Such a waste of money for a 10% gain which can EASILY be gained from o/c your current setup....
I am upgrading to new Technology. From 754 to 939 pin. To put it short, I want the ability to use my Dual Channel Memory.

Obviously some ppl have WAY TO MUCH MONEY ON THEIR HANDS....
It is not that I have to much money on my hands.. I am just as broke as the next person. I like to live it up and keep up with the times & technology. I work hard and enjoy having nice things. I agree, maybe it is a waste of money for 10% performance gain but i'll tell ya what, you do what makes you happy especailly when its your money! When a member of this site gets on and says hey im upgrading, I will support their choice and wish them the best and even give them a hand if needed. Dont discourage people from what they are doing. That makes for a bad forum.

Zalman cnps 7000(A/B) and K8N Neo2 backplate

Hi,
Tried this question before, in an existing cpu cooler thread, but without luck.
Could anyone confirm that the zalman cnps7000(A/B) coolers can be used with K8N Neo2 stock backplate works or if the zalman backplate have to be used ?
Thanks.....
From SAB´s FAQ.....
Zalman has revised the fastening types in their 7000 series HSF's - and choosing the proper model will ensure that the stock MSI backing plate removal is not required.

Thanks blazing storm.....
Yes, It would be good to have a confirmation about mounting the 7000 cooler with the Stock MSI backplate.
I´m not that worried about the cooler fitting the the board itself, but on the Zalman mounting picture they seem to use the zalman backplate.

ATI 9000 and K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hello, I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard, 1gig (2x 512mb) Dual PC4000 Crucial Ballistix memory, AMD 64bit 3000+ Winchester and a ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128mb. I am waiting on my X800 XT PE 256 arriving, but in the mean time i am having some trouble running Counter-Strike on this set up, my old system with same graphics card could run CS with 100fps no problem, but now it drops to around 30fps in a heavy gun fight, I have dropped all open gl and D3D setting to performance, messed around with the bios setting's but nothing help's, also I have tried many different ATI driver versions but nothing help, if anyone has had the same problems or can offer any possible causes solutions I would be very gratefull. Oh I have a OCZ 520W PSU

Leon28,
The Radeon should perform at least as well as it did on your old comp. Are you using the same version of the Catalyst Drivers you used in your old comp?
You can get the latest ATi Drivers to see if it makes a difference.
Take Care,
Richard

Buffalo pc3200 dd433-r1g and K8N Neo2 Platinum

I bought a Buffalo 1Gb PC3200 (dd4333L-R1G/MD) for my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I put on the "green" slot (unique RAM Module) and...........Nothing, my "cacharro" dont boot. Is the RAM type (brand, etc) or is "this" particular modula that isbad or something? HELP! please (excuse my english, regards from Chile)

Try other RAM sockets. Worst case reset the Bios.

Zalman CNPS7700 and K8N Neo2 Platinum

Does anyone know if the Zalman CNPS7700 or CNPS7000 will fit on the K8N Neo2 Platinum.

AMD 4000+ and K8N Neo2 Platinum ?

The regular AMD 4000+ (San Diego Core or Venice Core) will work on the K8N Neo2 Platinum right?

You looked in the wrong place: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=587. As for why. later CPUs had improvements which require updated BIOS support.

Audigy 2 + K8N Neo2 Palt

I am looking to get a sound card for my PC (specs below) and I can get an Bilk Audigy 2 for €40. However, I remember reading on this very forum about a lot of people having a lot of problems with the Audigy 2 . Has this problem been sorted or will I have to go for a newer more expensive soundcard.

Hello !!
There were some recognition issues with earlier Bios Versions, you should try it......i think it is fixed in 1.8. If you should experiance Problems try updating your Bios, but please read the stickys in Bios Area before flashing. Do not put your soundcard into PCI Slot 5, it´s the red one, it´s intended for use with network cards only.
Good Luck

Update for DiamondMax 10 16 MB and K8N Neo2

Hi Everyone,
Well, I did read many posts regarding this issue, after the I got this HDD, however, I have not seen any updates with the last couple of months. The drive I have was manufactured in Jun 22, 2005, so I am assuming that it has the latest firmware. I am using Murdok's 1.8 BIOS for the NEO2.
I want to see what people are struggling with because I have a problem. When installing WINXPSP2 (SP2 slipstream), it goes through the first "blue screens" ok, loads files ok. Then when it reboots, it says "operating system missing" and will not boot to the HDD. I've check to make sure the boot sequence is to this drive. I have done cold boots too. I've tried everything. I am not using raid, just a single drive. I have tried all of the things previously posted. I am not overclocking. Any ideas before I send it back to Newegg and take a 15% restocking charge?

Finally! After a week, I can finally, and safely, upgrade to Firefox 10 again! Thanks!

Dual Core AMD and K8N Neo2 Platinum boards?

Can I run a X2 AMD CPU on this board?

Yes , for both cores to be recognized you need bios version 1B and later .

Few question above the k8n neo2 platinum and raid

hi
i have for now intel 3.4ghz and asus p4c800dlux and 4 sata drives :
2x36giga wd 10000 raptors in raid 0 (connected to the on board promise sata controller)
2x200giga wd 7200 jd sata that (connected to on bard sata ports)
i order a athlon fx-55 and k8n neo2 platinum for a oc (a have 2x512 corsiar pc4000pro and hydro cool 200 ) and its look that its going to be problem
"SATA ports 1+2 will not maintain a lock and you can and will corrupt hard drives placed on these channels if you raise the HTT above 220mhz."
http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=ge...890&articID=228
so im in a problem, if i wont to do nice oc (and i will) i need to leave sata ports 1 and 2 not connected and buy a sata-pci controller for my 2x200giga , im right ?
in that case i need to connect the raptors in raid 0 in the sata 3-4 prots (near the agp) but:
the raid on the noe2 is "NV RAID (Software)" it means that there is no a controller like promise and the cpu need to replace the controller work, so its doing a lower performance.

If you had 4 huge drives I would be more sympathetic. To me every board is a compromise, resulting in me having to abandon something I might have done previoulsy. In you case ditch the two 36gb drives, and slum it with the 200gb drives. Remember that "overclocking" is not a right. There will be many users oblivious of the SATA 1/2 overclocking problems running 4 sata drives in RAID without a problem.

Is this RAM ok for a K8N NEO2 Platinum

I am currently building a system and have got my FX-53 and K8N NEO2 Platinum but i have hit a problem in that i dont know what memory to get for it i have been looking at this http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=116120&cks=PRL
or if this is no good could some one recommned me one perhaps from this list
http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/kl.asp?bn=10529

If you know very little about memory, then what it IS telling you, you won't understand. Here's a tip....on the offset, don't spend a lot of money on memory just yet. Purchase some PC3200, like Kingston KVR RAM or Kingmax...something relatively inexpensive...until you begin to understand timings and voltage adjustments. You will not have any problems with this type of memory, and usually...initial boot-up goes very smoothly.
Then, after you start to play with timings and such...when you begin to feel comfortable with making these adjustments, and you know your system is stable....then you could experiment with higher-performance RAM.
That's just how I do it..as I am conservative when first assembling a computer!

MSI K8N Neo2 and Creative?

Anyone know of a problem between MSI K8N Neo2 board and
Creative soundblaster audigy 2 card?
My problem started as soon as i plugged in my soundblaster audigy 2 card,
as a result i started to get randomly "Machine Check Exception" problems.
Often when i play games where the sounds are continually.
I've tried creatives support, but i can't find any solution.
The onboard sound works fine, but i prefer the audigy card, as long as it don't
restart my computer.
Anyone have any idea what it may be?

I am using an Audigy 2 with latest drivers and no probs whatsoever so it may not be a motherboard/soundcard problem

K8N Neo2 Chipset cooling and 1.8 BIOS/temps issue

Hi, Not really a problem thread, more some resolutions I want to share (didn't have much luck finding these answers so thought this might help someone...)
First - I've replaced my chipset cooler with the Vantec CCB-A1C (Copper). I think mine is a fairly late revision board (though I forgot to record/photograph the chip while it was bare ) but the stock HS had the usual rubbish tiny spot of gunk slightly off centre. Gave it a nice (thin but even) layer of AS5 before fitting the Vantec and quite happy with the results: The Vantec is actually considerably louder than the stock fan but by using Speedfan to throttle it back to 50% it becomes almost silent and the chipset temp hardly rises above 26C now (32C idle rising to 40+ under load previously).
And on the temps issue - I flashed the official 1.8 BIOS a little while ago and was disturbed to see my CPU temp go from high 30s to around 19C! There was no way that could have been correct (at least 10 degrees lower than ambient? I'm running an XP-90 but it's not magic!).
So I've been looking for news on these 1.9 bioses and popped in here http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo2.html and found the 1.8F bios. Have flashed and now my CPU is reporting 26C which is at least a bit more like it! My system temp is stable at ~38C, but I have no idea of the location of that sensor so there could be other factors keeping that one high.
One question - does anyone have a definitive list of settings/temp offsets etc for Speedfan? And maybe some diagrams showing sensor locations? /hopeful
Apologies if any of this is old news of course!
My Specs:
Antec TrueBlue 480W
A64 3500+ Winchester w/XP-90
K8N Neo2 Platinum
1GB Corsair TwinX-XL
Club3d 6800GT w/Arctic NV5 rev2
Twin Maxtor 160GB SATA Raid 1
Creative Audigy 2

are you looking at your bios or are you using something like motherboard monitor?
oh yeah.. btw.. the case temp thermometer is top left... i discovered this with a 120mm fan pushing air over places on the motherboard

K8N Neo2 problems running 300MHz HTT and higher than "100MHz" RAM divider

Hi!
Got some problems with my K8N Neo2 when running the HTT much above 300MHz, only RAM divider that's stable is "100MHz" which means the RAM runs at the half speed of HTT. That's not good since my RAM does 270MHz with "200MHz"/1:1 divider.
This is not a problem when I run my FX-55, but when I was going to overclock my 3000+ Winchester where the highest MP is 9 this is a big problem. It does 3004MHz (9x334MHz) stable with Prime95 and runs Super Pi at 3135MHz (9x348MHz), but with only 174MHz (348MHz/2) on my RAM the performance is bad. CPU is cooled by Prometeia Mach II.
I'm running HT Frequency/LDT of 3x, any of the settings under 3x doesn't work right (looks like 2,5x equals 3x and 2x, 1,5x and 1x equals 4x). Any BIOSes where the HT Frequency settings below 3x works right?
Thanks for any inputs on this subject.

Why are you insistent on running your frequency at 300Mhz and higher? Why not lower the frequency and increase the multiplier? For example, you could run 275Mhz x 11 for a CPU frequency of 3025Mhz. Then you could still run your RAM at the 1:1 ratio.....
Just a thought -- curious why you haven't tried that...
