    OCing on Gigabyte EP45-UD3P Mobo & C2Q Q9550

    I am just upgrading from a MSI K8N Neo4 NForce4 939pin mobo & AMD Athlon 4200 CPU @ 2.5ghz. I searched on Anandtech for P45 Mobos and found that EP45-U3DP was given the Gold award so I purchased it. It seems overclocking is trickier on the Core2 Cpu and P45 chipset ( I can imagine an X58 &...

    VMware ESX Desktop Hardware Compatibllity?

    Has anyone tried to use VMWare ESX 3.5 on desktop chipsets like Intel P35, X38,X48 or Nvidia 600 or 700 series? I want to learn how to use Infrastructure 3 on Desktop hardware? I can't afford a server just to study vmware.

    I agree with MajorPayne and would RMA in a second just for the sound problem, which may or may not have anything to do with your oc'ing problem. Then I would test your cpu in somebody elses compatible rig, even if its a Nvidia nforce3 or VIA K8T800. Also don't forget the memory. Bring it with...

    What Monitor SW for NF4 (Specifically MSI Neo4 Plat)

    The thing is that Core Center seems to undo volatage settings for memory and cpu I set in Bios/Core Cell. Core Center doesn't show what I set in Bios and it shouldn't change them. I installed Mother Board Monitor. I loaded it once b4 I reloaded OS and it had settings for most mobos except...

    What Monitor SW for NF4 (Specifically MSI Neo4 Plat)

    Trying to monitor and log results on my MSI Neo4 Platinum. Seems Prime95 fails when CPU reach certain Temps. Another problem is Corecenter seems to be overriding my settings set in Bios/CoreCell. Tried NTune and got a PCI Lock warning. What are you using? FSB 260Mhz HTT 4X CPU 2.6Ghz...

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    Oops, just wanted to know what if anyone used the MSI Corecenter software or the Nvidia Ntune? I'm having a problem I believe with Core Center setting the Memory, CPU Voltages back to what it is set in Core Center than what is set in Core Cell on the Bios. It's fustrating that I can record...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra

    You rock Kindest! Thanx for posting your core bios settings. I upped the voltage on the NB (northbridge) to 1.65 as you mentioned. Crashed on Prime95 then upped the mem voltage to 2.8v. Ran Prime95 for 2.5 hours without a hiccup while I was using Firefox, Outlook and Gaim. My settings are...

    Nforce4 Mobo overclock to 250Mhz or better (K8N Neo4 Specifically)

    Here is some information which I was told by PQI Memory Tech support because I couldn't reach DDR500 with their product. I set it for 250Mhz FSB, 8X CPU Multiplier, 4x HTT and all within normal operating range of the PQI PC4000 memory and the A64 3200+ (2.0Ghz). I would like to know any...

    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra

    I just want to pass along some information from PQI about the MSI K8N Neo4 and its ability to do DDR500 clock. Is there anyone here who can reach 250Mhz or higher FSB and memory speed. The following are emails between myself and PQI support...

    MSI K8N Neo4 & PC4000 Ram Failing Prime95 @ 250Mhz

    Lowered everything to the default speed of 200 Mhz FSB, 10x multiplier on CPU and ran Prime95 without a hitch for 3+ hours. I'm betting on the memory being the culprit. Looking at getting Corsair Twinmos XMS3200C25 instead. Cheaper than OCZ EL Gold rev 2.
