Does the Neo4-F suffer the same temp problems as the Neo2 Platinums?

Hey there,
I'm about to change my Neo2's below and in the process put these five Opteron 146's in "something'.
(The Asus board is a test bed. I really liked my old A7N8X Dx's and bought it cheap enough used)
Can someone here answer if the Neo4-F's suffer the temp reading problems as my Neo2 Platinums do?
Nothing like rebooting to "get' a lower temp. Or watch it rise 1-2deg a day in a stable ambient.
I'd really like to not end up with new BIOS's being released attempting to cure the "supposed" temps reported.
They run 24/7 for Grid.org's Cancer Research and misleading or incorrectly reported temps worry me at times.
Thanks,
Rick

Hi......
Can´t speak for the Neo4-F MoBo, just some general comments, that may or may not help you.
What temp problems did you have with your Neo2 MoBo ?
Getting a 100% accurate cpu temp reading seems to be difficult task to achieve for many Vendors and softwaremakers.
Differant vendors may have differant ways to monitor the integreated cpu temp sensor, which does not necessarily mean that the actual cpu temp is differant between differant MoBo´s.
Meaning a low cpu temp report may not be true and vice versa, so knowing the true cpu temp is not that easy, but I believe that any system that runs stable 24/7 is happy, no matter what cpu temp that is reported ( within reasonable values)
There are usually some "safe cpu temp" biossettings that could be changed, if the reported cpu temp is too high, to avoid shut downs / boot problems.
Some basic factors to consider are ;
- ambient room temperature
- what cpu cooler / thermal grease is used
- case / system ventilation and airflow
- what biosversion used
- surrounding system componenets, like VGA, PSU etc.
- stock or OC cpu-speed and cpu voltage
The above factors are the things you can affect yourself, no matter what MoBo.
For the moment I´m running a K8N Neo2 / Winchester with some 28c idle and 45c load.
I´m getting an opteron 146 to the weekend and it will be interesting to see what cpu temp I will get.
It is my understanding that the opterons runs a bit hotter compared to winchester / Venice cores.

  • Does the Neo2 support DDR2 4200 533MHz Ram?

     Not holding my breath but does the Neo 2 Platinum NF3 support DDR2 4200 533MHz Dual Channel Geil ram? (2x1gig).
     It only saysd DDr400 in the manual so I'm assuming it won't run it? (Its a matched pair as well I'm looking at buying).
     Any help welcome:)

    Your motherboard does not support ddr2 memory which uses a different socket.
    Agreed. In addition: none of the current Athlon 64 CPUs is actually supporting DDR2 (memory controller is built in CPU, remember?). You will have to wait for the new CPUs (socket AM2) which will be available in June 2006.

  • Does the 975x platinum PE support boot from OCZ revodrive?

    Hi all!
    Does anyone know if the 975x platinum powerup edition motherboard supports an OCZ revodrive x2 on its second long scale PCIe slot and also boot from it?

    The board is going to be 5 years old this year and the RevoDrive is a pretty new piece of hardware.  That basically means three things:
    1.) Active BIOS Development was stopped about 2 years ago.  Whatever the case is with the RevoDrive, there will most likely not be a BIOS Fix in case any issues should surface.
    2.) MSI has most likely never tested an OCZ RevoDrive 2 on this mainboard is most probably not going to do so in the future (they won't dig every old board out of the archive to check compatibility with newer devices -> that kind of job is to time consuming & would never be finished)
    3.) The number of users that still have this mainboard in active use, actually tried a RevoDrive and are therefore able to share their experiences is rather low.
    Basically, your only chance is that a user that fits into the category outlined under 3.) finds this thread by accident and is willing to provide feedback.  If that does not happen, you are basically on your own.  Test it and see for yourself.  That would be my advice. It should actually work.  The RevoDrive 2 is first and foremost a Silicon Image RAID Controller which dates back to 2005/06 and it is therefore rather old itself.  

  • News - BIG PROBLEM - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - DOES NOT POWER!!!

    Hi to everyone.
    I'm a proudly owner of a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum that in one year gave me no problem until yesterday morning.
    I used the computer in the night before and when I finished I turned it off and I went to bed.
    Yesterday morning I found the power led blinking (like if the system was in standby), and there was no way to turn the PC on.
    I even took off the battery for more than 12 hours and I left only minimal components installed:
    the video card (Gainward GeForce 6800),
    the psu (Antec TruePower 550W),
    1 x 512 MB Ram Crucial Ballistix,
    and I checked them into another computer and they work perfectly.
    I tried shorting the MB power switch pins with a screwdriver and I've even tried to power on the system without the Memory or the Video Card... I've tried everything that came across my mind with no efforts!!!!
    Every time I give power to the MB appens only that the power led starts blinking, but pressing the button the PC doesn't turn on.
    PLEASE HELP ME... I really don't know what else to do!!!
    Thanks,
    Alberto

    Hi thanks for the answers.
    I do have a D-Bracket, but my problem is not that the system does not boot or does not post... my system DOES NOT POWER ON (!!!!), so d-bracket is useless!
    When I plug the system power    the only thing that happens is that the power led starts blinking (with the system still in soft-off), and if I press the power switch button nothing happens! 
    I've the bios for 7025 v1.8 and the settings where for OFF on power-loss ond pressing the button (can't rememeber if it was more than 4 sec) was meant to turn off the computer, but considering that I un-powered the pc more than once without the MB battery the settings should be factory default by now.
    I went through the Windows-XP shut-down system, and i could not be an electrical problem as I always used the PC with a pretty good UPS unit.
    Right now these are the full specs of my sytem:
    - MB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra
    - GAINWARD 6800 2600 GLH 256 MB Ram
    - PSU Antec TruPower 550 W
    - CPU AMD64 3500+ core Winchester @11*210 Mhz (this cpu has never overclocked very well)
    - HEATSINK Thermalright XP-90 with a 12 Cm Enermax Fan (CPU temp in always below 55 °C when stressed)
    - 1 x 512 Mb RAM Crucial Ballistix DDR400 optimized for  MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    I left only these things inside my computer in the hope that it would turn on... it did not work. I tested each component but the MB, and they work perfectly.
    Again...
    Thanks for you efforts, any help will be appreciated.
    Alberto.
    All parts have been tested: CPU/RAM/GFX/PSU/HD/DVD,  just not the MOBO ?
    Checked if the MOBO is shorting in the case ?
    Have you tried using the reset switch as power, on/off switch ?  I've seen before when the power switch stops working (lose/bad wire busted spring) after swapping  reset to power, then the system turned on. Worth a try, as sending it back to USA won't be cheap. If its over 1 year old it mite not be covered by the re-seller and or MSI. Best to check this out as law and warranty is different from country to country.
    Good Luck

  • **Does the neo platinum support registered memory?**

    Here is the RAM i bought (and have now RMA'd to newegg) http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-470&depa=0 here is my problem !HELP! Comp wont post!
    is it because my RAM is registered that my comp wont post with it installed?

    I hate to sound like a customer service rep of NewEgg, but according to their policy FAQ,
    "May I exchange my RMA'd item for a different product?"
    "No. We do not exchange RMA items for different items. We replace an item only with the exact same item type. If the warranty period for a refund has not been exceeded, an RMA request for refund can be placed online and then the new item can be purchased (also online) and the RMA item will be refunded when received. You may view this as an exchange. "
    I order stuff from them, so I thought I'd seen this comment earlier.
    If they don't let you get a different memory module, what you might want to try is placing the memory online on Ebay, and selling below the market price by 5%-10%.  Make sure you say "New" on the ad.  You will obviously lose a little money, but better that than have useless memory.

  • Does the 975x platinum PE really support 1066MHz DDR2?

     ???
    Hello I recently purchased a 975x Platinum edition and basically have two queries. First on the MSI press center page for this motherboard it clearly states it will support the newer 1066mhz ddr2 ram
        * Base on Intel® 975X Express Chipset
        * Support LGA775 Intel Core™ 2 Processors
        * Support 1066/800/533 MHz FSB
        * Support DDR2-1066/800/667/533
        * 2 PCI Express x16& 2 PCI Express x1 slots
        * Support ATi CrossFire Technology
        * 4+1 SATA2 3Gb/s Support RAID
        * Support 7.1 Channel Dolby MS HD Audio
        * Support Intel® PRO Gigabit LAN
        * Communication Slot
        * Dual CoreCell on Board
    http://msicomputer.co.uk/uk_news.aspx?News_Id=62
    IT also says it supports max of 8gb of ram using 4 slots.
    as far as i know I haven't seen any 2gb modules.
    I've read some of the concerns on this forum and have noticed people have had trouble getting their module up to 800mhz. What's the deal here.
    Thanks.

    Hi Rodruff,
    As you see by my specs below I am running 1066mhz memory, I went for the cheap stuff Kingston Hypre PC8500 and Am running it at 1060mhz. I can not overclock it but I can recommend your bios settings for you as I went through quite a bit of testing.
    I have a 60mm fan attached to both my north bridge and south bridge,needed to get over 300mhz clock. I am using bios beta 716 and my proc @2.8GHZ nice and stable. I have found that this bios is stable and gives correct ratios for memory.
    Your memory may differ from mine but I can not push my FSB past 353mhz as this would force my memory into overclocking and it won't take it.
    FSB:Dram = 1:1.5 = 1:3/2 = 353:530 (double the data rate so effective is 1060mhz) My memory would only work at ratios 1:1 or 1:1.5, yours may differ but it's a good starting point. I have my Vcore @1.3 for a 353mhz FSB.
    Technically if you want to run your proc at stock you should be able to run 1:2 ratio, 267:533 but mine can not run @1066 exact so I would have to lower my clock, no thanks. You may need to up your vdram to 2.2 for these higher ratios but you will need to check your memory specs to confirm.
    Also you will need to set your memory timing manually, mine being 5-5-5-15 but I am running 4-4-4-12 ok. You will need to check your mem specs to get your timing though.
    Lastly there are some settings to disable in the bios as to not mess with your overclocking -
    Advanced settings/CPU settings -
    Disable Speed step
    Disable C1E something?
    Disable Visualisation
    Cell Menu -
    Disable Spread spectrum
    Disable PCI clk
    Let us know how you get on - Remember that if the board doen't like your overclock it goes into a no dosplay/reboot cycle. Power down and press the power button twice to reset bad setting. That fails press the bios reset switch located in the front left  hand corner of the board.
    Good Luck

  • Melted Neo2 Platinum, new Neo4, but nothing

    I came home to the smell of burnt plastic and a silent computer. Part of the Neo2 Platinum next to the Firewire pins (unused) had melted. I've RMAed the Neo2, and since installed a Neo4. The DLEDs start and stop at GRRG. I get nothing on the screen. I've swapped in hard drives I know to be good, and an old Matrox Millenium II known to be good, and still I get nothing. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Your GRRG description of D-Bracket is unclear.  Please use the naming system from the thread above 1, 2, 3, 4 going from top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right.  Do you mean 1G,2R,3Rand 4G? [Bios sign on?] The thread gives diagnostics, but they are not infallible.  Did you reset cmos properly (pulling plug from psu, etc. until you finished hitting the cmos reset switch/jumper) before you started the build?
    Did you have any other problems or wierd system behavior before the fire?

  • My iMovie doesn't work. When I open it nothing comes up so I force quit but then it closes, and a message comes up to send to apple. When I try to reopen it, it does the same thing!

    Please hep me this is super aggrivating and I have no clue what to do!

    Hello BellzJay,
    Thank you for your question. It sounds like your iMovie window is not appearing when you open the program and force quitting it then reopening it does the same thing. I would recommend these staps in particluar to try from the following article:
    iMovie: How to troubleshoot "Application Unexpectedly Quit" messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3143
    1) Verify your software is up to date by running Software Update.
    The updates necessary to resolve the issue are those relating to QuickTime, iLife, iMovie and Mac OS X. If any of these updates are available, install the updates. After you install the updates, run Software Update again to verify there are no more updates for that application available.
    2) Disable non-essential QuickTime components.
    Navigate to /Library/QuickTime/ for a list of components currently installed.
    Temporarily disable any components that are not in the list below. You can disable the components by moving them to the Desktop or another folder outside of the /Library/QuickTime/ folder.
    Open iMovie and see if the issue is resolved. If iMovie no longer unexpectedly quits, check to see if an updated component is available, or contact the developer of the component for further recommendations.
    iMovie uses the following components, and should be left in the QuickTime folder:
    AppleIntermediateCodec.component
    AppleMPEG2Codec.component
    Note: There may also be a similar folder at ~/Library/QuickTime/ depending on the components you have installed. If this folder is available on your Mac, remove any components as instructed in step 2. Both of these locations hold QuickTime components. The components help you encode or decode different types of multimedia content.
    5) Run Apple Hardware Test and Disk Utility
    If you are experiencing unexpected behavior in other applications, check your hardware by using Apple Hardware Test. You can also test your hard disks using the Verify and Repair functions of Disk Utility.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
