Fastest overclock w MSI Neo2 Digital and AMD64 3000+ with OCZ 512 x 2 premier?

I was looking at a faster CPU and can't be bothered as they are costly and power hungry. I am looking at upgrading my platform with either of an Intel E8500 or the equivalent AMD cpu with an onboard video motherboard with HDMI...
but, for now, since I can't afford to upgrade at the moment, I was wondering if I could safely up my CPU to 2.4 GHZ or less. I have read people going to 2.4+ GHZ so I figure I could try going to 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 GHZ. The CPU is literally worth next to nothing, so it's worth a try. Any thoughts? If there are risks in overclocking close to the limits, I'll back it off to 2.2 or 2.3 GHZ, but, I should still see SOME improvement.
My Motherboard is an MSI Neo2 Platinum.
thanks,

You should give the full name of your MB in signature, I assume it's a K8N Neo2 Platinum. Same thing for vid card, GTS without number doesn't say much (example of mine: 9600 GT). It's possible as you said to get it to 2.4 but some systems will OC better than others so you just have to go for it and see what you come up with. Keep an eye on CPU temp when attempting any OC.
Read what you can about OCing it and then if any more questions or have any problems post back here and we'll help the best we can.

MSI NEO2 - F and Athlon 3000 64 Venice

MSI send to me a new beta bios and now Dual ram working fine , but now i have another problem ..(beta bios 903)
CPU benchmarks are very low , my A643000 is slower then athlon xp 2800 :/ i tested it in sisoft sandra 2005 ..
Any idea for help me
ps.sorry for my english :/

Well I'm in work right now and dont remember all bios seting , but cool and queit maybe is enable a try in home that settings and disable this,
Cpu V was in 1.4 in core center,memmory have settings Ddr400 , cl2.5 , 3 7 3 and voltage is 2.65 (2 x 512 kingston 3200 ) but memmory benchmark results are very good ...(temp cpu is 37'C)
HT is 800mhz and voltage for this is auto.
and AGP Freguency ?? what is this ? j have setting " sync with cpu" on..
but some others is 66 and 77 ..

K9AG Neo2 Digital and USB

System specs:
AMD 64 X2 6000 (125w)
K9AG Neo2 Digital (bios 1.5)
2x Kingston 1G DDR2 667
MSI Ge force 7800GT
Western Digital 500GB IDE HD
Windows XP Home SP2
Thermaltake 700w PSU
Please excuse any naivety on my part. I recently purchased the CPU/mainboard mentioned above and am not able to install USB 2.0 from the included CD. All other drivers (ATI installed first) installed with no problem. This was a clean install of Windows XP SP1 with SP2 installed immediately after. BIOS indicates that USB is enabled. I've tried uninstalling the USB drivers with no change after reboot. With that, I'm at the end of my comfort zone for any other proceedings and come to the forum for help. In searching the forums, I found this post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=112724.0 which I tried to emulate and failed. I'd appreciate further insight and assistance. I have another question as well. The CPU/board was purchased locally at a point when I didn't have access to review or investigate the products on line. I was told the 6000 125w would work with no problems with the K9AG Neo2 board. Is this the case and am I risking damage to system? Thanks for your time.

The 125w version of AMD X2 cpus should not be used with your motherboard. These cpus overload the power regulation circuit on the motherboard and can cause the motherboard's power regulation circuit to fail. This may be the cause of the USB problem since the USB controller draws power from the motherboard to run any USB devices.
Check this link for supported cpu.

IMHO, exchange your cpu for the 89w version and see if that cures your problem.

MSI Neo2 FR and ATI 4870

does anybody have a similar setup? i seem to be having problems getting my system to boot with a ATI 4870 in, i have tried everything. i even purchased a new PSU but i'm still getting the same result, has anybody came across a problem like this before with this board?
i dont really see why it would be causing a problem as my current 8000GT runs fine on the board :(
much thx

hi thx for the reply
as far as the board goes its a MSI Neo2 FR this is the one http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1261
when i try to boot with the HD4870 in i get and error and going by the lights on the board it would be a problem with the graphics interface, green, red, red, red, i replace the card with my old 8800GT and the system boots fine. i know theres nothing wrong with the ATI 4870 card as its been sent back to the place i bought it from and tested and seems to be fine :/
edit: i also have the latest bois which is v1.10

MSI Neo2 FISR2 and dynamic overclocking

Last question I think.. With the bios update i did, in the bios there is the Dynamic Overclocking option. Under this there are several settings IE.
Soldier
corporal
general
(there are like 5 options or so but I dont remember them all.. they're all military position names though)
what do these mean and wahts the difference? is it jus the degree to which the dynamic overclock will produce?

Hi Asphix,
Each are D.O.T functions for o/cing, choose the lowest for normal rate and the highest level for real big o/cing... I supposed... Maybe you should look into you manual for more info...
All the Best... :D!!!

MSI Neo2 865PE and SCSI Controller Question

Hi All,
Im new here so be easy on me
Anyways im currently building a new system P4 System based on the new 800FSB, i have all the parts ready, ie. CPU, DDR400 RAM, Case, Adaptec SCSI Controller, HDD etc etc, but believe it or not i havent purchased a motherboard yet. The reason being i want to get clarification that my setup will actually work with the motherboard before i go out and buy it. WHAT SETUP you ask, please read on
Now the reason im posting here is because from what i can see on the internet this is a really top notch board (best performer in the recent THG test) so naturally its one of the boards im considering.
Now to the my QUESTION: I want to use my SCSI drive connected to the Adaptec as the OS drive and boot from it. However my main concern is that the Neo2 865PE wont let me boot of the SCSI Hard Disk attached to the Adaptec SCSI 21960 controller. Ive been told that certain motherboards eg. ASUS wont detect a SCSI controller on boot up because it will only detect the onboard RAID controller as the SCSI controller, therefore not letting you use the SCSI disk at the boot device.
Can anyone ease my mind and tell me the MSI 865 Neo2 will let me do what i intend??? ie. Boot of SCSI disk.
Any response/comments is appreciated
Cheers

Hi Domino,
Thanyou for testing the setup out for me.....
When you tested it did you have your onboard Intel S-ATA RAID controller enabled? because i believe this is where the problem will eventuate, when you enable the m/b's ONBOARD RAID controllers.
Cheers

Anyone have an example of a PCI-6250 Digital and Analog Aquistion with Analog Post-Trigger?

Hey All,
We're trying to set up a post trigger data capture of parallel absolute strobed Gurley 17-bit encoder data (ignoring MSB for 16-bit aquisition) with an analog signal that is the output of a torque load cell. The trick is to use the analog signal level as a post-trigger to stop the data aquisition.
1) can the analog signal be recorded and used as the trigger?
2) does anyone have an example using the PCI-6250 (or 6251)
Thanks in advance for your help,
-Drewksi

Hi Drewski,
You can use the APFI0 line as an analog trigger for your signal. However, in this case you need to connect your analog signal to both the analog channel you want to acquire at and the APFI0 line.
Assuming you are using LabVIEW,you can check the "Acq&Graph Voltage-Ext Clk-Analog reference.vi" example. This examples uses an external clock but it works also with the internal clock. All you have to do to change the control to onboard clock.
You can find this example in LabVIEW Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Analog Measurement >> Voltage

These ATI cards 9500 Pro and 9700 Pro ok for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and winchester cpu? Compatible?

Looking at grabbing a used ATI 9500 Pro or used 9700 Pro AGP card for my MSI Neo2 Plat since I can't use my Matrox G400.
Any problems using either of the above cards? I don't play a huge amount of 3D games so I'm not going to grab a 9800 Pro or XT or 6600GT. A 9500 or 9700 Pro would allow me to play the newer games at reasonable resolutions. Just want to make sure they are compatible.
thanx

Ok guys, thanx for the feedback. I missed the 9500 Pro sale, so maybe its for the better. If I'm going to try a bit of 3D gaming, I may aswell get a little bit better card. So here is my question for you folks:
For my MSI K8N Neo2 and AMD64 3000+ system, I want a card that will have good 2D output and good DVD playback. I want to try some 3D games, but don't want to have the minimum. I was looking at used 9500 Pro's and the 9600 XT but I've come across a used 9700 Pro and a 9800 Pro and 9800 Pro with r360 core (almost a 9800XT). So if I get a 9700 Pro, what will I be able to play smoothly at what settings and what will I be unable to play. Ultimately, I may play mostly on my projector at 858 x 484, so maybe the cards don't matter too much. If I don't play 3D games much after a while, I'll probably downgrade, but I want to give it a try. I can't afford a new 9800 Pro/XT or 6600GT.
Used cards I'm deciding between. Have to act fast.
9700 Pro $170 CAD or 9800Pro $210 CAD or 9800 with r360 core $230. Price differences between the cards is as you see there.
thanx in advance for any feedback,

MSI Neo2 Platinum (Winchester3200) - strange instability issue in Windows

My specs:
Winchester 3200 CPU
MSI Neo2 Platinum 1.4 bios
2 x 512 Kingston PC4000 3-3-3-8-1
Gainward 5900Xt GS
Seagate 160Gb SATA on SATA port 3
The problem seems quite odd to me, so I decided to post here. Generally, the PC is stable, passes more than an hour of Prime95, 3d marks run fine etc.. but in Windows (XP Sp1) I'm getting this annoying issue: when I let the system run idle for a while, with none or some windows open but no programs active, my computer literally freezes. I can move the mouse, but i can't open any windows or click any buttons. Still, the keyboard is responding so I hit ALT + CTRL + DEL and get the Windows Security window. There I click on the Task Manager and all i get is an empty desktop, with the wallpaper but no icons or any activity whatsoever.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Nope.. And I hardly believe it's a software issue. Will try a fresh install of XP today, nut the reason of such strange behaviour escapes me :] Cmon people, any ideas ?
If you problem isn't related to software, then the only other thing that comes to mind is that overclocking is the culprit. I'm not overclocking anything (except my 3d card, and that only slightly) and have no such problems with my K8N Neo2. You describe a strange problem, certainly, and in my own experience such behaviors--system runs great in some normal situtations but in others it doesn't--have always been related to overclocking of some kind. If you aren't overclocking anything then it's probably software induced. Good luck!

[Other 865 Series] MSI 865PE Neo2-V and Dual Channel Mode Question

Hello, I have a quick question regarding dual channel mode with my current motherboard. I have an MSI 865PE Neo2-V and am wondering if it is possible to enable dual channel mode while having three RAM modules inserted in the motherboard.
For example, I currently have one 512MB PC3200 module in my computer. If I purchase another 512MB module and run them in dual channel mode, will it be possible to buy a 1GB module or another size module, and still have all three slots run in dual channel mode? Or is dual channel only operational on this motherboard if only two of the three slots are occupied?
Thanks.

Dual channel requires an even number of sticks.

bejon2000,
Good point bejon,
I re-read the article and this what it says: " ....If you remember, older Athlon 64 processors based on 130nm cores didn’t support 4 double-sided DDR400 SDRAM modules working at 400MHz frequency at all and reduced their frequency to 333MHz automatically. The today’s processors based on 90nm cores offer us a few better solutions. The D core revision also known as Winchester allows using four double-sided DDR400 memory DIMMs if the Command Rate timing is set to 2T."
From what you posted the Winnie D core CPU may need a little TLC and voltage boost. but it should run 4 X double sided 512 sticks at DDR 400 and 2T. Venice or later core may not need such TLC or voltage boost but still need manual selections in BIOS Cell menu.
Thanks for pointing this out,

MSI P45 Platinum and Neo2-FR

Hello everyone!
I have small question will P45 Platinum and P45 Neo2-FR work fine with those memories OCZ DDR2 PC8500 4096MB KIT, Reaper HPC, 2x2048MB, Heatpipe, (CL5-5-5-18) ?

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 04-October-08, 18:05:31
A few facts about the P45 Chipset and those memory modules:
1) According to Intel Specifications, the Intel P45 Chipset natively supports DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 modules, that is it.
2) Those OCZ Modules are essentially DDR2-800 modules (use DDR2-800 chips). DDR2-1066 is an overclocking rating that will force you to overvolt these sticks above DDR2 standard voltage.
3) EPP profiles are pre-programmed OC profiles that are not fully supported on Intel Chipsets but are for NVidia Chipsets only.
The bottom line is:
-> To run those modules @standard DDR2-800 speed should be no problem (neither on the P45 Platinum nor on the P45 Neo2-FR.
-> Trying to get the system stable @DDR2-1066 speed may or may not work stable, as this means overclocking both the memory controller AND the modules. So, get ready to some tweaking of memory related BIOS settings (inlcuding memory voltage, MCH Voltage, DDR reference voltages and timings) to find stable settings for non-standard clock speeds.
So I shouldn't have any problems to start computer after I connect everything? And what IF I will be unlucky and those memories won't work ?

MSI P35 Neo2-FR and GeForce 8800GT?

Hello,
I am interested in buying MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard, and also the latest GeForce 8800GT. But after doing some research I notice that many people have having problems installing their 8800GT card into motherboards with a PCI-E 1.0a slots, and the Neo2-FR has 1.0a slots! However there seem to be exceptions, some motherboards with 1.0a slots work with 8800GT!
This is all very confusing
Can anyone verify that MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard and GeForce 8800GT (With PCI-E 2.0!) works in the 1.0a slot??
Thank you.

According to many sources, both personal and documentary, PCI-e 2.0 cards will work in PCI-e 1.X slots(Wikipedia is not exactly what I would consider a super source). Here's a more official source, PCI-SIG.
http://www.pcisig.com/news_room/faqs/pcie2.0_faq/
Quote from: PCI-SIG
Q4: It sounds as if both speed grades are supported in the PCIe 2.0 specification?
A4: The PCIe Base 2.0 specification supports both 2.5GT/s and 5GT/s signaling rates, in order to retain backward compatibility with existing PCIe 1.0 and 1.1 systems. Aside from the faster bit rate, there are a number of improvements in this new specification that allow greater flexibility and reliability in designing PCIe links. For example, the interconnect can be dynamically managed for platform power and performance considerations through software controls. Another significant RAS feature is the inclusion of new controls to allow a PCIe link to continue to function even when some lanes become non-operational.
Q5: Then PCIe 2.0 must be backward compatible with PCIe 1.1 and 1.0?
A5: Yes. The PCIe Base 2.0 specification supports both the 2.5GT/s and 5GT/s signaling technologies. A device designed to the PCIe Base 2.0 specification may support 2.5GT/s, 5GT/s or both. However, a device designed to operate specifically at 5GT/s must also support 2.5GT/s signaling. The PCIe Base specification covers chip-to-chip topologies on the system board. For I/O extensibility across PCIe connectors, the Card Electromechanical (CEM) and ExpressModule™ specifications will also need to be updated, but this work will not impact mechanical compatibility of the slots, cards or modules. Currently, the PCI-SIG is defining the PCIe CEM 2.0 specification which has been released to members for review at v0.5. There are currently no plans to adapt the PCIe Mini CEM specification for the faster bit rate as the market need has not yet materialized.

MSI P4M900M2-L and overclocking

hello,
i have a msi p4m900m2-l and a e2140.
when i want to overclock my processor by move up the fsb, my computer don't want to reboot and i must make a clear cmos to boot up the pc.
any of you have a idea to make my overclocking running well ?
ps:sorry for my bad english

Although this board has some overclocking functionality, it is not possible to tweak enough parameters to overclock the CPU by much. I have found that I can run my E2140 at 1800MHz, but I need to tell it that I have 533 RAM to make it work, or it's clocking the 667 RAM which I have too fast (along with some other components no doubt).
If you read this post, I wonder if you could tell me what value is displayed for 'CPU Temperature' in the BIOS health check screen? My system says that the CPU temp varies between -2 deg C and about 7 deg C so I would be interested to see if they all do that. I have the same motherboard and CPU as you.
