Few issues about MSI P965 Neo F

I have recently put together my C2D system. Details are in my sig. I have a few queries related to the mobo. BIOS is already flashed to v1.5.
1. Are P965 and P965 Neo F 2 different boards? Because their pics, specs etc are the same.
2. My 2 optical drives are connected as master/slave to the IDE port while my HDD is SATA. I cant figure out which mode the optical drives are running in. Current transfer mode shows 'Not Applicable' in Device Manager in Windows Control Panel. During boot, both drives show up in DOS screen. How do I get them both to run in UDMA mode?
3. My DVD writer is running slowly while the combo drive runs well.
4. When I install SMART monitoring utilities, they are unable to retrieve any info from my HDD. Why is this so? SMART is enabled in BIOS. I want to monitor my HDD's temp. through Windows.
5. I have installed CoreCentre. Whenever I run it a warning sounds and CPU Fan speed flashes. Speed is shown around 830-840 rpm. Is this enough? If not how do I increase it? My system is running at default speeds. I havent overclocked at all. Fan monitoring is enabled in BIOS.
6. When RAM timings are set to auto in BIOS, Cpu-Z shows 5-5-5-13 latency. But when I manually set the timings to 4-4-4-12 through BIOS, Cpu-Z shows 4-4-4-20 latency! What is going on?
Kindly advise. Thanks!

But that is exactly the problem. I am unable to set the UDMA mode. All IDE channels in BIOS try to detect the hard disks, when actually no hard disk is connected to IDE. HDD is SATA. Optical drives are connected to the solitary IDE port. I have kept all PIO mode and DMA mode settings to AUTO.
Windows is showing my optical drives to be SCSI devices.
Even Sisoft Sandra is showing my optical drives in SCSI devices tab. Following are the details for my dvd writer :

  • MSI P965 Neo-F + DDRII 800 TwinX (2x512mb) issue

    Hi, ive recently built a new system a couple of days ago and im having a few issues with it... i 'presume' it may have something to do with ram/mobo compatability.
    Heres my system, no oc'ing:
    MSI P965 Neo-F
    1Gb (2X512Mb) Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC6400 (800) @ 5-5-5-18 1.85V (mobo default)
    480W power supply
    The issue seems to be that during boot up the system loads into windows XP then after about 20-30 secs the system will reboot itself for no reason (no event log), then it kinda has a set of mini reboot fits during POST.
    After the system has settled down it will boot into windows XP fine and i have no further issues at all... it runs all my games/apps perfectly.
    Can anyone shed any more light on this issue ?

    first, stop the board from auto-rebooting, by going to Control Panel , System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, uncheck "Automatically restart". See what the bluescreen error code is. That would help a bit.

  • MSI P965 Neo-F mobo and ASUS EAH4850/HTDI 512MB

    Hi I have the MSI P965 neo-f motherboard and I am interested in buying a new graphic card for my computer. But I am concerned about compatibility issues of my motherboard with different graphics cards. Currently I am interested in buying the ASUS EAH4850/HTDI 512MB graphic. Does anybody knows if my motherboard will work with this card? Did someone had any issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    phanosp

    Hi NovJoe,
    Thanks for the reply. As far I can tell the card is backward compatible with PCI-E 1.0. I just wanted to ask if someone has actually used this card with my mobo to make sure that there are no compatibility issues.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    yes i do get the green message about the dvd in green color after the memory check(MSI logo)
    somthing like ODD0 DVD RW
    I will try the second option you recommended,thx alot.
    Hello, welcome to forum. if you are planing to update BIOS:
    get P965 Neo BIOS ver. 1.6 CD Image (have modded boot record and integrate JMB361 Dos drivers.)
    How do i flash it?
    Extract image file from archive, and burn it to CD.(example: open it with nero burning rom and burn image file to CD)
    Make and ensure PC is stable, then reboot PC and boot from CD. you will need to confirm twice BIOS update when asked.
    after BIOS update is complete successfully, power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit few time power button to drain electrify from capacitors, touch some metal with hands to discharge any ES which you may have, then open the case and Clear CMOS then pull back power cord, and turn on your PC, will be notice CMOS CHEKSUM MISMATCH/ERROR, hit F1 to continue to rebuild DMI Pool Data, then reboot your PC, and enter in BIOS and LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, SAVE AND EXIT, go back to BIOS and apply your customs settings.
    if you want to use USB key to flash BIOS, copy AWFL865.EXE & W7235IMS.160 to USB drive, reboot PC and boot from bootable location, (hold "SHIFT" key when starting loading from bootable device to bypass startup files to avoid loading memory managers and other applications) navigate to folder which containt flash program and BIOS file and type from there:
    AWFL865.EXE W7235IMS.160 /cks/sn/py/cc/cd/cp/wb/ld/qi/f/e

  • MSI P965 Neo-F and Voltage

    Hello
    I'm french and i need help about my mainboard:MSI P965 Neo-F!
    On Speed Fan i can see for the V-Core Value :1.42 v...
    But my CPU (Core 2 Duo 6600 @2.40 Ghz) burn so much i want to change the v-core from 1.40 to 1.3V...
    But on the bios (1.10 version of 5 July 2007) i don't see any maner to change the v-core value...
    Can you help me please?
    Thanks

    As we already said, your Board does not have a VCore option in BIOS.  Therefore it is very unlikely that you will be able to change the Core Voltage using software.
    However, you may want to try your luck with one of the following utilitys:
    http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
    http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php#about
    I seriously doubt that they will help you.  I have seen many users asking for ways to change the core voltage on this mainboard in different forums.  Until now I do not remember any positive response to this question.
    When I look at my VCore values @346 MHz FSB with C1E-Support enabled and VCore set to "Auto" in BIOS, I get numbers between 1.144V (IDLE) and 1.24V (LOAD).  I am not sure if there is anything wrong with your CPU and/or board or not, but as long as your core temps stay below 60°C your are on the safe side.
    You may try the following if you want:
    - disconnect main A/C power cable from PSU
    - hit the power-on button a few times to drain capacitors
    - press the Clear CMOS button for 3 seconds
    After that re-connect PSU, start your system, enter BIOS and load optimized defaults.  Go through your BIOS settings and make sure they match your system configuration before your save and exit.
    Check with CPU-Z again and see if there are any changes.

    Thats right, as 10acjed said
    (2x) 1 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM (6-6-6-18 @ 400Mhz) (5-5-5-15 @ 333Mhz) (4-4-4-12 @ 266Mhz )
    I can also choose 800 Mhz like the picture of his, but the adjusted dram frequency differs and 800 will result in like ~999.
    Btw the dram Mhz is on generally on [auto], but that is the same as 800.
    So I set it to 667, So the adjusted dram freq will be around 830.
    that could be your problem right there. Is that when you are running at 300 FSB??
    Try it at 533 and see what happens... If it is at 830 when set to 667 and you try and raise the cpu  higher its also raising the ram higher, probably causing an issue..
    I am still pretty sure you are hitting a wall with that board, its just not a great overclocking board. I am extremely disappointed with my NEO-F as far as overclocking goes. But its been running stable for about 3 years now so its a good board....
    If all else fails run it at 300 - 320 (as high as you can get stable) and put the ram at 667 so it runs around 830, ou will have a nice moderate OC...

  • MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

    Hi, all!
    I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
    I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the  four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
    Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
    I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
    Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

  • MSI P965 Neo board failure ?

    I have the P965 Neo board running perfect for two years, for a few weeks ago the system didn't startup, a long beep sound came from the MB. I opened the case, checked connectors etc. and replaced the memory modules. After that the system runs ok, no problem occurs for almost three weeks.
    For a few days ago, out of the blue,  the system didn't startup: error message: "WARNING Have option ROM can not be invoke (Vendor ID: 10Ech, Device ID:8167h)"
    I reset the system and it passes the POST, the WINDOWS XP splash screen shows up but after a few seconds the blue progress bar stops.
    I reset the system again and now the WINDOWS XP splash screen stays fade out, no progress bar
    I reset the system several times, after a few times the system normally boots up and is ok.
    I tested the HD with Speedfan Smart utility and it is found ok.  Also no virus etc is found. I checked the device manager, no driver problems.
    Yesterday the system had the same problems (XP boot blue progress bar stops, sometimes the progress is very slow) but after a few restarts the system boots normal and is ok.
    Tonight, after I had opened the case to measure the voltages, I startup the system but no problem occurs. The 12V and 5V are ok
    I think I have a hardware problem but I'm doubt what hardware (MB,RAM,PSU,processor) causing this kind of problems.
    Can you help me ?
    thanks,

    Clear CMOS and try booting the system again.
    Was the system like this from Day 1 or this only happens after something has been done?
    Thks NovJoe ....
    The system had run without any problem for more than 2 years.
    I presume I have a connection problem on the MOBO or other hardware. If I place the PC case in the cabinet under my desk, the problem occurs. If I have the PC on the floor there is not any problem. It also happens only when the PC is cold.
    I asked my hardware supplier, he suggested to test the hardware with a special self booting hardware test CD. It will cost 40 euro. I searched for such a CD on internet but didn't find one special for MSI boards. Do you know where I can get such a CD ?

  • MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

    Hi,
    I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.
    When i reboot or reset, it shuts down the operating system/BIOS, after that the PC stays on but my screen stays black.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thank you,
    ghostrider090

    I dont know solution ...   
    i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
    i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
    after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
    with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
    so and here is one similiar problem

  • Best Ram for MSI P965 Neo-F

    Hi
    I've a MSI P965 Neo-F and i want to know what is the best DDR 2 Memory for this motherboard(G-Skill,Crucial or OCZ?).
    Actually i' ve Corsair DDR 2 667 Mhz Value Select.
    Thanks^^

    Quote from: stixen on 31-January-08, 22:12:39
    Actually Corsair does'nt work good with my PC(no boot sometimes) so i don't want Corsair...
    I'm not saying buy Corsair, I am telling you to buy WINTEC AMPO  240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM 800. I have read all the horror stories about different ram and the Neo f. I installed 2gb [2x 1 gb] when i made the computer a couple years ago and just added the same thing 1 week ago and never a single problem. It still only reads as 3.25gb but that has been explained. Fast and stable memory with this board is hard to find, so trust me and buy this ram . it worked perfect for me so I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

  • MSI P965 NEO-F and power supplys

    Hello, I just bought the MSI P965 NEO-F and Cooler Master iGreen 500W but when, after I unpacked it all and was about to start building, I discovered that in the manual, under the power supply tab, it says that this moderboard requires a power supply that comes with a -5V pin supply. I didn't see that when I looked in the online manual.
     However, when I looked in the PSU manual I saw that there should be a -5V pin in pinnr. 20 on the ATX connector. So I was relieved. But when I looked at the ATX connector there was an empty hole where pinnr. 20 were supposed to be.  Does that mean that I can't use the power supply with this moderboard?

    hmm...you could replace your brand new PSU with another PSU? i don't know in your country, but here, we're allowed to replace bought items (no refund though, just replace) to another item of equal or higher value (but add money for higher value, of course )
    i'm using the Hec Winpower 550W PSU on that same motherboard, and is working fine for me.
    otherwise, you could go to your local PC store and have them plug everything for you? (here it costs around US $6 to ask someone to assemble everything)

  • MSI P965 Neo-F and a other problem!

    Hi alls!
    I have a problem with my MSI P965 Neo-F.In fact when i push the power button i have to wait 5-6 secondes for my pc turn on...
    I have the same problem that Er.nest:https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107722.0 (problem number 5)
    My PSU is a Seasonic S12 II 500 W
    My config is :
    Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 2.40Ghz
    2 Gb RAM DDR 667 Mhz Corsair(5-5-5-15 @1.85V)
    ATI HD 2900 XT 512 Mb
    HD Seagate 320 Gb
    Thanks...

    ok v1.10 .. so we have same version now.. (maybe it will help us to find somthing helpful)
    So (i dont know if you know somthing about..let me to refresh about S3).. S3 is one of two most used sleep modes. S3 (STR) - Save to RAM. It save whole your session to RAM, clear the CPU registrers and turn of all devices in computer one by one... only matherboard is powered by minumal voltage of 5V. This is used to refreshing o RAM and keep content "inside". In this state is consuption of computer avg. 4-6W (...PSU).  Ok, my problem is ...
    When i want to wake my computer up (a do it by pushin power button) ... somthing (and i dont know which part of my machine).. cause frozen of whole machine. Sometimes i get Windows Vista login window (loggin button fully response to mouse move over), if i want to login windows fall into BSOD or all freeze... somtimes i get only black screen.
    So .. it seems to be little bit different problem but we both have problems with some kind of turning on...please, try to describe more about your problem. Espesialy informations about other behavior...
    for example ... if you using hybernation (possibly S3), if you turning your computer normal by windows option "turn off", if your problems dissapear when you discharge mobo from static charge (disconect power cord, and push power button), if you have other problem with restarts...
    i have same problem like you before i come to v1.9 and higher ... so, maybe its only in some setting i made insensible

  • MSI P965 Neo-F

    Hi 2 everyone! I just bought a MSI P965 Neo-F mobo. I intend to combine it w/E6400, an Albatron 7600GT and PC-6400 memory. I have read several posts in this forum but i still have queries about memory compatibility:
    1)What is the highest memory voltage this mobo can supply?

    Thank u in advance!

    Weird thing with the 1.5 BIOS, really: No matter what the speeds are set to, the last memory timing (forgot its name) is always set like this:
    BIOS setting (by me) - actual setting (in Windows read out by software)
    4-4-4-12 - 4-4-4-20
    5-5-5-15 - 5-5-5-23
    4-4-4-4  - 4-4-4-12
    etc...
    What is going on here? I set the memory to 4-4-4-4 now @ 375MHz (750), because those are its rated specs. And it runs in Windows as 4-4-4-12 @ 750MHz.
    The system now runs @ these speeds:
    E6300 @ 300MHz (2.1GHz)
    FSB @ 301MHz
    RAM divider: 667MHz
    Effective RAM Speed: 750MHz
    Tmings: 4-4-4-12
    Really, what a weird problem. But since there are no other problems with 1.5 (that I came across so far), I'll keep it. My sister is loving her new PC, and if the mobo doesnt brake within the next 5 years, everything is perfect.

  • MSI P965 NEO - power OFF - PS2, USB... still under power!

    Hi all, I just changed to the MSI P965 NEO, when I power off, all peripherals (PS2, USB...) are still under power  
    It makes me upset! User manual didn´t help me at all.
    Is it possible to set it up?
    Thx!

    What I see - there are no other jumpers;) on mobo (ex. clear cmos)
    I use also only 20pin power connector...
    So, is it the end of my wishes to have dead pc after turning off... ?
    Maybe someone who knows some electronics could build u some device.
    I have one bit similar kind, but it uses power from PSU to determine if PC is on or off, to start/stop my water pump (watercooling). It has medium sized condensator to keep power running in case of fast coldboot (shutdown and instant startup).
    But I dunno who it would then turn power back on when you want to start the PC. One possibility is that you buy remote controlled AC on/off switch, so you can use remote control to turn on/turn off power from your PC, so after PC has shutdown you cut the power. But it will introduce one excess button to push everytime. :S
    Also ductaping remote to your monitor will ensure you wont lose it :D
    But it is not much your PC will use power when shutdown. Maximum for USB device to consume is 0.5 watts. So with mouse and KB (and mobo) you will propably consume like 1-2 watts/hour. While your VCR or DVD player will consume like 5 to 40 watts when they are in off-mode showing the clock.
    Lets assume 1kW of electricity costs like 0.5 euro. With max usage 2w it makes 48 watts/day (if your computer would be shutdown whole day). Keeping it shutdown whole year you would use 17.5kW of power for nothing. Which then would cost you like ~8 euros.
    Now if you want to actually save money your solution should be really cheap. Also this calculation is kind of "worst case scenario" I would quess the PC wont use even 1 watts when its shutdown. 
    For about 2 to 8 euros / year, I wouldnt bother to do much.
    Maybe you should try to find some hobbyiest electronics forums and ask if they knew some kind of automatic solution to this. Or just use "jail remote control" and glue/tape some extender stick to your PSU on/off switch to be able to use it from sitting position and not to kneel to find it. :P

  • MSI P965 Neo-F Sata Ports Enhanced Mode

    Hi,
        I have the MSI P965 Neo-F board, and need to setup the sata ports to AHCI or enhanced mode, but don't see this options as in previous MSI boards.
        Some boards from anther's builders using the same chipset (ICH8) have these options.
        Any Idea how to set this options ? any beta bios ?
    Thanks !!!

    ICH8 has no RAID so P965 Neo only does RAID through the 3rd party JMicron controler.
    Same problem here. It is not just about RAID but AHCI, for NCQ, but more importantly for ESATA hotplug.
    2 years later still no BIOS it seems (I have most recent 1.11).  MSI still advertises with "enhanced AHCI" for this board even, (see bullet list under Intel® ICH8 Chipset):
