Central Processing Unit: CPU

The mainboard supports AMD

®

Athlon64 processor. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called Socket-939 for easy CPU installation. W hen you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating.

If you do not have the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.

For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/ products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php.

Memory

The mainboard provides 4 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double In-Line Memory

Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 4GB. You can install DDR266/

333/400 modules on the DDR DIMM slots (DDR 1~4).

For the updated supporting memory modules, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/ program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_trp_list.php.

DIMM1~4

(from left to right)

Introduction to DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is similar to conventional SDRAM, but doubles the rate by transferring data twice per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to 3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM. High memory bandwidth makes DDR an ideal solution for high performance PC, workstations and servers.

DIMM Module Combination

Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 1GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet their own needs. Please note that each DIM M can work respectively for singlechannel DDR, but there are some rules while using dual-channel DDR (Please refer to the suggested DDR population table below) .

Users may install memory modules of different type and density on different-channel DDR DIMMs. However, the same type and density memory modules are necessary while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may happen. Please refer to the following table for detailed dual-channel

DDR. Other combination not listed below will function as single-channel DDR.

- Please select the identical memory modules to install on the dual channel, and DO NOT install three memory modules on three

DIMMs, or it may cause some failure.

- Always insert the memory modules into the GREEN slots first, and it is strongly recommended not to insert the memory modules into the PURPLE slots while the GREEN slots are left empty.

- This mainboard DO NOT support the memory module installed with more than 18 pieces of IC (integrated circuit).

Important Notification about Power Issue

NForce chipset is very sensitive to ESD (Electrostatic Discharge), therefore this issue mostly happens while the users intensively swap memory modules under S5

(power-off) states, and the power code is plugged while installing modules. Due to several pins are very sensitive to ESD, so this kind of memory-replacement actions might cause system chipset unable to boot. Please follow the following solution to avoid this situation.

Unplug the AC power cable (shown in figure 1) or unplug the ATX1 & JPW 1 power connectors (shown in figure 2 & figure 3) before the 1st installation or during system upgrade procedure.

Dynamic Overclocking

Dynamic Overclocking Technology is the automatic overclocking function, included in the MSI TM ’ s newly developed CoreCell TM Technology. It is designed to detect the load balance of CPU while running programs, and to adjust the best CPU frequency automatically. W hen the motherboard detects CPU is running programs, it will speed up

CPU automatically to make the program run smoothly and faster. W hen the CPU is temporarily suspending or staying in the low load balance, it will restore the default settings instead. Usually the Dynamic Overclocking Technology will be powered only when users' PC need to run huge amount of data like 3D games or the video process, and the CPU frequency need to be boosted up to enhance the overall performance.

Setting options:

[Disabled]

[Private]

[Sergeant]

[Captain]

Disable Dynamic Overclocking function.

1st level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 1%.

2nd level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 3%.

3rd level of overclocking, also the default value of "Load High

Performance Defaults", increasing the CPU frequency by 5%.

[Colonel]

[General]

4th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 7%.

5th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 9%.

[Commander] 6th level of overclocking, increasing the CPU frequency by 11%.


Even though the Dynamic Overclocking Technology is more stable than manual overclocking, basically, it is still risky. We suggest user to make sure that your CPU can afford to overclocking regularly first. If you find the PC appears to be unstable or reboot incidentally, it's better to disable the Dynamic Overclocking or to lower the level of overclocking options. By the way, if you need to conduct overclocking manually, you also need to disable the D.O.T Ranger first.

Adjust CPU FSB Frequency

This item allows you to select the CPU Front Side Bus clock frequency (in MHz). Select the number between [200]~[400] for needed frequency.

This setting disables/enables the SSE/SSE2 Instructions. The Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) were introduced in the Pentium III processor. The SSE extensions consist of a new set of instructions and a new set of registers. These instructions and registers are designed to allow Single-Instruction Multiple-Data (SIMD) computations to be made on single-precision floating-point numbers.

The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) were introduced in the Pentium 4 and Intel

Xeon processors. They consist of a new set of instructions that operate on the XXM and MXCSR registers and perform SIMD operations on double-precision floating-point values and on integer values.Several of these new SSE/SSE2 instructions also operate in the MMX registers. Setting options: [Enabled], [Disabled].

Adjusting the DDR voltage can increase the DDR speed. Any changes made to this setting may cause a stability issue, so changing the DDR voltage for long-term purpose is NOT recommended . Setting options are: [Auto], [2.50V]~[2.85V].

NF4 Voltage

NV4 voltage is adjustable in the field. Setting options are: [1.50V]~[1.85V].


The settings shown in different color in CPU Voltage , Memory Voltage and NF4 Voltage help to verify if your setting is proper for your system.

G ray: Default setting.

Yellow: High performance setting.

Red: Not r ecommended setting and the system may be unstable.

Changing CPU VID, CPU Voltage, Memory Voltage and NF4 Voltage may result in the instability of the system; therefore, it is NOT recommended to change the default setting for long-term usage.

Introduction à la DDR SDRAM

La DDR SDRAM est similaire à la SDRAM conventionnelle mais double le taux de transfert de donn

é es deux fois par cycle. Il utilise le 2.5v contrairement au 3.3v de la

SDR SDRAM.

Les modules de DDR poss è dent 184 broches, contre 168 pour les modules

DIMM utilis é par SDR SDRAM. C ’ est une solution id é ale pour les PC haute performance, de travail et les serveurs.

DIMM Module Combination

Installez au moins un module DIMM sur les slots. Chaque slot DIMM supporte une taille maximum d ’ 1GB. Merc i de noter que chaque DIMM fonctionnera respectivement avec le single channell DDR mais certaines r è gles permettent d ’ utiliser le dual channel DDR(merci de vous reporter au tavleau ci-contre). Vous pouvez installer des modules simples ou doubles faces selon vos besoins. Vous pouvez installer des m

é moires de modules de diff

é rent type et de densit

é

sur les diff

é rents canaux DDR DIMMs. Les modules de m é moire de m ê me type et densit é sont requis lors de l ’ utilisation dual-channel DDR, sinon une instabilit é peut appara î tre.

Merci de vous ref é rer au tableau suivant pour les d é tails sur le dual channel DDR.

DIMM1~4

(von links nach r echts)

Einf ü hrung zu DDR SDRAM

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM entspricht konventionellem SDRAM, verdoppelt aber die Datenrate, indem in jedem Taktzyklus zweimal Daten ü bertragen werden. Es werden im Gegensatz zu den 3,3 Volt des SDR SDRAMS 2,5 Volt verwendet, und ebenso statt einem 168- Pin Modul ein 184- Pin Modul. Die hohe Speicherbandbreite macht DDR zur idealen L ö sung f ü r Hochleistungs- PCs, W orkstations und Server.

DDR Speicherzusammensetzung

Setzen Sie mindestens ein Speichermodul in einen Stecksockel. Jeder DIMM

Sockel unterst ü tzt einen Speicherriegel mit maximal 1 GB. Gem äß Ihren Anforderungen k ö nnen Sie entweder ein- oder doppelseitige Module verwenden. Bitte beachten Sie, dass jedes DIMM jeweils im Einkanal- DDR- Betrieb verwendet werden kann, j e d o c h e i n i g e R e g e l n b e a c h t e t w e r d e n m ü s s e n , f a l l s S i e s i e i m

Dynamic Overclocking Technology (D.O.T) ist die automatische Ü bertaktungsfunktion, die in MSI TM ’ s neu entwickelter CoreCell TM Technologie enthalten ist. Sie dient zur

Feststellung des Auslastungsgrades der CPU, w ä hrend diese Programme abarbeitet, und passt die CPU-Frequenz automatisch an. Stellt das Motherboard fest, dass die

CPU Programme ausf ü hrt, beschleunigt es automatisch die CPU und erlaubt so eine fl ü ssige und schnellere Ausf ü hrung. Ist die CPU ohne Last oder nur wenig ausgelastet, werden statt dessen die Voreinstellungen wieder hergestellt. Ü blicherweise kommt die Technologie der dynamis chen Ü bertaktung nur zum Einsatz, wenn gro ß e

D atenmengen bew ä ltigt werden m ü s s en, wie das bei 3D Spielen oder der

Videoverarbeitung der Fall ist. In diesen F ä llen ist es notwendig, die CPU -Frequenz zu erh ö hen, um die Gesamtleistung des Systems zu erh ö hen. D ie m ö glichen

PCIE Clock

Gestattet es, die Taktfrequenz (in Mhz) des PCIE Bus zu w ä hlen. W ä hlen Sie die ben ö tigte Frequenz als Zahl zwischen [100] und [145].

K8 CPU SSE/ SSE2 Instructions

Diese Einstellung schaltet die SSE/SSE2 Instructions ein-/aus. Die Streaming SIMD

Extensions (SSE) wurden mit dem Pentium III Prozessor eingef ü hrt. Die SSE

Erweiterungen bestehen aus einem neuen Satz von Befehlen und einem neuen Satz von Registern. Diese Befehle und Register wurden entworfen, um Single-Instruction

Multiple-Data (SIMD) Berec hnungen mit einf ach pr ä zisen Flie ß kommazahlen durchzuf ü hren.

Die Streaming SIMD Extensions2 (SSE2) wurden mit den Pentium 4 und Intel Xeon

Prozessoren eingef ü hrt. Sie bestehen aus einem neuen Satz von Befehlen die in den

XXM und MXCSR Registern arbeiten und SIMD Operationen mit zweifach pr ä zisen

Flie ß kommazahlen und Ganzzahlwerten durchf ü hren. Verschiedene dieser neuer

SSE/SSE2 Anweisungen arbeiten auch in den MMX Registern. M ö gliche Einstellungen:

[Enabled] (eingeschaltet) oder [Disabled] (ausgeschaltet).

Cool ’ n ’ Quiet control

Wurde speziell f ü r AMD Athlon Prozessoren entworfen, und stellt eine Funktion zur

Erfassung der CPU Temperatur bereit, um Ihre CPU vor Ü berhitzung durch hohe Last zu bewahren. M ö gliche Einstellungen: [Disabled] (ausgeschaltet), [Auto].


Um einen stabilen Betrien der Cool'n'Quiet Funktion sicher zu stellen, ist es immer angeraten, die Speicherbank DMM1 zu best ü cken.
