865PE Neo2-LS and the XP-120

hey all,
i was just wondering if anyone who has the 865pe neo2 LS version of the board have the xp-120. on thermalright's site it says it doesn't fit, but when i emailed the customer service, they said that it fits. so anyone who knows about this or has it installed on their LS, please let me know so i can get one. Thank you in advance.  

I heard from some people here that it fits if you bend the capacitor or something like that but i am not 100 per cent sure.

  • [Other 865 Series] MSI 865PE Neo2-V and Dual Channel Mode Question

    Hello, I have a quick question regarding dual channel mode with my current motherboard. I have an MSI 865PE Neo2-V and am wondering if it is possible to enable dual channel mode while having three RAM modules inserted in the motherboard.
    For example, I currently have one 512MB PC3200 module in my computer. If I purchase another 512MB module and run them in dual channel mode, will it be possible to buy a 1GB module or another size module, and still have all three slots run in dual channel mode? Or is dual channel only operational on this motherboard if only two of the three slots are occupied?
    Thanks.

    Dual channel requires an even number of sticks.

  • Running GeForce 8800 GT and the GT 120 together, any advantages?  Safe?

    Hey everybody, I just took the risk and bought a GT 120 card for my early 2008 Mac Pro (to run the new cinema display) and thankfully everything is working fine! I guess running the GT 120 on older macs isn't technically supported.
    In any case, on to the main question: I know the GT 120 isn't quite as good as the 8800 GT, so I took another risk and decided to see what would happen if I left the 8800 GT in slot one and put the GT 120 in PCI slot 2. I booted it up, and everything seems perfectly normal. I have the cinema display and a smaller samsung plugged into the GT 120 in slot 2, and system profiler shows both video cards installed correctly (nothing is plugged into the 8800 GT). My question is whether having these two cards plugged in is both safe, and advantageous in any way. I have the 8 core model from early 2008 with 8 gb of ram. Is my mac able to take advantage of these 2 different video cards? Any chance they could overtax the system? Is having the 8800 GT in slot one and the GT 120 in slot 2 the best layout?
    Any tips or advice would be great!

    Thanks for the info!
    I had to buy the new card because the older 8800 GT doesn't have the mini display port that the new 27" cinema display requires. As far as I could determine, you can buy an adaptor to plug a DVI monitor into the mini display port, but you can't buy an adaptor to plug the 27"'s mini display port into a DVI port on a video card. It looked like there were some converter boxes available out there, but many were around the same price as the GT 120, and received mixed reviews. In any case, with the 8800 GT plugged into the main slot and the GT 120 plugged into the second slot with the monitors, is the 8800 GT even being used for graphics processing (After Effects, Cinema 4D, etc.)? Does it get bypassed altogether because the monitors are plugged into the GT 120?

  • 865PE Neo2-FIS2R and Geil memory problem

    With 512MB (2x256) of Corsair XMS 3700, the system is perfectly stable (runs 24/7 crunching for UD, also have done Prime95 torture test).
    With 1-GB (2x512) of Geil PC4000 Ultra Platinum, the system is very unstable.  It usually won't even boot fully into Windows without a BSOD (which vary) or if it does get into Windows it crashed soon thereafter.
    If I put the Corsair memory back in (like I have them right now, to be able to use the system to post this message), the system is back to 100% stable, so it seems to be entirely a memory-related problem.

    Have run MemTest standard test on the Geil modules individually and as a pair, and have tried different slots.  Testing thus far shows no errors when each module is installed separately, but when used in a pair there are sometimes errors shown.
    Have tried the modules in slots 1,3 and slots 2,4 with no difference.
    Have tried setting DDR voltage from 2.70 up to 2.85v for the Geil (approved up to 2.9v) with no apparent change in stability.
    Have tried changing Spread Spectrum setting between enabled and disabled.  Disabled seems to be better, but problem remains.
    Have tried using SPD disabled with settings listed above, and SPD enabled (which sets timings at 2.5-4-4-8,8).
    Edit: I'd asked for advice, but then realized that the very limited timeframe in which I could return the Geil would expire if I waited beyond business hours today.  So I've RMA'd the Geil and have ordered a 1-GB Corsair TwinX XMS 3700 pack instead.

    I've had similar problems to you but with Corsair TwinX LL's and if you read back a month in this forum you will see others have also with various memories on the 865 FISR.
    The fix I found was Kingston memory but others have had problems with Kingston.    There was a thread running a week or two ago attempting to document successful memory mobo combinations.
    Bottom line, stick with what works on your mobo until MSI fix the incompatability/instability issues.

  • MSI 865PE Neo2-V and 1GB RAM stick, compatibility?

    Hi all,
    I've just bought a new mainboard, the MSI 865PE Neo2-V... I read that supports up to 3GB of DDR333, so now I want to buy 2 new RAM modules.
    These modules has the specific:
     - 184 memory pins
     - 1GB RAM
     - PC2700 DDR 333MHz
     - 2.5 Module
     - Non-ECC, Non-Parity
     - CAS latency 2.5
     - 128 x 64 High density
    Can I mount these RAM on my motherboard? On the photo, the RAM has 16 chips of ram; it seems to be "High density" RAM.
    Thanks,
    Alessandro.

    Romulus76, the answer is YES for the chipset; but NOT SURE for the BIOS. I must ask MSI.

  • Zalman CNPS7000-CU & 865PE Neo2 FIS2R

    I was just wondering if there is enough room for this cooler.
    Cause the Northwood cooler (the one with the LED's) is kind of big.
    If you use have this board (865PE Neo2 FIS2R) and the cooler (Zalman CNPS7000-CU) then please tell me the idle/load temps for it, and please include which BIOS version (1.0 - 1.3) you're using.
    Thanks for your help.

    Well bought it - installed it - and it was hmm easy - other then I needed some help from my mum - or a third hand to screw the screwdriver while I pushed the thing down - other then that it went like a charm...
    And my temp went down to bellow 30 C with 5V ( Arctic Silver III ) but then I put in some noise dampening matterial in my case and now its arround 45 C :(
    SIGH ---
    Next I will remove the NB fan and since it aint got no screw holes I have to glue the replacement heatsink to the NB --

  • 865PE Neo2(6728) D-Bracket hangs at Memory Detection Test

    This is terribly annoying... I just bought the mother board... Its a 865PE Neo2(6728)800mhzFSB the processor is P4 2.4ghz 800mhz, 512k l2-Cache.  I dont know who made it like i know nothing about northwood or whatever, it says Intel on the box...  I have 512MB of "Legacy Electronics" PC3200 64x64 DDR...  I also just bought a NVdia G4 Ti-4200 64mb DDR 4x AGP made by Pixelview.  I have a 160GB WD 8mb Cache 7200 HD...  Ok the problem is when i go to boot up the computer, the VIDEO doesnt come on, and when i installed the "D-Bracket" the lights hang at 3 light, top right green all other red... Says in the manual that problem is memory detection test, testing onboard memory size,  will hang if damaged or not installed properly.  Ok.  I have no idea how that wo;uld happen so, just to check i took out RAM, no dice, i changed video cards to MX440 G4, no dice, i tried disconnection the PCI slot which has the 160GB hard drive connected(why it needs this i dont know, according to WD WinXP needs...) none of this changes anything.. How do i check the onboard memory or could it be anything else?  Ok thats all i have thanks for the help!!

    Did you tried to boot up the system without the D-Bracket?
    Yes it still does nothing, no video...  Thats why i put in the D-Bracket.  It doesnt sound like its going through the POST either.. I dont know if computers do that anymore thou;gh haha..
    If you did, did you change to another piece of RAM to test?
    I have no more DDR to put in, only SDRam and im sure that wont work..  I tried moving to different slots, 1 3 and 4 thinking maybe it was backwords i dunno...  Didnt do anything, and you USED to be able to take the ram out and still boot into bios etc...
    Did you change any settings in your BIOS?
    I havent even gotten video, nada... Black screen.
    What is the wattage of the PSU you are using now?
    Where do i find the wattage? The watts on the case is uh... 350 or 400 one of the two... The case says USB Deluxe P4 Case... And the watts on the Power supply is 115 if thats what you were wondering... Hope that answer the question

  • ~HELP!~ WINXP WON'T BOOT ON 865PE NEO2-LS

    Hello, I just purchased the MSI 865PE NEO2-LS and an MSI FX5600. I wrote zeros to my hard drive and when I try to boot from the Windows XP CD or floppy this is the result:
    "Line 613 of the INF file i386   xtsetup.sif is invalid Setup cannot continue."
    Each time I reboot the line number is different (734,575,2983...) I tried two different copies of XP and Red Hat Linux, None would load. Please Help! Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated. Thank You.

    Change that power supply, cheap 300 watt power supplies arent going to cut it on this board. Try lowering your ram to slow and try installing windows again, that might help.

  • 865PE Neo2 LS no boot after BIOS update

    Hi
    I just updated my AMI BIOS from 1.0 to 1.3 for my 865PE Neo2 LS using the method described in the BIOS support page for NTFS file system. Now my PC wont boot.
    I was extremely careful to follow all the instructions on the support page....and i did wait untill I got the "flash complete" message. I dont know what i did wrong
    any idea how I can get this to boot again?
    is my motherboard basically worthless now?

    well I tried this method to get my BIOS to work
    Quote
    per the msi website:
    BIOS Recovery Feature
    For AMI BIOS
    1. Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
    2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
    3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
    didnt help me
    does anyone from MSI look at these forums? ...or is this just were customers exchange info?

  • Need help flashing 865PE Neo2 BIOS

     I recently bought a MSI 865PE Neo2-S and it came with the 1.2 Bios, I can't get a good overclock from this bios, and when I use corecenter to raise the FSB to 250 at 5:4 ratio it shows 3000 mhz but I see no changes in WCPUID etc, so I decided to flash to the 1.52 BIOS, i've already got it here but I hear you can use a flasher instead of doing the old floopy, dos thing
     I downloaded LiveUpdate3 but it will flash my BIOS to 1.4 and I just want to install 1.52
     I did a quick search around the forums and didn't find much about it, any help would be appreciated

    First of all I suggest that you install LIVE MONITOR and LIVE UPDATE utilities.  Secondly, get yourself a new floppy disk.  Allow utility to go online and retrieve updates for your product.  After that the utilty will tell you what it found. follow directions to the T and install any NEW DRIVERS BEFORE YOU DO ANY FLASHING!!! Reboot new drivers run utility (LIVE-UPDATE)and choose BOIS and start. I recomend you select DOS option over WINDOWS option FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IT WILL PROMPT YOU.. DO NOT!! REBOOT!! UNTIL PROMPTED!! GOOD LUCK!  Sean Reilly875

  • 865PE Neo2-P Platinum Edition and P4 3.2 fsb800 memory and colers

    Hello guys is my first time in this forum
    I buy a MSI 865PE Neo2-P Platinum Edition and a P4 3.2 Box Northood Fsb 800 with the cooler on.
    My question is what Cooler is better than the box one from Intel?
    What 512 memory are work perfect on this sistem?
    thanks
    Paulo

    hi Tritek,
    welcome to the forum.
    1. do your system have problem with heat? What is the CPU temperature read? Is the stock fan too loud for you? There are lots of cooler out there, expensive one especially, are way better than Intel stock cooler. But do you need better cooler?
    2. any 512MB DDR works. To work "perfect", you need DDR400 to fully utilize it.

  • 865PE Neo2-PLS users running on Prescott 3.0Ghz and above please come in

    It's showing garbage for the cpu voltage in my bios and for those who read my previous posts know what I mean as I had posted the pictures before. I have flashed with different bios ver, tested using different psu, graphics, rams but no luck. Tested using different cpu on my mobo, the voltage showing correctly but they are northwood as I can't find spare prescott to test on my mobo.
    I just called intel support to RMA and told them it's problem with the processor but I can't convince them 
    They want me to test my cpu on another mobo to test it out first but I can't find a spare 1 
    Anyone experienced garbage reading for cpu voltage so far using this mobo with prescott 3.0Ghz and above? Thanks 

    Well sad to say I forgot to ask them at the distro center haha coz I thought the problem lies on my mobo and hoping to get 1-1 exchange but when they showed me correct reading for the voltage when they tested my mobo using other cpu, I'm lost trying to figure out what could be the problem you see...
    I did mail them today asking did they test my mobo using a prescott but I guess the earliest I can get their reply is tomorrow as they are closed today. Well I might be paying them another visit and ask them to test my prescott on other mobo as well the it's far from where I'm staying 
    Anyway now I just want to know if any users using this 865PE Neo2 P series mobo showing garbage for cpu voltage when using prescott 3.0Ghz and above to confirm. I guess I'm the only 1 so far haha

  • Problem with NIC and Firewire on MSI 865PE NEO2-PFISR

    Hi, I have lots of trouble getting the network adapter on the MSI 865PE NEO2-PFISR to work.
    The NIC's LED indicators doesnt even light up when I plug in a network cable,
    and in windows (win 2003 server) it doesnt find the adapter at all.
    The NIC is displayed in the bios, and I have the option to disable it,
    but it is enabled.
    I have even reinstalled windows 2003 server to try to get the NIC to work.
    I have upgraded the bios to v3.8 via live update, with no problems, although the
    firewire-option on the same page in the bios is still gone, it doesnt detect the
    firewire at all(!).
    I have also tried several other NIC's (a 3COM 3C905B TX and a 3C905B TX XL
    PCI adapter). The 3C905B TX worked fine for a while, and then it started saying in
    windows that a network cable was unplugged, and began to try 10mbit, 100mbit
    lots of retries, now it doesnt work at all.
    I swapped tp-cables and changed the ports on the network switch (which there is
    also other computers attached to which doesnt have any problems) and that didnt
    made any difference.
    It seems that the whole pci bus is long gone, and maybe the onboard NIC is
    attached to this same pci bus?
    Strange also about the firewire-controller which isnt detected anymore.
    The USB devices work, and even a 3com usb wlan adapter works well.
    I have tried to reset the bios several times without that making a difference.
    Anybody have a clue to point out here?
    Cheers!

    I returned the motherboard to the reseller and got a new motherboard as a replacement. This doesnt have all the same problems. At first it didnt post at all, indicating to red lights on the diagnosis.
    Then I was so pissed I hadnt touched the computer in a week, and just tried to use it a few days ago, and it seemed to work all ok. I used it for a few hours, and then it locked up.
    When I powered it up again, the lights on the integrated adapter was out. At first it seemed to work to take the agp card a little out of its slot, as if it was unaligned or something. Used it for a few more hours.
    Then I plugged in the sound cables (5.1 sound with 3 cables), and with the last cable, the network darkened out AGAIN!!
    In the bios it still indicates that the network is enabled, firewire is enabled etc.
    I twisted the network cable, and for a few microseconds I get a orange light, not the usual green light. Now this has stopped too.
    I see other also have problems with these symptoms so I guess I've got another black monday card.
    I will return this card too, and ask the reseller to get a card of another brand.

  • How to put the Zalman NB47J into 865PE Neo2 ???

    Hi,
    I decided to get rid of part of the noise that my PC makes and I bought a Zalman NB47J  to replace the NB heatsink. Then I noticed that the 865PE Neo2 LS doesn't have holes to fix the NB heatsink. Instead the use a kind of a clip attached to the heatsink and two metal archs attached to the mainboard to get the heatsink fixed on top of the NB. But Zalman's heatsink doesn't have a clip  
    Ok. No panic. In the Zalman's installation manual it says that if one can't fixate the heatsink using the supplied bolts then one must use the mainboard's fixture mechanism.  So, I went to the task of getting the clip out of the original hetasink.
    After hours of effort I came to the conclusion that it is impossible to get the clip out.  
    So I'm facing frustration and defeat here. Maybe I better give up of the idea and put back the original hetsink.
    Any of you had success with installing this Zalman hetsink ?? How you did it?
    Regards

    Isnt SYS TEMP inside of your case. If it is holy . GET SOME FANS IN THERE PRONTO OR YOUR COMPUTER AS WE KNOW IT IS DOOMED !
    DONT PANIC
    Wait for someone who knows this board to finalize this .
    Also, you can take a flashlight, open the side of your case a small crack, and stick ur hand in there (or head , free hair cut!) and if its like an oven, well.... . If its cool, then we have no clue what that stupid SYS Temp is .
    I love emoticons .
