X58 Pro-E USB3 and Asus U3S6...supported?

All,
I took a risk and got an Asus U3S6 card at Amazon for $25. Yea, I know it says you need an Asus board! I wanted to add more SATA ports and have full-bandwidth USB3.
It's really not a big deal anymore as I found a 90-degree SATA cable and can now use all 7 ports. Also, the USB3 card is in the x4 slot, so the USB3 chip is getting PCI-E 2.0 bandwidth so it's not limited anymore or anything...but I still have the card.
When I put this card in, the system won't post unless I have the stock 133Mhz BCLK, but it won't boot with any SATA drives attached. At my normal 186BCLK the system does not post.
Just curious...maybe the necessary BIOS support will be added as I know MSI makes a similar card, although I guess not in the US market.
Also, liking the Pro-E. While it doesn't have the complex power circuits as more expensive boards, I have found it is efficient and allows good overclocks. I run 3.9 (4.3 at full TB) with a +.06V increase only. The IOH was hot, but I replaced the thermal solution...although it's still hot...at least it's stable. Also, running it with 2*GTX470s clocked at 725 instead of 607.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks, it's not that important, though.
I wanted a card that combined the USB3 and SATA on 1 card, as I'm out of slots!
I know MSI makes a similar card, but I have not seen it offered for sale. Curious whether that will work with the Pro-E or not...

MSI X58 Pro-E USB3

At Newegg, they're now selling the X58 Pro-E with a USB 3.0 card included. Will MSI make this adapter available for those of us who purchased a Pro-E board earlier?

This is not a special adapter or anything like that. It is pretty much a standard USB-3 extension card (PCI-E x1) which features an NEC USB 3.0 chipset/controller. You could use every other card of that type on any board that has PCI-E ports.
So, if you want an USB 3.0 upgrade for your board, pick any card like that you like and you will end up with the same result.

Again, that card is not a special design to fit the X58 Pro-E. It is sold under the name "Star-USB3 USB3.0 Expansion Card". I have no idea if it is sold in your region:

Kodak DCS PRO SLR/c and SLR/n support!

When are we going to see support for the DCR format RAW images off these very fine Kodak Professional cameras?
Kodak DCS PRO SLR/c
Kodak DCS PRO SLR/n
Kodak DCS PRO SLR/14
Very fustrating to have JUST spent $8k on the SLR/c, a 14megapixel camera, and new powerbook to run it all on, only to be left with "unsupported image".
Even DNG conversions don't open. I'm stuck with TIFFs for now

i think it has something to do with Kodak discontinuing their Dslr range over a year ago.

X58 Pro OC switch and BIOS OC

Which one has higher priority?
In the manual, I read that
Hardware Overclock Base clock Switch: CPU_CLK
You can overclock the Base clock to increase the processor freq
his switch. Follow the instructions below to set the base clock.
Only base clock and no voltages are changed?
Thanks

Hi sf3000. When you change the base clock switch, the voltages adjust in the bios automatic. No manual adjustments are necessary.

MSI x58 ProE and Corsair 12GB (3x4GB) RAM Issues

Greetings!
New poster here with a question that I cannot seem to find an answer to anywhere. I've looked over the forums but have had no luck figuring it out. My goal is to identify the culprit and replace the appropriate parts.
I built this computer in 2009 with the intention of doing OpenCL/CUDA computing and handle all my multimedia. At the time, 6GB DDR3 RAM (3x2GB) was about all I could afford. The machine works great, but lately, attempting to do some video and image processing has been hitting limits on my available RAM. I also want to run a linux VM or two. I thought I would order the Corsair 3x4GB DDR3 kit from NewEgg and not have any problems upgrading. I didn't have any plans of running the 6 and 12 GB sets simultaneously because I thought there would be some sort of memory density/timing issues.
New RAM desired: Corsair Dominator with DHX Pro Connector and Airflow II Fan - DDR3 Memory Kit (CMP12GX3M3A1600C9)
Old RAM in system: Corsair Dominator with DHX Pro Connector - 6GB Triple Channel (CMP6GX3M3A1600C8)
Request 1: Can I mix the 6 and 12 GB sets (for a total of 18GB) if I keep the density the same across each set of slots? There are 3 black (primary) and 3 blue (secondary). I was thinking of putting the 12GB in black, and 6GB in Blue.
I placed the order, received it, and went to install it yesterday. Took the existing 6GB out and dropped the 12GB in, saw that BIOS recogized it with the right timings, and proceeded to boot Windows up. Blue-screen at the very first Windows logo. I thought "well that stinks, let's check to see if the RAM is defective through MemTest." Downloaded an ISO of 4.2, fired it up, and it hung right away. Hung in the "Address Test, Own Address" test. Big fat A note: BIOS and MemTest both recognized the full capacity of the sticks.
My next thought was "Well, one of them might be bad, let's try to find out which one." I individually put each one in the first slot on the board, ran MemTest, and showed 0 problems on any tests with each of them.
Summary thus far: Individually, each 4GB stick works perfectly. In combination, they fail. The full 3x2GB set works perfectly.
My next theory was that my board might be bad (even though the 3x2GB set in the same slots has no issues). Knowing that the first slot was good with every bit of memory I put in there, I left a 4GB stick in slot 1, and dropped a 4GB stick in slot 2. MemTest hung again. Thinking it might have been that one stick, I put the other one in there, and it hung also. So, slot 2 looks suspect. Move the sticks to 1&3, and they look fine, but that still leaves me missing 4GB of RAM.
I've followed advice and re-seated the CPU, looked for bent pins (none found), and tried manually setting the timings to the 9-9-9-24 that is printed on the sticks. No luck with any of that.
Request 2: So, my question to you is what am I missing? I feel like the board is the problem, due to the slot 2 problem with the 4GB sticks. However, my 2GB sticks don't have any problems at all in the same slots. Could the 4GB sticks require a little more power that my board might not be pushing out (the board is labeled at 1.5V, the sticks are labeled 9-9-9-24, 1.65V)? Would a bent pin be causing this that my eyes just cannot see? I read somewhere that a guy had a pin that was 0.25mm off that was causing his problems.
Or should I be looking at the memory? The 3x2GB set works fine, but the 3x4GB does not.
I'm not sure what my next step should be other than replace the RAM first, motherboard second. The RAM I just got, so I could RMA it if I knew exactly what the problem was. The motherboard is approaching 3 years old and presumably is out of warranty. I wouldn't mind replacing it, but I don't want to spend money right now if I don't have to.
I don't have a second machine to test on, although I'm trying to locate one (most of my friends don't build custom PCs). I have also tried putting the 6GB in the black slots and 12GB in the blue, but the machine doesn't work with that configuration either.
Request 3: Could someone explain how I could aim for 1066MHz on my RAM? I read that on the X58 Pro-E that this resolves most problems with random bluescreens. When I try to do this, I get lost in the numbers/options within the BIOS.
Anything else I might be missing? I'm out of ideas
Thank you all so much for the help!

Hi and welcome,
You have 2 "bottlenecks": the processor and the mainboard.
http://ark.intel.com/products/37147/Intel-Core-i7-920-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) : 24 GB
Memory Types : DDR3-800/1066
Memory Channels : 3
Max Memory Bandwidth : 25.6 GB/s
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro-E.html#/?div=Detail
• Supports six unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333*/1600* (OC) DRAM, 24GB Max
As you can see, above 1066MHz you need to overclock both the processor and the mainboard.
I think for your config the best shot is 3 x 4GB DDR3-1333 (9-9-9-24 at 1.55-1.60V)

MSI x58 Pro and Quad SLI

OK I am new to this forum first off. So hey! lol. Now maybe this has been discussed.... well im sure it might have been but I thought I would get a direct answer from somebody. I have the Msi x58 Pro mobo and I planning to run QUAD SLI with GTX 295's. Now my BIOS version is the oldest.... I think 7.0 which doesnt support SLI right? and I have read that MSI motherboards now supports SLI. WIll this configuration work and should I update my BIOS to the most current version??

Yes, update with the 8 series bios. That will enable SLI. Please, be sure to use the forum USB Flash Tool for the bios update.

X58 pro and x5650

Hi
Seeing how these xeon chips are now cheap as chips I decided to get one for my now ancient x58 pro. Some hexacore goodness. After running some benches I cant help smile at a 60 quid chip in my old 2009 board can still do some good results. But anyways.
It works I can overclock it and its cooler than my old 920 but In bios settings the uncore ratio is totally blacked out. The motherboard just keeps it at a x2 ratio with memory and I have no way to change it. It recommended that's its kept at a 1.5 unlike the normal x2 for the i7s.
Is it a quirk with this board\chip or do I have to change a option in bios so it becomes available? I got the latest bios btw, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

yes its 8.f. All other options work and this chip is more than happy running even overclocked. Its that uncore is a big part of the oc and was wondering what/if can be done about it.
Saying that many boards listed the gulftowns and a few xeons then stopped updating there chips on the support pages. Not many x58 boards that don't support these chips. My pro does but its a shame it might be bugged so I cant get the most out of it.

My 1st MSI i7 x58 pro experience and issues

I got a MSI X58 Pro + i7 920 D0 + Corsair 1600-CL8 RAM (non dominator) + Win7 Ultimate/Linux. I could never run it at 1600. It was quite flaky. Then I bought some cheaper 1333-CL7 ram from ocz. Has given me less pains. Its stable at stock. I have a antec solo case with an antec earthwatts 500W. BIOS version is 7.3. Have a nvidia low end card.
Issues
* However, I cant still raise BCLK to 155+ ... get blue screens in Win7. I disabled spread spectrum.
* IOH temps are 58C on idle!!!
* Computer doesnt go to sleep in Win 7.
Compare that with a bunch of builds with UD4P from G. IOH at 47C and I can just set the BCLK at 166 and forget it ... everything runs without a snag .... and all of them behave the same way. I used 1333-CL9 RAM on those no issues at all. Am wondering whats wrong with this board (or the model in general). Is this a less stable board from MSI, compared to the other models.
What am I doing wrong?

Your IOH temp is fine. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129940.0 Are you using the stock CPU cooler or aftermarket?

Recommend first, update bios to version 8.6 using the forum's USB Flash Tool. Contact MSI Tech. Support if this doesn't resolve the sleep issue.

X58 Pro and esata - Won't work...

I am just beyond frustrated with esata now! Wouldn't work on my last board (Asus P5K-Deluxe) and now it won't work with my latest build on the X58 Pro.
I tried to connect my Thermaltake BlacX external storage device via esata today and nothing happened when it was connected. I tried two different cables, one brand new one and one that has the corners 'shaved'.
I got ticked off tonight and bought a Lacie D2 Quadra 1TB external drive with esata. No go for this as well. Both the Thermaltake and Lacie work via USB2 no problem but USB2 just isn't fast enough.
I have made sure the Extra RAID/IDE Controller was Enabled in the BIOS (which it was)...
Aanyone have any suggestions?

Sometimes it is that easy. That's why I asked about the OS you had. Some component recognition issues tend to arise from time to time with different versions. Drivers are another fun element in the mix as well. If it stops showing again, looks like a 'reboot' will fix it. As an afterthought, it may have something to do with the 'connect' sequence. Now & then if I forget (can relate to age), & leave a portable device connected after shutdown, at bootup, the boot sequence is all messed up. Anyway, glad it is working now.

Unable to boot with MSI X58 PRO-E and OCZ3P1333LV6GK

Hi,
This is my first post in this forum.
I've had this system for about 6 months, and from time to time I kept having instant reboots and once the PC would never start, I think I've sorted that by first flashing an old MB BIOS and then the most recent.
Tree days ago I've had another instant reboot, but now the system stops/reboots when the coloured animation starts to appear above the "Loading windows" message. This happens with both Win7 32 & 64 bits and even with the windows 7 installation DVD !!!
I think I've tried all combinations of the other posts where the MB+memory was the same as mine.
Another strange issue is: the memory PN shown inside the BIOS (OCZ3G1333LV2G) is different from the label on the memory (OCZ3G1333LV6GK)!!
I've already tested with only one memory chip at a time, the result is still the same.
I've only got connected the following: Video board, 1 RAM chip, USB Keyboard & one SATA HD. No over clocking whatsoever !
What else do I need to do to finally boot to windows ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Paulo
My System:
Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E, model MS-7522, version 3.1

Video: Sapphire Vapor-X ATI RAdeon HD 4870 2GB

OS: Windows 7 32 & 64 bits

Hi Henry,
Thanks for the help.
"What are your RAM timings? Screenshot of CPU-Z Memory tab and SPD tab."
I've added a few screenshots of the memory, the SPD & CPU-Z tab, plus a MEM86 test with only on memory stick installed. It appears that the memory is OK... or not ?
"Do you have another video card you can try? Those Sapphire Vapor-X cards have been a problem for others in the past."
I wasn't aware of any problems with this video card, I use it mainly to send movies to my big LCD TV through the HDMI port. I don't have access to another video card, sorry...
I don't know what else to do, do you think it's the PSU ?
Regards,
Paulo

Had a recent crash on my macbook, was previously using OS 10.6 I think. Restored from recent Time Machine backup and updated to OS 10.8.2 and now I cannot open Logic Pro 9. I get a 'No entry' Icon and a not supported on this type of Mac message. I cannot update either as anything up to 9.1.1 tells me I don't need it yet 9.1.2 tells me I need an eligable Logic Pro Version was not found in applications.
All of my files are stored in a separate hard drive with only the actual app having been on my Macbook. Should I just reinstall?

Hi
To run Mouitain Lion you need to update Logic.
For the updaters to work the Logic application must be:
a) Within the Applications folder, and not in any sub-folder
b) Named "Logic Pro" with no extra numbers or spaces

Windows 8.1 standad (not-Pro/Enterprise) x86 and x64 bit client support

Can someone from the team please clarify if Windows 8.1 standard (not pro/ent) x86 and x64 computers are supported as full Intune computers?
I want my small business customers who have BYOD (home computers) that have Windows 8.1 standard (NOT RT) be monitored, managed, AND have the same anti-malware system as the Windows 8.1 Pro/Ent computers.
This was clearly (and surprisingly) addressed at the Build 2013 conference this year in San Francisco when Intune and OpenMDM was discussed but the updated TechNet pages such as
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj676630.aspx show that Pro/Ent is required.
Is there another Intune service update coming that adds support for home computers, is the documentation wrong, or did I misunderstand the keynote and the answers to my follow up questions from that event?
Thanks!

Jon,
Can you address if there is technical issue or if this is a licensing/policy issue?
I have a lot of prospects who do not have licensing with Home Use Rights - not to mention the management and licensing control of home use rights of the OS is not "cloud controlled". (i.e. nothing easily in place that offers the level of control that say
Office 365 Pro Plus - which handles provisioning/activation AND deactivation should someone leave the company).
I find the message hard to explain to customers that home computers running Windows 8 standard clients can't support/run software that Windows 8 Pro clients can. There was a body of messaging that took years to build up about the advantages of domain
joined clients needing to be "Pro or higher" but in this case the message don't ring correct given we are talking about "personal owned" rather than company owned devices.
How do I explain that as far as Windows Intune is concerned that Windows 8 standard computers and iOS tablets are the same?
