MSI P35 Neo2 *First look i think*

[clon22]

Hi, I am also owner this mobo.
First, i'm sorry but my english isn't so good because i'm from Poland.

I can do with this mobo fsb 550 MHz at multiplier 6x stable in SuperPI 32M.
Unfortunately above 520 I have huge performance fall even I set h/w jumper up 333. Everest shows me memory read 31xx MB/s instead about 9xxx MB/s. :/
Only method to gain good performance is to boot from <520 and use SetFSB.
In my case it demands VNB above 1.525v.



I have stability problems with high Vcore at so high fsb. I think that it's mobo fault. Maybe some NB core vmod could solve this problem?

Did anybody test settings available in power user mode? Does it improve stability or perfomance in superpi/syntetic benchmarks?

Wow, very nice fsb!
Can't wait for weekend to come,
I'll go play with mine.

How do you update the bios? I can but will not what so ever put it online. It's benching unit only so a usb flash drive is all i have

I usually use floppy to flash :p

[NightRaven]

hmmm i have a piece here to test too so probably when i;'m done with the benches we can compare scores and see if they are similiar.. or different maybe due to bios etc.

[clon22]

can you guys do 32M runs at 3.6GHz with the best RAM (speed or timings) and largesys cache tweak

Hmm... found my previous one on my E4300.
I dunno how to tweak spi,
only set affinity and realtime thats all.
Tonight i'll try on my 6600.

Not too bad eh for my first. Just glad i can help here with it!

I have an Olympus E-500 and a ton of kit coming this Saturday if postman is right...



All that is mine on Saturday, whoooo. Currently using a Canon Powershot S2 IS thats been flashed and with a UV hood and lens.

Google needs more info on DRR2 RAM timings and the manual does as well, i am so confused. Guess i will have to play with it and see what works and doesn't! Grr

Thats a nice camera you wont be disappointed!

I set h/w jumper up 333

Hi dude, so are you setting jumpers to 333 and using the BIOS? What do the jumpers do exactly?

I usually use floppy to flash :p

Sold it! I guess USB flash stick will do...so how do it do it?

Thats a nice camera you wont be disappointed!

It's coming tormrow hopefully, whoo!

E6850 is on it's way too!

Jumper change strap (internal chipset timings) for obtaining high fsb. I heard that this helps in overclocking cpu with fsb 266 or 200. Then fsb regulation begins with 333 MHz. In my case (processor with fsb 333) I haven't observed any difference between jumper sat to 200/266/333.

[Pete]

Humm i might have to giver this a go i think before i ship off my 6600 and fit my 6850

[clon22]

The 333mhz jumper setting is juz
underneath your 1st pci-e 16x slot.
Thou, I'm not sure about the usb flash part thingy. :p

Any 3D bench to share?

I just been and got a Asus P5k Deluxe so going to sell this MSI bord now

I find that SuperPI time very worrying for me as my E6600 at 3.6 never gets even close too that, not even at 3.8Ghz... with ram at 900mhz 3-3-3-9 1T on 680i and surely not an a 2Mb cpu

You mean on the 680i or the P35?
I close off all the unwanted programs.
i think there are some amazing tweaks which i dun know how to do.

[Leeghoofd]

I will try those tweaks, never ever was able to reach sub 14 mins with my E6600 (at 3600Mhz) , haven't benched yet on the P35 due to lack of time...either this MSI flies or my boards are sloooooooooooooooooooooooow

Is there a way to fix the "double-boot" issue? OC jumpers are set to 333MHz. At stock everything is fine but for example 420FSB and it double-boots. You restart the computer and it turns off, then on for a split second, then off and then ON.
Also when cold booting.

I have the latest 1.6v BIOS isntalled.
Any fixes out there?

Humm so enter Bios, Cell Menu then just F4...

I Googled MSI Skew and all i saw all the time was . . .

Skew Mode = slower

There is an old English saying as well of , if i can remeber back to when my Grandad use to say it i think it ment Flipping heck or something.

It looks like it's soemthing to do with both cores in that screen as it's listing 0 and 1, if you had a quad in there i guess it might be 0,1,2,3

Skew-whiff is English slang used for describing somthing thats crooked or off-kilter you don't hear it used much anymore

Clock skew is a bit more technical

Holly dead topic resirection.

I do miss this bord, all my ASUS bords have been worthy of nothing but the bin!

[WSX]

I resurrected coz I know your dying to know definition of skew-whiff, long time since I heared that term used,
I remember my driving instructor used to tell me my steering was all skew-whiff, but I still passed the driving test
first time, sorry to hear your asus boards also gone skew-whiff

[philbrown23]

check it out, this is my first time trying to oc this board and it's on air cooling!
