Dual Core AMD and K8N Neo2 Platinum boards?

Can I run a X2 AMD CPU on this board? 

Yes , for both cores to be recognized you need bios version 1B and later .

    The regular AMD 4000+ (San Diego Core or Venice Core) will work on the K8N Neo2 Platinum right?

    You looked in the wrong place: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=587.  As for why. later CPUs had improvements which require updated BIOS support.

  • ATI 9000 and K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Hello, I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard, 1gig (2x 512mb) Dual PC4000 Crucial Ballistix memory, AMD 64bit 3000+ Winchester and a ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128mb.  I am waiting on my X800 XT PE 256 arriving, but in the mean time i am having some trouble running Counter-Strike on this set up, my old system with same graphics card could run CS with 100fps no problem, but now it drops to around 30fps in a heavy gun fight, I have dropped all open gl and D3D setting to performance, messed around with the bios setting's but nothing help's, also I have tried many different ATI driver versions but nothing help, if anyone has had the same problems or can offer any possible causes solutions I would be very gratefull. Oh I have a OCZ 520W PSU

    Leon28,
    The Radeon should perform at least as well as it did on your old comp. Are you using the same version of the Catalyst Drivers you used in your old comp?
    You can get the latest  ATi Drivers to see if it makes a difference.
    Take Care,

  • Buffalo pc3200 dd433-r1g and K8N Neo2 Platinum

    I bought a Buffalo 1Gb PC3200 (dd4333L-R1G/MD) for my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I put on the "green" slot (unique RAM Module) and...........Nothing, my "cacharro" dont boot. Is the RAM type (brand, etc) or is "this" particular modula that isbad or something? HELP! please (excuse my english, regards from Chile)

    Try other RAM sockets. Worst case reset the Bios.

  • Zalman CNPS7700 and K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Does anyone know if the Zalman CNPS7700 or CNPS7000 will fit on the K8N Neo2 Platinum.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Could anyone confirm that the zalman cnps7000(A/B) coolers can be use with MSI K8N Neo2 stock backplate or if the zalman backplate have to be used ?
    Thanks.....
    From SAB´s FAQ.....
    Zalman has revised the fastening types in their 7000 series HSF's - and choosing the proper model will ensure that the stock MSI backing plate removal is not required.

  • Xp wont boot after bios update with dualcore amd 4200+ (k8n-neo2 platinum)

    after flashing the bios (xp already installed on a sata stripe array)
    xp wouldn't boot anymore ... ik had to flash the bios to be able to
    use my amd x2 4200+ ...
    so I tried to instal xp freshly on the sata raid ... hangs when it restarts to instal devices ... nothing would help diffrent drivers , basic bios settings , all pci cards removed and switched of everything i could in the bios to get a really basic setup
    to instal ... no help whatsoever ...
    now if i try to instal on a normal ide everything works like a breeze ... dual core , raid , everything ...
    personaly I suspect either the windows instal stuff to be the problem with dualcore
    but even more the nforce drivers since they have not been updated since june 2004 ...
    can someone help me out please ???

  • Few question above the k8n neo2 platinum and raid

    hi
    i have for now intel 3.4ghz and asus p4c800dlux and 4 sata drives :
    2x36giga wd 10000 raptors in raid 0 (connected to the on board promise sata controller)
    2x200giga wd 7200 jd sata that (connected to on bard sata ports)
    i order a athlon fx-55 and k8n neo2 platinum for a oc (a have 2x512 corsiar pc4000pro and hydro cool 200 ) and its look that its going to be problem  
    "SATA ports 1+2 will not maintain a lock and you can and will corrupt hard drives placed on these channels if you raise the HTT above 220mhz."  
    http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=ge...890&articID=228
    so im in a problem, if i wont to do nice oc (and i will) i need to leave sata ports 1 and 2 not connected and buy a sata-pci controller for my 2x200giga , im right ?
    in that case i need to connect the raptors in raid 0 in the sata 3-4 prots (near the agp) but:
    the raid on the noe2 is "NV RAID (Software)" it means that there is no a controller like promise and the cpu need to replace the controller work, so its doing a lower performance.  

    If you had 4 huge drives I would be more sympathetic. To me every board is a compromise, resulting in me having to abandon something I might have done previoulsy. In you case ditch the two 36gb drives, and slum it with the 200gb drives. Remember that "overclocking" is not a right. There will be many users oblivious of the SATA 1/2 overclocking problems running 4 sata drives in RAID without a problem.

  • NOOB -MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum questions

    Hi
    I coming from an Intel background but am now considering changing to AMD; i'd like to keep my agp x800xt pe card and get a MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum board but have got a few questions /concerns.
    I have looked on several forums including MSI's own forum and noticed people having problems with corsair value select memory modules.
    My questions which i'd be grateful for answers to are:
    1. Am gamer and planning to also purchase a 4000+ to put in it - will the board recognise it straight away or will I need to update BIOS..
    2. Want to transfer my current 4x512mb 3200 Corsair Value Select sticks to my new board - will there be any compatibility problems? (cannot afford to buy new memory)
    3. Will I be able to run the memory 200 + ? as heard the boards base clock for a 4000+ is 166
    4. If I can run these at 200 can i do this straight away or will i need to overclock them slowly to get to 200 (will the board see them as 3200 and start at 200?)
    5. Anything else I should know/look out for?
    Many thanks to all. My first post here so hello to everyone.

    Hello !!
    Let´s try to answer your questions...
    1. It depends on which Bios Version is installed out of the Box, i suggest version 1.8, if you are not using a Venice / Dual-Core or later CPU Core. The advantages of biosses later than version 1.8 are the new Steppings Support and some new Memory Timing Options available in Bios Setup.
    2. I do not know exactly, i think most corsair sticks are running well on this Board if you are not going to overclock. But it depends on which Chips are used your Corsair Modules. What could be a problem is that you are going to use 4 Ram Sticks, because with Winchester Cores you would not be able to run 4 Sticks in PC3200Dual Channel Mode (DDR333), even if your Ram would be 100% compatible with your MOBO. Venice and later Cores are able to handle 4 sticks at 400Mhz DDR clock. Except you own 4 single sided Ram Modules.
    3. Should be possible if your memory likes it.....
    4. No, the Bios will recognize your SPD Timings. So you will have to overclock them from a 166Mhz Memory Divider Base.
    5. Take a look here:

  • K8N NEO2 Platinum rebooting

    Hi all,just got myself a 64bit MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum board & a 3200+,am happy with it but a couple of days ago i got a blue screen with a long message that i didnt have time to read before the pc rebooted,after the reboot i checked the event viewer log file in administrative tools/control panel but couldnt narrow it down as my particular error code wasnt among the possible causes.
    Among some of the possible causes were incorrectly installed USB drivers or the BIOS,i downloaded the latest BIOS update before this problem started(V1.40) which i am using now,i used the MSI live update software to flash it which i did in windows mode.Sorry for prattling on!well it did it again tonight and i managed to read a bit of the writing on the blue screen which mentioned flashing the bios to the latest version.I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem and if so could you please advise me?

    My K8N Neo Platinum [754] did not include a NB fan. But this usually means the overall size of the heatsink is larger. If you remove the fan from yours, the size of the heatsink will not be big enough to cool your NB. As for temps, I've never seen my NB get hotter than 45'C. Note that the core on my NB should be slightly different than yours.
    You could try to use the BIOS fan control for the NB. If set correctly, it should reduce some noise.

  • Kingston HyperX Memory & K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Hello.
    I have a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum board (BIOS 1.3) with AMD 64 3000+ 939 CPU.
    I am trying to run this with 2 Kingston HyperX PC3200 512MB memory (KHX3200ULK2/1G).  This is the latest "Ultra-low Latency" memory from Kingston.
    When I run this memory with NO overclocking at 2-2-2-5-1 at 2.7 volts (standard setting for this memory) with a single module, I get NO errors.  When I try both chips in dual-channel mode, I get errors (on MemTest86).
    (I also get errors if I run this memory on "Auto" setting in BIOS)
    I CAN run 2 sticks of Crucial PC3200 512MB (regular, not Ballistix)  at standard settings in dual-channel with no errors.
    Has anyone got this memory to work on this board in dual-channel mode?  If so, how? At what timings?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You should be able to at least find a sweeter spot.
    You may even have to go to 2T and non aggressive settings.
    Why would the timings work when in single channel mode, but not in dual channel, when the Crucial memory works fine in dual channel at the same timings used in single channel?
    On a side note, the Kingston pair was purchased together in a matched set, while the 2 Crucial sticks (actually the memory from my system) were bought seperately over a month apart.
    The timings that RZT tried are the exact ones Kingston specifies for that model, there should be NO reason whatsoever they wouldn't work at those timings, dual or single channel.
    Please correct me if I am wrong...
    First of all, I said "in the meantime," meaning until someone else came up with a better answer. If I have problems with memory, regardless of what the manufacturer says' I hunt for a sweetspot (if there is one).

    That's like trying to compare apples to oranges. Two different manufacturers and likely different chips onboard, not to mention likely different PCB design.
    What I suspect is either one stick is further out of spec than the other and they are not a properly matched pair. Kingston has a history with the nForce chipset which leaves little to be desired.
    That is why you might see very similar systems, and one works with the same ram, and the other doesn't. It's called parametric differences. In short, one stick my be at the upper end of the spec and the other stick may be at the lower end. Then, throw in the motherboard, and the CPU, (now with the onboard memory controller) while we're at it, and you have a real touchy situation. There is little room for lower quality. That is why matched pairs exist. Doesn't mean it's mandatory, however.

    I take it you know this person, otherwise this is not making sense or you are a pretty slick hijacker
    Matched set can still be flawed, I get em from the best once in a while. It may not be the RAM at all. Only way to tell for sure is to try it on another identical system or try another pair that passes muster in another identical system. All this speculating is useless unless you've exhausted all possibilities.

    Not wrong, maybe a little overoptimistic. Some situations warrant different measures. It's not that black and white, nor is it written in stone. At this point it only indicates there is indeed a problem, where it lies, would be better off using a dartboard to guess at this point.

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum + Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU

    I found a local supplier that is selling the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ CPU socket 939.
    My question is, will the 5000+ work on the K8N Neo2 Platinum board?
    I ask because MSI's CPU support status only shows compatiblity up to 4800+, Chart here.
    My current BIOS is W7025NMS V1.C

    ok, trust me, the supplier is lying.

  • Help K8N Neo2 Platinum

    hi Having Real Problems The With K8N Neo2 Platinum Board
    When Starting Up The PC All I Get Is One LOud Beep That Lasts About
    2 Seconds And Then Stops For 2 Seconds Then Does It Again And So On
    But Never Gets To Post ,I Thought It Might Be Some Card Not Seated Right
    But After Checking All Cards And Memory The Same Thing Happens Ive Now Took
    All The Components Out And Rebuilt My Old 2600xp Socket a And All The Components Are Working Fine , So My Problem is HAve I Got A Doa Motherboard
    Or Is It The Athlon64 3200+ ,Oh And The memory That I Been Using Is Branded
    Samsung Pc3200 512mb And Ive Also Tried Samsung Branded Pc2700 2x256mb
    But Since This Memory Works Fine In My old 2600xp System It Cant Be That Could it >?

    One Of The problems That I Have Is I Didnt Get the D Card With The Motherboard
    As i Bought A OEM Product ,Ive Only Just read About The Memory Config On MSI Site Which Clearly States That You Should Always Start To Populate The Green
    First But I`m Sure This Has Only Just Been Added To The Site Check It Here
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=607
    And yes The memory Can Work In Dual Channel Mode But Only With The Samsung PC2700 At 256mb A peice
    My Thinking Behind The Graphics CArd Change ie (Swapping The Radeon 9800 Pro
    For A Old Radeon 9600 Pro ) Is To See If It May be The Power Supply As The The 9800 Pro Shares The Same 12v line As The Athlon64 CPu But Can`t See It Being The Power Supply As its Only 3 Weeks Old And Is A enermax 470w With Dual 12v
    RAils
    But Still My Biggest Question Is Could This be A Faulty athlon64 3200xp Skt 939 CPU >?

  • Prevent usb mouse starting pc from standby ( k8n Neo2 platinum )

    I have a k8n neo2 platinum board and i have 2 mice connected, 1 is ps2 the other usb. What i want to do is stop the usb mouse starting the pc from standby, i looked in the bios but cant seem to find anyway to do this. Its a real pain, if the unit the pc is on is nudged by the chair or if someone pics something up and nudges the mouse the pc starts. Sometimes this happens of a night when ive gone to bed, i come down the next morning and the pc,s running. Its quite a quiet pc so if the tv,s on you dont always hear it start-up.
     

    Ive just tried your suggestion now TheBigMan, i disabled everything and still the pc starts from the usb mouse. I have never known such messing about shutting down and starting up a pc. I really am starting to wish i had bought an asus board instead. Thanks for your input.
       

  • K8N NEO2 PLATINUM HANGS WITH NVIDIA, WORKS WITH ATI???????????

    HI
    I have endless problems with nivida cards on a MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM board.  I have tried 4 different nvidia cards and they all hang on any 3D app or game. NFSU2 looks like it lags in the menu already. It stops for 2 sec then goes again for about 10 secs.
    Slot in any ATI grachics card and it works 100% for hours with no problems. I am runnig a 480W Antec psu aslo, so there is no power problem.
    Anybody have any idea???????????????????

    well..i tried to oc my vid with 78.01  my comp rebooted in just a few seconds of game play...so i reset clock speeds to stock...got rid of 78.01's and installed 80.40 betas...so far so good..and i got this email replay from BFG asking for any fixes..here's a summary of what they said
    "If you check the HardOCP forums as well as many others, issues with NF3 chipset motherboards are rampant. They seem to be limited to the implementation of a 64-bit processor with AGP architecture cards, fast ones in particular, but NOT limited to NVIDIA cards. People with fast ATI cards have the same issues... so don't act without investigating.
    We have no point of action we can do for you in the matter. The chipset and drivers for it are made by NVIDIA, then implemented by different companies on their products. The exact same can be said for the GPU, chipset on the graphics cards and drivers for them. We're a manufacturer who uses their technology and unified drivers for our cards, but we make "OC" cards that run faster than NVIDIA designed their GPU and chips to run. NVIDIA can't control "how" the companies implement their technology, but makes every effort to create drivers to accommodate issues that crop up during the product 'life-cycle'."
     ill say this...i personally havent seen anyone with an ATI having this issue..if anyone knows of that...please let me know...as much as i bashed ATI....i feel like im left with no choice  but to buy one(x850xt pe)if no one plans on fixing this for us..any imput is appreciated
