MSI P45 Platinum & e8500

If your running old ballistix DDR 667 ram with D9 chips you should have no problem running DDR 1066 CL5. I have 3 sets of 10th anni ballistix DDR 667 and all of them manage DDR 1200+ when set to CL5. They will overclock better than some "dedicated" 1066 memory.

Yes that is what I am running it runs over 1100 on my P35 board but won't go above 900 on this.

Ill be testing new bios tomorrow. I understand there may be problems with the memory stability and i am sure a new bios will be out to sort this soon ;)

The beta bios is in the link. Just gone back to my MSI P35 Neo2 and that does 520 FSB with an E8400 and 465FSB with a QX9650. Been priming for a bit with ram at 1050 and its fine with the P45 board blue screens above 900mhz. Tried the gtl settings but no joy.

hi mate.

Ok i am testing settings to get 500FSB stable with e8500 @ x8 multi giving 4ghz and 1000mhz on the memory. This is ideal for most users.

I am using latest beta bios Here

Ill get screen shots up with bios settings in a bit. I must add this bios is a MASSIVE improvement over the samples i have had previous. 500FSB is easy with this bios :p
 
500FSB "Bios images Attached"
Please note this is using latest Beta Bios v25.0b13.

I have been asked via email by a few members to supply bios settings showing 500fsb. Of course this isn't the same on every setup however its easy achievable.

e8500 "Tuniq Tower"
Crucial Ballistics 2x1GB "PC8500"

I totally disagree at present!:mad: 4qman is using v1.0 of this board which is a review sample. I have traced several reviews over the web and users on MSI forums and not 1 person as yet has had any success getting past 450FSB and I am using the same ram and E8400 they all are using the retail v1.1. I know of 3 instances of getting 500FSB+ and guess what they all are using v1.0 basically as it stands this board is a total waste of money for an enthusiast. My £65 P35 board beats it out of site! I wil NEVER buy MSI again after this.
 
As 4qman says above my problems with the board are down to something else as a Asus P5Q pro also has the same isues for me.

New bios has cleared up a lot of issues and 4qman has been a great help and he does have v1.1 as well! If only I had some hair left :)
