Does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile chip out of the box

just like the titles says
does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile clawhammer out of the box.?
if not what bios would i need,. or can anyone confirm what bios is being shipped on these motheboards now.

Jim,
From what I've read, there are updates to the memory controller and the addition of SSE3 support to Venice. It's also reported to have some performance improvement over Winchester and Newcastle. It will use a default 1.4v VCore. Hopefully, It's power comsumption is on the same order as the 90nm Winchester's or less.
If Monarch is shipping the combo with available Bios, you can bet they work. I'm thinking of giving them a call on mine to transfer the 2yr warranty to my youngest daughter (it's a graduation gift) and to discuss the Bios 3.3 vs. 3.3B3 issues. They shipped mine with B3, and I think there may be a reason. The B3 works great with a simple WPCRSET patch of the CAS to RAS Delay. That's why you see those memory settings working on mine.
On the "boxed" vs. OEM, I think buying the combo with warranty and a better heatsink is a much better choice. Use the Venus 7+ in my specs. It's low profile, all copper, and one of the highest rated. Monarch has it in their configurator. It's as quiet as AMD's. Monarch also gives you a 30 day free return with a Fedex prepaid shipping label in the package.

K8N Neo FSR, Please Help a Newbie

Hey all,
I'm new to these forums and was wondering if I could get some help or advice. I currently own an athlon 64 3200+ newcastle with a K8N Neo FSR motherboard. I have heard that my mobo is basically a platinum minus the luxury of firewire ports, could I be correct about that? If so, I went to msi.com.tw website to update my drivers and could not help but notice that K8N Neo Platinum has two more updates that whats offered for my FSR, those being CoreCenter 1.7.0.0 and DigiCell 1.03.00.00. I find corecenter to be useful and am wondering will these two updated versions of the apps work with my FSR, and why would MSI not post the updates in the FSR section.
Also, my board came stock with bios 1.2 and I loaded up windows sp2 and all the drivers and such and everything seems to be working fine to my knowledge, cool n quiet on with cpu around 994 to 1004 mhz, temp readings from bios and sandra all report 36-43 degrees C. Does that sound right to anyone, because I'm not a fan of bios flashing, would flashing to the newest official 1.4 be any benefit to me?
One last thing, I encountered a problem with a creative usb mouse and do not know the source of the problem or how to solve it, it is the optical mouse lite with a blue scroll wheel and operates fine, but after I shutdown my computer the mouse light is still on, is that normal or is there anything I can do about it besides shutting down my power supply everytime I turn off my computer.
Sorry for the loads of questions, if anyone actually reads this please provide me some input/insight. Thanks in advance.
System specs:
A64 3200+ Newcastle Year 04 Week 26

If you look at the prduct page for the K8N Neo FSR, and choose the BIOS link it brings you to page:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=571&kind=1
Which shows the BIOS' available for the K8N Neo FSR. Notice that 1.3 and 1.4 are available and that the K8N Neo FSR is considered to be a MS7030 which is the same model number of the K8n Neo Platinum. From this I surmise that you can use the same BIOS and drivers and all that the Platinum uses and everything should work fine.

K8N Neo-FSR - SATA?

hello, in case I missed the information I apologize . I got the K8N Neo-FSR and I want to ask if there is four Sata support on the board. I have noticed that on the board and also on your homepage-pictures there is only support for two Sata (Sata 3, Sata 4), but in the manual there is support for up to four Sata.
Is it four or two Sata support on the board?
Thank´s

Quote
Can I run single sata drive on them without pata drive
- Yep just plug it into either socket.
Quote
use the rest of sata drive (140gb) normally?
- No. if using raid it's preferable to use drives of same model (so that they share operating spec) & size so that no wasted space.
You may find this sticky link useful Raid Guide

K8N Neo-FSR ~= K8N Neo Platinum

May have to replace my motherboard - a K8N Neo Platinum. Have seen the K8N Neo-FSR, from its spec I assume it is the same, apart from only 2 rather than 3 Ram slots?
Thanks
Derek

Hello !
You can see both specifications here:

K8N Neo FSR doesn't post

Hello all,
I have just finished building a new system, based on the Athlon64 and using the K8N Neo FSR mobo. Of course the system doesn't post, it instead gives out an endless series of beeps, about 3 seconds apart, and the D-Bracket gives me the error code in which only LED #3 is green - meaning "Initialing keyboard controller" which means nothing to me, as the keyboard is hooked up, and I checked re-checked and double re-checked the connection.
So I go about the usual diagnosis tactics, disconnecting device after device until I am left with only the CPU and one module of RAM, and still no post. I tried swapping the PSU (both rated 500w, although only 18a on the 12v+ rail). I also tried a memory module from a working system (a P4 one). I tried resetting the CMOS using the jumper.
One weird sidenote, is that the system did post twice (from over a hundred times) but it didn't get past the system information screen.
I have built several systems in my life, and this is the hardest time I ever had.
If anyone could think of something useful (except buy a new mobo), I would be very grateful.
Full system spec (if it helps, I tried it completely barebones and it made no difference):
CPU - Athlon64 3200+, including generic Heatsinc and Fan
Motherboard - MSI K8N Neo FSR, Award Bios
Memory - 2x512 Corsair value 400Mhz DDR
Hard Drive- Western Digital Caviar 200Gb S-ATA 150
Graphics Card - PNY Verto Geforce 6800 GT
PSU - L&C p4 LC-B500E - +3.3v 28A, +5v 50A, +12v 18A, -5v 0.8A, -12v 1A, 5VSB 2.5A
Several other optical drives that are currently disconnected, pending system starting to function.
No O.S has been installed yet, as the system doesn't even post.
Thanks in advance.

Cannot find the Power Led connector for JFP1 to connect on K8N Neo FSR

Hi,
I have just bought the MSI K8N Neo FSR (MS 7030) to build a new computer with (amongst others) an Athlon 64 3000 processor and an Enermax 3051 case.
I can't even get a start: if I click on "Power" I just get a red light under the Power button for 1 second and nothing start.
This may be related with the fact that I did not find a "Power LED" connector for JFP1 (I have connected all the others connectors, including the Power LED one for JFP2).
Thank you in advance for your help.
Precisions:
At the beginning, I had forgotten to connect the ATX 12V power connector on JPW1.
After having done that without getting an improvement, I did a Clear CMOS (after having unplug the power cable).
Now the CPU fan begins to turn just when I switch the power on from back of the case (and not from the power button) and stops turning after five seconds.
Sometimes, I get an orange light during 1/2 second on the D-bracket LEDs.

Quote from: Dr Stu on 20-November-05, 04:36:29
evidently if he fixed it, the solution was posted elsewhere
so what have you tried so far? has this system ever worked?
post your PSU specs. try powering up board outside the case in case there is a short somewhere
I have tried a different power unit, different JFP1 configerations, removing and replacing MB battery, changing the jumper settings on JBAT1 to clear CMOS.
Everything is just dead, no power anywhere. I get the fan light inside the Power unit to light up for 1 second when i connect the power cable and thats it. Its a 450 Watt power unit so it should be plenty. Maybe i will try removing the board and starting it that way.
This system has never worked, i just built it.

Which bios savior for the k8n neo chip???

I'm not sure which chip is in the k8n neo platinum so I hope someone knows....here's the link to the bios saviors http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/scan/se=Electronics/se=IOSS%20BIOS%20Savior/mp=menu_search.html

i have an ioss rd1-pmc4 bios saviour so i popt the bios chip out of my board and the chips look identical. i did not try it in though as i only got my cpu and motherboard the other day.will try soon

Is a 24 pin atx cable needed for the k8n neo 4 platinum?

i have a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480 Watt PSU. i am thinking about upgrading from an msi k7n2 delta to the k8n neo 4 platinum motherboard.
if i do this, do i need this adaptor cable?

Quote from: Deathstalker on 08-June-05, 22:18:54
ryansebiz,
That Power Supply has the 24 Pin Cable as part of its cables. You do not need any adapters.
Take Care,

thanks richard, you saved me $11 on a cable adaptor

K8N Neo-FSR v2.0 + Sempron 2800+ E6 = No Go?

Hello!
Wanted to assemble a rig for playing around with Ubuntu 64-Bit, so I headed out and obtained ...
... a MSI K8N Neo-FSR v2.0 (7030-20C, shipped with BIOS 5.10)
... a AMD Sempron 2800+ (Palomino, Step E6)
Upon power-on it refuses to POST ---> 1 continous beep
If I recall the AWARD beep-codes correctly this means that the CPU failed to initialize.
Troubleshooting steps:
- Stripped down to board + CPU + 1x RAM + GFX -> No Go (1 beep)
- Stripped down to board + CPU + 1x RAM -> No Go (1 beep)
- Stripped down to board + CPU -> No Go (1 beep)
Meanwhile I tested the CPU and RAM in in another S754 board a friend borrowed me ... both work fine.
So this leads me to the question:
Does anyone has a clue what might be wrong here? I don't have greater experiences with nForce boards so my knowledge about them is very limited.
Thanks for helpful suggestions.
-Storm

This is the latest bios version of the 5X bios series (and should be a safe one since yours is currently running with 510).
http://download.msi.com.tw/support/bos_exe/mbd_bios/7030v54.zip
Don't know if it will add support for your cpu though.
Well ... as the changelog of the BIOS isn't exactly informative we would only know if I could get the board to POST so that I would be able to flash.
This however isn't a valid option as the board keeps on beeping upon power-on.
Quote from: syar2003 on 27-August-06, 20:29:14
Theese 7030 boards have become unbelievable hard to track as there are so many versions released now.
ref: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=688
This page also lists another bios series to use 1X and 9X series
In addition it lists 2800 E6 Palermo as NONE (which means not verified/under testing)
Direct link to many 7030 boards bioses are also gone .
You're right --- I did some more investigation yesterday and became award of the "too many 7030's" issue. The one I'm referring to is actually the one you linked at (K8N Neo-FSR V2.0).
As the sticker on the flash reads v5.1 I assume the board is PCB rev. 1 ... as the 9.x BIOS seems to be for PCB v3.0 only.
Took a look through the CPU Support ... and ... WTH?
Only Turion CPUs and one A64 (step E6) is listed as compatible?
Guess we found the showstopper ... either the board or BIOS seems to dislike the E6 Sempron then. Hmm ... guess I either return the CPU or the board. It seems as getting a Turion would be the better choice as the shops in my area don't have anymore AGP S754 boards (and the same goes S939 boards). I only need a rig to play with server setup-scenarios of Ubuntu 64-Bit and no powerhorse for gaming or such.
Thanks for pointing me to the CPU support list ... I would have never dared to imagine that a board will only run with a limited set of AMD CPUs ...

[ram]Kingston + MSI K8N Neo-FSR?

my system:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2.0ghz
MSI K8N Neo-FSR(bios 1.40)
Asus V9999 GeForce 6800 256MB Gamer Ed. AGP
Audigy 2 zs
Win xp pro sp1
Hiper power 420W
I just bought the Kingston ValueR. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB Kit w/two matched ValueRAM 512MB.
When I boot up the pc just makes a sound piip piip piiip continuing....
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.

K8N Neo FSR, possible BIOS bug: setting Vcore with Cool'n Quiet enabled broken?

Athlon 64 3400+, socket 754
K8N Neo FSR, Pheonix-Award BIOS V1,5
WinXP SP2
Having Cool'n Quiet disabled in BIOS setup, CPU core voltage adjustment
using 'Adjust CPU VID' below the Athlon 64 default 1,5V core voltage
works like a charm. Fine!
But with Cool'n Quiet enabled in BIOS setup (and WinXP), under load the
CPU core voltage raises to 1,5V in any case, independently of what I did
define in BIOS setup with 'Adjust CPU VID' (e.g. 1,4V). Software tools setting
Vcore like Core Center are not running.
So I can choose to either run a silent system in idle mode with Cool'n Quiet
enabled or under heavy CPU load with Cool'n Quiet disabled but Vcore
reduced :-( Am I missing something or does it rather look like a BIOS
bug?
Greetings, Falo

As undervolting is not considured standard operating proceedures then how can it be considured a bug.
nor is overclocking but MSI mobo manual reads 'This motherboard is designed to support overclocking.'
So this mobo is designed for supporting at least one non standard operating procedure
Seriously, if BIOS offers a feature I suppose it to work as expected.

K8N Neo-FSR doesn't boot

Hello everyone
I got my mobo (K8N Neo-FSR) more than 6 months ago, and worked without any problems until today.
First of all, I made a BIOS update from 1.7 to 1.9 using MSI Live Update. No problems to report, the computer worked after that for several hours. Then I turned off the PC. And the next time I wanted to turn it on, it didn't boot.
Here's my D-Bracket message :
This corresponds to "Initializing keyboard controller"
The problem is that apparently it has absolutely nothing to do with my keyboard, as I tired changing it.
Clearing CMOS didn't help.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Or should I contact the support?

Before you answered, I tried to check the RAM. As a matter of fact by removing one of 3 memory sticks the computer worked. Later I figured out that if I lower the RAM frequency from 200 MHz to 166, all 3 sticks work perfectly well.
Now the question is : WHY THE HELL DID THIS BIOS UPDATE MESS UP MY RAM??? Weird.

K8N NEO FSR - wont detect HDs on first powerup (daily)

I'm having this strange problem ever since i installed this Motherboard.
First time I boot up(daily basis), it does not detect the hard drives.. any of them...
I get to the point where it notices my memory timings and says "Detecting hard drives.." (or something like that) and it just hangs there. I hit ctrl-alt-delete (also if i power it off then back on it works too) and when it comes back its fine.
Anyone had this before? Could be there's a quick fix but before I start to pick the system apart I wanted to check here first.
thanks

OK here are some specs:
AMD64 3200+ (Newcastle) - no OC
Generic 3200 DDR ram
MSI K8N NEO FSR (latest bios)
BFG 6800 OC (modded)
primary controller (ata) has: Maxtor 6Y060P0 & WDC WD800JB-00DUA3
secondary controller only has DVD-RW drive.
Sata controller has ST3120026AS
Same setup as in previous motherboard.
I guess i'll just need to check the cabling is secure once again, to be sure.
it seems this is not a common issue so most likely i can find something wrong other than with the mobo.
thanks

MSI K8N Neo FSR Game port ??? !!!

Hi,
I can't install my game port from my Creative sound card, i have try namy drivers ... I have try a another sound card, Aztech PCI288 and i have the same probleme.
Impossible to have game port !
I need a solution, this is must do working ! i can't take ma Sidewinder in the "poubelle" ! (C'est du francais )
MSI found me a solution !
bye

I get response from MSI as the following.
As the chipset on K8N Neo-FSR is nForce 3, due to the design limitation of nForce chipset, it can not support Legacy I/O decode device. However, most game port on PCI card belongs to legacy I/O decode mode, so the game port could not be used.
In fact, currently most game port on legacy I/O decode device is replaced by the corresponding USB type device. You can use USB port game devices instead of game port on PCI card.
It seems that we could not use the game port on sound card on nvidia platform.

Does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile chip out of the box
