VCore Question

MSI P67a-GD65 (B3)
Core i5-2500k
Newb question -- Attempting to overclock to stable 4.6. However, when I change my Vcore setting, there seems to be a drastic voltage range that the motherboard controls on its own. For instance, if I set the Vcore to 1.4, CPU-Z reports the voltage at 1.352. How do I set the voltage to remain at the specified Vcore setting at all times?

And actually the error seems to kill the flash drive, to the point where windows no longer recognizes it.
oki, seems there is some kind of transmission failure for your case.
use alternative method instead.
format the USB drive with HP Tool: http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28700/28790/HP_USB_Boot_Utility.exe
[Just format in FAT32, don't checkmark other options]
once done, run the tool and point it to Mode 1 Point to .zip/.rar and give the attached file
and try again to boot from it

Raising Vcore question

Ok a quick question.. I read the sticky on top and i dont quite understand this. I overclocked my winny 3500+ to 2.5 and had to increase the vcore to get it to run stable. I have the K8n neo4 platinum board (7100) and i see there are 2 voltage options. I used the second one "over cpu vid" and raised it to over 9.9%. I tested it and my temps are very cool running 31 idle and 37 load with and aftermarket cooler. Now my question is should i adjust the first setting "Cpu voltage" too? It is currently on startup setting and it only goes to 1.45 vcore max. With cpu overvid i get about 1.55 max. Do i adjust both? Any benefits?

Basically you adjust what is needed.
Doing what you are is ok if it works for you.
over cpu vid does what it says on the tin,it overvolts by the amount you set.In your case it was 9.9%.
but what does it overvolt from you ask?
It overvolts the cpu voltage,in your case "startup"(usually about 1.35v-1.4v?)
So,you have a voltage of 1.4v being overvolted by 9.9%.
So,no you don't need to adjust both but if you needed more voltage for a higher overclock then yes you would need to.
I think the mobo gives you realtime voltage indication when you alter either setting so you know what voltage you are giving it.
You did it right
but did you try a lower %

Vcore question! (Is it a bug ?( )

hi:
I have a vcore problem.
my mobo is MS6330 K7Turbo2
my cpu is athlon xp 1700+ palomino
idle cpu temp is ±55 C
full load is ±63 C
I have checked that my cpu has a default 1.75 vcore from AMD internet site.
But even though I have NOT overclocked my cpu speed fan & sandra reads my vcore as 1.81. I thought then maybe that is the reason that my cpu runs little hot.
I have checked my bios and assured that it IS in default settings:in PC health status I read my vcore 1.73 and in frequency/voltage control page CPU Vcore select is in Default.
Then after reboot I read the same from sandra vcore 1.81.
In the bios then I have changed my Vcore settings manually to 1.75. But again after reboot sandra says it is at 1.81.
This time I have changed from bios my setting as 1.70. Then VOLA! Sandra reads my vcore now 1.75. And indeed my cpu temp is decreased 2-3 C´s
Also I got no difference from sandra cpu test and PCMark2001 test.
Does anyone know what is in the hand? Do I have a bios bug?
And do you suggest me my vcore even little more decrease?
Thanks in advance.
ps after all changes in Bios I dont forget to save the settings and exit!

it is not only sandra who tells the vcore 1.81
speedfan4.08
mbm
and fuzzylogic reads the same. 1.81
I still want to believe in my BIOS! ?(
And what concern with vcore, even 0.025v changing can make the board stable or unstable right?

Z97 mpower max vcore question

Hi im a new owner of z97 mpower max for my setup haswell hwbot,and I noticed that the vcore is not accurate
all intel c-state or eist is disable all digitall power is on auto
my 4670k is fixed to 4500mhs with a vcore of 1.32
my vcor is on 1.32 but my fluke on the vcheck point indictaet 1.34
if i put 1.31 my fluke give me 1.33, 1.29=131
i have 4 fluke calibrated with this result the problem is just on the vcore all other voltage is very good

Trust your Fluke. The sensors and digital data translators on the board are not calibrated high precision instruments, else your board would cost even more.
The components used have tolerances and there is no calibration on each and every single board. Download HWINFO64 and see what that gives you.
You have V check points for a reason. Use them.

My Vcore question

so out of nowhere inside my mind i thought about the Vcore in Bios and was wondering how much i can up it without any problems, it was initially set on default which i believe was about 1.500 and i just upped it to 1.700, my processor is an AMD 2100+ XP Thoroughbred and i read a page that they tested it at 1.85v and it crashed during a 3dmark test, i have 3dmark 2005 and i was going to test now to see and compare my results from about 2 or so months ago, i recently bought a new processor fan and some arcticsilver5 and installed and my temp is 7 degrees C lower than my previous heatsink and fan.......any ideas on the Vcore?
also i was wondering, should i had removed the thermal paste the heatsink came with because i cleaned up my processor from the old heatsink past and then applied arctic silver5 to it like the instructions showed and also left the pre-applied thermal grease that my fan/heatsink came with, it is a Roswill RCX-Z100R, way bigger than my other fan lol........any ideas?

ok i cleaned with alcohol and and then applied the thermal grease and cleaned out all my fans and now i am up and running, now for the vcore issue......
ok i had changed it before to 1.700 v and then when i did all the thermal grease work i went into bios and set it back to default H/W and then went back in bios and saw it read 1.80 v and was thinking hmmm something isnt right cause before my default was 1.55-1.60(it ranged between the two) and i restarted exit and saving and leaving the vcore set by H/W and each time it would be ranged between 1.75-1.85 when i checked pc health status in bios and also pc alert 4 in my windows, so i went back to bios and set it to 1.550 v and saved and exit and then back in bios to set it to default set by H/W and now the range is back between 1.55-1.60.......any suggestions on this
i am going to browse a few pages about my chip and vcore but please someone with experience let me know something
also since the thermal grease redo i did my temp is at 40 degrees C just as before and i guess i will be starting the periodic shutdowns for the initial 200 hours as the arcticsilver5 instructions suggests but normally i keep my computer on 24 hours a day

Question vcore fluctuates

Hello all I got my new z97 mpower max ac up & running with a 4790k, This is my first msi board and it's awesome really enjoy it. My question is and I have never seen vcore fluctuate so extreme as on this board. My cpu ratio is 46 with vcore at 1.270 not bad, but I have noticed with cpuz I get reading from as low as 0.005 to 0.250 but never what I set it to, on all my other boards that never happens if I set vcore to say 1.250 that's what cpuz reads or at least very close to that. I'm not complaining or anything just wondering why this board does that. I use the latest bios 1.4.. Thanks for any info

Normal as far as I know. It fluctuates as per load and when the power saving features respond. Connect a DMM to the checkpoint header and you will probably see the same variations in voltage taking place.

Question about Vcore Voltage with 2400XP

Hi i have been to amd site and looked up what VCore Voltage i should run my processor at and it says 1.65v and the FSB at 133MHz
The think is the default in the bios is 1.800 and the computer works fine when bios set at "AUTO" for this.
I changed it to 1.65v and computer will get to just before the windows logo comes up and restarts.
If i put the FSB at 100Mhz the computer boots up fine.
Any Ideas on why i cannot run the computer at full speed with the recommended VCore voltage of 1.65v
Thanks

Question on FSB, CPU ratio and VCore

Hi:
I have been reading several postings on overclocking CPU. As far I can tell, people recommended increasing the FSB freq. in the BIOS until it cannot boot any longer.
I have KT3 Ultra, Athlon XP 1800+, and DDR 333MHz.
?( How does changing the FSB freq. affects DDR freq? Is it 1:2 ratio? For example, if FSB = 133 MHz, then DDR is 266 MHz. If so, is FSB limited by DDR rated freq?
?( Does changing the FSB actually changes the clock signal feeds into the CPU?
?( Does changing the FSB only affect CPU? Does it affects the PCI bus?
?( What is CPU ratio? Is it an internal clock multiplier to the CPU?
?( How does CPU VCore affect the overclock?

K7n2 delta-l question:)

Hi all,
K7N2 Delta-L is a new board for me, and day by day I discover new things, some are positive, others are negative:)
Today I want to ask you about some negative aspects:
1. When I want to set the Vcore of the CPU at 1,55V (in fact I want to set it to 1,50V, but this option is not possible in bios), after reboot, the Vcore in bios is ~ 1,61V:)
2. The Vbat in bios show me 0,00V, but my bios settings are kept after each reboot, so I think the battery voltage cannot be zero:)
The bios is flashed with the latest version (5.4). Do you have some ideas?!?
Thanks!

Thanks for your replies:)
I'm new in the nForce "world", after a long time with VIA boards, and maybe that's why I came here with a lot of questions:)
I've learned that bios for nForce it's a little bit tricky with settings, but I hope this items will be fixed in the next releases.
On the other hand, I managed to have a very stable system, with a 1700+ thoroughbred b0 overclocked at 2600+ (333mhz fsb) @1,6V Vcore, in dual channel (1:1), with 2 different memory modules (Samsung PC2700 & PQI PC2700)
But still I'm curious if this MB is able to handle the "Keyboard Power On" feature (this feature is not advertised in user manual or MSI website). This feature is managed by Winbond HW monitoring chip or by nForce northbridge/southbridge chipsets?!?
I like this feature, I used it on my latest motherboards, and I cannot believe that such a new board (and coming from MSI!) is not able to handle this feature:)
All the best!

K7N2 DELTA+default vcore on XP2500 ????

I have a K7N2 Delta board with an XP2500 with 2 512 Geil GD 3200 modules, I have a question I am trying to overclock and I have set the vcore manually to 1.65 which I thought was the stock voltage for these chips. However when I go into windows it is telling me it is set to 1.7 ?? Any ideas on this as i need to set it manually to 1.65 to get stability at 10 x 200. Also any ideas how you lcok the PCI bus on these boards I think i have done it but am not 100%

The Nforce 2 chipset already has AGP/PCI lock so no worry there. The Defualt Vcore is 1.65v but the board tend to stick on Vcore so reset CMOS and try again. The K7N2 boards jump in Volts so go under PC Health in bios to check

K9n platinum voltage question

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the boards and I hope someone can help me out.
Let me throw my specs out first:
mobo: msi k9n platinum 1.0 (bios 1.5) (ms-7250-20)
cpu: opteron 1212 (voltage should be 1.3/1.35)
ram: ocz 6400 platinum (5,5,5,15 2t) (2.1v)
gfx: evga 7800gt
ps: sunbeamtech 550w(+3.3v=28A, +5v=36A,+12v1=20A,+12v2=18A(30A/35*A))
This board does have the shut down problems, but I have done the work arounds and fixed 98% of them(memory timings were the most important to fix these)
My question is how do I set the volage for the cpu? I know go into the cell menu->cpu freq config->and change the voltage...but when I set it to 1.3~1.35, the cpu voltage in the H/W monitor & on the main cell menu page will show a .28 voltage increase. My cpu temps are also through the roof (35 idle/ 68+ load).
Right now I have my cpu voltage set at 1.25 and it seems mostly stable, but the cpu Vcore shows 1.528v in H/W monitor, and cell menu.
Also if I keep my voltage at 1.2 my temps are very low (20 idle/ 38 load)
When I use cpu-z it shows the voltage that I actually set.
Anyone have an answer or fix?
Thanks for any and all replies.

leave CPU vid to Auto, you no need to change CPU vcore. voltage moving -/+ 0.05 is normal.
take care about CPU temp... your CPU is overheating and become instable, 68C+ is very high... re seat CPU ensure its mounted well, aplly new thermal paste, but do not put too much!! here are few wrong examples:
your under load temp should not exceed 55C. you may need to get better CPU cooler if no change.

Questions for BAS

Questions for BAS
New to this forum, but I am running three Athlon 64 Boards here. The Abit MAX3 the MSI NEO on the KT800 chipsets. Also running a Gigabyte Nforce 3 K8NPro.
You have stated in many posts that the CPU decides what memory it uses, well I have to raise a few points. I have two sticks of Kingston Hyper X with Winbond BH5 work in both the MSI and the Abit, Two sticks of Kingston Hyper X Winbond CH5 will only work in the Abit, not in the MSI, all sticks also work on the Gigabyte. That disproves your theory somewhat. Also Abits bios update has listed as improved memory compatibility, if that is the case, then it is obvious that they cannot change your processor so they must be changing board paameters, relating to timing or voltages. This is a confusing issue.
Regarding the PCI Lock, and that the FSB does not control the hypertransport or PCI clock, why would VIA be busy implementing this in the K8T880 if it had no effect, and why does the hard drive get corruption above 230 fsb if the clock is not changing, it does not happen on the Nforce150 chipset. Also Cool and Quiet works by manipulating the multiplier to change the processor frequency, this is a multiplication of the FSB, and CPU Z also is able to read correctly the FSB.I am not saying that what you say is incorrect, but I am trying to evaluate the situation here.
Some explanation would be welcome as I have not read this explanation anywhere else on the web, and no major hardware review site states this either. Lost Circuits has a pretty thorough review of the chipset and states issues with the PCI clock and hypertransport clock changing. If you use the Nvidia system Utility on the NForce 3 board it also reports the Hypertransport clock, and that is a direct association with the fsb and multiplier. Comments welcome. Also any idea when the voltage issue will be fixed regarding the Vcore, I know of a Beta bios but is it likely to be released soon. Strange thing is the Gigabyte board does almost the same thing, but will og to 1.55 just like the MSI will using windows to overclock.

Hi,
As for the memory controller, see this document:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/23932.pdf
As for the via chipset:
http://www.via.com.tw/en/k8-series/k8t800.jsp
Anyway, it's actually funny, as everyone has a different story....
And nobody tells exactly how it's done, not even AMD....
I just gave my best idea of how it works, as nobody seems to know exactly (or doesn't want to say) it's all guessing....
As Anantech has another idea as well:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1856&p=3
He say it's taking it from the HT bus.....and the FSB doesn't exists....
But my MSI manual states that it has an LDT transmitter clock, that controls HT and can only be set Auto, 200, 400, 600 or 800MHz...
So if anyone has a better idea of how it exactly works, please enlighten us all.....
One thing i'm 100% sure of, the memory is controlled by the CPU, not the board

P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
Dear svet,
Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
First here are my PC Specifications:
MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
PSU Corsair X750W
Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
OS Windows 7 x64
1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
Thank you so much in advance for any help...
Regards,

While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS.
That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended
To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky
and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

Just a few small questions :)

hi guys, just had a few small questions incase any of u can shed some light on the subject
1 - i have removed my Sound Blaster Audigy and i am now able to reach 2.5GHz easily, when the audigy was installed, i could never get over 2.4Ghz, why?
2 - i have increased my vcore to 1.7 yet am experience lower idle temps with c'n'q enabled eg...2.4GHz @ 1.55v would idle at 29c.....2.5GHz @ 1.7vcore idles at 23c, how?
3 - moving my ballistix ram into dimm slot 3 i am now able to go 1:1 to 228 htt at timings 2.5,2,2,10 easily...when the ram was in dimm slot 1 i couldnt go 1:1 over 200 htt, why?
if anyone can comment or provide answers i would be most greatful
thanks guys

NetStream.send() should usually be faster than NetGroup.post(), especially when using 1:1 NetStreams (vs Group NetStreams).
when groups are large, there's no passive way to tell when members join or leave. however, for small groups (less than about 15 members), they will be "fully meshed", meaning every member has a direct connection to every other member. when that's the case, you can see the NetGroup.Neighbor.Connect/Disconnect events on a NetGroup. to receive those, you must create a NetGroup with the same groupspec as your NetStream and listen for NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS events.
your function "msg" must be a method on the subscribing NetStream's "client" object to receive NetStream.send()s from the publisher.
this is all generic ActionScript stuff. i don't know how to use Flash CS5 but this stuff should all be the same in Flash and Flash Builder.

My settings and some questions r.e. overclocking!

Hello everybody,
This is my first MSI mobo, I used to have a DFI Lanparty Sli-D (with 144 Opty) - it was OK but I really wanted a CD2 (CoreDuo2) and the issues I had with my DFI I just felt that I should go with something a bit simpler - what a fool I am.. lol.
Anyway, I've flashed to Bios 716 and most of my issues are (kind of) sorted - when Windows XP reboots; it still requires a power off! Also - intermittently my USB mouse requires pulling out and reinserting once XP is loaded.
Here are my bios changes:
Disable all but the Primary IDE Master/Slave (so my DVDRW can work)
Disable floppy, COM and Parallel.
Disable C1E, EIST, Virtualisation
Disable POST Logo (it's horrible quality!)
Assign all my SATA drives to RAID / Force 2nd GEN
Change the disk priority and sequence to CDROM first, RAID 2nd
Enable Legacy USB support for Keyboard and Mouse
Disable Intel Boot ROM
Initiate PCI-E first, Change Payload to 512MB
For Overclocking; I use HIGH settings:
Set DRAM timings manual to 4-4-4-12 (my RAMS rated timing)
Set memory ratio to 1:1
Set memory Voltage to 2.2v
Set CPU Voltage to 1.40v
Set FSB to 320
Set PCIE voltage to 1.7v
Disable Auto Detect PCI CLK
Disable Spread Spectrum
O.K! now my questions:
Should I be disabling Virtualisation? what is it?;
What MAX voltage should I be applying to Memory, PCIE vCore? (I'm on AIR: decent case airflow (CM Stacker), stock CPU cooler);
With the above HIGH settings I hit a 360FSB - if I use (EXTREME settings) my vCore to 1.43v and PCIE to 1.75v, mem to 2.3v and I can get a 375 FSB (not tried higher FSB yet because sound in Windows jutters);
Do I need water cooling at either my high or extreme settings?;
What TEMP monitor can I use? Something that is PRECISE (cos I know software monitors sucks - MSI products reported 125c on my CPU when I had v7 bios)
Thanks to all for any questions answered!!!

With the above HIGH settings I hit a 360FSB - if I use (EXTREME settings) my vCore to 1.43v and PCIE to 1.75v, mem to 2.3v and I can get a 375 FSB (not tried higher FSB yet because sound in Windows jutters);
Do I need water cooling at either my high or extreme settings?;
What TEMP monitor can I use? Something that is PRECISE (cos I know software monitors sucks - MSI products reported 125c on my CPU when I had v7 bios)
Thanks to all for any questions answered!!!

1: You can leave it on or turn it off. I think overclocking its recommended to turn it off. It had something to do with running two O/S's at the same time and spliting up the cpu resources so most people don't use it.
2: Depends on the specs on your memory and if you want to take the chance of voiding your warranty. Set the PCIE voltages back to 1.5 unless your memory is having problems. Thats prob why you have to turn the power off when rebooting windows.
3: Use coretemp. It reads a little high but people say their cpu is still stable.
Also, are you using a pci-e video card? If so set your payload to 4096.
