Do k8t neo fis2r have agp/pci lock?

Hi
I just read a test of my motherboard (MSI k8t neo fis2r).
I was written that the motherboard had a agp/pci lock.
Does it so? I dont want to damage my 9800xt with to high agp bus so i need to know! please

Simple fix... Don't overclock the system clock or what people mistakenly reffer to as the Front Side Bus (FSB)... The issue is not just with the motherboard but rather with the VIA K8T-800 chipset. The Hyperthreading, PCIO, and AGP are all tied to the system clock so when you change that clock everything is affected. Some things can handle it and some things can't. If you leave the system clock alone then there are no worries.

Does MSI K8N NEO 4 have (agp)/PCI lock?

hi. yeah, Does MSI K8N NEO 4 have (agp)/PCI lock? I saw only the PCI-E lock (100MHz)

the neo4 does not have AGP.
No, I know it. "( )"

Paradis,
The PCI, IDE and SATA are locked.
Take Care,

Problems with OC in MSI K8T Neo FIS2R!!!

Hi!
I have faced problems when making OC in my Athlon 64 3400+. I do not obtain to increase the FSB for 213Mhz more than without that they occur stopped or reset. I am using 1Gb (2x512) of Ram (Corsair CMX 3200LL PRO).
In the internet many stories exist that chip VIA K8T800 is not good for OC, because the AGP/PCI cannot be stopped with fixed values.
Exists some form to obtain with stability in this Mobo one overclock descent, with FSB of at least 220Mhz? The lack of stability in overclock limits the processor very, what it finishes in forcing to who knows to abandon the K8T Neo, passing to a Mobo that uses Nforce3 250, for example.
If somebody will be able to help with tips to try one overclock for FSB in 220mhz with stability would be very grateful, friends!

Take your sata drive off and you can overclock higher. There is no PCI/AGP lock so the speeds are affecting your sata drive. 210 mhz. system clock is about the limit before the sata drives start to act up.
The problem is with that particular VIA chipset. No way around it has been found to work in a practical manner.

K8T NEO-FIS2R goes into suspend. Lose display.

First, here is my setup.
[list=a]
MB: K8T NEO-FIS2R
CPU: AMD 64 3200+ 1MB L2 Cache
CPU Fan: Thermaltake Venus 12
RAM: TWINX1024-3200LLPT (2x512Mb DDR400 - Corsair XMS Extreme - Cas Latency: 2-3-2-6 T1)
HD: 6Y120M0 - SATA Maxtor 120GB (plugged on SER1 not the one from Promise)
DVD-RW & Floppy
video card: ASUS nVIDIA GeForce FX5700 - 8X AGP - 256MB DDR - Core Speed 425MHz
Power Supply: Turbolink 350W - +3.3V/24A - +5V/35A - +12V/12A[/list=a]
And of course I have 5 case fans w/ led, the UV light, etc... etc...
Now here is my problem:
When I power up for the first time, my display is kind of crappy (some small lines etc...). I managed to get to the bios etc... after a while the system goes into suspend (Power LED blinking). Can't turn it back on unless I turn off/on the PSU.
When I switch my video card to a ATI Rage 128Mb (my old computer). The picture is good but the system still goes into suspend mode (Power LED blinking).
Also the other weird thing with my 256MB video card, when the system goes into suspend after that I bring it backup, my display is gone, when I switch to my 128MB video card and back to the 256 I get the display back.
I suspect that my PSU is too weak but instead of spending more money on this system I wanted to double check with you guys.
Also, before anybody asks me. Yes, I plugged in the 4-pin 12V connector into the MB.
TZ
EDITED: There was a typo on the +12V of the PSU The correct value is 12A as listed on the PSU. Sorry about that.

Jocko>
new PSU -> Enermax 550W (EG651P-VE(FMA), beautifull by the way, feel the power )
Yes 4 pin 12V for connector plugged in
Yes 3 pin power fan connected in pwr_fan connector
Yes still shutdown w/ green light laughing at me.......
No Thermal paste, using a thermal pad, new. Volcano heatsink/fan, running, have a dial on PCI mount place turned to max. According to bios fan running at 5300 rpm. According to bios, CPU temp is 96°F. Should I switch to thermal paste? (I don't really want to butter the CPU if I need to return it... who knows... will check tomorrow anyway...)
video card1: ASUS nVIDIA GeForce FX5700 - 8X AGP - 256MB DDR - Core Speed 425MHz
video card2: ATI Rage 128Mb (don't know model # or anything, I'm not at the office right now....)
video card1: no display when hard drive/DVD/floppy plugged in
video card2: display ok
both video cards have fans and they are both spinnin'
=====================================================

[list=1]
ground myself and touch the case everytime.
yes, and removes easily and goes back in easily.
nope everything is cool, nothing got bent pushed or anything
all new came with the heatsink, but might switch to thermal paste now.... ndicator wire pluggin in cpufan1, fan speed crontroled by dial which is set at the max now.
the stix i have right now are corsair twinx. but I also tried with 1 stick kingston value pc2700(?)(DDR333)
didn't do only power switch & power led only, will do tomorrow and let you know.
yes
yes
pin 1 faces where it should (used floppy drive to flash bios already)
no, 1 DVD set as CS at the end of cable, 1 SATA Maxtor 120GB on SATA1 (the one that's not from promise)
yes
yes
no right now I took the MB out to exclude shorts
yes, tried also w/o the d-bracket[/list=1]
CPU is immaculate. will put thermal paste instead of the pad tomorrow (now, i'm starting to think that the thermal pad is not thick enough to contact the CPU and the heatsink, but geez, hard to believe... anyway, worth a try)
no loose wires
heatsink secure (actually I love this new system with the locking thing )
I think that the kingston value is used by other users, and the twinx corsair DDR400 is used also if settings changed in bios (which I tried also), but I don't think it would 'cause a shutdown though, specially if the computer does nothing but seat and be on.
Yes different video card, but my ASUS 256Mb doesn't have its own power supply, checked five times, and fan spins when mb powered up
No, right now hard drive and DVD drive are not plugged in until my system stays up (no need to fry them)
d-bracket lights: 4 green lights when booting on floppy (even when getting to looking for booting device)
Didn't try different wall outlet but used this one already to run several computers, should I try another one?
Nope never, before I put my fingers in, I turn off the computer, switch the PSU off, unplug the power cord from the PSU, and make sure to hear the little buzz sound when power unloads.

6600GT not working with K8T neo-FIS2R

I recently returned a K8T NEO-FIS2R MB for repair. The problem was that the PS/2 and USB ports were broken. However the MB has been returned and the PS/2 and USB ports work fine. I posted about this several months ago.
Now the AGP port seems to be broken (not the actual slot). I have tried a 6800 Ultra and a 6600 GT (AGP version) GFX card in this slot. Both cards fail at the driver installation point. I have tried driver versions 66.93, 67.02 and 67.03. I also tried 3 versions of the via drivers 451, 453 and 455. Even tried XP with SP1 and SP2. The PC will sometimes BSOD, reset, won't boot into windows. The drivers sometimes install then other times they won't, etc. The problems only seem to be with the drivers for the GFX cards.
The 6600 GT works as I have tried it in another MB without any problems.
I know the memory works fine as I used memtest86+ for a couple of hours on the default settings without any errors and it works in another PC.
The spec of the PC is:
XP pro
K8T NEO-FIS2R MB
512MB corsair XMS at 2.5-3-7-3
XFX 6600GT
40gig HDD
FDD
Plextor CD writer
DVD Rom
PSU is a Q-tec 550W
I know Q-tec PSUs are not up to much from what I have read elsewhere in this forum, but I have had it running in a similar system with the 6800 Ultra installed without any trouble (even with the above MB before it went faulty). I have also tried a 400W PSU, that came with the case. The Voltages on the 12V line are between 12.00 and 12.03 when using the Q-tec PSU.
Has any body else had these problems with the 6600GT in the mentioned MB.
Also, how can I check the serial number on the MB with the label on the box, as this MB that was returned to me looks to “clean” to be the one I sent away for repair.
Thanks for any help

Hey, I'm glad to see a post on the new Gforce 6600GT AGP card. I just recently put together a brand new system (see my sig for specs). System runs great. The only thing I wanted to do was replace the video card, and after a great deal of anxiety I decided the Geforce 6600GT AGP was the best bang for the buck.
Well I got home, installed the card and never get passed the bios screen. (shows your processor, memory, memory siz), the screen u hit DEL to go into the bios.
The system doens't lock up, NUM LOCK can still be turned on and off, and CAPS can be turned of and on... but thats it. Just sits on that screen. I can't go into the bios either.
what settings do I need to do prior to isntalling this card to get it to work.
Let me know if you all need anymore details to help me out.
oh, I did reset my frequency to 10x200 (which is what I think the 3000+ is supposed to be at).

K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

Hi. I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well. When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz. Under load it would go up to 2100mhz. But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time. (The variable fan speed function still works).
I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled. Still does not work. I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard. Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked. Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working. I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked. The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop. But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working. Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore. So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load. I don't get it??? I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz. But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle. Am I looking in the right place in XP? I have XP pro, SP2
Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year

Black screen when sound card is added...K8T Neo FIS2R

As the subject line says:
I am trying to install a sound card, a trusty Creative Labs Audigy and in ANY pci slot get a black screen upon boot up, no beep!
I deleted the onboard video drivers, went to Bios and disabled the realtek alc97...
In the farthest pci slot from the AGP slot I have a LAN card that works fine, but for some reason the sound card just doesn't want my PC to boot IN any slot...Any ideas? I did a search but found nothing that would help at this point.

AGP/PCI Lock

I just wanted to know if there is a working agp/pci lock for the K9t NEO-fis2r out yet. If not, does anyone know when this might be included in a bios revision, or is it just a pipe dream?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

K8t neo fis2r overclocking

I am hoping i can get some sort of overclock out of this board. I know without the agp/pci lock it will be limited. But I was wondering if anyone out there has any input on what i might be able to expect before I get too crazy with it. I planned on using the Dynamic overclocking but I dont know whether I will get results with that. Any help is appreciated.

Athlon 64 3000+

1GB Mushkin LVL II pci 3500

Didn't do anything special, I just worked up to that point increasing in steps of 5. Wish I could give you a suggestion, but it just worked. stays cool also under a 100% load 24/7 (foldin) I run temps of 38 to 40

So does the AGP/PCI lock work or not??

I have read many contridicting reports as to whether the AGP/PCI lock actually works on the K8N Neo Platinum.
Some say yes, some say no, some say setting it to 67 in the bios enables the locks. Does anybody actually know for sure, and not rely on that Clockgen thingy?? Also, if it must be set to 67 for sure, will this be addressed in a future bios release??
I am currently a bit scared to begin overclocking when I hear about RAID sets dropping out on the account of unlocked buses on a board that is supposed to have locked buses.....

I heard if you changed the AGP bus to 68 it will still lock but you will get much better overclocking results...

8X capability of K8T Neo FIS2R

Hi Everyone,
This is probably an embarrasingly easy question for you guys to answer but my question is, now that I have my newly built machine up and running will the MoBo automatically detect the AGP 8X capability of my card or do I have to fiddle around in the Bios in some way
Card Radeon Sapphire X800 Pro
MoBO K8T Neo FIS2R
Thats it!

Hi,
No sweat mate, it would be more imbarrasing if you would have gotten it wrong
It will detect it automaticly as 8x.
Merry christmas !!!

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - Which slot sound card?.

Hi all,
I have a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R and was wondering which slot to put my sound card in?.
At the mo it's in pci slot 4 i only have 3/4and 5 availible becuase of my arctic cooler on my rad 9800 pro.
The sound card is on IRQ 19 sharing with the IEE1394 host controller, i dont use firewire so could i disable it in the bios?.
Cheers all.

Hi
Should not make any differance, don't worry about the IRQ, let the comp sort it out, it knows whats where, better than humans do.
Any probs, disable the onboard sound. maybe change PCI slot, but there should not be.
cheers

[Athlon64] K8t Neo FIS2R V1

Hi. Trying to set up a K8T Neo FIS2R V1.0 with an AMD Sempron 2800+. When I hit the power button it powers up for 1 second then dies. The green light on the tower flashes and manual says CPU overheat. Checked cpu is seated ok, checked RAM ok. If I unplug the 4 pin power connector the cpu fan then runs ok but nothing else works. Tried different video card, diffrerent RAM, different PSU. I have cleared the bios as stated but problem still exits. Could I have a faulty board? Thanks

You should use at least bios version 2.0, which if i remember correctly is the first one with support for semprons. I recommend 2.1, 2.2 causes some problems with agp aperture size on 256mb.
I don't see any other possibility than getting a "normal" amd 64 processor and then update your bios (of course it would be unnecessary to install the sempron then, because normal 64's generally perform better).

K8T Neo-FIS2R wont copy drivers...

Hi all i ahve been looking through the forums for a long time now. I can find anyone with the exact problem as me. I will list my specs first.

ATI RADEON 9800PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, 256-bit, DVI/TV-Out, 8X AGP
Aspire 520W 12V Black Triple Fan Aluminum Power Supply
Okay heres the problem. I run the windows XP pro sp2 install cd and then i get to the screen were you press S. That works and it gives me a list and i pick the first XP one on the list. Then i press enter and it starts loading the files. At a certain point when it starts the windows setup it says that it cannot copy the following files; VIAMRAID.SYS, VIAMRAID.cat, and VIAMRAID.inf so i use the skip option. The computer runs through the copys the rest of the stuff fine then restarts like it should. When it gets to the windows loading screen it gives me a blue screen error about the HDD or something. Now i have no clue whats wrong with it there is no reason that it should not work.

Does your cable have the crossover wires to end connector, use the end of cable connector, maybe try another floppy cable, if it does use read or boot from a win98 startup disk, then it is the floppy drive or cable. Could of course be bad floppies, but not usual if you are trying several differant ones ( unless they have been beside a magnetic sourde, like telephone). I would try another cable, then another floppy drive. One or other should fix it, as your bios settings appear good.
Is the floppy shown on first page in bios setup - Standard Cmos Features.

MSI sent me the v1.93 bios. I updated my MOBO. Now heres one question since this seagate is new and everything else is. Should i have done a full format on the HDD instead of a quick before i tried installing it. My friend is saying thats what i should have been doing instead of the quick format for partitioning.
I update ya on whats going on. Well the new bios didnt change anything. I also did full format on the HDD dudring the windows setup. It took forever to finish the format. Even after the full format it still didnt work.. I tested jockos cable theory and it did not work. And my floppy drive is show as floppy A
