875P NEO FIS2R board

I've recently tried to purchase the 875P NEO FIS2R motherboard but when the board arrived it was the FISR version not the FIS2R version which I ordered. I promptly returned it to the supplier as the FISR is in my opinion a lower specification as it doesn't have the same Raid capability and is not what I ordered. However, the supplier is telling me that MSI no longer make the FIS2R board and the FISR he supplied is the model that MSI has replaced the FIS2R with. I find this difficult to believe and suspect the supplier is trying to rip me off. Can anyone shed any light on this? When I check the MSI website the FIS2R is still featured but I'm having great difficulty sourcing one.

I wouldn't buy this board... many people are having serious issues with it.
This is not true. You can't base your opinions on a board by what you read in a forum. Remember that the majority of people come to a forum because they have a problem. Sometimes it is the board, but as often as not it is because of something else. Most people posting are do it yourselfers and need a forum to learn how things go together and don't go together. Most shops assembling computers have the luxury of spare components for testing and lots of past experience.
MSI sell millions of boards annually. The forum doesn't get hundreds of thousands of new users, so I think it is more appropriate to say a few people have issues, not many.

875P Neo FIS2R drive& bios settings help!!

Greetings guys.
Newbie here?
Would someone be so kind as to help me set up the following, using W2K as OS on the 875P Neo FIS2R board with P4 3.06 processor 2x512mb ram with a radeon 9700 and onboard sound, all the drivers etc are installed from the CD but am still using bios V1.2, not flashed it yet.......
I want my set up to be the following but I am having problems getting all my drives on the right chipsets.
IDE1= 1x120gb WD drive and 1x60gb drive for storage
IDE2= Sony DVDR
ICH5R to be 2x37gb WD SATA individual drive not raided on ser 1&2
Promise to be 2x37gb WD SATA as raid 0 for my OS
but I cannot work out the Bios settings and how to acheive what I want, assuming it is possible to do it this way.
Yes I know the quantity of drives is OTT but I did a good deal with a local shop in exchange for the 4x37gb SATA HDD's
Please make it simple, it takes ages to sink into my head...

make sure the "AS raid" option is enabled in BIOS under intergrated peripherals then on-chip conf.
that should handel the promise controller.
then you will need to read the manual to manually set each conf listed.
pg 3-24
these settings may do it:
ATA config set to P-ATA+S-ATA
S-ATA set to enable
P-ATA set to yes
P-ATA set to Both
Combined mode depends on where you install OS: suggest SATA
if that, then S-ATA 1st ch.
S-ATA RAID set to no
try this,let me know

Dead 875P NEO-FIS2R???

Hello All,
I have been running a 875P NEO-FIS2R board with 3GHz (800FSB) and 1GB (2x512MB Corsair 3200LL TwinX) without issue for the last couple months.
The board was running 1.71 (again for a couple months) Bios. I decided to play with the "Performance Mode" settings. Upon setting this to "Ultra Turbo" the board got stuck rebooting, I eventually had to power it down.
When I tried to start it up again it appeared the card was not getting to the POST (with no display output). The D-LED is showing it is getting stuck at the "Keyboard Initialization".
I have tried clearing the CMOS (several times) with the jumper to no avail.
Tried removing one stick of memory, and then the other with no change as well.
I am wondering if maybe this fried my motherboard, or worse my 3GHz processor! It takes only a few seconds (maybe 5 or so) for the processor to become nearly untouchable.
Something else I noticed is if I boot the system without the supplemental 4-pin CPU power connector, the D-LED reports all 4 LEDs green (but still wont POST or boot). Not sure if this helps point to anything.
My wife has a P4 system as well, however it is a 533FSB, does anybody know if I can put an 800FSB into a 533FSB motherboard (I know the clock will probably not show correctly, but will it work)? I just want to test my processor. I know the 875 can take the 533, but I am afraid it will fry her processor as well (so I am a little reluctant to try it this way around).
How likely is it that my memory got toasted? Anybody know what the D-LED would report if I were to remove all the sticks of memory? Unfortunately I can't test my memory in my wife's motherboard because she has an 850E chipset motherboard running 1066 RAMBUS)
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
Best regards,
Gavin

My Man; First you should Have started a NEW Thread, as this one is Almost 1 Year Old ...Now my First question is, What do you Mean you "Erased the BIOS" ?, Do you mean that you "Cleared the BIOS Settings" with the J-BAT1 Jumper? (Because if you "Erased the BIOS, The Board is Now Dead, and you must return it to have the BIOS Reprogramed, Because the 1 Thing about the MSI Boards is the C-MOS Chip is Soldered onto the Board, it is NOT Socketed)....If you Just Cleared the BIOS Settings then we have a Couple of things to try......But Please you wont get anywhere by Trying to BOOT without the CPU , As that is Like trying to Talk to someone without your BRAIN Installed into your Head ....And the ONLY Grease that you Really Should use Between the CPU and the HSF, is a Quality Thermal Compound, that is Made Just for this Purpose, otherwise regular Grease will either Burn (and Dry Out) or, it will NOT Conduct the Proper amount of Heat away from the CPU.......So Please Tell me where you stand on My First Question about the BIOS, as if you Truelly Erased it, then Nothing that I can do Will Help You ...............Sean REILLY875

Need help with 875P Neo-FIS2R!! No on board lan??

Hey i just got the 875P Neo-FIS2R, it came with bios 1.2 on it.
At that point I got everything working nice, INcluding the onboard lan card. I then went to live update bios to 1.6 through windows and I had no problems, but after I restarted my comp. it came back on with out detecting the onboard lan?? It was detected before,but ever since I updated to bios 1.6, it doesn't dectect the lan anymore!!! Anything I can do??

It could be something simple. Did you check to see if the onboard LAN is Enabled in the Bios?
I'd check that first!

Is the 875P Neo-FIS2R a bad mb?

Like the title says:
Is the 875P Neo-FIS2R a bad motherboad? I can understand that tis is a place where you will find more problems then anything else. But I mostly see motherboard specific problems, that occur on many mb's of the same type. I find that a bit disturbing...
A friend of mine never had any troubles with it, then again, he might not tell me, or he is lucky. But based on his 'good' experience I have a 875P lying here right now.
I cannot use it yet since I am missing a graphic card to go with it, I expect that to arrive next Tuesday. Im a bit nervous now.....
Another question while I'm at it: will both controllers (the Intel and the Promise) work, or are the mutual exclusive. So I guess I mean is: do I have 3 P-ATA connectors on my mb or either 2 or 1??
If it is the latter option, that would be lame, then I would have to insert my PCI card with a pomise controller....

I have to say the 875P is definitely NOT a bad motherboard as long as you have approved components. It works very well for "standard" usage. It has all of the top features from Intel - 875P chipset, 10Gbit CSA, ICH5R, ADI audio, firewire, etc.
I am concerned with some things MSI could/should have done better in the first place:
1. Wrong NB temp (and it seems to be affected by NBFAN)
2. No SFAN speed monitoring though it wouldn't have cost more to put it in ... X(
3. Slow frequency of BIOS release or update fixes vs other "top tier" motherboard manufacturers
4. More issues than others with popular memory modules
5. Confusing or "poorly documented" BIOS features/interface leave tweakers less in control
6. Corecell, DOT & MAT, BIOS are still a work in progress
When you start looking for topnotch performance and stability via tweaking OR major overclocking - that is where it falls short - contrary to what their marketing says.
Read this thread where an 875P owner compares his new Asus P4C800E Deluxe (after his 875P Neo failed and had to go for RMA). I summarize his "review" here:
Quote
Criteria on MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R vs ASUS P4C800E DeLuxe
Ease in setting up P4C800E
Memory compatibility P4C800E
Overclocking
- setting options Neo
- higher performance P4C800E
- lower temperatures P4C800E
- lower voltages P4C800E
Video card compatibility Neo
Hard drive performance Same
Benchmark scores Est. 5% better on Asus vs MSI
Extra Goodies:
ASUS - ability to use USB ARMD devices and emulate them as floppies, HDD, and even CD-ROM
MSI - AUTO overclocking (Captain, etc. on the Neo boards - 5%, 10% etc on the Asus boards) works much better
quote:
... the Asus is much less of a problem child when setting up. So my final ruling is, don't expect much more from the ASUS board, but if you are fed up with your 875P Neo, or are returning/RMA-ing your board anyway, you might be pleasantly surprised with what the ASUS P4C800/E/Deluxe can do for you.
I think you'll find similiar comparisons from 865PE Neo2 users who had tried the P4P800...
So far many have said they're still keeping their MSI boards when RMA comes back
Conclusions:
- Good HW but FW/SW satsifactory~needs_improvement. :]
- If you don't do major tweaking , and want stability + full features, the 875P is a GOOD board overall, IMHO. 8)

Can MSI add DOT to 875P Neo-FIS2R

Hi! Those guys here!
Will DOT be added to the 875P Neo-FIS2R in the next bios???
I'm using the BIOS1.6 but I still couldn't find DOT!
I hope it will be in BIOS1.7.
I LOVE MSI that's why I bought my board!
My Computer's Configuration:
P4 2.4C+875P Neo-FIS2R+GEIL DDR400 512MB+Winfast A310 Ultra
THANKS :D :D :D

There are some threads stating that it's already in the Beta 1.74 BIOS but requires a specific version of CoreCell (which is indicated by a DOT sticker on the board/box)
There was also another thread saying that aside from this, it seems to depend on the processor installed - which I find puzzling ?(

875P Neo-FIS2R File Copy errors loading Win XP Pro

While installing WinXP Pro SP 1 I get file copy failures on random files two or three times during the install. Retry succeeds on the file, but errors keep coming up after install randomly. Explorer crashes on logon, files are corrupt, etc. Tried two different MBs, two different CPUs, two different PSUs, two different sets of RAM, different IDE cables, booting from both DVD Drives, different Win XP CDs. I also tried the same with a Gigabyte 875 board and had exactly the same problem. With the Gigabyte board, if I ran the bus with a setting of 190 or 195 instead of 200MHz, the system ran fine, but then my 2.8GHz CPU is running at 2.66GHz. I can't go slower than 200MHz (but I did try 201 and 202; same errors) on the Neo-FIS2R so I can't find a setting that is stable and that's the board I'd like to be running. Any ideas about what's causing all of these combinations from running stable at a stock setting of 2.8GHz?
Thanks.

I am also having trouble with this on xp pro. When fully installed I get many random errors. New at this but have read that if you install a partition more than 137 gb data corruption may occur. So I partitioned the drive 20, 70, 70, and installed xp pro on the 20 gb partition. Per mb and hdd manuals I installed xp sp1. I am still getting random errors. This is the only hdd. Maxtor 160 gb ata 133 on ide1. Is it impossible to run the system this way? It gives me random crashes and stop requests. It also at one point gave me erros saying the cdrom memory is corrupt. Is the hdd drive sze possibly the problem?

875P NEO FIS2R repaired

My board which died with BIOS 1.3 was repaired by the reseller today. I witnessed the process and thought you guys would like to know.
This guy knew from experience that an 800MHz CPU wouldn't work when trying to get the board back to life again, so first of all he put in a 533MHz CPU (don't know core clock, but doesn't matter I guess)
Then he took out my 2x512MB samsung PC3200 and put in a single pc2100 module.
After that he put in this custom (PLC programmer?) card from MSI in a PCI slot and powered up. From the status LEDs on the PLC card he knew it didn't work. Power of and back on: success. Power off and PLC card removed. Power on and boot from floppy to flash BIOS to v1.4. Flash successfull. Power off and power on: dead. Power off, clear CMOS, power on: dead. Power off, remove PC2100 module and insert corsair module (don't know spec, but it had heat-spreader), power on: POST. Entered BIOS and load setup defaults. Reboot: POST. Power off, removed CPU & memory and put my stuff back. Power on: POST.
System repaired.
I asked if it is safe to mess with mem timings in BIOS v1.4. He said that it's possible that the board won't POST then, but that can be cured by CMOS clear and when needed only one memory module (no dual channel) to get the board to POST again.
But I'm not going to try that. SPD is fine for me right now.
System runs great again.

I had the exact same problem with my new 875P Neo FIS2R, but after reading the post from Francois I tried my own little test.
I was upgrading from a 2.26/533 system with 333 memory so, of course, I still had the old CPU and memory. After being hung on the 'Keyboard Init' step on the D-Bracket after my 1.1 to 1.4 BIOS upgrade I swapped the old CPU and memory onto the board. Everything worked fine! I was able to see the 1.4 upgrade took fine.
Afterwards, I removed the old stuff and put the new stuff back on and it still works. I have no idea why, just thought I'd share.

875P Neo FiS2R best memory ??

Aside from the list on the MSI web site, what 512MB TWIN DDR memory modules have been tested to be working fine with the 875P Neo FiS2R motherboad ?
Both 400 or also higher for overclocking. Please indicate your findings, thanks.

Even though it's not on the "recommended list," I use the 2x512MB Mushkin Level II Black Label DIMMs, with the Winbond BH5 (??) chips.
My 875P-FIS2R board is stable even overclocked. I run the memory at 2-2-2-6 w/ 8 Burst and DDR Volt at 2.85V. The RAM is good for 2-2-2-5 and works on the board at that setting, but not when I OC past 245FSB (3:2 Ratio) with a 2.4C, so I drop it to 2-2-2-6 and I'm at a happy 3.0GHz with very aggressive timings.
Personally, I wish I could get the same results at 1:1 ratio, but it appears my SB Audigy might be holding me back on that endeavor (I can OC considerably higher just by taking the Audigy out). Anyway, my memory settings always gets me > 1000 on my PCMark2003 Memory score. So I'm happy (for now!!).

875P Neo-FIS2R sound settings

Hi,
I just got this new board (875P Neo-FIS2R) and I'm mostly happy with it but just realize something... After installing all provided driver in the box, after running liveupdate3 to make sure all driver are up to date, I got a problem with the onboard sound... But before stepping to conclusion, I need your opinion/technical knowledge before buying a PCI soundcard like an Audigy...
First, I cannot find any sound mixer that can allow me to set the bass or treble, adjust the balance etc...(if I look at the windows default mixer, I got bass and treble but they cannot be change) Yes, I got this little icon from soundmax that allow me to change speaker setting (close together or far appart) and also I can change the environement setting like the sblive! and newer card to give specific ambient context like deep forest or bathroom (btw, for the last one, environnement setting, I can change to anything in the list but I do not hear any change... )
Second, for sound quality, I got chop and crop once in a while when I play mp3 or CD music... Generally, I found the sound to be bizarre...
So, maybe it's me, but I really need your opinion on this to figure out if I need to install something else or if it's just a limitaton of the onboard sound... I know asus P4C800 is also using Soundmax but the use the SoundMax 4XL which come with a great mixer and seems to be more convenient and versatil that the solution provided by MSI on this very high end board...
Thanks for your cooperation in helping me out...

Hi,
For wiring spec and speaker spec, I got a altec lansing sub + 2 satelite... wired with stock cable from altec lansing. Very common setup... I dont think that this is the issue... Before, I had a NFORCE2 chipset with the MCP-T as the southbridge, which had a great onboard sound setup. Sound was perfect and the mixer, also perfect (perfect for a gamer and mp3 playing) So, if anyone else confirm that there is no mixer (with bass/treble control), I will have to live with it... My next question would be: which PCI sound card do you recommend for great quality sound, 5.1,6.1 or 7.1, gaming performance and bug free with the 875P neo FIS2R ??

875P Neo-FIS2R Dead

Hi,
I just built a new machine with the 875P Neo-FIS2R, and it was working fine. I read that there were problems with the BIOS V1.3. Of course, I had to update my BIOS. I saw V1.4 was out and figured it was safe and fixed. So I used MSI's LIVE BIOS to flash the BIOS in Windows mode. I have done this before with my other MSI board and had no problems. The flashing process went successful, and asked me to reboot. Then when I did it never came back up. No video or POST beep. I tried switching out memory, clearing the CMOS, and even changing to my older GF3 card. Nothing worked. Can someone tell me what to do? I want my PC to work.... Again.

I took out the battery and tried but it didn't work. Then I took a stick of pc2100 ddr out of my older machine and put it in, and it booted! Then I swapped out back to my new ddr 400 and it booted! Okay, so now when it boots, it says no BIOS installed and acts like I never had win xp on it. So thats alright, I can reload it, but My Cmos is like it was in 1999. Do I just load the defaults then fix it back to where it was and reload windows? Or do I need to slow down dram timings and reload windows and flash bios back to V1.2?

875P Neo-FIS2R: Memory stays at 333MHz

I recently assembled a new system with the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R motherboard. The specs are as follows: Pentium 4C 3GHz 800MHz FSB, 1GB Samsung PC3500 Cas 2 DDR. The problem is I can't seem to get the memory to run at 400MHz, no matter what BIOS I use. The memory is capable of running at 433MHz with the tightest timings, yet I can't even get it beyond 333MHz. Please help me!
Scott

I bought the MSI Neo-FIS2R last weekend, together with a pair of Corsair XMS3500C2 256M memories & a P4 3.0C processor. Darned expensive kit, but I was impressed with all the features on the MSI board, and I decided to go for the performance RAM to squeeze every last drop of performance out. The Cosair modules are supposedly guaranteed to do 434MHz 2-3-3-7-T1.
http://www.corsairmicro.com/xms/xms_modules.html
My board came with 1.1 Bios, and I've flashed to 1.2 Bios.
In my experience over the past week with this board, the Bios is totally hosed. It just doesn\'t do anything. I can get terrific boot screens, 3.6Ghz, 3.8Ghz, but nothing really happens as far as overclock.
And the same thing is true for memory. I can change the memory settings all I want to, and Sandra and Aida give the same results. And, these results are not as good as the reference data for other 875P systems in Sandra and Aida. It appears MSI bios is simply running these Corsairs at Bios default timings 2.5-4-4-8 and nothing I do can change this.
Corecell does produce some overclock changes, but I don\'t like Corecell. Computer bluescreens, have to clear CMOS. Start Corecell again, bluescreen, clear CMOS. Repeat until tired of this.
Nice kit, but way too expensive for the performance I'm getting. Hope they fix it, or this stuff goes back.

MS 6758 ( 875P Neo FIS2R ) Possible Bios Glitch

Just got this new board the other day and as most would attest to doing and hour or so after getting it running, I decided to update the bios to the latest version from v1.4 to v1.6. OK then, no real dramas except for one minor issue. If I select QUICK BOOT and DISABLE the LOGO screen so as to show the post screen instead, the computer locks up on ASSIGN RESOURCES TO ALL ISA. If I re-enable the logo screen ie. the MSI logo etc, then it boots fine. If I disable this logo screen, and also disable quick boot so it does it's full memory check, it boots fine also.
This only started since flashing the bios to v1.5. I then flashed to v1.6 and it still did the same thing. Very weird indeed. Everything is hunky dory though. No problems whatsoever. Just the above small glitch. It sounds to me like a possible glitch in the bios code to me. Just curious if other people are having the same problem.
It doesn't matter what the other settings are throughout the bios. The above 2 settings are the only ones I have found that seem to effect this problem. If anyone else can simulate the same scenario as what I have, then let me know. It may just me a hardware config issue. Who knows. Nothing is OCed. All stock speeds. Apart from the memory timings.

could it be MSI's QC? Seems like people have had alot of mixed success with this board. Some people say it's the greatest since sliced bread some people can't get it to boot. Everyone's system has a different config so it's hard to say but would seem that there's just too many ongoing issues to be a consistant incompatiblity with components used with the board. Chi Pete your sound card, look into one by Philips called Acoustic Edge. I know it's not a SB Audigy but that's the whole point for me, no IEEE 1394 to deal with. Until Creative allows that to be disabled or removes it completely from their cards I'll never buy another one. Anyway the Philips got some pretty good reviews, looks like the software has some interesting control abilities and comes setup like a SB Live, no firewire, no usb, no parallel port just a game port and audio connections. And BTW how does the Cirrus Logic chipset sound? or does your Santa Cruz have a different chipset?

875P NEO-FIS2R no boot with memory problems

I just got a NEO FIS2R board, a P4 2.6C, and two 512MB sticks of OCZ PC3200 Premier DDR. I installed the board and connected only my hard drive, video card (GeForce4 Ti4200), both sticks of memory, and CPU (on a 300W PSU). At first, the board would eventually make it to the "booting OS" stage, after spending a little time on "initializing video" (normal) and "assigning ISA" or something like that (don't know what that is, since the board has no ISA slot). Unfortunately, although my monitor's light changed from yellow to green, meaning it was getting a signal, the screen remained blank. I gave it a few minutes and finally turned off the computer. After reseating the video card and memory and disconnecting the hard drive, the same problem occurred. Finally, I took out one of the sticks. After this, the computer hung on that ISA thing for about ten seconds, and then went back to "detecting memory" and gave a 2-1 error beep. I switched between the two OCZ sticks and also two sticks slow generic PC2100 memory that I had in my old computer and I know work fine. Eventually the computer stopped pausing at the ISA stage and went to the memory detection after only a second or so. Since the video was obviously acting strange, I disconnected the video card so the computer contained only CPU and memory. The bootup sequence was the same, except that in place of the single beep during video intialization, it gave me a 2-8 error code. Finally, I took the board out of my case and laid it flat on the wooden table and tried again. Still no boot. I also cleared CMOS several times throughout this procedure, so that shouldn't be the problem.
Can anyone figure out what's going on here? It's especially confusing to me that the computer booted all the way (sans video) at first, then started having memory problems, and that the system passes the initial memory test but then goes back to it after that ISA thing (this is all according to the D-Bracket).

On the compatability list, it says
"Kingston KVR400X64C25/512
W942508BH-5 (Winbond)"
Since the memory I am looking at is CL2, does that mean it might not be compatible after all?
If you're wondering whether the Kingston HyperX RAM you're looking at is the same as the Kingston RAM you've found on the compatibililty list, the answer is NO. The RAM from the list that you're referring to has a model number that starts with "KVR", which stands for "Kingston Value RAM". HyperX RAM has model numbers that start with the letters "KHX".
You might also note that there is no listing for any of the HyperX stuff on that compatibility chart. However, I have seen posts from several people on this forum who seem to be using HyperX RAM with no problem. I suspect that MSI hasn't updated that list in awhile, because there are no listings for many of the newer PC 3500, 3700, and 4000 RAM models.
I personally went 512mb (2x256) of OCZ PC3200EL DDR RAM, it is listed as 'OCZ (PN- OCZ400256EL ) PN- OCZ400256EL' on the compatibility chart. I had plenty of problems trying to run a set of Corsair TwinX 3200PCT ver. 1.2 on my 875P NEO board, and I settled them by switching over to the OCZ RAM only because it was listed. While it wasn't my first choice I'm pretty happy with it because so far it's been running stable at CAS 2,2,3,6, with the voltage at 2.65.

MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
Mine:

Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
1.cpu 2.ram 3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
