Unlocking cores on 785GM-P45

i'm trying to unlock 2 different Phenom II X2 560 BE on 2 different 785GM-P45 boards but am running into trouble.  im following the standard guide (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=132314.0) but when i select cpu core control, i only see the option for Core 1 and Core 2.
I am using the latest BIOS.
Does anyone know how to get this working?

after enable the Unlock CPU Core function and Enable the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) function, you leave the core control to auto. reboot and see if it is stable. if not stable, come back to bios, and set core control to manual, try to disable one of core 3, and core4. if stable, you get a good X3. if still not stable, then you cpu is still a good x2.

  • 785GM- P45 Winki checksum error

     
    Ok New here so I hope the modes dont kill me. LOL.
    system
    785GM-P45
    CPU BE560
    Memory 2x2 OCZ ddr3
    4 sata drives
    1 sata DVD
    OCZ 520 watt PSU
    On board video
    Operating system win 7 ultimate 64
    Every thing run great when system is empty once I load any additional drivers (software seems OK) ie video, AMD Over Drive. once I reboot all is locked up "Winki Blah blah blah Checksum error Press any keep to reboot
    What they mean is reload your operating system I can find any way past this once it starts to happen. Maybe just go back to Asus? The thing is I ran XP pro for 2 days never an issue... PLEASE HELP

    "Booting MSI Winki, please wait... isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry.....
    Boot failed: press a key to retry"
    This happen right after bois I can still get into the bois I have left all the defaults, thinking that this was being caused by me unlocking the other 2 cores but no difference.
    Windows loads fine (Win 7 64 bit) it only happens after I start to load the system up. I must have rebooted 20 times last night after my lasts install of OS no problems. once I load the ati catalysis or AMD Overdrive, She is gone with this error. Makes NO sense I really don't want to use 32 bit but may try tonight.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in Advance

  • 785gm-p45 sound problem

    when no sound is playing, all of the sudden the speakers start doing an static sound, very annoying, which only way of stopping it is if i play a sound in windows or if i disable/enable for example the mic line.
    I've just reinstalled the latest driver, use win 7.
    any solution? don't want to change the mother...

    I'm using only the green jack, the mic is with the webcam via usb. and the mic was an example, the same happened if i enable/disable any of the other two

  • 785gm-p45 + nvidia GTS 250 = 3 screens?

    I am fairly new to this sorta thing but i was wondering if there was any way to use the HMDI port on my 785gm-p45 and also the 2 DVI outputs on my GeForce GTS 250 to run a total of 3 screens? I've heard that some mobo's and do it and some cant but i haven't been able to find any information that has really helped me any so i figured this would be the place to ask...
    Any ideas?

    I have not seen any MSI board (or other brands for that matter) that can do onboard + PCIe cards at the same time.
    Sorry.

  • 785GM-P45 & Windows 7

    Hi All,
    I put together 785GM-P45 and AMD Phenom II X2 560 yesterday.  Everything went smoothly until the first boot into Windows 7 Ultimate x64.  Win7 did not recognize any hardware to install drivers for.  From my past experience on my Gigabyte board with Q6600, Win7 recognized all hardware including my linksys wireless pci card.  Is there something wrong or this is just the way it is?  Thanks in advance!

    it did not recognize the on-board video, on-board sound, and my linksys pci wireless card
    You mean it shows (?) against those devices in the Device Manager?
    If so, then just install the drivers for them:

    For your Linksys card, you'll need to obtain those drivers from Linksys.

  • Need help unlocking cores in 560 be in msi 785gt-e63

    help i cannot get my motherboard to unlock the additional cores
    i have the latest bios dated from nov 2010 with a black edition 560 cpu
    under the bios section i enable both advanced clock calibration and unlocke core and the system does not reboot i then clear the cmos and i can start all over.....enter date, time with these opyions enable the system refuses to boot with either one one i can start but on only dual cores
    i dont have the iption listed in the manual as EC Firmware but i figured this is outdate late 2009 manual since the firm ware that the motherboard came with was 10/25/2010
    please there must be a step or process i am missing ???? currently running windows 7 ultimate 64 with 3 gigs of memory everything else works perfectly except for the unlocking of the extra cores

    Also please remember that not all cpu's will unlock.
    As you state it, it looks like the locked cores are faulty, cause when you unlock them, the system doesnt want to boot at all.
    I might be wrong though.

    with 4x sticks you may need to drop memory freq. to 1066MHz and also ensure that you use 2T

  • 785GM-P45 with 1GB dedicated video memory in bios

    has anyone able to allocate 1GB for dedicated video memory in bios and has at least 8GB of RAM. i had already updated the bios to version 11.8, with any 3 sticks of kingston 2GB RAM I can allocate 1GB for video memory in the bios, but the minute that i have the 4th stick install, the pc will not complete boot into windows. with only 3 sticks, it doesn't matter which memory slot is open, it will boot into windows and shows 1GB dedicated video memory. all the RAM tested fine with remtest. with all 4 stick install it will only boot into windows with 512mb dedicated video memory. thanks in advance.

  • 785GM-P45 HDMI screen size problem

    Happy New Year, folks!
    I connected my 785GM-P45 board to an Asus 23.2" LCD monitor (native resolution: 1920x1080) via HDMI, set the resolution to 1920x1080, and was dismayed to find out that the display was not occupying the entire screen. There was a 1-inch black border all round the display.
    As a test, I connected the Asus monitor to a Foxconn board via HDMI. Behold, the display nicely occupied the whole screen.
    As a second test, I connected the monitor to the 785GM-P45 again, but this time via a VGA cable. The display occupied the whole screen. No annoying black borders.
    So the problem seems to be in the HDMI output of the MSI board. Any suggestions and solutions would be most appreciated.

    For those who may have a similar problem (main monitor, Acer 21.5" LED, worked fine, Sony 40" on HDMI could not get to fill the screen and will only output at max of 1280x1024 if main is set to native 1920x1080) this will fill the screen on a secondary monitor as well... Thanks Mark.

  • 785GM-P45 RAID help

    Hey guys,
    I'm building a Windows 7 (64) box for my dad and have put three 2TB Seagate SATA drives in the machine for him.  I had wanted to build a RAID 5 array for him, but it's not one of the options.  The options I've got are RAID 0, 1, 10, JBOD, or RAID Ready.  After trying a couple of times (as in a half dozen or so) the BIOS no longer recognizes the drives, and when it did recognize the drives, I never got close to the total space the drives were supposed to have.  The closest I came was Windows 7 seeing the array as two separate drives with one having around 2.5TB (with the 100mb boot) and the other having about 3.5TB.
    Anyone got any ideas on how to get the BIOS to see the drives again, and how to set up the array?  I'd like to get him set up as close to a RAID 5 as I can, with the data protection, but at this point I'll take anything that will get the machine up and working.
    Any helpful suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks!
    [MSI 785GM-P45, AMD Phenom II Black Ed, OCZ DDR3 DRAM 2Gb (x2), 3 Seagate Barracuda SATA 2TB HDD (32mb cache 5900rpm), Trying to install fresh copy of Windows 7 64bit]

    A few things:
    The Boot Sector for ANY Windows install CANNOT be larger then 2 TB.
    You can Have other sectors, if you are installing a 64-Bit version of Windows that are larger then 2 TB, but NOT the boot sector.
    If you have RAID = RAID (Choices RAID = IDE, AHCI, RAID) in the BIOS, then you'll be able to get to the BIOS Utility screen after the MOBO Image when you power on your PC.
    In the BIOS, if you have a RAID array defined, in general you do NOT see individual HDDs in the BIOS.
    The BOOT Sequence will let you Pick Which RAID array you want to BOOT first, 2nd, etc.
    I have the 790FX-GD70 and the 890FXA-GD70. I have set multiple RAID-0 arrays with the 790FX-GD70 and it was really straight forward as long and you get the BOOT partition at 2 TB or less, are installing a 64-bit OS (If you want non-BOOT partitions larger than 2TB) and define the other Partitions.
    If RAID-5 is NOT supported then you will NOT be able to use that scheme for BOOT.
    That is, Unless you get a PCI-E RAID card.
    Good luck!

  • Need help regarding MSI 785GM-P45

    Hi
    New to this forum so I will try to give as much info as possible. If you have any suggestions please give as much details as possible since I am new to building my own HTPC
    Motherboard: MSI 785GM-P45
    CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0 GHz
    RAM: AVeir 2GB DDR3-1333
    HD: EIDE 80GB WD
    I installed the cpu and heat sink as well as the RAM in DIMM1 then I attached the power to the mother board. Also attached then box power switch and HDD connections to the motherboard. When I press the power switch on the box I can see the cpu fan turning and box fan turning as well as hear HD spinning (at this point I dont have IDE cable connected to HD). then I attached the display to the mother board and the display does not show anything (displays standby light is still yellow). I power off the system and then attach IDE cable to the HD and then power on the system and this time everything works like before but one thing is different. I cannot hear the HD spinning or powered up. Not sure what is happening. Any suggestion would be welcome
    Thanks

  • Unlocking cores 990xa-gd55

    I have finally worked through my display driver problems (turned out to be a flash problem) now I want to figure out why unlocking the cores works on occasion but most of the time it doesn't.  On the occasion it does unlock all six cores the system runs fine and all is good until I go into stand-by or restart the machine.  When it resumes (it appears to go thru post) or restarts I'm back to 4 cores.  I've tried this by just changing the bios settings and OC genie II same result.  It might take one restart or many to get the 6 core back but most of the time I end up with only 4.  I've never had a problem posting or getting into windows so it seems to just be a bug with the unlocking feature in the bios.  I really don't care to overclock but I would like to have all the cores as they seem to be fine and stable when they are unlocked.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    There is nothing guaranteed with core unlocking. It could have been sold as a 4 core cpu because 1 of the cores was defective or something like that.
    It is possible updating the bios to the most recent full release >>MSI Downloads<< or beta: >>Beta BIOSes<< may help.

  • A guide for unlocking cores

    This may be an old topic but I am new to doing anything with core unlocks.
    I will provide my specific 800 series board ident shortly.
    My question is:  is there a guide for doing this at the Forum or elsewhere?
    Are there other materials such as BIOS mods that may be needed as downloads from MSI or  here at MSI HQ?

    On the boards allowing this feature (so long as there are cores to be unlocked on the cpu) it is a simple bios setting in oc section to be enabled. If there is no such setting no core unlocking.

  • Bios to unlock cores on k9a2 platinum

    Is there any chance of a bios release to unlock the remaining two cores on my phenom x2 550 black edition cpu on a k9a2 platinum motherboard?If not,please explain why.Is it impossible to do,or do they just want us to upgrade to a newer board?Thank you very much.

    No you cant unlock it.
    The boards that can are using a southbridge SB 710/750 chip based.It s a hardware limitation.This SB 710/750 have a feature called Advanced Clock Calibration which can substitute some CPU internal feature.The unlocking is not guaranteed to work even on such boards.
    K9A2 Platinum uses SB 600 ,a rather old southbridge ,designed before ATI was bought by AMD.
    You re CPU is fully supported (as it is) by K9A2 Platinum with BIOS version 1.9.

  • 785GM-P45 & AHCI

    Can anyone that owns this board verify for me that the BIOS setup on this board has an option to set the SATA ports to AHCI mode ?
    I just spent an hour (including reading thru the manual) trying to find this out.
    Thank you.

    All new boards have it, else they are not Vista/W7 certified.
    The option is called RAID-MODE and can be set between IDE/AHCI/RAID
