yes you are right, i apologize... in the meanwhile try to figure this out jack'... mem is officially rated 250Mhz 2.5-4-4-8 This works : FSB 250, Divider 200, timings 2.5-4-4-8, effective ram 250Mhz This works : FSB 278, Divider 180, timings 2.5-4-4-8, effective ram 250Mhz This is...

yes cas is always 2,5 i am not saying that it doesn't work for everybody maybe i have a faulty mobo

further testing : I set up everything at stock .. then set HTT 3x and FSB 210 (166 divider) OK ! FSB 220 OK ! FSB 230 OK ! FSB 240 OK ! FSB 250 no boot ! reset FSB 241 no boot ! reset fsb 240 ok ! seems divider 166 works only with FSB <=240 (tried with more than 15 different...

i understand what you are saying but i now play @ 294FSB 180 Divider (mem @264Mhz) with 2.5-3-3-8 all i am doing is changing the f$@!% divider .. so instead of 264 it will go to 25x or 24x .... that has nothing to do with increasing timings (more to do with decreasing them but i am not...

well i've set my settings at 3-4-4-10 166 divide ron a longshot and system booted .. when in windows benched and then pressed restart .. system did not boot and stuck again at processor initialization forcing me to bios reset setting 3-4-4-10 again and 166 divider does not boot .. again...

i know about HTT.. about tRAS i know it was 10 optimal at nForce3 but I've set it at 8 according to anand's article of nForce4 (DFI). seems 8 is optimal for nForce4. i'm doing benches right now to see low latency vs high bandwidth. mem passes through memtest ok but crashes at S&M @264Mhz...

try S&M for max load temp and great mem checking ... found me some errors even memtest86 and prime didn't ... :) p.s. : this app GREATLY loads cpu .. keep an eye on temps p.s. 2 : with this app and at 2655Mhz my 3000+ has max temp of 47 degress (air)

nop on me divider 166 (which i want) does not work with any mem timings... @ilivemovie : nice :) could you tell me if you just set up these settings and it did work .. or did you have to go up (in the bios) in small increments ? also, does cpu-z recognize 140 divider ? i have 180 and...

i will try when i return home .. right now i am sipping coffee and writing on my pda. BUT i doubt setting these latencies so high (6-6-10) will help. the whole point of dividers is to pump up the fsb while keeping mem relatively down so it can have good latencies... right now i am at 295...

i don't know what to make of it .. maybe a batch of these boards that came with 1.1 have a series of issues .. maybe a new bios from MSI will resolve these... Until then I sit tight at : FSB : 295 Mhz CPU : 2655 (9x) Ram : 265 (180 divider) 2.5-3-3-8 1T HTT : 885 (3x) this is perfectly...

i don't believe i've contradicted myself. I'll grant you that my very first post was premature but it was only because I really care about the dividers 180, 166 and 150 that I hadn't tested the others. I didn't see any reason to test 100 since before I've tried 166 with no success... anyway...

@jeraden, nobody said you did ! :) must be my board .. did your's come with v1.1 also or did you update ? @arswihart, yes it does. after EXTENSIVE TESTING i can report that the working dividers on my board are : 100, 133, 180, 200 ... that's it all others available (120,140,150,166)...

i have the mem in first 2 slots closer to the processor (correct ones).. on my board only 180 works , none other ... all others do not boot with MSI's diagnostic showing "processor initialization" .. guess I have to settle for 296 FSB, 888 HTT, 2664 CPU, 266 Memory (180 divider)...

after extensive testing, I can now confirm that no multiplier except 180 works with my Neo4 Platinum. All others lock up in boot and MSI's diagnostic module shows "Processor Initialization" and just hangs there. do you think I should RMA ?

after further testing : divider 180 works!! .. whatever i put there pc boots. but divider 180 is not recognized either in cpu-z or clockgen .. i have FSB @296 Mhz so mem is @266 with divider 180 but clockgen shows mem at -296. .. cpu-z doesn't show anything divider 166 DOES NOT WORK ...
