apparently there is a newer beta bios 715, if anoyne has it already please post a link!
So as it stands the board doesnt let you use the multi up/down at all? Anyone know if thats gonna change or thats how they plan on keeping it....I saw that it was hidden in there but why not enabled.
Yeah I just read that. If anyone gets it, upload it here.
I have the 715 bios file which tech support gave me. How to I upload it.
Here is screen shot of extracted files.

I can change multi, but I have ES CPU.Quote:

Ok hopefully I did this right.

Let us know how this one is as Im not being the ginni pig on this one.
You did it perfectly. I had to wait 59 seconds, but WELL WORTH IT!Quote:

You got a good start results.....and thanks for your bios share....:toast:
What a night I am having. I have just broken 400FSB *I think* and we have a new BIOS to try out over the weekend. Good things tonight!
Let me give all you MSI mobo owners a key piece of advice. The reason I broke 400FSB was because of adding a 70mm fan to my Thermalright northbridge cooler. This northbridge gets HOT and it need an aftermarket heatsink along wiht a 60-70mm fan mounted on it as well.
Tell us how 715 is :).
I got E6700ES CPU and still no multi change in BIOS.... nothing different from visual sight of view...

Well the 975XBX wouldn't also, but I wonder what's the big deal to enable the multi control for multies between 6x and default....
Just a quick question. I've managed to get my FSB up to 400Mhz FSB without a BIOS update. The only thing i miss is NCQ (I have to use IDE mode on my NCQ capable SATAII drives) really and i've heard a few people say that the BETA BIOS solves some issue with this? Is it true? I dont want to flash if i dont have to :).
Can somebody upload this to another site? Rapidshare doesn't work for me.Quote:

Just tested my MSI for MAX FSB with E6400... around 420MHz with 1.7V PCIe/MCH Votage...
What is causing your northbridge to get hot? PCI-E voltage. What do you have that set at? Mine is not hot at all, at 1.65

When will 0714 be official ?
BTY, I'm not doing too bad with my v7.0 bios.:)
At 1.6v my 975x chip shows 48c (temp probe) while gaming. This is with a small fan on it (chip cooler mounted directly on the stock cooler). Without the fan it would be on fire. Maybe some of us are having problems due to high chip temps? I wonder why some have high chip temps and some are low?
I have mine at 1.6V, and I touched it last night after my computer was idle all day and it was very hot at 360 FSB. Anyone have any suggestions for cooling it other than just blowing a fan at it? Are those Zalman fanless NB heatsinks any good? I'm hoping it's just the hot NB that's keeping my clocks lower.Quote:

Well, my discoveries:
Speedstep, C1E, audio and drive A: All set to off/disabled
FSB 1:1
Mem volt 2.1
Mem Manual
PCIe volt: don't know yet, in the beginning i could use Superpi at 355, now it will not even boot at 355, not 340 either. (at 1.5 - 1.75V)
So whatever I try now, I can't overclock, I have tried the org bios, 714 and 715.
What about vcore? Someone on anandtec said 1.45 was a good idea. My cpu has max 39C load, so I could raise it? What is default?
But at org fsb it works to set the CPU:RAM to 1:1.33.
I gonna try to figure this out.
What is hot NB temp? It isn't cool, but it doesn't burn me either.
UPDATE: At FSB 333 and org vcore 3dm05 failed at cpu tests, at 1.45 vcore it passed. I will raise fsb higer and see what happens :- )
Passed at FSB 360 to, and cpu temp is 38C at load.
I ran superpi at FSB 400, PCIe 1.65 and vcore 1.51, 38C load. 3DMark05 crashed.
At PCIe 1.75 i couldn't even boot. So lover PCIe is better, for me. Screens will come later.
SuperPi stable PCIev 1.65, vcore 1.51
400 FSB
3DMark05 stable PCIev 1.65, vcore 1.48
380 FSB
Yeah I have no idea. All I know is that it's not hot anymore after Thermalright HR-05 + AS5 + 70mm fan. I really think people need to re-evaluate their northbridge cooling solution. I don't think its some random problem only I am having.Quote:

Just my observations.
hifiking, two things. What temperature monitoring program is that and please resize your images. I run @ 1600x1200, cant imagine other members.
I only have mspaint, I can link them instead.Quote:

And I use the biggest aircooler I've ever seen. I recived it as a replacement for a boxed Intel PM fan that was lost. Thermaltake Silent Tower
