Yes, PCI-E Voltage in BIOS controls MCH / Chipset Voltage. It doesn't touch the PCI-E voltage. It's just labeled weird.
ok, thanks for clearing that up :D
SXS just curious what temps are you getting at 1.58v idle and load using watercooling?
Crash boom bang.
This morning i tried booting my system and it just gave of a weird BEEP and did nothing. Had the problem yesterday too but a number of reboots fixed that problem (or meerely avoided the problem for time being should i say). Now the system is dead.
Taking out one stick of memory helps getting rid of the BEEP so i guess there is trouble with either the memory or the motherboard and since, when i succeeded in booting, the memory works just fine my best guess is that the board somehow got fried.
E6400@3,2 Ghz:1,45V (400Mhz FSB) : BIOS 7.1 (official)
GEIL HZ@spd settings (4-4-4-8):2,25V
Connect 3D X1800XT (no alteration, no OC)
Powered by a TAGAN 500W PSU.
Since i dont have hardware to pinpoint the problem further i need to make a very good guess here and my guess is the motherboard. Any other suggestions?
can't post now at all with the one stick of memory????
i would clear CMOS and try all the memory slots with just one stick.
Nope. Nothing seem to help. Popped out the battery and reset CMOS but no go. Tried all the memory slots with one stick (tried with both) but nothing seems to help.
I might have pushed the CPU to hard. I went to 1,45V with stock cooler but i've been watching temps and they have been around 65 degrees celsius. And when the system booted it all was fine and dandy so i can't believe it's a CPU failure. Same with mem. I wish i had hardware to test the components. My main theory is that the mainboard somehow got fried but i don't know how that happend. My first theory was with the graphic card since it has been behaving a bit oddly (no screen on windows splash occasionaly) but then taking away one stick of memory seems to have an affect allthough it isn't solving the problem. Gonna test the graphic card in another computer but i don't think it's causing the troubles.
Will this board do 450 FSB?
My frame that holds the CPU to the MB was bent, and that bent the IHS, so I got high temps. After I removed the frame, the temps got way lower. With a extreme thin layer of AS5 I could see the valley in the IHS where the cooler didn't touch.
I have emailed MSI a few times but they insist there is no USB issue. I have a Canon Rebel XT camera and I like to download my pictures directly from the camera via USB cable. I have no problems doing this on my laptop or the onther two desktops at the house, but the 975x would not connect to the camera. Actually it would sporadically connect but crash the computer while downloading photos. After trying many things including BIOS updates (now at 7.16), motherboard resets and even re-installing Windows XP I have found something that works and in my opinion proves there is a BIOS USB support issue.
I went into the BIOS and there are two things in the peripheral section, One Enables/Disables USB support, the other Enables/Disables USB 2.0 Support. Normally I have those both enabled. So... Just for the heck of it I Disabled the USB 2.0 Support and now my camera, CF cards, and USB memory sticks work and don't crash the computer. IOf course you get the message from Windows telling you that Enabling USB 2.0 would speed things up. I haven't tried Disabling the USB Support but Enabling USB 2.0 yet.
I'll let you know.

I have same problem with my Olympus C-2100UZ connected on USB. Sometimes everything works OK, sometimes my PC dies when i try to copy pictures from camera. I have tried many BIOS versions but problem is still here :confused:
I'm going to check this board out tomorrow with a E6400. So PCI-e voltage is the same as vMCH? Does higher vMCH help FSB freq much? What should i expect it to do, around 440 MHz? And there's no way to control real PCI-e voltage on this board..? And, when benching with AGP cards i usually up the AGP freq to 72-75MHz as it gives a little improvement in 3DMark, is it smart to overclock the PCI-e bus a little? To 110MHz or sth like that?
Higher vMCH help You with more FSB, but 440 hmm good luck.Quote:

Yes You can set more MHz on PCI-E freq for benching.
With some of the latest bioses I have been able to reach 400 FSB with PCIev at only 1.5v and RAMv at 2.1 (OCZ needs that).
I have a watercooled NB, don't know if that have anyting to say, but more PCIev doesn't help me reach higher FSB. Vcore is what I need to raise, and at 1.58 vcore i can run 3dmark at FSB 410, but no higher.
Is there possible to disable Eist and C1E on this mobo? (MSI 975X Platinum PowerUP )
Yes, you can disable EIST and C1E in BIOS.
Watercooling the northbridge is the key to this motherboard. I've been stable at 415fsb for over a month without even a reboot! I'm going to try for a little more when the bios finally matures.
well was pushing my rig a bit yesterday and got a clean boot at 400 fsb... then my audio started to glitch in windows after a minute or two so I had to shut her down, just a load scretching sound. any suggestions?
im runnin a e6600 with this board 7.24 bios, a x1900, x-fi extreme music and 2 gigs of corsair 6400 c4. v was at 1.5 and my timings were relaxed a bit.
I got the x1900 and the x-fi music too, and lately I got irq bluescreen (and disturbed sound for a minute before the bluescreen). A friend of mine had to put his x-fi to another slot to get rid of this.Quote:

Still the error comes and when it comes there's no stopping it. I just have to move over to my old computer and wait. I HATE WAITING :P.
This error is just... weird. When i can boot everything works flawlessly but once i get the error it refuses to go away. Could be CPU, motherboard, memory or just about anything but the beep indicates that there is a problem with the memory. Removing one stick of memory get's rid of the beep but it still wont boot.
Next time it boots i will keep 266 FSB and run at default just to see if that works. But i probably have to wait at least 12 hours until i can do that :mad:.
Will it be a new bios out which fix these timings, and so forth?
:)
Does this board have any issues with S3 standby?
Does everyone have an issue with USB 2.0 devices with this board?
I got the board now, and i can't go over 380MHz FSB. No matter what voltages i run, I've tried several beta bioses and they don't help. I got a E6400 with a Tt Mini Typhoon cooler and OCZ 6400 Gold memory. I guess my mobo doesn't like OCZ right? I think I'll sell it and get a P5B vanilla.
Wow, I havn't been on this forum for a while.
Someone found vmod's to this card ?
