X58 Pro Phase LED Question

Hey all,
I had a question about the CPU Phase LED's that I was hoping someone would be able to answer. As the subject line states, I have the MSI X58 Pro motherboard. The i7 920 is OC'd to 3.96ghz with the usual throttling features disabled in the BIOS. My question relates to the CPU Phase LED's. They were previously all on, no automatic phase switching but I just recently noticed that the left-most (2) LED's are flashing?!?! According to the manual, those are for "Phase 2 Power Mode". The other 3 LED's are lit continuously. What gives? What is that telling me? I thought that I had disabled throttling so they should be on all the time, right? Anybody know why? Thanks for any assistance!

mine's all lit, running at stock speeds... don't have any idea what this "phasing" all about. <a href="http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&lpver=3&ref=11" target="_blank"><img src="http://content.sweetim.com/sim/cpie/emoticons/0002041D.gif" border="0" title="Click to get more." >[/url]

  • MSI X58 Pro: HDD LED does not work for S-ATA drive

    Hi,
    I've got a problem with my brand new MSI X58 Pro: I've got an S-ATA HDD (Samsung 640GB) and an S-ATA DVD drive (Pioneer) installed in a Compucase 6X Miditower. There is NO(!) IDE drive. I don't get the HDD LED to work! I've tried everything including a BIOS update to 7.1 - the LED stays out.
    I found some reports in the internet from people having a similar problem: no HDD LED for S-ATA drive activity.
    Is there anybody else having this problem? Isn't that possible in general? Is that a problem of the board? The HDD drive?
    Greetings,
    Michael

    You are talking about the status LED on your case, right?
    - Is it properly connected to the right pins on the correct header?
    - Double-check for +/- pins and make sure the plug is not connected the wrong way.
    - Make sure, the LED is not defective.
    - Make sure the cables are not defective.
    - Make sure there is no problem with the pin-plug to the board.

  • X58 pro-e voltage question

    hello just got a x58 pro-e mobo
    what to ask a few questions first b4 i start playing around what would you recomment max voltage for the following
    CPU PLL?
    QPI Voltage?
    NB Voltage?
    ICH Voltage?
    atm im at 20x205 4,1ghz , qpi link 3698, uncore 3200, mems running at 1644 6-7-6-18 1N wanted to push the mems to 2000mhz but uncore and qpi would be in the 1:1 ratio so i was wondering if upping the voltage would make it stable so wanted to ask about max voltage first so i can play with it before i start lowering it to find stable voltage thanks

    Since component specs change or are updated with new revisions from time to time, it would be best to look up each components current data sheet for the latest information on max. voltages.

  • MSI X58 Pro X-fire question

    Hi everybody, I have an MSI X58 Pro motherboard. It has 3xPci express slots with a configuration of 16x-16x-4x. My question is, if I have only two cards, can I have them at 16x-N/A-16x?
     In other words my first card has a heatsink which is slightly too big to fit another one on the second slot, so I would need to put it on the third slot, but will it run @ 16x or 4x?
    Thanks in advance

    Quote
    I would need to put it on the third slot, but will it run @ 16x or 4x?
    PCI_E5 slot would run it at 4X. I'm not sure if X-Fire will even run right in that configuration. The 'Important' note at the bottom of page 2-23 (English pdf manual) calls for PCI_E2 & PCI_E4 for X-Fire. You can always give it a try.

  • P55-GD65 Power Phase LED Question

    I had a question regarding both the power phase LEDs and the actual power phases themselves.
    I noticed that the power phase LEDs light up and change according to the currently active power phase for the CPU based upon load using stock settings.
    However, when I applied a mild overclock, increase the bclk from 133 to 160, the power phase LEDs stopped changing. They are all lit all the time. Does this mean the power phase is not changing, so I am losing the power savings benefit? Or is the power phase still dynamic, it just stops registering and reporting with the LEDs?
    With the mild overclock applied and all power phase LEDs lit up, in BIOS under the green powere menu, I can see the efficiency number fluctuating, which makes me think the dynamic power phase is still in effect.
    Does anyone have any insight into this?
    Thanks,

    The interesting thing I noticed, is that apparently APS worked with overclocking enabled in older BIOS versions. I am running BIOS v1.5, I know current is v1.8. Can anyone confirm whether or not APS is enabled with overclocking in BIOS v1.8?
    I do not have MSI Control Center installed, but I will do that as soon as I can to see if I can re-enable the LEDs and check if APS is working or not.
    If APS is working just fine and it is only the LED display that is broken, I have no problem with that. I actually would like the LEDs turned off, but I want to confirm that APS is working before I do.

  • TRUE BLU-RAY AUDIO - X58 Pro-E very important question !

    I have a problem.
    I want to buy a motherboard with X58 Pro-E and build HTPC HD Audio.
    What does this mean "TRUE BLU-RAY AUDIO" ?
    There is no HDMI output, only S/PDIF !!!!!
    - There is no HD audio bitstream (DTS-HD MA/TrueHD) - no HDMI !!!
    - Does not decode HD Audio -> LPCM 7.1 - no HDMI !!!
    - That decodes the HD Audio (7.1) to analog?
    - If only decodes HD from Blu-Ray Stereo (via. SPDIF)?
    What does this mean "TRUE BLU-RAY AUDIO" on MSI motherboard ?
    Regards.
    HerrMan

      >> TRUE BLU-RAY AUDIO <<
    • The loss-less content protection technology with full-rate audio enjoyment from Blue-ray Disc
    • Support for 24-bit / 192kHz sample rate offers high quality digital decoders and speakers
    • support 7.1 channels playback, plus 2 channels of independent stereo sound output (multiple streaming) through the front panel stereo outputs
     There is no HDMI because there is no onboard video. The video card you get would need to have HDMI output.
    LPCM: Linear Pulse Code Modulation. It is an algorithm used to convert analog audio to digital. It gives pure loss less representation of the original analog audio in digital.
    7.1 is the latest in speaker configuration. Mono is one speaker, stereo is two, 5.1 has 5. The problem with 5.1 is it produces angled audio. To get the best out put you have to sit in the center and all speakers have to be placed the right way. 7.1 solves those problems, even if the speakers are not perfectly aligned you still get very good results.
     S/PDIF-out JSP1 on MB connects to video card for HDMI sound.

  • Question regarding all the x58 Pro-e and memory problems

    I've notice a serious amount of issues when it comes to people not seeing all of their RAM or not getting triple-channel status.
    Before I even post my issue, I was wondering if there is a general fix for everyone experiencing these problems, because it seems I'm have the exact same issue as everyone else.

    Oh well. Its basically like I said - its the same problem most other people are having. I have 6 GB of DDR3 RAM but only 4 GB ever shows up. And it shows in Dual channel mode, when everything should be triple channel 3 x 2GB. First, here are the specs for my system, which was just recently purchased.
    Model of the motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E LGA
    Model of the memory: G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit
    Model of the CPU: Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz LGA 1366 130W
    Model of the GPU:  SAPPHIRE TOXIC 100282TXSR Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
    Model of the HDD:  Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
    Model of the PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V
    Type of Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    I have tried everything. I've updated the BIOS, I've tested each stick, I've even RMA'd the board itself, but to no avail. I have 3 sticks of RAM in each of the DIMM_A slots. Each stick is 2 GB each, but the POST never counts more than 4 GBs. I've tried adding in the sticks each one at a time in different slots; in different combinations, but nothing is working. I know the sticks work and I know the board is reading them because they show up in Memory-Z in the BIOS and in fact, in a 3rd party program called Speccy, it shows 6GB! But it still says they're running Dual channel mode.
    Here is the current BIOS I am running as shown in the POST output and model of the memory as shown on the sticker AND the model of the motherboard itself:
    BIOS: A7522IMS V8.10 030910
    RAM MODEL NUMBER: F3-10666CL9T-6GBNQ | DDR3-1333 CL 9-9-9-24 1.5v | PC3-10666 2GBX3 | 10060840076833
    MOBO MODEL NUMBER: MS-7522 | VER: 3.1
    Those are exactly what are printed on the label/sticker letter-for-letter.
    Quote from: HU16E on 04-April-10, 09:18:47
    Buy the correct RAM, don't bend any CPU socket pins, install the sticks in the correct slots, don't buy into the RAM makers claims of 'rated' performance.
    You're either implying that I've incompetently bent a socket pin when I installed the CPU, placed the RAM in DIMM slots they don't belong or need to trash the $200 RAM I've just purchased.
    Ok, assuming that ISN'T the case, what exactly are you suggesting thats supposed to be of help? You say "Buy the correct RAM" but you don't tell me what the 'correct' RAM is.

  • X58 Pro not POSTing correctly

    Hi,
    My new install X58 Pro system powers up OK, all fans running, DVD and HDs spinning up but I get no video output and the machine powers back to standby after about 2-3 minutes.
    A couple of noob questions:
    - For a single video card which PCI-Express should I use (I'm using PCI_E2 - i.e. top X16 one)?
    - Is there a list of any POST codes (beeps etc.) and/or can an Post LED be added (like on the X58 Eclipse)?
    I have tried reseating the RAM (using the black slots), tried with just one stick in A0 and disconnected all but CPU, Keyboard and fans.  Same problem each time - 2-3 minutes of activity without video and then auto-shuts down to standby mode (yellow power light).
    All power connectors on board are being used (8 pin and 24 pin).
    I will try removing the board from the case this evening and running on a cardboard box instead.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    System details are:
    Antec P-180 Case (3X Case Fan)
    OCZ - 750W PSU (Can't remember model but a recent expensive one - $100)
    X58 Pro
    Core i7 920
    OCA Gold 6Gb 3 * 2Gb DDR3 1600
    Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler + 120mm Fan
    eVGA GeForce 8800GTS card

    Hi JustBGood, & welcome to the forum. I didn't see any beep codes in the manual, just the LED Status Indicator section on pages 2-27 & 2-28. The X58 Pro doesn't have the pinheader for attaching the D-LED2. With just one mem. stick in slot A0 (black), & CMOS cleared (with power cord removed), set XMP disabled, Spread Spectrum disabled, Mem. Ratio to 4, Uncore to 8, & retest for boot. Yes, use the PCI-E slot closest to the CPU (PCI_E2) for your graphics card.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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)

  • 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 :

    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

    Hi everyone, I hope you can help me.  I'm new to the custom built PC realm so forgive my ignorance on some of the finer points.  I have searched and can't seem to find, or perhaps understand a solution to this problem I'm having.  So, with the obligatory "please don't hit me" stuff out of the way here's the deal….
    This PC was purchased from ibuypower with a factory 20% overclock.  BSODs have appeared randomly since I unpacked it.  Initially it was thought these screens were due to an unstable overclock, however they have persisted even with optimized defaults enabled.  They usually appear during the first boot of the day, during light duty internet browsing, or doing nothing much at all.  The BSOD has never appeared under a heavy load such as flight sim, photoshop, or lightroom (overclocked or not the PC has performed flawlessly running these programs).  For example I ran flight simulator for three hours the other night at 3.85GHz with my RAM at 1600MHz and it ran beautifully.  As you can see below however (info compiled from the program “whocrashed”) it has happened a ton.   These have occurred pretty equally in OC and default configuration.  I've ran the default win 7 memory diagnostic, LinX, and memtest86+ with no errors found so far.  I hope I have provided enough information for a diagnosis, if most it is useless then I apologize and I will do my best to track down whatever additional info may be required to get to the bottom of this.  Thank you in advance.

    With optimized defaults enabled the DRAM voltage is set to auto and it doesn't appear I can change it..please advise.  Also, the BSODs have gotten much worse now and I haven't changed anything, they now occur at any time.  I've probably gotten six in the past three hours.  I guess the computer knows I have reached out to you guys and it's peeved
    When the OC is enabled (hasn't been for several days now, but BSODs still occured when it was) the DRAM voltage was set to 1.64v per "tech support" they said that setting it to 1.65v would actually be 1.66v (not sure how that is, but that's what they said).
    And to your last question their OC settings were +0.100 on the CPU voltage and 160 on the base clock.

  • MSI X58 Pro - Latest Chipset Driver

    Hi,
    Off and on I get an ATAPI error on Windows 7 x64. I'm running a i7 920 on my MSI X58 Pro (NOT the Pro E version).
    The symptoms are simple, booting into Windows load screen I get my hard drive light lit up non stop and nothing loads. I'm not sure if its trashing as I'm using an SSD. I've run HD Tune to test all my drives are they have reported them to be fine.
    I'll like to update the chipset drivers as a step to solve my problem
    The one on the official page shows:
    Intel 3/4/5 Chipset Drivers Ver: 9.1.2.1008
    Release Date: 2010-07-30
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
    This is the one I am using now.
    I went to Intel's website and found an more updated one:
    Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) Ver: 9.3.0.1019
    Release Date: 2011-11-27
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3061&DwnldID=20775&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Desktop+Chipsets&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+X58+Express+Chipset&lang=eng
    My question is simple: Should I update my drivers to the one on the Intel site or stick with MSI's one?
    Also note that the MSI Pro has been discontinued and I'm not sure if the Pro x58 product page is updated.

    If the updates didn't help, to further assist with troubleshooting, a list of all your systems components will be needed. Don't forget to give details of the RAM & the PSU, especially the amps on the +12V rail(s).
