Temp Monitoring on 975x PUE

Hey all, my specs are in my sig. I'm wondering how best to measure North Bridge/South Bridge temps on this board. Everyone recommends different things, and I hear Everest from lots of people, but I tried it and everything seemed a little out of whack. Does anyone with this board have any known solutions?
Currently I'm using RivaTuner to monitor all temperatures: CPU0, CPU1, Core (that's VGA), Ambient (I THINK that's just on the video card but i'm not so sure, they're almost the same always), and HDD0 and HDD1 using SMART.
Also, what are safe temperatures (conservative and normal) for NB and SB?
Thanks a lot

Okay, then I'll just trust that it's all good.. Thanks as always

MSI 975X PUE weird temps

I recently bought a 975X PUE, but I get really weird temperatures. With the DualCoreCenter app I get 42C idle. Speedfan, it displays from -125C to 90C at any time. In configuration I changed from PII diode to thermistor diode. That seemed to keep it at -25C. With Core Temp Beta 0.94 Core #0 and Core #1 I got 51C-52C idle. I am using the Intel stock cooler and paste. I used the latest version of all the apps stated above. What should I do? The board is brand new and the case has really good air conduction. Also note that I am using SMART Fan, when I disable the feature DualCoreCenter gives me temp 39C on CPU and Core Temp #0 Core 45C and Core #1 44C

Yeah I found most temp progs suck in this mobo/chipset (not sure which it is) - Dual CoreCenter gives a 10c different reading compared to all other progs (no cheating there then!) and the alarm also set off constantly even though tthere were no temp breaches.
CoreTemp has also given me wierd readings.
I use Everest Ultimate 2006 as it seems to be about right (or rather the only one which didnt give wierd readings)

975x PUE & Overclocking Help

Hey guys,
I have an Intel core 2 duo 6600, MSI 975x PUE mobo, 4gb ddr 2 corsair ram. I followed the several guides on overclocking, and currently have my CPU FSB at 333, the CPU Voltage is set at auto (according to PC Wizard 2008 it's running at 1.28V), my ram multiplier is at 1:1, ram voltage is at 2.1, ram timings at 4-4-4-12 Everything so far seems stable, idle temps are in the mid 30's (celcius), however i have one problem, When i restart my PC, the computer does not post, my screen just stays black. I have to reset it again for the bios to post and the computer to boot. Anyone know what causes this and how I can resolve it? I appreciate any help!

First of, PSU corsair VX 550, cracking PSU and single rail. Would say mid budget range.....
Did you set PCI express timings to 100 instead of Auto?
Disabled spread spectrum
Also, disable SPD and maually set to 5-5-5-15
memory voltage as per manufacturers website
Do not up voltage of cpu to start with......
And lastly.......... was system stable before you started OC work?
I researched my PSU and found nothing but great reviews, it's basically the same PSU as the OCZ GameXtream 700W PSU.
PCI Express frequency is on 100
Spread Spectrum is Disabled
Memory Timings are already manually set at 5-5-5-12 as per the manufacturer (I also tried 15 but no change)
Memory voltage is at 1.9 per the manufacturer
CPU Voltage is set on Auto since upping the voltage made no change.
My System is completely stable on default settings, and its' completely stable when overclocked to 3ghz, however when i restart the computer it will not do a warm boot, I have to hit the reset button. It's more of an annoyance then anything.
Right now I have my CPU running at 2.84 and memory at 667 w/multiplier on 1.25 and my computer will do a Warm boot Just fine. I'd really like to keep it at 3ghz though.

One year later, I still have problems with the 975X PUE

A year ago, I bought the 975X PUE board and turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made when purchasing something computer-related.
To start with, the board didn't recognize the OCZ memory that I had bought, so I had to change it for some gSkill memory. That, however, involved a trip to Argentina since at the time it was very hard to get DDR2 memory @ 800 Mhz here in Uruguay. I had also complained about how the temperature monitor was unreliable and problems booting the computer.
I still have those problems, but I learned to live with it since no major problems arised. Sure, I'd have to boot three to six times just to get it running, but hey, no big deal.
Later, I decided to go for RAID1 and surprisingly, it worked so I had no new complaints.
However, lately something new has been happening. The computer seems to reboot randomly and without warning. This had happened before when lightning struck nearby (I blamed it on electro magnetic something) but now it happens all the time and I can't find a solution. I leave the computer on during the night and in the mornings, I come to find that it has rebooted when I was sleeping.
Here's what I have:
MSI 975X PUE (7.1083006)
INTEL E6600
GSKILL 4 GB DDR2 800 Mhz RAM
WD 320 GB 7200 RPM
2x WD 500 GB 7200 RPM (RAID1)
NVIDIA 8800 GTS
Windows Vista 32 bit
PSU Biswal 780W 30A +12V
I've looked over the latest firmware thread that used to be a sticky on here and noticed that everything else seems to be beta. MSI never released something better for this board? Here's that thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99818.0
The only thing that I could think of for these random reboots is that maybe the unreliable temperature sensors fool the computer and make it seem like the CPU is a lot hotter than it actually is. I've fired up Everest and right now, with only Firefox and a couple of IM clients running, CPUs are at 50 and 54 degrees celcius. Taking into account that the case is open and I'm in an air conditioned room set to 24 degrees celcius and that there's a mini Typhoon on top of the E6600 as well as a couple of fans in the case, these CPU temperatures are nearly impossible.
What's going on with this? Can anyone help me out?

Ok, lets say my PSU is degraded. That solves my spontaneous rebooting issue. How about everything else?
I still have to boot my PC 3-6 times to get it to start. Temperature monitor still sucks as well.
Is 7.1 the latest official firmware for this high-priced mobo?
Daiver the biswall brand is a very cheap one, I think you should buy a trusted PSU. In Argentina you can find many brands, like Topower and Power Cooler, that are good PSUs and at a fair price.
The latest bios for this mother is 7.7, but some users find it not so good as 7.6. I use 7.6 and works perfect.

975X PUE: SATA vs IDE Combinations: 2+2, 4, or 1+3?

Hello,
I searched but didn't find info. For a new build with a 975X PUE, what is the optimal configuration of IDE/SATA drives. I want to have a configuation like:
DRIVE PURPOSE SATA or IDE?
C: VISTA OS ?
D: Data drive 2 SATA, RAID1
E: Backup for Data ?
My question is: Should I use SATA for drives C and E or IDE? Or one of each? Is there a general rule for which is preferred? All things being equal, I prefer SATA since cables are smaller.
Thx.
Scott
PS C and E will likely be single-drive, non-RAID.

Quote from: jsmartin22 on 16-June-07, 14:51:31
I thought perhaps there would be a difference data rates between the IDE/SATA, which arise only when you reach a specific # of SATA drives--in which case it might be better to begin using IDE. Looks like I was wrong. Thx.
Scott
SATA II 300 has 3.0 Gbit/sec available per port, so the number of SATA ports used should not make a difference. There is a theoretical advantage in using SATA, as it is a serial connection instead of a parallel connection with PATA.
Furthermore, because of your RAID 1 setup, you will be using AHCI mode for the onboard Intel controller. The Intel Matrix Storage driver (used for AHCI mode) might give you a couple percents extra drive performance over an IDE interface, even when using single drives.
So SATA would be the way to go...

Recommendations for server rack temp monitoring?

Our server room isn't large, we only have one rack with two Xserves, an Xserve RAID and a few other things. But temperature is obviously a concern and I worry about the day when the portable AC unit kicks the bucket and I'm away from the office.
Does anyone have recommendations some kind of temp monitoring device with email notifications, maybe web monitoring?

At work, we use a rack-mount Senturion Environment Monitor, it monitors the temp, humidity, etc. It can send SMS and email alerts, and you can monitor it on the web, it just needs power and a network connection. We got it when our AC actually did kick the bucket and 50 servers overheated. :-/

MSI 975X PUE + MSI StarHub 7-port USB 2.0 + Windows XP SP3 = Fail

Hi,
today I bought a MSI StarHub and connected it to my computer with MSI 975X PUE and Win XP SP3. But XP does not recognize the hub. On the same computer I have Win 7 installed. There the hub works very well. Any hints to get the hub working on XP? I have same problems with my mouse, logitech G500. It works on WIN 7 and does not work on XP. What can I do?
Regards

There was no driver for the StarHub included and I did not find a driver to download on the msi homepage. When running Win7 the hub is shown as Generic USB Device in the device manager on xp it is a USB 2.0 HUB [mtt] and I do not have the driver for this.
I installed the logitech G500 driver on both, win xp and win 7, but xp does not recognize it.

SATA to SATA transfer speed for 975x PUE

hi guys, i'm using this 975x PUE currently and having this problem. when i tried to copy large data files from a SATA HDD to another SATA HDD it always takes very long time to complete. ofcoz both HDDs are internal and no RAIDS card installed.
eg : copy files about 160GB size take more than 12hrs..
i think it shouldnt take such a long time to copy such huge file. this dont happen to me in my previous pc. can anyone advise pls?

thanks hoshigami, to be honest your pc spec is as good as anyone else but i hope you have sata2 hdd and not sata1 as they are much faster than sata1 when it comes to transferring of data. also i assume your ddr2 is ddr2 800.
when i cloned about 30gb from one hdd to another hdd it took about 25 minutes therefore 160 should not take more than 2 hours in fact much less as cloning is slower process than just copying..
as far as bios is concerned there is no parameter in which it can speed up transfer of data but what you can do is go into bios then click on default setting then click yes and save and exit. and also before copying you defrag your hdd a few times or use speeditup [link below] for further defraging.
http://www.geardownload.com/system/speeditup-free-highly-recommended.html
also do you have FAT32 or NTFS file management., also your hdd 7200 RpM or 5400 RPM.
i think your prob lies with the fact you try to copy 160gb in one go by doing that large chunk of data is scattered on your hdd without being defraged.
i would first copy about 20 to 30gb then defrag hdd a few times then copy further 30gb and defrag....and so on..
to be honest i can not think of anything else . lets see what others have to say. good luck

Speedfan Configuration for 975X PUE !

Does anyone please have a link to where I can download the Speedfan configuration for the 975X PUE ?
Thankyou

Hello Jack The Newbie,
Each motherboard has to be configured differently within the Speedfan settings in order for the software to give correct readings.
The Speedfan website provides configuration settings for hundreds of different motherboards from all manufacturers but not the MSI 975X. I have no idea how to configure Speedfan myself and so was hoping to be able to download the settings from somewhere !
Thankyou for the post

It ALL works (mostly)!!! CPU Temp Monitor??

Just finished assembling my new system and loading it up this weekend, and amazingly, it works. Even with CL3 ram it runs much faster than a P4 1.8A on SiS 645/DDR333 board I had. I am amazed at how big a difference there is in the way XP Pro loads and retrieves data and how smooth it sets up. I did not have to load ANY drivers! A huge step forward from 98SE.
The only issue appears to be that the temperature monitor is out to lunch (So was my last board the SiS645 one, it did the exact same thing) for both CPU and Case. I installed a seperate case system to monitor temp and it gives me 22 deg C after I rearranged the airflow from the fans. I am thinking of drilling out the stock heatsink and inserting one of these temp monitors to real time monitor the CPU.
Has anyone come up with a good way to really monitor CPU temps with this board??

Hey,
I loaded up MBM (after I figured out what it was and where to find it). It seems pretty good: The case reads 37 deg C (my independent sensor reads 27 deg and bios says 47) and CPU reads 47 deg (bios says 57).
The real questions is : My -12 volts reads -6, and I have played with the settings to find the right sensor, and every sensor I select changes all the voltage readings. Is there a specific selection for readings that sets this up right?
Also, I found a Lian-Li temp sensor with thin tape probes that is designed to be set between CPU/Heatsink to provide real time accurate monitoring for chips (theres two, so I plan on doing CPU and NB), so I will have real data instead of hoping it is right. (19.00 US). Nice little 3.5" or 5.25" models avail in black, silver or beige.

Core temp monitor program for hp touchsmart 610-1250

Hi,
Re: HP TouchSmart 610-1250, 64 bit, Win 7.
This is a new computer, my first all-in-one, and I want to monitor core temp. My CPU gadget tells me this has no core temp monitor system. Is it possible to download a monitor?
As an all in one, I'm concerned about heat build up, since I'm using it all day.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Have you tried SIW? (System Information for Windows by Gabriel Topala) I highly recommend it. Go to the sensors page after you open it, and then It should tell you.
Please give Kudos. What other kind of recognition could I get?

975x PUE random reboots during games

Here is my setup:
MSI 975x PUE
Core 2 Duo E6300
2GB Gskill 800mhz DDR2
X1900XTX (PCI-e)
300GB HDD
Xfi Fatality
Windows XP And Vista
My system seems to reboot randomly when playing games. No warning, No errors, just straight reboot. It could be 5 mins into the game or 45mins into the game. I have tried formatting and reinstalling windows XP Pro, I also tried installing Windows Vista Ultimate, I made sure the voltage in the BIOS is setup correctly for the memory, I run memtest86 for almost 24 hours with no errors, I run Windows MemTest for about 20 hours with no errors, I run PRIME2004 for about 9 hours with no errors, I tried different RAM, I bought a new hard drive, I replaced the Power supply with a brand new Antec 650 watt. I updated the BIOS. There are games which I have played for a few hours with no reboot, Diablo 2, Neverwinter Nights 1, Quake 3, Counter Strike Source. Games that reboot the system all the time are Command and Conquer 3, World of warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online Beta, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, and Neverwinter nights 2. I have also tried installing Ubuntu, and the install goes fine, but I cannot install the video drivers, and I get a PCI error every time I boot up, the error is too quick for me to take a note of.

rma the orig gskill, corsair has always worked for me, kingston hyperX should work also, or just read through the forums for what is working for others, cheaper is not always better, it appears the 975 is picky about ram.
That would lead me to believe the MB is defective then, not the RAM. If the MB is fussy about RAM why would the onus be on the RAM manufacturer to replace the RAM until something works instead of the MB manufacturer, who is the source of the problem, to properly design their MB?
FYI I'm also having issues with my 975x PUE where it won't boot with neither my very high quality OCZ RAM nor with just basic Crucial RAM. They've RMA'd my first board and the new one fixed my original problem (wouldn't even initialize POST) only to give me different problems. MSI royally screwed-up with that board and I hope they find a solution quick because I'm not very enthusiastic about being beta tester for hardware I pay hundreds of dollars for.

Vista Drivers for 975x PUE?

So I've decided I've procrastinated enough and I'm going to install the latest Vista beta. Are there Vista drivers for the 975X PUE yet?

Quote from: Vaniireq on 15-November-06, 12:35:18
I tried Vista beta...
I hated it..
I am a gamer..
I have a good pc and nice graphics card but...
Games run much slower on Vista..
Frame rates are terrible...
Even with the Vista Nvidia drivers, games were terrible..
A word to the wise:
If you play games or do graphic stuff, stay away from Vista since even Microsoft admits that right now, gaming will be slower on Vista...
Hope that helps someone...
Be safe and have fun...
Of course it runs slower. It's a new OS. It takes more resources to run. That's the way it's always been. I remember when XP came out, and everyone was horrified that the minimum was 128, and they didn't understand why everything was so slow on that monster machine that ran so fast under 98.

MSI GeForce 6600GT temp monitoring

Hi, i was just wondering if there was a pre-modded / tested bios available that enables temp monitoring in MSI's 6600GT VTD-128. I didn't think i could hex it myself so i just wanted to know if anyone had success doing it.
Thanks,
~Snikkle

Hi you could check those sites like this : Enabling Temperature Monitoring on the nVidia 6600GT
but I wont recommend you to do that if you are don't know a lot about computers and updating/editing bios.
kind regards
and remember do it at your own risk.

RAID1 on 975X PUE

Hi,
I have the following computer:
E6600
4 x 1 GB GSkill RAM
Nvidia 8800 GTS
975X PUE
I just purchased two 500 GB Western Digital drives to do a RAID1 setup. I would like to do two partitions on them and split the space somewhere around 150 GB / 350 GB and mirror that to the other drive.
Is there a guide to do this? Any tips?
If I remember correctly, I have the 7.2 BIOS and cannot switch it because otherwise my RAM will stop working and I don't have different brands and timings of sticks to boot up if it fails. I have 4 GB RAM, but Windows only recognizes 3. If anyone knows how to solve this as well, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

One last question, at what point should I partition the drive?
After your array is properly set up, you should be able to to partition it like a regular hard drive.
Quote
Will it automatically partition the other one as well?
Yes. If everything works correctly and the partitioning software you use supports your Intel ICH7DH RAID controller, the array should behave like a regular hard drive. Basically, it will be considered as one single disk drive.
Quote
Is there any way to double check to make sure my RAID 1 is working and mirroring everything correctly?
Install Intel® Matrix Storage Manager as soon as Vista is up and running. You should be able to find it here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2101&DwnldID=13494&strOSs=&OSFullName=&lang=eng
Quote
Btw, my BIOS is 7.1, NOT 7.2
Well, that should allow you to re-activate your JMicron Controller without problems.
Did your install the 64bit version of Vista?
