After becoming an ATI chipset fan, with their 9100IGP, I had to get an
Athlon64 one. Got this system up and running with "Hot Deals" from
Fatwallet. 2Gb of PC3200 in dual channel, Athlon3800, 37Gb Raptor (Boot
drive), Seagate 160Gb SATA (Data & storage).

Loaded XP SP2 (and was surprised onboard SATA worked without any drivers
needed - not in RAID mode)

With an Enermax silent power supply, and a Zalman AlCu 7000a, it is silent
in an Antec Solution SLK 2650 SLK2650BQE.

Nubie questions? About BIOS settings -

Internal Video Mode [Disabled] [UMA] [UMA+Sideport] [Sideport]
(I have no idea what these change, or what they do)

GFX Clock Mode [Sync] [Async]
(Again, no idea)

Good you are happy with it. 2 Mbyte ram ! I also use one. Quite good !
I am surprised.

Internal video is not my cup of tea, - so I am no expert. But for the
setting:

Advanced chipset. LDT & PCI Bus Control : I can recoomed ti raise LDT
bus frequency to 1000 MHz. That is the hypertransport speed for
memory.

For AGP: read manual page 3-13.

Nice review:

Ups 2 Gbyte ram !

Are there any new pages that show how to set the voltages for new Fan
controller - Low/Med/High fan settings in the BIOS? There is nothing in the
manual, or website that even show this feature.

You can change both the system, and CPU fan. Temp settings are obvious. But
the voltage settings almost look like hexadecimal.

It came with bios 3.2 about a month ago.

Now we have 3.3 bios. This should enable ram voltage settings, but I
can't find it.

Maybe hex. I don't bother. I have set low, medium and high
temperatures and are quite satisfied with the result.

If you didnt bother, then how did you set it to low, not knowing what the
low voltage setting is?

Explain?

There is Low-Med-High, then voltage settings for each temp you set. HOW do
you change the voltage setting? What do you change it to? (00-3f) are the
settings, what ever that means.

The bios uses some given voltages for low, medium and high
temperatures.

Why do you want to fiddle with everything.

It works.

If you have destroyed the voltages, then load defaults.

You dont know your BIOS settings.
You SET Low, Medium, and High temp settings.

You SET Low, Medium, and High fan voltage settings, for each temp.

Otherwise they are all the same setting, by default.

Calm down a little, please.

Yes, you are right.

Maybe it is the setting under Power Settings: AMD Cool & Quiet set to
Auto, that brings my setup to work.

I have cpu fan og 2600 rpm, and systen fan on 1300 rpm. Quite nice.

Maybe MSI can tell something if you mail to them.

Well, I am no novice. I build 20 computers per year, and have 3-4
computers for myself. Runs also X64 OS on this, - that's why I made
it. In a boot manager though. There are still some driver problems,
sound on this motherboard per example. But ATi's beta 64 bits driver
fix the graphics.

Hi all,

I see this is an old thread, but I just got one of these MBs.
Disappointed about lack of overclock features, doesn't even have
voltage monitor! But still a good deal for that performance and
features.

Hexadecimals are just like decimals, but each digit has 16 values,
count up like 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-a-b-c-d-e-f. Then the next digit
incrases, 10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-1a-1b-1c-1d-1e-1f-20 etc.

So for the fan setting, 3F is the maximum setting, 00 is the lowest.
Since I have an Antec Aria case, I want more interior air movement,
I've set mine to 28 2B 3F, at thresholds 35 50 60°C

Do you find that the tight CPB layout for the DDR sockets make them
difficult to cool? I only have 2 Geil modules, and the one away from
the CPU isn't getting enough air. Stuck a thermocouple between them,
was reading 40°C...
