¿Could work together a MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum and a Radeon HD 4890-HD489XZSFC?

Hello. I know that nVidia and Ati chips are not the best friends. However, I have a very good price and opportunity to buy the XFX RadeonHD 4890 1 GB DDR5 HD489XZSFC. Should I try? Actually I`m running a MSI 9600GT-OC which is not bad at all. This 4890 seems to be really great, I`ve been reading a lot of customer reviews and all of them were delighted.
K9N2 use the DDR2 memory and this GPU has the DDR5.
What do you think about?
Regards,
Florin

We are not going to recommend other manufacturers competing products.  ATI video cards and NVIDIA MOBOS should have no problem working together. So, an MSI Radeon 4890 should not have any issue with a K8N2 SLI Platinum.

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum problem (Mobo dead again?)

    Ok, its been more than 4 months since my computer have been "dead".  I went through two RMA for my mobo MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum and I went through RMA for my AMD cpu chip twice.  Just today I decided to put the parts together when I got my new chip.  Upon putting the parts together and turning the machine on, I get nothing.  No post beep, nothing on the screen of the monitor.  My PSU fan is spinning, I still get the red light indicator on my motherboard as I always have been in the past. 
    I put the parts with 1 stick of RAM next to the CPU. 
    My components for the following:
    MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
    AMD 64 X2 5600+
    1 stick of 2 GB Corsair Memory
    650 Watts Corsair PSU
    Does anyone know what else to do?  It seems like my options are getting dried up and I feel like I want to ask for a refund since my motherboard is still under warranty, if that's possible.

    Wait slow down here.  You're saying that I supposed to hear a beeping sound when I power on?  If so, I heard none.  I am hard of hearing myself by the way.

    Are there more things connected to the same el. jack? - Have a feeling I asked you that before!?
    This is not 100% true, but if nothing works there is a power failure. If some things work and there is no beeping you can guess towards the processor. With beeping memory climbs up the ladder as the prime suspect.

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum problems again

    Like many of you all who suggested me to RMA my board couple weeks ago.  Well, looks like I finally got the board back and I decided to give it a go.  Put in my computer parts (CPU, Ram, using on-board vga/dvi) and gave it a go.  I turned on and then I see the same red light that occurred to me in the previous problem that I had before sending it in.  I am thinking MSI didn't thoroughly test the board enough?  I tried sticking the memory stick in different slots to see if that would help, still no go.  I switched/changed cpu   I contacted MSI and they said to reseat the CPU and check PSU. I told them that my PSU is brand new (Corsair 650TX) and confirmed them that it is indeed working.  I took it out of the case to test by putting a cardboard underneath the motherboard using only 1 stick of ram in DIMM1 slot.  Reseat/re-inserted the CPU and heatsink fan in.  Connect the DVI cable to the on-board dvi connection.  Then I took a flat screw driver and turned it on, I saw the CPU fan spin and the PSU fan spinning but the same red light showed up.  I am still stuck and wonder what other options I have left.
    MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
    AMD64 X2 5400
    2x2GB Corsair (I am only using 1 stick to test at the moment)
    Using onboard video instead of my 8800GT
    Corsair 650TX watts (tested and it is brand new)
    I feel like I don't know what else to do except I could take it to a computer technician to have a second look at it.  If anyone have suggestion, I'd be happy to try.

    I have done all of the following you listed except for testing the CPU in another machine.  I will bring the two cpu to a local shop and have them tested.  I will report back.

    Do you have power cable for the CPU connected?
    Does the CPU works in another machine?
    Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed?
    Have you tested with mainboard out of PC case too? {With one memory stick in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket}
    Does the CPU is properly installed?
    Checked CPU for bent pins too?

  • Need some advise - MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum

    Hello. I have some strange behavior of the system since the last week. Processor´s fan speeds up and down. Usualy is 3400-3600rpm; now speeds up to 5400-5600rpm and stay accelerate for a good while. I thought it could be some dust; yesterday I made a general cleaning of the hardware and also replaced the Thermaltake fan with another one which I have for replacement. The heatsink is firm, deos not have movements. The thermal grase is OCZ Freeze etc, something good,  seems to be hardened because heatsink stay firm. This was assembled some 16 month ago.
    I started again the PC, slow down the processor´s speed from OC 3.2Ghz to the basic 2.8 Ghz and the problem still go on. I thought this could be come system drivers problem, some sensor related. Then, I download the sys driver 15.49_nforce_winvista_win7_64bit_intern ational_whql from nVidia site and install it. Nothing, the problem is the same.
    also: http://i44.tinypic.com/120pix4.jpg
    The readings of Temperatures the TMPIN0 and TMPIN1, north and south bridge are ok. The TMPIN2 127°C is a dead sensor, it allways was like that from the beginning. Don´t pay attention to it.
    I´m really worried that thomething bad could happen and I have not a replacement for this mobo now.
    Could be some bad or crazy sensor which send some erroneous signal and that´s could be the origin of this situation?
    Does it exist the possibility the mobo get fried?
    I hope you´ll have the best advise for me.
    My best regards,

    I'm confused.  You say to ignore the 127° reading, but then state you are concerned and talk about a false reading.  What reading and what exactly are you concerned with, the CPU temps?  If your system were getting that hot(127°C), you'd shut down or blow something.  I'm sure it's a false reading. 
    If you wish to remove the heatsink,  get something like Artic Silver 5 so you have a different paste to use.   Then, boot to the bios and leave it there for 15 minutes and shut down(you can simply hit the power off button this way).  Immediately, after shutdown, removing the power cord and pushing the power on button several times to drain the capacitors, try and remove the Heatsink carefully with some slight wiggle back and forth motion.  Hopefully, the heating of the TIM will make it pliable enough for easier removal.  DO NOT USE FORCE.

  • MSI K9n2 SLI Platinum with RAID-1

    I configured the RAID Stuff with the (RAID) BIOS without any problems (RAID-1). Windows works finde but after some restarts something is destroying the RIAD bundle.
    Windows recognize the second drive as a stand alone and keeps the first in the "MIRROR" drive. (so i see every partition twice). In the case I repair the bundle, it works for two restart and the same happens again.
    some ideas?
    thanks

    well .. it just seemed to be the solution.
    now, in the case I restart the system.. it works fine for a couple of minutes or maybe hours..
    but then, the system's going to freeze.. windows stay but in the case i wan't to read or write from or to harddisk .. the mean software crash
    i'm tryin' to plug of the second drive and hope it will work...
    are there any known problems?
    i should try another mainboard ... thats going to be boring

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum problem

    I just got my Corsair 650TX PSU from the mail today. Installed it and connected everything.  When I turned the power on, nothing showed up.  I did see red lights, and I thought "oh no...".  So I went to check the manual and said if it red, then my old PSU must've taken out my CPU out at the same time.  I did see my graphic card spinning, *relief*  So I just wanted to double check with you guys if that's my CPU is totally gone/dead for good?  I checked all connectors and made sure there was no problem.  Everything was connected and well plugged.
    My specs under sig as usual:
    MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum

    I agree, probably other parts went up in smoke as well.
    The first thing comes to mind it the board is damaged too, as it's the first part being connected to the PSU.
    Quote from: a4m4d64 on 15-January-09, 22:25:39
    Most likely,  the board shorted and fried the PS,   Board RMA ????
    Oh no...I hope the board isn't dead.  I am going to be getting a new CPU and I will find out if it works or not.  *Keeping my fingers cross.*
    Another thing, I doubt the board is dead, because when I turned it back on, all the light is still lit upon powering up.  So its obviously still working.  But no post screen, and like I said before, upon looking at the LED lights according to page 2-26 on my manual, I got the first box.  It states "System PowerOn- The D-LED will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly".  So I know first thing come to mind is that I am certain the processor is installed properly when my original PSU died.  I never took it out.  Which left me the final choice, the CPU is officially dead/fried or however you want to call it. 

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum - Help

    Hi All
    I'm new here and as I'm not sure where to look for help I thought posting a question might be best:-
    I have 3 hot swap drive caddies only one of which is live.  The internal fan became noisy so I simply swapped the connections (SATA, Power, HDD LED) for one of the unused caddies.
    I now cannot boot although I clearly have power and the 4/8 boot LED's immediately show 2 green 2 red.  According to my book it says that means ‘Initialising Hard Drive Controller' – that’s as far as it get's.  I'm not getting anything on screen.
    I did briefly reconnect the old Caddy but that made no difference.  I have looked to see if I've accidentally disconnected something but thus far nothing appears to be wrong.
    Whilst I built my machine there are some things I can't always work out so if anyone has any ideas it would be appreciated.
    System Info:-
    Gigabyte Aurora Case
    MSI  K9N2 SLI Platinum
    AMD 9850 Quadcore 64bit Black Series
    2 x Nvidia GT9800 Graphics (Ones out for now)
    8 Gb RAM
    OS Windows 7 64 Ultimate (Demountable Drive 250Gb Partitioned)
    Plus 1 x 759Gb & 1 x 1Tb internal HDD partitioned.
    Barbara

    I have solved the problem myself!!
    For anybody that it may help:-
    I had an old IDE CDR which I disconnected ages ago BUT the IDE cable was still connected to the mainboard without issue.  The LED error code (2 Green 2 Red) states - ' Initialising Hard Drive Controller - This will initialise IDE Drive and controller'.
    For reasons that make no sense I removed the IDE Cable....and the machine booted without issue.  This cable as I said was not in use and had caused no issues before.
    By the way 'BAS' - If you read my post properly you may notice clues... like 'I clearly have power and the 4/8 boot LED's immediately show 2 green 2 red'...unless of course you use Steam or Gas  :(

  • MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum - No Mem Voltage Settings?

    I recently bought an MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum; along with a Phenom II 940 Black Edition and a set of OCZ Reaper 4gb PC8500/1066 DDR2.
    I had, for awhile read that this motherboard was a great board and an excellent buy. 
    However, I can't seem to find a way to adjust the DRAM Voltage settings.  I can change and adjust the memory timings, but not the voltage settings.
    CPUz shows that my RAM is running at 1.8volts but it requires 2.1v!  It also shows that all the mem timings are different from what they're set at in the BIOS.
    Is there a way to unlock the Mem Voltage settings on this Motherboard?
    If not, I may have to RMA it and get something else.

    Don't have every bit of that info in front of my at the moment, but I can say, and show, where links are available...

Creative also came out with some new Drivers for that X-Fi sometime in 2008.  I do not remember the Driver version or the exact date they were released, but I have tried them.
    Also, I have tried rolling back the Geforce drivers back through several prior versions and ran tests with those as well, always with the same result.
    I'll be removing one of the 8800GT's later on tonight when I get the chance and see what happens there.
    One thing I noticed last night, is that the Mobo's Hybrid SLI is enabled with the OnBoard Video Port.  I can not disable the Onboard, unless the Hybrid is disabled first.  The cursor just skips over the listing for OnBoard when the Hybrid is enabled which is understandable.
    However, when Hybrid is disabled and the settings saved, and system rebooted... its gets up to the WinXP Splash Screen then flashes a blue screen and automatically reboots and does this in a loop; until Hybrid is re-enabled.
    At present, DRAM is manual configured in BIOS for 5.5.5.18 timings, and 2.20 voltage; as per manufacturer specs.  CPU, is manually set at v1.350; which became available after re-flashing BIOS last night, and re-clearing CMOS.

    have you tried uping the voltage, the black dragon works perfect at 1066 from 2.2v to 2.4v, however the gskill requires 2.3v to work perfect at 1066 (so my setup its 2x1gb geil and 2x1gb gskill (total 4gb) voltage set to 2.3v) if i dont set 2.3v i get completely random restarts (could be after afew hours or afew days), all passed with prime and occt.
    just in case, after bios reset ddr is set to 800 as default ,go into bios and set divider to 1066, then set timings to 5-5-5-15 (dont use auto/sli ready) bios sets strange timings by default at 1066 then set voltage and save.
    I've tried everything and even chatted with MSI Techs over it all, been back and forth between MSI and OCZ for about a month now.. bottom line, MSI told me was that they don't certify or support OCZ ddr1066 on the K9N2 SLI Plat; which OCZ Techs told me, basically. B.S!  ...claiming they tested the Board themselves when it came out.   However OCZ doesn't even have the Board listed on their RAM Configurator on their website; which they claim is MSI's fault... and so on, and so on...
    Anyway, OCZ is offering to swap my Reaper Set for a different Model set which they claim is more reliable on AMD processors.  Probably their Gold or SLI model set I'd guess; they don't even advertise on their website any difference in their sticks being "Intel Certified" or "AMD Certified" ... and so on.
    Worse case scenario; if in the end whatever they give me still doesn't work, I'll EBAY it and try a set of those geIL Black Dragons.

    Recently installed a 1090T on N9N2 Diamond and did testing on K9N2 SLI Platinum.  All good after I flashed to 2.8 (the correct BIOS for that CPU).  I Had the same problem with CPU sticking to heatsink, It was not caused by heat, I suspect the socket is weak.  I just carefully pried it off.
    Did I miss something?  How did everyone jump on the CPU cooler without knowing what sort of case it's installed in/# of fans/what size fans, etc...?
    did you have the same problem with different bios?

  • Nemesis Elite case front Audio & MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum

    Issue/dilemma I'm having:
    I recently purchased a  K9N2 SLI Platinum motherboard and Nemesis Elite case. Here is my dilemma: the naming conventions used for the audio connectors from case and motherboard pins are different.
    ie. case connectors are labeled; mic in, mic pwr, R-Ret, L-Ret, R-out, L-out and Ground. The motherboard pins Front Panel Audio Connector: JAUD1
    This connector allows you to connect the front panel audio and is compliant with
    Intel® Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide.
    HD Audio Pin Definition
    PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
    1 MIC_L Microphone - Left channel
    2 GND Ground
    3 MIC_R Microphone - Right channel
    4 NC
    5 LINE out_R Analog Port - Right channel
    6 MIC_JD Jack detection return from front panel microphone JACK1
    7 Front_JD Jack detection sense line from the High Definition Audio CODEC
    jack detection resistor network
    8 NC No control
    9 LINE out_L Analog Port - Left channel

    This motherboard is based off of Intel HD audio. The case doesn't support HD audio! Can anyone give me a mapping of the case to the pin head that will work?
    Thanks

     Try this:
     If you want connect an AC’97 front panel audio system to HD onboard headers, try these steps:
    Connect Mic_IN (MIC) to MIC2_L.
    Connect Audio_R (RIN) to OUT2_R
    Connect Audio_L (LIN) to OUT2_L.
    MIC_RET and OUT_RET are for HD audio only; you don't need to connect them for AC'97 audio.

  • ACC on MSI K9N2 SLI platinum...

    lol ok this question is slightly vague i know and i am sorry, but i was wondering if the K9n2 sli platinum has any settings in the bios that pertain the AMD's Advanced Clock Calibration... i was reading around online and Nvidia said that some 750a and 780a boards will support this feature...  lol and really the only reason why i would like to have this feature is so i could turn my phenom II 550 i am getting on wednesday into a full blow quad core... :P i know this could potentially harm my cpu but i was just wondering if it could be done... thank you

    I would try the overclock forum. http://techreport.com/articles.x/15256/11

  • MSI P7N SLI Platinum and OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition

    Hello,
    I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum nForce 750i SLI motherboard and I would like to inquire if it is fully compatible with OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition memory? Firstly, I do not seem to get the correct timings with the default settings, speed is not very good, after 5 hours of running Memtest86+ there was 30 errors. I have never had the memory crash and games seem to run fine, but the memory feels much slower than it should be. Is the memory supposed to work fine with this motherboard and I'm just imagining everything? I don't know if I'm also supposed to be worried by the errors Memtest86+ returned?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    If memtest returned errors, yes 
    Well, there does not have to be a problem with the memory just because it returned errors. There could be many other explanations why there are errors.

    Jacobl, please post full system specs.  Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of the details you should provide.
    How many modules of what capacity do you have?  What are your current RAM-related BIOS settings?
    If you have more than one stick of RAM, please test each stick seperately with memtest86+ and see if the errors are caused by one of the sticks only.  Otherwise there is no way to tell if there is a compatibility problem or just a faulty memory stick.
    Please post a link to the OCZ product site and also a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" tab.
    I have this memory: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_6400_sli_ready_edition_4gb_dual_channel.
    This is the rest of the components as instructed by the forum post you linked to:
    Intel E8200
    MSI P7N SLI Platinum
    OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 SLI-Ready Edition 4GB Dual Channel
    Gigabyte Geforce 8800GT 512MB PCI
    500GB Western Digital SATA
    SATA DVD burner
    Windows XP SP3
    Antec 500W PSU
    I usually troubleshoot components step by step - eliminating all possible reasons until I have found the solution. My first step was to post here to find out if there are any known compatibility issues with the motherboard and memory. I adjusted the memory timings with a slight overclock because the motherboard did not load the default timings by default. I will start by adjusting the BIOS settings, check if the memory is inserted into the right DIMM slots and then test the memory sticks one by one. But to answer my own question: I think the motherboard and memory should have no compatibility issues and it must be something else.

    I have the OCZ 6400 Fatal1ty modules 2x2 GB that is very similar of the ones you ask.And they are running perfectly but i must set the epp latency and voltaje values in BIOS! The simple modules of ocz are in the memory compatibilty list i thought that the SLI and Falal1ty modules are just the same with a little boost.
    I had to set the right timings also. As far as I know, the SLI and Fatal1ty modules are probably the same, just with a little boost. I think it would be very strange if a module with the name "SLI-Ready Edition" and a Nforce 750i motherboard would not be compatible together.
    Anyway, any other advice on what steps I should take? I assume by now that the motherboard and memory should work together without problem. Sorry if I started out bad by not following the posting guidelines on the forum.
