caviar 640 gb/sata 3.0gb/sec. Seasonic 700w p/s. 8gb of memory and not a hiccup. Ram 2.0 volts, cpu @ 1.36v. Will handle the memory from both systems with out fault.
Considering I can swap memory back and forth and confirm it's not the sticks, swap graphics boards (own 3 of them!) and rule out that....
Fyi. Any help is appreciated!

Dump question, but have you pickup the correct update e.g. for 64bit? ==> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=91672C7C-614B-404C-850C-377541E93C18&displaylang=en
"This comes inside SP1 for vista 64, as noted with my other system during the build. "
Better double check it.
Install all four memory sticks and do a memory check with >>Memtest86<< 1st, ensure that no error(s) will comes during testing.
Also how about that?:
Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 07-April-08, 23:55:36
Remove your OC then see how its goes.
"When the system boots in single channel mode (only 2 or 6gb of ram meaning 1 or 3 sticks installed into the 4 slots) its' rock stable. When it boots into dual channel mode (2 x 2 sticks or 2 x 4 sticks) extemely unstable. "
That means, timings are too tight, or they need a bit more vcore help, or some of the memory stick has failure.
"MSI P7N SLI Platinum - MS-7380 - Bios 2.0 on Vista Ultimate 64-bit - all updated."
That BIOS is not for your board, you should use 1.xx

Run SATA and EIDE HDs (P7N SLI Platinum)

What would be the BIOS setup and cableing to run an EIDE drive as D: when the primary boot drive (C:) is a SATA? [P7N SLI Platinum].
BTW: from an earlier post, new computer up and running- I cloned my EIDE HD on old system to new SATA HD. Installed SATA HD into new system, booted XP CD and ran the Repair (the later one). Booted into Safe-Mode and loaded nVidi Ethernet Drivers, rebooted, reactivate and all is working.

Drive letters are not assigned by BIOS or hardware, but by the operating system. If you install the operating system on the SATA Drive, it should automatically become drive C:. If you want to make that automatism faik-safe, simply unplug the IDE Drive when you are installing the operating system on the SATA Hard Drive,

Help with ram slots on MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM

rig config:
MSI P7N SLI PLATINUM (MS-7380)
bios version: 1.3v
Q6600 quard core 2.66GHz
Zotac modded 9800GTX+ amped version
2x2 Gb DDR2 800MHz Kingston
500 watt (absolute) power supply (taken form an old HP workstation)
windows 7 X64
Everything's on stock setting
Its been almost 1 & 1/2 years since i bought this rig, and from first month itself i have been having problem with the ram. The problem is not with the sticks, its with the ram slots. There are different things that happen. Sometimes when i boot my system:
1) either, it wont start, i.e. no boot screen.
2) It will load upto windows startup screen, crash and restart in an infinite loop.
3) It will load windows, then crash after sometime.
4) If i run any memory diagnostic, it will give errors.
At these times, i take out my 2 ram sticks, tinker with them, place them in different combination of ram slots, try push them in, in a certain way, keep trying until it yields and it boots up again ( generally a process of 1/2 an hr to an hr). After this my system will work fine ( no errors on any memory diagnostic) and boot properly for a week or 2, maybe even a month, but then again the same problem happens. I know for sure that there is no problem with my dimms (have checked them in other system and they work fine), its something to do with ram slots, or memory bus-controller structure.
Recently the problem happened again, though my tinkering didn't help. My system only boots up if i place any of the ram sticks in the 3rd slot (the 1st orange one). It wont work for any other slot and neither will it work if i place both of the sticks together. I have tried resetting my bios as well cmos settings, but it has not helped. My mb is still in warranty, but if i give it for repair, it will be gone for a good month or so, which doesn't go well with me. If someone has any suggestions, or a way out, it will be highly appreciated. Please help!

yes the psu has a single +12v rail with 21A rating, but somehow i don't feel the problem is because of it. When my system successfully boots, it works properly. I can play or work on high performance softwares for any number of hours without fail, which ought not to happen if the psu is bad.
Hmm, you are ignoring the possibility that your PSU is "flaky" (that's a technical term)!!!! You've never had any gizmo where "sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't work"?
If you don't want to buy a new PSU then at least beg-borrow-steal another one and see if your symptoms change.

Well, first of all, I am new here, so hello to you all guys!
I just purchased the p7n yesterday. I had a P6N SLi-V2 before and wasn't able to get over the 3.0 GHz (stable)! I thought the P7N will a much better overclocker but find myself having a really hard time get it over 3.0 GHz again!?
Tried different versions of the bios (1.0,1.1,P04 and now 2.0) with no succes! Maybe anyone can help me out here and maybe share some bios setup? Will really appreciate it

Man, this turns out to be like a disaster :S:S I tried everything and now it won't even be stable @ 3.0 GHz with vcore 1.35, vram 2.2, fsb vtt 1.45, nb 1.4 and SB 1.5 (random reboots like crazy!). I have the intention to get some better OC's going from a p6n sli v2 to this board and it's even doing WORSE??????? The only weakpoint I can think about is my single stick 2GB TakeMS pc6400, but I never go over the stock speed of 800 MHz, so can that still be a bottleneck even at stock speed or even lower?
Any help will be welcome...
I found out the hard way.........if you are not running memory from the QVL list with this mobo, you will have problems with it. I was running mine with team xtreem 3-3-3-8 microns and all I had was errors and corruption when I overclocked. I had to reformat and switch back to the performance bios and now running corsair dominators 3-4-3-9 and this is the first set that can run at 1200 mhz at 5-5-5-18 2T 2.2 v with the fsb at 1600. I 'm using an E8400. I have read that using non approved memory and this board will not overclock properly. The only non approved memory that works in my system is geil ultra 8000's and these are the originals running D9GCT's. For stability you should try OCZ, Corsair, Mushkin, Buffalo, Kingston. I have also had problems with crucial ballistix as I've found most of there modules are in someway defective and or not compatible with MSI and have rma multiple sets. I have a previous post going from P6N FI to P7N and have listed all the memory that I have tried on this board. OCZ and corsair work the best and geil can be used but will not oc past 1142 mhz with stability. I think after a few bios updates this board will be able to use more different types of memory without stability issues.
