Bad OC with K8N SLI -F

Hello!
I have a problem, when i try to OC my PC, with this board MSI K8N Sli-F, the FBS isn´t greater to 232. I have a 3700+ SD, and I want to OC more my PC. I try all that I can do. But in this moment I can make anything. So I want to get a ModBios for this mobo. I´ve install the 1.6v bios to MSI. So who can help me!
PD: excuse me for me english, but I speak spanish!! Thx!

Ok oK... you have reason.
My PC is:

MSI K8N SLI - F
Kingston Memory Value 2x256
eVGA GeForce 7600GT KO
MAXTOR SATA2 80GB
Seagate 120 GB

  • [Resolved] No boot with K8N sli Platinum & AMD 64 X2 3800+

    Hye,
    I've received these new stuff last night (everything is good until here) :
    - Antec Sonata II 450W
    - MB MSI K8N SLI Platinum
    - Proc. AMD 64 X2 3800+
    - GC Sapphire X800 XL 256Mo
    I've assembled all and turned it on... No bip... but all the fans are turning... and the screen says "No signal" and becomes black ( and me    )
    Can someone help me? Please?
    On the MSI site, I also found this :
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=641&kind=1
    Maybe the proc. and the Motherboard are not compatible? Has someone already tried this combinaison (MB+Proc.)?
    My Thanks in advance.

    I will ask the sellers if they can update the Mobo for me.
    But with the last version of the bios, will the mobo accept the dual-core with this proc. AMD 64 X2 3800+?
    And if it's not possible I'll change the mobo.
    Thanks .................................. again.
    Pretty much any SLI motherboard supports the X2 3800. MSI is just really pathetic sometimes. So, I had the Abit AN8 SLI before and their latest BIOS (17) supports all X2 CPUs. But Im sure most other brands support them too.

  • PLEASE HELP! Restarting issue with K8N SLI. need bios help???

      Hi people,
    I would really appreciate some help this this problem im having. It’s a bit long winded but ill try to keep it short.
    My pcs spec is as follows –
    MSI K8N SLI (model MS-7185) motherboard
    AMD Athlon X2 64bit 4200+ cpu
    4 x 512mb ram
    Running with a Radeon X700 256mb graphics card.
    Ever since I purchased the machine ive been having problems with the pc loading up XP (or any OS for that matter!). Sometimes it would freeze on the loading screen and sometimes it would freeze on the black screen just after the loading screen.  Sometimes while running windows perfectly normally, a blue screen with writing describing the error came up and then the system restarted, however, I would only ever manage to read the title of the blue screen as the pc restarted so quickly. I remember seeing the word hardware though,  so I guessed it was a serious hardware issue. I lived with this for a few months thinking it might be something im doing that’s making it be so unreliable, such as a software issue, but I recently went on a mission to sort it out. The BIOS of the motherboard was password protected and I wasn’t aware of this until I had lost contact with who I had bought the system off, so I decided to restart the motherboard’s settings by pressing the reset button on the board itself. Next time I booted it up it told me that the defaults were restored etc and continued to boot windows, however now I can hardly get windows to start at all, the system restarts on the loading screen 8 times out of 10, and if it does boot up fully then it doesn’t last long before crashing on me. I messed about with a few of the BIOS settings, but to be honest I have no experience with working with these settings, its all very new to me. I have an idea  that it could be the processor or the graphics card causing the problem, just an inkling though!
    If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you. Adam

    Can you furnish us some additional info on the 4 sticks of memory that you have?  Also on the power supply?  There is a label on the side of it that lists the manufacturer of the power supply and the amperage output for the 12volt power rail. 
    Thanks for your reply. here is some more info:
    4 x Kingston 512mb model no - KVR400X64 C34
    The power supply is a Sweex Advanced Gold 650W [BA000110]. max currennt on 12v rail is 25A
    Hope this helps. Thanks again for your reply.

  • Memory issues with K8N Sli

    I run this mostly as a high end gaming rig and am not really into OCing.  I currently have:
    Corsair CMX512-2700LLPT 512MB DDR333 XMS2700 64Mx64 184 DIMM CAS2 32Mx8 DRAMs Low Latency SPD Memory w/Platinum Heat Spreader Retail
    Is this fine?
    But it seems to be running at single channel 64mhz (which I can't figure out)?  An suggestions on what to do here?
    If I were to buy some new memory what memory is best for this motherboard?
    Registered or non-registered, or is that only Socket 940?
    DDR or DDR2?  
    Buffered or unbuffered?
    Does it take advantage of each?
    I was looking at buying:
    https://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=140783
    or
    http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=140308&Category_Code=Unbuffered_Corsair

    or
    http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=140866&Category_Code=Unbuffered_Corsair
    I did read as many memory threads as I could.

    You get best timings with theese , and they would be excellent :
    http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=140866&Category_Code=Unbuffered_Corsair
    And a total of 1GB would be enough for most of us .
    As for your DDR333 ram , it should run dual channel if placed in one green and one purple slot .
    Slot 1+2 is recommended if only two modules are used .

  • K8N SLI platinium : ethernet problem

    hello ,
    first sorry for my bad english
    i just added a new computer with K8N SLI plat motherboard with Win XP pro SP2  to my existing network.
     network work fine , i can see all my 4 computer on my network.
    internet work fine , i can surf or play online .
    BUT , when i try to transfert big file like divx , only 1% of my 100mbp/s bandwith is used. so it take from 30 to 180 minutes :(
    and after a few minutes my modem/router crash and i must power OFF /ON it to reconnect to web.
    all transfert between the others PC are OK
    no Firewall on PC since it is in my modem
    anyone can help me ? thx

    ok i have/has the exact same problem
    try disabling your checksum offload for the nforce ethernet driver. it works most of the time for me
    either that or use a different network card. I believe it has to do with drivers because it works one momment for me then it doesn't.
    to disable your checksum offload
    start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager->network adapters->NVIDIA nForce Networking->properties->advanced->checksum offload-> set to disable
    hope that helps. If anyone knows of a nForce driver version that is 100% stable or a different fix please let us all know.

    Build a new system with K8N SLI motherboard, AMD 64 3200+, Chill Innovation 510W PSU with 20 pin - tried with a 20-24 pin converter - no difference.
    My problem is that when i use a PCIe GFX card the system freezes randomly, tried 2 different cards. An Asus X600XT Extreme and Leadtek 6600GT Extreme, but problem is the same. I have an old PCI Radeon 7000 GFX and with this, the computer runs perfect.
    Both CPU and motherboard has been changed to a new one - didn't help.
    Have installed newest graphic driver and Nforce driver. Tried both 3.0 and 3.1 motherboard bios. Changed HTT to 800, PCIe to 90 (clock generator).
    Can it really be my PSU which causes the problem?
    HELP!!
    TiM :(

    Hi there,
    I will find out the automatic timings its reading.  I went on to the corsair site, and for my memory, they had completly differnt timings.  If I where to set the proper timings, how would I go about it? I have no knowlodge in that area.

  • Is the Hiper Type- R 580 modular PSU compatible with MSI K8N SLI Platinum?

    Hey guys, i just recently bought a Hiper Type R 580w PSU after my old PSU went bad.
    I installed the new PSU a few hours ago and came across a problem, nothing shows up on screen.
    When i turn on the computer, the green light is constantly on including my dvd/rw light.
    I double checked everything were connected properly and everything seemed to be connected properly.
    The cpu's fan are running properly including the graphics cards and the case's fan but i can't pinpoint whats causing the the green activity light to light constantly including the dvd/rw.
    I also tried resetting CMOS but it didn't fix the problem.
    So now i'm starting to wonder if it's to do with compatibility issues between the Hiper Type R PSU and my K8N SLI Platinum motherboard.
    So i just wanted to know if the Hiper Type R 580 PSU is compatible with the K8N SLI platinum?
    I would grately appreciate any assistance.

    In short no.
    The Hiper Type- R 580 does NOT have a -5V supply line
    Although the -5V requirement has been removed from some MSI designs, the MSI page for the K8N SLI Platinum http://msicomputer.co.uk/Products.aspx?product_id=703525&cat_id=77 states:

    MSI Reminds You...
    • These two connectors (JPWR1 & JPWR2) connect to the ATX power supply and have to work together to ensure stable operation of the mainboard.
    • Power supply of 450 watts (and above) is highly recommeded for system stability.
    • For ATX 12V power connection, it should be greater than 18A.
    • For this model, you must use the power supply that with a -5V pin supply.

  • Is my speaker system compatible with MSI K8N SLI Diamond?

    Hi!
    Can I use my old speaker system with MSI K8N SLI Diamond. My speaker system is Creative Inspire 5.1 5500D Digital with decoder. Now 5.1 sound doesn't work properly. When I try look movie with PowerDVD6, center speaker is dead and no speech on movie. On PowerDVD6, SPDIF output is selected and tried also 6.1 channel options but no, speech will not play at center speaker. Some games too 5.1 surround doesn't work. I have connected my speaker system on motherboard coaxial SPDIF to speaker systems Decoder coaxial SPDIF, and speakers on that decoder. Do I have to buy new analog speaker system to get 5.1 surround working? If I connect my speaker system directly on MB analog outputs, sound balance in very bad, rear and front speaker is good but center speaker crackling and speech at center speaker sound like volume level is much too high.

    Quote from: Stick on 10-February-06, 19:24:28
    if you know that the speakers are working (tested on another pc) it is usually a software configuration error. if the decoder would mess up the sounds, it is unlikely that you would hear anything in the other speakers too.
    My speakers systems works perfect my previous setup, when motherboard has nForce2 SoundStorm integrated chip.
    Some other forums, peoples claims that this MSI k8n motherboard can't send multichannel 5.1 surround audio on SPDIF and I have to connect my speakers on motherboard analog sound outputs.

  • CPU cooler that works with K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard

    I have read that some say the Zalman interferes on this board with the 1, and 2 ram slots, is this true?  I'm using the 3500 Winchester CPU.
    Does someone have a part number if the Zalman is;   a)  the best, and  b) clears properly.
    Also I see everyone talking about Artic Silver 5.  What does the"5" mean?  I have Artic Silver that I have been using for about 2 years, but there iis no designation "5".  Do I need the new stuff?
    Thanks

    I don’t know muck about artic silver, but I have a comment on the cpu-cooler question.
    I recently bought a K8N SLI Platinum, which has an almost identical layout as the Neo4 Platinum. I use a Termalright XP 120 cooler which according to there webpage does not fit on this board. But I didn’t had much problem at all! It is tight with the first ram slot thaw, and with a memory just a few millimetres higher than mine it wouldn’t fit (I use TwinMOS PC3200).
    Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s a similar situation with the Zalman coolers, but I really like to recommend the XP120 (or even XP80) anyway. It keeps my cpu (althorn 3000+) at almost the same temp as the sounding system, during normal use. And since you are free to put any fan you like, you have a very good start making your system really quiet.

  • Troubles with SB Blaster onboard sound (MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM)

    Hi guys, sorry for my poor english (I am Italian )
    The SB On Board sound of my k8n sli pt works only with the digital sound output; why????
    Other signals are completely mute (mic, line in, line out)
    Is my mainboard broken??? Help me plz.....

    Quote from: Menego on 18-March-05, 18:43:13
    well unfortunately i have a 20 pin power supply but i took the 20pin to 24pin device Doesn't it work correctly?
    The 24 pin spec requires the -5v pin to have no connection. If you use a 20 to 24 pin adapter lead the -5v pins are not connected. You can try plugging the 20 pin plug into the 24 pin socket offset to one side. Many report having no problesm doing this. Alternatively you can try adding you own lead to the adapter to connect the -5v pins.

  • MSI K8N SLI Platinum crashed with my videocard

    Hi. I don't speak english very vell, so sorry  
    A bought an MSI K8N SLI Platinum mainboard, 7800 GTX Videocard and I don't know use it with NON SLI mode   If the SLI card there in NON-SLI mode, my pc isn't run. Just black screen, and the D-Bracket is show, that the booting is stopped in memory-control (second LED is red.) If I turn my SLI card for SLI mode, accordingly the PCI-E bus is 8x and my PC is run.
    My problem is that, that I don't know run my pc in PCI-E x16
    I tried 6 BIOS, but always was this is the problem
    Ha van itt magyar ember, akkor magyarul a probléma:D:
    Szóval van egy ilyen lapom, de nem tom használni 7800 GTX-el. Egyszerűen nem tudom használni non sli módba, a kép mindig fekete és memória-ellenőrzésnél megáll   sli módban meg megy a gép, de csak 8x-os üzemmódba. ugyan ez a hiba egy 6600 gt-vel is. Szóval helllllp

    First, search the internet for a free translater program and cut n paste.  Second, you need to place the graphics card in the pcie slot next to the cpu.  Third, you need to make sure the SLI switch card is placed "non-sli" with the arrow pointed towards the graphics card.  Finally, you need to make sure your SLI switch card is fully in place so the copper teeth dont show (I made that mistake and my rig didnt boot either).  Just my 2 cents.   
    1st -- ok 
    2nd - the video card is there next to the cpu in 1st PCI-E bus
    3rd -- the SLI switch card is placed non-sli with the arrow pointed towards the graphics card.
    fin --- well, i have no idea about this, 'couse after i've removed the card, i could not push it back to its place fully anymore, so the copper teeth show up. I also tried to force it with a screwdriver, but it didn't work. but i can turn on the card holder

    this explains a little, and yes I have just built this comp, first attempt at a serious upgrade. Apart from problems with faulty stick of RAM in the beggining everything has run smoothly.
    Then I discovered benchtesting and as I said earlier, am a bit how can I say it, mellow so thanks for the reply, and I hope you are still here when I attempt to overclock
    I knew I should have come here first

  • Problems with older PCI-Videocards on K8N SLI Platinum ??

    Hi there,
    i just recieved my K8N SLI Platinum (without NEO) yesterday. Unfortunatly my new PCIe-Videocard isn't here yet,
    so i just built my rig with an old S3 Trio64 to install Windows etc. and to have at least my PC for some surfing and so on...
    The problem is:
    The Card is marked with an ! in the device-manager. It says the card couldn't get its required resources, and that i'd have to
    disable some other device of the system first to fully use the videocard. I checked for IRQ's, but the card has an exclusive one.
    I put it in the second (middle) PCI-Slot on the board. Due to that error, the drivers are not installed correctly and the performance
    of the display is ... well its even to slow for scrolling pages while surfing ... thats realy anoying, and my PCIe-card will not be here
    until the end of next week 
    I even manged to get another old PCI-dinosaur, but with no luck. The same Problem persists. So i think it's some problem with
    the board or some iossettings. The only thing regarding display in the bios was the PCIe / PCI switch which is correctly set to PCI.
    So if anyone knows how to get an old PCI-card running in that board, please help me
    [ApoC]

    Well,
    "f***ing up" the OS is not a problem, i got a GHOST of my perfectly fresh & clean OS.
    I have disabled:
    both SATA-Controllers (still running on good old ATA Samsung SpinPoint P80)
    the FireWire-Controller (which is shown in Windows anyways  )
    I changed the videocard from PCI 2 to PCI 1, with the only result that it shares IRQ with the OnBoard-Soundblaster in slot1.
    In slot2 it gets an exclusive IRQ. The problem is, i can't even see what resources are making trouble since Windows doesn't
    show any information in the cards resource-infos but that it ain't working (say what?)   
    *sigh*

    I remember problems with the APIC-Mode on many nForce-2 Boards. Could this still be a problem? Any infos on that matter yet?

  • K8N sli with 4 X 512 ram?

    I have an OEM K8N sli motherboard using 2 X 512 crucial ram sticks (3200)using slots 3 and 4.Does anyone have any experience with using 4 X 512 ram sticks in this board?Any problems?

    Quote from: uther on 12-April-06, 07:28:15
    Just checked in the bios,and its set on 'auto' and 2T. So,would i see any performance boost changing to 1T (i have 3200 crucial ram) and keeping 2 X 512,or would it be better to use 4 X 512 and 2T? I'm not into overclocking at all,but if i can get an easy performance boost simply by running at 1T then i'm interested!
    If the setting is set to auto then you set it manually using the recommended setting and increased the RAM Volt to 2.7-2.8V. Then set the command rate @ 1T.  Gd luck
