X58 Pro IOH 77*c

I have a problem. By ues of the overcloaking center, i have seen that my IOH temp is at 77 degress celcius, which troubles me, especially since i have no idea of what IOH is.. so my questions is, what excactly is IOH and how can cool it, to a more toralable temp??? I have seen some posts about a chipset cooler, but i would pefer not buying new hardware...
other temps is 
The cpu is at 21*c
The system temp is at 41*c
The gpu is at 43*C

Sorry if this reads a a rant but...
I think I've been one of the lucky ones... mine peaks ≈65°~70°C but there certainly has been a lot of threads regarding this subject! As denoted in previous posting by others, MSI has dropped the ball on cooling of the IOH. It's especially cruel that their flagship/premium board - the Ellipse with all that shiny copper (and a price to match) is susceptible to the same problems the X58 Platinum suffers with a lesser heatsink. I don't know how many calls MSI support gets from worried customers regarding these high temperatures but I bet the numbers would be substantial. I haven't failed to noticed from the sneak pics of the Ellipse Plus that they have altered the heatsink design but what about all the other users who have bought before the plus hits the market?
Most board manufacturers have gone the ""passive" route and expect the processor's fan stand up and take on the cooling task. This might be fine for people with a standard top-down type fan (a-la stock HSF) but many choose to install a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, Noctua NH-U12P, Coolermaster V8 or another that has the fan(s) pushing the air horizontally. With this type of HSF configuration or when watercooling the CPU, the airflow the motherboard designers were obviously counting on is either minimal or nil! To further rub salt into the wound, no provision has been thought of as to how people can cool the IOH without resorting to jerry-rigging a fan somewhere (zip-ties?) or watercooling the whole area. Now, if MSI has decided that the Plus board warranted a new IOH heatsink design, they must therefore acknowledge that they got it wrong on their first generation boards (Platinum & Ellicipse). Thinking back to the nForce 680/780/790 boards; manufacturers added (or supplied as an accessory) a fan to help keep the chipset cool. Shouldn't these (X58 based) boards be afforded equal treatment?
Anyway, back to burping and leak testing my ol' FX-60 equipped DFI NF4 eXpert water loop... mind you; it does have a fan on the chipset

  • X58 Pro - IOH Temperature - HELP! Bios?

    Hello everyone... well after a number of years with a "regular" computer.... I have jumped back into an old hobby and bought an I-BuyPower PC as follows:
    Processor & Memory:   Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 920 (2.66GHz) 8MB Intel Smart Cache   6GB DDR3-1333 memory (2GB x 3) Triple ChannelMotherboard:   Intel X58 chipset mainboard Drives:500GB (7,200 RPM) SATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive 22x max DVD±RW drive with Double Layer SupportGraphics:   1GB NVIDIA® GeForce® 9400 GT graphics 1 x DVI, 1 x S-Video, 1 x VGA out   No monitor includedCommunications: Gigabit Ethernet LAN - 650 Watt Power Supply - Front fan, side 120 fan, rear 120 fan....
    The Board is an MSI X-58 Pro...
    After startup and install of basic software, I ran the Overclock software and noticed my IOH Temp is 72 at idle... CPU is only 28....
    SOOOO....
    1. Can someone tell me the "range" that each of the three temperatures should be....
    2. Would flashing the BIOS help drop the IOH Temperature?  Is it a bug? 
    My sincere thanks in advance for any help!!!!

    Two of the X58 Pro's I've helped build were also 72c at idle. In retrospect, resetting the heatsinks probably wasn't necessary, but did it anyway. If you decide to do that, & don't want to re-use the stock plastic pins, nylon (thermal) bolts, washers, & nuts can be obtained from a few different sources. Hardware manufacturers or stores, hobby shops that cater to remote control aircraft etc. As deep33 suggested, the spot cooler is a good way to go too.
    The heatsink hole size is 1/8" .125 U.S., 3.18mm. Length of about 1/2" (1cm?) does nicely. Depends on the height of the standoffs.
    Edit: The hardware size I used is #4-40, 1/2" in length. (3mmx1cm? metric?)

  • Where can I get an original x58 Pro-E IOH chipset heatsink assy?

    Recently built an i7 gaming rig and like everyone else had high nb temps which I'm not very keen on.
    I had a Thermalright HR-05 from another build (took it out of my old system and replaced it with the original HS and sold that PC leaving me with it) that I'll use on the nb, but covering the sb will be difficult since I'm running 2 4870 cards in the pci-e slots, covering the sb and not being able to move the cards to free space above it. I don't really want to get something too fancy for the sb (the sli version of the nb cooler) as it doesn't seem to get hot.
    I was thinking along the lines of using the HR-05 for the nb, cutting up the heat-pipe of the original chip-set HS and just using it on the sb as temps and clearance will be fine. Problem of course is if ever need to rma the board, I'm screwed. I've read all the posts about issues with the hot IOH temps and solutions, and this is the way I'll think I'll go.
    Currently my temps are up around 90 on load, and that's in winter! It's around 10 C in my room right now and when summer comes around with 30 C that's gonna shoot up!
    Long story short, does anybody know where I can get an original X58 Pro-E IOH heatsink assy that I can keep safe in case I need it (touch wood) 

    I have thought about that, saw it under some suggestions to fix high temps. But they have that shoved toward the NB. My HR-05 will take care of the NB (plus some serious OC in sumemr which i want to do) I just need a HS for the southbridge , and it seems that the only HS that has enough clearance and fits into the MB with long cards in xfire or sli is the original SB HS, which leaves me wanting to cut the orginal HS up to reuse on the SB and finding another complete HS just in case.

  • X58 Pro a Lemon? IOH cooling insufficient.

    Is the X58 Pro motherboard a Lemon?  The x58 cooling solution on the board is inadequate by far.  Very soon, MSI will introduce a replacement board called the X58 Pro-E which has a different heat sync on the Dr. MOS and X58 chipset.  They will no doubt ignore all of us with the Lemon.  Which is totally unacceptable and enough to make me not want buy any MSI products ever in the future!
    The only solution to cooling your IOH on the X58 Pro is to replace the useless MSI heat sync or run a small fast fan on to them. 
    Here are the possibilities;
    1) with stock cooler IOH is 72C at idle
    2) Running a 40mm 4000RPM fan ($12.00) directly onto the chips set from above the chipset, the IOH drops to 55C.
    3) Replacing the sock solution with 2 Thermalright HR-05-IFX (23.00 each) the IOH drops to 38C*
    *note: In my Antec Sonata case the HR-05-IFX are directly in the path of the 120mm fan exhaust that is mounted to the hard drive cage. This fan, draws air through the bottom of the case, over the hard drives and out over the motherboard.  This is a Noctuna 120M fan that is running at 900 RMP (Ultra Quiet Mode).  This fan blows directly onto the HR-05-IFX  and helps dissipate the heat build up on the fins of the HR-05-IFX.  With this fan turned off, the IOH temp starts out at 39C but quickly climbs into the 45C range with heavy use.
    Using the 3rd solution, I can go up to a 190 MHz  base CPU clock rate which makes the 2.6GHz i970 a  3.8Ghz CPU.  The max I can go with memory is 1500MHz using OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB)  rated at 1600 (OCZ3G1600LV6GK). Anything above that the board is not stable.  At a base clock of 210 MHz, the board hangs-up in boot.  It goes through the BIOS POS T and the screen says "WAIT..." and nothing happens.
    I'm using BIOS 7.3.  see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126768.0 
    by the way, be careful when you remove the stock IOH cooler.  Mine was pretty much stuck to the board.  I had to yank it off with a set of pliers.  Upon taking it off, part of the problem was clearly apparent.  There was enough silicon grease (or should I say hardened cement) to drown an elephant.   The grease must be the cheapest kind you can find because it had caked up into a thick layer of plastic and I had to scrape off heavy scabs.  I wish I had taken a picture.
    Once you do this upgrade, all of us should send the $50 bill to MSI.  They should give all of us MSI X58 Pro uses a $50 rebate for selling us a Lemon.

    So far, not any X58 Pro boards have burned up an X58 (IOH) that I've read about. 72c is well below the 100c limit, so those that choose not to redo the heatsinks need not panic as long as sustained full loads are below 100c.
    Out of the 3 X58 Pros I've helped build, no 'Lemons' noted among them. Just started build #4. I would say your 3.8 on the CPU & 1500 on the mem. is pretty decent. The CPU only natively supports 800/1066 memory, so what's the complaint? 1333 & 1600 are 'OC' speeds. Your mem. sticks may be rated 1600, but doubt they are chipped more than 1333.
    What was your specific system issue that required a bios update?
    Is the X58 Pro-E a 'replacement' board as you call it, or a new introduction board to the line-up? Have you been ignored so far over your 'self proclaimed' lemon?

  • IOH temps higher after new CPU cooler on my X58 Pro

    Hi
    I have a X58 Pro with 12GB OCZ Platinum 1333 RAM + i7 920 + Antec EA500W. The stock cooler was making too much noise so I installed a new Thermaltake ISG 300 cooler. My IOH temps jumped from 57 to 82C on idle. I have an Antec Solo case which should have good airflow. Nothing else changed ....
    thanks
    -D

    I have seen other boards with similar big coolers (albeit from other companies like Zalman) but the IOH wasnt this hot. I will definitely try the Spotcool and see if that works. My goal was to simply get rid of the loud noise of the stock cooler.
    Quote from: Henry on 01-December-09, 11:35:59
    Looking at other manufacturers X58 boards those heat sinks don't appear to be much different so how is it that MSI is the only one you need to feel that way. You make a modification then you need to think about the other things that mod may have an effect on. There are other coolers that would have done the job without affecting designed airflow by much if any. If you change the designed airflow characteristics then you must compensate for that. In that case an Antec Spotcool would do it.

  • X58 PRO NO BOOT AFTER IOH HEAT FIX.

    Hello everyone, I have a strange problem with my x58 platinum setup after fixing the heat issue with the ioh.
    My board says ms 7522 rev 3.1. My booklet and package says x58 pro but greenpower says platinum.
    Running core i7 920 with 3 gigs of ocz 1066 ddr3 all in black slots, vista home premium sp1, msi ati 3450 hd graphics card, thermaltake v1 cooler, antec 680w iceburg psu,3x320 seagate barracuda 7200.11 harddrives,nzxt
    sentry 5 fan cooler control and lg dvd/lightscribe writer.
    I had ioh idle temps in the 70c range and near 80c at load so I read the threads in the forum and carefully removed
    the heatsinks. cleaned off the hard white and dry tmi. Reapplied correct thermal compound. Plugged everything back in and when I turned it on all I got was a quick hdd light blink and no post,no display. I might have mixed up the order of the sata drives on the board so i've tried to switch them all to other ports and to no avail.
    I cleared cmos with power off and unplugged several times with each sata port change and it's the same thing.
    Power on just the fans and all leds come on but no hdd light and no boot. Leds on my graphics card slot are on and the cpu leds are all on and green light on board is on. Maybee it's my boot sequence from the drives that are
    out of order. The system was a little touchy but for the most part stable and working fine before fixed the ioh.
    I am an electronics guy and repair amplifiers and radios and I deal with Blown voltage regulators and output chips
    all the time so I'm not unfamilliar with this kind of repair. I wore a static strap and had the board on a non conductive surface. Sorry so long but I wanted to give as much info as poss. Thanks in advance for the advice.
     

    Well, tried all sata combos that I could out of the drives and no results. To answer your question earlier. the black ring is in tact under the heatsink and I did not see any tim overflow to the surrounding area. Also it doesn't even
    trigger the monitor to come on and no beeps from system speaker. Checked all connections and everything seems to be solid. Is there a way to wipe bios and harrdrives and basically start over? I unplugged all hdds to see if I would get a screen and nothing. I've turned the thing off and on so much in different combos that I'm worried about it totally fragmenting the drives with bad sectors that it wouldn't boot even if I found the right order.
    The way my luck goes I probably fried it. Thanks again.

  • New x58 pro e board: IOH-temperature

    hi,
    i read lots of postings about high IOH-temperatures of the msi x58 pro mainboard.
    does anyone know values of the IOH-temperature of the new released "msi x58 pro e" board?
    they talk about a modified thermal-system, but there seems to be no concrete information about the
    IOH-temperatures...
    bye,
    whoopi

    Quote
    i don't understand why msi didn't fix this problem with the new release...
    What is the 'industry' standard for IOH idle temp? Not asking to stir up an argument, just want an official note or spec from the manufacturer of the chip, Intel, what is an acceptable idle min./max. temp.
    With the 4 Pro boards I've helped build, 1-72c, 1-74c, 1-82c, & 1-86c. We 'reset' all four boards heatsinks, however, the 72c & 74c probably wasn't necessary. My personal Eclipse Plus runs 74c, & unless it increases a significant amount over time, I will be leaving it alone. (All temps listed were idle). None of them exceeded 10c over idle at full load, so technically, even the 86c +10c was still within spec.
    For a look at what Intel does say, take a peek at the links in post; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127551.0
    Added: After two weeks runtime, the IOH idle temp 'dropped' from 74c to 64c. No additional fans or modifications were performed.

  • X58 pro-e trying to understand a few things please help me out.

    first of all hi 
    im trying to overclock my cpu to a nice place and in my mind its 4ghz  and in my mind its like use 22X200=4ghz=happy me
    now realty is when i do that and leave every thing on auto the MB puts too much volts on the V.core like 1.4+ and thats bad for me i do have a good cooler thermaltake frio  220w
    so i tried lowering Blck and stuff and i googled stuff and ended up with a good 21X175 with 0 on the V.core only to download a program named cpu-tweaker and nehalemcalc so bare with me the question is coming  so i setup the nehalemcalc to 225X21 qpi multi X18 Uncore multi X12 mem multi X6
    only to get a warning saying (instability may occur when QPI clock is greater than 4000MHz) and it got me wondering how much did i set my Multi`s so i went and checked but i did not find them in the cell menu so i opened the cop-twaeker   to look some stuff up  and i found
    21X175=good i put that there
    7x7x7x19=ram timing good too i put them my self
    Uncore X16= bad read under
    QPI X18= good after i read in 4.8 mode its set to X18
    RAM X3 = i guess its good i put it there too
    so i opened up the nehalemcalc 1.3 and used these numbers i found only to read some thing i did not find in cell menu mem multi witch was 6 as minimal
    number in the program so whats wrong here how come its giving me deferent numbers in the 2 programs and in cpu-z its showing FSB:Dram  2:6
    so where do i find adjust that ratio found in the cpu-z or the uncore multi for that matter !
    sorry i know its crazy but i really think  thats why i cant go pass the 4Ghz dream BTW i need to add Volts to the cpu as from 3.8  :( so it just might help
    out to know every thing to know about this motherboard
    my system specc`s are :
    core i7 920 d0
    X58 pro-e
    gtx260
    1TBx2 wd
    2x3 transcend jetram 1333

    custom cooler for the IOH(cheap fan on the heatsink :P )

    Quote from: HU16E on 10-March-11, 08:41:31
    Everything should be fine as long as the recommended max. voltages aren't exceeded. Lots of trial & error involved, within safe limits of course.
    Added:I hope that 4.00 is the CPU speed & not the volts applied.
      stop loling @ me  come please i have a dead time on the rams if i dont like them i can return them 
    so it is the cpu speed the 4k yes so pleaseeeeeee tell me what kind of volts i should use with this setup lets say 3.8ghz and i know every cpu has its own vlots and all but i need like a refrance that i can work on lets say 3.8ghz needs 1.2v on the v,core 1.5v on ram 1.2 on qpi and so on .. so for 4ghz i need 1.3v,ram1.5,qpi...... some thing easy like that    and if it works i will  for you sir 

  • Quick Short Test & Review of X58 PRO-E

    Here is an upgrade version to the entry level X58PRO motherboard that MSI has to offer before. Model name is “X58PRO-E” and this was introduced to solve the High IOH Temp that other users encountered before with the X58 Pro. The chipset & VRM heatsinks are now screwed on the board thus making a good contact for better & fast heat dissipation. Don’t get worried  also for the price because this would be still around 10k PHP and if paired with a good i7 920 processor (priced around 13-14k PHP) you will own a system which would be great for video editing, graphics processing & gaming as well (SLI or Crossfire can be done on this motherboard ^^ ). On the other hand, if you are an overclocker like me. It is very easy for the board to overclock the i7 920 to 4ghz at a minimal voltage increase and few bios tweaking.
    So here is a shot of the box and its contents
    •Four Sata Cables
    •One IDE Cable
    •Two Molex to SATA power Adapters
    •1x Cross Fire Bridge
    •Front Panel header labels

    I was able to get a good bclock 222 also with the i7 920 C0 I have. I guess if I used a D0 stepping instead , I can push the bclock higher.
    Final Thoughts & Conclusion
    I was very impressed on the capabilities of this entry level X58 motherboard can do. A few tweaks on the cell menu I was able to get high memory clocks and all were stable. You would also notice on one of my shots running the memory @ 2100mhz, my uncore ratio turned to a high of 4200mhz speed. All of these were done all on air. 
    Pros :
    - Cheap Entry level X58 Board
    - Easy to overclock
    - Support SLI and Crossfire
    - No issue on Bigger aftermarket CPU cooler
    - 90 degrees placement of SATA & IDE ports
    Cons :
    - No SLI Bridge included in the Box

    I wish mine were that low...  I just built a machine with the X58 Pro-E, all stock, no overclock.  Mine idled at around 80c.  I removed the heatsinks, scraped off the pink gummy stuff they used, put on new thermal paste, and reattached using two red fiber washers at each screw to increase the heatsink pressure on the chips.  It now idles at around 66c.  It is much better, but still not near the 50c that you're seeing.  I wonder why?  My case is an Antec Nine Hundred Two, with great airflow.  I also moved my video card down a slot so the cips weren't covered.
    Can someone else using the X58Pro-E board post their IOH temps as I want to change out my X58 Pro board before summer arrives.
    I am not prepared to attempt to remove the heat sink and if other people are still getting 80c IOH temps, which is what I am getting and it is winter here at the moment, then it will be a waste of time me paying to have my board replaced.

  • MSI X58 Pro Overlocking and Voltages

    Hi guys new here in the forums i would like to seek assistance or some bios pics in overclocking Intel Core i7 920/MSI x58 Pro 3.2GHz-3.8GHz. what would be the correct voltage for the ICH and IOH(on default values and for the above-mentioned speeds). your help is much appreciated thanks in advance

    Disable Spread Spectrum & Extreme Memory Profile in bios Cell Menu. Disable Overspeed Protection in bios Advance Bios Features-CPU Features. Since RAM speed increase with base clock increases, you will have to 'experiment again to get the RAM stable. Set Mem. Ratio to 5, Uncore Ratio to 12, adjust DRAM,  voltage & timings accordingly, set base clock to 166 or 167, leave all voltages (other than your RAM), on default. This should give you around 1660 RAM speed & 3.33G's, with Turbo, around 3.5G's .

  • X58 Pro freezes machine

    I recently bought an X58 Pro mb on newegg, along with a i7 920 CPU, Corsair 3x2gb kit (recommended for this mb from Corsair's website), and a Sapphire Radeon 4870 HD (1gb model). After putting everything together, it booted up fine and installed Windows just fine. However, the entire system seems to freeze randomly anywhere from 5min to 3 days after it's turned on. By freezing, I mean that the mouse/keyboard freezes and even the clock; the only way around it is to hard boot. I'm not seeing anything in event viewer other than the last restart was unexpected. Other weird things that have happened although not as frequently: machine freezes and the image on the screen gets distorted, system reboots on its own.
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    1. Called up Corsair to see what they recommend as far as settings. They told me that all I needed to do was Load Fail-safe Defaults, and then make sure that XMP was enabled (keep everything as default/auto). That fixed the issue for about 2 days, until it froze again.
    2. Ran Microsoft Memory Diagnostics and it's showing that all RAM is good. The tests took about 3 hours to complete and the machine never froze/locked up during that time.
    3. Contacted MSI and they suggested to replace the power supply. I had a 550watt PS and replaced it with a 585watt PS that I knew was good (SLI supported). Still had instability issues.
    My next step is to RMA the mb and video card with Newegg, but thought I'd post this to see if there is anything else I can try before doing that.

    Quote
    Corsair said that setting the Failsafe Defaults and setting XMP to enabled should work.
    As I said before, XMP Settings (DDR3-1600/CL8) are overclocking settings, not default settings.  Corsair does not (actually cannot) reallly guarantee that these settings are stable.  To point that out, I quoted the standard note that Corsair has put into the datasheet for your modules.
    The native settings (industry standard settings) for your modules are DDR3-1333 @9-9-9-24 @1.5 +/- 0.075V.  I already provided you with a link to the datasheet which lists these parameters. That is why I suggested to use these.  Have you tried these settings yet?
    Quote
    It seems like the BIOS settings for their RAM is a trade secret and heavily guarded
    Not really.  They are in the datasheet.
    If the DDR3-1333 settings do not change anything, reduce the memory clock speed to DDR3-1066.  That is the maximum clock speed the memory controller of your processor natively supports (according to Intel Specifications).
    Please keep Spread Spectrum disabled at all times.
    Quote
    Does anyone know what settings in the BIOS I have to set so the RAM runs at 1.5v?
    The JEDEC Standard SPD Settings for your memory modules are in the Corsair Datasheet. I have already pointed them out twice.
    Quote
    Also I've noticed that the IOH temperature has been running around 60 - 70 degrees C.
    The maximum allowable temperature for the IOH is around 100°C (according to Intel Specs).  As long as the temperature stays below that value, there should be no functional issues.  To double check:  Point an extra fan to the IOH heatsink to provide additional cooling and see if that changes anything.
    One more thing:
    What is your current BIOS Version?

  • 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?

    What are the error codes?

    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.

  • 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

    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

    Hello. Starting about 1 month ago I've been experiencing this issue. I can be just cruising the internet watching youtube video and listening to music then the computer will freeze and this loud screeching sound would come out of my headphones (and scare the crap out of me). This issue never occurred while I was playing any PC games until recently.
    Yesterday I was fed up with the issue so I pulled open the case and cleaned every fan out (which I do every couple of weeks). Now the issue seems to be occurring while playing video games or listening to music. All the fans appear to be functioning properly and I don't believe it could be heat related because I have the Antec 1200 case which has 6 case fans. I've run PC Wizard 2009 and SystemFAN while playing some games and none of the temperatures I saw look too extreme.
    So I'm suspecting it could be the RAM, soundcard, PSU, or motherboard but could use some more assistance before I start RMAing it.

    I'd be inclined to blame the Creative drivers for your sound card first. Try updating (or if necessary, downgrade) the drivers and see if it makes any difference.
    I actually pulled out the sound card an hour or so ago and removed the drivers. I'm running on onboard audio and the system just randomly restarted while I was talking to people on Ventrilo.

  • Building new system, MSI X58 Pro-E, i7 920, GTX 295, 6gb, Thermalright e-120

    Hello, I was hoping for some advice on this rig, to overclock or not, etc; Im a bug gamer, so its really about gaming to the max 1st,
    Heres the brand new parts;
    MSI X58 Pro-E (In the box, just arrived, do not know bios yet)
    i7 920
    Patriot Extreme Viper PVT36G1600ELK 6GB DDR3 9-9-9-24
    eVGA GTX295 1792mb CO-OP edition
    Thermalright extreme e-120 cpu cooler (Jesus that thing is huge)
    Im going to re-use this stuff:
    2x500gb seagate HDD sata raid 0 for performance
    Antec 900 case Lots of fans...nice
    DVD RW
    Corsair TX750W Says 60A on a single +12v rail (I think its good, only @ a year or so old)
    SB X-FI Fatality gamer sound card
    So, basically should I look to OC this setup a bit? maybe to like 3 GHz or so? If so, whats the "safest" method to OC? I have an excellent cpu cooler and a case that has a ton of fans in it so hopefully I should be good for cooling.
    Do I just OC the CPU? Will the memory run at its top speeds with this chip? or do I need to do something for the memory also, I recally for some reason on my current PC with a 780i SLI evga mobo I had to set the ram timins manually, they were never picked up properly on "auto", will I have that also on the MSI board?
    I hope Ive provided enough information to get started.
    Thank you for any help!
    Oh, I plan to build this baby the following weekend as I am working the next 2 weeks straight...meh

    Yes, why not?
    Do not be aiming for 3 GHz, you can run that on stock voltage.  4 GHz is more within the grasp of the TRUE 120.

    There's only one way to overclock - overclock...   There is no safe way of doing it...

    The only way you can overclock a CPU without overclocking anything else is with an extreme edition CPU.  (The i7 965, for example.)  It's overclocked by raising the CPU multiplier, not the baseclock frequency.
    With regular CPUs, you overclock the baseclock, which overclocks the CPU core, CPU uncore, memory, and QPI frequency.

    Extremely doubtful.
    I hope I've answered your questions.   I can be more thorough if you wish to know more.  Of course, Google can tell you more than I ever could.
