    MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum and Phenom II 940

    I have a K9N2 SLI Platinum and Phenom 940 is on the way. Are there still problems with bios 3.4? What is the correct way to flash to 3.4 voltages what is normal? I thought that flashed through the methods usb but I have to reboot and CMOS? So is the stock voltage suitable for the Phenom 940? Is 1,375 or 1,350? MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum, AMD Phenom 9750, 8GB OZC SLI 6400, Nvidia GeForce XFX 9800GT SLI, OCZ 550W

    If the update was successful as I suppose, I should have informed the BIOS on the new processors and what settings they have. Yes, pulling the power cord and CMOS is a good thing when you change the processor. And to think this way, you have to pull the power cable anyway so no extra work in reality. Well, put that was 1.8, set it to auto and jump between 1.35 and 1.38. Someone said they were at 1.35. So what did I do wrong?

    Clearly there is something very wrong with this motherboard model then, as it is not the only person who cannot obtain the correct tensions in the BIOS after flashing, and yet I and others can. They are also very deceptive ads on this board, and announcing that it is compatible with 1066, and advertised as a brand OCZ support, but apparently not compatible with OCZ at 1066.

    there is nothing wrong with hummingbirds motherboard, I have been posting about this problem since January, when it launched the 940, some cards seem to default to 1.8v after resetting the BIOS (mine included), some not, some also have the value 1.350v in the BIOS (mine doesn't). There appears to be two different versions floating around the K9N2 SLI Platinum (including revision number matches) msi in the day asked me what was written on the label in the PCI slot though. The last post talking about this was locked so could not take on it. msi even sent me beta bios with lower voltages (with the exception of 1.350v for example, 1.325,1.320) nothing that gave 1.350v environment.

    msi support seems clueless Abit, when I first got my K9N2 sli i had a temperature reading of the plate between 110F to 126F (which is more than 200 + C), heatpipes told me there was defective, that was stupid Temporary workers would be on fire (it turned out it was a sensor that all these plates are not working, this is a problem and not been addressed in later versions of Everest etc).

    just put the CPU voltage (self) it will be good for overclocking to about 3.4-3.5GHz, it makes sense to ask here because they do not have this problem going to say it’s you or you have not configured properly and msi not help. But the board did not give up though because once querks know all the plate is excellent. Large and stable overclocks I’ve had my 940be in this forum to 3.9 GHz stable, just annoying if you’re one of those people who like to run on the action, but to obtain temperatures as cool as possible

    There is no phenomenon of the second processor 940 is an excellent, hardly see any improvement in any case the game i7. Unless you're one of those people who think and other benchmarks are optimized Intel SuperPi which all ends all. The encoding is very fast as well (I have not found an encoder to a maximum of 4 cores yet) and a decent cooler should be able to create 3.5 3.6 GHz 24 / 7 with no probs. I realized I was using ddr800; you get the extra bandwidth to 1066. 3DMark06 did a lot of runs with 2x8800gt and have scored over 20,000 + (did not get any additional points using ddr800 vs ddr1066), but running benchmarks Everest memory read, etc ddr1066 made a big difference. Do not worry about the default voltages.

    Xigmatek I contacted and sent pictures of the S1283V mounted on my motherboard, has given them some advice on the inclusion of an additional mounting bracket so the S1283 can be mounted side instead of flat, in a socket AM2 +, so the fan can blow the back of the case. They are taking the advice of your R & D in Taiwan, I say and also asked me some advice, suggesting to the grinding wheel in my Dremel to take a couple of millimeters of metal fin bottom of the refrigerator, so you can use one DIMM slot. This is to check with your Department of R & D for me in this too.
