LOL I froze out my board.

First the lan stopped working. Then one of the video cards stopped working. Now I just get code with no boot lol....lol

One to many hours under the dice lol I bet some caps are frozen solid lol.

Have to wait till morning to see if she fires back up!

Started around 3-4 o clock it's now 11:30

That's quite a while in my book to be that frozen.


I'm getting error code 2E whatever that means....

[TiTON]

DaMulta - take out one stick of ram.. and see if there is condensation / water in the memory slot. I lost two sticks of ram that way on this board.. it was so annoying. When I put it back on LN2 tomorrow, I am going to shove vasoline in the ram slots :P

[DaMulta]

Oh they are wet as hell...on the top at least......I put in another stick and I'm getting the same code/ also the whole board is starting to freeze hard core.

I'm going to let the whole thing dry out over night now......

[DaMulta]

Just mads because I was mins away from a 06 run.....

[chew*]

Hmmm, I benched the gigabyte 16 hours straight on ln2.......

DI should never ever ever be a problem if you insulate correctly, it just doesn't get cold enough to travel far..........I'm guessing you didn't use eraser?

but it still nice to know

cheers and mine will be arriving today

how you like my new Sig

I am going to shove vasoline in the ram slots :P

Ton

umm use K-Y less grease

[DaMulta]

I'm still getting error code 2e. Anyone happen to know what that code is?

I have tried different ram, video in different slot(also in no slots and new card) pulled all usb/sata/ide/.....

[DaMulta]

XP takes to long to install!

Add dice add speed which saves time! lol




999!

Nice DaMulta!
Impressive Ram clocks there Chew* especially with only 1,57 volts!
There are so many good results in this thread, can´t comment all... So a big "Good Work" to you all!

Got my MSI GD-70 today and spent the most of mine day rebuilding my rig. This is the only time sense I left 939 that I can say without hesitation that Phenom I/II are a mature and well working platform. With my Gigabyte UD5P there was always that feeling of uncertainty hanging in the air. Same with Am2+ boards I had before ASUS/DFI/Gigabyte. I just booted @ 300MHz HTT with 1200Mhz ram @ 6-6-6-18 1T 1,65v and passt OCCT, that easy! Great Job MSI! San Ace 120*38mm fan @ onboard controller works well and under volts like a champ aswell. I´m impressed MSI! Keep this up and you will have a loyal customer for years to come!

what ram would be best?
i only do benches so far no games



I had vista 64 then switched to win7 64

should i try xp 32?

Without going to DI or LN2, you are going to hit the infamous 4GHz wall with the 64-bit operating systems on this platform. So, if you want to improve your clocks, whip out Win7 32 or XP Pro SP3. Win7 overclocks better than Vista so just skip Vista altogether in this case.

[TiTON]

DaMulta.

Very nice.. is that your kid? I got my son helping pour LN2 He enjoys watching the GPU Benches.. and doesn't stick around for any CPU Benches :P

- Ton

[DaMulta]

no that's me!

j/king yea mine was loving the dry ice round. He does not stick around for a lot of the benches, and says when we going to play some games.....

yes it will i can run 32m with 4 sticks installed


2x2GB D9JNL
2x1GB D9GTS

1800 memory, and passes 32m(I have no reason not to believe cdawall have been posting with him for a long time.)

I'm guessing the mem issues has to do with MSi's BIOS.

I'm a firm believer of PICS or it didn't happen.........Not that I don't believe anyone its that I do believe screenshots and exif data

There is nothing wrong with the bios......another reason for requesting 32M is for performance asus has a long history of loosening timings to make you think your faster by getting higher clocks.

[TiTON]

wohoo!! I got some micron d9 to play with again. Losing a stick of memory in a pair sucks. I might just start getting tri-channel kits for AMD, so I have backup stick. I was doing Cas 6 @ 833 for Wprime1024, which is good enough for me. To impatient to play with SPi 32m. I just focus on max speed that is bench stable.

Hopefully I get the same performance from the these other sets of Crucial D9.

[DistortioniZm]

DaMulta!! As you know, only a realman drinks everclear I tried pouring over my board but it didn't really help. One for me, one for my homies!

[DaMulta]

I just poped the cover where the CPU inserts. Did you know that where the covers on the white top are for the CPU, there are wire points underneath it.....hidden to the normal users.

Makes one wonder if there could be some kind of pin/mods that could take place under there...Hmmmmmm

[SKoob]

I can't seem to get AMD Overdrive 3.02 to load with this motherboard, that is with a complete fresh install of XP wioth SP3. Anyone else had this problem?

[DaMulta]

I've used it a bunch in win 7......

[DaMulta]

Thanks to a bottle of 90% achole my machine is almost up and running 100%. I need to clean the memory pins(under the board a little more) but one slot(the 4th one) is still working 100%.

It's still a little dirty under there.....IDK how it kind of got crap all over it....I'm thinking once I get it 100% up and running again. My board is getting a treatment of liquid plastic.....

horrible DDR3 but hey its 1800mhz stable

[chew*]

LOL when he said 1800 I was expecting 6-6-6 or 7-7-7 at least.....well they certainly do 1800, I'll stick with my sticks doing 32M at 1688 6-6-6 though

they are nanya sticks i killed both my D9GTS and D9JNL they die in a couple of hours at 2.2v on the M4A78T-e they are in my freezer right now hopefully that will resurrect them and i can get you some benchmarks but out of the box i had 1704 6-6-6-18 and 1800 7-6-7-20



oh and nanya stock CL7 1066 1.5v doing 1800 Cl10 1.7v isn't that bad lol

[chew*]

Snipedog Big thank you bud......

As you can see i'm still oldschool.....some dogs just can't learn new tricks.....closed loop for life.



still playing, this chip seems very sensitive to voltage on this board now, I think I may have a bad mount.....should have lapped block and cpu.
