X58 Platinum board vista issue??

SPECS.
MSI Platinum X58 mobo
Intel I7 920
Patriot Viper 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Sapphire Radeon 4850
There are a fre different errors, all 'seem' related. I cant determine if its Hardware or Software.
Win Vista 64 Ult. Reboots during install and I need to start over as it doesnt complete.
WHEN it does complete windows will randomly reboot and go to thw "windows didnt shutdown correctly" screen. OR Windows will just lock up and I need to hard reboot.
Win 7 Beta did the same reboot during install so i didnt bother multiple attempts.
For the hell of it I tried a win XP pro install (x86) and I got a nice blue sceen o' death.
was a pci.sys errror - address f748e0bf base at f7487000, datestamp 3b7d855c THEN stop:0x0000007e (0xc0000005, oxf748e0bf, oxf78da208, 0xf78d9f08)
I cant really determine whats going on. Does anyone have an idea OR a way to narrow this down? Any heap would be GREATLY apprecited!

I am only speculating you are having a RAM issue. However given that Intel says its Core I7s are only DDR3 800/1067 compatible and you are using 1333 RAM is probably your issue. Usually unstable systems that just randomly reboot and or hang up with no BSOD are caused by RAM issues.
Take a close look at your manual, use the exact serial numbers, and choose some RAM that it lists as compatible and is DDR3 800/1067. It will probably solve your issues. I always recommend using the Manual listed on the MoBo website because it is often more up to date than the printed one you get with the box.
From my personal experience so far I have built 3 X58 systems for clients using 1333 RAM and all three I could not stabilize. As soon as I switched to the MoBo recommend 1067 RAM all three stabilized and have run just fine.
That link I posted is a PDF that shows the memory that is recommended by MSI for use with the MoBo. It has listings for DDR3 800 and 1067 RAM. Personally I use crucial.
I hope this solves your issue.

I have replaced my motherboard as I had thought it originally was a duff BIOS chip as despite reflashing it, it would rarely pass the POST.
All parts apart from the PSU are the original Kit which had been working for 13 months ish.
Problem i am experiencing is the D-Bracket 2 Diagnostic LEDs are coming up Red/Amber as opposed to Red/Green and the machine just sits there and never displays anything, hence why BIOS isn't mentioned as I have no idea what version is currently on the BIOS chip.
I have stripped out down to just CPU and still get the same problem, I then swapped it for a FX53 which I had lying around which I know worked as it came out of my Vapochill chassis and also swapped out for some OCZ PC3700 512MB EB Dual Channel Platinum 3-3-2-8.. still no joy.
Any ideas greatly appreciated as I don't want to rebuild my machine as it is exactly how I wanted it I feel I have checked everything but maybe someone can shed a little light.
Anyone want a spare mboard or two ?? I now have three !

Your Tagan's behavior was typical of a failing PSU... but the Turb-Cool model you mention doesn't exist at the PCP&C web site; in fact there are a total of five other 510 models, some of which have only an 8-pin CPU power connector, so it's impossible to figure which one you have. Does your PSU have a 4- or 8-pin CPU power connector and, if the latter, how do you have it connected to the mbrd? The only 8-pin CPU power connector I've seen could not be connected to a 4-pin socket, which your mbrd has... or does your mbrd have both 4- and 8-pin?
The only other thing I'd remark is that Vista will not run satisfactorily with your nForce3 mbrd and an ATI video card.

Neo4 Platinum Board, boot issue, cannot get past first screen

I've spent some time looking through the forum to see if anyone had a solution to the problem I am about to describe and did not find one.
Here is the issue:
Whenever any USB device (1.1 or 2.0) is hooked up to any one of the four onboard USB ports all I get is the initial logo screen and the computer never moves on. I have tested hooking up a USB Keyboard, USB Mouse, enclosures, pen drives, etc. As long as there is a usb device in an onboard USB port the computer will not move past the initial logo screen. If there are no USB devices plugged into the onobard USB ports then the system will go all the way through with the boot and get into windows. Once within Windows the four onboard USB ports work fine. You can plug devices in and they are recognized. If there is already a solution to this issue I apologize for posting this and please point me in the right direction.
Thanks to anyone who replies

Did you use the USB ports on the motherboard, or did you use any USB port attached to the motherboards extra connectors? if the latter, it suggests that you have some faulty wiring of the USB cables. Check so that the connectors of the USB ports are correct with their signals according to the pin layout.
Faulty wired USB will cause the problem you describe.
Also check that you have not damaged the USB port. I have seen some computers where the plastic pin in the USB port has been broken of, and the connectors have been grounded. One example was a computer where the 5VSB was bent, grounding it, resulting in that the motherboard did not recognise any PS2 or USB keyboards.
Third, if the devices you attach draw to much amphere through the USB, it may cause these problems. You might need a powered USB hub.
Fourth, make sure your powersupply is powerful enough if you have many USB devices.

MSI X58 Platinum SLI RAID Issues

I recently bought another 300GB WD VelociRaptor and I am trying to set up a RAID 0 array through the BIOS using the JMicron controller. (sata7 and 8) I have set it up in the bios through the DriveBooster Manager or whatever and selected RAID 0. Windows setup detects a 600gb stripe but will not let me install due to drivers. I have put the JMicron drivers on my flash drive and they dont seem to work. Any insight on this?
EDIT: strangely enough I unplugged my drives and reseated the connections and in windows setup I didnt get any errors; it didnt even ask for a driver but I installed them anyway. I remember reading somewhere that if a SATA cable is bent in several ways it might cause problems like this.

SATA cables should never be bent sharply. Use rounded bends that don't exert much pressure at the turn.

Extremely Slow performance with X58 Platinum

I just upgraded from a core 2 quad 6600 with 8 gb of ram
to a core i7 920 on an X58 Platinum with 12 gb of 1333 ram (yes the ram is an approved spec according to the MSI online manual....I checked the part numbers on the ram)
I have an 9800gx2 and a velociraptor for a system drive, I have all the latest windows updates(vista 64) and the new 1.1 bios revision...and all the graphic card updates and chipset updates from intel
It is running so slow that as I type this the letters on screen cannnot keep up with my fingers, and I am not that fast of a typer.
It fells like I went back in time to a p3 or something.
Where should I begin to diagnose the problem??
Thanks in advance

I too have stepped back in time with my x

Specs
Motherboard Name MSI X58 Platinum SLI (MS-7522)Bios 322

CPU Type QuadCore Intel Core i7 920, 3800 MHz (21 x 181)
CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 LGA1366 i7 Heatpipe Cooler W/ 2XNH-P12 120MM Fan
Hard Drives Raptors SATA Stripe (297 GB)Raid 0
Video nVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 SLI
OS Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate(64 Bit)
I am running Raid 0 and performance is just terrible.Overclocks like a champ but the board is pretty much useless when it runs slow.
Things I have tried installed BIOS 322 which brang boot time to desktop to 1 minute 45 secs slow but ok I guess,some improvement in a couple games.
Installed XP64 no help or performance gain.
Windows 7 would just not install any drivers at all.
Vista 64 8 installs with no performance with different drivers.(You can install drivers off usb stick)
Bought a new Motherboard but I am going to wait a few days more and see if others BIOS will help.
There seems to be a few new BIOS I will try some them out today.
Contacted MSI tech support and they were kind enough to suggest the bios,you can give that a shot and see if it helps you out.My board is Platinum SLI board but should be same as Platinum board also but they have all the platinum BIos there too.
Regarding your concern,please log into following link to download and update to the latest bios A7522IMS.322:
-ftp link, username, password removed--not for public release
We would suggest you try to update the BIOS by using USB Bootable pendrive.It is convenienct for you:
1.First of all,please make a bootable USB.You can download USBoot.rar from following link.Then please unzip this software and install it to make a booting USB device:
--ftp link, username, password removed--not for public release
2.Next go to our website to download BIOS file, then copy “AFUD4281.exe” and “A7522IMS.322” into USB.
3.After that, restart PC, press F11, choose USB booting under “boot sequence”.
4.Under DOS mode, please type “AFUD4281.exe A7522IMS.322”(without the quotation marks)and it will be updated successfully!!
Remember to clean CMOS and Load Optimized Defaults under bios setup after you finish the BIOS update!

MSI X58 Platinum - power button after hibernate not working

Hi,
I have MSI X58 Platinum board that is having a problem recovering from hibernate state.
When I press the power button, it will turn on for about 2 seconds before shutting off again. Nothing is shown on the screen.
After pressing the power button several times more, it will then power up again and wake up from the hibernation. Everything is back to normal after that.
It used to work fine where single press to the power button is all it takes to wake up.
Has anyone experience this problem? It has no problem going to hibernate state (S3).
Thanks.

Ok, here's my complete configuration:
1) Motherboard: MSI X58 Platinum
2) Processor: i7-920
3) BIOS version: 3.80 (latest version)
4) VGA: Inno3D 8800 GT (512 MB DDR3)
5) Memory: 3 x 2 GB (Corsair DDR3 triple channel)
6) Hard drive: 300GB (Western Digital Velociraptor) + 1TB (Western Digital Caviar Black)

Sata Seagate 1000GB ST1000333AS + MSI x58 Platinum issue

Hi guyz,
I write you because i have some problem with my sata harddisk..
-Intel [email protected]
-MSI x58 Platinum 3.4v AMI Bios (updated)
-Corsair 3x1GB @ 1440Mhz
-ATi HD4870 512MB
-Seagate 1000GB ST31000333AS (Firmware CC1H)
-Windows 7 Ultimate
-Enermax 600W (There is a table of DC amp dont know which one could be useful)
As you can see from the screenshots i have a big issue with transfer speed....I dont know which is the problem but here what i've done to try to fix it
1.I format it, switch it from IDE to AHCI and reinstall a new w7 ultimate edition (with XP same problem)
2.Switch from SATA pin to eSATA pin (dont know which are the differents), that's because w7 can't read AHCI in normal SATA pin
3.I've noticed that since i upgraded AMI Bios to 3.4v that problem happened
4.All driver like "Intel 3/4/5 Chipset Drivers" and "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver" are updated, but "JMicron JMB36x IDE Drivers" aren't installed
5.I've noticed that when i was in SATA pin, i switched to another pin and everything became normal with high transfer for something like 10 min and than wxp switch the sata back to PIO mode or DMA mode (dont remeber, anyway the slower mode)
6.My harddisk isn't affected by a bugged firmware
So what can i do to fix this really bad problem??
EDIT:
With Everest software i recognize this about UMDA:
Transfer mode active UDMA: UDMA 0 instead of UDMA 6 (ATA-133) and Transfer mode PIO: PIO 4
So UDMA 0 is the problem...so now what can i do?

Quote
Have i to reinstall the bios after that?
No, definately not.
There have been severe Firmware Issues with some Seagate Hard Drive. Check with Seagate if your hard drive is affected.

X58 Platinum BIOS 1.0 vs 1.1

Every manufacturer in I've dealt in the past with has always provided a detailed list of changes incorporated in a BIOS update so the customer can decide whether he's affected and so wants to bother with the update. Not MSI. All I can find on their site is the cryptic statement, "Improved system performance" I like better performance as much as the next guy but I'm distrustful of such a broad statement.
Does anyone know exactly what changes were incorporated in the BIOS 1.1 update for X58 Platinum?
Thanks, Bob423

Problem with MSI X58 Platinum SLI - IOH temperature !

Hi guys.
I have this PC configuration:
- MSI X58 Platinum SLI ( Bios Version 3.8 - http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6707/161020101249.jpg )
- Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz box ( with Intel Turbo Boost running sometimes at 3.06 Ghz )
- MSI GeForce GT240 1GB DDR5 128-bit HDMI
- Corsair 6GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3 Triple Channel Kit ( sets to AUTO and running at 1066 Mhz )
- Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU
- Ordinary case ( http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4200/161020101246.jpg & http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8480/161020101247.jpg ).
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I bought my PC components 2 months ago, so they are new.
Now, guys I think that is a problem with my motherboard. When I turn on the computer in Bios I have this temps: CPU – 30 C (86 F); IOH – 71 C (159 F); System 30 C (86 F) - http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/394/161020101242.jpg. After 2 minutes the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 82 C (179 F); System 41 C (105 F) and 2 more minutes later the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 84 C (183 F); System 43 C (109 F). After 30 minutes of doing nothing I have this temps: CPU – 35 C (95 F); IOH – 85 C (185 F); System 42 C (107 F) -
Guys it is normal with IOH temperature ? I am a little worried about it ( to be honest I am more than “a little” … I am worried a lot ).
Ok, I know I don’t have a good case but in 3 weeks I should receive this Thermaltake Spedo Advance Case (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1121&ID=1829) and I will buy a new CPU cooler ( I don’t know yet wich one – maybe Corsair CWCH70 or Noctua NH-D14 but I have to see the case first … to be sure there is a plenty of space for those coolers ).
Pls help me with that IOH temperature. It is normal ? What if I intend to make a little OC ( lets say CPU to 3652 Mhz and RAM to 1333 Mhz … but also I will ask for your support ! ) my motherboard will burn ?
If it is necessary I will contact my retailer and send him back the motherboard but … I like MSI a lot.
Thx guys for your support !

Hey guys,
Here is a nice cheap alternative.
Here is my story about the same issue. I found it after looking at why my computer freezes sometimes. Not very often but enough for me to do some investigation. I noticed my IOH temp was a whopping 117 degrees Celsius. lol. Surprised my mobo didn't burn out by now. I wanted to evaluate the situation with the heat sink and decided to take it off. After taking it off I found extremely crusty purple compound on board the chipset and the heatsink. I took me FOREVER to scrape it off. it was almost like a cement which I found odd. After scraping and cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I placed some silver compound on and proceeded to put it back on.
Well, upon hooking everything back up I was still at 95 to 103 degs. Now I started to really look at the options to replace this. I had SLI config which means I had to do something clever with the southbridge as well. A nice thermaltake chipset solution w/fan and a low profile copper southbridge with shipping was about 45 bucks. Hmm ... This is a sure fix from the threads I have read and its really kid of expensive to fix a simple defect. the problem is not necessarily with the heatsink not being sufficient. Its the combo of the compound used vs the amount of pressure applied between the heatsink and chipset. It was completely unacceptable. I knew this right away when I was watching the temp and then I would press on the top of the IOH heatsink and I would watch it drop another 15 degrees in less then 10 seconds. The springs are extremely weak and not effective at all in transferring the heat from the NB.
Here if my fix. Cost me less than a dollar at the hardware store and it works ideal thus far. Do this at your own risk. Doing this will probably void any warranty too. All my problems are solved and I am running at 57 degrees, YES, 57 degrees with the stock heatsink and no additional cooling.
For one scrape all that old crap off like I did. Apply your new compound. But when you go to replace your heatsink, use the following method. The trick is to use metal screws with a mobo washer, original springs from the plastic studs and a nylon locknut. Use screws that are the same diameter and length (maybe a tad bit longer) as the plastic retainer studs. Also grab a few of those red nylon mobo washers too, were gonna need them as well.
After scraping and applying compound, reassemble as follows. Screw with washer inserted into the back of the mobo so the threads are out front. The plastic/nylon washer is betweeen the screwhead and the back of the mobo as a insulator. Put the heatsink on. With the threads thru the heatsink already, put the springs on and start spinning on the locknut. I torqued the nut down on the spring until the spring almost became fully compressed. The purpose of the spring here is really to prevent you breaking something and at the same time using the max force of the spring since it weak to begin with. Thats why we need to compress it down pretty much all the way. There will be little to no room in the spring at this point. The heatsink at this point should be pretty solid to the board as well. I noticed with the plastic studs before the heatsink would wobble if you gave it a little rocking back and forth before. Not this time. Shouldn't move much if at all. Remember not to torque down too much. You don't want to go beyond the springs compression. Even if you did by accident, its better then not using a spring at all. If you feel that it starts to feel tight when torquing, you torqued too far. Stop an backup a 1/4 turn or so. It is also very important to make sure both torques are equal on both sides as well. Alternate sides when torquing down. I could tell by how much thread I had left on both sides and by looking for any uneven sides.
To summarize, the compound is a problem no doubt. After you resolve the compound issue, its all about the adequate pressure between the heatsink and the IOH. Much like the amount of pressure needed between your CPU and your heatsink give or take. And the pressure that would be as an aftermarket solution like the thermaltake chipset cooler. You dont see cheesy springs on that. Wake up MSI. Simpy using a more effective spring could save MSI some cash in the long run. I envision a leafsprin design like the thermaltake chipset one. The heatsink design could be better, sure, but the design itself is not the problem. Replace the heatsinks if you would like to, if your overclocking and stuff. Funny, this board I have is a refurb too and only had it for a few weeks. Figured they would have done something about it.
Sorry the pics are not the best. Here is about as close as I could get to the finished product

X58 Platinum Raid 1 Setup Problems

I am having difficulties installing and setting up Raid during my Windows 7 installation and wanted to see where I was going wrong. My setup is as follows:
Windows 7 Upgrade CD
MSI X58 Platinum motherboard
1 Seagate 250gb HDD (I intend to put the OS on this drive)
2 Seagate 1tb drives (Intended to be in Raid 1 configuration - moving all of my data files to the raid configuration)
Intel ICH10 8.5 drivers already installed. Attempting to install 8.9.0.1023 from both floppy and flash drive. Drivers downloaded from MSI site and Intel.
I can install Windows 7 without any issue if my Integrated Peripherals in the BIOS are set to IDE, but the second that I set it to Raid, things go downhill.
All three drives are visible in the BIOS. I have created a Raid 1 volume using the Intel Matrix Manager 8.5 and selected the 1TB drives.
I have the integrated peripherals setting set to Raid, but the second I do, Windows 7 installation indicates "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition". I have tried formating the HDD and using bootrec /fixmbr to correct the problem, but I have not had any luck.
1)I boot up the system with the Windows Installation CD in my drive, boot sequence is set to A:, Flash USB, CD/DVD drive, HDDs.
2)Windows installation starts. I select Custom Installation.
3)2 drives are visible - the drive I intend to install the OS and the Raid drive
4)I load the Intel Matrix Drivers using the load drivers command
5)I attempt to install Windows 7 upon successful installation of the Intel Driver and I get the error message stated above.
The three drives are all installed on the main board Sata slots: intended OS on Sata 1, intended raid drives on Sata 2 & 3.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Am I missing a step in the installation procedure or executing the installation procedures in the wrong order?

Kinda seems like I chose the wrong one!! LOL!
I cannot get anything over 3.0GHZ
The max base clock the Mobo will let me do is 151???
I have even tried to manually change the switches on the board to 166 instead of 133..
Can somebody please help??
I tried doing everything in the BIOS.
BTW how do you add pictures here??

X58 Platinum cant power up. No POST

Hi guys, I will appreciate if anyone can help me out.
I just bought a brand d new system with the following specs:
•   MSI x58 Platinum LGA 1366
•   Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem
•   Corsair XMs3 DDR 3RAM 6GB 3 X 2Gb
•   Western Digital Caviar1.0 Tb HD
•   eVGA GeForce GTX 260
•   Cooler Master 750 Watts PSU
•   Creative Xfi Titanium Fatality
I’ve tried just about everything but the system will just not boot up, It will not even POST
Some of the things I have done to try an fix the issue:
•   Remove the board from the case
•   Make sure the memory is in the black slot and trying single, dual and triple channel
•   Change the video card
•   Unplug all unnecessary add ons ( audio card, usb ports, etc)
•   Reset the BIOS using the Bios button
•   Remove the battery
When I press the power button the mother board will light up all the led in color blue and one in green, the fans at max but that’s it, it will do nothing else, if I remove the memory it doesn’t beep or anything, should I RMA the board? Is there another solution?
I will appreciate your help.

Stop wasting time like I did, it is a deffective board. As soon as i got the new MB everything work from the beggining LIKE IT SHOULD. RMA and get a new one, it is frustrating enough not knowing the cause of the problem but now that you do, stop waiting for solution and get your RMA.
You're right - thanks for the advice.
Got my RMA number and should be able to ship that off today...
Hopefully my next one isn't DOA as well

Overclocking a Core i7 920 with X58 Platinum: Advice needed!

Hello everyone,
Just got my Core i7 920 and I would like to see how far I can take it with the hardware that I have. Although I've read countless overclocking articles over the years (mainly on Tom's Hardware), this is actually going to be my first time doing it. So I guess this makes me a n00b....
So, here is my hardware setup:
CM Storm Scout Case
Intel Core i7 920
MSI X58 Platinum
Coolit Systems Domino CPU Water Cooling System
G.SKILL 6GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24
ASUS GeForce 9500GT Top
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad 750W
I've already tried fiddling around the BIOS and also tried the DIP switches on the MOBO (tried the 166 settings). At this point I'm guessing I'll have to turn off some options in the BIOS or something because CPU-Z is reporting different Core Speed, multiplier and QPI Link every 2 second.
For the record, I'm not necessarily trying to break 4Ghz with this overclock... just wanna take advantage of this 920 and the CoolIt Domino; anything stable between 3.2 and 3.8GHz and I'm happy

Depends on the type of blue screen you get.
The way I under stand it is if the errors end with 124 ie 0x0000124 this is most likely QPI related.
This is taken from the evga forums and I am only posting as a reference.. The Credit belongs to Freemortal at evga. Not everythign applies to the MSI boards but the important ones do.
This guide is an attempt to assemble as much info about the various i7 voltages you can change in the BIOS. I can't do it alone though. This community has a wealth of information on the subject. Please post what you know and I'll add it to the first post here. Please make it as concise as possible.
If you believe any of this information to be inaccurate, let me know.
NOTE: This guide is applies specifically to the "EVGA X58 SLI" motherboard released in 2008. Most of this info also applies to other X58 motherboards as well but some labels and tolerances may be different depending on the make. This guide assumes you use a high quality, after-market heatsink and fan. Do not raise voltages with the stock cooler!
THE VOLTAGES
Caution: The voltage you set is not necessarily the voltage you get. Furthermore the voltage you read is not necessarily accurate either. The Eleet utility (along with any other software monitoring utility) will simply report what the motherboard tells it to report. When measured independently, these readings are close, but not entirely accurate.
VCore (default: 1.28125v, Intel's max 1.375v, VCore over 1.50v on air cooling is risky)
What it does:
Sets max voltage to the CPU cores. (if Vdroop is disabled, it will set the min voltage instead) The i7 doesn't need much voltage at speeds under 3.8ghz. (For example, I can get 3.8ghz on 1.275 vcore) Beyond that the voltage requirements climb sharply.
When to raise VCore:
* BSOD 101 "Clock Interrupt not received from Secondary Processor"
* LinX produces errors that are very
* LinX errors happen within 1 min of LinX
* LinX produces BSOD within the first minute
You know VCore is too high when:
* CPU cores approach a peak of 85c on full load
* It is unknown how higher voltages may impact the life of the CPU
CPU VTT Voltage (default: 1.1V (+0mV in BIOS) Intel's max 1.35 (+250mV)
What it does:
VTT connects the cores with the memory. Raising VTT helps keep a system stable at higher QPI rate. Since QPI is calculated from bclk: the higher the bclk the more VTT voltage you will need. VTT is also called "QPI/DRAM Core" on other motherboards,
Prevent CPU damage: VTT voltage must be within 0.5V of VDimm. Vdimm can fluctuate by as much as 0.05V from settings so you may want VTT within 0.45V of VDimm for that extra margin of safety. Example: if Vdimm is 1.65V, then VTT must be at least 1.20V.
When to raise CPU VTT Voltage:
* BSOD 124 "general hardware failure"
* LinX errors happen only after 10 min or more
* LinX hangs but does not BSOD
* LinX reboots without BSOD
You know CPU VTT Voltage is too high when:
* Most users try and stay below 1.45V (+350V) for 24/7 use without additional direct cooling.
* The motherboard doesn't read the temp so you may need an IR thermometer to be sure you are not pushing VTT too far.
CPU PLL VCore (default: 1.800V, spec range: 1.65V-1.89V)
What it does:
Keeps CPU clock in-sync with bclk.
When to raise CPU PLL VCore:
* May help with stability while increasing the bclk or CPU multiplier.(or may make it worse)
* May help with stability past 210 bclk if you observe that during runtime the QPI Link (found in E-Leet) bounces too much.
* Not a commonly raised. May actually cause instability. Test this variable alone.
You know CPU PLL VCore s too high when:
* Its possible you could actually gain stability by lowering this.
DIMM Voltage (default: 1.5V, Intel's max 1.65)
What it does:
Voltage to the RAM. Despite Intel's warnings, you can raise voltage beyond 1.65 as long as it is always within 0.5V of VTT (as described above).
When to raise DIMM Voltage :
* High performance/gaming RAM usually requires at least 1.65v to run at spec. Some manage to get it slightly lower.
* Stable bclks over 180 often require VDIMM beyond 1.65V. Remember to keep VTT voltage within 0.5V of VDIMM.
You know DIMM Voltage is too high when:
* Memory is too hot. [more info on this is needed]
DIMM DQ Vref (default: +0mV)
What it does:
It is the reference voltage for a pseudo-differential transmission line. The DQ signals sent by the memory controller on the i7 should swing between logic-hi and logic-lo voltages centered around VREF. VREF is typically half way between the drain and source voltages on the RAM. Most VREF generator circuits are designed to center between the VDD and VSS voltages on the RAM. There is usually temperature compensation built into the circuitry as well.
When to raise DIMM DQ Vref:
* Vref might be adjusted if (after measurement) it was determined not to be properly centered between VDD and VSS of the DIMM. Without a good osciloscope it's difficult to imagine that most users could set VREF correctly. They may be able to set VREF empirically by moving it up or down and checking for POST or BSOD problems.
Further reading:
http://download.micron.com/pdf/technotes/ddr2/TN4723.pdf The document is for DDR2 but differential signaling is a topic that transcends memory models. It has been done for decades in high-end systems and the advantages/drawbacks are well understood.
QPI PLL VCore (default: 1.1v, <1.4v is pretty safe)
What it does:
Keeps on-chip memory controller in-sync with bclk.
When to raise QPI PLL VCore:
* Try raising this along with Vcore and VTT, but in smaller increments.
* Helps stabilize higher CPU Uncore frequencies and QPI frequencies (in CPU feature)
* Try raising this when you increase memory clock speed via multiplier.
* Try raising when LinX produces errors after a few minutes without BSOD
IOH Vcore (default: 1.1V)
What it does:
Sets voltage for on-chip north bridge which connects PCIE2.0, GPU, Memory, and CPU.
When to raise IOH VCore:
* Possibly needed if you overclock your north bridge (via bclk and CPU Uncore freq.)
You know IOH VCore is too high when:
* Memory errors? (just a guess)
* GPU intensive apps like 3dmark vantage crash. (another guess)
IOH/ICH I/O Voltage (default: 1.5V)
What it does:
some sort of on-chip bus voltage. unknown
ICH Vcore (default: 1.05V)
What it does:
South Bridge chip on the motherboard. Connects all motherboard features, cards (not PCIE2.0), and drives to CPU/memory on IOH
When to raise ICH Vcore:
* I don't know if raising this can help in overclocking at all. Possibly necessary in order to keep up with an overclocked northbridge?
You know ICH Vcore is too high when:
* unknown. I wouldn't overvolt it too much though.
PWM Frequency (default: 800)
What it does:
unknown
When to raise PWM Frequency:
* Overclocking beyond 4.2ghz
You know PWM Frequency is too high when:
* VREG approaches 85c
VDroop (default: enabled)
What it does:
Safety feature designed by Intel to protect the chip from excessive wear from voltage spikes. Enabling VDroop keeps actual voltage running below the VCore setting in BIOS
What does disabling VDroop do?
* Makes VCore setting the minimum value for actual voltage; CPU will run at higher voltages than what you set in BIOS.
* Disabling VDroop is the same as enabling Load Line Calibration on other x58 boards.
Why would I want to disable VDroop?
* Some overclockers use it because it allows them to get a high overclock while setting lower VCore in BIOS. This is because the running voltage is actually higher than what was set in BIOS. Disabling VDroop keeps actual voltage higher than what is set for VCore in the BIOS. Enabling Vdroop keeps actual voltage lower than VCore.
* It might help if you are pushing the bleeding edge.
Diagnosing errors. What to do when...
BSODs
* BSOD "IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL" (I forget)
* BSOD 101 "Clock Interrupt not received from Secondary Processor" Try raising VCore
* BSOD 124 "general hardware failure" Try raising VTT
LinX Errors
If you get an error you would have x same (correct) results and 1 different (an error):
* If the incorrect result differs slightly from the rest (numbers very close, same powers in Residual & Residual (norm)) it is most likely that there's not enough vcore. In this case only a small vcore bump is usually needed to stabilize the system (alternatively, Vtt & GTL tweaking can sometimes fix this too)
* If the wrong result differs much from the others (different power or even positive power in Residual or Residual (norm)) it might be 1) insufficient vcore (the error would happen at the very first runs then) or 2) some memory / NB instability (when it worked for say 10 minutes ok and then produced a different result)
More serious LinX errors:
* BSOD during testing (at the very first runs) is often caused by too low vcore
* System hangs and remains hung it is almost 100% not a CPU but memory or possibly NB issue
* System reboots (with no hang prior to reboot and no BSOD) - a CPU issue, but not vcore related (insufficient PLL or Vtt I guess)
* System hangs for a short while and then BSODs - once again NB or memory problem (but might be wrong Vtt / GTL setting as well)
* System hangs and then just reboots - wrong Vtt (too low or too high) or GTL settings

K9n Platinum S3 BIOS Issue

Hi
I have a K9N Platinum board that is running Windows MCE2005. My issue is that the only bios that I can use to successfully send the pc to sleep is the 1.3.
If i try any other bios ( up to the latest ) whenever I put it to stand-by it immediately turns back on!
I have even disabled all wake up events in the bios with nothing plugged in at all and it still just resumes straight away.
Bios v 1.3 is the only one that it works correctly on.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

They may go away, they may not. But you need that CPU first.

JMicron + x58 Platinum + windows 7 64 bit = no go

Hi all,
I have an MSI x58 platinum running bios 3.7. (ive also got a core i7 930 (3 x 2 GIG ram))
My issue is
Ive just rebuilt it and i have just acquired 2 x 36GIG 10000RPM Raptors.
Ive done as per the manual said and stuck them on SATA 7/8 made a RAID 0 (see it in the BIOS).
The issue is when i start to load Win7 64bit I get to the "where do you want to install windows" part.
I see Disk 0 Partition 1 is the 68.9 (Jmicro RAID0) that i have setup.
I select it and Windows spurts "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition".
So what am i doing wrong? Ive tried to load the Jmicro driver at this point that i download from the MSI website v1.17.55.00. It doesnt show it automatically you need to untick "hide drivers that are not compatable with hardware on this computer". Weird as its Jmicro and its from MSI and MSI recommended.
Ive also had a try with forcing that driver but still no go.
Anyone of you gurus have any ideas? Is there some sort of seperate bios bootloader section that i need to do some stuff in?
Cheers
Anthony

Yes they support TLER.
The Jmicron is a faster option.
But it doesn't work. I still say to forgo the small performance boost and stick with the Intel controller. In my experience I wouldn't trust the Jmicron as my boot controller. Try Google and type "JMicron RAID problem" and you may be turned off by what you read.

X58 Platinum board vista issue??
