HELP ! CPU question on MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI Motherboard

Hello i've a simple Question : Does A64 3400+ S939 works on this board ?

Hi douglasp,
Things haven't changed since K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI + athlon 64 3400+ ????
There is no AMD64 3400 939 CPU - see AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Model Numbers and Feature Comparison
754 CPu are single channel compatable withK8N Neo Platinum
939 CPu are Dual channel. compatable with K8N Neo4 Platinum
as someone said in previous thread it's probably a misprint.

  • MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI sound needs -5V; newest Antec 550W has no -5V rail

    I came within a whisker of ordering a non-returnable  3700 Venice, MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo and an upgraded Power Supply, Antec's newest 550W PS the TP2-550 EPS12V ($117).  This has dual 2x24pin 12V 19A rails and is touted as the new V2.0 EPS12V/ATX12v compatible power supply for high performance SLI systems.  By accident I came across a page at MSI for this mobo
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=641
    At the end is this warning:  MSI Reminds You...
    • For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply. Also, the users manual which I downloaded on Pg 2-10 says the same thing
    The above Antec PS specs do not  show a -5V rail, nor does an Enermax 600W I looked at.  The V2.0 specs for ATX12v which added 2x24pin 12V rails dropped -5V rail from the spec and it appears MSI is not conforming to the spec (See Antec response at end) None of the web sites selling these PS & mobos contain any warning.  I vaguely recall from a forum a while back it may have something to do with the Soundblaster system in the mobo.
    http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22551 (click specifications)
    Isn't this a major showstopper which is going to cause a lot of grief for those of us upgrading to SLI systems using this mobo and upgrading our PS to the newest & best power design?  We won't know the PS won't work until we build the system.
    Regards, Ron
    Antec reply to me:
    >>>>Thanks for the link. Since MSI's website does state the motherboard needs the -5v, the True550EPS12V will not work with this motherboard. The Standard (http://enhanceusa.com/documents/atx12v_v2.01.pdf) has removed the use for the -5v rail and it is no longer needed. MSI has not manufactured that motherboard to the Standard. Finding an ATX12V v2.0 power supply with the -5v might be hard to find. You should contact MSI for a compatibility list of power supplys that were tested to work with the K8N SLI Platinum.

    Wow!!  syar2003 thanks for that post.  I've spend an hour going through it &  fasteddies links.  Now I are a power expert.  The dual rail argument is enough for me to go back to the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI with one of the single rail PS -5V units listed by fasteddie. The only question left now refers to computerpro3  recommendation on ultra power supplies for SLI 
    >>I quite simply wouldn't dream of putting anything else in my machine. Keep in mind, this section is for 2x 6800 models, not the 6600's which most any good psu will handle (like Antec Neopower, ocz 520, etc). . Pc Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe SLI edition (refer to list)
    2. Zippy/Emacs 550-700w models
    3. OCZ 600w (personally I would get the pcp&c for the price, but it's been proven here, so I'll be fair...). 
    These are really high end, expensive and only 3-4 choices. Since I'm getting one 6800GT and eventually another & possibly eventually a 4800 X2, I was hoping the OCZ 520W would do it but computerpro3 says Powermaster 520 isn't good enough for SLI.  I found that there is an OCZ 600W ATX12 dual rail which surprisingly has a -5V rail needed for K8N Neo4 SLI Soundblaster.  Will this meet computerpro3's preference for a high end PS for SLI systems even though I'm losing the 1 rail advantage.  Maybe the 600 Watts just overwhelms the 1 rail/2 rail question.
    Thanks again for the teriffic help
    Regards, Ron
    Wondering what you settled on.  I got the Antec TP550 and it's flawless on the board.  I even have the older 20pin model which works perfectly (including sound).  If you really wanted what I would consider to be a top dog (pcpower and cooling), and find the -5v rail missing, all you have to do is place a phone order and request they add a -5v rail.  It's a minimal cost and a total solution for having everything.  Just my $0.02

  • Considering this setup (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI)

    Hi
    I am currently considering this setup (or at this is the basics);
    2x Corsair CMX256A 3200LL
    2x Corsair CMX512 3200XL
    OCZ 520W powerstream
    Sapphire Radeon x800xl
    AMD64 Winchester 3500+
    MSI Neo4 Platinum/SLI (or MSI A8N Platinum SLI as it is listed as here in sweden).
    What I would like to know, is if anyone spots any obvious problems spots with the basics of the setup. And if there are any major issues plaguing the MSI board (I am looking at all the major nF4 boards, trying to decide on one). Any input would be greatly appreciated

    jrb, what you need to do is determine whether your motherboard or your RAM is at fault.  Drop the memory divider so your RAM is running at 1/2 the speed of the CPU front side bus, drop the HT multiplier to 3x, drop the CPU multiplier to 6x and then ramp up your front side bus speed.  If the motherboard still cannot go past 215 fsb, then you know the motherboard is the issue and you can look into that.  Have you looked into trying Clockgen like I recommended?  If the motherboard CAN go past 215, (and it should be able to hit about 340 or higher on its own before crapping out), then the issue might be the RAM.
    The trick is to isolate the problem.  But just trying one thing and then speculating that it might be the RAM is a sure fire way to waste money.  The difference between G-Skill PC4400 and Corsair PC4400 is minimal.  Both use Samsung TCCD, but the G-Skill LE is rated at 275 mhz 2.5-3-3-7 1T whereas the Corsair is rated at 275 mhz 2.5-4-4-8 1T.  Is that worth blowing a bunch of money on to replace it?  Probably not.  If you do find that the Corsair is the limiting factor, then go back to the Corsair forums and try and solve your problem.  If your RAM is faulty, then there's no doubt you can return it as it's rated at 275 mhz, so having it unable to go past 215 isn't even close to acceptable.
    Hope this helps,

  • CPU cooler that works with K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard

    I have read that some say the Zalman interferes on this board with the 1, and 2 ram slots, is this true?  I'm using the 3500 Winchester CPU.
    Does someone have a part number if the Zalman is;   a)  the best, and  b) clears properly.
    Also I see everyone talking about Artic Silver 5.  What does the"5" mean?  I have Artic Silver that I have been using for about 2 years, but there iis no designation "5".  Do I need the new stuff?
    Thanks

    I don’t know muck about artic silver, but I have a comment on the cpu-cooler question.
    I recently bought a K8N SLI Platinum, which has an almost identical layout as the Neo4 Platinum. I use a Termalright XP 120 cooler which according to there webpage does not fit on this board. But I didn’t had much problem at all! It is tight with the first ram slot thaw, and with a memory just a few millimetres higher than mine it wouldn’t fit (I use TwinMOS PC3200).
    Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s a similar situation with the Zalman coolers, but I really like to recommend the XP120 (or even XP80) anyway. It keeps my cpu (althorn 3000+) at almost the same temp as the sounding system, during normal use. And since you are free to put any fan you like, you have a very good start making your system really quiet.

  • Will the X-Fi Fatal1ty run on the MSI K8N Neo4 platinum SLI Bo

    Hi there i was just wondering becasue i have heard some things that it wont run together very well and some people say that it works sometimes and then kicks out. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Aaron

    Hi Aaron,
    The problem described in the "X-Fi Problem (rebooting)" thread does not affect the cards that have X-RAM.
    I have a slightly different version of that board at home (MSI K8N SLI Platinum, not Neo4 model) and I'm running an X-Fi Fatalty FPS card on it, with no problems whatsoever.

  • DVD audio connection wire to MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI. Necessary?

    Is it necessary to connect the wire coming out of my Sony DVD to the pin set on the k8N Neo4?
    I seem to be getting sound without it.  I'll have to go to the computer show & pick up one if it's recommended, but somewhere I recall reading it's not needed.
    Regards, Ron

    Hi Ron,
    No believe it's just a legacy device that's not needed with modern mobos.

  • Some questions about MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra

    Hi to all!
    First of all sorry for my bad english  :P
    I have some questions regarding this motherboard that i would like to buy.
    I've red some times ago that nForce 4 chipset had a bug with the HyperTransport (or similar) so all the motherboards with this chipset were post-poned. Now the german MSI site has posted a press-release of the MSI Neo4 saying that mass-volumes distribution will be in mid december.
    I would like to know if some Neo4 were distribuited before nVidia found the bug and (if so) if there's a method to identify the "good" from the "bugged" versions.
    The second question is about the possible heatsink. I would like to install a Zalman CNPS-7700 AlCu (with 12x12 silent fan) but I dunno if the heatsink "dimensions" could create problems to some motherboard component.
    Thanks!

    I've noticed that you can even run at HTT 1100.
    I've tried it and it worked.
    But I didn't notice any Performance increase that can be called a true gain between 900-1100.
    Basically any thing between 900 and 1100 is More than enough.
    actually, HTT 600 is enough.
    @gerasimantos - the A64 4000+ runs at 2.4 GHz by default, so your 2.6 GHz put you somewhere around a 4200+ (don't look it up, it doesn't exist yet  ). so i would say that you have a good OC, as long as everything is stable - prime95, memtest86 etc. try running the your system for a few days with these settings just to see how it performs in day to day work.

  • Considering the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Hello,
        I'm currently deciding whether or not to get the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum, and I just have a few questions.
    1) How beginner friendly is it?
    2) Does it take a lot of work to make it run or can you just plug everything up and the system will run fast and stable?
    3) How stable is this board? I've heard that MSI boards were unstable, so how stable is this specific board?
    4) I know this board is good at gaming, but how about office work like using Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.?
    5) I plan to keep this system for at least four years, will this motherboard give a lot of trouble? And how reliable is it?
    5) Can ya'll share your experiences with MSI?
    Thanks for any help.

    Is the MSI website http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb where MSI names the board as "K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI" incorrect?  It wouldn't be the first time a typographical error occurred.
    If not then the OP may simply have not had enough room to enter a complete description.
    No it is not incorrect, I am staring at the box mine came in.  It says Platinum Edition-K8N Neo4/SLI, there is also a the non platinum version K8N Neo4/SLI and the non-SLI K8N Neo 4
    anyway,

    Maybe I'll get the Platinum SLI edition instead so that I can upgrade later to SLI without having to buy a new card. If I do get the SLI I'll use a single card for now and put in the second card later when it's needed. Does the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI have any problems with running a single video card in non-SLI mode? And I've noticed that the SLI edition doesn't have a x1 PCIe or x4 PCIe slot, is sacraficing these two slots (as well as a regular PCI slot) worth it for SLI capabilities?
    to answer that question, no it does not have problems running a single card in non SLI mode.  It runs like a champ.  I pernonally would not use the extra PCI slots, so to me SLI outweighs scarificing the extra PICe slots.

  • 137+GB Support with MSI K8 Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100) under Windows 2000?

    I have a Western Digital WD2000JD 200GB serial ATA drive that is set as a slave in my system.  I am using Windows 2000 and wondered if my MSI K8 Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100) board supports a drive larger than 137GB on 1 partition without the use of an add-on card .  Formatted it now shows as 127GB...not the 186 or so it should if were recognized as a 200GB.
    I used to have a 200GB EIDE that would show as 137GB+ using a EIDE controller on my old board but I don't really want to have to partition it or use a host card.
    I have read that the board must support 48 bit addressing to overcome this limitation and wondered if this board (MS7100) supported it.
    I really don't want to purchase a Serial ATA host controller to get the full 200GB from the drive on 1 partition in Windows 2000.
    Any ideas?

  • No Post/Black Screen - MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Hello,
    Here is my problem, I bought MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard and got
    - 3500+ cpu
    - CORSAIR XMS 1GB memory
    - PCI-E Leadtek 7800GT video card
    - Aspire 520Watt PSU
    I have put all of it together fine( I have put many systems for friends before) hooked all the power cables, case to mobo stuff, fans. Every time I turn it on fans go on, and lights go on but there is nothing on the screen as if no signal from video card to monitor, plus no error beeps which means cpu and memory is fine right. I have tried to just have memory, video card and nothing else hooked up, same result. I have tried another PSU, same result. Now to add to this, I had same problem with ABIT motherboard and another video card(same) which eliminates bad motherboard and bad video card, since both I have replaced except this time I got MSI mobo and not ABIT. I got same problem with all of it, nothing comes up, no post while fans spin when I turn it on etc... What could be the problem? memory? case? Any ideas?
    Please help me as I spent a lot of $ and time on this and had no signal to monitor so far. Thanks.

    As I said at this point I am trying to boot without any drives plugged in just to get a post and boot up but no go. So basically all my drives are unplugged and I cannot get it to work, I have tried different psu and same problem. I have tried another video card( I RMA this one and got another) it goes and snaps into PCI E slot all good, I have checked that many times. The only thing I can think of is memory at this point but this is brand new XM Corsiar memory and why wouldnt the motherboard beep ( i hoked speaker) if there was any error like that? I just dont get what is going on.
    I have no idea what bios version I have as I have been unable to check it, unless you want me to check the chip version on chipset?

  • Looking at getting MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum, advice please

    I am looking at getting the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum mobo, but have to wait a few weeks to get a new cpu, will I be able to put my AMD Athlon XP 2400+ cpu into it until I get a new cpu or do I need to get a specific cpu for it?
    Any help would be appreciated 

    Well the thing is, before the BIOS upgrade (to V1.5) the ram did run @ 400 (on V1.3). I did the research before buying parts and it all pointed to the board should run 4 @ 400.  But hey not all things are 100% in life lol    see Ram post !

      About PSU I'm a old (41 years old) newbie, and  I had to re-assemble my old computer to work   but I check this before with MSI software and at motherboard bios voltage check and remember that it was ok it is a 600 watts. But I think that even if it is not, I could at minus install the driver and start Windows. I had no possibility to even start Windows.
    If I  install any MSI or Nvidia driver, when loading WindowsXP the screen turns black and at some time after the system reboots and prompts to start in secure mode. So I can't do anything, even starts Windows with this videoboard with right drivers. It only works with "VesaSafe" driver.
