WHICH OPERTON DUAL CORE FOR K8N DIAMOD PLUS X16????

Okay all of you experts out their I want to upgrade to a dual core Operton which would be better the 165 denmark or the 175 Denmark I really dont know anything about overclocking but I do wish to explore it when the weather cools down! But primarily I want to know what the difference of haveing the 165 multiplier at x9 and the 175 multi at 11x what is the difference I would like to overclock but only if it does not jepordize the stabillity of my system and I dont run the risk of data corruption so basically if you have the 165 denmark at 1.8 core what can you bring it to for a rock solid system with over clocking???? 2.0 2.2 what can I expect???? I want speed and rock hard stability as this is my only P.C I do alot of gameing multi tasking , burning music file transfering can you overclock the 165 to 2.2 and leave it at that over clock permanently without data corruption? Or is the 175 Denmark the better choice with my memory???
Please help and thanks in advance........

I suppose that is true, as we all seem to have addictive personalities when it comes to this stuff! But regarless I still did not think that much of the dual core that I had before! Would have liked to get the 185 Operton buttttt well you know money. It's gonna be quite a while until they get the AM2 platform straightened out and stabilizeled I personally woul'nt touch that platform with a 10' pole right now! Besides I am quite happy with my 939 K8N Diamond Plus
this is the best system that I have ever owned probably because I built it myself I mean I dont even overclock right now and this thing is pumped on nitrous! Yhea one thing that I over looked was that they were out of stock on the opty that I bought at New Egg I called them this morning to see if i got lucky and kopped the last one but unfortunayely it looks like perhaps 10- 14 days before I get it and I cant change my order what a kick in the balls!!!!!

Aftermarket HSF options for K8N Diamond Plus

Just built a new rig with the K8N Diamond Plus and am very pleased with the board -- worked great from first power up and with a little BIOS tweaking I have no trouble getting a 50% overclock from my dual core Opteron 170. No headaches at all, unlike my previous experiences with Abit boards.
The AMD heatsink fan unit (with heatpipes) provided with the 170 is not bad at all, but I'd like to replace it with a more capable unit, along the lines of the Zalman 9500, Scythe Ninja, Tuniq Tower 120, Thermalright XP-120, etc. The tall heatsink of the Nvidia NB is close to the CPU socket and quite high, so I'm not sure if any of these will fit. Anyone using one of these or similar heatsinks ? Please let me know if they fit, or did not fit.
Since I could find any of the 7800GTX 512MB boards I wanted, I'm using a single MSI X1900XT card right now but plan to go SLI in the future with 7900GTX cards driving the 30" Dell monitor. The ATI video board and nVidia mainboard surprisingly get along great, with no crashes so far and 3DMark06 scores above 6000 -- the X1900XT is an impressive piece, and much faster than the X800XT-PE I had in my previous computer. But the fan can be extremely loud and the Catalyst Control Center sucks. Unfortunately the old ATI control panel is no longer offered...

TimeReaper,
The problems your are talking about are not uncommon with this MS-7220. The BIOS Clear Circuit physically has problems and that is not something they are going fix with a BIOS upgrade.
The BIOS Clear Circuit actually trashing the values stored in the CMOS by not doing a complete clearing of the CMOS is causing the problem. What leaves trash for parameters, for the BIOS to use when rebooting.
Let give you an example that fits your case. You can set the BIOS to turn the system on at any give time and date. So, if the trash in CMOS is in those parameters storage location. Therefore, whatever trash value gets stored in the locations, as a dated and time, will turn the computer on at that time. So, you could of had the computer come on in the meddle of the night two week later. Now, think of all the functions the BIOS have and how many weird things people are having and do not know why. There is one guy that is a regular on the Forum how has been fighting a problem I know is caused by trash in the BIOS CMOS, but Strick and I have ask him to do a good CMOS clearing and he just will not do it. I even wrote out in great deal the over night CMOS clear procedure I use. It is a pain in the ass, but some times, I have too use it. I just had to use it, upgraded V3.09 using short CMOS Clear and had no problem. Used the short procedure again when upgrading to V3.0A and everything when to hell, had to finally use the long overnight procedure and reinstall Windows to get computer to run right again.
NoBS, when your computer goes BOOO during the night just plain it o MSI.

When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings. It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it.

New dual core for running osx and windows-need autocad!

considering a new desktop. I own a powerbook g4
Machine Model: PowerBook5,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.5 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.1f3
and use mostly for Adobe Creative suite and Powercadd 7.
I then own a Dell Inspiron with Windows XP to run Autocad.(which I dislike PC)I would rather use a mac and wonder if the new dual core is something I should consider or is it not worth the pain?

You have to use the crossgrade/update 7.2 for Logic Pro to work on an Intel Mac.
It is now available and people have ordered it but I don't think anyone has received their upgrades as yet.
It has been pointed out both by Apple and in numerous other places that Logic Pro will not run under Rosetta so unless you have 7.2 it aint gonna be working......
If you DO have 7.2 already, then please tell us more.....

WANTED! - List of IRQs and Hardware for K8N Diamond Plus?

Hi there!
I'm trying to find out what hardware shares IRQs on the MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard.
I want to use an X-Fi card in the bottom (orange) PCI slot, and 2x 7800GTX cards in the PCI-Express x16 slots and would like to know if any of the devices will share IRQ's with onboard hardware.
You can list your IRQs by running msinfo32 - start, run, msinfo32 [enter], then click expand the following item in the tree System Summary -> Hardware Resources -> IRQs.
You can export the IRQ's in msinfo32, make sure the IRQ list is displayed, then click file/export, then save to a text file. Open the text file with notepad and copy and paste your results to your reply below.
I'm trying to find out whether an MSI K8N Diamond Plus will have less conflicts or less important conflicts than a ASUS A8N32-SLI.

There are 4 PCI IRQs called INTA#, INTB#, INTC# and INTD#.
These INTx# are interrupts and are level sensitive, this means that the electrical singnaling allows for them to be shared among all PCI cards. All single device/ function PCI cards that use only 1 interrupt must use INTA# as this is one of the rules in the PCI spec. If there are additional devices within a chip or on-board a card then these additional devices can use INTB#~INTD#, since there are very few multifubtion PCI boards (none that I know of right off my head) this means that most or all devices will use INTA#.
With that said; you do not really need to worry about hard wired INTA#~INTD# at board level.
If you are using Win XP I would not even worry about IRQs as Windows uses "Virtual IRQ routing" which simply means Windows XP will assing IRQ to each device and XP handles this extremly well.

Is 2.8 ghz dual core for a mbp advisable?

i want to buy a mbp 13 inches but im thinking if 2,8 ghz dual core is enough..
im going to study system engineer, and i need a powerful laptop because i dont want to buy one for the first two years and then buy another one casue i dont have to much money.
i dont think that i will need high quality for design, power is what i want and need

I see. I would purchase the most powerful mac laptop you can afford. I also noticed that you started two topics on this one, so I will advise anyone reading this to direct their responses to the original one: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3778146?tstart=0

Adapter cable for K8N Diamond Plus PCIE cable?

I guess the K8N Diamon Plus was made before standards were settled, since it has the oldish IDE/Molex power connector for PCIE cards. That while Power Supplies now use the standard connector. Of course there are molex connectors as well on the PS cables, but many power supplies are split into 2 or 4 channels and you're better off using as many channels as possible.
The problem is: I can't find any adapter cable with (female) PCIE --> (male) Molex... I can find cables with one male PCIE and two Molex (don't remember if they were male or female), but not the right kind. I would look more closely now, when buying, and I now know about PS with split/combined settings - but the two PS I have are both "not right" for the Diamond Plus.
Any help with such cables? I'm in Stockholm, Sweden, so something in Europe would be preferred.

Quad core vs dual core for motion

Hello all,
I'm just about to invest in a new Mac Pro, With the following specs
x1900 512 mb graphics card
3x 750 gbHDD (raid 2 at 3GBs and 256K bit) 1 independent
4 x 2gb memory
But I'm confused as it is wether spending the extra 600 pounds on going from a 3ghz DC to a quad core. I want to soup up my projects with motion graphics, in particular using 3D. How much more performance will the extra processing power give me. If anyone can give me a real time answer that'd be great.
I.E. how much more time will i spend waiting for it to render etc.
Thanks very much for all help, I really want to get this right before buying.
Cheers
Fred

"...Motion uses the graphics card to do all its drawing, so while having a faster processor is always going to help, you will see much more improvement by getting the biggest baddest graphics card out there..."
But doesn't this only apply to the building - playing - interacting - tweaking aspect of using Motion in real-time? So while you're actually creating inside Motion, it's mostly GPU.
When you're finished inside Motion, I feel like you're going to implement the creation in one of two ways: Send it to FCP, where it's going to want to render - which falls back onto the CPU(s). Or you're going to export a self-contained movie from motion. Again, CPU, right? Or is there something I'm misunderstanding about how Motion functions under-the-hood?
If I'm wrong, then the Processors won't likely have a huge effect. But anytime it's time to actually render, I'd think you're bouncing back to CPU's again - not just GPU. In which case the Quad Core is going to help out.
Just thowing out some theories....

save apropriate drivers to the floppy disk provided. mark on the disk which version they are and when they were released.
1st enable all sata devices in bios. Enable NV raid and sil raid in bios if nessisary.
2nd set boot priority to dvd/cd.
3 save and exit
4 put in xp/xp64 bit install disk
5 as it boots up the lower left hand screen will say "hit f6 for additional drivers" or something similar. Hit f6
6 press S to load drivers from the floppy.
7 put correct disk in.
8 Select the nessisary drivers. For NVraid there are 2 drivers to load from the disk. I did it by loading (1) then (2)
9 It will eventually reboot. when it does hit f10 to enter nvraids config. Set up your raid set up. exit out
10 continue with xp/xp64 bit install.
I've used sil in the past and it was nearly identicle. Have fun

13 vs 15" Retina. Quad or Dual Core for Aperture and IMovie?

Does iMovie or Aperture take advantage of quad core? I'm debating if I should return the 13" Retina I just purchased for the 15". Thanks

A quad core will definitely allow you to stack more layers of instruments and decrease your buffer size (resulting in lower latency). I have a 3.06gHz core 2 duo 17" with 8GB RAM and a mate of mine has a 13" i5 with 4GB RAM and we compared how many synths we could cram into 1 patch before we got system overloads. My mate's i5 easily handled at least 60% more than my machine....I was blown away by how much difference the extra CPU speed makes.
If I were in your shoes, I'd definitely go for the quad core if you want MS to handle (just about) anything you can throw at it. This will also give you a few more years of use as plugins evolve and consume more and more processing power. That's one of the main reasons why I splurged at the end of 2009 and upgraded every "power" feature I could when I bought my current MacBook Pro.....I've easily gotten more life and use out my system than most users who bought the standard config at the time. I've also just upgraded to a 512GB SSD to get some more juice out of my machine to keep me happy for at least another year before I get a new MacBook Pro.

3.0A BIOS for K8N Diamond Plus

New BIOS available on the MSI website - http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
It's v3.0A, 492kb, dated 3/21/2006.
Downloaded it this morning without checking it, thinking it was the 3.09 BIOS and wanting to test the problem people reported with the Marvell ethernet controller. Turns out it was the 3.0A bios and the Marvell controller shows up fine in Windows Device Manager. So, anyone having that problem with 3.09 should check this out...
In addition, I'm pretty certain the 300HTT limit has been removed too (I'm sure I tested at 305 this morning, although I wasn't stable anyway).

*UPDATED* K8N Diamond Plus X16 Shutdown\restart delays

First off, I'd like to take a moment to pat everybody who helps out on this forum, and that you do a wonderful service to the pc community.
My system specs. are below for reference.
I have recently been experiencing shutdown\restart delays with my computer. I'm pretty sure it started after I replace my 7900GT with a 7900GTX through an RMA.
The issue is that now when I shutdown or restart the computer, it hangs. Windows has shut down, the mouse shuts down, the monitor turns to low power mode, but the pc just sits there for a good 15-20 seconds in this state, then shuts off or restarts (whichever I chose it to do). I have taken everything out and reseated, including all connections and such. More recently I have again removed all cards, ram and psu, and vacuumed out the case, also opened the psu and cleaned that out too). Put it all back together, and works fine still except the problem is still there. Other then that, the computer pretty well works fine and dandy. Play games ok (BF2, BF2142, etc...), video editing\encoding (2 or 3 at the same time), CD to MP3 ripping, and all other operations work without a hitch. Voltage levels seem ok in the bios and through Everest Ultimate Edition 2006. I can give specs. from these on request. I've made sure all drivers are up to date. Checked bios settings, reset bios settings. Disabled any option for power savings, including wake on lan. Problem still lingers. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advanced!

Ok, tests are in. Since I have no idea what I'm doing with the mem timings, I set them all to auto. 4@333 = no difference. 1@400 = no difference. I didn't see a point in trying 2 modules, as I don't see it making any difference at this point.

I can, if I really think I need to, install just an sp2 version of windows, and then go from there on my 160GB drive. In the process, I would disconnect every other drive excluding the dvd drive. Just to eliminate them from the equation. Not now, but perhaps on the weekend or whatever.

Dual-core or Quad-core for Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop CS4?

We are planning to purchase around 25 computers for a computer lab for working with CS4 Production Premium at the high school level. Mainly Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop. Our budget is, unfortunately, a mere $550-$625 per machine (just the tower though, we have monitors). I've already established that a 64-bit operating system makes a significant difference in the performance, even though Photoshop is the only 64-bit application, and I'm now hung up on whether or not it's worth the cost of a quad-core processor over a dual-core.
I'm discovering the different hardware needs for each application, so I'm trying to find an economic balance that will give me the best performance per buck. It seems that Premiere benefits significantly from more cores (we're editing 1440x1080 AVCHD), and this article over at Tom's Hardware has convinced me that I don't want to compromise with a hyperthreaded dual-core for After Effects.
I'm also struggling with what part the graphics card plays in the mix. Which applications lean on the graphics card, and will it make much difference as long as I meet the requirements (OpenGL 2.0, Shader Model 3.0, Direct3D 10, and 256 Mb Ram)?
I understand I will need to settle for less-than-awesome with my budget, but I'm already making sacrifices to get the number to $625. I would like to make sure that those sacrifices will be worth it for a quad-core system.

I think I may have answered my own question by looking at these charts over at Tom's Hardware:
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts-update-1/Adobe-Premiere-Pro-CS4 ,1404.html
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts-update-1/Adobe-Photoshop-CS-4,1 387.html
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/desktop-cpu-charts-2010/Video-Editing-Adobe-After-Effec ts-CS5,2427.html
I think that the jump to the quad core in Premiere Pro is worth it, even if I don't see as large of an improvement in Photoshop or After Effects. I am still interested in the role of the graphics card in the mix if anyone can shed some light on that. Will an integrated graphics card (like an Intel GMA x4500 or Radeon HD4200) suffice or will I need an actual graphics card to realize the benefits?
Thanks

What is the best osx upgrade for a G5 2gig dual core

what is the best osx upgrade for a G5 2gig dual core for running music software please

That box definitely needs an additional graphics card to run Aperture. I seem to remember the Nvidia 8800 GT as the one to get (~$60 at Amazon) but you need to verify that it will work in that old G5 because my recall could be faulty.

Macbook pro, dual core or quad core?

Hey guys Im getting an early college present and was wondering which Macbook I should look at. This will be my one and only computer while im in college. No photo editing or anything like that, maybe some video editing but it will be almost none. Will be used to surf the web and write documents. My question is should i get the dual core or quad core processor? Will it really matter for what i want it for? One thing I absolutely hate is lag! So the faster of the two the better.

tony477g wrote:
So if I went with the quadcore because you guys say it is faster than the 2.9 ghz dualcore. Would the difference be noticable between the 2.6 ghz and the 2.3 ghz? I noticed the 2.6 has 8 gb to the 4gb and 750gb to the 500 gb.
Well, actually, only one guy said the quad core would be faster, but it is not clear why they said that. You said you were only going to use it "to surf the web and write documents." Well, guess what. You don't need a quad-core for that. You don't need a dual-core for that. I've surfed the web and written documents on my old single-core iPhone. Those tasks are just not that demanding.
So unless there are more things you want to do that you haven't mentioned, there is just about no way it's worth paying for quad-core or a 2.6GHz processor if all you are going to do is surf the web and write documents.
The quad-core is going to speed up operations that specifically benefit from parallel processing, like intensive editing of photo/audio/video, or bulk encoding of audio and video, or specific math apps, stuff like that. And most Mac users would not benefit from choosing the 2.6GHz over the 2.3GHz because the performance of so many common uses depends not only on the CPU speed, but actually on the overall balance of CPU, RAM, and disc. In other words, if you really have a legitimate application for 2.6GHz it usually means you must also install a great deal more RAM and also an SSD to avoid creating a bottleneck that holds back the CPU. But then you would have a machine that is massively overpowered and overpriced for surfing the web and writing documents.
You could surf the web and write documents quite effectively on the least expensive MacBook that Apple sells. But since you do want to keep it throughout all of college, it is a good idea to buy something higher than the bottom of the line. For a Mac for very basic uses that should last four years, I would suggest:
13-inch MacBook Air with 256GB SSD storage and 8GB RAM
13-inch MacBook Pro with 500GB HD storage and 8GB RAM
13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display with 256GB SSD storage and 8GB RAM
(You didn't mention what your budget is)
I suggested 13-inch because it's more portable than the 15-inch but more comfortable for 4 years than an 11-inch. I chose storage sizes that would be appropriate since you said you would do some video. And I chose 8GB RAM because 4GB may not be enough for 4 years, and also because insufficient RAM is often a bigger cause of lag than CPU or disk speed.
If you have a limited amount of money, from this point on you'll need to justify why you would want a bigger screen, a faster CPU, or more cores given the two tasks you said you'd be doing most of the time. Because again, if you didn't actually need a Mac, you could write documents and surf the web on an iPad with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover and be done for $600.

MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool

Hello,
I just installed the bios 1.34 on my K8N Diamond Plus MB. Everything went ok with the flash USB utility program.
Has anyone had trouble Disabling PCI ... and/or SATA ... Speed spectrum?
Everytime I try to disable them the computer freezes and restarts.
I did unplug the power cable and cleared the cmos by pressing the clear cmos button on board and all that good stuff.
Granted it's a beta Bios but just wanted to know if anyone else having that problem.
Sorry for bring this old topic back up. Didn't know if I should start another topic or posted in here. So please be kind

WHICH OPERTON DUAL CORE FOR K8N DIAMOD PLUS X16????
