Core Center Pro Problems w/MSI-9620v1 (K8N Master2-FAR)

-Running XP as shown in sig,
---My issue is Core Center running on two User accounts, causes instabilities or maybe just false readings, resulting in Alarm/Shut Down. Shutting down and then jumping to BIOS's H/W Monitor shows it's not even close to my alarm settings, let alone critical. With the system temporarily being at the tattoo shop while sending his MoBo out for repairs, the two User accounts must be accessed on a regular basis, so fast switching/switch users is the preferred method log logging on.
---Originally I had issues with Core Center showing in Taskbar on all accounts other than mine/Admin, though it was a running process. Added. When I thought it wasn't loading, I started it (clickity-click on icon) and it automatically would say CPUs were overheated.
---Is there a fix that can allow the Core Center to run on two profiles, or am I going to have to shut it down when switching to another profile and open it when the other profile logs in? That would be a bit of a hassle for the other user. He's computer illiterate & would be happier jumping on the computer, searching craig's list or whatever, and then getting off the computer without having to click this, click that and click that before he logs on/off.

I do not know many people that use CoreCenter.
I stopped using it myself in the beginning, as you can simply set the fans in the BIOS.
And the over-temp-shutdown is done by the BIOS automaticly so no reason to set in CC either.
-Thanks Bas,
---I can't adjust anything but alarms in CC anyway, so I just use it for the advanced warning. Maybe it was a conflict between BIOS & CC that caused it, never checked to see if the settings were the same between the two User Profiles, but again the 2nd User profile is gone, so it won't be a problem for me any longer.
---So to me, your response sums it up. Wanted to do this first thing, but wanted to test them first and see if the fuss about OEM coolers was justified. Time to upgrade the CPU coolers; Well, at least the one for CPU2, nearest PCI-E1 (which is always 4°C-8°C higher than CPU1). I've notice temps have gone up 9°C on all (system, CPU1 & CPU2) since I first built the machine, but just wrote that off in thought as "the new BeQuiet! PSU is single fan where the Ultra was dual". Though they're clean to the eye (system is cleaned of all dust, what little there is due to intake filter) and they still show a steady 5900RPM, the CP1 fan shows intermittent (false I would imagine) report of 11k every great once in a while (not in BIOS though).
---In the good name of forum etiquette, I will search for recent cooler alternative topics and jump in. If none found, I will add to an old, unlocked thread... and if still none found, I will start anew.
---Thanks again,

  • K8N Master2-FAR

    Hi guys,N
    I'm in kinda trouble. I bought this new socket 940 MSI motherboard K8N Master2-FAR.
    The problem is the following. I dont know what power supplie to use for this type of motherboard. It requires 3 +12V connectors for JPWR1 (24pin), JJPWR2 (8pin) and JPWR3 (4pin).
    Now most power supplies have only 2 12V cables , one for the 24pin and one for the 8pin. As its not enough this motherboard also requires a power supply that comes with a -5V pin supply (donno what that means).
    For the moment i bought an Antec Neo HE500 watts power supply but he doesnt have a third cable (JWPR3) and doesnt support -5V pin supply. Antec replied to me that NONE of there new power supply supports this -5V pin supply
    Can anyone plz help me? Maybe a list of compatible power supplies or the power supplie that MSI used to test this motherboard.
    Greetz
    Geoffrey

    well ok,
    lemme explain as clear as possible cause my english is not my native language :D.
    1) In the manual of the msi mainboard is written that the power supply MUST COME with a -5V pin supply (Its very rare on a power supply cause even Antec, or coolermaster hasnt such a line). Now, i looked at the tested power supplys on that mainboard and I saw a ZIPPY power supply that comes with such a -5V pin supply. The -5V pin is located at the 20th pin of the 24pins connector.
    Now this is the tricky part: MSI mainboard (8kN master 2far) Requires such a -5V BUT on the manual is a schedule of the 24pin connector on the mainboard itself. On that schedule is NOWHERE a -5V pin located. So why the hell do they require a power supply with a -5V pin supply when the 24pin connector doesnt have one. On the 20th pin is 3VSB located and NOT -5V as the zippy connector does.
    Isnt this confusing......  .... how do i suppose the let my mainboard work properly when they give contradictionary information  . I find that a 275€ mainboard may have a better manual .
    Can anyone explain this? :D

  • Core Center Pro

    Hmmmm I actually have a couple of questions on this. Currently according to Web Site this is latest core center pro for K8T Master 2 Far V1.01.03, 2003/12/03.
    On a machine i have built for a customer his CPU2 temp is 70 on mine its 42.
    His rpms on cpu 2 is less than 3k, I tried to set this higher but software keeps putting it auto mode and wont let me set it higher. My thought is there has to be a setting in registry, I unistalled it and reinstalled it. No luck.
    In bios, there is a setting for the fan tolerance and says 1-5, is 5 higher tolerance meaning that only if cpu temp is at extreme that it runs fan higher?
    Next question is 70 acceptable? what is the max temp i should like be concerend about?

    I think 70 is bit high for continuous use.  The CPU protection will automatically shut down your sytem if temp reaches 90 but that's to avoid immediate, catastophic damage.
    Mine runs a around 40C.  I don't see how the one you built is getting so hot unless the case a poor design or you have some mondo video card blowing heat onto your CPU.
    The only time my temps where anywhere near that high is when I tried using an internal USB media card reader  .  Needless to stay, the reader stays unplugged until I'm ready to use it.

    I have one question for you. The motherboard has three power connectors. A 24 pin , a 8 pin and a 4 pin. Looking at your specs i see that you have the OCZ Powersteam 520W Power Supply Unit. I looked at a review of this PSU and it has the following connectors for this: 20+4 connector and a 4+4 connector. So the 24 pin and the 8 pin connectors are covered. All the pci-e connectors i see are 6 pins, also for this PSU. What did you do with the 4 pin connector close to the pci-e slot?

  • Quick FYI: WaterCooling Block compatible with the MSI K8N Master2-FAR

    If you're like me, you hated the noise from the stock CPU fans on the K8N Master2-FAR... well I did alot of searching and couldnt find any difinitive information about what fit, or didnt fit, on that motherboard as far as heatsinks or cooling blocks.
    I just finished installing a water cooling system in my system, and I used the PolarFlo E-Series CPU blocks, and they fit perfectly!

  • Windows XP won't load on K8N Master2-FAR after BIOS Flash

    I downloaded the w9620nms.110 version BIOS from the MSI website and flashed the BIOS.  Since that time, Windows XP Pro will not load successfully.  I re-flashed to go back to the 1.00 version and even tried the 1.26 version I got from this site.  Each time it still didn't work.  I cleared the CMOS and retried.  Still no good.
    I reformatted the windows partition on the HDD (nVidia RAID stripe) and reinstalled windows.  The installation seemed to go fine, but when the system tried to load Windows, it failed again.  Just keeps re-booting.
    Is there some setting in the BIOS that got changed in the flash that I'm missing that effects this?  A setting that needs changing back (other than the SATA RAID which I've re-set and whish is recognized by windows and the BIOS).
    Or, it is possible the RAID stripe was corrupted somehow?
    The system worked for several months before the flash.
    Any help on this is much appreciated!!

  • K8N Master2-FAR - System fan shows 0 rpm ???

    Hi, I just got the K8N Master2-FAR and equipped it with two dual core opterons 265 and 4gb of dual channel ram.
    My biggest problem right now is that all the system fans are running at full speed, though the hardware monitor in the BIOS show 0 rpms for them?
    At the same time my cpu fans are blowing at about 3600 rpms even though their temperature is only about 36 degrees C...
    It sounds a lot like a jetplane, and I'm worried the case will start flying 
    - what to do, what to do???

    Quote from: Djernis on 02-April-06, 18:15:14
    I've got the system fans fixed now  -Faulty wiring... my own fault
    However the speed of the cpu fans are still running 3600-4000 when they are idle at about 36-37 C  ???
    like what i have said, u can use speedfan to control it..
    @admin, soory for using msn stylo....

  • K8N master2-far doesn't detect Areca 1220 raid controller

    Today i purchased the last components for my system. Everything works perfectly except for my Areca 1220 8x pci-e raid controller. As i feared the controller is nowhere to be seen, not in the bios, not in windows. I already had bios version v1.10 but flashed the bios version on the msi site anyway. Nothing changed. On the msi site under "QVL" i see my Areca at the bottom of the list. Does that mean that this MB can work with this controller? What must i do to make it work? I think i have to see it at least in the bios!
    Your help is appreciated. Now 5x 300 GB of storage is doing nothing.
     

    Quote from: Bas on 10-November-05, 20:30:00
    Maybe you need to update the cards firmware.
    I already looked into that matter and found out that the only way to upgrade the firmware or bios is to use their http tool McRAID Storage Manager. This of course is done in windows. Now windows doesn't see my Areca 1200 and so McRAID doesn't see it either. I can't update my Areca.
    This problem is well known by the motherboard manufacturers. Let me quote something from the Areca site:
    Q10150407 - Is there any socket 939 motherboards that work with your model ARC-1210 raid controller? In a SLI board I would use one 16x slot for Graphics card.
    Our PCIe ARC-12xx series controller uses Intel IOP332/333 processor. The Intel high performance IOP (IOP331/332/333) has integrated the bridge chip in the controller. But the original NVIDIA nForce4 SLI chipset BIOS has the problem after Bridge IRQ routing. All controllers use Intel new IOP 332/333, such as Areca, Intel, and LSI have the same IRQ routing problem. Those NVIDIA 939 M/Bs can be worked in the Windows environment. Due to the Windows system takes over the BIOS job, and Linux & FreeBSD need to use the M/B BIOS, so it has problem with our PCIe controller.
    Currently, DFI, Ausu, MSI and Gigabyte have BIOS to solve the problem. If you have problem in this kind of mainboard, please try to manufacture latest BIOS.
    We have tested DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI & ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, and Asus A8N-SLI Premium. It works very well with our firmware 1.38 and newest mainboard BIOS. Try to swap the graphic and our controller, if you find some warm boot problem in the Asus A8N-SLI Premium.
    I still think i need an updated bios for the k8n master2-far (ms-9620). The fact remains that there are problems reported with every SLI motherboard. I knew this already from the socket 939 platforms. I was sceptical about the k8n master2-far but thought that a server MB should have no problems. I did ask a question about this however at the shop where i bought this MB. I even found an reply from you to another user who had similar concerns about the Areca controllers and an SLI MB. You said that it should not be a problem. Even so i always kept the possibily open that this problem can happen. And here i am 
    Thanks for your help. More input is always appreciated as i am still waiting for an answer from MSI in the Netherlands about this problem. Right now my server is doing nothing. I hope my raid controller will work very soon.

  • K8N Master2-FAR MS-9620 (v1.X) - Adequate PSU?

    Hey all,
    This is my first post. Been having some post/ display issues as well as continuous beeps that do not stop until i turn the PC off. All turns on and runs, but absolutely zero display to the monitor and continuous beeps.  No pattern...just beeps and black screen.
    After much research, resetting cards, resetting ram,using single stick, single graphics card, etc. (not touching CPUs yet) - i've understood the PSU could be faulty. (thanks to another post)
    With this board K8N Master2-FAR MS-9620 (v1.X)  the manual recommends a minimum 600w supply as well as a -5V pin supply (page 2-8 of the manual)
    Any education and advice on which PSUs in the current market are compatible for this board is greatly appreciated.
    What should i be looking for?
    What on new egg tells me the PSU has a -5V pin supply?
    Build was done in 2006, pooped out in 2012 - life happens, and i'm finally getting around to working on it. Original PSU was 550W Cooler Master 'RS-550-ACLY'
    Thank you so much, and i do hope that the PSU is the issue and not the board.   

    computer worked no problem before, for a solid couple years - pretty mcuh sat for a while
    broke it down  to troubleshoot: 1 cpu, new 1000 watt psu, 1 ram stick, 1 graphics card.
    Interchanged out each individually and tested after each swap out - same results. Tryed different ram in different slots.
    Just keeps beeping. 
    I did get a new case. Would the case front panel connections cause issues?  hmmm?  but this was having same issues in first case (just didn't have a speaker connected to board to hear any beeps)
    maybe i should disconnect the case connections and then try booting without it connected?
    i'll try that, but at the same time - i've been hunting for another compatible motherboard to support the devices....with these being from 2005/2006 and technology advancing so fast - finding similar ATX board, with dual socket 940 opterons and SLI ready  capability is a bear.

  • K8N Master2-Far, Single 144 Opteron & Areca 1220

    Hi
    I would appreciate feedback please.  I have already built a Gigabyte based Samba server using the Areca 1120 (PCI-X) RAID controller & 2 x Opterons.
    For reasons too complicated to explain, I now want to build much the same thing but using a single 144 Opteron and the Areca 1220 (PCI-E) RAID Controller.  This is JUST a Samba file server, it doesn't do games, isn't used for browsing the web, OpenOffice, etc. and sadly, will not be 'Folding'.
    I was on the point on ordering a K8N Master2-Far, Areca, ECC RAM, PSU (dual-line !) etc. when I read some of the postings on this board.  Now, I'm not so sure . . .
    There appear to be a number of 'issues' with this MoBo.  If you have built a system based on it, how has it gone ?  What BIOS version are you using ?  What PSU are you using ?  I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone who has experience with it and with the Areca 1220.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Core Center wont show NB temp on K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Is it just me or does core center not show my north bridge temp? i can control the fan speeds for the cpu and nb and it shows my cpu and system temp, but under my nb temp it doesn't show anything.
    Is it because the board doesn't have a sensor for the north bridge? or is core center just screwing up??

    There is no thing as system/case temp sensor on theese mobos.Only cpu & nv-chipset .
    The temperature you see in corecenter as systemp is actually the nvidia chipset temperature .
    Northbridge memory functions is taken over by the athlon 64 , thats why MSI finds it more reasonable to display
    the nv-chip temp as systemp (remember that corecenter is an allround app for all msi mobos) .
    Rest of the nb/sb functions are implemented as a single chip solution in the nvidia chipset chip.
    So the traditional nb/sb solution is no longer existing.
    The Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX each features its own integrated memory controller—single-channel for the Athlon 64 and dual-channel for the Athlon 64 FX. Instead of connecting to a traditional northbridge, these CPUs connect to a video card through a HyperTransport Graphics Tunnel. Data intended for components like PCI cards, disk drives, and USB peripherals is then routed through a HyperTransport I/O Hub, which is embedded in the core logic chip.

  • Core Center & Temperature problems

    Hello!
    I've noticed, that in Core Center, there are only two readings; the CPU temperature and the Northbridge temperature.
    In the BIOS I see those readings too. But in Core Center, the temperature of the Nortbridge is 'N/A'.
    It's strange, because in Core Center the 'Case temperature' IS the Northbridge temperature, and definitly not the Case temp.
    If I start Speedfan or Aida32, I see a strange third temperature reading; it's only 6 degrees Celsius. What the ...???
    Ok, Bios 1.4 corrected my CPU temperature, but where's my case reading? ...  
    Here, a picture of my Core Center...
    Hope you can help!

    An integrated memory controller removes one of the major roles of the external North Bridge. The main function of the Northbridge is to handle the memory, CPU, and AGP data-transfer duties and to make the most efficient use of available resources as well as the data link to the Southbridge functions. Keeping all these components supplied with data is the core duty of the Northbridge, and its performance is a factor of its timings, buffers, and memory clock speeds.
    Compared to the Northbridge, the chipset's Southbridge component provides support for a wide variety of devices with many differing bus speeds and designs. Control over secondary buses (USB, IDE, PS/2, Ethernet) is the Southbridge's domain.
    AMD took the step and integrated a North Bridge on the CPU die . The only thing that remains of the conventional external North Bridge is an AGP controller.
    So in my definition it is wrong to call the nvidia chipset for northbridge.

  • MOVED: K8N Master2-FAR USB problem in Linux

    This topic has been moved to Server/workstation.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=96587.0

    Got it to work.
    In order for the keyboard and mouse to work, I had to set the BIOS to USB 1.1 support.
    By default, it was set to USB 1.1/2.0.
    After I changed the BIOS, I was able to run and configure Linux Fedora Core 5.
    Also, Windows Vista Beta 1 worked.  Before, not only the keyboard and mouse wouldn't work but also the installation would crash.
    NVIDIA says that the NFORCE USB is natively compatible with default Linux USB drivers.
    Apparently, that is not the case.
