K8N neo4 plat northbridge fan

The fan on my northbridge(K8N neo4 plat ultra) has died on me. Is there a replacement that is orderable? or am I looking at replacing the mobo?

I had one of these laying around & mounted it to my Neo4 as soon as I took it out of the box - Because I heard plenty of bad things about the stock fan.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835110103
Very quiet, cools great (never exceeds 32C) & fits perfectly.
You can see a pic of it mounted here - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=93129.360

Neo4 Plat CPU and VGA cooling

Just wanted to get a few opinions on good and quiet cooling for my CPU and Vid card.
Neo4 Plat board; AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU
GeForce 6800 Ultra
I've read a lot of reviews and it seems that Zalman is the quietest way to go.
VF700-AlCu for Vid card
and
CNPS7000-AlCu for CPU
Is anyone using this setup, can you post your opinions?
Other recommendations?
Thanks.

Agree with that GPU cooler
I used to have a Arctic silencer, but the fan is only balanced @100% (I tested 3), therfore to noisy 4 my taste. I put the Zalman on the NBfan connector, and the NB fan on a handy 5v connector that came with the Zalman.
This way corecenter manages the fan speed, which is handy cus the Zalman also blows over the HTT hub hsf 8)
Best cooler 4 ur board is the thermalright XP90, according to this list:
http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/p4sum.asp
Get a Vantec Stealth or Panaflo fan to mount on it. @stock u should be able to keep it round 1000rpm.

Power Supply Selecton for K8N Neo4 Plat. Ultra

I am looking at 3 PSU's for this MotherBoard and following setup below.
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Ultra Socket 939
MSI NX6600GT PCIE Video Card
2- WD Raptors 36 GB
1- DVD/RW
1- CD/RW
2- Sticks Crucial Ballistic 1GB Matched Pair
1- Floppy Drive
2- 120mm Case Fans
2- 80mm Case Fans
Windows XP Pro SP2
Power supplies in question:
OCZ45012U 3.3v Rail=28a 5v Rail=45a 12v Rail=26a INPUT 10/6a
OCZ52012U 3.3v Rail=28a 5v Rail=45a 12v Rail=26a INPUT 12/6a
Rosewill RP550 3.3v Rail=30a 5v Rail=50a 12v Rail=35a
The only difference I can see in the 2 OCZ's, is the INPUT. The 450 OCZ is about a $30.00 cheaper than the 520 OCZ.
Can someone tell me what effect the INPUT amp would make??
Thanks for any and all advice.

Thanks to all that have responded to this topic. I did some more searching and was able to determine some more facts on both of the OCZ PSU's.
OCZ45012U 3.3v = 28a 5v = 45a 12v = 26a Peak Load 60 Sec. 550W INPUT 10/6a Price: $89.99
OCZ52012U 3.3v = 28a 5v = 52a 12v = 28a Peak Load 60 Sec. 620W INPUT 12/6a Price: $108.99
Now I can clearly see that the OCZ52012U is stronger on the +5V rail and the +12V rail. For less than $20.00 in the prices, I have for now decided to go with the OCZ52012U and it looks as though it will suit my needs just fine. The confusion to start with was some information on the NewEgg site that had some specs incorrect. I found the correct specs by looking directly at the power supply stickers on both units.

Can anyone explain this bizarre Neo4 plat/sli circumstance?

Just had mobo upgraded to Neo4 plat/sli. I only have IDE drives in the system currently. They are PHYSICALLY connected in this way:
IDE socket 1 cable
master - 80GB HDD, empty drive
slave - DVD burner
IDE socket 2 cable
master - 120GB HDD, OS installed here (WIN XP PRO SP2)
slave - 120GB HDD, data resides on this disk.
HOWEVER...
The drives are being recognized at bootup in this way:
Primary Master - 120GB HDD with OS (physically on IDE socket 2 as master)
Primary Slave - DVD Burner (physically on IDE socket 1 as slave)
Secondary Master - 80GB HDD (physically on IDE socket 1 as master)
Secondary Slave - 120GB HDD with data (physically on IDE socket 2 as slave)
Further, the WIN XP disk management utility shows the drives in a similar manner:
Disk 0 - 120GB w/ OS (drive C:)
Disk 1 - 80GB (no drive letter)
Disk 2 - 120GB w/ data (drive E:)
DVD burner - (drive D:)
How can this be? I thought that to show as primary master, a drive must be connected to IDE socket 1 as master? And how in the world can the Primary master and slave drives reside on two different IDE cables?
I didn't do this installation and cannot talk to the tech who did until Monday. FWIW, everything is working just fine. And it all appears to be jumpered properly. But before I go about the process of loading up all my software, etc., I feel a need to understand why this is happening. Is this a function of a bios setting that I can't find?
Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!

Well, in the first place welcome to the forum, secondly what you present it's correct, the system drive (OS drive) it has to always be the drive C: that's not a question of Master and Slave because if you go to the system properties you will see those drives as they are configured in the BIOS.
But for me that is a strange configuration....
Be well....

Neo4 Plat SLI & geforce 8800 GTX

Can anyone confirm if the geforce 8800 GTX will run in a Neo4 Plat SLI? The last bios mentions support for the GX2's but no new updates for the 8800 series.

Tested it and it works You might have to fiddle around with the cooler a bit - There's a capacitor next to the PCIE slot wich is in the way
Only 1 card tho, you can't run SLI on this board as the 8800GTX requires a full x16 slot and won't work on a x8 slot
so x8 - x8 SLI won't work.

Max stable CPU voltage supported by K8n Neo4 Plat.?

My vcore voltage fluctuates between 1.44v and 1.50v. In the bios I have 1.42+6.6%(see my sig). I have ran prime 95 for 24h stable, but recently I tried OCCT(a french program). The first test ran for 30min OK, the torture test froze my computer within an hour or two. My question is what is Max stable CPU voltage supported by K8n Neo4 Plat.?Because obviously when the mobo drops it to 1.44 it IS NOT ENOUGH. Difference of .06v obviously is critical for the stability. Anyway it should be 1.425+6.6%=1.519 which is nowhere near 1.44. I currently run at 36-38C idle and 45C under load. Is it a bios problem? I use 1.6 bios and I don't have any problems whatsoever.
Any opinions appreciated.
BTW tried to raise the mobo voltage at 1.55(1.50 default) but seems that there is no difference.
BIOS shows my voltages as follows:
+3.3v=3.12 to 3.15 mostly stays at 3.14 pc wizard shows 3.14, core center shows 3.22
+5.5v=4.96 to 4.99
+12v =11.96 to 12.22 core center shows 11.96, pc wizard shows 12.22

dont blame MSI for your financial situations. If you could afford the proper hardware then you wouldnt need to overclock and such. JMO.
I can afford the proper hardware. In fact, I bought a DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI DR to replace the defective K8N Neo4 SLI board.
As soon as the new K8N board comes back from RMA, I figure to sell it - say half off. I think for something that may or may not work as advertised, half price is fair.
And speaking of processors, these Venice chips are really phenomenal - they're just like (or maybe even better than) the good old XP1700 JIUHB chips. I still have one of those - and strangely enough, it's still running - in an MSI K7T Turbo 2 board (KT133A). That JIUHB served me well - it'd do a 500MHz overclock with no strain at all. If I had water cooling, I bet I coulda got 1 GHz out of it.
The two Venice 3200 processors I have both seem to be really good overclockers. The one that was in the rig I RMA'd is the best - right now in the new Lanparty board, I've got it running at 2.5 GHz (1:1 @ 250 MHz) with about 1.55 volts. It's idling at about 30c and only runs at about 44c under load - and the AS5 hasn't even cured yet!
That chip is gonna be one helluva overclocker!
I'll let it run at 2.5 GHz for another week or so till the AS5 has cured, then I'll see just how far I can go (without the temps getting too high). The way it's gone from this point, I think 2.7 GHz is very reasonable for a goal.
And as I think newbie222 pointed out, as long as the temps are kept reasonable, there is no actual risk to the processor.
The point I was making is that with my old, defective K8N, that would not have been possible - BECAUSE THE BOARD WAS DEFECTIVE. It was defective because the vcore did not operate up to spec (wouldn't go as high as it was advertised to) and because of the voltage fluctuations.
How would you feel if you bought a new car that was advertised as getting 24 MPG highway and it only got 17 MPG? Or if you ordered Comcast's 8 Mb/s downstream Gold Tier and only got 6 Mb/s downstream? Or if you ordered a 102 channel cable package that turned out to only have 88 channels?
It's all the same exact, precise thing.
If MSI advertises you can get a vcore of 1.7> volts then you fer damned sure better be able to get it.
The main reason people buy boards like the K8N is to overclock - it's the "enthusiast" community that the board is targeted to.
I find it hard to believe anyone would even want to buy one of these boards and not overclock. What's the point? If all someone wants is something that will run at stock speeds, then they oughta save a few bucks and buy a Dell or whatever.

Need help ASAP: No video card signal for neo4 plat

I just bought a new case, motherboard, ram, video card, power supply, and CPU. i took my drives from my old Dell and placed them into this case and the MSI neo4 plat. motherboard (specs at the bottom). after getting it to post, i noticed there was no video. i triple checked for anything that wasn't hooked up or loose. everything seemed good. i'm using a VGA monitor. i looked at the D-bracket 2 and noticed that it had 3 red lights and one green in the lower right hand corner. in the manual this means no video signal... well obviously. what does this mean and how can i fix it? my video card's fan is working. i see no spot for a PCI express power input. any ideas? i use my computer a lot and need to do some things before i leave for vacation on the 15th. i'd like to resolve any issues before i leave so i can relax about it when i get back.
thanks,
Zack

well it seems things have gotten worse, after taking out the ram the other day and putting it back in thinking it was a ram problem, which it turned out not to be, it is giving me a ram problem. i just snapped em in a few times in all possible configurations and nothing is changing.

K8N Neo4 Plat (non sli) Device manager error !

guys:
need some help. as stated,, have just received a k8n neo4 plat (non sli). just installed win xp pro (many thanx to people on forum for good tips on coming up clean). i have 1 problem, i have 1 item in device manager banged out (!), its a "PCI Memory Controller. i have nothing on mobo cept 1 6600 gt video card, 1 stick mushkin 3200 dram, i maxtor 200gb sata hard drive. searched on msi's site for this driver and can't find it. any ideas on what i'm missing?? sorry for not having rest of sys specs in sig but just got this puter up and running and i would like to get this driver installed before i pack it in for night. thanx for any help on this one.

igmox:
thanx!!! standalone drivers did the trick. when i was puttin this puter together i downloaded the standalone drivers and extracted them onto a cd. when i booted, anything in device mangler that was banged out, i updated the drivers via the cd. this time i downloaded the standalone drivers, ran the exe (unchecked the ide drivers, since i'm gonna try and run 6 dvd burners) and viola,, driver found.

MSI GTX 780 TI/R9 290x in the Cooler Master Elite 130?

Hello
I am intendet to assemble a very compact and minimalist (only 1 SSD and only one LP Ram 8GB) Gaming PC
But i dont want deny at all at one of those high end graphic card on the market now such as
-MSI R9 290X2
-MSI GTX 780 TI
I like a lot a cooler master 120 or 130
Is it possible to fit it in?
consiering i will use an i7 processor and a mini itx mobo.
I read the specs of that case and the official web site claims that can host GPU up to 343 mm lenght
What about the PSU i should get?
How many WATT for my (future)components?
-GPU (one of those i mentioned above
-Samsung EVO 120 GB SSD
-Corsair Vengeance LP (2X8GB)
-Mother board M-ITX (i dont know wich one yet)
-Processor intel i7 no overclocking
Said that,how many WATT should i pick my PSU?
Thanks

it would be tight and you will need to be very creative with your assembly as space is very limited in those small form factor cases (I know as my HTPC has one of the 130 versions and its very tight to fit a card into the chasis but a large card does fit but the power cables are a little bit of a fiddle to get into the connectors as its a little cramped inside but its doable)
AMD R9-290x2 is a upcoming card with dual GPU but that will not fit in the case due to its weird cooling system as there is no way you could route the water cooler I think!

Cooler master aero 7 problems

So, I got the above cooler and now I'm havin' problems. First off I'd rather seat a Jeep on my cpu. This thing is giant and bulky.
My first problem was after I put it on, I've power up, and then I'd die about 4 secs after. Now I've seated it again and my default vcore is around 1.87. What's up with that? I can manually set it correctly, but.... Also, I got crashes and reboots on what is usually a stable overclock (though with a mild overclock I ran prime 95 error free for 3 hours).
I guess I have to seat it again!

Sorry, I have the 7+.
I've reflashed my bios - and no more flicker!

MSI Z68MA-ED55 B3 + Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler Compatibility

Guys, Anyone please advise if Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler is compatible to Z68MA-ED55 motherboard. What i exactly mean is that will it fit without me having to move the RAM to other slots? Thanks guys!

Depends on the RAM. If you intend to get flashy RAM modules that have heatspreaders (useless for all practical purposes) as high as mountains, then you have a problem. If you stick to JEDEC standard modules, i.e. black chips on green sticks, or Low profile modules, then these should fit just nicely.
Suggest you read the technical design document of the cooler and check what the clearance is from the heatsink upwards to where the cooling fins start. Check the technical design specs of your intended mem modules and see what the height is. That should give you a good indication.
If you want an excellent cooler that has plenty clearance by design, consider the Zalman 9900 series.

Newbie with MSI neo4 Plat

hey there,

recently i got this problem. Randomly my display goes blank, like the PC is on standby. The pc seems to be running but the monitor seems to be set to standby.
after i restart the PC(only able to do by the reset button, cannot Ctrl+Alt+del) everything seems to be ok.
the problem seems to occur randomly.
anyone have any idea what's going on here?
thanx for reading.

What kind of monitor, how is it connected and does it use calibration software. I've seen this with Samsung (and some OEM brands made by Samsung) monitors, which use Magictune, connected to the DVI port. Basically Magictune is crap ands clobbers the monitor's EDID info so that it switches to the VGA port - you can check this by plugging in the VGA cable. Depending on the monitor, it can cause permanent damage to the monitor's firmware which requires a firmware re-burn... or as apparently in your case, temporary damage which is fixed with a reboot. The only solution is to get a newer version of Magictune.. or dump it completely.

Neo4 Plat Wont recognize any keyboard!

Just put my computer together
msi neo4 plat
1 gig(2x512) pc4400 mushkin
ati x800xl
audigy2 zs
AMD 3200+ Venice
OCZ power stream 520
It boots but it gets stuck on the the "hit del to enter bios" screen. Only thing is it wont recognize any keyboard i hook up to it, usb or serial.
This is my first msi board, decided to go with it over what i usually get, asus, so far im pretty disapointed.
Is this board faulty?
HELP PLZ!

Quote from: delirious? on 16-June-05, 15:51:22
took it out and reset bios. still nothing.
This thing wont even make it past the "platinum" screen. If i reset the bios sometimes it will make it to post but it still need to get into bios and without a keyboard im sol.
really thinking about returning this thing and getting something else thats not msi.
I had about the same issue with my platinum neo4. It had the battery at 2.2V (measured) and the bios showed 1.2V for the battery.
I wasn't able to save bios settings (blank screen when I did) and returned it to the shop. They're still investigating and probably give me some feedback tomorrow. I still want the same MSI board because it ran very smooth for about a week and hope this issue will be solved somehow.

MOVED: K89 NEO4 PLAT/SLI Do I have to send it back?

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
K89 NEO4 PLAT/SLI Do I have to send it back?

No worries.
As for the Bios flash all you need to do with a newer core top get it to come up for posting or Bios Adjustments/Flashing is to use a single Stick of RAM. That forces the CPU's Memory Controller into single channel and that will get it done. If you try to post in dual channel with older Bios's that do not fully support a newer chip it will lock and you need then just to remove all RAM except from Slot 1 and reset the Bios as per your user manual.
No worries as it is not as hard as it sounds.
