SLI and P35 Platinum Mobo

Is it possible to run a setup with two 6800GT cards on the MSI P35 Platinum Motherboard? If it is, any idea where I might find an SLI bridge for the cards?
Thanks
Pete

SLI requires an nVidia chipset that supports it. You have a board that uses an Intel chipset.

P35 Platinum Mobo - PC will not power off, restarts immediately

After 4 weeks of excellent performance my new PC will not shut down but restarts immediately. I have tried the following, reseated all power connectors, set bios to "failsafe", reset CMOS and checked all other cable connections to drives etc so I am now stuck.
I am running Vista Ultimate, Core 2/Quad E9300, 4gb Ram, 2 X 500gb samsung SATA HDD's, Nvidia GeForce 9600GT. The only thing I did not check before posting was the BIOS version so I will reboot and post it subsequently.
Any help much appreciated,
TIA,
Colin

Hello corkyboy,
in BIOS, go to the section labeled Power Management Setup -> Wake Up Event Setup and disable all options that have to do with Resume (especially Resume by PCI Device (PME#) and Resume by PCI-E Device).
Quote
Bios details: A7345Ims v1.4 090407
Also, note that your CPU is not officially supported before BIOS A7345IMS.180 (v1.80). If you decide to update your BIOS at any point please do not use MSI Live Update but the forum's USB flashing tool. It is a much safer method.

P35 Platinum and eSata problem

I recently bought a WD My Book Premium ES 500GB and when i try to connect it via eSata cable, it doesn't work.My system can't recognize the drive, it doesn't show up in BIOS screen where HDD's are. I tried 2 different eSata cables but nothing.Via USB2 connection it works fine.
My system Specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600,MSI P35 Platinum Mobo with latest BIOS update 1.1, 2GB RAM DDR2, Asus X1950XT VGA,Tagan 500W PSU.
I tried both eSata ports at the Back Panel of my motherboard but none worked with My Book.
Is there a problem with My Book? or is a compatibility issue?

Make sure you have set the switch or whatever your external drive has, to E-Sata mode. I'm sure you probably already did that but just sayin!
I have a different board AND different external drive but after playing with my setup for a whole day trying to get the esata to work, it finally dawned on me that I had not set the switch from USB to Esata (no wisecracks please
As soon as I did the switch, the Esata started working just fine.

Problem installing MSI P35 Platinum & MSI NX8600GT & windows XP

Hi all,
I just bought my MSI P35 platinum mobo and MSI NX8600GT graphics card.
Was trying to install XP on it. During installation, got the following error message :
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:

P35 Platinum - CPU Cooler of Choice for a Quiet Solution

Hello Everyone...I'm going to put together a build with a P35 Platinum mobo. Would others care to offer what CPU Coolers they are using that are quiet? I want to go with a 100+mm fan solution, but I'd like to hear from others here with any good or bad luck with a larger cooler on this board.
Thanks!

Thanks for responses, very helpful. I have a slight worry about the board having enough room for a larger cooler and wondered if anyone here had some experience with size limitations. If a Scythe Ninja would fit, then probably anything would fit.
Sorry to spawn another thread off this topic, but my other concern was the reports of the heatsink being used on the P35 for the south bridge sitting up a bit high and preventing video cards (i.e. 8800 GTS/GTX) from seating properly. I did see a post in here some place referring to that, and the poster stated the heatsink was not preventing the card from seating in the socket far enough to prevent connectivity. But that was the only reference I found in this forum. Does anyone have anything new to say in this regard as well? What cards are people using with this board would be helpful. I am a huge MSI fan so don't sling anything at me, but I find it disappointing that this issue occurred and even a review on the P35 with an MSI graphics cards was used to demonstrate this flaw (http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/462). So I suspect that some video cards may be fine based on their design and I would like to know which if possible.
Thanks for your support and continued spending!

Difference between K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and K8N-SLI Platinum

Hey guys.... I have one question and i hope you can help me.
I'm about to get an MSI SLI Platinum motherboard, but it seems that there are two versions, the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI and the K8N-SLI Platinum.
What is the real difference between them? As i can see in the manual, the Neo4 version has the additional SATA2 and Gbit LAN controller.
Anyone: Does your K8N-SLI board have 4 or 6 SATA2 ports? and 1 or 2 LANs?
At this picture http://www.midtdata.dk/asp/index.asp?varernr=K8N-SLI-PLAT&goto=productinfo&mainfunc=link I can see that there are 6 blue SATA connectors (lower right corner), and 2 LAN ports left to the LPT port... But the description says 4 SATA and 1 LAN, and so says the manual.
To all owners of this mobo: Does this picture look like your K8N-SLI Platinum or does it look like your K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI ?

P35 Platinum and MSI 8600 GT problem

I have a problem with the computer locking up. It will do it on certain web sites, clicking around in Media player and other programs. I tried everything I could think of. Finally I Got an 8400 video card locally and everything is fine. My question is, since the 8600 GT gets all of it's power from the PCIE slot could it be a voltage problem? If so, I see no way of increasing the PCIE voltage in the bios for this MB.
Any ideas before I send this card back?
Thanks,
Bill
Msi P35 Platinum Motherboard
Core2Duo 6850
2 gig Corsair XMS2 6400C4D Dominator Memory
OCZ Stealth X Stream 600 Watt Powersupply

It locked up with default bios settings and no overclocking. I didn't overclock the video card at all. I tried everything. Since I put in a temporary 8400GTS I have the processor overclocked to 3.3gig and everything is fine. Could the 8400 need less power than the 8600GT and if so is there a way to increase the voltage on the 16X PCIE slot? This is a MSI MB and MSI Video card so I would expect them to work together.

P35 Platinum and Vista/ACPI issue

I'm having problems trying to get Vista installed on my P35 Platinum-based system. I'm getting an error at the beginning of Vista's installation that the BIOS doesn't support ACPI. Well, that option is turned on in the BIOS, and I've toggled just about every setting under the Power Management section of the BIOS config utility, but nothing makes a difference. I flashed the latest (1.2) BIOS to the board, no change. I'm also seeing the computer go to a 'Safe to turn off your computer' screen rather than it just powering off - is this related?
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

ACPI has to be enabled before you install XP. If you re-enable it after installing XP, you will get a bluescreen. If you used an existing Windows Installation, that was set up under different system conditions, it probably didn't have the proper HAL drivers for the new configuration.
If you re-install XP with ACPI, IOAPIC and MPS Table = 1.4 you shouldn't have any problems.

Device Manager does not permit the change from a Non-ACPI HAL to an ACPI HAL. You must use a new install of Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 for this kind of change. Change from an ACPI HAL to a Non-ACPI HAL only for troubleshooting purposes.

P35 Platinum and WD Hard Disks unrecognised on cold boot

Hi,
I am having a problem with my WD drives on my P35 Platinum motherboard. Simply, if I power down my PC neither drive is recognised when I boot up again. Usually I have to open the PC, reseat the SATA cables (this may be a red herring) and then when restarted the drives are recognised again.
A simple restart from within Windows (warm boot) works every time.
I would have suspected a cabling connection problem, except that I have tried other cables and also the fact that it is both drives every time, rather than one, other or both randomly.
I have seen other people having problems with the spin-up time of WD drives and have disabled quick booting in the BIOS, but this has not helped much. I have also verified that the RAID Mode is set to IDE, as I am not using any RAID features.
The disks themselves are plugged into SATA3 & SATA4, whilst my Pioneer DVD Writer is plugged into SATA5.
I have the latest BIOS installed but cannot remember the version number off the top of the head, my full hardware spec is in my sig and the 160GB drive is my system disk.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try?
Apart from this issue my PC works flawlessly.
Regards,
Charles

CoolerMaster 700W REAL POWER PRO MODULAR PSU (RS-700-ASAA-A1)
I would suggest not to use a CoolerMaster REAL POWER PSU for your P35 Platinum. There are known compatibility issues with these devices:

not being able to power on with the Cooler Master Real Power Pro 750w PSU. After I push the power button, it will light up for a second and the fans will spin, but it just doesn't power up. I am able to power it on with some generic 500w PSU and my girlfriend's Silverstone 850w PSU, but it always fails to power up when I plug the Cooler Master PSU in.

System powers on for a split second, then powers off. System will boot with another power supply, just not this one.

Just FYI though, it appears (by some comments on Newegg.com) that there is some compatibility issue between my CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 750W and the P35 Neo2-FR motherboard. The power supply worked fine by itself, and the motherboard ended up working fine with a different power supply (Antec Neopower 650 Blue).

We had the same (ground) issues with Real Power Pro 550W, 650W and 750W.
In fact all of them are based on the same "hardware"

They suspect a ground issue, but also have been reported several 12V rail "abnormal behaviours".

P35 Platinum and NX8800GTS

I have both motherboard and graphic card from MSI (oh yeah ):
- Graphic card : NX8800GTS T2D640OE
- Motherboard : P35 Platinum (MS-7345 v1.x)
And I have question about power connectors on board of graphic card and motherboard. On motherboard there is power connector sweetly called JPWR1, described in manual as "JPWR1 12V power connector is used to provide power to the PCIEX16 graphics card".
But on graphic card is already power connector. I can plug in specific cable that divides in two normal power connectors to connect to power supply.
It is safe to plug in all three connectors to power supply? (one to JPWR1 on motherboard, two to graph card through this special cable)
It is even neccessary to plug in all connectors?

Maybe I will buy another hard drive in future, but nothing more.
I punched your component list into the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator v2.5. Only the Pro-Version (not free) shows the amperages on the different rails (+12V, +5V, +3,3V). The overall wattage if a PSU doesn't really really mean anything without the amperage values.
Anyways, I selected "High End Desktop Mainboard", "2 SATA drives" in the component list, added three 120mm fans, three USB devices and one additional PCI card. I also set CPU Utilization (TDP) to 100%.
The result is:
Quote
373W
+12V: 23A
+5V: 13.4A
3.3V: 9A
On the bottom the is footnote to the option called "Electrolytic capacitor aging" that says:
Quote
When used heavily or over an extended period of time (1+ years) a power supply will slowly lose some of its initial wattage capacity. We recommend you add 10-20% if you plan to keep your PSU for more than 1 year, or 20-30% for 24/7 usage and 1+ years.
When I enter 15% the calculation adds up to:
Quote
429W
+12V: 26.5A
+5V: 15.4A
3.3V: 10.4A
Finally, I overclocked your CPU to 4GHz / VCore 1.4V:
Quote
481W
+12V: 30.8A
+5V: 15.4A
3.3V: 10.4A
I don't know how accurate these calculations are. In any case, they should give you an idea of your systems power consumption. When I choose PSUs I always make sure I have a headroom of about 30% in the +12V-amperages. So if I was you I would get a PSU with about 36-40A maximum amperage on the +12V-Rail, depending if I plan to overclock the CPU or not.
Many users in this forum will recommend choosing a Single +12V-rail PSU. One of the reason is you won't have to worry about problems due to inbalanced power loads or wasted power resources.
If you plan to get a PSU with two +12V-rails, make sure that the maximum amperage on each rail is at least 18-20A. Maximum combined amperage on +12V should not be less than 36-40A.

P35 Platinum and Patriot Memory DDR2 PC6400

Hello,
I've tried to adjust RAM Timings, RAM Voltage and RAM frequency manually on my P35 Platinum with BIOS 1.4. I had a reboot loop at CAS 4 so I've tried to put at 1000 MHZ ratio 2:3 after a clear CMOS. It's working.
Now my Patriot Memory is working at CAS 5 ratio 2:3 2,2V and 1000 MHz.
Should I carry on my "quest" to CAS 4 or are these settings good enough? I'm quite lost.....What should I have to do?
Does Patriot Memory owners experienced the same issue? Why can't they be set to CAS 4?
One more thing: After the Post, the Marvell Bios loads but find no hard disk on adapter 1. With Bios 1.1, there was no problem. Do you have any explanations?
Thanks

Hello Spikape,
please list full system specs and provide more information about the specific model/type of Patriot Memory you are using.

Can you try to be more specific about this? Was it an on-->off-->on-->boot cycle or did your system reboot multiple times?

I want to set manualy all this options :
tRFC , tRD , Write to precharge delay , Write to read delay (tWTR ) , tRRD , tRD_WR , tRTP , tREF . CR
Some of this setings are not in bios. What bios should i use ? or what can i do to have acces to manualy configure this ???

Hello,
note that the P35 Chipset natively supports only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 memory modules. From the point of view of the memory controller, DDR2-1066 is already overclocking.

One reason for inventing DDR3-RAM was to be able to reach higher frequencies. So you may have reached the limits here.
