BIOS FOR K8n neo platinum

A while back there was a big post about how to properly upgrade your bios and he had listed every bios beta or official for download. Anyone have that post? and What is the best bios for the K8n Neo platinum? Im still running on 1.1....

Just the usual bios to bios temp tweak - no worries
Have been running with speedfan with a 4C offset think i can dith it now with 1.8
Higher or lower?
Hmmm... My SpeedFan is running with no delta adjustments on the temps. I wonder if there is a discrepancy in what it's reporting & what it actually is after you boot into Windows
I'd try to go by what the Hardware Monitor says, but temp's always seem to be high when you're in BIOS anyway....

Good News For K8N Neo Platinum Users!!!

Ok, after fiddling with my BIOS for almost 2 days now, and scanning the forums for a solution, I contacted MSI Technical Support in California, USA. They are sending me a new BIOS chip, free of charge, so anyone having a severe problem with BIOS revisions 1.8 and 1.9 on the K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) please give tech support a call, I let them know I would be posting this in the forum and they will be inandated with phone calls, but woohoo, they are sending a new chip pre-flashed with BIOS revision 1.7.
Please refer to this thread for the reasons why:BIOS v1.9 Is Terrible

What good news? UK based MSI did not offer any such replacement bios after my problems updating to 1.8 bios.
I purchased a new bios chip with 1.9 bios from a UK supplier.....after fitting the bios I returned to the same problems as before, failure to boot past post and freezing in bios menu. I then remembered another post on this sight and removed one stick of memory......everything back to normal .I have just fitted a 1gb Corsair cas 2 memory and all seems well I will save my 2X 512 Corsair XL my next project which will not be a MSI Motherboard
MSI UK have not come out of this very well and from the posts that I have read there are quite a few people out there with problems. Many thanks to all those who posted on this, it certainly helps to know that you are not the only one with problems.

New Windows XP 64bit, but no drivers for K8N Neo Platinum

Hello,
I have a MSI K8N Neo Platinum with an AMD 2800+. Just received the new Windows XP 64bit edition after attending a trade show in Houston. Used Partition Magic to make a separate partition on my SATA 400GB HD, knowing there was possibly going to be a problem. This is the final release, retail packaged, not the Beta.
The only drivers found was for my MSI Nvidia 5600 AGp video card. No other audio, Nvidia chipset or board drivers are plug & play. Onboard LAN isn't even found.
Any drivers out yet? I figure i'll have to wait. Can't get updates either bacause it won't detect onboard LAN or a Linksys or 3Com PCI card I tried also.
Woodrow

There most certainly are nVidia drivers. The only thing that there aren't drivers for currently is the onboard sound. This, combined with lack of driver support for my peripherals (webcam and printer) are why I haven't made the switch.

Need some recommendations for K8N Neo Platinum

Well I am real psyched about my k8N Neo Platinum coming on tuesday which wi8ll be coupled with a Althon64 3200+ and I want to go ahead and purchase some RAM and possibly a heatsink and was looking for some suggestions. First of all I won't be overclocking my system much if any at all bare in mind. I am looking at getting one stick of 512 for now since money isn't exactly flowing right now and am looking to spend at the MAX $150. Correct me if I am wrong but I am probably going to just go with the PC3200 since I am not doing any huge overclocks. Here is some of the ones I was looking at:
Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Series PC-3200 - $141
Kingston HyperX 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 - $141
Please provide other suggestions if you have them, I was leaning towards the Corsair.
As far as the heatsink goes I know several people on here use the ZALMAN CNPS7000A which looks pretty darn nice to me because it is so quiet but do I really need something like this since I won't be overclocking? I am tempted to get it just because it is so quiet, that's something I am trying to do this time since my current computer is 10ft tall and sounds like a lawn mower. I got the Antec Sonata case with the big 120mm ehxaust fan to help out the cause. Thanks for any help.

Yeh I have been there and the only reason I am not getting it from there is that they are out of stock. So I was going to get it from Directron.com but I noticed that apparently have two all copper Zalman's the CNPS7000 and the CNPS7000A. I suppose I'll just get the "A" version since that is the one they have on NewEgg. Now just have to lock down my memory choice and I am all set.
My bad I just went out and checked the picture for the 7000A on Directron and it clearly has aluminum in it, they just didn't mention it in the description. I'll just have to see if it is worth it for the extra 8 bucks to get the all copper one.

Modded bios for K8N Neo-54G Platinum

Hi,
i've noticed that there are some modded bios versions available for the K8N (i.e. at syar2003's collection). My question is now whats the difference between them and the MSI versions (especially between the latest 1.56 versions)?
Edit: Has anyone allready used the modded bios 1.56 and has he got any performance boost?

Hehe , don't consider yourself a retard for this .
MSI's naming of theese boards is pretty simular and can cause theese
kinds of confusions .You are not the first one .
Anyway it was good you got the mishap resolved so quick
and got up and running again.
Look for radical_53 's post he has made a "Neo2" bios with nvraid ide rom bios 4.66 . Send him a message and he will email it to you ,i'm sure.
Vdimm voltage is not coming any higher i think , either for Neo1 or Neo2 .
Guess it has to do with board design , selection of regulator IC , and
the fact that msi runs mem from the 3.3v line (some voltage level will always be missed due to the components and regulation)
If you want really high vdimm there is just one way and that is hardmodding
the motherboard and that can be a risky affair bothe for board/mem and cpu
if things go wrong.
Other alternative is another mobo .
DFI's s754 takes vdimm from +5v and there is a modded bios that gives upto 4v for memory. They have a s939 board ready thats being betatested , but it's not released yet.
MSI K8N boards have pretty desent max vdimm compared to many others .
This is what i have found on some others :
Gigabyte max VDIMM 2.7v
MSI K8N Neo2 VDIMM 2.85v
DFI Lanparty UT VDIMM 4.0v (s754 with modded bios)
Asus K8N VDIMM 2.8v (some PCB's max 2.7v)
Epox VDIMM 2.8v
Chaintech VDIMM 2.9v

New Bios for K8N Neo 2?

I belong to the overlockers.com forum. People over there are dropping MSI's left and right because of stability issues and overclocking problems. This is not to mention the quirky temp readings and vcore settings. It seems that some of these issues could be addressed by a new bios. These same issues have been fixed by Epox with their bios updates. When is MSI going to get this done? I suggest it should be soov or the reputation of this board and MSI are going to ake a beating.

BIOS for K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hi to all.
Just wanted to know what's the best and most stable bios for my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I'm currently running ver. 1.B, but I've read that ver. 1.9 is the best. Just wanted to know everyone's thought on this one.
In case ver. 1.8 is better,
¿can I flash my bios to ver. 1.9 from 1.B without having any problems?
¿Is ver. 1.9 better for overclocking?
Thanks.

Quote from: Stu on 20-May-06, 07:55:41
if you wanna OC, then Syar's BIOS is the best bet; its the one i use
I agreed with you Stu as I'm also using Syar's Bios 1C.

Severe Problems with BIOS v1.9 for K8N Neo Platinum (7030)

I updated to the new BIOS and nothing but crashes, so I tried to go back to 1.7, because everything was working fine with 1.7 and now, the BIOS is asking for a password, and I never setup a password in the BIOS. What the heck, now I have a $1000 (US) paper weight, thanks alot for the buggy BIOS update, now you can send me a new motherboard!!!
**Edit** Well I found a work around, went back to BIOS 1.5 for now until I can get 1.7 to work again, 1.8 and 1.9 are screwed up beyond belief, you can't set any overclocking features, RAM timings are messed, there is no choice for 1T/2T, currently I'm running at SPD on the DRAM and stock on all the CPU functions. I would really like if someone could test these BIOS versions before putting them up so stupid people like me update them. Also, leaving more choices than one BIOS update in MSI LiveUpdate would be nice, because flashing via the floppy drive is a pain in the butt, lucky I have an extra computer to use.**End Edit**

Do a floppy drive flash with the correct switches. Go back to the last bios that worked properly or try Pinochio's bios which a lot of people like. Liveupdate will mess up your bios. So can winflash if you do not use it correctly.

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=86257.msg617198#msg617198
After you have read about it, do this using the correct flash utilty file name and the correct bios file name
"DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
Good luck.

New BIOS for K8N Neo2 Platinum

Version 1.1
- Support CPU FSB to 350MHz.
- Incorrect message during POST after CPU over clocking.
- Support Sempron CPU.
- Ghost rate is slow with RAID0 under DOS mode.

Quote
Anyone noticed a slight slowdown of the processor? I'll have to get back home to doublecheck all BIOS settings, but checking this with Sandra (which has been accurate so far for CPU speed testing) BIOS 1.0 and 1.1 showed identical speeds...BIOS 1.2 is 10% slower.
let us know what you find out....curious myself because i already checked bios and nothing changed after update

HDD for K8N Neo platinum

Im unsure what serial ATA HDDs are compatible with my mobo (MSI 7030)
Im looking at the SATA version of the Seagate 7200.8
I know it has NCQ which my mobo does not have
Will the drive still work anyway?

It will work,(ncq has the option to be enabled/disabled for chipsets that support ncq) but if that drive is more expensive than an equivelant sata1/non-ncq drive I'd save the money or use it to buy a few more gigabytes.

K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 XP 3700 heat question

i did do a quick search on here before posting this question but had a load of varying answers ... so
i have a K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 an xp 3700 and core centre says the chip is at about 45 - 50 degrees when the pc is idle
this is with the stock fan that came with the chip and ive also tried a samurai heatsink and fan .... ive reseated and reapplied artic silver and also tried thermal pads as well and the temp on the processor always comes back as 45 ish degrees
is this normal as the pc seems to run ok and even after round of doom 3 the temps only seem to hit about 55
are these chips hotter now or is it a bios / thermal temp issue
cheers guys
ohh and nice forums BTW

yup, issue with temp reading -> 1.43 beta bios for K8N NEO pL. for me 36-39 idle 42-45 after a doom3 session

Which drivers for K8N Neo 2 Platinum

I'm just about to place an order for a K8N Neo2 Platinum to go with my AMD 64 3000+ Winchester.
As is usual I normally download the latest relevant BIOS and drivers in advance so everything is ready to go when the hardware turns up.
However, looking at the MSI page, there seems to be a bewildering array of drivers for this board: Neo2 drivers and it's not exactly clear which ones are for my specific board.
For example, I can't seem to find a relevant SATA driver from the list.
The actual board I'm going for is this one from Overclock: link to board
Can anyone list clearly the drivers, BIOS and any other utilities I will need when installing this board?
Thanks.

Well after a lot of reading, I've determined that the following files are applicable to my board:
BIOS
BIOS: 7025v14.zip
Drivers
NVIDIA nForce3 System Drivers: NF3_CK8S.zip
Marvell LAN Drivers: MarvellWXP69.zip
Realtek ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers: Realtek_ALCXXX_73.zip
I still can't seem to find a SATA/IDE driver as none of the ones listed are compatible with a Neo2 Platinum.
The closest I can find is the Nvidia nForce3 SATA/RAID driver for Windows 2K/XP but that is only for K8N Neo Platinum (7030).
Anyone know if this is the same driver for the Neo2 Platinum (7025) also?
Have I missed anything?
There are also lots of utilities, some of which appear to be useful, if not necessary:
Utilities
NVIDIA nTune: nTune_MB.zip
MSI DigiCell: DigiCell_MB.zip
MSI PC Alert 4: PCAlert4_MB.exe
MSI Core Center: CoreCenter_MB.exe
MSI Live Update: LiveUpdate.exe
Fuzzy Logic 4: FuzzyLogic.exe
MSI DMI Browser: DMIBrowser.exe
MSI i-Speeder: I-SPEEDER.exe
MSI WMI Info: WMIInfo.exe
MSI PasswordKeeper: PasswordKeeper.exe
MSI SecureDoc: SecureDoc.exe
MSI InfoView XP: InfoView.exe
MSI GoodMem: insgoodmem.exe
MSI Lockbox: LockBox.exe
Anyone care to comment on the usefulness (or not) of any of those utilities?

Official, non-beta K8N Neo Platinum BIOS when?

Thanks.

K8N Neo Platinum USB ports turning off?

Hi there,
I've had a K8N Neo Platinum board (in an ANTEC Sonata case, Athlon64 3200+) for a quite a while now and it recently developed a troubling new problem. Every now and then, the all of theUSB ports will simply shut off, dropping whatever devices happened to be connected to them. I have a USB keyboard and mouse, so this is a bit of a problem... If I connect a PS2 keyboard, I get a keyboard back, but it's not a realistic compromise. Also, once the ports have been dropped, trying to inspect them in Device Manager hangs the machine.
I've read through the forum and see other problems related to USB ports with this board, but nothing quite like this. I have already performed the cable snip trick for the front USB ports on the Sonata case (quite a while ago in fact, and it worked nicely) and I've already gone in the devices and turned off the "Allow this device to be turned off to save power" option. Any other ideas on what to check?
I recently added two new USB devices to the machine: an Apple USB Pro keyboard connected via a Geffen USB KVM, and the USB hub that's sitting inside my Dell 24" LCD. I'm going to try disconnecting the Dell's USB hub to try and eliminate it as a problem, and if that doesn't do it, I'll try running with a PS/2 keyboard for a while.
Anyway, if anyone else has seen this problem, I would love some assistance in fixing it.
Thanks,
--ben

AFAIK, there is no 1.B bios for the Neo Platinum (MS-7030), only for the Neo2? Am I mistaken?
