865PE Neo 2 any comments?

I am thinking of buying one of the new 865PE Neo 2 MSI motherboard to run a 2.4 800mhz, has anyone had any problems or success with the board.  just reading some of the treads on the 875 Neo it appears MSI had stuffed things up quite bad this time.  another thing is the so called new feature of "dynamic overclocking" on the new neo 2 boards, is that a good thing or bad thing?
my planned systme at the moment is:
MSI 865PE neo-2 S
ati 9500
2.4 800mhz
seagate 120G serial ATA 8mb cache
cheers.

I am already running my system based on 865PE Neo2-LS and i am absolutely satisfied with its stability and overclockability. Only one problem i ecpected at the moment is, that my system fails to boot from external PCI
Controller based on Highpoint HPT370 chipset (built by ABIT - type: HOT Rod
100). If no Hard Drive installed on Onboard ICH5 controller, it is possible
to normaly boot from RAID 0 through PCI controller. If any Hard Drive on
Onboard ICH5 detected, booting from external RAID fails even if in BIOS is
selected "Legacy SCSI" as first boot Device. All attemts as moving RAID
controller to another PCI slot, disabling onboard Serial ATA Controller
failed. After booting from another HDD connected to ICH5 RAID 0 is visible
in Windows and working properly. I received from MSI beta bios version 121 and to be honest i am rather disapointed to use them before official release. Do you have some another expactations and comments to this board? Did anyone from you try this beta bios? Is it working properly?

  • 865PE Neo-PFISR Stable in Prime 95----but won't run the 3DMarks at all????

    I don't get it.....
    This board (865PE Neo-PFISR) is VERY stable in Prime 95-----yet I can maybe get through the first test of any of the 3Dmarks----and PCMark will always fail as well.
    I even reverted to STOCK, default settings.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled the 9700Pro drivers (Cat 4.4s)---also uninstalled and reinstalled the benchmarks.
    Upped voltages for everything....
    It's like it hates my 9700Pro which is a Rev 1.3 card and I've never had it not get along with everything.
    Anybody had problems with 9700Pros and this or a similar P series or other MSI board???
    Suggestions??
    Solutions??
    Thanks-----John

    Tried ATI's 9700Pro----and was scared to death of ATI's drivers....
    But----put the thing in----loaded drivers and......viola----the thing ran beautifully----the graphics were gorgeous----and I've not gone back to Nvidia since.
    My ATI 9800Pro is superb and my 9800XT is outrageous.....
    But I get tired of the same companies after a while and will probably try an Nvidia PCI express card----whenever they come out and PCI express is solid.
    I LOVE the competition between the two companies.....better for all us enthusiasts!

  • 865PE Neo Stability issues

    Having stability issues aswell as electrical ones.
    First off, System specs, Not OC'ed.
    865PE Neo-l (6742)(BIOS 1.1)
    512Mb 333DDR
    P4 2.40C
    Asus V9560 FX 5600 (AGP 8x)
    Q-Tec 400W Dual Fan Gold Low Noise (http://www.qtec.info/13352)
    Maxtor 120gb 6Y120L0, 32bit transfers on.
    WinXp Pro, 1 partition, SP1, Latest patches from windowsupdate.
    Problem:
    System is highly unstable while it is under high load, running demanding apps or games like Battlefield 1942 ( BF1942 patched to v1.4, DirectX 9.0b).
    Time between lockup's is 10-15 mins. Much earlier though if
    system has been running for awhile.
    1.
    Cpu temp rises to 68 degrees celcius under load, dont
    know if this is normal. Idle 59 degrees. System temp stays around 34 degrees.
    2.
    PC Alert 4 latest version warns 3.3v too low.
    Red letters indicate 2.93v. System has been tested with
    another PSU, same response.
    3.
    Disabled onboard AC97 sounddevice in BIOS. BF1942 still locks up.
    4.
    Tested both with ASUS (Win2KXP_4471A) and NVIDIA drivers (45.23_win2kxp_international).
    5.
    BIOS Defaults, System tested with both Optimal and Failsafe settings.
    6.
    Tested swap memorysticks, from 1xVM 512mb -> TwinMos PC2700 CL2.5 256MB x2, No positive results.
    7.
    PC Alert 4 report system fan runs 2340rpm. vcore=1.47. +5v=5.00, +12v=11.34.
    Added extra casefan to help pushning out heat, no avail.
    What may it be? RMA only option?
    TIA for any help.

    Ok, here are the voltage readings from BIOS
    VCore 1.456-72
    3.3V  2.944V
    +5V   5.113V
    +12V  11.437-98V
    -12V  11.825V
    -5V   4.926V
    Battery 3.088V
    +5SB  4.896V
    (The numbers after the hyphen '-', indicate a switching value)
    The multimeter reading at a molex (yellow cable) says approx +11.79V at Win XP desktop idle and 11.68V under the game. Red cable on molex shows 5.12V while idle, no drastic change under load.
    Just curious, how are the general opinions about electrical
    readings. should they never go below the voltage they must
    feed? Or is there room for some margin the voltage can go
    below?
    Havent yet tested changing videocard, will do that. Having no temperature sensors, cant check easily vga card temp.
    btw, 'Apic Acpi SCI IRQ' isnt enabled in bios, is this essential?

  • How to connect dual channel ram on a msi 865pe neo-2 plat.edition ?

    hi....
    can any one tell me how to connect the RAM as dual channel on the MSI 865PE Neo-2 p Platinum Edition ?
    i did like what is written in the manual but nothing happened it only works as a single channel....
    the RAm is 2x512 spectek DDR400 PC3200....
    pls help me.............

    Franknputer is right.
    All systems that I build for my gamers runs in Dual Channel and the combo is 1 + 3 or 2 + 4 or 1 + 2 + 3 + 4. 1 x RAM in Channel A and 1 x RAM in Channel B minimum will give your Dual Channel Linear Mode message during startup and you know that you are running Dual Channel.
    Next, it is always recommended to have the same make and model and capacity of the RAMs if you want to run in Dual Channel.

  • 865PE Neo 2 Computer powers on after shutdown

    After installing the "Intel INF Update" and the "ADMtek Network Drivers" drivers, my computer now automatically powers on about 5 seconds after I shutdown. It was OK before that. Any advice on how to fix this??
    System Config
    CPU: Intel P4 2.80C
    RAM : Kingston DDR400
    MB : 865PE Neo 2
    VGA : Hercules 3D Prophert 9800 Pro
    Sound : Creative Audigy
    Power : Antec Truepower 480W
    OS : WinXP Home

    Yupz  :O Every single time.. Now I have to cut the mains to prevent the system from booting up.
    The weird thing is the auto boot up problem doesn't happen if I switch on the mains back on after 1 minute. Is this a motherboard problem or a XP problem??

  • 865PE Neo-2 Drivers?

    Got this comp from a friend, installed a fresh Windows 7 on it and didn't find any sound drivers?
    865PE Neo-2 is what it says on the motherboard, I have been searching all day for this and can't find anything, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    get the cmedia xp driver and try it in compatability mode
    This message pops up when I try that one, running it in XP SP3 compatibility.
    Is it possible something isn't hooked up right in the computer?  I am really at a loss here, would it work if I reformatted with XP?
    Quote from: Jack on 08-March-11, 16:17:39
    Well, ancient piece of hardware + latest operating system = likely to cause such issues
    Yeah I completely understand but it still sucks, what do you think about reformatting with XP?  Would the drivers be easier to get working?

  • MSI 865PE Neo 3-F + Intel P4 640

    Hello,
    I have a problem with a MSI 865PE Neo 3-F motherboard combined with an Intel 640 cpu.
    I cannot install Windows XP SP2, everytime at 35 minutes remaining, the computer resets itself.
    First I had bios v5.0, and couldn't flash to v5.2, after using a Intel 520 cpu I could flash to v5.2, but the problem remains.
    Tried several ram-modules, hdd, vga-cards, psu's, ...
    Anyone know if there is a solution for this ?  Maybe a new bios-version or beta-bios ?
    Thanks,
    Jan

    Two things you could test;
    Run memtest86 for any mem.errors ( you can do this by creatings a DOS disc and boot from floppy )
    http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
    Not sure about the 410w chieftec - Is that a ATX2.0 PSU with 24pin connector ? ( 12v1 =15amp + 12v2=18 amps)
    Do you use a 24-20 pin adapter ?
    If I´m correct, your MoBo still got the 20-pin MoBo + 4-pin cpu powerconnector, and too be sure about the power issue, I would have prefered a PSU with some 450w and a singel 12v line with minimum 22 amps on the 12v line. The newer P4/ Prescott cpu´s needs a lot of 12v power.- Be sure that both 20pin and 4pin are firmly in place on the MoBo.
    Most highly recommended PSU´s are Enermax, Antec, Tagan, OCZ, but there are others as well as long as you avoid the cheap ones -
    PS - about mem.voltage it would be 2.7v not 1.7v as you wrote, but assume this was only a typingfault.

  • All Java Processes crash on RH Linux 7.3 / 6.3 without any comment

    We have the following Problem on two Machines. We installed j2sdk1.4.0 first, then jdk-1.3.1_04 (Because of other Problems with 1.4.0).
    Now all running java Processes crash after up to two hours without any comment, any error file. Looks like they were killed by the 'kill' Command. The running java Processes are different Programs, that do very different things.
    The OS on the two machines are RH Linux 7.3 and 6.3 - normal installation without any essential changes.
    I would be very happy, if someone have an idea, how to solve this Problem. If you need additional Information, ask for.
    Holger

    ... if someone have an idea, how to solve this Problem.Seems like I remember seeing a problem like that.
    It turned out that indeed it was the 'kill' command. Another process was running, looking for the app, and killing it when it found it.
    We spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out why our app was 'crashing' before deciding to look elsewhere (when we discovered the other process.)

  • Why can't I enlarge safari bar and bookmarks bar so the print is larger.  I can only do this if I change resolution on display.  I do not want to make my 27" smaller.  Any comments?

    After just installing Mountain Lion on mid 2011 iMac 27" I find it does not allow increasing size of font for Safari bar and Bookmarks bar.  The print is so small it is difficult to see.  I can change resolution of screen but the the size of the screen becomes smaller.  Not what I had in mind when I bought this iMac.  Is there any fix out there and is Apple working on this problem?  Any comments would be appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Uneconomical to replace the logic board in 2009 Mac Air. Any comments please?

    I have a 2009 Mac Air which has been found to have a faultyskin sensor. I was advised that it would be uneconomical to replace the logic board. I would appreciate any comments.

    What was the repair cost quoted? Compare amount to the typical selling price of a similar model on eBay. I suspect the repair will cost very close to, if not more, than the selling price. If so consider, selling it for parts and buy a new or refurbished one.
