P965 Neo and Corsair XMS2 DIMM kit 1024MB PC2-5300U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-667

I have a nasty compatibility issue with my P965 Neo board in combination with Corsair DDR2 memory.
Hardware config:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2x2.13GHz, 266MHz FSB
MSI P965 Neo-F (7235 PCB-V1.1) BIOS V1.50
Corsair XMS2 DIMM kit 1024MB (2x512MB) PC2-5300U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-667) XMS5402v5.7
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 16MB SATA II
Asus Extreme N7600GS SILENT/HTD, GeForce 7600 GS, 256MB, DVI, TV-out, PCIe
Using the Corsair memory at 667MHz (BIOS: auto by SPD) results in an unstable system and a lot of memory errors (checked by memtest86+). If I set the frequency to 533MHz the system is 100% stable.
Anyone else who encountered this problem? I have also tried to use only 1 DIMM for single channel mode, same problem.
Will this issue be fixed in the upcoming BIOS release?
cheers,

@winkel111
strange there are no corsair 5300 only 5400 ?
and cm2x512-5400c4 needs 2.0v but cm2x512-5400c4pro only 1.9v ! so maybe it has nothing to say that my 5400c4pro are perfect ?
how good are the samsungs ?

MOVED: p965 platinum and Corsair XMS2 6400 overclocking issue

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107327.0

Please read this topic. It's a bunch of info, but it will tell you a lot about this board. Your DRAM is not the issue at hand, BIOS 1.2 is. Flash 1.51 beta to overclock stable. CAS Latency 4 is not an option in the current BIOS versions, it gets set to 3. So for the time being it's either CAS 5 or CAS 3.

P965 Neo and Core 2 Duo 6400 Issues

I have P965 Neo and Core 2 Duo 6400 and Win XP SP2 with all mainboard drivers installed. The problem is that the system recognises only one of the two cores...Any idea?
Here is a full report made with PC wizard 2006 [html included in rar]:
Code: [Select]
http://rapidshare.com/files/10863989/pc.rar.html

I had the same problem with my E6300, the only way to resolve was to reinstall windows then both cores were recognised! Nothing else worked.

P965 Neo and IDE options.

Hi people,
My current setup is C2D E6600 and P965 Neo overclocked at 312FSB, (wouldn't go any further), 2*1 GB Corsair PC2-5300 and Win XP pro SP2. I've got a Benq DW1670 DVD writer and i've tried every way to enable the DMA for it so i can write a DVD in less than 1:30 hours ( i know thats a lot of time). I've tried to uninstall the drivers for my Secondary IDE Channel where my writer is found so that windows would reinstall it and fix that without success, i' ve tried uninstalling the writers drivers and still nothing, i even hacked the registry and still nothing, so i thought that it could be the BIOS. Unfortunatelly in the BIOS (version 1.5) i cannot locate any options for my writer nor my writer mentioned anywhere except the boot sequence.
Any ideas where these options can be found?
Also another thing that got me confused, is about RAID. Some people here complain that there is no RAID for this mobo and some others are trying to create RAID. Is it possible to create a strip RAID with this mobo? In the instructions manual it even explains about the different kind of RAIDs. (i am a newbie on RAIDs. Never done one before). Also what the hell is the Jmicron?
Antonis

JMicron IDE/SATA RAID Driver allows raid
Intel ICH8 not support for Raid........... Platinum version supports ICH8R
XP with SP2 will not show DMA mode
You could also try a 40 pin cable rather than the 80 pin..........

Compatibility between MSI i7 boards and Corsair DDR3 RAM kits?

Similar issues from other posters: Thread 1, Thread 2
Are there any known compatibility issues between MSI's Intel i7 boards and Corsair's 1600 DDR3 triple-channel kits?
My brother's machine (which has been discussed here before last time I tried to fix it) is still having trouble, and also uses the same type of RAM as the two threads above. The symptoms are:
1) Occasional lockups, followed by a reboot
2) Inability to POST: the machine will try numerous times, rebooting each time (as in threads 1 and 2), followed (eventually) by the POST saying "the previous overclocking has failed and the BIOS is reset to default settings" - as in thread 1. The machine will then (normally) boot. Reducing the RAM speed increases the chance of a successful boot, but the settings don't stick (presumably they are wiped when the BIOS is reset to the default settings). Cold boots (after the machine has been switched off overnight) tend to be the most likely to fail.
Any ideas what could be causing this, if not an incompatibility with the RAM (in 3-channel mode)? Dropping down to one stick stabilises the system, but at the expense of dropping to a mere 2GB of RAM.

Out of seven MSI X58 boards, none had a problem with Corsair sticks. With the 1600's running at 1066, they should only require default (1.50v) auto voltage. They should also work using settings of 1N 9 9 9 24 without issue. As the CPU IMC only natively supports 800/1066, your particular CPU may have a limitation of working any higher. But, something is not right within the system if it will not run the RAM at 1066. To rule out a bad stick, test with just one in the black A0 slot, & swap it out & test the other two individually. As far as DRAM voltage, if all the sticks check out ok, try raising it to 1.55V. Keep the forum updated on your progress.
Added: Make sure 'Spread Spectrum' is disabled in bios Cell Menu, as well as 'Extreme Memory Profile' if your bios has it listed.
Are they 2GB sticks? (All the threads in question use the 2GB sticks - one 3×, and one 6×)
Back around the time I tried the BIOS flash as the solution, I Memtest86'd each of the sticks individually in the MSI-recommended slot for a single-stick configuration, and each tested perfectly. Part of the advice given at the time was to disable XMP and Spread Spectrum; they already were.
Whilst I can't be certain that the RAM is the problem, at least three threads on this board now are using 2GB Corsair 1600 sticks and having strikingly similar symptoms...
I'll try investigating the voltages later today. Thanks!

P965 NEO and Windows 7 compatibility

Hello everyone
I would like to know if my MSI P965 NEO motherboard is compatible with Windows 7. I've read on the website that it is certified with Windows Vista, but not any mention about Windows 7.
TIA

I have a P965 Neo motherboard and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. It works without any problem.

MSI P965 Neo and Noctua NH-U12F or Scythe Infinity 1000

I'm running MSI P965 Neo as the title says and now when I've began O/C:ing I need a better cooler than the Intel Stock Fan for my E6600. Anyone knows if you can fit a Noctua NH-U12F or Scythe Infinity 1000 without any space problems on this motherboard?

P965 Neo and core 2 duo issue

I have a P965 Neo
Vista x64
Intel Core 2 Duo 2200
4Gb Ram
ATI radeon HD 3650 512Mb
Core 2 duo processor seems to run a lot warmer than I think it should, both idlling and running high demand things (like games). Real Temp show the cores running at 83degC at times when CPU has been running at or close to 100% constantly. SpeedFan also shows high temps, and I have tried to control the fan speed using this program, but the max RPM of the standard Intel fan is approx 2000RPM, which I think I have it running at constantly.
I have just bought and Arctic Freezer 7 to cool it a bit more, but Im hoping someone has some help re some BIOS or other settings I can tweak to remedy this. Dual Core Center doesnt run on Vista x64 (I think), so I cant use that for anything.
One point I did notice was something about the CPU and 550MHz in the BIOS - offhand I cant remember what this was (Im at work now).
The RAM seems to be running at 800MHz, and the FSB is 200MHZ (ie not over or underclocked). I dont see any option to adjust the CPU Multiplier if this is a solution.
I hope this gives someone enough info to help! If you need anything else I can post it when I get home.
Firstly - apologies if this has been answered or is a stupid question - Im working my way through the forum trying to find answers, but nothing yet.
Im newish to the PC building game, and I know the basics, but BIOS stuff, overclocking etc is still unknown to me

I can say I have not updated the BIOS from whatever was delivered in the box. If it helps I have this info:
Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
That is not your BIOS Version. Check your current BIOS Version by looking at the information displayed on the POST Screen:
In your case it should say: "W7235IMS V1.??"

When you mention, real temp running at 83C, may i know where you're monitoring from?
Cas, he says he is using Real Temp to check is processors Core Temperatures. Real Temp is a Windows based application:
http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/
Quote
I would suggest you to monitor the temp in bios either under hardware monitor or health status
Note that the BIOS does not display Core Temperatures (which are read directly from the registers of the processors). The CPU Temperature displayed in BIOS depends on an analog sensor. CPU Temperature and Core Temperatures cannot be simply compared.

P965-Neo and jMicron issue

Hi,
I have a strange problem with MSI P965-Neo related to jMicron PATA-IDE (a DVD-RW is connected there).
The system is working just fine:
1) the SATA HDD is recognized in the first BOOT phase and the DVD-RW is recognized in the 2nd boot phase (the jMicron boot phase).
2) WinXP-SP2 has no problems at all with both drives (HDD & DVD)
But ...
In case of DVDs (read) I get no more than 1X speed (approx. 1200KB/sec)
In case of CDs (read) I get no more than 8X (approx. 1200KB/sec).
So the max speed for my optical drive is 1200KB/sec.
At this speed it's obviously that I cannot burn CDs or DVDs ...
There're no reading/writing issues with my optical drive (LG H10N) on other systems.
Is someone able to help me ?
thanks

Quote from: antonis
Set the Jmicron in the BIOS to RAID mode. That worked for me.
Didn't work (but thanks anyway).
The problem is solved now (I had to waste enough time for that ...).
The solution: http://www.dieselbenz.info/JMB36X_WinDrv_Beta_R1.17.04.00.rar
It's a beta driver, but this is the answer to all "jMicron on MSI" bugs.
With that driver I was able to write a full CD at 48X and a full DVD at 8X without any error.
p.s.
A little piece of advice for MSI team:
The current v1.5 BIOS and jMicron driver are buggy (talking about MSI P965-Neo) !
You have to solve this problem as faster as you can because is very annoying and you'll lose customers !

Problems with P965 Neo and E4500 Core 2 Duo

Hope someone can help.
I have a gadget for Vista that shows core usage. The second core does not register at all when running a performance test. Also, when I look under "My Computer" at the Properties it shows:
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4500 @ 2.20GHz 1.10GHz
Also, my Windows Experience Index for my processor is only 4.3, seems low for the processor.
Makes me wonder if the second core is toast? Why would it show 1.10GHz? Looking at my BIOS version, I believe it's at 1.5 (I've never updated it since it came out of the package) but the Live Update Online utility says there are no newer versions available. I tried to download the BIOS update off MSI's website, but when I click on the .exe file, it flashes and then goes away. So fast, that I can't even read or see much of anything. The instructions that were included do not cover Vista, and say I have to get a 98/XP boot disk??? When has that ever been necessary for a BIOS update?
Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to the Forum!
BIOS-Updates
BIOS Updates should be done in pure DOS mode. Flashing from a Windows Environment is very risky and should be avoided if possible. Flash your BIOS only if you are aware of the risks of BIOS Flashing. Updating the BIOS should be the last resort in troubleshooting. If you are sure you want to flash a different BIOS use the Forum's USB-Flashing. It is easy to use and prepares the Flash Drive automatically for a DOS-Flash. You can find it here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0

The second core does not register at all
Is your CPU properly recognized in BIOS and during POST?
In BIOS, make sure the following options are properly set:
ACPI = Enabled
(IO)APIC = Enabled
MPS Table Version = 1.4
If you are sure these options are as shown above, force Vista to re-detect proper HAL during startup. You have to find Vista's Advanced Boot Options dialog box in order to do that:

P965 Neo and network connection

Does anyone know how I can get my onboard adapter to connect at more than 10mbps full? If I set auto negotiation or for to 100 full I get no connection. I have a Cat 6 cable.

P965 Neo JMicron ?buggy? in PATA-mode and cannot install newest driver

I have a MSI P965 Neo and a PATA HDD (alone on the IDE-cable)
if I copy some big files over network (via onboard realtek) from 2 other computers in my network:
PATA:
a) files are ok (correct md5), without the JMicron-driver 1.06.01.00 from MSI website, but very slow speed and laggy mouse.
b) files are NOT ok, with JMicron-driver 1.06.01.00, speed is fast, mouse are ok.
if I use a PATA-2-SATA adapter from a friend and the HDD is
a) hooked on JMicron-SATA-Port, with JMicron-driver 1.06.01.00, files are ok.
b) hooked on intel-port, files are ok.
I did some tests with a dlink-NIC on msi mobo, but in PATA-mode on JMicron still errors.
so for the JMicron in PATA-mode there is a bug, in SATA-mode not.
I have hope with with the new driver from MSI site vesion 1.14.00.00 but this one won´t install - got a dialog with "updatedriverforplugandplaydevices: error".
any help ? coz I cannot use the PATA-2-SATA adapter from my friend forever and buying one isn´t a big deal but I paid already for not 100% bugfree msi p965 neo.
update:
filecopy from internal hdd to external usb-hdd, is not a problem, only over network. so JMicron in PATA-mode produces errors if realtek-onboard-chip is under load or an other NIC.
OS was WinXP SP2 32bit, but WinXP x64 has the same problem.
I tried also older realtek drivers but no success.
but Vista RC1 has no errors with filecopy over network with jmicron in pata-mode, with Vista´s default drivers for JMicron and realtek-nic

I got the same problem with "HANGING"... the whole system freezes (mouse and sound for example) when I access my DVD burner, e.g. wenn I insert a new DVD, and/or copy a file like VTS_04_1.VOB to my system (just for testing). I never experienced this behaviour in any PC system before... This isn't acceptable on a 2 gig, 6600 core 2 duo system.
I played World of Warcraft recently, and burned a video DVD from a hdd image file at the same time - which should be blindfoldly managed on a core 2 duo 6600.
on my old system (an amd, single core) the same action would have no effect on the game. But on my new MSI board system, there were major hangs to the game... Just when the system accessed the DVD burner.
More strange appears to me, that accessing the second DVD device, the DVD-R (just reading) doesn't cause any hangs to my system.
I never had any of this occurences in any PC before ... This must have something to do with the Jmicron IDE to SATA2 "bridge".
I got the JMB36X 1.14.01.exe and the latest BIOS
My system specifications read as follows:
1x 3R Systems DCase R202, silver be quiet
1x SilentMaxx 480Watts, 19dB extra silent
1x MSI P965 Neo-F Socket775, FSB800/1066 ATX PCI-E16x
2x CSX1024MB DDR2 DIMM, 800MHz, original Value
1x Core 2 Duo E6600 (2,4GHz 4MB), Box S775
1x GeForce 7900 GTX 512 MB Gigabyte, TV-Out/DVI Retail
2x SATA2 250GB Samsung SP2504C
1x LG GSA-H20L Black Lightscribe, Retail Nero+Kabel
1x Lite-ON DVD-ROM SHD-16H5S-05C, 16X
Hoping there will be a fix soon... I noticed this strange behaviour at once, when I installed Heroes of Might and Magic V (just after I bought my new system) and wondered, why the installation routine takes SOOOO long and consumes one core cpu completely....

P965 Neo overclock 350Mhz FSB. Failed.

Hi.
I use a E6700 wich runs @ 3,3 ghz very good and Infineon 2Gb DDR2-800 RAM .
I was very happy with my mobo and my 333 mhz till i see a guy with - i think it was a E6600, @ 3,6ghz (dont know wich mobo).
1. Whats the overclock record with a P965 Neo and a Conroe, specially with a E6700?
2. Is the P965 Platnium much better for overclocking and can I change the voltage for my cpu?
Thanks for helping

firstly overclocking is not an exact science ... also need to consider is the Nb getting hot ? if not and its barly warm to the touch with out a fan then you may need to replace the aluminum crud msi used and use a good thermal compound as this will allow the hs to disapate heat better , then put a fan on it .. the cooler the better . also what are your temps ? and what type of memory u using ?

P965 Neo bios 1.10 no more 300+ fsb

Hey. I updated the bios to version 1.10 on my MSI P965 Neo and to my amazement the system now freezes when I try to go over 300 FSB. What happened, is it the memory timings bug again? Anyone knows?

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 16-September-07, 19:59:50
Please have a look at this thread first: MOAN GUIDE .... and provide full system specs.
Why don't you just roll back to the BIOS Version you had before, if it more suited to OC your system?
Quote
Going 9x333 = 3GHz wasn't a problem with bios ver 1.6.
Use BIOS v1.6 then.

the cpu temp showed way off temperatures
Which application did you use to monitor your temps?
The most important temps to watch are your core temperatures. Usw Core Temp to monitor them correctly.
The CPU temp reading has most probably to do with the application your were using.
There is no sensor actually attached to you CPU that could measure such a temp.
