Over a week ago I purchased an MSI P35 Platinum. First was an issue with the bios. MSI sent me one to try which gave me access to higher Northbridge voltage settings. I used Set Fsb for the P5K chip but have been emailing abo who came up with a beta for me to try. the problem is last night I let the smoke out of a mosfet and never got to try it. Today I pcked up a Gigabyte P35-DQ6 so I can't test it out. PM me if you're interested. :)
I had this MSI mobo too, it has very strange design errors, with dividers, with OC in BIOS, i sent it back to MSI, this mobo is unusable crap!
OBR: The bios definately needed alot of work. Dividers for ram had been a joke. The beta bios I recieved from them helped in a way, possibley. I was able to set the chipset to 1.65v but there was still a hole from 1.45-1.5. None of the settings would work. 1.65 may have worked on the original bios.
Ouch... sounds like msi are going down their usual route
Thanks for letting us know that MSI is crap, I see it is one of the cheapest P35 boards
You mean setfsb for dq6? I am using clockgen with ds3r using 9plrs509 pll, maybe it works with dq6 too
Anyone can help me with Chipset installation for this mobo ?
I still get this stupid error..
Kiwi: Well I will need one for the dq6 so I will give it a go thanks. Read your thread BTW nice work. :up: I was posting because I have a beta Set Fsb that has been made by abo but I can't test it. :(
Alex: Do you have a translation of the error? It is XP you are installing on correct? I used XP and don't remember any issues installing drivers. :(
i'll try to re-install XP using a different CD , may be my actual copy is crappy.
Later ...
And the :oscar: goes .... to MSI!!!!!
! I have very cheap MSI P35 Neo, and this is really GREAT "Bearlake" mobo with no problems like on P35 Platinum!
Great stability, good OC, very good board for that price! I think Platinum has some design errors, because now we have Platinum rev 2.0! on market, and i had rev 1.0!
GB also has EasyTune that always works :)
OBR: Is it P35 NEO-F? What are max voltages for cpu/ram/nb?
All voltages was enough for very good OC, but i am now on Gigabyte P35-DQ6 and cant to look at MSI´s BIOS now ...
Yes it is Neo-F but "F" is erased from box ...

Do you test msi p35 neo with E2260, E2140?
I asking, beacuse i have problem with my E2160 on mis p35 neo f. OC this cpu is full stable on 2700Mhz (9x300), ddr2 goes to 900Mhz. Problem is, when I oc on 3000Mhz and more.
My E2160 is full stable on 3400Mhz - testing orthos cpu strees, but when i turn on blend strees RAM - 2sec and reset system.
For ex.: 3000Mhz (9x333) ram 1:1 (667), blend 2sec=reset,
ram (800), blend 2sec=reset, ram (900), blend 2sec=reset.
More volts don't help.
My ddr2 g.skill nq max oc 1000mhz - testing on asus p5b deluxe.
thats a shame. i the MSI p35 sure looks like a nice board appreance wise. But looks arnt everything, glad i didnt get one.
my new test:
beta bios 1.24
multiplier 8
core clock 3200Mhz, ddr2 1:1.5 1066 (team xtreme) blend strees ok
But only 1:1.5 works good :(
thx 4 the info
will you get a setfsb for the gigabyte board? also you have P35T DQ6 with DDR3 support?
