K8N Neo 4 Platinum Sli & Athlon 64 3200
Somebody know if the mobo "K8N Neo 4 Platinum Sli" can work good with an Athlon 64 3200 (939)
Quote from: jrb357 on 10-March-05, 11:29:32
It'll work just fine with a 3200+. Just use some quality TCCD ram. If you plan OC'n some people are having some difficulty getting over a 220fsb. It seems that the newer cpu's are more prone to this, ones with a manufaturing date of under 0451 seem to OC better.
Aint that the truth!
IF you are planning to o/c then forget about this board for the moment, until a new bios is available......
That is the only downside to this board, otherwise its a very stable board!
I have corsair 4400 and cant get over 220 fsb with it....

Msi k8n neo 4 platinum sli sata issue?
hi i am planning to buy a new motherboard and i decided to buy k8n neo 4 platinum sli board. but recently i heard that it has an issue with

not heard of that one.
But it's easily sorted :-
Bios - Onboard Devices
OnBoard Sil3132 RAID
This setting controls the onboard Sil3132 RAID chip. Setting options: [Enabled],
[Disabled].
OnBoard Sil3132 Mode
This setting allows you to select either SATA and RAID mode for the onboard
Sil3132 RAID chip. Setting options: [SATA], [RAID].
just set OnBoard Sil3132 RAID to disabled.

MOVED: Looking for feedback on K8N Neo NF4 Platinum SLI, LUV THIS BOARD
This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
Looking for feedback on K8N Neo NF4 Platinum SLI, LUV THIS BOARDIm no pro but with your raid setup you need to stay with bios 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2. I understand that 3.3 & 3.4 causes problems but the new 3.53 beta bios fixes the problems in 3.3 & 3.4. See below:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=80933.120
Regarding your pcie clock, if you are using coolbits and nvidia drivers only (no MSI drivers at all), then I have used nvidia's ntune to help set the clock. For my x1 msi 6600gt, working backwards from the bus speed optimization it equalled to 106...but I am really not good at this and you should post your question under the VGA portion of this forum for a better answer to that 1 question.
However, using MSI's DOT works well too and its automated.
Btw, the pcie setting has nothing to do with your cpu/memory overclock. -

Please help! K8N Neo 2 Platinum instability problems
Hi!
At the fall of last year I bought new computer parts for a new system, the heart of it being a MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. Ever since then I have had some instability problems. I tried for a while to fix them, but after a while lost the energy and have just accepted them. Now, however, I want to give this forum a try for help. The instability is irritating and I've been thinking of returning the motherboard.
The system consists of:
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
2 x 512 MB Kingston Hyper X PC3200
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Gainward Geforce 6600GT AGP
Trust 514DX 5.1 Sound Expert Optical
120 GB Seagate SATA HD
NEC DVD-RW ND 2510A
Zalman ZM400A-APF PSU
Nothing is overclocked. I also have a Terratec TV-card that I never use.
I'm running Windows 2000. I have the latest BIOS, 1.C. I have tried many different Nforce drivers, right now I'm running MEI's nWare Release 06.05a.
The driver for the GPU is 91.28. Every other driver should be the latest there is.
The problem I have is that the system freezes up in Windows now and then. The "funny" thing is that I can run Memtest 86 for a whole day, Windows memory diagnostic all the way trough and I can play games (most of the time) for hours. I have also had the computer doing video compression for days and days, so I would say that it seems kind of rock solid. The freezes seems to happen (I'm guessing) when there is lots of communication going on over the southbridge. It often happens when the HD is working and the CPU perhaps get loaded at the same time, or for example if I'm ripping data from a DVD and starts doing something CPU heavy at the same time. That is an almost guaranteed recipe for freezing. Sometimes it freezes when I'm doing "nothing", but I guess it might also be when Windows is swapping, or something.
I remember reading about problems like this before, with other motherboards. I'm thinking that perhaps some BIOS latency thing could fix it. Perhaps a hacked/tweaked BIOS? Or is the motherboard in fact busted and needs to be returned?
Any thoughts, ideas or tips are welcome. Please help!
Thanks in advance!
. . . I'd half to agree 100% on what BAS is pointing out . . . . . . . .
........also, for kakarocht's reply for the matter as well....
.....{ my opinion = 450w at least of a PSU, and, >>> what BAS is stating about's the 12v line, YES, BIG requirement for your system's _ component's of } .......

Buying a K8N Neo 4 Platinum mobo - need some answers
Hi,
First post here, so I should say I did a search and did actually read the stickys.
Like I said, I'm getting the MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum and need to know:
1. Does it support NCQ?
2. Can I use "PDP SYSTEMS Memory Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB (512MBx2) DDR PC-3200, Model PDC1G3200LLK" with it?
(And have it working @ 2-3-2-5-T1 Dual Channel like it should without OC)
2.1 Can I use 4 dimms of this memory without going down to 333mhz?
3. I'll also get a 6600GT, DVD-RAM,DVD-ROM, 200GB HD - which PSU I should go with?
I wanted to get a TT410W, but heard I should go with "Enermax 350W EG365P-VE FMA 20/24Pin Power Supply" because it gives higher 12V rail power.
I dont plan on doing OC
Thanks in advance for your answers, and sorry about my english.Quote from: kctay on 10-March-05, 02:14:51
Chrisss,
I think that Tiresmoke's point is that your statements aren't productive, I don't see a history of you trying to ask any of the well versed vetrans here for any help regarding the stability of your system, or inherent problems with the mobo in question. You also don't even list the components that make up your system in your signature which might allow someone to help you without you even asking a valid question.
Statements like this; "I have so many stability issues it's not even funny. I have not overvlocked anything and the PC crashes randomly." simply aren't meaningful without knowing the pertenent facst surrounding your issues. Furthermore, the problems you have may have nothing whatsoever to do with the motherboard.
Sixth, this is a good motherboard for your stated needs, I run the SLI version and have nothing but positive things to say about it. I did extensive research before buying this product, and it really paid off, this is a great motherboard.
Actually yes i did ask: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=75700.0 But only one person helped me. It could be that the SLI version is more stable. Just read the posts. there are a lot of people with issues with the K8N Neo4 Platinum. Not too many with the SLI. So it's not only me. -
Hey all. About hmm, a month ago I built myself a new PC (first time I'd done it from scratch and got some useful help here) Specs were:
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum, A64 3200+ Venice, 1GB DDR Corsair Value, Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb, 40GB Hard Disk IDE, 80GB Hard Disk IDE, CD R/RW Drive and a Tagan 420W (23A 12V+) PSU.
Ok, it worked the day I built it just fine and has NO hick-ups or any indication of a problem for the past month. Running temperature was very cool etc. Now, I last turned it on about 24 hrs ago, downloaded some PDF files, shut it down. All was fine. Woke up this morning. Pressed the power button: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ZIp. No hum, fan movement, anything.
Now, considering it seems to have broken whilst being turned off. What could be the problem? So far I've tried:
* Using a different power socket
* Using a different plug
* Reconnecting the power switch and motherboard power connectors
None of those worked. There wasn't a thunderstorm or anything so I don't think any kind of surge would have been the problem. I havn't tried manually shorting the power switch connectors. What's a safe way to do that? Any other suggestions? How can I test my PSU is infact doing something?
ThanksQuote from: go_for on 01-September-05, 21:47:40
Try the easy way first, disconnect every cable from the back of the computer. Do a CMOS clear/normal as instructed in the manual. Connect the display(with power off), keyboard and power cable. Turn on PSU, press power switch, if it fires up, press and go into bios and do your settings, save and exit. Power off and connect the rest of your external stuff. Power up.

No luck :( Is it likely that my PSU has fused/broken in some way since I'm getting no response or fan movement? -
Boot Problem with K8n Neo 2 Platinum
I cant get my Computer to load the bios
Sometimes when I restart my computer it will lock up in the Bios Sign on and the only way to get it to boot through is to keep resetting the computer and turning the power off and on. It does this on a random basis, Ive also had problems with it locking up if the dynamic oc is turned on.
Has anybody heard of this happening or know how to fix it?

Problem with K8N Neo 4 Platinum
Hi I am new on this forum.
I have problem with proper configuration of the BIOS in K8N Neo 4 Platinum. My processor is Athlon 64 3000. It has 1800 clock. My BIOS makes default 200MHz x 5. It makes 1000 MHz clock. Will it be good if I change at 200 x 9?
Other thing: I tried to change at 200 x 9 but in Windows (2000) is still 200 x 5 (acc. to Core Cell). When I chanded on 200 x 7,5 all in Windows was ok. Core Cell showed 200 x 7,5. How I may resolve this problem?Quote
I have my memory in green slots. Does dual channel works in this case?
- No Green = Channel A, Purple =Chanel B use Green nearest cpu & adjacent purple slot.

HT freq. 5x
That's your HT multiplier as mentioned by Some1ne not the Adjust CPU Ratio which is the CPU multiplier.
Your CPU is running at the correct speed.
DDR Clock: 167 MHz s/be 200 - this should chnge when memory is in right slots.
Change memory over & let's have a look @ those settings then.

250GB harddisk work in MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum
Hi!
I have a pair of WD 250GB SATA2 16MB cache harddisks (WD2500KS).
Currently they don't work in my Asus A8N-SLI DLX (BIOS messes up LBA and CHS setting with them)
(smaller 120 and 160 GB hdds work flawlessly in that mobo)
So i am considering to switch to MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum.
can anyone confirm these babies would work in that mobo?
Are there any known issues with higher capacity harddisks on MSI nforce 4 boards ?
also i hear that the chipset fan is very noisy. Is that true?
The other option would be the Abit A8N Ultra which has the heatpipe design but i am not so comfortable with Abit, since there are too mayn rumors about them.
Any ideas?not heard any thing with nvidia
there is a thing with some via

Quick Question MSI K8N NEO 4 PLAT SLI
Hey guys,i am new to this forums just needed some help, i am about to purchase a:
AMD 64 3000 VENICE
LEDTEK 6600 GT PCI EXRESS GDDR3
CORSAIR VALUESELECT 1GB RAM DUAL CHANNEL
MSI K8N NEO 4 PLAT SLI
EPOWER 450 WATT PSU
i was wondering woud i need to update the bios 1st or will the stock bios that comes with the motherboard will work with the venice. I am getting all these parts from Zip Zoom Fly, accept the PSU. Thanks for your help.Quote from: Dream_true on 28-June-05, 08:14:40
Only BIOS 1.4 and above support Venice & San Diego. However BIOS 1.4 has shut-down issue with RAID. It is suggested that you let your reseller help you flash BIOS to the latest version 1.5. After flashing BIOS, Loading Optimized defaults is needed of course. Good Luck!
Support new features in that cpuid yes. But that is not the same as you are not able to boot/post your system
with an earlier bios .
I booted up a venice on a K8N Neo2 with an aged 1.3 bios (with no venice SD support) just fine .
If the bios supports 90nm cpu it will post .
New CPUID added means :
Shown on post (display)
And e.g new model spesific features (like e.g SSE3 ) enabled .
Use the CPUID instruction to properly identify the processor.
• Determine the processor type, stepping, and available features by using functions 0000_0001h
and 8000_0001h of the CPUID instruction.
• Boot-up display - The processor name should be displayed according to the processor name string
defined in CPUID Guide for the AMD Athlon™ 64 and AMD Opteron™ Processors, order#
25481.

MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Smart CPU Fan reports 0 rpm ?
Hi
I have a MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum (MS-7125) motherboard with an Athlon 64 3700+ CPU and an Arctic Cooling Silencer Ultra 64 HSF.
In the BIOS setup, in the 'Monitor H/W' area you can set something called the 'Smart CPU Fan Target'.
o If I set this to disabled, it reports a fan speed of about 2,280 rpm.
o If I set it to 40°C, it reports a fan speed of 0 rpm ! (the fan is turning)
The MSI Core Center utility and Everest Ultimate also both report the fan speed as 0 rpm.
I assume that if I disable Smart CPU Fan, the fan always rotates at max. rpm; if I set it to 40°C, the fan runs at a slow speed until the temperature exceeds 40°C, at which point it speeds up (likewise if I set it to 50°C or 60°C). However, the fan IS turning.
Can anyone explain this ? I would like the reassurance of having the CPU HSF speed reported.
Incidentally , the PSU is an Akasa AK-P460FG
(3.3v = 30A, +5v = 30A, +12v1 = 14A, +12v2 = 15A)Very old post yes but I feel the need to reply anyway because I have the same problem myself.
Very strange and would be nice to hear if any more of ya guys out there can see the same.

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. DOn´t boot
I have a problem with my MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. Yesterday I started to mount my computer and when I finished to install everything the computer does not bind. It swims happens, the Motherboard this not obtaining to receive energy . Until my Power Supply it is not functioning, does not receive energy! Somebody has some Idea of that it can be happening? Power Supply: Seventeam ST-420bkv Processor: Athlon 3000+ venice. OBS: All the components are new.Well it wasnt the battery
The one I pulled from the board was reading 2.68v, the new one is reading 3.17v, but the problem remains :((
BUT, I discovered if I hold the case power button in while switching the PSU on fom the back that the CMOS details are fine after all?!?! Not pressing the case power button results in the no boot problem. Maybe the switching that disables the battery when the AC is on is broke ???
Its a weird one alright but I can live with it till my next upgrade - which wont be MSI - too many bugs. I have a Gigabyte board in my second PC and its rock solid, dual BIOS and never had a single problem with it - maybe that or ASUS next time round )
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
Would still like to know what the flashing led error is though??
many thnx for all the input guys.

K8N Neo 2 Platinum - installing xp problem
Ok guys i just installed a new K8N neo 2 platinum with a 3200+ s939 chip. Now i ran off the xp cd and i told it to format as ntfs, it did that fine and dandy. Now after that it starts to copy windows xp files and it does that fine, now it comes to the point where it has to restart for the first time. So i restart and after i let it go past the part where it says "Hit any key to boot off cdrom" or whatever, then it comes to booting off the harddrive and it says "operating system not found"

Could the difference be because you have the neo and RC1 whereas I have the neo2 (1.4 BIOS) and RC2?
Don't think so most likely difference between destination drives, yours is a sports car, fast when it's running but quircky, mine's a transit van works even when old & abused.
Have you checked Western Digital Jumper Settings Pata & Sata even new drives have been known to have been jumpered wrongly.
Onlly other maybe relevent thing I burned my iso at x8 to try & maximise cd quality, have seen a few pps with xp64 cds they couldn't boot from on the ms 64 newsgroup. Don't know if your cd may have been slightly screwed if thats the echnical word for it -
K8N NEO 2 Platinum sometimes doesn't initialise the keyboard and mouse
I got a K8N NEO 2 Platinum for christmas, and everytime it reboots (fine when you turn it on fresh), it produces the shortest of bleeps, and doesn't initialise the keyboard and mouse. The only way to do anything then is to go for the power button and windows xp shuts down. It is still responding, just the bios hasn't initialised the keyboard and mouse.
Anyone know anything about this, and how to solve it?ok, thanks
