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.

Last week my soundcard didn't sound anything after I set my FSB from default 100 to 113.
And then my PC boots so slow.
I play Wining Eleven 7 adn it goes slow, not as usuall.
Does somebody can give me some solution.
Sorry for my English.

I afraid that my VGA card was damaged cause i overclocked my CPU too high.
Are there any indications of damaged VGA Card or other peripheral like harddisk or soundcard?
I so afraid.

HD4670 AGP doesn't boot on MSI K8N Neo-3 (AGR Slot)

Hello,
First of all let me say that this forum has helped me a lot when I was searching for a modified BIOS for my laptop and I've gathered a lot of useful information from here.
Now to my problem - I recently bought a used MSI K8N Neo-3 in the quest to build the "ultimate" 754+AGP slot PC.
The problem is that my HD4670 AGP doesn't work because the AGR slot doesn't support it.
Can someone please make a modified bios that supports HIS HD4670 1GB DDR3 AGP ?

That is not possible. An AGR slot is NO AGP slot. It is basically a modified PCIe slot with limited backwards compatibility with AGP. It is only used on few MSI boards and will only work with few compatible cards as it is no AGP slot as I already said. It's a technical limitation and no bios compatibility issue.
MSI didn't list a warning and compatibility list for fun:
Quote from: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K8N-Neo3.html#/?div=Detail
The AGR slot is a special design that only supports compatible AGP VGA cards. For more detailed information on compatible AGP VGA cards, please refer here
As you can see your card is not listed but only very few way older cards are.
The HD4670 on the other hand is a PCI-E gpu modified with a bridge chip to support AGP. So you have a double modification that simply can't work. Use a native PCI-E vga and be glad. As your board only supports PCI-E Gen1 prefer a Nvidia vga if going for a current card to prevent compatibility issues with AMD Gen2/3 cards.

changed hdd, change gfx-card. change psu, removed all no-need pci-cards..
but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
please help me if you can..

Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
giving it 0.5v more than default .
Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
gfx card .
Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
USBOC pin is connected)

MSI K8N Neo Platinum Nforce3 250GB - PSU?

My sister in law have this board, MSI K8N Neo Platinum nforce3 250gb chipset, recently the power supply sounds noisy and a high frequency sound from the Antec Truepower 380W SP. Had maked an RMA to Antec and they had agreed to replace the 380W psu with SmartPower2.0 450W. But they asked me one question, that im not sure about:
"Make sure that your motherboard does not need the -5V. If you want more information on the power supply you can look at this link: http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=26450 "
So, do Antecs SmartPower 2.0 450W suits this board and what really is -5V for? As I read the manual, it said ATX 20 pin power connector: JWR1 and at pin 18: -5V
So does it mean this board need a psu that gives -5V on ATX 20 pin power connector and thos board can't use with Antecs SP 2.0 450W?

Quote from: syar2003 on 22-February-06, 05:10:37
Hi!
The K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) doesn't use -5v to anything.
So the -5v from the old atx spesification is not needed in your case.
WoW, thanks for fast reply!
So, it won't be any problem to use Antecs SmartPower 2.0 450W with this board then? Want to make sure about it, before accept Antecs offer for replacement and had spent over 4 days to find the problem with his computer. Really don't want to do it again.
This is his riggs:
Antec Sonata
AMD 64 3000+ S754
Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR 512MB
Maxtor Diamondmax 9 250GB SATA
Maxtor Diamondmax 9 IDE 160GB

and

so

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...

Using the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu + Zalman ZM80D-HP VGA heatsink on MSI-K8N NEO-Platinum

Hi,
Im buying a Athlon 64 system very soon (today or tommorow) and have the following question regarding the MSI-K8N NEO-Platinum. I know the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu fits on the mobo but it gets very close to the videocard. How close does it get? Can I still use the Zalman ZM80D-HP VGA heatsink? If anyone knows this please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Hi SirMurray,
I have the CNPS7000A-AlCu and the ZM80C-HP and the 7000A-AlCu is only about 2cm (maybe less) away from my graphics card. There is no way to have both the 7000A-AlCu and the ZM80C-HP (same goes for ZM80D-HP as Im 99% sure it is the exact same size as the ZM80C-HP) installed together without modifying the ZM80.
I was quite dissapointed about this cause I really wanted to use both so I tried to move the back heatsink of the ZM80C-HP but no matter what I did it just woulnd't fit with the 7000A-AlCu... BUT!...
What I did was to modify the ZM80 so that instead of the heatpipe going from the front to the back of the card as usual, it was turned around, so that the heatpipe now passes in front of the front-side heatsink. I then mounted the other heatsink (usually at the back of the card) so now both heatsinks are situated on one side of the card. Once I locked them in place with the little brackets they give you to join the two heatsinks it was done!
p.s. just in case you are wondering, the heatsinks are quite light so there is no real danger in having both placed on one side of the card. they don't pull the card to one side or stress the gpu mounting gear, etc. any more than having them installed normally. also, they are far enough apart when both on one side of the card for good airflow between them.
This all works for me and I haven't had any problems with it at all. It does mean that the whole graphics card + heatsink covers a LOT of PCI slots (4 I think). This is okay for me as I only have one PCI card (audigy 2) installed. Also, if you need to fit the optional fan for the ZM80 than you might run into trouble as the spacing between the heatsinks is smaller when using this setup than when they are installed as per zalmans instructions (front + back).
Hope this helps!

I can't do anything since it wont boot up & i tried diffrent dimm slots but it didn't work :(
Earlier i've set the settings to t1 & the volt to 2.56 from before. Does this has something to do with it ? How can I reset the bios if I can't even get in dos :s
What should I do ?

Reset the cmos using the Jumper, is you have a manual it will show you where this is located. It will set the Bios back to Default,then you have to set it up the way you want it again. To get the RAM working set it to DDR333=166, that should sort out the No Post.
Your going to be out of luck here as the 'support' is basicaly non-existent, or just replies from people trying to get their post count up higher, I'm afraid to say.
Good luck.

Ms-7030 msi k8n neo fsr wont start

i made my system a follows.
amd 2800+ 64
msi k8n neo fsr
kingston 400mhz ddr value ram
6600gt inno3d agp
wd800 80gb hardrive
300 watts psu
brought the system home everything was working fine except for continous stuttering on hl2. also wid it came a smart cobra lite 56k modem from zoltrix, which was installed while makign the system, the modem had been deteced but when i tried to connect to the net, the status of the modem was found to be not connected, i removed the modem, restarted by switching the pci slots and everything but to no avail, put in an older zoltrix modem from my old pc, to no avail the modem just wudnt get recognized. the same modem though worked in my older p3 system. i took the systm to the place where they assembled it.as the system booted the modem got deteced, got winxpsp2 installed wid a fresh install. everything worked fine for a day untilt eh modem once again went back into death mode.took it back to the hardware shop i remember they were using an older keyboard on it too, well as they pressd the power button, the cpu fan and the gfx card fan moved a second and then stopped no booting
they replaced mobo then and there. even the same problem occured wid the new mobo, i left the system there to be tested but the thing i dont understand is they had assembled an tested the system by using the old keyboard and even then there was no problem. this time the system was working but as it reached the assemblers the cpu and gfxs card fan moved a sec as if power was fed for a second and dided changed psu's on one try on dry boot that is widout hd connected. the fans continously worked we removed power put into chasis and tried again to start but to no avail.
cud it really be the keyboard problem if that is solved then the problem left to deal wid is the modem wud the pci slots act the same way even on the newer board or chaning modems wud do any good, changed rams also that wudnt help booting either.
in both of the new mobos i didnt get the msi sticker that adds to my frustration.
posted this on another forum too, tha guy was havng problem using an older keyboard.

its really nice of u guys to reply so quickly its really appreciated. the thing is if the psu wasnt upto the job it wud have given away 3 days ago. but it didnt other psu tried also same problem. after a couple of hours ill be off to the hardware shop to see wat came out. the ram was reseated properly on all 3 slots.
plus the 300watts psu may not even be 300 cuz its locally made and stupid quality maybe lower to around 250, but the system worked fine all along, checked rail supplies on the mobo mopnitor and they seemed fine.will keep u guys updated.

SATA port multiplier on MSI K8N Neo Platinum - NForce3 250Gb?

Hi,
I have a MSI K8N Neo Platinum, which uses a NForce3 250Gb chipset. I have read that port multipliers can use either SATA or SATA II hosts and drives, but I don't know if the technology is 100%, transparently compatible.
Is the aforementioned chipset/motherboard compatible with port multiplier technology?
Does it support FIS, which gives the greatest perfomance?
Does it need a BIOS or driver update?
Thanks for the attention

Unable to install windows XP på MSI K8N NEO

Hi!
I have problems installing windows XP (SP1) with MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition. After I bootet my computer (I build it myself) I noticed I had extrem cpu temperatures (65-70 degrees celcius). A quick search on the net indicated that a bios-upgrade might solve the problem, as my current bios probably showed too high temperatures.
As I had already installed windows XP i downloaded the bios and upgraded using the msi-windows-bios program. And, after the reboot my cpu temerature was 20 degrees lower (45 degrees celcius), which is more normal. But during the bootup of windows I got a blue-screen (or, actully a blue blink, just for a nano-second), and then my computer rebooted.
As the system were fairly new and didn't contain any importaint data, I decided to try to make a fresh install of winXP. But now I get a blue-screen during the installation, when the progress-bar says "installing devices", the blue screen appears when it is about 75%.
The installation of XP went fine before the bios upgrade, and I used XP for several hours without any problems at all - except the high cpu temperatur. Now my cpu temeperatur is acceptable, but XP wont install/boot.
I have tried to disable all the integraded devices (such as firewire, network, sound card etc) in the bios menu, but the XP install still provides a bluescreen during the installation of devices.
My system:
A64 3000+
1024Mb RAM (corsair value, I believe)
Samsung SATA 160Gb HD
Matrox Millenium G400 (I know it is old)
NEC 2510 DVD Burner
As I said, this is propably caused by the new bios, as it did work with the old one. I have also tried "Load failsafe defaults". Do you guys have any ideas of how to fix this? Should I (can I) downgrade my bios (I do not have a floppy drive in the computer).

Hi wirrum,
I see you are Swedish (the på was a give away).
I recently aquired a MSI K8N Neo2 from Komplett - where did you get yours from? maybe that have a bad batch because I am seeing the same problems as you.
I have two different problems , the same stability problems you are seeing and problems with the keyboard (ps2) not always starting up. I'm currently at Bios V1 and after seeing your problems I might just wait with V1.1 unless everything else fails.
Im considering an RMA to komplett soon and asking them for a motherboard that works (maybe from another manufacterer).
I have a decent PSU (Antec Truepower 480) and DDR400 from Kingston thats on their reccommended list, no overclocking, stable settings, I built the thing with ESD protection and carefully. Not overly impressed right now.
Some suggestions - turn off AGP Fastwrite, turn on SATA DMA access if you are using SATA. Turn off any Overclocking, move your memory around , try just one stick in DIMM 1 see if that helps.
I finally managed to get through an XP install but it took 6 hours to install. And it will occasionally stutter then shutdown entirely.
Quality..
