A quick and simple question about MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum

I want to overclock my 3500+ but when I go like to 2.4GHZ, the computer isn't stable and sometimes even corrupt some of my Windows files.
My HTT is alright so my mobo stays around 800MHZ
My memory is at 166MHZ so it doesn't go too high
My Vcore is 1.4v but this overclock is so minimal it doesn't cause a problem
Last thing.... AGP and PCI Locks
AGP, no problem, it is locked to 66MHZ, but what about PCI?
I downloaded CoreGen and when I increased the HTT, AGP stood at 66, but PCI increased with it.
Some told me that when you lock AGP to 66, it will also lock PCI, well I have to say that it ain't true 'cause I experienced it myself.
Why isn't PCI Clock not in the motherboard, or is it? and any other motherboard have it???

Never mind, I just noticed I had to put the AGP to 67MHZ to lock both, BUT, I think my comp just sucks in overclocking.....
I set it to 2400MHZ
220x11 with memory at 183MHZ using A64Tweaker so that make my memory set to right on 200MHZ.
My motherboard is set to 880MHZ (800MHZ Origin) so I set HTT to 3 to make 660MHZ and still doesn't work.
When I say it doesn't work it is because my PC doesn't pass Super PI test, it freezes completly after the first LOOP but if I do not run Super PI, the PC won't crash. Is it a Super PI problem or what?

Very quick and simple question about a simple sum going wrong.

Ive noticed that im having lots of ocurrences where my maths goes wrong - usually i trace this to ints multiplying doubles and stuff , or its in degrees not radians .
But this one is too simple to seem to cause problems :
screenY = 180 + ( 420 - (( 420 / 2200 ) * xE ) );
heres the code line which does the calculation, and for a particular loop it
ran as xE = 223 .
xE is an int by the way.
For some reason this code always produces screenY = 600 ,
which should only be the case if xE = 0 .
any suggestions as to how i should help the VM get it right?
thanks in advance guys.

xE is an int by the way.
For some reason this code always produces screenY =
600 ,
which should only be the case if xE = 0 .It happens because in integer division 420/2200 is always equal to zero. So, regardless of the value of xE, you're adding 420 + 180, which is 600.
any suggestions as to how i should help the VM get it right? Yes:
double value = 180.0 + (420.0 - ((420.0/ 2200.0)*xE));
screenY = (int)value;You can simplify all this, of course. Why not do that 420/2200 = 0.19090909... calculation once and just substitute the constant value?

250GB harddisk work in MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum

Hi!
I have a pair of WD 250GB SATA2 16MB cache harddisks (WD2500KS).
Currently they don't work in my Asus A8N-SLI DLX (BIOS messes up LBA and CHS setting with them)
(smaller 120 and 160 GB hdds work flawlessly in that mobo)
So i am considering to switch to MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum.
can anyone confirm these babies would work in that mobo?
Are there any known issues with higher capacity harddisks on MSI nforce 4 boards ?
also i hear that the chipset fan is very noisy. Is that true?
The other option would be the Abit A8N Ultra which has the heatpipe design but i am not so comfortable with Abit, since there are too mayn rumors about them.
Any ideas?

not heard any thing with nvidia
there is a thing with some via

MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Smart CPU Fan reports 0 rpm ?

Hi
I have a MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum (MS-7125) motherboard with an Athlon 64 3700+ CPU and an Arctic Cooling Silencer Ultra 64 HSF.
In the BIOS setup, in the 'Monitor H/W' area you can set something called the 'Smart CPU Fan Target'.
o If I set this to disabled, it reports a fan speed of about 2,280 rpm.
o If I set it to 40°C, it reports a fan speed of 0 rpm ! (the fan is turning)
The MSI Core Center utility and Everest Ultimate also both report the fan speed as 0 rpm.
I assume that if I disable Smart CPU Fan, the fan always rotates at max. rpm; if I set it to 40°C, the fan runs at a slow speed until the temperature exceeds 40°C, at which point it speeds up (likewise if I set it to 50°C or 60°C). However, the fan IS turning.
Can anyone explain this ? I would like the reassurance of having the CPU HSF speed reported.
Incidentally , the PSU is an Akasa AK-P460FG
(3.3v = 30A, +5v = 30A, +12v1 = 14A, +12v2 = 15A)

Very old post yes but I feel the need to reply anyway because I have the same problem myself.
Very strange and would be nice to hear if any more of ya guys out there can see the same.

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum motherboard extra firewire ports?

I'm installing an MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum motherboard into my case and although I don't need them right now, I would like to be able to access the extra firewire ports. Does anyone know the best way to get ahold of the MSI motherboard 1394 connectors for J1394_1 / J1394_2 option?
I have the D bracket with the LED's and two extra USB connectors but I don't have the firewire connector. I have USB ports and audio ports on the front of my case which I will use, but no firewire connector, but there is a place for one, just no connector/wires or hardware. Also what is the difference between those two connectors shown in the picture of the optional firewire that appears in the owners manual? They have a different shape.
Where can I get one? I don't need the proprietary peice if I can use something else.

Fireware ports are faster for example external drives will be fastest 1394 rather than usb2.
there are many companies doing drive bays which can add ports to your current case see Front Port Extension Unit however you need to decide what exactly you want,
The example shown passes through case & connects to rear ports.
I prefer ones hich connect to the mobo risers leaving rear ports free, however you then have the complexity of matching the pin outs so that it works with your system. Remember it's not like tring to boot, you may not get a 2nd chance if you miswire connection. . If you can find them the best connectors are those with single pin leads, where each individual wire has its own plug so that you can match it to the mobo's pin out diagram for the particular port.

MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Clarification of SATA

Hi Folks!
Just some clarification from you guys in the know.
I have an MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Mboard. The specs say it will run SATA drives and am looking to upgrade.
Now from shooping around for price i was presented with three options.
SATA 150 , SATA 300 and SATA II
I have worked out that SATA 300 and SATA II are superior to the 150 but is my board capable of running any of the three or is my choice limited.
My motherboard specs just show that it is SATA compatible but no further info.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Q-Tex, All your nVidia SATA ports [1-4] are SATA II 300 mb/s and the Silicon Image SATA ports [5-8] are SATA I 150 mb/s. SATA II drive brands to consider are: Seagate, Samsung, Hitachi, WD [I know from personal experience that Seagate 's work]. I belive that there are still issues with Maxtors. If buying drives from retailer with a high turn over you will get a drive with the latest firmware [has the bugs worked out] and if you buy a drive that doesn't have the latest firmware it's not the end of the world - you can get a firmware upgrade if neccesary.

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. DOn´t boot

I have a problem with my MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. Yesterday I started to mount my computer and when I finished to install everything the computer does not bind. It swims happens, the Motherboard this not obtaining to receive energy . Until my Power Supply it is not functioning, does not receive energy! Somebody has some Idea of that it can be happening? Power Supply: Seventeam ST-420bkv Processor: Athlon 3000+ venice. OBS: All the components are new.

Well it wasnt the battery
The one I pulled from the board was reading 2.68v, the new one is reading 3.17v, but the problem remains :((
BUT, I discovered if I hold the case power button in while switching the PSU on fom the back that the CMOS details are fine after all?!?! Not pressing the case power button results in the no boot problem. Maybe the switching that disables the battery when the AC is on is broke ???
Its a weird one alright but I can live with it till my next upgrade - which wont be MSI - too many bugs. I have a Gigabyte board in my second PC and its rock solid, dual BIOS and never had a single problem with it - maybe that or ASUS next time round )
Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
Would still like to know what the flashing led error is though??
many thnx for all the input guys.
g2k.

MOVED: MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did. When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life. Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine. Start with CPU and memory?
Good luck.

Msi k8n neo 4 platinum sli sata issue?

hi i am planning to buy a new motherboard and i decided to buy k8n neo 4 platinum sli board. but recently i heard that it has an issue with
silicon image SIL3132 controller that If there was no drive connected to the controller, the system wouldn't complete the POST. does that issue resolved now? please tell me. any new bios update for that?

hi satya123 ,
Quote
silicon image SIL3132 controller that If there was no drive connected to the controller, the system wouldn't complete the POST
not heard of that one.
But it's easily sorted :-
Bios - Onboard Devices
OnBoard Sil3132 RAID
This setting controls the onboard Sil3132 RAID chip. Setting options: [Enabled],
[Disabled].
OnBoard Sil3132 Mode
This setting allows you to select either SATA and RAID mode for the onboard
Sil3132 RAID chip. Setting options: [SATA], [RAID].
just set OnBoard Sil3132 RAID to disabled.

Help MSI K8n Neo 2 Platinum

Good Day I bought a MSI K8N NEO Platinum recently and have these doubt ! I[m not upgrade the Bios because the system functions perfectly but verified that version 1.2 says Support FSB you 450MHz. What this wants to say? I gain more performance? Another versions described terms : - Update NVPXE version you the 2.03.0469. - Update CBROM version you the 1.47. - Update NVRAID version you the 4.81.
What it would be these terms?
Thanks a lot. Sorry my English

If your board is stable and you like it the way it is, there is no reason to update the bios. You should only update the bios if it pertains to you.
Support 450MHz FSB is probably refering to speeds you can attain with overclocking.
NVPXE is for booting off of the LAN. I doubt you need to worry about this.
CBROM don't know
NVRAID is to update the bios for the RAID, but again if you are having no problems with it there is no need to upgrade.
Good Luck

In the future I will possibly ditch my scsi DVD rom and replace with NEC dual layer burner and replace Plextor CDRW with 52/32/52 CDRW/DVD ROM. For now I'm going with what I have.
No plans to overclock now if ever. Perhaps a small amount later. Maybe 2.0 ghz? Maybe no overclocking at all.
Not a gaming rig really, although I'll try the odd game at low resolution.
So is there anything I should do ahead of time? I am carefully installing the board in the case and everything that goes with it. What sort of configuration setups should I do? Do I flash to a more updated BIOS first? Do I leave onboard things un-activated first? How do I setup my memory? For instance, I may look for the best BIOS to start with and have it ready to use if I have problems. I may also use the nVidia drivers for onboard audio instead of the realtek drivers.
Not looking for all the answers, just feel free to point out any of the obvious which may save me time
thanx in advance for any help

There is a compatibility issue betwen the Matrox G series cards and the MSI Neo Platinum motherboards, which AFAIK, hasn't been solved yet. The problem seems to be a result of changes made in the newer versions of the MSI bios, however you may be stuck if you need a newer bios for the Winchester cpu. You can find out more if you do a search on Matrox in this forum.

Quick (and urgent) Question about Intel G5's

Just a quick question about the new intel G5's.
I currently have bunch of software for my PPC G5 which is a Dual 2ghz. Software includes Adobe CS2, Macromedia Studio, Quark 6, etc, etc.
If I purchase the new intel mac, would I be able to use the same software? or would I be forced to purchase a whole new set of everything I currently have?
If the software will work on the intel G5, would it perform at the same rate/better than how it performs now on my PPC g5?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Rosetta:
Most of the time you get a real 'hit' when a program first opens that is PPC. Very sluggish. They will require and use more memory than otherwise, too.
Tests from last August aren't as helpful, there have been improvements, letting the Mac Pro pull even further ahead.
http://www.barefeats.com/quad06.html
Comparison Mac Models shows scores of all models. So there is 2x as much or more processing power, bandwidth, better video, as well as disk drives. A 'base' configuration would be 4-6GB RAM.
And there are differences, more than between G4 and G5.
People with experience would be Mac Pro Discussions
Don't use Migration Assistant, and upgrade to CS3 etc. reinstall all your applications fresh.
There are some drivers and plug-ins, that can be problems, and known.

Question about MSI K8N SLI Platinum

i have a question about this mobo.
my previous msi boards had a feature where if u overclocked too much, and the system couldnt handle it, it would load the default settings in the bios. I really liked this feature and am wondering if it will be present in this board.
is it?

sorry m8 after that post i double checked and i thought you were talking about neo1 - didnt notice the SLI bit . i think a couple of others got caught by that one too.
so i did some investigating:
it uses the same award phoenix bios 6.00PG as neo1 and 2. every board i have owned since kt266a fom various manufacturers with that bios has had that feature. plus the insert key trick even works on a lot of 486 and early pentium 1 machines. i am still 99% sure it will put it that way.

Question about msi k9nu neo V !

hello to everyone!i have a little question for you guys.i have bought a msi k9nu neo v motherboard and a athlon64 3500+(orleans core),and know here comes the question.if y buy ram memory wich runs at 800 mhz it will work fine with my processor?plaese help me with this!

The motherboard works with the DDR2 800 so there should be no problem. It may not run at its maximum rated speed in your system but should work otherwise.
