SATA II (3.0 gb/sec) on K9N Neo nForce 550?

Hi!
Have just bought a new harddrive and discovered that my old one did have a jumper setting (Seagate 320 Gb ST3500320AS) that enables the SATA II mode e.g 3.0 gb/sec.
I just removed this jumper but then my old drive did not start at all untill i applied it again. And today when cloning my old drive to the new one i removed the jumper on the new drive (Seagate 500 gb) and did the clone. Same thing happened when i tried to start, no disc and no boot. Back with the jumper and the disc booted.
My question is, must i clone a unjumpered <-- disc to a likewise disc or what seems to be my problem here? Is there a jumpersetting on the mainboard or something?
Please help

"just removed this jumper but then my old drive did not start at all "
What that means? Provide better info about the problem.
I removed the jumper that limits the 3.0 Gb transferspeed from my existing drive with my OS installed on and when trying to reboot the drive was not able to do so.
But as we speek i have gotten my old drive to work in SATA II mode It took a erase of existing partitions and a reformat then it's in SATA II.
So it seems to me that i have to reinstall and reformat my new cloned device to get the SATA II on that drive to?!?!?!?!
Does anyone have an idea for me to do this without reinstalling my whole system over again?
And i DID run the speedtest and the old one in SATA II mode was NOT faster than my new one in SATA 1 mode. But i just want it to run in the fastest mode available.
Thanks everyone who have contributed so far!

Crackling sound on Windows 7 x64 with K9N neo V 1.0

Hi
I installed Windows 7 x64 ultimate on my computer yesterday and everything worked fine except the audio, I installed the latest realtek drivers from MSI for x64 windows vista/7. But still I got the problem that it play fine and suddenly it "cracks" for less than a second and then it's like fastforwarding the missed ~halfsecond.
My hardware is:
4600+ X2 amd athlon
Ms-7260 ver 1.0 k9n neo nForce 550
6Gb of 667 MhZ kingston ram (2x2GB, 2x1GB)
GTS250 1024 mb MSI
samsung 500gb internal sata hdd (which windows 7 x64 ultimate is installed on)
q-tec 650w powersupply
The audio works perfectly in windows xp x86 and has done that the last 3+ years.
Is there a "fix" for this?
Thanks in advance

Oh man, this is quite some time ago that I could do this...
here it comes, BRASE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVERYBODY GET OF THIS FORUM NOW!!
THERE IS A FIRE HAZARD!!
A Q-TEC POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN SPOTTED!!
LEAVE NOW, WHILE YOU CAN!!!!
Man, that's quite some time ago I could do this...
I know, you may find it a bit overdone but really, a Q-Tec PSU is just one piece of junk. It's just some componetns thrown into a box and then they call it a power supply. Did you actually feel the weight of that thing? I bet you didn't. It weighs nothing, so you can't even use it as a door stop or paerweight.
Really, shut down your pc, take it out and throw it away. Be careful not to hit someone while doing that. (I mean, throw it in the bin or take it back to the guy who sold you this thing).
Get a good power supply. One with enough juice on the 12V-line. Take a psu with one 12V-rail. A good psu will cost you, but you will most certainly notice the difference.

My question is: can I use this new CPU on old motherboard?
Have anyone similiar configuration?
In this topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108896.0 someone has the same motherboard and CPU, but talking abolut PSU...
Waiting for help :-)

I was looking for a 125watt board too and its really hard to find one from MSI that have the things I want, I cant even find a board with Nvidia chipset, amd2+ and support a 125 watt processor (or not tested OK yet) or some boards without a cpu support list yet. So no AM2+ for you if you want a 125watt processor on it and a nvidia chipset. is there any reason why MSI cant fix 125watt support?
If you dont care about a future quadcores upgrade you can buy a old AM2 board, but dont forgot to look at the cpu support list, because the most AM2 boards doesnt support 125watt either. ???

That is not true, 125W support usually have high end mainboards.

MSI K9N Neo (AM2) memory troubles

Hi guys, I just got a new system which is having some issues, and I'd appreciate any suggestions on what could be wrong.
At first, the system simply crashed during OS boot. A quick test with memtest86 showed 50-60 thousand errors on a single run, so I asked at Corsairs site, got the recommendation to up the voltage to 2.1V. The memory got a whole lot more stable, but still showed a few dozen errors per run.
So, I proceeded to test the modules one by one, and found them operating well as long as only a single module was inserted (no errors on a 12+ hours run). I moved them around, tried different dimm slots, but as soon as both modules were in, there were errors ranging from a few to several dozen per memtest pass.
The system specs are:
MSI K9N Neo (nforce 550 based)
AMD Athlon64 3500+
Corsair Value Select 2048MB PC5300 kit (2 1GB dimms, 667 MHz)
Geforce 6600 video card.
BIOS settings are defaults (memory timing set from SPD) with memory voltage increased to 2.1 volt as per Corsairs suggestion.
Any suggestions? Is the MB shot, should I get it exchanged, or could there be some other problem?

Hi Raider,
I would not run in dual channel mode until you get at least one stick to run w/o errors in Memtest86. I had a similar problem with different memory but the same MSI K9N MoBo. Sometimes it passed and sometimes it did not. My two problems were (1) power supply, only 350W, so I jumped up to a 500W, and (2) memory timings. The MSI site said the MoBo has trouble with SPD timings. So try moving the mem speed down a whole bunch, like 166Mhz or 133Mhz clocking first. If it passes all mem tests, then move the clock back up and try to look up the memory timings for your memory and type them in manually in your BIOS. For me, I went from 2.5-3-3-8 2T to 3.0 5-5-8 2T and it ran forever. From Windows I used CPU-z to see the memory SPD and timings and set it to the lower settings from CPU-z to make it work the first time. This week I am taking back the memory to the store because it won't run at spec.
Good Luck

K9N Neo V3 and SATA DVD-RW, need help

Hi all!
I've got a K9N Neo V3 mainboard and a Pioneer DVR-215BK DVD-RW (which is a Serial ATA drive). The problem is, when attempting to read any disc (CD or DVD), the drive recognizes it OK - but then hangs the very moment data transfer begins, then after 3-4 attempts (i.e. read-hang-read-hang etc) starts reading, but transfer mode is set to PIO by the OS (I have Windows XP SP2 installed). I can change it back to UDMA 4, but when I load a disc the whole story repeats :( . Reading speed in this mode is not too impressive, of course.
I have upgraded mainboard's BIOS and the writer's firmware to the latest versions; tried NVidia IDE SW drivers; checked the RAM for errors; connected the writer to different SATA ports with different cables; changed RAID mode in BIOS setup - and, of course, surfed the web searching for the solution - and now I'm here... Seems like few people had quite the same problem, but I've tried what they were proposing (even disabling error control for the corresponding IDE channel in Windows registry) - with no result at all.
Here's what I have inside my PC case:
MB and DVD-RW - you already know; RAM: KingMax 2*1024 Mb 800 MHz; HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (SATA); Graphics: NVidia 8800 GS; Sound: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio; PSU: Delta 500W.
Note: SATA HDD works fine in UDMA 6 mode, without any errors. Any other piece of hardware I have also operates fine...
Hope anyone can tell me what causes this issue and what I can do about it. Is it my DVD-RW or motherboard that's faulty, or some compatibility issue, or I'm just stupid ? Thanks in advance.

The burner is not the issue , the issue is the motherboard or some simple bios settings or the bios itself .I have a K9n Neo v2 mcp 520 and it has the same problem dvd-rw under pio , i think the problem is caused by the drivers , because they just won't install
Well, that's at least something! Means I'm not alone.
Yesterday I cleaned up whatever was remaining that could have caused the issue: removed everything but vital components; uninstalled all programs that might use additional drivers (like Nero, WinCinema and such); had the RAM checked again by MemTest86+ 2.01. Well, nothing changed, of course.
Tomorrow I'm taking the system to the dealer I've bought it from (that's gonna be a challenge, we got a lot of snow here ) - we'll see what the service personnel has to tell me.
I will let you know as soon as the problem is solved.
Nestemat
In your case - what's the brand and model of your DVD-RW? Have you tried downloading the latest drivers - or maybe your installation CD is bad or a buggy installer? Try installing the drivers manually.

K9N Neo-F, just over a week old and now won't boot.

Having trouble with a new build using a MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard. I suspect my Motherboard is faulty :( and plan on sending it back to Newegg for replacement unless someone has something else for me to try. Here’s the original configuration:
MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard (MS-7260 Ver 1.0 w/ 1.3 BIOS)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (65W – 2.4 GHz Windsor ADO4600CUBOX)
Gskill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK (DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 @ 1.9~2.0V)
Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH (GeForce 7600 GT) video card
Rosewill AP-500X (3.3V 30A, 5V 45A, 12V 22A)
NEC ND-3520A CD/DVD Burner
Seagate ST3320620AS SATA2 hard drive
For the first few days, everything appeared to work ok (though I had to leave the SATA 150 compatibility jumper on the hard drive in order for the motherboard to recognize it ). After day 3, it started locking up randomly (no blue screen) and restarting automatically, both while under high load and virtually no load at all. Past day 5, it’s now to the point where it locks up even in the BIOS, and that’s only when I can get it to POST (otherwise, all I get is fan spinning and a blank screen, not even a beep).
The first thing I tried after day 5 was replacing the PSU with a Silverstone SST-ST56F 560 W PSU I have on hand for another build (this PSU is extremely well made and heavy by the way :smiley: ). I figured this 560W monster could easily power the setup above, however the setup remained as unstable as ever. I did notice in the BIOS while looking at the voltages before it locked up that the Vcore is jumping all over the place, from 1.240V to 1.372V! I’ve built a fair share of A64 setups and never seen anything like this before. It seems to point to a failure of a power regulator on the motherboard, just hope it didn’t damage my CPU as a result.
Next suspect was the memory, which I memtested overnight on another AM2 board and passed with no errors. However, I read on a few other forums that the nVidia 550MCP chipset on the board doesn’t like RAM with a Tras under 15, so I swapped the RAM for another set of Gskill I had on hand (F2-6400CL5D-1GBNQ, DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 @ 1.8~1.9V) and reset the CMOS. Unfortunately still no luck, it won’t POST half the time and when it does, it locks up less than a minute later while still in the BIOS.
My last shot was removing the 7600GT video card and replacing it with an old Matrox Milenium PCI one I had laying around. My theory was not only to eliminate the video card from the list of suspects, but also the high power draw on the board that PCIe video cards tend to have. However, it still fails to POST half the time. Does anyone have any suggestions of things for me to try before sending back? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for quick replies guys!
Bosskiller - Yes, I tested both memory kits on another AM2 motherboard (Asus M2N) for ~24 hours each and both passed with no errors. I tried setting the Vdim to 2.1 volts in the BIOS (while I was still able to get it to POST fully), but no luck. However, since it's gotten very unstable and I reset the CMOS, the Vdim is probably back at the default 1.8 volts. If I could just get it stable enough to make changes in the BIOS without it locking up, at least that would be an improvement.
BAS - As mentioned, I tried using a Silverstone 560W PSU I had on hand with no luck either, that's when I noticed the big fluctuations in Vcore. Speaking of which, are such fluctuation in the Vcore normal? I've read several contradictor forum post on the topic and don't know if this is "normal" behavior for the k9n neo-f.
Thanks again in advance.

MSI K9N NEO-F V3 Cannot install Windows 7

I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my wife's desktop computer.
The system is:
MSI K9N NEO-F V3 Motherboard with BIOS American Megatrends Inc. V2.4
AMD 64 X2 3.00 Gigahertz
2 Gigs of RAM
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
500 gigs SATA HDD
120 gig and 40 gig IDE HDDs
As it has to be a clean install, I start the computer with the Windows 7 in the DVD drive. I get loading files, Starting Widows and then the background picture (picture with vapour trails, a dove and some grass) for the "Select Language etc." screen. Then nothing, no matter how long I leave it.
Got onto Microsoft and spent 1.5 hours trying to get it to work. We even went into the BIOS, made sure the DVD drive was the first boot device. When I clicked F10 to save and exit I did not get the "Press any key to boot from the CD/DVD", it went back to the beginning of booting.
The disk is OK, it is a Microsoft disk and worked fine when I tested it in my PC.
Can anyone help, please?

Disconnect the two PATA hard drives.
Make sure the hard drive you're installing Windows on is formatted before running the setup.

K9N NEO V3 POST Beep Issue

Hello, and thanks in advance for taking the time to give this a look. (TL;DR below)
As stated in the topic title, I’ve been having issues with my PC involving POST beep codes.
Couple days ago, PC stopped displaying on monitor. A few on/off’s later, I realized the PC was beeping oddly. I looked up POST codes online, but I’m not entirely sure which set to use. I have no display to check for my motherboard BIOS and version, so I am at the moment using what is written on the actual mobo; AMI BIOS. I can hear a single beep, followed by about 8 shorter beeps. There is a noticeable difference between the first and the rest. I have already run the computer without the optical drive, harddrive, and graphics card and still found the same problem. With just the mobo and CPU, I hear nothing, but that’s because I assume my mobo will not POST without RAM, so I tried a single stick new replacement to test with and I am still getting the same POST beeps as before. I have also tried reseating my graphics card and the small round cell found on my mobo. Is there anything that I’ve missed? Or is there something else at the root of the problem.
TL;DR: My computer will not display on a monitor, and I am getting the beeps associated with POST problems. Have tried running without essential hardware and separate memory stick to no success. Unsure of how to proceed.
Here are my current specs:
MSI K9N NEO V3 / MS-7369
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor @ 2.6 GHz
OCZ Gold XTC Dual Channel PC26400 DDR2 800MHz 1GB x2 (5-5-5-12)
XFX 8600 GT XXX Edition 256 MB DDR3 PCI-E
WD Caviar Blue 160GB 7200RPM 8MB SATA (WD1600AAJS)
Apevia X-Infinity Case with Turbolink PSU (420W)
Windows XP (32bit) SP3
I’ve narrowed down my problem to either the mobo or the cpu, but that’s about it.
I appreciate your help, and if there’s something that needs to be clarified, just let me know.
I apologize if this is in the wrong section or if there’s a format problem with my post.

I figure this is the best place to ask, since its related to my issues and doesn't need another topic.
I'm looking at this Corsair 750W PSU, but the only thing I'm wondering about is lack of a P4 MB connector. I'm not entirely sure what it's used for? I'm pretty green when it comes to installing and hooking up PSUs, so I've been comparing the connectors just to make sure I don't buy a product that won't hook up to my system. Also, is there a default size? Like motherboards come with the ATX or micro-ATX form. I'd hate to buy it and find out that it won't fit in my case
First choice
Second choice
Third choice
I noticed a lot of the PSU have multiple 18A / 12 V rails as opposed to a single 12V rail with higher amps. Are those maximum values? Or will it increase as you decrease the number of 12V rails being used. Sorry for the questions, but I figure I might as well ask now while I can

Mainboard issue. (K9N Neo)

Hi everyone.
Problem is that my PC completely freeze (After 1 sec in Bootscreen or even BIOS) or after 1 hour. I then have to press on\off button. Sometimes I have to do it many times to even boot. In log it says:
IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 11, function 0.
IRQARB: ACPI BIOS does not contain an IRQ for the device in PCI slot 12, function 0.

I have a MSI K9N Neo Mainboard. PS: Where is the BIOS update for my K9N? In the MB page I only see the LiveUpdate thing, and my Windows is not stable so I wont update from there.... The direct file anyone?
I've tried to reformate and reinstall, but no help. It's HW related. Any ideas?

All temps are good. Nothing is overheating. (As far as I can see)
The Windows MemTest did not find any errors. I've also tried to change brand\sticks\slots. Nothing helps. I've also tried to UN-plug the CD-ROM and tried to change Harddrive. Also the graphic-card. Must be my MSI card... Any other ideas? What does the error message say to you? It's crappy... In the end I will give two choices:
- Dump the MSI card in the trash
- Try to update the BIOS
Even if I fail I don't care, because it's (For me) already broken. I can't use my PC anyway.

The sticky thread says this model is unaffected by the issue affecting the SLI models
but it sounds identical to me. Has this status changed? Seeing a number of posts independent

Does your pc stabile before you flashed your Bios? It's not safe to flashed the Bios using the liveupdate as it may cause the pc unstable. tried to revert it back. Used the manual way to flashed it. GD luck.

cheap module from pc world has allowed me to get post. now need to update bios to recognise the 2gb i have
Thursday 3rd August
Now have a computer that recognises the 2gb Ebuyer.co.uk memory that i originally purchased. Managed to use the 256mb from PC World to boot the machine and install windows to upgrade the bios. My mum now has a fully working PC even with the original 350w PSU that was supplied with the case.
If anyone is still having problems with this motherboard then pop down to your nearest PC World and purchase a cheap 256mb 533 ddr2 memory chip and use that it works. Make sure it is from the component store

K9N NEO-F V3 + Vista Ultimate setup with RAID1?

Hey,
I've now tried this few times without luck:
I have tried to set my computer (K9N NEO-F V3 with 2.6 bios, 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500 GB SATA drives + one IDE channel DVD-RW drive, 4 GB of DDR2-800 memory) to work from bios in mirrored mode. This works fine, I can set up the array at bios and the array shows up at Vista 32-bit setup after providing the driver downloaded from Nvidia site (15.23 driver set).
The partitioning of mirrored setup also goes OK, and the setup of the Windows until the last part, "Finalizing installation" comes in. It seems to recognise most of hardware but suddenly it just freezes and the whole computer is halted,
and it won't proceed. Also, if I hard-boot my computer at this point, the setup cannot continue the setup even the files are at hard drive.
Any advices how to go on from h ere? The installation works fine if I drop the RAID1 off and fall back to normal SATA hard disk mode.
I have tested my memory also, (The memory modules are 4x1GB Transcend memories, working well, according to MemTest86) so they should not affect to this issue.

ide DVD reader HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4522B
video pcie G70 [GeForce 7300 GT]
with that configuration works smooth (the only detail with that configuration is a message in the startup from bios about the cpuid )
My problem began when i try to add 2gb to the motherboard, i search a list of compatible memory and... i choose 2 of KVR667D2N5/1G 1GB 667MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 DIMM, and i try of put them in dimm2 and dimm3, results? some times can't boot my hard disk give errors, some times i can startup but when i start to launch programs i get disk errors, and just stop of respond, i need reboot.
1. i run memtest86 and don't report any error.
2. i take off the 2 gb KVR667D2N5/1G and all is fine again.
3. i put the original 2gb KVR667D2N5K2/2G but now in dimms3 and dimm4, and... seem works fine for a minutes, but same problem in some moment sda stop to respond and reboot again.
4. i remove the original memory and put 2gb KVR667D2N5/1G in dimm1 and dimm2, same results
5. i back to the original configuration, just 2gb KVR667D2N5K2/2G in dimm1 and dimm2 and i working without problems.
* note in every step i reset to the optimal values.
first i was thinking that my motherboard have sockets dimm3 and dimm4 damaged, but after of all that i don't know
any suggestion?
Thank's in advance

i am not an expert on your motherboard but to be honest first you must download the manual for your motherboard and go through it thoroughly and then look at the memory selection and type and make sure you have the right one in the right slot. you can also go to crucial memory and test your current memory with their software. although in the bios section i wonder if you have got your setting correct. if not sure just try enable those which are currently disabled and see the difference.sometimes you just have to try and error method as the manual is very basic and gives very little information. good luck

No video on new build K9N NEO V3

Hello all,
New build turns on, no beeps and of course no video. Stays running when is turned on just no video. All fans working (CPU, case, power, and video fans). Have tried detaching the mother board and tested with two video cards (one video card per test) and one stick of memory. Used a CRT monitor and a LCD monitor.
Here are the numbers:
msi k9n neo v3
amd athlon 64 x2 5000+ black edition
chaintech geforce 7300gt (tried other pci video card, pulled from working system)
crucial 2-1GB 6400
power supply:
dc output: 3.3v / 5v 12v--12v 5v / -12v / 5vsb
max output current: 12a / 46a 26a--26a .5a / .8a / 3.0a
32a
max combined: 230w 384w 25w
Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks for any help.

Don't know if it is that, but BIOS supports the 5000 BE from v. 2.3. Perhaps you can get help in making sure what BIOS version you got.
It does sound like Bas says processor related. Cause all required power cables are in place, right?
Why the rush in RMA-ing? You must be pretty good at computers to be able to say definitely when it is RMA time, and what to RMA... Or think you are pretty good.
I do computer support for a living but I will be the first to tell you that I don't know everything. I just don't know what else it could be and I guess I'm anxious to get my new rig up and running!! BF2 awaits me . . . It's comforting to hear someone with the same issue so that I don't feel like I'm going crazy here.

SATA II (3.0 gb/sec) on K9N Neo nForce 550?
