MSI K9A2 Platinum running 1066Mhz 2x2GB need help

[Final8ty]

I have been doing some Quad Prime95
And i have noticed that one or more of the 4 tasks fail instead of one more cores dropping to idle like it did on my DFI, on the MSI it just spreads the load across the cores or has something been updated in vista in the last 5 days to change that.

I cant get 3Ghz prime stable on this mobo like i could on the DFI.
I can only think that's because i cant set the NB voltage in the later bioses.
So now i have created 2 Bios disks as im using both Raid controllers & the OS is on the Promise & don't want to get locked out so one disk has the bios 1.3 that im using now & the other will be fore testing other version.

Thanks Daveburt714 and Final8ty, I'll give that a try this weekend.


Another question... why would the voltage setting for the ram and cpu be greyed out in the BIOS?

I was trying to manually set the voltage for my ram (2.1v) but i can't.

just hit the + and - it will change.

there manual states you can't change it. but you can.

u[date you bios though that will help more.

Thanks demonkevy666,

the manual is pretty mush useless!
