Are you sure you don't have the overclocking option set to "Auto". I haven't had first hand experience with this MSI board just yet, but most BIOS want you to turn on overclocking or voltage control by default.

[demonkevy666]

Almost as good as the real thing but not quite

ATI is going bonkers I think now they'll support tri and possibly quad 4890's, but not tri or quad 4770.

[XRogerX]

Inever seen a M/B with this many options in one board lol

but i dont know what im doing to it, and i dont want to blow

anytrhing lol ,if if someone that has this board that can help me

i would be greatful, and im running on Air only and my PC is

in my Spec's

Thanks Roger

Patience, will get to it soon, trying to sort things out for gigabyte users. Might want to refer here for now........Tony has alot more experience with this board than I do.

[XRogerX]

ok Chew np ,and just to update my problem lol

i cant even lower my muti for the CPU cause it wont boot lol

i went from 16x to 15.5x and doesnt boot lol strange

i went from 16x to 16.5x and doesnt boot

but if i only do the fsb 200 to 250 ITS GOES TO 4Ghz lol

and Vcore 1.45 but theres where it get starnge i do SPI

and i get an error that says

NOT EXACT Round

so i wait little longer dont want to kill nothing lol

[Tony]

Go grab the 136 beta I listed above and flash it...


Test again

[XRogerX]

wow a flash lol

oh ok i thought you posted that for someone else lol

[xPliziT]

well i hope it works for you xrogerx.

I flashed from 1.2 to 136beta and my gd70 seems to be toast now.

The last thing i remember was the message "romid dismatch force flash", and i figured well its a beta bios so this might be normal and the filename matched with the older ones too.

So i guess i am screwed now.

[DistortioniZm]

Sorry to here about the problems with bios and all, I hope everyone here gets things worked out. I flashed to 1.2 as soon as I booted it up and just left it alone. I hosed my raid 0 once trying to get my memory running decent, but oh well, at least now I now Here are some of my results, being somewhat of a novice at overclocking. Any suggestions would be welcome.

it is the exact file i flashed to mine without issue
board has an spi port so its easy to flash it again...ask your local store if the have an spi flasher

[XRogerX]

Well i flashed it to the 136beta and it seems to have

fixed my problem with not raising the muti so right

now im @ 3.5Ghz with stock voltage and muti @ 17.5

and stable with Prime95 and ohh ya so far it still running

SPI without any problems

[shadow_419]

Well ups just delivered my "open box" board. I think I just hit the lottery because this one has never been opened. Everything was still sealed and still unused.

[shadow_419]

Stable at stock settings with a x3 720 be and 4gb of g.skill pi 7-7-7-18 @ 1.6v ram. Anyone try that modded bios yet? I'd like to try and unlock the 4th core if possible, although I've noticed a nice difference coming from a opty 165 clocked @ 2.9 on an Ultra-D.

[PoppaGeek]

and it on auto but its greyed out there alot in there that i cant even touch

cause it greyed out am i missing something here?

Highlight greyed item and hit enter, option list should come up.

I'm pretty sure those are always greyed out, if you press + or - while the field is highlighted it should change from "auto" to a number. Hitting enter doesnt open a submenu to select a voltage. You just have to hit + or - a lot to set it to where you would like.

[XRogerX]

yes you both right , wow this is really diffrent

from the other M/B i had lol

[Someguy1982]

Glad it worked out XRogerX, When I get more time I'm gonna flash to the 136Beta and hopefully it resolves my multiplier issue as well.

[XRogerX]

ahhh the muti issues, i let you one thing that was a headache thats for sure im glad i have that Bios now

[Someguy1982]

Yeah I can't even set the CPU Multi to 14X, moving it from "auto" to "anything else" causes it to not POST, unless I remove my raid controller. Doesnt make sense to me but I tried it a couple times to be sure. I have just been overclocking it via AOD for the time being. I'd prefer to OC with BIOS, but not much I can do at the moment about it.

Except hope 136beta fixes it!

[XRogerX]

speaking of Raid im thikning of doing that with this board

but im not sure how to do it

Your right my bad, went into bios and checked.
