P965 Neo support Aeneon 1GB DDR2 800 module???

HI there, i got a MSI P965 New mobo with me... currently running on 1 GB Kingston DDR2 667 Mhz... planning to upgrade to 2 x 1GB Aeneon DDR2 800 Modules... does tis mobo support it??? coz in the manual it stated 1GB DDR2 800 not supported... thanks for expert advice

If I am not mistaken, this statement is no longer part of the manual. At least I was not able to find it in the latest manual on the product page:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=265
In any case: The limitation it mentions do not refer to the memory capacity of a given module (1 GigaByte), but to the implementation/organisation of chips on that module.
Compare the datasheets of the following corsair modules for example:
TWIN2X1024 - 6400 C4
--> http://www.corsair.com/_datasheets/TWIN2X1024-6400C4.pdf
Quote
Implemented using 64M x 8 DDR2 SDRAMs [64x8 = 512 Mbit].
The limitation only applys, if you are using memory modules whose capacity is "implemented using 128M x 8 SDRAMs [128x8=1024 Mbit= 1 GBit].
As long as the actual chips on your 1-GByte-modules are organized as 64M x 8, you should have no problem @800 MHz.

[P965 NEO] Why max memory 8gb but don't support 2gb module?

Why max memory supported is 8gb and has 4 slots, but don't support 2gb DDR2 800mhz module?
The memory is CORSAIR PC2-6400 XMS2 DHX DUAL CHANNEL 2GB.
Sorry with my English.

This is an (Intel!) chipset (memory controller) limitation rather than a board or BIOS problem. Intel states it somewhat differently:
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/313053.pdf
Quote
Supports 256-Mb, 512-Mb, and 1-Gb technologies for x8 and x16 devices (DDR2
800MHz 1Gb technology not supported)
Intel refers to the density rather than the memory capacity/size. Look at this Kingston module model for example:
http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR800D2N5_2G.pdf
Quote
The components on this module include
sixteen 128M x 8-bit DDR2-800 SDRAM in FBGA packages
"128M x 8-bit" refers to the density of the memory chips used on those modules (=1024 Mbit or 1Gbit (1Gb)). There are sixteen of those 128M x 8-bit chips on the module which gives you a capacity of precisely 1024Mbit x 16 = 16384 Mbit (2024 MByte).
A 2GB DDR2-800 module that meets the Intel specifications for the P965 memory controller (512Mbit maximum density for DDR2 800) would need to have 64M x 8-bit components but would need precisely 32 of those chips to reach a capacity of 2GByte. Try to find a DDR2-800 module that can hold 32 memory chips and you will be able to run them @DDR2-800. To my knowledge such modules do not exits (the module I used as an example has 8 chips on each side).
That is where the limitation comes from (it is not an MSI thing).

MSI P965 Neo-F

Hi 2 everyone! I just bought a MSI P965 Neo-F mobo. I intend to combine it w/E6400, an Albatron 7600GT and PC-6400 memory. I have read several posts in this forum but i still have queries about memory compatibility:
1)What is the highest memory voltage this mobo can supply?
2)Will it work with any of the following memory modules:
a)OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Gold GX XTC Dual Channel (2x512MB) link:http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_gold_gx_xtc_dual_channel

Thank u in advance!

Weird thing with the 1.5 BIOS, really: No matter what the speeds are set to, the last memory timing (forgot its name) is always set like this:
BIOS setting (by me) - actual setting (in Windows read out by software)
4-4-4-12 - 4-4-4-20
5-5-5-15 - 5-5-5-23
4-4-4-4 - 4-4-4-12
etc...
What is going on here? I set the memory to 4-4-4-4 now @ 375MHz (750), because those are its rated specs. And it runs in Windows as 4-4-4-12 @ 750MHz.
The system now runs @ these speeds:
E6300 @ 300MHz (2.1GHz)
FSB @ 301MHz
RAM divider: 667MHz
Effective RAM Speed: 750MHz
Tmings: 4-4-4-12
Really, what a weird problem. But since there are no other problems with 1.5 (that I came across so far), I'll keep it. My sister is loving her new PC, and if the mobo doesnt brake within the next 5 years, everything is perfect.

P965 Neo-F Duel Channel Configuration

Hi i was wondering if some one here could help me,
At present i have 2 sticks of 512MB DDR2 800 and was wondering if i could put in an additional 2 sticks of 1GB DDR2 800 to bring it up to 3GB but keep it in duel channel ??
i currently have a P965 Neo-F with bios version 1.6 and a core2 duo E6300

That default 2.1V looks like factory overclocking (and this is not good for your system stability).
To get the best results (stability) in case of "dual-channel architecture" use a pair of DDR2 modules having these default specs:
DDR2-667 with 4-4-4-12 at 1.8V
or
DDR2-800 with 5-5-5-15 at 1.8V
Also, if you need my advice, use Corsair, Kingmax or Kingston.
cheers

DDR2 667 shows up as DDR2 800 for some reason,,

Hi all,
My "problem" is the following..
I just bought myself 2 new Kingston 2GB DDR2 667 memory modules. Thus expanding the memory of my macbook to 4GB's of ddr2 667. Now when i enter the system specs @ " About this mac" the system tells me i am actualy running 4Gb's of DDR2 800 mhz memory..
I thought the white MB881M/n macbook didnt support 800mhz memory..
Now my question is:
Would it be wise to buy 800mhz ddr2 and use THAT in stead of using the 667mhz memory wich the machine is obviously overclocking.
And IF the machine is actualy overclocking the current memory, could it be harmfull? Will it actualy be faster at 800 then at 667? Is the machine actualy overclocking the memory, or is it just a bug in the system showing 800mhz in stead of 667?
I thought the macbook i have couldnt support 800mhz but if for some reason it can i think it would be "wise" to put the "real deal" 800mhz in it..
Cheers

Well, OS X has no built-in capability to overclock RAM. Doing so requires overclocking the bus and that would require special software (I don't think any such software exists for Intel Macs.)
The documentation I have even on the Early 2009 White Macbook specifies DDR2-667 MHz RAM. I don't know why System Profiler is reporting 800 MHz.
Here's my (multi-part) theory, and it's from thinking about all the reports we've been hearing about older generation MacBooks and the newer white MacBooks.
People have been reporting that the lastest (early 2009) white MacBook does actually use PC2-6400/DDR2 800 memory and runs it at native speed. It's not actually "overclocking" anything; it's actually capable of it even if not documented by Apple. It's using the same NVIDIA chipset as the Unibody MacBooks, and they're capable of using PC3-8500/DDR3 1066, so it's not a stretch to believe that they're capable of using DDR2 800. Intel's latest chipsets are capable of using DDR2 or DDR3 modules, but the type is going to be limited to the physical socket type.
All reports are that correctly labelled PC2-6400/DDR2 800 memory doesn't work properly in any of the earlier MacBooks that specify PC2-5300/DDR2 667 except in cases where it's mixed with one slower speed module. One would think that the SPD should contain secondary settings, but that doesn't seem to help it work unless there's another slower speed module that forces the memory controller in the chipset to operate both at the same speed.
A few people who have purchased Kingston (especially the KVR "ValueRAM Series") DDR2 667 modules have reported similar incompatibility as with clearly labeled
DDR2 800 modules. Here's one report:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9507719
My final theory is that these modules are sold by Kingston as DDR2 667 but are in fact DDR2 800 modules. This would A) cause the older MacBooks to not recognize it alone and B) cause the newer MacBooks to run it at a faster native speed.

P965 Neo-F Overclock trouble

Hello ppl. I just bought a new pc and have been trying to overclock it but it gives me all sorts of trouble.
Configuration:
Core 2 Duo E6600
P965 Neo-F
2 * 1GB Corsair XMS2 5300 DDR2 667
Nvidia Quadro FX 1400
I have managed to overclock at 312Mhz successfully and it is in fact really stable, as this computers main job is 3D rendering in Maya. 100% CPU utilization. I' ve seen people though saying that to overclock up to 333MHz which is the limit of this motherboard is not difficult at all. I have managed to overclock up to 320 but the computer is not stable at all. Anything more than that and the PC will restart before entering windows.
The current setup is at 312MHz with RAM set to 667 5-5-5-15 ratio 4:5 overclocked to 780 Voltage 1.95
I have tried to overclock more in different configurations like ratio 1:1 4-4-4-12 and voltage up to 2.1 without any success.
And my question is. What i'm doing wrong? Ive seen many people having a stable system at 333 easily with the exact same setup. Am i missing something? The temps of the cpu as shown in the BIOS, which is btw version 1.5, are less than 40C so i don't thing heat is an issue.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Antonis

To be honest, it may just be your luck. I think this board in it's current revision / BIOS is complete rubbish.
I have had good experience with MSI products in the past, most notably my K8N Neo 2 Platinum. I expected the same level of performance from this MSI board also.
I should have paid the little bit extra and got the ASUS P5B as that is hitting over 400 FSB without a hitch.
Getting to even 333 FSB on this P965 Neo was just too scary. I was always biting my nails wondering if it would crap out.
To get to 333mhz FSB should not even be an issue for any Core 2 Duo board. Many people here seem to be having issues with it.
How is your power supply? Good name brand and high (450+) watts?
I can live with mine, now it's working, but I would not buy it again that's for sure.
From what I have read, the P965 Platinum isn't much better either!

MSI P965 Neo-F + DDRII 800 TwinX (2x512mb) issue

Hi, ive recently built a new system a couple of days ago and im having a few issues with it... i 'presume' it may have something to do with ram/mobo compatability.
Heres my system, no oc'ing:
MSI P965 Neo-F
1Gb (2X512Mb) Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC6400 (800) @ 5-5-5-18 1.85V (mobo default)
480W power supply
The issue seems to be that during boot up the system loads into windows XP then after about 20-30 secs the system will reboot itself for no reason (no event log), then it kinda has a set of mini reboot fits during POST.
After the system has settled down it will boot into windows XP fine and i have no further issues at all... it runs all my games/apps perfectly.
Can anyone shed any more light on this issue ?

first, stop the board from auto-rebooting, by going to Control Panel , System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, uncheck "Automatically restart". See what the bluescreen error code is. That would help a bit.

Can 915G Combo support DDR2-800 ?

Hey ~~every1
My Motherboard is 915G Combo MS-7058 BIOS ver 1.6 which support both DDR1 & DDR2. Now i just consider to upgrade DDR2 Module. Can My Motherboard support the latest DDR2 667 or 800 ? There is a news that Infineon will start to produce DDR2-800 in June that 512MB DDR2-800 will be price at $93.
Here is Comp Spec
MSI 915G Combo MS-7058 BIOS ver 1.6
LGA775 Intel 540 Pentium 4 3.2Ghz
Kingston 512MB DDR400(Single Channel)
40 HDD Samsung (PATA-Spinpoint)
SW-252B Samsung Writer
Prolink V.92 Modem
PowerSupply 480W (20 Pin)

The ram should run OK, just not at it's maximum speed. For you CPU the optimum speed is DDR400.
I have my doubts that DDR2 800 will be available for under $100, but I have been wrong before
Do you intend on buying two sticks or one? If only one, stick with what you have now. If two I think you need to decide if what you are purchasing will perform any better than buying for more stick of DDR 400. Performance wise I don't think so.

Satellite Pro U300-143 Ram DDR2 800 supported?

Hello, I'm new of the forum.
Someone know if it's possible to use DDR2 800 to replace old 667?
The bus of the mainboard is also going at 800.
Thank you.

Hi
It makes no sense to use faster modules if the chipset would not support the FSB speed of 800Mhz. the FSB would slow down the memory speed to the same speed which is supported by front side bus.
I recommend checking you chipset. Then you will know, what FSB speed is supported.
If FSB would support 800Mhz, then you can use such modules.

P965 platinum ddr2 800 problem

My Pc have two module ddr2 800 1gb (x2) apacer type unbpc2-6400 cl5, cpu is 6700 core duo

P965 Platinum 4GB RAM - where's my DDR2-800 ???

The manual states you can run DDR2-800 with 4GB RAM. Using some top notch G.Skill memory that got awesome
reviews on newegg. But it just won't run at DDR2-800. Won't even boot, beep, or anything. I have 4x 1GB modules.
When they say 4GB at DDR2-800, do they mean 2x 2GB modules or something? Oh, and I did check all the latencies
and voltages. Worked like a charm with just 2x 1GB modules. Overclocked that to DDR2-1033 with just an additional
0.1V overvolt, and no change to latencies. ???

I haven't tried doing the mix and match thing. I should try that. I'll do it tonight when I get home. The modules are G.Skill model F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ. Search newegg for N82E16820231065. My bios version is the latest 1.4. The specified voltage for these modules is 2.1V. So I overvolted them to 2.2V previously. During this test, the system is NOT overclocked or overvolted. System will boot with DDR2-667 and seems to be stable. But the manuals says that is only when you have 8GB of ram. Again, DDR2-800 just doesn't work. Power light comes on and fans spin, but other than that, system appears to be completely dead. Monitors won't even come out of standby.

Can i get MSI P965 Neo (MS-7235) for 1333fsb support by updating bios?

Hi,
Im new in this forum hope this is right place to ask this.
I got motherboard: MSI P965 Neo (MS-7235)
So it only supports 1066fsb?
I have e6850 processor, so can i get this motherboard to support that processor by updating bios?
according to this msi.com
it says fsb 1333, why?

Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

Can it handle 2x 1 GB DDR2 ELPIDA PC2-5300, 667 MHz, ECC
Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

As mentioned by many, No ECC RAMs support.
To me, I feel that current state of art DDR II RAMs are good enough to not produced much errors and HDDs have error buffer memory of up to 16MB, so ECC makes me feels that it is a "good to have but not a must" thing nowdays.
