Q9650 Support with MSI P7N2

I got this e-mail form MSI Technical support team, I have a problem getting Q9650 to work with P7N2, I thought the Q9650 and the Extreme XQ9650 where two very different processors, I have got no help from this so called support team.
Thanks for your great support and sorry for the late response!
Regarding your concern,we have made a simulated test with the following configurations:
MB:7523-010
BIOS:V1.1
CPU:Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00GHz (EU80569X 080NL)
Memory:PQI PQI38500-2048DB 1GB,DDR3-1066
HDD:WD 1200JS-00MHB0 120G / 7200 round /SATA150 / 8MB ram
OS:Windows Vista 64bit
VGA:MSI NX7100GS-TD256E(602-V027-200)
With above configuration,I could enter the system without any problem;
Thanks & regards,
MSI Technical Support Team!

Nope, the only difference is that, with the extreme edition, the multipier is unlocked.
Did you have bios version 1.1 or higher, cause on site it says supported from bios v1.1, see here:
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1445&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
If not try updating bios with, for instance forum tool:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113295.0
Or through bootable cd/dvd:

137+GB Support with MSI K8 Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100) under Windows 2000?

I have a Western Digital WD2000JD 200GB serial ATA drive that is set as a slave in my system. I am using Windows 2000 and wondered if my MSI K8 Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100) board supports a drive larger than 137GB on 1 partition without the use of an add-on card . Formatted it now shows as 127GB...not the 186 or so it should if were recognized as a 200GB.
I used to have a 200GB EIDE that would show as 137GB+ using a EIDE controller on my old board but I don't really want to have to partition it or use a host card.
I have read that the board must support 48 bit addressing to overcome this limitation and wondered if this board (MS7100) supported it.
I really don't want to purchase a Serial ATA host controller to get the full 200GB from the drive on 1 partition in Windows 2000.
Any ideas?

MSI P7N2 Diamond with 9450... Questions!

I passed from an EVGA 790i Ultra to a MSI P7N2 Diamond (Same Chipset but the MSI is far more stable).
I would like to set my Q9450 to 3.2GHz. I was at 3.2 on my Evga.
I was wondering if one of you has some bios settings for this frequency on the P7N2? (core voltable, MCP voltage, etc)

Quote from: titom91 on 21-August-08, 19:40:45
No, Those values where when I was on a EVGA 790i Ultra... And the 1.3625V was because the system was lowering the Voltage on the cores... What i mean is that when you were setting for example 1.3V, the system was set at a lower voltage and when the system was not idle anymore, the cores couldn't reach the voltage they needed (the voltage set and the maximum voltage possible where not the same).
I am currently on overclocking my MSI board... I just got the ram stable at 1600 and atacking on the CPU...
What i wanted by setting this post is to know what range of voltages and frequencies people who had the same setup were having... to compare when done...
I know the voltage drops, vdroop, but 1.3625 is mental all the same. Mine's at about 1.32 for 3.4Ghz, and I can run it at much lower voltages for 3.2
What voltages/settings have you tried with the MSI board? And my board runs fine at 400fsb, if you want to see if there's an fsb hole just drop down to 395 (1580qdr) or something.

MSI P7n2

Has anyone got a intel Q9650 working with P7N2 motherboard.. I have update Bios V1.1..I can see the Q9650 in Bios menu, but we i try to boot into windows i get a black screen.......I have P7N2 with MSI 280 GTX 1024mb, Corsair XMS3 DHX DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL7..580w power pack running windows Vista 64bit..................

Quote from: Robbie33 on 11-June-09, 03:49:49
Is there any way to found out if Q9650 is support by the P7N2 in the beta bios 1.23, where could i download this beta bios too...............

Recent Conversation with MSI and Neo4 overclocking "thing"

I had a recent email transaction with MSI if anyone is interested. I tried my best to represent the group, and I know we all experience the problem a little bit different which is why it has been hard to explain and fix. I tried to give them the best info to duplicate the issue in the lab. It seems clear at this point that MSI still isn't duplicating the issue. They are using 166 Mem Clock Index, and the HT freq of 3x and still not understanding the issue, hopefully I have gave them a guide to duplicate what we have been trying to say. Yes I have explained this to MSI before but I really feel I am getting somewhere with my last 2 emails. Once we get them to duplicate the results then I think we will all have our solution shortly. Before anyone says anything negative, at least they aren't saying, oh that's an overclocking problem we don't deal with that. Also remember how long it has taken to get many people to see the issue, this isn't easy to understand so just stay cool, don't say negative sh-t if you reply and we'll see how this pans out. It was actully kind of hard since I am sitting in a hotel room 500 miles away from the motherboard but I was able to use modbin6 to view the BIOS and since I have done this about 7 zillion times I remember the settings LMAO. They have their Venice to 2750, not bad...
Hello MSI Engineer,
The information you requested. The data you sent shows a Venice running at 166 Memclock index value at HT at 3x, the goal is to run at 200 Memclock Index and HT at 4x. In order to duplicate this issue in the lab here is my recommendation. It MUST be tried with a CBBID Winchester RevD CPU and a Venice Rev E CPU and the Gskill memory you have in dual channel. The issue happens everytime with a CBBID Winchester and less often with Venice.
Starting with the Venice 3500+, Set the following in BIOS
[Memclock Index] 200
[CAS# latency (Tcl)] 3
[Min RAS active] 11
[RAS to CAS delay] 6
[Row Precharge] 6
[User config mode] manual
[bottom of 32 bit] (default)
[1T/2T] 1T
[Read Preamble] 6ns (default)
[Async Latency] 6ns (default)
[S/W mem hole] Disable (default)
[H/W mem hole] Disable (default)
[MTRR mapping] Continuous (default)
[High Performance] manual
[Agreessive timing] Disable
[Dynamic Overclocking] Disable
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 200
[HT Frequncy] 4
[HT Width] 16 up 16 down
[CPU Spread] Disable
[SATA Spread] Disable
[PCI Spread] Disable
[PCIe Clock] 101
[SSE/SSE2] Enable
[CnQ] Disable
[CPU Ratio] 11x
[Adjust CPU VID] 1.45
[Extra CPU Voltage] your choice for stability
[Mem Volt] your choice for stability
[NF4 Volt] your choice for stability
Now boot into Windows. Using Clockgen, increase HTT to 250. This should be stable based on your screen shot and your RAM modules. Now having a CPU 2750Mhz, RAM at 250Mhz, and a HT of 4x250(1000). Test for stablity with Prime95 or other Stress Testing tool. Now we can say motherboard is stable at 2750Mhz CPU, 250Mhz RAM, and HT 4x250(1000). Now return to the BIOS at set the following
[Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] 250
This reults in a no POST condition for me and others. Now install the CBBID, except you will have to set a lower CPU max speed based on CBBID overclocking potential. In the BIOS, Return [Adjust CPU FSB frequency] to 200, Perhaps [CPU ratio] of 10x or 9x but a [Memory Clock Index] 200Mhz. Boot to Windows and use Clockgen to raise HTT to 250 again. Once you find a [CPU Ratio] that will have a STABLE overclock with a 250HTT. Return to the BIOS and set [Adjust CPU FSB Frequency] to 250. Try and POST. Try this experiment with the 3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS's. For the CBBID and the 3.1 BIOS you should be able to change the [HT Freq] to 3x, 2x or 1x and get a POST with [FSB Freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and a known stable [CPU Ratio] you found in Windows. The 3.3, and 3.4 BIOS have made this work around not possible. Why does [HT Freq] 4x work in windows but not at POST time?
As a side note. The 1.3 BIOS for the 7125 works with the Venice, and the 1.4 and 1.5 do NOT. So somewhere between the 1.3 and 1.4 MSI created the issue on the Venice. Perhaps that is where you can find the answer and solution to the problem.
Here are some articles that describe the issue on a ECS and Chaintech board that were remidied by a BIOS update. So the problem is not uncommon and should be able to be fixed.
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/chaintech-nforce4_6.html
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/mainboards/display/ecs-kn1-extreme_9.html
Here is some other users data of NF4 SLI and Ultra MSI Neo4's if you want to see some other BIOS settings.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81364.0
Here is a screen shot of my Neo4 Plat SLI (MS-7100) 3.1 BIOS and CBBID Winchester(The Venice will NOT POST at all above [Adj CPU Freq] ~219-229 under any situation but is stable in Windows at HTT 250 with Clockgen). The system is stable and POST's when [HT Freq] is 3x, it will NOT at [HT freq] 4x which is stable in windows but won't POST.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbidMSI2501.jpg
Here is another screenshot of the Asus A8N Plat SLI with all peripherals the same. Only changed the motherboard. This is POSTing at [HT Freq] 4x. This is just as a reference that the components do indeed POST with [Adjust FSB freq] 250, [Memclock Index] 200, and [HT Freq] 4x. This board will POST both my 3200+ Venice and Winchester CBBID at the settings described above.
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/cbbid250asus1.jpg
The following are my BIOS settings that will create a non-POST condition, but the board is stable at these settings when ADJUSTED FROM WINDOWS.

Good news and good work guy's
On a side note to chakkasol....
are you using coolbits 1 or 2?
I heard that coolbits2 is the one for our later cards
Good question - coolbits 2. I happened to take a chance from this website and downloaded this file...ran it up against my antivirus and antispyware software and it looked clean. I simply ran the program and viola, coolbits functionality automatically added to the winxp registry. I cleaned out the msi DOT drivers first before I loaded this program. Even though I have tweaked on occasion the winxp registry to speed things up and make winxp shut down quicker, this was too complicated for me to do on my own.
The highest overclock with the MSIs DOT is 11% at 555/1100. My MSI card is actually very stable at 580/1160 for a 16% overclock. I have gotten it to 600/1200 but I usually run the coolbits stability program a few times and it has never failed at 580/1160. I am sure if I had a better cooling system than the stock fan it would probably go to 600/1200 or higher. At a 3DMark05 of 4133 (and much higher if I could get it stable at 600/1200, I would be bumping up against the stock speeds of the 6800s vid cards.
EDIT: Of course, if you download this coolbits 2 program you do so at your own risk...I take no responsibility for the download.
The coolbits download:
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=815
The MSI 6600gt card that I purchased:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=321916
btw, I have ordered more stuff from ZZF than newegg...they seem cheaper (but dont always have the stock of newegg) and the stuff gets here 1 day sooner usually (west coast to east coast USA).

Video problem with MSI 880G-E45 board

Does anyone know if the onboard video is automatically disabled by installation of a PCI-e x16 video card on this motherboard?
I want to run two monitors and I cannot figure out how to keep the onboard vga active when I have a video card in the PCI-e x16 slot.
Thanks!

I can't believe a Moderator on a Manufacturer's Forum is handing out such INCORECT information!!!!
Quote from: flobelix on 16-August-12, 12:43:00
Unfortunately bottom line is you can't use your onboard vga for another display besides a vga card powering different monitors. Using a discrete vga you are limited to it's multi-display abilities. Onboard vga will not work when vga card used. For using three monitors you could get an Eyefinity supporting Radeon as suggested or a GeForce GTX6xx. If your card is limited to dual display and you don't want to get a new one you'll stick with two monitors.
I submit this link (tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-780g-chipset,1785-6.html) as proof that it is possible to use both the on-board video and an added video card both simultaneously or in crossfire mode on a single display.
To further illustrate this fact further, I submit this link (amd.com/it/products/technologies/ati-hybrid-graphics/Pages/ati-hybrid-graphics.aspx) to AMD.com stating the purpose for their "Hybrid Crossfire" technology, and although their page does not show specificly that the MSI 880G-E45 motherboard supports this, THIS page Does! (msi.com/product/mb/880G-E45.html#/?div=Basic) --Scroll to the bottom to see the line stating "Hybrid Crossfire Support - Y"
When speaking with MSI customer support about this technology, you are directed to this page (msi.com/file/test_report/TR1_2233.pdf) which shows a list of compatible video cards, ALL of which supported the Hybrid Crossfire when tested by MSI.
Add "http:\\www." to each of the links...
"flobelix", perhaps it would be better to simply say "I Don't Know" rather than providing MSI's customers with incorrect information and suggesting that they spend more money on something else.
BTW, I have personally tried 2 different video cards (MSI Radeon HD 6670 1Gb DDR5) and the (Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 1Gb DDR3) that are NOT on MSI's list, and they did NOT work with the Hybrid crossfire.
I hope we can limit further suggestions to facts instead of guesses.

Many problems with MSI Control Center

have a lot MSI mobo
I still P45 & P45 Diamond Memory lover.
the problem of their old dual core center was that sometimes bug "debug assertion failed" came ..
but now I have 5 mobo 1155:
msi Z77
msi b75
msi z68
msi H67
msi h61
in all of these motherboards, the start of the OS, the latest version of control center never keeps the settings that I have saved as a "default"!
for example, the Z77 does not maintain the memory for the fan cpu, while fan1 & fan2 are active, but not to the minimum value that I had memorized ..
the z68 instead only stores the value of the cpu fan
the H67 does not store anything ..
and also the other way!
indicted versions of MSI CC are those where the adjustment of the fans is not only numeric, but also with the graph ..
I seem to recall that older versions of CC II without the graphics did not have so many problems in the management of the fans (but I'm not sure about this)
I do not know if I'm wrong something in the settings of the BIOS, or the software itself!
and I wonder if the ControlCenter has a bug so big, that users do not make a mass protest to the manufacturer directly!
I hope you can help me positively.
I am very disappointed with this software MSI, I would be a little desire to leave my beloved brand ...
thanks
max
p.s. I can understand for the "old" h61/h61, but it is absurd that the Z77 motherboards & b75 does not have control of all the connectors on the PCB Tachometer & PWM ... not to mention the z68 should be the most valuable of all
(as opposed to other manufacturers that optimize much better implementation "fan control")

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 05-March-13, 12:39:59
You have been around here long enough to know this is a user to user community and can't do anything about BIOS or S/W problems.
With 16 MSI machines here in the hobby/test room, not one has CC or LU5 on them. For machines I want to control any fans on, I simply install an aftermarket fan controller to do the job. You might try the SpeedFan utility. That seems to be popular.
Talk of jumping brands falls on deaf ears here, and is your choice because of unhappiness with optional S/W.
yes, I have been long enough, but the forums are also used to find solutions ..
maybe some user could answer to me better than you, do not you think?
and this forum is not managed directly by MSI lately?
use a fan controller is not a solution to the problem!
you can not really think that just because you use the external controller.
if MSI creates software with the same problem on all chipsets,
then MSI should fix this software!
otherwise does not produce even, which is less disappointment around.
for my opinion then check the BIOS is much better than using anti-aesthetic Rheobus ..
optional S / W is part of the motherboard itself, while SpeedFan is a third-party utility ... the situation is the same..
I will open a ticket, but it is absurd that MSI does not realize that their own software has this great Bug ..
you say you can not be faulted, and instead I think yes.
especially if you love MSI.
I with 7 Mobo MSI + 6 VGA MSI I can say I devoted customer, and always recommendMSI products to all around..
all software MSI are good, afterburned, video genie, fast boot, and also the ControlCenter II for the management of the cpu and ram is good software!
my anger is that there is only this damn small bug in the software fan control, and I do not understand that the manufacturer and users (inside and outside the forum) do nothing to have a solution!
Quote from: Bernhard on 05-March-13, 14:59:12
Why this sudden realisation that you are missing something on all the MSI boards that you acquired over the years.
Did you ever inform MSI about this at the time that you purchased each and every board ?
the reason is my laziness to contact customer support (and laziness to write here) that I missed until now.
is because with P45 diamond7memory lover Customer Support could not solve the problem.
and because H67 & h61 htpc that are in use a short time
and because z68 erain bench test that used very little time (due to living with my girlfriend) and I have to resell soon.
but now that I have just arrived Z77 & B75 I want to solve this problem.
and if I decided now-finally-maybe I had more important things to do, but now I realized that it is not possible that all boards have bad dialogue with MSI ControlCenter!

This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.

Hello my name is James king.
and This is my experience with MSI, and their NVIDIA GTX 570 reference card.
(5/27/12) Day one. I update my driver from Beta 301.24 To WHQL 301.42. and as you would expect, it worked. so i restart and go play kerbal space program (if you haven't played this go, play it now i love it) 5 minutes later it starts artifacting, eg. textures stretching, random green spots. "ugh" so i start troubleshooting, reinstall revert and so on. later i give up and go play Portal 2, i load the game opening screen i see lots (100-250) of little flickering green dots. first instincts says its the cable, test nope. then maybe the screen, test nope. i keep testing throughout the night, to no avail.
(5/28/12) so to the internet, for help. 3 hours later nothing, but people with bad cards. at opening i call NVIDIA Tech Support, they say to call MSI so i do. 3 calls no pick up, 4th call and i get a "Support technician" who is no help, says to fill out a RMA form online. and so i do more troubleshooting for the rest of the day. and i give up, and go to bed.
(5/29/12) i fill out a RMA form, end of day i get an email from MSI that says; "Dear Valued Customer [email] your RMA is pending approval, and you will get an email within 1 weak with shipping information.
(6/1/12) shipping information, instructions, but no shipping label.
(6/4/12) i ship the card, via UPS
(6/12/12) after using the most round about route eg. it got to MSI.
United States 06/04/2012 6:40 P.M. Order Processed: Ready for UPS

(6/13/12) email from MSI, says they got it.
(6/14/12) email from MSI, says it is in procesing.
(6/20/12) email from MSI, saying they shipped it and that [this] is the tracking number.
(6/26/12) end of day. i receive the card, and see the case is badly scratched. i install it in my pc and hey it worked (for now). watch some YouTube, and go to play skyrim. start up load my save and i make one step, and my pc hard freezes. "sigh" half an hour later, i give up and go play minecraft 10 minutes in, and it hard freezes. so now more troubleshooting,5 hours later no luck.
(6/27/12) i have called MSI Tech Support 2 times, when they picked up the phone they say to call customer service. 7 calls later no pickup.
and that is it MSI have sent my on the run around too long.

Winki is actually used via an USB Device that is directly connected to the board's USB Pin headers:
It cannot be loaded from a CD.

X58A-GD45 has a Winki folder on the CD that comes with it, and has no device as shown in the image. It is not enabled on my board, but a coworker bought the same board and his *is* enabled. Don't know.

Once again open box board had no dics. Will anyone provide a link or other assistance please. Winki OS file for 7666 xpower
I was replying to Jack, not you Good luck with MSI support - should get you hooked up.

MSI P7N2 Diamond vs PSU Silver power 850W

Halo!
I bought MSI P7N2 Diamond and set it witch PSU Silver Power 850W.
I would like to ask you whether the value of V is normal. Especially at +12 Vol.
The voltage values read in Bios.Bios version 1.1 and something here does not agree.
System is not stable sometimes hangs..
Please help. The power supply is new but I have concerns about the power supply,
because this is the first one of the 5 motherboards which worked in this configuration..

i dont have anything else
Quote from: Mike on 28-July-09, 01:16:12
If it really was 2.64V on the +12V rail, your MOBO wouldn't even post. That reading is a wrong reading. What are you using to check the voltages? What is shown in the BIOS?
i really had serious problems .Two A..S Striker 2 Extreme down ,2 MSI P7N2 diamond mobo down {[3 x ( start,5sec -> freze)] and no post anymore} And suddenly the third P7N2 Diamond working.
Nothing changed. How to explain this?

DOS lock up with MSI & P4 Processor

I just bought 3 new computers. All MS-6533E motherboards (Bios V5.3) with intel P4 processors, Kingston 512 meg memory & Windows 2000 SP3. All 3 lock up in DOS based programs. I reformatted & dropped one back to SP2 since I have others computers (MS-6524 Motherboard P3 processor) on 2000 SP2 which are fine in DOS. This one still locks up. Is anyone aware of a problem with MSI motherboards & a P4 processor? Help!

Thanks for your reply, however your answer did not come across complete. Are you saying it has to do with using a USB mouse & keyboard rather than the PS/2 connections?

Incompatibility Problem new Kingmax DDR400 with MSI-6585 Mo Bo

Recently just bought a new 256MB Kingmax DDR400 color module but found that it was incompatible with MSI-658(SiS648 chipset mo bo). It did works fine with the old model of Kingmax DDR400(Black chip module).However the code of the both modules are same. And I have tried configuration according to MSI and Kingmax.But found that even the just new single new DDR400 without mixing both also cannot work at frequency of 200Mhz.But the one old working fine. I exclude the possibilty of faulty of the new module cause I have tested it on other platform and do even exchange a new one from vendor.
I have emailed the Kingmax and MSI support, but none of them of reply my msg. Since it was in the category of certified module published in the MSI website, i think MSI and Kingmax will be very irresponsible for not yet test the new color module on the board.

Besides color, the old model and new model really different in term of the board. The height of new model is shorter than old one and very clearly even the layout of the chip is different. By SPD is also different.
I have tried different DIMM slot with different voltage different configuration. It is really a serious problem, but sadly still din receive any reply from MSI and Kingmax.

My RMA experience with MSI

Hi all,
I finally got my system together after receiving a replacement board from MSI.
The original board, an msi k7t pro2-a rev 1, was faulty in which the voltage regulator was bad(?).
3 weeks after I sent the defect to MSI, a new MSI k7t pro2 turbo arrived.
I read allot of horror stories when it came to msi being lousy with the technical support, but these guys really came through and always replied
to my email.
I'll definitely stick with MSI in the future.
stevensly

I had an equally positive experience with MSI when I recently got a K7T266Pro2-RU replaced. It took about 2 1/2 weeks from mailing my defective board to receiving the replacement and all is fine again.
Thumbs up to MSI for a painless RMA procedure. )

MOVED: Using 4xsata drives with MSI K8N NEO2

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Using 4xsata drives with MSI K8N NEO2

Hi , yes unfortunately it's true !
Sata ports 3/4 is the fully nforce3 native chipset integrated (uses nvidia integrated PHY).
Use only theese if overclocking .
Satallink clock will be retained at 100mhz always .
Sata ports 1/2 are bridged from the nvidia chipset to an external marvell PHY .
Theese ones can not be used with HTT ref clock beyond ~230mhz +/- a few mhz without producing data corruption .
Satalink ref clock of 100mhz will scale upwards with increased HTT .
This issue applies to all nforce3 250GB/Ultra based motherboards with more than 2 sata ports regardless which vendor/make/model.
It's the chosen hw design that is the issue and no bios ever will fix it .
If you must have 4 sata drives , do like me and install a pci SIL sata controller card for the drives used for storage .
Take Abit NF8 (nf3) as an example .It has only 2 sata ports .
Why ?
Only the true/fully chipset integrated sata ports is used .
Although the nforce3 chipset supports a sata link to an external PHY for port 3 and upwards some has chosen to not utilize it .
Nforce 4 chipset has corrected this hw design by adding more sataport by the link to external phy .
In nf4 four ports are fully/true chipset integrated , and does not suffer from this overclock barrier .
