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

[dogg]

Got my system for a month and watching this thread for some time...
Your infos come to me very helpful, but still can't have system stable at oc...
Got in on 4.04 GHz runnin 3D Mark06 without crash with score 18016 /if i remember right, ran lots of tests /, but everest stress test failed in couple of minutes.. Tried some lower, but still combination of problems like a bsod and freezing at vista start up...
100% stable at stock... so probably no issue with hardware... I'm using stock bios 1.0... Not sure how safe is install beta... Any info about official update?
I starting got an issue with startup of computer when my usb devices are plugged in.. Freeze on MSI Diamond screen..probably hardware mapping.. need restart and then takig more than 30secs to start from that screen.. Nothing tragic, but I was trying to bild something fast
Actually I like this board... My temps are good, even in oc /not stable but CPU cores on 64 C/... I've installed temp sensors on passives so don't need to touch em..
NB at 42 C in games... PCIe expander 2-3 C more... SB at 30 C...
GPUs 60 C, main one ussualy 2-3 C more..
Think that coolig solution is better than asus solution my mate installed..
But phoenix bios looks better than ami... Hope that bios update is the key
