Have you sucessfully overclocked you K8N Neo FSR? Plz post details.

Hi guys !
Im still stuck with my system that does NOT want to be overclocked so I wanted to know if I'm the only one or not ?
If you have managed to overclocked you system using K8N Neo FSR please post you details.
And I'm also looking for tips on how to bypass issues related to unsucessful overclocking.
Thank You.
I've managed to do this so far...
A64 3200+ NewCastle CG-stepping @ 210x11 vCore 1.55
Corsair Value Select DDR 400 @ 3-3-3-8-2T VDimm 2.70
using official BIOS version 1.4
But that's it...
If I increase vDimm above 2.75 = NoBoot/Unsucessful Windows Login
If I increase FSB above 210 = NoBoot/Unsucessful Windows Login
If I set FSB 230x10 = NoBoot/Unsucessful Windows Login
If I set timings to higher values e.g. 3-5-5-10 = NoBoot/Unsucessful Windows Login

Gen,
I found a few interesting things last night.  1st, I was having a problem with my CPU and Northbridge fans throttling down to about 1/3 speed after a few minutes of use.  I disabled the Northbridge and CPU target fan settings in BIOS.  You can find these options in the System Health menu of your BIOS.  Also, if you have enabled the "Optimized" option in your BIOS, please disable it and set to "manual".  The only option I've found to help is to select "Aggessive" timings for your memory.  It doesn't change your speed in the BIOS for some reason, but it does do something else because my memory bandwidth is about 60 more with this setting enabled instead of disabled (3430 Int / 3430 Float in Sandra 04 versus 3493 / 3496 with the setting enabled.  OF ALL THINGS MAKE SURE TO DISABLE THE "OPTIMIZED" function and leave it set at manual.  Also, shoot me your current memory timings one more time.  Are you using BIOS rev. 1.4?  Let me know.  Sorry it takes so long between posts, but I check from both work and home and it's usually several hours between getting chances to check for updated posts.  I didn't have to reduce the HT setting on my overclock (I'm still running 4X), but I've read several posts where a setting of 3X will help if you're having problems o/cing.  Also, on your memory timings make sure and set your DRAM to FSB ratio at Auto.  This allows the memory to sync with your FSB speed.  And, I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but be sure to set your AGP speed to 67 (66 is the default).  At a setting at 67 it will positively lock your PCI and AGP clocks to 67 and 33 respectively, making sure that you aren't overstressing any of your PCI devices or you video card.

  • K8N NEO-FSR No Post

    I just bought a new K8N NEO-FSR to replace another MSI motherboard that I have been having trouble with and need to RMA.  I have it on the bench, with a AMD Sempron 3300+ processor, 1 stick of Kingston memory 512mb 266mhz DDR, Nvidia Geforce 2 mx/mx 400 graphics card and Silencer 410 ATX PS.
    >I just modified the LED lights below to make correct<
    My problem is it will power up and stay powered up but won't post.  I have no beeps.  The LED will flash:
    1st--number 3 green,
    2nd--3 stays green with number 4
    3rd--3 stays green with number 2
    4th--Starts all over with same above
    Then it just repeats, repeats, repeats the above unless I turn it off???
    I have reseated everything several times.  What's going on?  Since 4 and 2 are last to green up before repeat, does that mean the Bios is bad on this board?

    Have you tried to changed other PSU? Seems like you've a weak PSU. IF you can borrowed a PSU from your friends or purchase it like OCZ, enermax or tagan.
    PSU shouldn't be a problem here, since it's not a power hungry system.
    check the post from built2last and identify at which stage the d-bracket stops. than you will have to check that code in the manual and tell us what it is.

  • Weird problem with k8n neo fsr

    hello!
    i have weird problem with my K8N Neo-fsr and Athlon 64 2800+ socket 754, when i try to overclock i change in bios HT from 4 to 3 (for better stability), after restart nothing happen, my pc wont boot, also nothing on screen, so i must clear cmos for solve my problem and set to 4   i try several bioses from official to moded also pinochio`s and syar`s moded and allways the same issue    is it problem with processor? or motherboard?   
    thanx for your help and sorry for my english 

    You should first get down cpu ratio, then get up cpu fsb and as you wanted set ht frequency from 4 to 3 and "save changes and exit" if it doesn't boot change you psu (at least antec 380 or tagan) or go fast to send back your mobo to reseller!! 

  • 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.

    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.

  • S3 mode doesn't work fine on K8N Neo-fsr since overclocking, please help!

    I have a K8N Neo-FSR (MS-7030) BIOS version 1.6 (I tried 1.4, 1.5), running AMD64 2800+ SK 754, 2x 256MB DDR400 Kingston valueram pluging in slot 1&2. It runs well except S3 mode    .
    Since I overclock HTT (everythings else have their own default values), S3 mode seems to work so crazy . After wake up from this usefull stop-grant standby mode, HTT is given back to its original speed, 200MHz, without notice (?!)  .
    You know that I don;t like this much, do you? 
    Who responsible for this function? Mainboard or CPU? If it's mainboard, which department will be sentenced, BIOS or chipsets/ICs? 
    Could anybody give me a solution to achive higher speed by overclocking without giving up using S3? 
    Thanks so much!

    It's a bad new! I had bad feeling about DFI with the same problem, S3 mode resuming bring FSB back to df and even sometimes led the system to the ruin. But upgrading bios solved this issue. My old Abit did S3 mode fine. Now I have a new MSI and once again I must use teknophyle's way or slow hibernation instead.
    On the same occasion, I wana ask about some shortcoming in 1.6 bios: power on by keyboard/mouse and power led options. I only found S3 wake up by keyboard/mouse but not keyboard/mouse power-on options! There is power led option in version 1.56 but it disapeared in 1.6. Now my mobo has no signal to differentiate between sleep and power-off. would you give back the useful power led option and add power on by combination keys in the near future bios version, syar? Look forward to hearing some good new from you :D.

  • K8N Neo FSR Bios overclocking functions help needed

    Hi all, I am a small pc builder for the family and i have found some problems with the bios of my uncles K8N neo FSR which I recommended for him. Basically it wouldn't seem to overclock with the 'Dynamic Overclocking' function on bios v1.7 but did manually by adjusting FSB incrementally (ie from 200 to 205 Mhz). When I questioned this before someone had mentioned that it could be ok to run like this. However I have since updated the bios to v1.9 and even v2.1 as they became available but now neither seem to overclock manually nor using 'Dynamic overclocking' 
    Firstly though, can someone clear up my first conception; To test if the Dynamic Overclocking function is working can I set it to a higher setting (ie.'Commander'), save and exit bios (restarting) ---> go straight back into bios ----> go straight back into Cell Menu and check 'Current frequency of cpu' has changed?
    I only ask this as if this is the case then my Dynamic Overclocking function hasn't worked with three bios' and I wont bother with anything until I RMA the board lol, as I have never been able to change the frequency of my cpu at boot/bios stage with the dynamic overclocking function.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Stu, yesterday I think i found out what u mean lol. I studied a 'Sticky' ? about overclocking A64s and found some interesting stuff. Apparently overclocking the HTT is dangerous, and A64s are always at least half locked. Now with this in mind Ive been wondering if there are interlocks built into my mainboard stopping me from using the 'CPU Overclock' function to overclock my pc manually from the set 200Mhz while my HTT is still set at 4x. -I say this as the HTT on my system is 800Mhz for a socket754 Sempron 3000Bx, thus overclocking this would increase my HTT above the 800Mhz threashold (I think) lol. All sounds complex but I think Ive figured it out as Im following instructions from the sticky to lower my HTT multiplier before increasing my cpu overclock. Its hard as my mainboard has Nforce3 chipset which has different ways of overclocking to every other board lol. So far I have managed to increase the overclock, but only when the HTT multiplier is lowered to 3x. I have also lowered my cpu multiplier though, and thus am trying to figure out where my 1810Mhz clock speed has changed to 1630 lol. Will try again now. I want to raise the clock speed above 1810, keeping the HTT lower than 800 and leaving the memory alone at 400DDR lol. Im hoping the memory is seperate as it seems to be on this chipset.

    Tjena Rikard! You have to describe your system in some detail.
    Some famous culprits:
    - Other PCI-cards.
    - Poor or old Windows installation.
    - Weak PSU.
    - IRQ problem.
    - A combination of all or any of above.
    The network card is not a PCI-one, but integrated to the motherboard. Only card in the system is a PCI-E graphic.
    Maybe poor or old windows, might try that...
    Shouldn't be weak PSU, It's pretty good, I've been told.
    IRQ?

  • K8N Neo-FSR ~= K8N Neo Platinum

  • 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 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 ...

  • K8N Neo-FSR internet problem

    I upgraded my old system to AMD 64 2800+, 1 GB RAM, and MSI K8N Neo-FSR. After that i reinstalled Windows XP. Everything's fine except that internet works terrible now with the onboard LAN. I'm using a DSL connection, and when i connect to the internet, everything works good for a few seconds, then upload and download speed goes to 0! After some time download speed comes back to that i had with my old system, but download stays at 0-1 KB/s. Sometimes I only get constant timeouts. I tried everything - updated BIOS, nVidia Ethernet drivers, tried different settings in Device manager, but nothing helps. I even bought a new PCI Ethernet card and tried connecting my modem to it and disabling the onboard LAN in BIOS, but even then everything's the same. Please help!

    if the same problem goes for both addon and onboard ethernet then its not the motherboard as fault.
    have you changed anything on the network settings ?
    for me it works best with xp default settings.
    changed cable ?
    1 guy reported that cable number 10 worked but not the 9 previous.
    is the dsl modem connected as it should and working ?
    do you have a "web server" in the modem so you can check the connection on ?

  • 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
