Fan Controlling Software Issues with K8N-Neo4-F

My mobo is a K8N Neo4-F 3.0.
1. Is there anyway to control the Northbridge and System fan using Speedfan? I searched so far without any solutions.
2. I tried MSI Corecenter for a while (the last version), and it triggers the alarms and atempts to shut down the system without any visible reason everytime the PC comes backs from hibernation. I have the latest BIOS and latest drivers on my PC. What could be wrong?

It could be the sensor is bad on the system fan or the header itself. Is it possible for the wire from the NBFAN1 to reach the CPUFAN1 and the wire from the CPUFAN1 to reach the NBFAN1?  That way we could test to see if it's the fan or MOBO header? I'm not sure this is possible, but it occurred to me as a test.  According to the manual, both headers have the same configuration and 12V feed. I think the amp specs are the same for both headers(someone that is better with electronics should speak up here). Make sure you have the CPU fan set to 100% or whatever as I'm not sure if the NB fan can or should be speed adjusted.
According to page 2-16 of your manual, it only mentions control of the CPUFAN1 header:
Quote
Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1 / SFAN1 / SFAN2 / NBFAN1
The CPUFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan 1), SFAN2 (system fan 2) and
NBFAN1 (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports
three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always take
note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black
wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System
Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with
speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
MSI Reminds You...
1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
2. CPUFAN1 supports fan control. You can install Core Center utility
that will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to
the actual CPU temperature.
3. Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at AMD® official
website.
But, In addition to finding out about this issue, I can't stress enough about getting a better PSU.

  • Issues with K8N Neo4 Platinum Socket 939 and Athlon64 3000+ Venice

    Hello everyone, I am planning a long overdue upgrade of my system. Right now I'm looking at the K8N Noe4 Platinum (non SLI) mobo with a Athlon 64 3000+ Venice CPU.
    I haven't seen any posts saying NO DON'T PUT THESE TOGETHER but then maybe I've missed something. Any comments would be appreciated, if you know if any problems that seem common between these two please let me know. Thanks!

    there is no problem with them.Just make sure if you can that it will come with the latest Bios that full support Venice core.If not ,then it is easy to update it afterwords.
    Just also make sure that with you upgrade that you will have a real good PSU more than 450W or/and with 26-35 A on the +12V rail.

  • Sound Issues with K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Over the last few days I've not been able to get any sound through the onboard line out socket in my pc. I only built it 2 weeks ago and havent noticed until the other day when I first used speakers. So for about 3 days now I've gone through ALL of the Windows Techinical Support but nothing worked, ive reinstalled the drivers several times, the onboard sound is ENABLED in the BIOS, the volume is on full, the speakers have power and are also on full volume.
    I've read countless posts on here related to my motherboard (see below), and was wondering if anyone thought that it might be to do with powersupply to the board?

    I'm sorry to be such a pain, but that hasnt helped either. I've looked at and changed almost everything, but nothing has worked.
    When I look in the program in my system tray ( NVidia NVMixer ) I can only find one button that has anything to do with digital sound.....but its for microphone input. 
    When I installed these NVidia drivers, I had another icon in the system tray which was a blue square, with a yellow circle in the middle, then around it, it had 2 yellow "(" and ")" around it, to look like sound waves.....but thats gone for some reason, and I can't find a way of turning it back on.
    My speakers are just the Altec Lansing ones that came with the family Dell computer as standard, but I've only got them plugged in whilst I sort out this problem, afterwards, I'm going to be linking my pc to my sound system.

    Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

    Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

  • Fan Control Software

    I am trying to install the new version of SMC Fancontrol on my Intel Santa Rosa MBP. When i try installing it tells me that there can be no other fan control software running. My question is how do I turn off the existing software, and/or what am I doing wrong. I want to be able to turn up the fans whenever I need to do model and image rendering.
    Thanks a lot.

    It should do that automatically depending on how hot it gets.
    If it doesn't do this run a hardware test to see if there are fan or sensor problems.
    As for the SMC fancontrol problem, no clue, maybe email the developer.

    If the contacts are in iCloud they will be reloaded to your new phone when you sign into iCloud.

  • Strange power-on (issue?) with K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Hi all, i have a new K8N Neo4 Platinum, non-sli.
    My rig:
    A643000+ winch, no overclock
    2x512MB Corsair XMS DDR400MHz
    2x200GB Seagate mirroring
    Plextor PX-708A
    BenQ DVD Burner
    AN OLD Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI  (new pci-e gfx card later...)
    A powerfull enermax coolergiant 600W ATX 2.0 power supply
    Latest official nforce4 drivers and bios
    It seems to be ok: installed winXP pro sp2 and updates, installed two Seagate in raid-mirroring with the nforce4 controller, installed some progs and utils, firewall is ok, prime95 go without problems for 1 our (more tests later), cpu temp is 34°C and sys temp is 30°C.
    CoreCenter Say:
    Vcore -> 1.41V
    3.3V -> 3.39V
    +5V -> 5.13V
    +12V -> 12.26V
    memory volt -> 2.60V
    FSB -> 200MHz
    PCI-E -> 100MHz
    cpu volt -> By-VID
    Apparently no weird things...
    When i switch-on the Pc, for some seconds(  ̃10 secs) it don't want to boot, optical drives blink repeatly and the screen is blank, like a bad overclock... But the machine isn't overclocked, and the bios is ok, i think. After 10 secs, finally it go and run flawlessly, post and other things are ok. When i reboot in win, the 10secs-issue repeat itself. So this strange thing at the post is normal? Anyone with the same "problem"? For now the rig is ok when it logon in winXP...

    Hi all my friends 
    @JER101 >>> Ehrr i mean post, sorry 
    I had unplugged the optical drives, but the problem persist. When plugged, they blink for some times and after blinking the machine go into post-phase and after it boot in the correct manner. I think the PCI card is the problem, like some of you said... I will buy one pci-e card (obviously), but i hope things are not dangerous for now 
    In the mean time, i have a new problem: emule+firewall=BSOD. I know, there are tons of post about this issue around, but the solution is unclear... Tried to disable DEP, patched WinXP SP2 with latest things from winupdate, but nothing work for me, emule and the firewall generate a crash&reboot. Tried with the Marvell LAN, too, without success.
    Any suggestions? Usefull links? If i uninstall the "NVIDIA Forceware Network Access Manager" it will work without problem with a thirdy part firewall, like sysgate?
    P.S.
    What's the problem with nvidia drivers? C'mon nvidia, solve this damned issue! 

  • Firewire/1394 devices are not auto-detected with k8n neo4 platinum

    I am unable to detect firewire/1394 devices to my PC through my K8N Neo4 Platinum. That is, I plug in the device through the firewire port and windows doesn't detect that a device has been plugged in.
    I have tried:   
    -2 firewire devices, both are Canon digital camcorders (ZR10 and ZR25MC)
    -2 different firewire cables
    -reinstalling windows, got all windows updates except
    (Microsoft Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider Package: x86 (KB909520))
    -patch from microsoft, discussed here
    (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81749.0)
    -both firewire devices using both cables connect just fine to a test computer
    -both my computer and the test computer have Windows XP Pro SP2
    Windows doesn't make the noise "bah-dum" that it has detected a device, nor does it display the dialog that gives me options of what programs to use. Once in a while, if I leave it connected for a while and come back, windows will eventually find it...or windows might bog down and get really slow. It speeds up again instantly once I unplug the firewire device. Strange, I know. Also there are NO conflicts in device manager.
    Could it be?: 
    -bios misconfiguration
    -need to use an older chipset driver (i am using most recent from nvidia.com)
    -onboard audio or front audio needs to be disabled
    -the k8n neo4 platinum simply has connection problems with some firewire devices
    (i hope not)
    Bob

    Built2Last: (good questions!)
    I tried your suggestion by removing PCI cards and made FURTHER progress. I found out that my firewire card, the Syba NEC1394-P3, has some compatibility issues with my other PCI cards. I found this out because:
    1. it worked fine after I placed it in a non-comm (orange) slot and removed my soundcard (X-Fi) and Belkin wireless modem, and
    2. a tech support representative from Syba told me that that particular firewire card has compatibility issues
    Quote
    Also, SD-NEC-4F is our older model firewire card.
    Our new firewire card (SD-PCI-4F) is using VIA VT6306 chipset and no customer complain about any installation issue so far.
    If the SD-NEC-4F still giving you trouble, I'll suggest you to return it and exchange for the SD-PCI-4F firewire card.
    At least he is honest and wants to help, so I remain impartial towards Syba.
    So I figured out the firewire card, but not the onboard firewire. Ok, but check this out! When the Syba card was working, I could plug in BOTH the external hard drive AND either of the Canon camcorders to the Syba firewire card. Windows all three devices just fine. Again, the onboard firewire would ONLY detect JUST the external hard drive, but would not detect either of the Canon camcorders. It seems as though the ball again is knocked back into MSI's court on this issue. Any ideas?
    syar2003:
    As for drivers, I checked for drivers for: onboard firewire, add-in firewire card, and Canon camcorders.
    -I cannot find where there is an MSI firewire driver for my onboard firewire port. I originally guess that it was part of my chipset driver installer, but the README doesn't say anything about it. It is also not an additional download on MSI's website. But since it detects an external hard drive I figure I must already have it.
    -The add-in firewire card does not have drivers. I repeat, they do not exist. The manual and Syba's website both state that drivers for the card are included all versions of Windows back to Windows 98.
    -Canon's website has a driver/software download page but it also appears that drivers do not exist for the Canon camcorders.
    Yes the camcorder is set to VCR mode.
    Yes the IEEE1394 is correctly installed, since external hard drive connects okay.
    I tried two DV cables and both are connected fine.
    The camcorders do not support USB as far as I can see, and if they do, I'm not using it.

  • Fan and Temperature Issues with certain apps

    Hi there
    I have what seems to be an issue with the cooling on my 2011 Mac Mini where when running some apps the cooling fams for the CPU seem not to kick in.
    To give an example I do a lot of online gaming and when playing LoTRO on my Mini when the CPU temp gets to around 78-80c mark the CPU fan ramps up to keep the CPU cool which I guess is normal however yesterday I was doing some audio recording / editing in Garageband and noticed the CPU temp was at 93c but yet the fans hadn't kicked in.
    I did a bit of research and installed SMCFanControl to monitor what the CPU fan was doing. Again using LoTRO when the CPU got to around 80c the fans ramped up to around 4800rpm and the temperature lowered yet with Garageband even with the CPU at 91c the fan was only spinning at 1800rpm. I know 90c is still below the threshold of safe operation for the Core i5 2415M CPU (which is 100c) but not by much. This is a real concern for me the hotter the CPU runs the shorter its life will be. It is unfortunate that SMCFanControl is unable to directly control the CPU Fan in the 2011 Mac Mini
    Can anyone out there can shed any light on why this is happening?
    Jonty

    Thank you everybody for your sound advice - Normally John Hammer1 I would agree with you, if OSX can do a task then let it do it and not use 3rd party software, but however in this case I don't think OSX was doing a very good job at cooling the system. To use an analogy you wouldn't drive your car with the temperature gauge constantly near the red line as it would damage your engine. This is how my MM was running when editing (of which I do quite a lot) and having a computer constantly running near its thermal limits isn't doing it any good.
    I feel (and have always felt) that my Mac Mini has been lacking in cooling and that whilst the MM is a pretty little computer its performance has always been hampered by its lack of cooling. I'd rather have a bit more noise from the fan and have a more efficient computer.
    I have installed Fan Control 1.2 and so far it is doing its stuff ok. Like den.thed I'm a bit old school, I usually keep my Macs for around 4-5 years and I want this one to last.
    Again thanks everyone for your advice.

  • Vista Sound problems with K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum

    I wonder if anyone have gotten the sound to work under 32-Bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100)? Installation of the, by MSI, provided XP driver (Creative_audio_32-64bit.zip) seam to work, and the device looks installed in Device Manager, but still no sound... Also, the icon for volume control in the icon trey detects that there is no sound card installed.
    Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

  • IDE cables bundled with K8N Neo4 Platinum--80 wire or 40 wire?

    Is the rounded IDE cable that comes with the K8N Neo4 Platinum (non-SLI) mobo an 80 wire or 40 wire cable?  How can one tell?
    I think I may be having some UDMA issues with my second hard drive (120GB Barracuda 7200.7 IDE).  I installed XP on my SATA drive with no other drives connected and then added this IDE drive.
    The rest of my setup is in my sig.
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    OK.  I checked my device manager for the info on my IDE drive.  I looked at the properties of NVIDIA nForce4 Parallel ATA Controller.
    Primary Channel:
    HD Model # is ST3120026A.  The drive set up as Ultra DMA 5 - Ultra 100.  Checked boxes are "Let BIOS select transfer mode, Enable read caching, and Enable write caching.  I did a speed test from Windows and it shows Theoretical limit of 100, Burst speed of 86.3 and Sustained speed of 58.1.
    Secondary Channel:
    DVD: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A.  Transfer mode is Ultra DMA2 - Ultra 33.  This is using a flat ribbon cable from an older computer.  The only box checked is "Let BIOS select transfer mode".
    Do these both look OK or do I need to change something?
    Then I looked at the properties of NVIDIA nForce4 ADMA Controller and found:
    My SATA drive (my boot drive) is HD model # ST3160812AS.  Transfer mode is PIO Mode.  Boxes checked are "Enable read caching, Enable write caching, and Enable command queuing.  There is a yellow triangle that says "Transfer mode downgraded".  I can't do a speed test.
    What do I need to do to operate in Serial ATA Generation 2 - 3G?  This is how this drive is supposed to operate.
    Thanks!

  • PLEASE HELP! Restarting issue with K8N SLI. need bios help???

      Hi people,
    I would really appreciate some help this this problem im having. It’s a bit long winded but ill try to keep it short.
    My pcs spec is as follows –
    MSI K8N SLI (model MS-7185) motherboard
    AMD Athlon X2 64bit 4200+ cpu
    4 x 512mb ram
    Running with a Radeon X700 256mb graphics card.
    Ever since I purchased the machine ive been having problems with the pc loading up XP (or any OS for that matter!). Sometimes it would freeze on the loading screen and sometimes it would freeze on the black screen just after the loading screen.  Sometimes while running windows perfectly normally, a blue screen with writing describing the error came up and then the system restarted, however, I would only ever manage to read the title of the blue screen as the pc restarted so quickly. I remember seeing the word hardware though,  so I guessed it was a serious hardware issue. I lived with this for a few months thinking it might be something im doing that’s making it be so unreliable, such as a software issue, but I recently went on a mission to sort it out. The BIOS of the motherboard was password protected and I wasn’t aware of this until I had lost contact with who I had bought the system off, so I decided to restart the motherboard’s settings by pressing the reset button on the board itself. Next time I booted it up it told me that the defaults were restored etc and continued to boot windows, however now I can hardly get windows to start at all, the system restarts on the loading screen 8 times out of 10, and if it does boot up fully then it doesn’t last long before crashing on me. I messed about with a few of the BIOS settings, but to be honest I have no experience with working with these settings, its all very new to me. I have an idea  that it could be the processor or the graphics card causing the problem, just an inkling though!
    If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you. Adam

  • CPU Fan Speed always LOW? -- K8N NEO4 Platinum SLI

    I'm wondering if anyone can help me out. My CPU fan speed is consistently around 850 RPM, both at idle and under full load. This is shown in the BIOS, with Corecenter, Everest, and Speedfan. I have Cool n Quiet disabled in the BIOS, CPU Fan Target in BIOS set to 40 deg (have had it at 60 as well), and Windows Power Scheme set to Minimal Power Management. I've even tried enabling Cool n Quiet to see if it actually did anything...but fan speed is still the same.
    It seems everyone else has CPU fan speeds in the thousands rpms. Mine never changes, is always around 850.
    My CPU temps vary between 37C idle and 48 load when my ambient room temps are around 75 deg.
    What's up with my CPU fan?
    EDIT: Speedfan doesn't seem to work for adjusting anything. It only shows my CPU (fan2) and NB (fan3) fan speed, but adjusting the percentages has no effect.
    My Config
