Everybody is recomending me the cooler master hyper 212 evo. this one must be the best cpu aftermarket cooler of all time xD

Aftermarket CPU cooler to fit P6N Diamond and my new build

Hi, after my motherboard finally quit a couple weeks ago, I am starting to build my new system. I just purchased a P6N Diamond motherboard and I'll be picking up an E6700 Core 2 Duo and I already know that I am going to overclock slightly.
With the heat pipes this board has, I'm wondering if and if so, what aftermarket CPU cooler will fit on this board. I'm not going for a major overclock, but I would like to see 3GHz per core or slightly higher.
Also, Does anyone know what speed of RAM I should get to bump this processor up to 3GHz? On my last setup, I used DDR 434 and ran it at speed to get the processor up from 3.0C to 3.24GHz and 3.4E to 3.67GHz (upgraded at one point). I am still not sure on what RAM I should use yet for compatibility issues, but I guess I need to figure out the speed first.
I also just ordered my video card today as well. I went with a EVGA eGeforce 8800GTX Superclocked card. Later on down the road when the price comes down, I'll pick up another to run SLI. From what I read on MSI's website, SLI (with the P6N Plat) doesn't support SLI in Vista... Is this true with the board, or will it be a driver/BIOS issue that can be fixed later?
The computer this is replacing is my HTPC. I used and will again use this thing for just about everything. I regularly watch movies, record/watch TV, listen to music, play games, etc. I have it hooked up to a 40" flat panel LCD HDTV and have loved running and HTPC since I bought the TV in December. Hopefully this next system lives up to what I'm hoping it will be.

The GeminII cooler may not fit. But the Tuniq is also too heavy IMO.
I would pick this; it has good clearance and is one of the best coolers on the market. Except for this obviously.
But it's all down to personal preference.
I really like the Thermalright SI-128 SE that you recommended. My last Thermalright was able to cool my 3.4E @ 3.7GHz processor down when my old Zalman could not. Do you know if this will fit? I'm not sure the larger Thermalright will fit in my case...
Another option I was thinking about is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019

Will a Zalman CNPS7000-Cu fit on an MSI KM4AM-L Motherboard?

The subkect line says it all:
Will a Zalman CNPS7000-Cu fit on an MSI KM4AM-L Motherboard?
If not, then I need some recommendation for a low profile (low hieght) HSF that's quiet - quieter than my stock HSF that came with my AMD 3000 XP.
This is not the computer in my signature below - it's for a friend ;-)
Thanks,
Randy R...

I don't think so, but if you add an 'A': Zalman CPU Fan Socket A/478/754 CNPS7000A-Cu.
Be very careful! It is much heavier than recommended. And it IS a bit tricky to attach. But when finally there it does a marvellous and quiet job. Zalman's site is a bit difficult to search in the way you would like to:

Msi 970 gaming bios locked bus ratio of CPU/NB amd fx6300

My machine: amd fx6300 3.5 ghz
gskill 2x4 GB rjpsawx 1866
samsung 850 evo
psu Seasonic P1000 80 plus platinum
I overclocked cpu to 4.5ghz, HTlink @2400, ram xmp 1866 1.5vol stable
My temperature when fulload is 60*
But this main locked bus ratio of cpu/nb is 10, i can't change bus ratio. My NB frenquence is @2000
When i change cpu is phenom ii x4 955be, i can change cpu/nb, oc that to 2600, so fine.
I think that the bios of 970 gaming not good. I try all version bios of msi 970 gaming but i get the same result.

Can you press enter and select the NB ratio? Would you upload a screenshot?

MSI 970 GAMING CPU Voltage

Hello all.
I have a problem with my CPU voltage and OC'ing.
First little backround, I did have Gigabyte GA-ma770-UD3 (rev2.1) before i upgraded to MSI 970 Gaming. I was able to OC The 1600T CPU to 4000MHz with 1.55V and it was prime95 stable 24h, but i kept CPU clock at 3800MHz 1.45V prime95 stable 24h as i didnt want to kill my CPU beacause of high voltage, oh and was using 4x1gb DDR2 900MHz.
Sooo. Now i've been playing with this new mobo, and im little confused. My CPU VCORE is 1.392V, voltage setting set AUTO on BIOS, my previous build with gigabyte mobo had this set to 1.350V on AUTO in BIOS.
Could the "wrong voltage" value be because of my prosessor is "AMD Processor Model Unknown" in CPU-Z and BIOS says the same.
Also the whole overclocking is not fun anymore, seems that i cant achieve any higher STABLE OC than 3700MHz and that takes too much voltage, around 1.5V.
I really feel that there is something wrong with the mobo or the bios, as i have tried OC'ing with my old motherboard and i can OC my CPU well better than with my current MSI 970 Gaming. And i think this mobo should do better or atleast equal to my old mobo.

you have to make sure that your CPU could be properly recognize in the bios first

Aftermarket CPU cooler to fit P7N Diamond

Is there anyone who can recommend a good aftermarket CPU cooler that will fit on the new P7N Diamond?
Best regards /Pär

I'm sorry!
I missed to tell you what cpu I'm planing on using. Hopefully the new Intel Wolfdale: Core 2 Duo E8500 slightly overclocked.
I've read about the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme. Seems to be a very good cpu cooler.
Any recommendations on a good 120mm fan for it?
The goal is a not to loud computer..
Any other recommendations....that will fit?
Regards! /Pär

CPU cooler that works with K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard

I have read that some say the Zalman interferes on this board with the 1, and 2 ram slots, is this true? I'm using the 3500 Winchester CPU.
Does someone have a part number if the Zalman is; a) the best, and b) clears properly.
Also I see everyone talking about Artic Silver 5. What does the"5" mean? I have Artic Silver that I have been using for about 2 years, but there iis no designation "5". Do I need the new stuff?
Thanks

I don’t know muck about artic silver, but I have a comment on the cpu-cooler question.
I recently bought a K8N SLI Platinum, which has an almost identical layout as the Neo4 Platinum. I use a Termalright XP 120 cooler which according to there webpage does not fit on this board. But I didn’t had much problem at all! It is tight with the first ram slot thaw, and with a memory just a few millimetres higher than mine it wouldn’t fit (I use TwinMOS PC3200).
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s a similar situation with the Zalman coolers, but I really like to recommend the XP120 (or even XP80) anyway. It keeps my cpu (althorn 3000+) at almost the same temp as the sounding system, during normal use. And since you are free to put any fan you like, you have a very good start making your system really quiet.

Can anyone share a step by step instruction on how to use M-flash?MSI 970 Gaming

I've been researching online and alot of the information regarding on how to do this are really inconsistent and outdated. even the video shown here stops at the end and doesn't explain what you need to do once u get back into the bios. I've also pinged MSI tech support and they are very vague and sound speculative in their answers. HELP! this is for an MSI 970 gaming board.

procedure same as the Xpower video.
1. Put the bios file in the root folder of your USB pen drive
2. Go to bios --> Mflash --> Select one file to update bios
The system will then start to flash the bios.
3. After flash success then just remember to go to bios and press F6 then F10
Note: there is always risk in updating bios, if you don't encounter any issues at all then there's no need to update your bios

What is the best card I can use for my MSI K9A2 CF Motherboard

I have been trying to read some threads, but I cannot find out any info on what would be the best card for my MSI K9a2 CF ver 1 motherboard. I would like to up grade but I don't want to buy a new system.
I was thinking about the an Nvidia 460GT 768mb
MSI K9A2 CF motherboard
AMD Phenom X4 940
Corsair XMS 6400 4gb
Corsair 750 watt power supply

Quote from: scottyb70 on 20-November-10, 23:21:53
My question is my Corsair has only one 12v rail at 60 amps. The MSI says it requires two. I don't think my powersupply would be able to handle this card?
That refers to 2 PCIe 6 pin power connectors not +12V rails on the PSU.

Cpu cooler for K9N6PGM2-V

Hi!
Can someone please recommend me a decent CPU cooler that fits K9N6PGM2-V board, will be used for Phenom II x3 720 CPU.
both memory slots are used.450W power supplier.
i am intending to over clock it as well.
Regards.

Quote from: Stu on 30-October-11, 18:44:30
What are you planning to do with it?
If you're not overclocking, then the standard cooler that comes with retail boxed CPU will be just fine.
i bought this CPU without retail box, so without cooler ,and i do want to overclock it in the future.

ThermalTake BigWater CPU Cooler

Can anyone confirm if a ThermalTake BigWater CPU Cooler is compatable with a Neo2 Platinum 54G motherboard for socket 939 Athlons (Nforce3).
I ask as it only has 2 holes to mount the CPU block on the motherboard and I think you need 4 holes?
Any help would be appreciated.

[Share]Cooling down 970 Gaming!

From MSI TW Forum
link：https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113191.0
The story happened in a frigid night few weeks ago. I turned on my computer since I want to play Watch Dog, which is a very popular game recently. Huh? No response? I tried several times and wondering if I forgot to connect the plug? But I never unplug my socket! After some easy tests, I reckon the computer is dead…but I’ve just got chapter 2 of my Watch Dog!!!
I sent my computer to fix station immediately, hoping they can save my computer’s life. After a few minutes, the clerk announced frigidly “The motherboard is dead.”
One thing is still lucky, my FX-4170 and R7850 are still alive! For a new PC, I decided to replace and upgrade the original one with an AM3+ motherboard. The shop owner showed some AM3+ motherboards to me, one is MSI 970 Gaming, and this is the first time we met. :> Of course, I took it home.
My equipment:
CPU: AMD FX-4170
RAM: Vengeance Low Profile 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Kit
MB: AMD 970 GAMING
VGA: R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC
PSU: ENERMAX Platimax 750W CrossFireX
COOLER: Thermaltake Frio Advanced
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit
Except the cooler and motherboard, the rest are old ones.
For the heatsink design, I really like the dragon, and the cooling effect seems great.
There are only 2 USB 3.0 ports for rear IO, but you can expand with front panel.
The capacitors next to Audio Boost look very powerful.
Here is a weak point, 8 pin port of power supply is too close to heat sink, so it’s easy to get stuck if you have fat fingers…
Heat sink panel is designed with nice hair texture with classic MSI dragon shield.
And my old friend FX-4170.
I upgrade my normal stock fan to a Thermaltake tower fan and assemble it for ten minutes with manual…
You need to take the original stand off if you need a tower fan. The new stand of tower fan looks better!
The point of this photo is the height of tower fan. For my memory the height is fine but higher level memory, like OC memories, could get stuck because there is not enough space.
This motherboard is not too hot when it goes with normal stock fan, the worst situation is a little hot when you touch it. After use tower fan, the temperature is always between 35-42 degrees; in addition, the heat sink becomes just a little warm. I can say 970 Gaming’s heat sink design is quite good and got great result of cooling, if you use extra two fans, you can reach much lower degrees.
The temperature is CPU constantly running half hour with 100%, the highest degree so far is 52 degrees. I think it’s low enough, because I’ve seen some CPU temperature up to 20 degrees for watching YouTube only. Therefore, I believe the importance of heat sink and fans match or not.
Of course using AMD with low temperature works very smoothly, Watch Dog can run with full mode although there is a little latency, so just need to switch down a bit and you can enjoy it! Finally, I assembled my new computer and continue my Watch Dog. :D Although the equipment almost same with the old version, but I can feel better performance from new motherboard! In the past, use all the effect with full mode has more latency than now.
變成了這個有希望的姿勢了…
There is a story behind the pic. When I was going to the mission location happily and found out this person robbing poor people. At that time, my justices tell me to give the poor people a help, so I knock down the robber and kick his ass “accidently “, then he laid down with this “hope pose”…
Let’s end with view of the back of Aiden Pearce.

On this motherboard are going to be aimed at gaming only, so MSI avoids adding in power/reset buttons as well as a two-digit debug which we might see on more expensive models. MSI also eschews the OC Genie button on this board, which is a shame as a basic OC would help this platform in general. Providing a lookup table of overclocks takes time for each CPU range to be considered, and perhaps it is not worth the time on the 970 chipset.

Do fan " Zalman CNPS7000A-CU" fit in a MSI " 865PE Neo2-LS" Motherboard?

Hi
I´m trying to find out if anyvony in this forum has the experience of fitting a cooling unit (Zalman CNPS7000A-CU) on a MSI 865PE Neo2-LS motherboard.
The case is a Antec Sonata 380W With 1 exhaust fan (120mm).......
Should I expect any problems.......its a big cooling unit...
Best regards
Mr Lithesteel

No, the Zalman-CNPS-7000-AlCu CPU Cooler will Fit with NO problem, and Room to Spare ....And It Will Take you More Time to Remove the "Stock" Intel HSF Unit, Then it will to Install the New Zalman 7000-AlCu ......I have this HSF on All 3 Of My Systems ..And I Happen to think that the Zalman is the Best......And yes I have tried the Thermaltake.....And still Prefer the Zalman ..But with "only" one 120mm Exaust Fan ..You should at Least Install 1 120mm or 80mm Intake Fan...............Sean REILLY875

MSI A88XM GAMING | Can't boot with new PCI-e x1 card plugged in

Hi,
I'm a owner to an MSI A88XM GAMING motherboard and I purchased a AverMedia Live Gamer HD card last week. After unboxing and installing the card to one of my PCI-e x1 slots the computer won't boot. All what happends is what the fans starts and the power LED turns on, but that's all. No beeps or anything.
I know for sure what the AverMedia Live Gamer HD card is working just fine, as I've already tested it on my old computer. I've also tested if it might have been a power issue, by disconnected everything and running it on a towel outside the case, still the same result. Connecting it to any of the other 3 PCI-e ports gives the same result. All the PSU cables are properly connected and the motherboard has the latest BIOS version on it.
Is there any way to get it to work on my computer? I would really like to avoid switching motherboard is possible. Using a 2:nd computer is also not an option, as I want to be able to just take it with me without any issues.
My Computer
Motherboard: MSI A88XM GAMING
CPU: AMD A10-7850K
RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast 2400MHz 2x8GB
GFX: XFX R9 280X 3GB DD Black
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB
Case: BitFenix Prodigy M Black
PSU: Corsair 760W (don't remember the model)
OS: Win 8.1 Pro x64

Quote from: jfreiman on 15-October-14, 16:54:29
Well, someone is doing something with the BIOS because they sent me 1.2B6 a couple weeks ago for the same 88XM GAMING motherboard -- and it didn't fix my Display Port issues. Maybe the changes were to the PCIe timings?
I didn't want to test any more 1.2 beta builds, due to earlier problem with them. But I'll give the final build of v1.2 a try later today, I didn't notice what it had been released.
Quote from: Alcifer on 18-October-14, 01:47:13
Out of curiosity, have you tried the video output from the motherboard, instead of the 280x, when you have card installed? (Make sure the IGP is enabled in bios)
That was one of the very first things I tried, did so after my 2:nd post on the forum. You can find the results here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183220.msg1315289#msg1315289
I've contacted the AverMedia Support, hopefully they should be able to find the issue. It's possible what it might be a firmware related issue.
I've also searched around on the XSplit forum if there's anyone else what have run into the same problem. But couldn't find anything, so I made a thread and asked directly instead. I got a reply from someone on the Support Staff, but he couldn't find anything either.
