Problems with OC in MSI K8T Neo FIS2R!!!

Hi!
I have faced problems when making OC in my Athlon 64 3400+. I do not obtain to increase the FSB for 213Mhz more than without that they occur stopped or reset. I am using 1Gb (2x512) of Ram (Corsair CMX 3200LL PRO).
In the internet many stories exist that chip VIA K8T800 is not good for OC, because the AGP/PCI cannot be stopped with fixed values.
Exists some form to obtain with stability in this Mobo one overclock descent, with FSB of at least 220Mhz? The lack of stability in overclock limits the processor very, what it finishes in forcing to who knows to abandon the K8T Neo, passing to a Mobo that uses Nforce3 250, for example.
If somebody will be able to help with tips to try one overclock for FSB in 220mhz with stability would be very grateful, friends!
my system
Athlon 64 3400+ (cooler venus 12)
MSI K8T Neo FIS2R
1Gb Ram (512x2) Corsair CMX 3200LL PRO
ATI Radeon 9800XT 256Mb
120Gb SATA Maxtor 8mb buffer
Audigy 2
420W Thermaltalke
Case Lanfire Thermaltalke
Monitor LG Flatron 17 700P
CD/RW+DVD
LAN (adsl 400k) + Fax Moden (56k)

Take your sata drive off and you can overclock higher. There is no PCI/AGP lock so the speeds are affecting your sata drive. 210 mhz. system clock is about the limit before the sata drives start to act up.
The problem is with that particular VIA chipset. No way around it has been found to work in a practical manner.

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r problems part 3

    sometimes when the computer is turned on it just turns the fans and leds on but doesnt boot up...
    most of the time it loads up and i boot to the windows xp cd and i install the drivers for sata and then when it reaches the point of copying the files it will give me a bsod and say that there is a problem with the irql driver and then force me to shut the pc down..
    sometimes it makes it past that and will begin to copy files onto the hard drive, like somehow the data is becoming corrupted..however it will start to say that the files cant copy randomly and it will allow me to retry..they will copy the 2nd time usually..i can keep hitting retry and it will usually go by..it gets to 30 something % and then crashes to bsod just giving me some random error..for some reason the files keep screwing up that go on the sata drive....I just replaced the old power supply that wasnt working with an antec true watt 430 watt power supply, so i know it isnt that..
    i just cant figure out what the heck is going on..any help would be appreciated.my specs are

    fyi look an your cd sticker ity will show power, consumption, but they are way lower than you would think, hard drives,can be only 10 watts, less then some case lights , and fans, cd are  similar.. your video, is the biggy somewhere between 90~150 watts..yikes .next to the cpu..and the mobo can use 50 or so (not sure about new mobos)  not to mention the ram 1024 is @40 watts or so., dont forget about 25watts per pci card, not counting the sound card which can be double....
    ergo the need for a big psu..
    the combined total ratting on a psu is not the max number that the psu is rated, that is surge value.. so a 500 may only hold 400 sustained , and that will drop as the machine heats up, so in the end your 500 may onlyy pull 366 @50'c...

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r xp install problem

    I tried to install xp on my sata drive..i downloaded the raid drivers and put them on a floppy, it accepts the raid drivers (im not trying to use raid, just regular sata), and i select the hard drive and attempt to install to it, but the files from my xp cd keep saying something about invalid image has been installed to your hard disk (or a similar message to that)
    also part of the time the comp will not boot properly, it will just beep on and hang and nothing will show to the monitor, or if i have a disc in my cdrom when i try to turn it on it wont turn on, but then when i take out the disc and reboot the comp it turns on again..no clue what might be going on..

  • Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

    Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
    This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
    Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
    Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
    Thx Xe

    I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first.  I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo.  As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
    I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N.  My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
    Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road.  As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts.  Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
    btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\

  • Will Gainward 6800GT fit my MSI K8T NEO FIS2R?

    Horror picture on a ABIT NF7-S
    I saw this picture and saw that the card i extremely long!
    Anyone here on the forum that can guarantee that my Gainward 6800GT card (with a red gainward cooler) will fit on my MSI K8T NEO FIS2R?
    MSI K8T NEO FIS2R
    Please?  

    I think I have found out the problem  
    Using my old Enermax (350) I was able to boot up the AMD 64 2800 every time but the PSU made this weird electrical sound - I think because it was being overloaded (I think as it doesn't make this sound when used with my XP 1800). I then reverted back to my new X-Pro (460w) and after a few attempts I managed to get the ram module and CPU powered... slowly adding more fans it became harder to boot and eventually the GPU fan wouldn't run once I plugged another fan in... I'm guessing this is because my PSU is too weak to power the juice guzzling AMD  
    I'll need to break the bank once again I suppose  

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r odd post issues

    well, i went over to a friends house, pulled out his ram..put in in my computer..it posted and boot to windows..perfectly..
    so then i go into the bios and up the voltage..so that i can put my old ram back in..it stopped responding when i updated the bios becuase it set the voltage back down to default..so..
    i put my ram back in once the voltage is set to 2.75 v and it booted a few times perfectly..i unhooked everything and came home..well
    now i try to boot the pc and once again it will not boot? is it possible that the cmos got cleared when i unplugged the pc???
    i know my ram isnt bad..i ran it on a friends system while playing games for hours..this motherboard is driving me insane..someone really dropped the ball when they made these..so many issues with having to fool around with voltages etc..cant even get the damn system to post if the voltage isnt up and even then sometimes it seems to not want to ..its crazy..
    i know none of my components are NOT broken because ive stresssed them all fully in other peoples computers..
    if anyone has any clue as to how i can get this thing to post to get back in the bios plz reply..im at wits end
    my system specs are

    512mb mushkin special 2-2-2 ram (i will change the timings to the recommended slightly delayed timings but i have to actually get into the bios to make this possible)
    msi k8t neo fis2r bios 1.4

    Southmike is sooooooooo right on that one. I see a lot of folks running stuff on other computers with + results and then nothing on the Athlon64 - equipped systems. Well, I think it's O.K. to a certain point, at least to find out if an item is not defunct. But, most of the problems are RAM and PSU related. After that, I believe the BIOS is the biggest issue. And I think some of our forum readers don't actually understand the settings they mess with. I for one, do not fully understand a few of them myself! That is why it's important to make changes in BIOS one at a time.....if you are not as experienced as a lot of folks here at the forum are.

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r wont post plz help

    I recently updated my bios for the motherboard, and now I can't get the pc to post.  Before I had the pc going but it kept getting gpfs and crashing to the desktop from games..
    I was having problems with it not wanting to post before but I raised the voltage to my ram and fixed that, the problem is that when the bios got wiped from the upgrade it lowered the voltage on the ram..now i just cant get it to post at all..if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this powered up so i can change the voltage again please let me know
    I am only using one ram chip...
    my specs are

    msi k8t neo fis2r mboard
    antec 430 watt 12v - 20a
    i cant afford a new psu and i know this one is ok as my friend tested it in his identical system for 24 hours ..
    my mboard just seems to refuse to post ..i upgraded my bios and the voltage dropped because the update sets the defaults back to default..
    after i upgraded the bios, it posted once, i was in the bios and i saved some settings and restarted..i was going to go back and up the voltage on the ram again so that it would post (i had solved my problem similar to this earlier by upping the ram voltage to 2.75) but it was too late and after it shutdown it wouldnt turn back on
    also, ive tried all 3 ram slots with the chip, and ive cleared the cmos with the jumper 3 times..

    your complete specs may help .. if running two sticks of ram you could remove one stick ... you could also reset the bios using the clear CMOS jumper .. but without more detailed specs ppl will struggle to help you

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (Socket 754) and Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB)

    Hi I just ordered the following from overclockers.co.uk and wanting some confirmation that the memory will be compatible with this Mother board
    Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB) and MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R
    Thanks
    Kevin

    kevtucker,     
    I'm running the same setup up as you and have not experienced any ram related problems so far. I'm happy with it and it is very stable.
    Every ram has different settings. For the corsair 1gb value select (2x512mb) you must make sure you use these settings for the best results:
    put them in slots 1 and 3.
    use the settings 2.5-3-3-8
    set the ddr voltage 2.7
    I got that information straight from the official corsair forums:

    Good luck.

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R won't power-up

    My MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R won't power up when I switch it on. All that happens is the fans "jolt" a few millimeters and that's it  
    Using an X-Pro 460w which does work as I have tested it on this PC  
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • MSI K8T Neo FIS2R- Corsair Twinx XMS4000

    Two weeks ago I have bought one MSI K8T Neo FIS2R with an AMD Athlon64 3200+.So far I used the computer with one DIMM of 256MB DDR PC2100 memory. This morning I have installed in the motherboard a pair of CORSAIR TWINX XMS4000 which comprises of two DIMMs of 512MB DDR 500MHz memory.
       The computer did never worked again. As soon as I have turned it on, although the whole system got power the screen was blank and the motherboard did not boot. Moreover, the D-Led system of the motherboard has all its leds red which according to the manual means that the processor is probably damaged.I have never overclocked my system and before install the memory it worked perfect. I have disconnected the whole computer but the problem still exists. Can you advise me what I have to do to fix it? What is the cause of the problem? Is there any way so that I can fix it?

    Hi dude i had identical problem, bought i extra stick 512 400 ddr and the system wont start. Make sure your motheoard support the made of ram. In my case Asus did not support corsaire. Also it could be the slots which are damage.

  • Msi K8t Neo Fis2r-revision Differences

    Hi everyone,  Ive been trying to get rev 1.1 of the msi k8t neo fis2r  but with no luck. Can anyone tell me the difference between the 1.0 rev and the 1.1 rev.Is it just a bios difference or is there more to it than that.
    thankyou for any help,i find this forum most informative.

    Hi Apple Renegade,
      Thankyou for your prompt reply.I am fully aware of the 1.0 to 1.1 differences in bios. This tells me [obviously] that there ARE differences but does not tell me if it is tho  ONLY difference between the two version mobo's, that is why i came to this forum where there are people with far more experience and knowledge than myselfd.If the difference is only bios then i have no problems going with the 1.0 version and doinga bios upgrade but if there are more differences then i need to know what they are.     Regards.

  • Msi K8T Neo-FIS2R built in 1394 shows up but doesn't work?

    I have a msi K8T Neo-FIS2R, and the built in 1394 does not work.  It shows up in windows but doesnt work when plugged in.
    I have tried disabling and reenabling in the bios, and disabling almost all other things to eliminate an IRQ problem to no avail.
    I have an audigy 2 ZS also which has a firewire port, which is working, but I'd like to have access to the mainboard's ports as well.
    any suggestions?

  • MSI K8T NEO FIS2R No VGA help plz!

    Hi, ive just purchased a new athlon 3000 64 cpu retail and an msi k8t neo fis2r motherboard, the specs and problem are below but plz bare in mind i am a system builder for the last 3 years i have tried alot of things to solve this.
    MSI K8T NEO FIS2R MOBO
    AMD 3000 64 RETAIL CPU
    AMD RETAIL HSF
    1024MB DDR333 SAMSUNG RAM
    120 GIG WD HD
    GALAXY GLACIER GEFORCE 6800 GT 256MB
    PIONEER 106 DVD WRITER
    400 WATT PSU (TSUNAMI I THINK)
    Anyway the problem is this when i put the system together and turned it on i dont get any vga the monitor just says NO SIGNAL and when i look at the graphics card the fan on it isnt spinning.
    Yet i have my old setup which is as follows,
    ASUS A7N8X DELUXE MOBO
    AMD 3200XP BARTON
    AMD HSF
    1024MB DDR333 AMSUNG
    120 GIG WD HD
    GALAXY GLACIER GEFORCE 6800 GT 256MB
    PIONEER 106 DVD WRITER
    400 WATT PSU
    Basically the same as above i just changed the cou and mobo now when the graphics card is in that system it works fine no problems as soon as i try it in the new a64 system it doesnt work the fan doesnt spin and nothing comes on screen, ive tried everything i know ive double and trebble checked connections and ive tried removing components and then trying it, no matter what the graphics wont work.
    I figured the motherbaord must be faulty and am going to contact the place i got it from but it would be good if anyone here knows how to solve it if it isnt the motherboards fault.
    thanks very much.

    Thanks guys, huess what like an idiot i forgot to put the 4 pin 12v in :( doh
    Anyway it works fine now, but i have high temps core centre says 56 degrees right now while im typing this ? is this accurate or am i in trouble ?
    Oh yeah and everytime i load windows it says new hardware found ide channel then secondary ide channel then it says a problem occured during your new hardware installation and it calls the hardware HDC it says this twice aswell.
    ANy help guys ?
    thanks

  • Motherboard Monitor settings for MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R

    I'm new to motherboard monitor and there are no predefined settings available for the MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R.
    Anyone help me with the appropriate settings to monitor temps and fans?

    Lunchbox,
    Yeah I can do that - but I'm not confident of the settings or readings.  For example - the CPU temp Is only sort of correct if I set it to sensor Winbond 2 2N3904.  But after displaying what I believe is correct for a few seconds it changes to something ridiculous like 7C.  I've tried all the other board sensors listed and they either say my CPU temp is 118C or 7C.  System temp seems to work, but again I'm not sure.   Hence my post here.
    It is also odd that CoreCenter and MBM disagree about a few things.  Like the +12.00 rail Corecenter says 12.00v and MBM says 12.22V.  Or Fan 1 that is easly 2X what corecenter says.
    And if you run CoreCenter WHILE running MBM all kinds of wierdness happens - like CPU temp fluctutating wildly or CPU fan speed synchronizing and then not.
    Plus clock speed is a consistent 2001 with CC and 1998 with MBM.
    So I want someone who knows what they are doing to do the configs - clearly that's not me.
