SATA connectors on the P35 Platinum board

P35 Platinum Motherboard
In the BIOS setup, "Standard CMOS Features" section, why is it showing 6 sata drives when the motherboard has only 5 SATA connectors available.
And does anyone how to connect the drives so they appear as sata1 and sata2 drives in this particular section of the BIOS

The ICH9R-Chipset hosts 4 SATA ports and two eSATA ports (=6 in BIOS).
The Marvell-Chipset provides one additional SATA port and an IDE port (they won't appear in BIOS, because all drives attached to these ports are handled by the Marvell-Controller BIOS.
Thanks for the explanation. I have not been diligent enough, in other words lazy to read the manual.

Why does it matter to you?
I just thought it will make a difference. And besides I was just used to see it in my old PC (BIOS) where the drives are listed from top to bottom, the "not detected" ones being on the bottom.

  • Changing from the 975X PowerUp to the P35 Platinum?

    Hi,
    would it be a good move to change from the 975X to the P35 Platinum with the components you see below?
    I'm mostly interest in a better performance and a motherboard that's ready for the future.

    I would consider one of the upcoming X38 boards if I was you.  Wait until these boards are on the market and watch user reviews and problem reports. The prices should have dropped a little in 2008.
    You live in Germany, if I remember correctly, right?  Did you have a chance to notice the X38 Hydrogen-Watercooling board yet?  It will be a limited edition in cooperation with watercool.de:

    As far as I know, there will also be a Combo-Version of the Hydrogen-Board.

  • Can't find the two spare SATA connectors on the MOBO.

    I was told there are two unused SATA connectors on the 8-core Mac Pro MOBO, but I can't find them and they are not shown in book that came with the computer. Can someone tell me where to look? I need one of the spare SATA connectors for a new BluRay drive.

  • Can someone explain the functionality of the 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 board

    Hello,
    please explain the functionality of the 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 board.
    I would like to have the pinouts (explanation) of this particular connector
    kind regards
    the lab mouse

    Hi,
    Using the SCXI-1600 for anything other than controlling a SCXI chassis is NOT supported by NI!
    The SCXI-1600 is based on a 16-bit MIO board. There is some additional functionality that is not used while controlling the SCXI chassis. The SCXI-1600 has 8 analog input channels, 8 DIO channels, and 2 counters; there is no analog output support on this board. There is a 50-pin connector inside the SCXI-1600 that can be used to access all of these channels.
    Through Daqmx and Internal I/O filtering you can access these channels trough software. There is no pin-layout available because we do not support this.
    Regards.

  • Will scythe ninja fit in the P35 Platinum

    as asked above will a scythe ninja 1100 have clearance issues in the roller coaster board , MSI P35 Platinum?

    try to ask the heatsink supplier? they should be able to give you the answer (as they are the one wanting to sell their product)

  • Toshiba Qosmio x770 - there is no SATA connector in the 2nd drive bay.

    I called Toshiba tech support and spoke with shekinah in the phillipines about this issue.  She told me the same thing 5 times over and over in the span of the 2 hour call. I asked to talk to her supervisor or the "lead tech" she kept talking about.  She flat out refused.  She kept telling me that I just need to plug in a 2nd hard drive.  I explained again that this is impossible as there is no cable of any kind or an sata connector.  With the x505 version you needed to purchase a seperate 2nd hard drive cage but the sata connector was there. There is a picture attached that shows what I mean.  I looks like the part is a tiny laptop ribbon cable that would connect above the primary hard drive and then terminate at an sata connector that you screw down right before the primary hard drive.  Looks like there might be some sort of hard drive cage required for it too.
    Is there a way to purchase just the ribbon cable and sata adapter so I can add my own 2nd hard drive???
    I would be willing to buy a 2nd hard drive with an included cable/sata adapter if it's not insanley expensive.  I would obviously rather not do this.
    There is no email that I can find for toshiba tech support and the phillipens call center is not worth calling.

    You might find some help by reading the following:
    Go to "Toshiba Forums" and scroll down to "Satellite Laptops::all others" open it and find the "Subject", "Second internal Hard drive P775----" with 1040+ Views (Note there are two listings on this subject). It should make for interesting reading.

  • Two Questions regarding the P965 Platinum Board

    EDIT:  I've removed my second questions and reposted it in the overclocking forum since that's where it belongs. ( https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=106416.0 )
    I've recently built a system using the P965 board.  I've got a Watercooled E6300 Processor, eVGA 8800GTX Superclocked video card, 2GB of Corsair XM2 DDR2 800 Ram, 700w thermaltake PSU.
    Question:  Someone told me that this board doesn't like NVIDIA cards running in SLI.  I've got one 8800GTX but hope to add a second one down the road.  Is this actually an issue for this board?  Is there a workaround of any kind?

    Quote
    My homework consisted of 4 or 5 reviews of the motherboard and newegg.com specifications/user reviews.
    If they mentioned SLI they were not very good reviews.  And if they didn't, well, what does that tell you?
    Quote
    Is there a workaround of any kind?
    Anyway. As I said before.  SLI is not impossible.  I am sure that there are or will be modded drivers for the 8800-cards that should allow you to operate two cards in SLI-mode.  A friend of mine used modded drivers to run two 7800 cards in SLI-mode on the 975X Platinum PUE.
    Just note, that on the 975X the two PCIe-x16-Slots work as x8/x8 in Crossfire-mode.  Since the secondary PCIe-Slot on the 965 Platinum only supports x4 you would have considerably limited bandwith even with Crossfire. 

  • P35 Platinum can handle 4x1GB ?

    I'd like to know from other whether they can confirm/deny the P35 Platinum board can handle all the 4 slots filled with a 1GB module, other sites seem to report problems with this config and the P35 chipset (something to do with the limited Northbridge capacity), but I really am curious after your experiences.
    At what FSB + mem speeds where you able to use all the 4 slots ?

    He, many thanks for that ...
    I noticed you set the RAID mode to AHCI, but have you then subsequently setup a RAID in the BIOS with just 1 hard drive, or didn't you have to do that ? Did you use the Intel Matrix Storage driver under Vista/XP or just the default Windows AHCI drivers ?

  • Molex power on the P35 board

    I know that you don't need the extra Molex on the 975X Platinum, but...
    Does the P35 Platinum Combo require the extra Molex for the PCIe bus, or can a (one card) system run fine without it?
    Thanks

    hmmm Ive also wondered the same thing myself recently...
    Ive never plugged anything in anywere with my 8500gt but up till about a month ago i didn't even know about this....
    ^just to be clear,is this the MOLEX connector were all talking about...and since mine is working fine without it should i plug it in?
    (just upgraded from a 17"crt alone to 22"lcd+the 17"as secondary last week)
    i would've started my own thread but i figure this could help ivybat also  

  • What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?

    What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?
    P35 Platinum
    P35 Neo2 FIR
    BIOS is identical?

    The P35 Neo2 is FIR is actually listed as P35 Neo2 FR/FIR. It is what you could call a "modular mainboard".  Even if it has the same PCB as the P35 Platinum mainboard, it doesn't necessarily mean, that it will always come with the same features.
    If you look at the mainboard manual you will find that the ICH9R-Chipset and Firewire are mentioned as optional features. That means you will be able to purchase versions of this mainboard that will only have an ICH9 chipset and therefore won't support RAID or that don't have a firewire interface. 
    The abbreviation F,I and R have the following meaning:
    F...Gigabit LAN
    I... Firewire
    R...RAID
    In case you decide to buy the P35 Neo2 mainboard, pay close attention to the feature list. Even if the board is listed as FIR by a specific dealer, make sure it really comes with firewire and an ICH9R-chipset. If someone decides to sell the board with the full name that appears on the MSI Support Site (FR/FIR) he might be actually trying to sell a P35 Neo2-F trying to get a better price. 

  • MSI P35 Platinum EEPROM

    Hi, I need some information urgently. My friend owns the Asus M4A79 Deluxe motherboard. I'ts about 2 weeks old now, and he tried to mod his BIOS. It failed, because he didn't follow my precise instructions. Now, he has nothing more than a piece of paper, it's dead.
    Is there anyone that can tell me where I can find the EEPROM of my MSI P35 Platinum motherboard? Where is the EEPROM located on the MS-7345 motherboard? I know it'll be an 8-pin IC, which is soldered to the board.
    My idea is to do a hotflash, i want to desolder my BIOS chip & solder a IC holder to the board, then, use my mobo as an EEPROM Programmer. I don't want to disasemble my whole PC just to find out that the EEPROM is integrated in the chipset, so if possible, can anyone tell me wheter the MSI P35 Platinum has an EEPROM located on the board & where exactly can I find it?

    Quote
    I was wondering, isn't it possible to connect his BIOS chip to my motherboard's JSPI1 connector & program it from there?
    I highly doubt that.  But even if that was possible, how would you want to establish communication from (let's say) DOS to whatever you connect to the JSPI1 header?  
    Quote
    but it's not 100% straight forward, I'll have to read up on this.
    I am sure, you will figure it out.  
    Quote
    Also, I'll build the LPT circuit as soon as I have time, but with which tool will I reprogram the chip with?
    Oh, you will definately find it, once you do some reading (there are direct links to it in the articles I pointed you to).  However, here is a link to the English Download Site of the Czech Programmer that made it:
    http://www.volny.cz/rayer/programm/programe.htm
    Scroll down until you see a tool called SPIPGM in the list.
    When I used the an older version of the tool (after building the described SPI Cable) to reprogram the BIOS Chip of my P45 Platinum after a bad flash, the tool did not entirely support the chip yet (Macronix MX25L3205 in my case).  However, it was able to detect it anyway (FlashROM JEDEC ID: EF3016h) and when it does not know its size it will simply prompt you to enter it.
    An additional alternativ, which may actually be the fastest way to fix things, would be to simply order a new chip and have it programmed for you with a working BIOS Image.  I don't know where you live and what places there are near you that offer this kind of service.  Over here in Germany, I know at least one place that does this kind of stuff:

    I was considering to use an old ATi Graphics Card as an EEPROM Programmer, since it also has an 8-pin EEPROM with the exact same pinout. The hardware is not problem, I can quickly assemble it, but the software would be the problem, ATi's tools wont program an 8-megabit (1 megabyte) BIOS chip?
    Another thing, the LAN ROM of the P35 Platinum, that can also be used?
    No idea, never tried that nor have I ever thought about it.

  • Need Help with Memory OC to 1066 on P35 Platinum Combo

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get my Corsair Dominator memory to 1066, but everytime I change settings, the system will not post. So far I've:
    - Disabled EIST & DOT
    - Disabled 'Configure DRAM Timing by SPD' and set values to 5-5-5-15 (left all others as is)
    - Processor reports 333x9
    - Set ratio to 1:1.6.7 bringing adjusted timings to 1109. I also have 1:1.2 for 1332 & 1:1.50 for 999
    - Memory voltage set to 2.1
    Not sure where to go from here as other MS reported here seem to have different settings than the P35 Platinum Combo.
    Specs are:
    - Intel E8400 3.0GHz Dual Core (45nm)
    - MSI P35 Platinum Combo
    - Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4
    - Xigmatek NRP-MC651 650W Modular PSU
    - Corsair Dominator 4GB 1066 DDR2 RAM (PC2 8500)
    - Samsung 22X DVD Burner
    - Lexa Blackline Case
    Any advice welcome -- I'm at a loss.

  • QX6700 on P35 Platinum

    Hi!
    When I look at the spec for the P35 Platinum it says that quad-core is supported. However, can someone confirm that the QX6700 B0 does work on that board. It seems like it don´t work... :(
    Is it possible to get a BIOS-fix for this?
    Thanks in advance! / Anders

    Well, it is not my CPU anymore but here is somekind of hardware list:
    2gb gail 1000mhz 2.4v. 320gb dvd. x1950xtx. Bigwater 745 water cooling. 500w psu.
    He will try another CPU tonight.
    I cannot post the error message right now but I can post it later tonight I hope. It is something like 'cpu error'...
    HOWEVER (!!!!) this issue has happened to me before and that was because the B0 'misses' the CPU-string. Some BIOS do not support that. If someone can confirm the B0 works on this board, then I can continue searching for the reason to this issue.

  • Cannot get out of standby - P35 Platinum

    Hello everyone,
    I recently build myself a new rig, featuring a nice and shiny new P35 Platinum board. Here are the system specs:
    MSI P35 Platinum - BIOS version 1.4
    OCZ GameXStream SLI/Active 600W
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz overclocked to 2.88 (FSB 320)
    2x 1GB 1066Mhz PC-8500 Kingston HyperX RAM (5-5-5-15) no overclock there
    2x Seagate Barracuda 320GB in RAID 0
    Sapphire Radeon HD2900XT, 512M etc etc
    Some IDE NEC DVD+/-RW Drive
    Here comes the problem. I put my system on standby, and down it went. I restarted it once, booted into Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit without a problem. Then I turned it off again and went away for a few hours. I came back, started the machine and... nothing. At least not on the screen: it tells me that it's not receiving a signal. All the fans are spinning, and I hear a normal, single post beeb. I opened the case, and saw led3 was constantly shining. I don't know if this was the case before the problem turned up, I never bothered to look at it. The status leds on the board have shown me varying stuff, I got all greens once, and I believe it booted to windows on that occasion. I also got it green-red-red-green once, but that pattern didn't come back. I tried to clear cmos with the button, system powered down etc etc (which didn't help), and now I'm getting green-green-red-green (searching for a floppy drive), and it's not booting to windows anymore. Which seems logical after clearing cmos, because in standard bios settings, the Intel RAID controller is disabled, so it can't find Windows anymore And now the big question... how on earth can I reset the board so that it doesn't think its standby anymore, without any display support? It seems unlikely there's a defect in the graphics card or the psu doesn't supply enough juice; the rig ran just fine the other day (also on heavy gaming/video processing).
    Please help me out, o great MSI forum experts 
    Juul

    It's really strange. On one hand, the status leds indicate the system boots normally, it even booted into Vista once (heard the vista starting sound), but on the other hand, there's NOTHING on the display. Everything seems to work just fine, except for the fact that I'm not seeing anything before the problem arose, I booted several times with the memory installed. I experienced absolutely no problems at all. I also tried to boot with only one stick, didn't solve the problem. But I will try it with a 6400 stick. I just wish I'd never ever put the stupid thing on standby. I'm thinking of an S1 / S3 problem myself. Is it possible the videocard still thinks the entire system is on S3 standby and therefore refuses to output anything to the screen? I didn't adjust any of the settings in the power management section of the bios when I still had visual access to it, by the way.

  • P35 Platinum bios upgrade

    Hi there
    Did anyone here get an error message saying "Invalid checksum" when upgrading to MSI's latest bios(1.6) for the P35 Platinum. I done the flash thru liveupdate and restarted my PC and it showed me that message then just rebooted again and into windows. Also ive never ran DualCore centre before, i installed it after i flashed the bios and it just gives me error message and doesnt run.
    Man i should have stuck with GigaByte

    Got exactly the same message after upgrading to 1.6 from 1.4 that came with the board.
    Unfortunately I'm not even able to boot up to Windows now !   
    I've switched it off and given up for the night, will try again tomorrow.....
