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

[Litri]

Hi guys, thanks for the reply, I will have to do more test to found out what wrong. The board has a 8 pin CPU power connector but I only plugged in a 4 pin connector, is that a problem? Also is that possible or will help to set the FSB:RAM ratio to 1:1 for my 1066 DDR2 Ram? Sorry for all these amateur questions.

Using only a 4-pin connector should not be a problem, I have it like that and it follows the motherboard requirements and specs.

I just noticed in your previous post that you wrote "MSI P7n Diamond V1.0".

If that means that you have BIOS version 1.0, i would recommend you to flash your bios to the latest one... http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=...1&prod_no=1372

Regarding the FSB... it will be difficult as doing that will mean that you will have to overclock the CPU by a nice amount and as far as i remember those processors were coming with a quadpumped 200FSB, 800MHZ and they were already very hot... by the speed you mentioned i guess it is a P4 (Cedar Mill core) 661, 65nm.

It will be a bit harder than normal to clock this thing... i think.
