P965 Platinum and Zalman CNPS9500AT

Hi
I have recently built system with above two components (and dual core 6400)
I can set bios to monitor fan speed and temp (Rpm 2000)
or dual core centre(which does not seem too good) at min fan speed gives (2400rpm)
The processor temp is about 32
Unfortunately the system is noisy and I had hoped it would be silent
I would like to decrease fan speed to 1300 rpm just not sure how to do this
I got cnps9500 because it was supposed to be automatic Perhaps not compatible with P965
I have a zalman fanmate 2 but it is a 3 pin connector
Anybody got any suggestions or help?
Thanks for your time
Richard

Hi everyone
thanks for responses
The Zalman fan has a 4 pin connector it is the fanmate 2 that has 3 pin connector
The zalman fan can be controlled from MSI dual core centre program but this only allows speed in range 2700 to 2200rpm (1 to 7  slowest to fastest)
So the fan can be controlled from software  I think I read that a beta version of speedfan might work
At the moment I am thinking of going back to the intel fan that came with the processor!
Thanks again
Richard

  • P965 Platinum and E6600 won't go to 3GHz

    Hello,
    I have a MSI P965 Platinum and a E6600. Currently I have two sticks of Corsair Value Select 1GB PC-5300 RAM, rated at 667Mhz 5-5-5-15.
    The E6600's stock is 2.4GHz, and I want to go to 3GHz. This should be dead simple - not only can the E6600 usually clock much higher, but 3GHz will only require a 333Mhz FSB (9 x 333), which means my RAM doesn't have to be overclocked at all since it is rated for 667MHz DDR2. I should be able to obtain 3GHz with a nice comfortable 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio without stressing the Corsair Value ram beyond specifications.
    However, it just won't work. I seem to be having RAM instabilities at 667MHz 5-5-5-15 and 333Mhz FSB. The reason I say RAM is because Memtest86 freezes, and SuperPi has a 'not exact in round' error in 16M and 32M - which apparently means there is a problem with memory stability. Now, I know this sounds like the RAM is faulty, but I don't think it is, because when I run stock 266MHz FSB, the system is fine at 4:5 divider to make the RAM 667Mhz. It's only when I increase the FSB (and not the RAM at all) does the system become unstable. At 266MHz FSB and 667MHz RAM, my system will pass any stress test, but not at 333Mhz FSB and 667Mhz RAM.
    I've upped the CPU voltage 3 notches to around 1.350 or so under load. My ram is at 1.9v, although I tried 1.95v too. I didn't touch the chipset voltage (should I?). My temperatures seem ok - I'm only using the stock Intel cooler, but it should be able to handle 3GHz fine. It hovers around 48c idle, 60c load according to Everest Ultimate (before it crashes in SuperPi), so it doesn't appear to be overheating while overclocked. Not great tempts but acceptable.
    However, there are two things I've noticed:
    - In the BIOS, if I select CAS to be 5 or 6, CPUZ still reports my ram at CAS3 (which my RAM can't do at 667Mhz), or 3-5-5-15. However if I select CAS4, it reports CAS4 properly (still unstable though), or 4-5-5-15. This is only a problem when I overclock the FSB - at stock FSB, the CAS timings are reported correctly. It could be an issue with CPUZ, but I doubt it. If there is a bug with the P965 Platinum not setting the CAS right when overclocking, this might explain why I'm having RAM stability issues even though I'm not overclocking the RAM - i.e. because the board is not using the right CAS setting. Is this a known bug? Also, I tried Auto SPD but it tried to use 4-4-4-12 at 667MHz (again, which this RAM won't do).
    - When I run 333Mhz FSB and 667MHz RAM, the POST shows some sort of error message about the board not supporting CPU's with a 267Mhz FSB or something (which is weird, because 266Mhz is the stock speed *shrug*), and that it's resetting it. Sorry I can't recall the exact error off hand, but I can try the overclock again and provide it later on if needed. Anyway, despite the error message, the overclock still applies - it will boot into Vista 64-bit at 3Ghz, it just won't pass any stress test.
    Is it possible a BIOS update could help me? I run V1.4, and even though I know there is a V1.8 now, no newer version mentions anything about fixing overclocking issues. I don't like to update my BIOS unless necessary (and I don't even have a floppy drive anyway, would need to figure out how to do it via USB).
    Thanks for any help. I'm certain my RAM isn't faulty and I'm certain my CPU should be able to reach 3Ghz surely. I'm also pretty sure heat isn't an issue. I think maybe the board is trying to force CAS3 when FSB overclocking or something? That's my guess anyway.

    Thanks for the reply!
    Sorry, I should have mentioned I was definitely achieving 1:1 - I recall the confusion over why my RAM was trying to be 800+MHz at 667 and then I realized 533 actually meant 1:1, 667 4:5 etc, so I am definitely running at 533/1:1. I doubt this RAM would even post at 800+ MHz.
    So updating the BIOS may help? Ok thanks, I guess I will update then. I don't see it in the "fix" list though on the site. Is there a way I can get a *full* fix/enhancement list for 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 so I know exactly what I'm fixing going from 1.4 to 1.8?
    Also, does MSI support LiveUpdate BIOS in Windows Vista 64 yet? And if not, is there an official way to update via a USB stick? (no FDD here).

  • P965 Platinum and XP hell - found a way

    Hi guys,
    I had ugly startup problems with the P965 Platinum and a Samsung Spinpoint SATAII HDD. So I want to share with you how I finally got there. I tried for a whole day to install XP as I wanted a dual boot with Vista. Trying XP Home OEM did not work, I got those blue screens we have seen in here. I tried everything, but to no avail. Two short beeps during startup also confused me, but forget about those for now. Well after hours of frustration I installed Vista. It worked! And told me that my Corsair RAM was probably OK, as well as my HDD. Then I had a drink too much and went to bed.
    Today I slipstreamed XP with Service Pack 2, and managed to make a bootable CD. So now I got XP Home SP2. Tried again, and this time I got past blue screens...but when XP came to the first reboot...arghh no HDD. Today I was actually going to RMA the whole crap, but got a tip from the vendor.
    On the MSI driver CD there is a IDE folder, with a "floppy" containing the AHCI ICH8 drivers. I read the readme and moved the files to a floppy, then put the floppy into the drive. Then I went into the BIOS and set SATA to AHCI. Started the install, pressed F6 and loaded the drivers from the floppy. I selected ICH8 AHCI, and XP was happy. During the installation it read the floppy once more and obviously recognized stuff. So here I am, up and running. Rock steady.
    I think both MSI and vendors should inform us better about such.
    I still got those two short beeps at startup, three if the USB CDRom is on. Can anyone please explain those beeps to me?
    Cheers,

    Glad you found your way out of "hell".  The problems that threw themselves in your way are well known to many P965 Plat. users in this forum. It is good to see that you were able to solve them.

  • P965 Platinum and Realtek RTL8111B problem

    I have a dual boot setup on my computer:  Windows XP and Fedora 7 Linux. 
    After booting Windows XP I will have to COMPLETELY UNPLUG the power supply from my computer before booting to Fedora 7 Linux.  The reason:  If I simply reboot or turn off the computer (simply turning off does not remove the power from the mainboard), then the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN is left in a state which prevents Fedora 7 Linux from being able to use the LAN.  Fedora simply reports the LAN is not available.  The solution, which I find unacceptable, is to completely turn off the Realtek RTL8111B on the P965 Platinum and use an old Realtek 8129 PCI network board. 
    A better solution would be for the MSI BIOS to reset all of the Realtek RTL8111B LAN chipset's bits to a valid state so that Fedora 7 Linux would be able to properly recognize and use the onboard LAN.
    Again, if I COMPLETELY UNPLUG my computer's power supply Fedora 7 Linux always finds and uses the onboard LAN.  It is only after using Windows XP and rebooting to Fedora 7 Linux without completely unplugging the power supply first that there is a problem.  This would seem to indicate the MSI BIOS is not resetting the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN chipset to a clean state when it initializes the system upon booting.
    I am using MSI P965 Platinum BIOS version 1.4

    Uhm, I'm having exactly the same issue under linux.
    The router's led will stay off and it looks like there was no network cable connected (Realtek Ethernet controllers are insmod'ed and everything looks fine).
    The only thing I haven't tried is unplugging the power supply's cable ... weird.
    I'm also upset about this problem  >:(

  • P965 Platinum and Vista x64 RAID config?

    Ok, I have looked all over this forum for Vista x64 issues. Nothing even comes close to my problem. When I load Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Edition onto a clean SATAII drive (single non-RAID drive) I have no problems what-so-ever.
    Now here is when it really gets weird. When I run install on a RAID array (2 SATAII Seagate 160GB drives) I see issues in the install. First thing I see is it corrupts the data on the first drive. This causes a blue screen at restart. When I go into the RAID config (ctrl+I) I see the first drive has errors. The only thing I can do is delete the RAID and start over.
    When I reinstall Win XP Pro X64 I have no problems at all. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the downloads section and I have tried the newer Intel drivers. Non work!
    Computer info:
    CPU: Intel 3.4GHz Pentium D x64
    MB: MSI P965 Platinum
    Storage: 2x Seagate 160GB SATAII
    RAID: Intel ICH7R/ICH8R SATA RAID driver 2006-08-29 (and have tried the newer driver from Intel)
    If you need more just ask!
    Oh yeah, I looked at the specs sheet for the P965. They need to remove the NEC 3550 from the "OK" list since it does not Wright period or READ at install. I went through a big deal with MSI about this and they still have not removed it.

    Well sh**! I borrowed a friends Vista x86 and found it to also have the same issue. Would not even load the "Choose Drive" screen or allow me to even install the RAID drivers.
    Man when a board gets Vista approved is must not take much. I have had compatibility issues with this board since day one. I think maybe it is time to through it away. What a shame since it is only a few months old.

  • P965 Platinum and E6700 CPU Core v ?

    Just a question.
    What is the default CPU Core V on the P965 Platinum board when you just unpack it first time ?
    I just want to know because i just installed my board directly with my new E6700 CPU on without checking the CPU core v first.
    I never touched it, but i'm afraid its wrong. Maybe i have to chance it my self for the right setting.
    So my question is really. Is the default CPU core v on the P965 Platinum alright for a Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU or should it be chanced
    to the CPU the user are using with the board.
    Thx

    1.265V for mine...

  • P965 Platinum and Crossfire

    OK, if this has already been posted, I sure can't find it with the search...  So..
    I have a system running the 965 Platinum, 6300 CPU, and a single ATI X1600 pro video card (xp64 if it matters)..  I can't seem to find a solid answer as to whether I can run a second X1600 pro on this board in Crossfire mode...
    Anybody know for sure?
    Thanks in advance

    Sorry, didn't mean to come off like a jerk    It's just that before I posted, I had already read all I could find..  I was hoping there was someone here who had tried it and could let me know if it worked or not...
    Some of what I'm reading implies that you need a newer card (like the X1950 or such) to work crossfire on the P965, but then other stuff sounds like the X1600 would work..  I'd just like to know for sure before I drop cash on the card.
    You just need a card that doesn't use the external dongle of early Cross-Fire (that big white thing outside the chassis) IIRC... I can't remember wherever the X1600 uses it or not, depends on how new the card is
    Best regards

  • Problem with P965 platinum and crucial ballistix tracer 6400

    i just buy a new pair of crucial ballistix tracer but they dont work too well with the board, i try to set it at 4-4-4-12-24 but it wont boot, so i have to set it to 4-4-4-12-38 to boot my old corsair  were runing at 5-4-4-12-24, i don't know if the boar don't work well with those memorys, any one having this problem?

    Quote from: RemusM on 06-May-08, 21:24:24
    Aaron is right.
    At least for this summer, you should leave them at 5-5-5-15 and 1.85V
    Also take care with that E6400 running at 3.2GHz. It won't last long!
    The boss needs a vacation: movies, beers, hot chicks and so on.
    Remus,
    You preach too much! Instead of the CPU lasting ~7-8 years it will last ~4-6. I don't see why you keep a CPU that long...

  • Help overcloking problem P965 platinum and ballistix tracer

    i jut get a new set of curcial ballistix tracer to change my old corsair TWIN2X2048-6400, the problem is that before i could get a stable 3.2 fsb 405 memory ratio 1:1, but now even at 2.8 the pc is unstable, i try to set the memorys at 4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-15 but it wont boot whit the fsb at 400, if i not overclock i can set it a 4-4-4-12 at 1.9v and work without problem. 

    try messing with memset http://www.tweakers.fr/memset.html. with that you can change timings in windows, if your system doesnt hang when you apply the timings it should post. i had to do that to correct my timings when i underclocked my memory to achieve a post.

  • P965 Platinum and all those beeps I don`t need

    All those beeps counting my 4-5 USB units at boot. I find this very annoying. Is there a way to get rid of it? At work there was a unit starting to beep a lot, but functioned perfectly still. So I cut the wires to the speaker. Do I have to do the same here
    Cheers,

    Oh I know quite a lot about shorts and such...just forgot that I could pull the plug on the MB. But after building around 20 PC`s  in my "lifetime" with data, I am used to *not* do this, as normally beeps come from BIOS and not USB devices. And this is confusing, right? For an "oldtimer" like me. This is a thing I do *not* like about MSI motherboards...it is totally nonsense for a normal user to hear those beeps.

  • 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.

  • MSI P965 Platinum ATX2 query?

    Hi I have recently purchased the MSI MSI P965 Platinum and have a 600W Zalman atx2 PSU (zm600hp) the PSU as a 20+4 pin connecter to be compatible with the 20pin and the 24pin slots and has a warning on the +4 pin part of it not to connect with atx12V connector? or will damage my cpu/motherboard, now I am not game to turn it on until I can confirm what should be plugged in here? (Could be just the bad translation on the cable that is confusing me with the wording of the warning)
    According to MB manual it pretty much says make sure everything is connected? So is it best to have the 24pin atx2 connector, the eps12v 8pin (2x4pins supplied for this by zalman) connected for power to psu, and the pci express 4pin power connected all at same time?
    Also I am getting soon a Geforce 8800GTS 320MB soon, Am I supposed to have the 4pin power connected to the pci express connector on the Mboard and another pcie power connector hooked up to the video card at the same time? or is it only one or the other?

    OCTO, kindly list out your full system specs, so we can provide you better advice. (read the moan guide).
    For the 2x10 vs 2x12 pin ATX cable, you can safely plug in 2x10 cable to the 2x12 ATX connector on the board. Your board will function normally. The reason of having 2x12 connector (increasing 4 pins from 2x10) is to provide a feedback path of +12V, +5V, and +3.3V (and GND) from the board back to the PSU. Of course the PSU should design the PSU to take these extra 4 pins (4th pin is ground) as feedback. If not, then it's also no harm as it also increases the copper of +12V, +5V, and +3.3V rail from the PSU to the board, providing more current flow.
    No harm it is.
    For the eps12v 8pin, check the wires, they are all yellow (+12V) and black (GND). This is specifically for the CPU. If your board only has 4-pin CPU ATX12 connector, this 8-pin should also fit in (there is only 1 way to plug the cable in).
    For the 4-pin connector near the PCI express, this is optional. You may not need it. but if you have problems with USB devices drop off, your PCIe display card keep hanging or it doesn't have its own addtional power connector, then you need to plug this 1x4-pin connector in for better power.

  • No IDE device detected on p965 Platinum

    Hi, I have a p965 platinum and I get the others parts for my new pc (cpu, ram and vga) first, I have to update o the last bios v1.6 to can work with the 1333 bus of the cpu (e675) I update and start ok, but now, I have to install a system, but no detect dvd or hard disk conected to IDE, I was try with a lot of combination of configuration on sata, raid, ide, enchande, disable, etc. but can't fix it. I was read a lot of people with problem like this, or umda on dvd and fix with a bios update. I been update to the last bios, but problem still no fix....any idea?...I'm looking to install windows via network, but one tiime I have windows, I need dvd anyway, so need to fix this problem

    My suggestion is to start from scratch:
    Unplug main A/C power connector from PSU, hit power-on button a few times to drain capacitors and Clear CMOS.  After restarting load Optimizes defaults in BIOS and make sure the JMicron controller is set to RAID:
    Integrated Peripherals --> Onboard RAID Controller --> IDE
    Make sure that the IDE devices connected to the JMicron controller are jumpered correctly as Master and Slave.
    If that does not solve your problem, I suggest you use a SATA HDD and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.  The JMicron controller is a tricky thing and seems to be picky with drives sometimes (especially if two drives (HDD+opt. drive) are hooked up to the IDE port.
