Official MSI P7N Diamond (780i) Discussion/Review/Overclock/Guide/BIOS Thread

An update. Right now it seems that I'm stuck at +.225v for 3.6ghz stability. NB at 1.425v, GTL Ref at 60, and FSB Term at 25 (all other settings auto) are the most stable settings I've found for +.225v, but it's not perfect. Lowering GTL Ref to 55 causes the system to reboot about 6-8 minutes into OCCT, while going back up to 65 causes the system to freeze within two minutes. GTL Ref set to auto causes my system to freeze within 11 minutes of the test.

Interestingly, increasing FSB Term to 35 and/or lowering NB voltage to 1.4v will prevent Windows from booting, while a combination of 1.425v on the NB and 25 on the FSB Term voltage has been rock stable (passes OCCT NB / RAM test continuously, regardless of vCore.)

here is a pic,,tellme what ya think also i did register with msi but i cannot find were to download beta bios,s

Wolf,

Here is the link to the 1.1B4 bios on the MSi forum.

I tried them and they didn't seem to really help with the Q6600 or the E8400. Give them a try anyway and let us know. Make sure you use the bios flash tool and a USB drive.

FYI: I reinstalled my Q6600 to do some further tuning.

Yipster - I set you voltage and setting. The system rebooted during an OCCT CPU run. Did you complete an OCCT CPU run?
