yup msi forums are pretty dead. absolute waste of time going over there.

i cant get stable at 4.6ghz coming from 1366 setup i have little to no understanding, 4.5ghz is stable.

What voltage have you gone to?

thanks for the continued support

What voltage have you gone to?

1.4vcore 4.6ghz

 

[crinkleshoes]

1.4vcore 4.6ghz

Ouch! Sounds like you haven't got the best clocking chip there, I'm afraid

I can't get stable any higher than 4.6GHz with HT enabled (1.295V bios)

I can get 4.8GHz with HT disabled (1.35V bios)

Try disabling HT just to see if you can get any further.

While I got 4.8 stabled with HT-off... I decided to stick with 4.6 and HT on... so your best bet may be to stick with 4.5

I wouldn't go any further than 1.4V on "standard" cooling.

settings i'm using,
Disabled:
Limit CPUID Maximum
EuP 2013
C1E Support
OverSpeed Protection
Spread Spectrum
HPET
XMP

vcore 1.3 to 1.4
x 46
blk 100 - 102 tried
vcroop control auto to 100%(tried them all)

run prime for 1 min then get bsod 0x124, custom watercooling.

like i said - try disabling hyperthreading & see what happens

Hi crinkleshoes, just wondered if you resolved whatever probs you were having with sammy memory? I have a gd65 & 8gb sammy green mem for a build im starting soon.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Nope - still haven't received a reply to my ticket, on the msi forum or on here

Just checked & it's been exactly a month since anyone bothered replying to me

 

[thenewoc]

do you have a link to the post on msi forum please as I looked for it but couldn't find it?

 

[crinkleshoes]

For some reason you can't link directly to it... It's just been posted in by someone as unhappy as myself

It's in the beta bioses section or the one next to it. You have to register to have access, I think.

 

[thenewoc]

Think I found it now, last entry by tastyweat, subbed it. Will see how I get on with just 8gb.

 

[crinkleshoes]

Just been asked for more information on the RAM & got confirmation that they will be testing the problem soon... I'll supply all I can

 

[vonex]

what bios you using crinkleshoes?

 

[crinkleshoes]

I've tried every bios since release, currently on the latest - which is the one available on the main website.

I'm not on the comp at the minute - think the code ends 151 (but it's actually version 1.4 or something similar). There's no new beta out yet.

any news on the bios for the G43 board?

 

[PorkPieCat]

yes please, it's taking a bit long given that the bios is made, just not made to work with q-flash.

i want it to be out before i contact msi about the little problems my board's been having. also this one is supposed to add sensible voltage controls... (i hope)
