    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    I still have this memory timing problem. At boot up, it shows 333hmhz, and PCmark04 says my memory frequency is 333. But the cpu-z program shows 208.3 mhz on the memory tab, and 200mhz on the SPD tab. I have set my bios to overclock my Opteron 146 to 2500, just like the instructions in...

    Anyone else having trouble getting any audio whatsoever? WHen I plug in a pair of headphones or any speakers into any of the rear audio jacks, I do get the realtek program but I can't even play music or anything. Very strange.

    Opteron 146/148/150+165/170/175 Mega Coupon Sale Again @ MONARCH

    Ordered my 146 on Monday and it still says processing order. But I'm waiting it out, for less than a 3200+ I can't pass that up. To their credit , I had my 165 in less than about a week, but I did pay for 2nd day fedex on that one.

    I can't get my component out to work at all. I've changed forceware to 81.86 and bios to 3.13. I get the ugly blue screen when I switch the output to tv in my nvidia setup. I don't really know anything about video settings for tv, ntsc, 480i, etc. I am just leaving that at the default on the...

    Thanks renethx. I'm almost 100% certain I have the memory in 1&2, I'll have to check tonight. Also, I noticed when I leave memclock mode at auto, it does say mem clock 400 on boot, but I thought I have to change it to 166 in order to OC?? When I change it to 166 like in the OC recipes...

    Can't get my venice 3200+ to run at 2500, it does 2480 if I turn up the ddr voltage to 2.7. I have 1gb corsair value ram. I plan to put an OPty 146 in there, do you guys think it will do 2500 easy or does it sound like my memory is causing this problem? btw-my memory is supposed to be 400...

    Finally got mine up and running great over the weekend. Spent a few hours and got my 3200+ running at 2460, very stable. Since the opty 146's are on sale at Monarch for $155, I'm going to grab one of those and OC it to 2500. I guess that 146 is about the cheapest chip you can put in this...

    Sorry for the long post, but I know other people are having problems with this too since I'm getting PMs about it. I love this board, but my experience with component out has not been very good. I hear ya. My entire reason for getting this board is to use the video out with my sdtv in...

    Did you get this issue fixed yet? My component out does the same thing on my tv. And the text looks very bad. But the vga out on the same tv looks great. I initially thought I had a bad mb, but I am running bios v 3.00 so maybe that's it. update: I missed your later posts about using...

    LCD inverter or backlight bulb out

    Well, another mystery. When I push the switch up and down real fast, the lcd came on and stayed on. But I'm afraid to close the lcd again because maybe the switch is bad. But if that were so then wouldn't it hybernate if it thought the switch was closed, instead of just going black. I'm...
