Best Bios in your opinion for Neo2 Plat

Trying all these bios's myself but just curious as to what you ppl have found to be the best bios for your setup with overclocking in mind.
The best I can do so far with my crappy samsung TCCC chips is 265X9.5 or 250X10.5
Also any Ideas why system won't boot overclocked and setting CPU multi to an even number meaning 8,9,10,11,12 the only stable boots I can get are with a half number 9.5, 10.5, 11.5 or 12
Thanks for your thoughts and comments.

Well at 245x10.5 your RAM is running at 233......(245x10.5)/11...
As stated before when half multipliers are used, the RAM is divided by the next whole multiplier.
Also, at 3 and 4 multi, your RAM is not running at the speed you think it is either, but slower.
A full multiplier table can be seen here, posted by Oskar Wu, a DFI mobo tech http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41595&highlight=multiplier+table
Thank you thank you. Now it totally all makes sence. I know I have a really chitty ram but now it makes sence that it won't go that high in ram frequency.
But my question still stands what bios to you all like to use on this mobo.

Install help for neo2 plat-939 mobo

Hi everyone. I first want to say "thanks" to this community for being here. Without it I would have returned my neo2-939 without further trying to get it to run right. Ok here is the situation.
Specs:
3200 939
1 gig munshkin lv2 2-2-2-5 1t
74 gig wd raptor
dvd-rom
entermax psu (431 watt)
gf6800 gt modded to ultra
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the "bh5" error I have read about I am installing the system on a 512 stick of pc2100 ddr. I will then upgrade to the munshkin pc3200.
I have a copy of win 2000 that I need to install and then upgrade to xp. After following this guide https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=54484 I was finally able to get an os installed in this system. Right now it is doing the single raid thing....
Try 1)
I installed 2000 and used the default floppy for the sata/raid setup. Once in 2000 I clicked "yes" to install the raid drivers and the system hung at the next boot right on the w2k logo screen (progress bar @ 1/2 way).
Try 2)
I installed 2000 and when the raid driver came up as "not signed...etc" in the installation process I clicked "not to install it" and the computer went bsod on me after the reboot from the install. (Could not find drive - my guess is due to a lack of a driver for the raid partition)
But with the raid driver not being the correct version (I used the floopy from the box) it hangs after the install of the "default" raid driver in w2k.
Try 3)
Install 2000 and when on the 2000 desktop and raid screen comes up I installed it then said "no" to the reboot and placed my upgrade version of xp in. All is well until it hits the xp logo in setup and the screen freezes and hd actiyity goes dead. I wait 15min before i gave up.
Sooooo
My guess is that I need to have a 2000 driver for the raid on this board. If this is the case how do I get one/find one and how do I make it
"bootable" for the system. Please take note that my 2k cd is just 2k without ANY updates. It is very old but right now it is all that I have (besides the upgrade version of xp pro). If I have to integrate the wk2 cd+updates please let me know and please tell me how to do it froma wk2 desktop (or point me to a website).
Thanks in advance for the hlep!
Until you all post me back....

Well thanks for all of the help (crikets chirp) but I did the best thing I could with this motherboard. Send it back. No one should have to go through this kind of crap just to get a motherboard to run. Thisi product does not have quirks it has major issues. I mean look at the size of this forum and how much of it has to do with things that should be a no brainer for a manf like msi or nvidia. Off with the eng heads! :guillotine:
I am going to go back to a good old via mainboard. While you all are sitting around WONDERING if your sound will work or if your ethernet will go out in the next 30 seconds I will be off playing on my game servers in bliss on my new mobo. Best of luck and I hope the neo2-939 gets its place in the "worst mobo" hall of fame. Bye bye bey........heloooo Abit

I want to get your opinion for Games on Macbook Pro

I want to install a game on my Macbook Pro, but I want to know if work correctly? Is there any chance the problem?

Look at the games specifications, then go under your Apple logo in the top left corner, you will see there the software version (under "About this Mac") as long as the version is above the required version and the game is designed for Apple products then it should work.

As I will be working mostly on the iMac I prefer to connect the 'sharing drive' through a thunderbolt cable to my iMac. As I will be working remotely on my Macbook Pro (All on the same network though) my question is: What kind of drive and/or which solution would suit me best to setup a network between the two computers knowing a thunderbolt connection to my iMac is preferred and a wireless network would service/connect my MacBook Pro.
Good to see you thinking of using a fast hard disk on the desktop rather than network drives.. it is much faster.. the latest iMac should also have USB3 which is slower than thunderbolt but still very fast.. faster than most hard disk.. so the advantage of thunderbolt would be moot.. and the cost of thunderbolt is still excessive.
It is simple .. you just share the disk to the network.
There is a bit here on sharing a drive on the network for TM .. but it doesn't need to be TM.. any files can be copied to the drive.
http://code.stephenmorley.org/articles/time-machine-on-a-network-drive/
Let me make a comment though.. transfer to the disk is going to be rate limited by wireless.. in fact you can use a USB disk plugged into the TC and still get the same speed. Wireless is the limiting factor.. if you use ethernet at all on the laptop then the USB drive on the computer is much faster.
Internal drive on the TC can also be updated.. I don't really like most of the 3TB drives but a 2TB is cheap enough.. and it is simple to replace.. just do a google.
eg
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Apple_Time_Capsule
Then you can use TM to still backup the internal and external drive in the iMac.. do not forget backup is still important.

Best BIOS settings for Kt3 Ultra2 and Geforce4?

Hi,
Can someone tell me what the best BIOS settings would be for my KT3 Ultra2 running a Geforce4 ti4200?
I get crappy scores in 3dMark2001 SE and I have the infamous stuttering/crashing problems in 3D games. I've tried pretty much every configuration of settings and drivers I can think of.
I saw on these forums that the Kt3 Ultra2 can be a bit fussy with GF4 cards. If someone could post the best BIOS settings for performance and stability I'd be eternally grateful.
Alternatively, email me at [email protected] with them.
Thanks in advance

K8N Neo2 Best bios for Opteron 146?

Hi guys,
Forgive the rather basic question, but I haven't been around for a long time and things have moved on a piece.
I am running an old Athlon 64 3200+ in my Neo2, with a very old bios. (See my sig below for current specs.) Heck, if it works, don't mess with it! But tomorrow a new Opteron 146 arrives, so I guess I will need to update the bios.
So what's the recommendation for the best bios to go for?
Will I be OK in "jumping" so many bios versions, or would it be best to do it incrementally?
And finally, I remember some issues about Windows not booting after upgrading the bios. Has this been resolved, or will I need to do a clean Windows install as well? I really *do not* want to have to do a clean install. That would be horrendous.
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers
Chippy

9x290 (2,6Ghz) is a very good OC, passing prime95 with both core´s tested.
I can't complain about a 45% OC... Started with 1.8Ghz.
Quote from: bejon2000 on 02-February-06, 15:13:05
I "only" manage 10x270 ( 2,7Ghz) primestable so far with my DFI and X2 3800+, since one core gets unstable at 2.8Ghz and beyond.
( But I´m still happy, running Pi at 33sec with 3-3-3-7 RAM / Sandra cpu benchmark gives 24.067mips and Sandra mem.benchmark 6.733mbs )
What kind of voltages are you running to get your OC?
I think that I'm starting to reach the limit of what my Neo2 Plat can supply to the Opty - In BIOS, I specified 1.5v+5% and it gives me only 1.45v or so....

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

If you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs.

K8N Neo2 Plat - Is 1.8 still the best bios?

Just bought new gfx card - Sapphire X1600Pro 256MB AGP - for my K8N Neo2 Plat setup (see sig for the rest).
I was getting 3dmark03 scores of 4400 to start with, then it has upped slowly to just over 6000 thanks to the various BIOS experts setup guides. I haven't found the Shgift F2 menu - is that only in later BIOSes ?
I'm only at BIOS 1.3 due to it's amazing stability with this setup, but now of course, I'm wondering if upping to, say, 1.8, might help improve things further ??
TIA

Hello !
The 1.8 bios is very good unless you are planning to run/update to an X2 dual core , then you will need a newer one for sure.
There is nothing faster and better with 1C , EasyBios 1C and my modded have better default values set in it ,EasyBios
have also better reworked layout (more user friendly) , but if you don't have any problems with your current one I would stick with it .
It's almost the same with my Neo1 system (Ms-7030) , I have this frozen at the 1.5b6 bios - with the Newcastle cpu in it
it actually works worse with the latest BIOS

Your opinion on the best web server (for JSP) running on a NT or IIS

HI,
Just a question : in your opinion what's the best way for work with JSP (which needjdbc 2.0) on a NT computer (or IIS) ?
Is it Tomcat, JWSDK,...
Thanks for replying.

I already install Tomcat 3.2, but it give me (when I load my JSP pages) different error as JWSDK1.0.1 and , for sure, my code is correct : the only thing which convinced me to change my JAVA server is that I need to use the Resulset.first method (implemented in JDBC 2.0).
Why ?
Or have we got other JAVA web server

Best Bios Settings for stability/performance on Neo2 Platinum?

My sys has been running for several days and has cut off twice. Wondered if any of my settings in Bios could be responsible. Before getting to the general questions about the Bios, wanted to ask for answers to questions generated after running Sis Sandra Lite.
1. SMBios/DMI info may be inaccurate
2. Check vCore settings. vCore less than rated minimum
3. Check to see if Bios is being shadowed
My responses to the above:
1. Don't know what to do
2. Cool 'N Quiet says my vCore is 1.06, but the BIOS says 1.45. What's up?
3. In Bios I have "system bios cacheable" enabled, so doesn't that take care of shadowing?
I've been spending a lot of time in the Bios and realize there are several things that I have left at default because I don't know what the #@!* they are. Can anyone give suggestions on best choices for these settings:
1. Advanced Bios Features:
Gate A20=Fast (Other Options=Normal)
APIC Function=Enabled (Disabled)
MPS Table Version=1.4 (1.1)
2. Advanced Chipset Features
AGP Aperture Size=128 (32,64,256,512)
AGP Fastwrite=Enabled (Disabled)
3. Onboard I/O Chip Setup
EPP Mode Select= EPP1.7 (EPP1.9)
ECP Mode USE DMA=3 (1)
4. Power Management
Sleep State=S1(POS) (S3(STR))
Video Off Method=DPMS Support (Blank Screen, V/H Sync+Blank)
5. Cell Menu
High Performance Mode= Manual (Optimized)
Spread Spectrum=Enabled (Disabled)
Adjust AGP Frequency=66 (67, 68, ...73)
Adjust CPU VID=startup (1.4,1.425,1.450 ...1.550)
Adjust CPU Ratio=startup (4, 4.5, 5, ...7)
In general:
Voltages stable in CNQ & Bios
CPU Temps=low 40's
Sis Sandra and Performance Test, based on Prime95, didn't ring any bells about my memory. I downloaded mem86, but don't know how to use it. Any advice, does it run under Windows?
I'm throwing a lot of stuff at you, but i would appreciate any and all advice.

Quote
1. Parallel Port=SPP. Do you recommend this instead of EPP/ECP?
Sorry don't use it so can't help Leave on default i would guess
Quote
2. Spread Spectrum=Disabled What does it do and why is it better disabled?
see [ur=https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=54798.0l]The Complete Guide to Spread Spectrum [/url] If you go into the cell menu & watch the spread spectrum whilst you increase saty the FSB from 200 you will see spread spectrum turn itself off. So to some extent you can leave it to look after itself. But there have been occasions when disabling it has helped stability.
Quote
3. Why does Cool 'N Quiet report such a different vCore (1.06) from the Bios (1.45)? It also reports 201 Mhz X 5 = 1004Mhz. In the Bios the Front Side Bus is 200
Do you mean CoreCentre with Cool'n'Quiet enabled ?? Another Good Read Cool 'n' Quiet FAQ The 201 instead of 200 is normal

K8N Neo2 Plat power and bios question

I have a K8N Neo2 Plat. I use a UltraProducts 500W xconnect PSU and a BFG 6800 GT OC.
A couple weeks ago the 6800 died. I contacted BFG and they sent me a new one.
The new one died the same way after a week. They said to check the power levels on the +12 rail.
In windows using softare tests it reports 13.58
in the bios it reports 12.22
both are over the allowed variance.
Ultra products told me to check with my motherboard manufacturer to see if there was a BIOS setting that would let me set the power on the +12V rail. Is that possible?
Is that something my K8N Neo2 Plat can do?

No, you cannot lower the 12V-rail by a bios setting. I really don't see what they mean by that.
Your motherboard does, however, regulate the power that comes from the power supply. Within certain margins it can lower the voltage and keep it steady. Your videocard can do the same. Now, depending on the tolerance (quality) of your hardware, you can vary on those margins. But on any piece of hardware, there is a point on which it cannot correct/lower a voltage that is too high. It then simply shuts down or dies.
To my opinion, the PSU-maker gave you a very funny piece of advice. What he actually says is that their psu may give too high a voltage (I talk about the 13+ now), but your hardware should correct this. That's not the way it works: they should make psu's that give 12V where it should. So, I'd demand a replacement. But, before you do: use a multimeter to measure the 12V-rail. You cannot trust the board's measurement too well.
But then, like Stick says, I think that 12.22 is within mentioned margins. 13.58V is too high. So, that's why you should first measure using a multimeter. Measure for a longer time. System idle, system full load. Write everything down and see how steady this psu is. If 12V dances arround, replace it.

Does Neo2 Plat bios 1.4 official contain all the "updates" in the beta bios 1.36/1.37

given the minimal info on change logs in the beta bios for the Neo2 plat..does the official 1.4 bios contain the updated in 1.36b and 1.37b
thus is 1.4 bios the best bios...

1.4 is the latest official bios. Normally new bioses are cumulative and include the previous fixes.
Working fixes of bios 1.36 and 1.37 sould even be included in version 1.3, because this is the final version of the 1.3x betas.

Yes an announcement to all IDIOTS, it is at your own risk so don't bother sueing MSI like someone did already as our forum was almost closed down thanks to their ignorance...
Thanks for posting the link BTW, might take a look...
