Help with Fan Speed/Temperature Monitoring - 875P Neo Series 2.0

Hi
My mobo manual doesn't explain the monitoring facilities available on this board and I would like confirmation of the following:
My P4 Northwood CPU Fan as supplied with P4 is connected to CFAN1 and provides monitoring of temperature and fan speed and also permits fan speed control.
My Northbridge Fan as supplied with mobo is connected to NBFAN1 and provides monitoring and control of fan speed. No temperature monitoring available.
My mobo provides monitoring of system temperature but doesn't say how this is measured and at what location.
There are two other 3-pin fan headers on the mobo; one is labelled SFAN1 with Gnd, +12V and the third pin NC and the other is labelled PFAN1 with Gnd, +12V and Sensor pins.
My new Antec 500W SmartPower 2.0 PSU has a monitoring cable that is wired with a black Gnd wire and a blue Sensor wire and, according to the Antec manual, is supposed to provide fan speed monitoring if connected to PFAN1 - I have tried this and get no information showing in either SpeedFan or Sandra. ???
My new Case fan, an Antec SmartCool, also has a monitoring cable but only has the third pin wired, presumably a sensor wire, and presumably could also be attached to PFAN1 instead of the PSU signal connector to provide fan speed monitoring. ??? Obviously I cannot connect both the PSU and Case Fan sensor cables to the mobo because the SFAN1 connection has no sensor pin connected; I presume this one is just a power supply to a fan as an alternative to using a supply line direct from the PSU.
Can anyone advise me on the correct use of the PFAN1 and SFAN1 connectors and what they are capable of.

- System temperature is measured at the Winbond W83627HF sensor chip located in front of your PCI slots.
- PFAN1 does indeed monitor PSU fan speed if the PSU has a fan speed reporting header. Not supported by some monitoring software (if Speedfan can't detect it, it doesn't support it. At least not until Alfredo's next revision).
- SFAN1 provides power only, no monitoring.
- Try a different monitoring software and see if it can detect the sensor monitoring your PFAN1. There are other monitoring software out there you can try, such as the CoreCenter that came with your motherboard, or Motherboard Monitor 5 or PCWizard (though you cannot adjust fan RPM through those programs).

Are my fan speed/temperature normal? Please answer quickly, warranty is expiring!

I have an MSI GF4 TI4200-8X.
I had some problems with my computer, when playing certaing games it freezes after a while, with reboot needed. I think I got down to my graphics card overheating. While using 3D turbo experience, I found out my fan speed was about 2700-2900 RPM (I think it is the minimum!!!) and my temperatures where around 52-55 idle. Today I noticed my fan slowed down, and it wasn't even showing fan activity, I tried pushing the fan a bit and it stopped completely. It has restarted again, with fan speed around 1700, after leaving the computer running for a while it got back to 2700 with slight variations to 2600 +-. The temperature went up to 58º!!! But I think it's "stable" now at 53º. What I'd like to know is if these values are normal for my graphics card. I couldn't find much information about this in this forum, one or two messages mencioned fan speeds around 3900-4000. As my board is still covered by warranty I'd like to know if I have reasons to send it back. So.......do I?

What does usually happen there when you have a graphics card under warranty, and it has a problem, you send it back right? And in the meanwhile? They give you a replacement until the other one comes back from repair (or even exchanged by a new one) ? I don't really know how these things work in these situations..
Like I said you will be without a card for a while. It could take weeks or posibly a month or more. It is not like a car. Contact the reseller to see if you still have a return possibilty with them, otherwise, you have to go to MSI for an RMA request.
An aftermarket cooler can be found at an online retailer or even at a Consumer Electronics SuperStore but I do not know what you have in your country. Thermaltake http://www.thermaltake.com/ has good products, perhaps you have a reseller in your area that sell their products.

Fan speed & temperature

hello guys...
After 8 months before buying my geforce4ti4800se videogard, I began to notice some changes to fan speed & temperature while checking 3d turbo experience...
first of all, when I bough the card (winter season) I cant remember the fan speed but the card's internal temperature was about 39ºc while not playing and 45 ºc playing games... external temperature was around 15 - 20 ºc...
Now , card's temperature stays around 56ºC (without playing games) and jumps to 58 - 59ºc after playing games... Local temperature (32ºC) ...
I cant remember the fan speed at winter but now Im getting a blink message on the driver and the fan speed stays at 3300 rpm....
The increase of the temperature is related to a fan slowdown..? If YES, how can I fix the fan to get more speed? (Its not a source problem)....
Is 58ºC ok for the card or should I get worried about it ?
Help me please!! Thanks a lot,

Without full system specs in your sig line, it's very hard to help. Minimal information gets minimal help. Some people here won't even bother to answer w/o the info, and I can't say that I blame them, especially when the instructions are at the top of the forum.
To me, w/o any other info, it sounds like you have a case ventilation problem.

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor with webcam problem.

Need help with a Asus 27" monitor I bought. Model VK278Q. The issue is that the webcam will not work properly. Various applications can see the webcam, but I just get a black box. From what I have read, the issue seems to be that there are no official drivers for the webcam.
I thought someone in this community might be able to offer some help before I return the monitor. I read somewhere that it may be possible to tweat the OS so that the iSight software will work for the monitor webcam.
Thx

Eureka! You now understand the situation.
Even the old standard for Mac OS X drivers for non-compatible cams, macam, says that it has no driver for ASUS (20") monitor camera.
The macam status shows:
not working (no documentation)
With no working driver for the 20" ASUS, it is not surprising that there is none for the 27" either. There may be good reason that ASUS won't (or can't) offer either the technical documentation or a Mac driver for their monitor's inbuilt webcam. However, they apparently do not publish that information.
If ASUS Technical Support cannot provide the driver you need for OS X, the ASUS will continue to be a ridonculous (sic) monitor whose webcam will not work with your OS X Mac. The only other simple fix I can think of is to use the ASUS with a different PC that is compatible with this monitor and its inbuilt webcam. What you do is certainly your choice.

IMac 27, i5/i7 - Fan speed / temperatures during gaming?

Hi all!
This is my first post in this forum. I have searched a lot in the internet, but I have not found any reliable information on this topic.
I currently have a MBP (see signature) and I am really happy with it. However, each time I am playing a game (just casually), the fans accelerate to 6200 rpm within a few minutes which is really annoying (= very loud, high frequency noise). Typical games are Sims3 as well as the Steam games TF2, Portal, and Torchlight. Furthermore, I am playing games like Black&White2, Bioshock or Chess using Parallels 5/Win XP.
I am now looking for an additional desktop computer - and I am loving the idea of buying an iMac i5. However, I would really hate to hear this loud fan noise again... (the alternative would be a Dell XPS 7100, but I really love OS X after 20+ years using Windows).
Thus, I am looking for reliable data (fans rpm, cpu/gpu temperature) during gaming (under steam os x, parallels, and boot camp). Also any experience on long-term reliability of iMacs used for gaming is appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S.: Hope my english is not too bad, since I am not a native speaker...

It's a simple match - the more power your computer uses, the hotter it gets, and the faster and louder the fans. The graphics card and CPU are the most power-hungry parts, and are used at a high percentage during gaming.
That said, my current iMac is the i5 (27", 4850) and it doesn't spin up the fans at all playing Torchlight at full native resolution. It does start whirring a little playing Bioshock/Portal/HL2, but not so loudly - the fan speeds go from 1100 (normal, nearly silent) to 1450 or so.
Temperatures I've not followed - but they don't actually matter, just the noise that is made to keep them under control.
In Boot Camp, much the same - although I don't have a fan-speed monitor for Windows, again HL2 would just slightly speed up the fans.
But! I would suggest waiting a short while, it's 10 months since the iMac range was last refreshed so it could be just about time for them to be updated.
ps Your english is perfect, I would never have guessed you were not a native speaker.

Problem with fan speed on FM2-A75-P33

I have a problem with setting a lower cpu fan speed on my motherboard (Win7 64).
It always runs on high speed, and I can not decrease it. When I set values for min speed in ClickBios II (or manually in Bios before booting) to 0%, and desired temperature on some higher amount (60C), nothing happens. It always run on same high rpm, regardless any change of values. What can I do? Same thing with sys fan.
Live Bios says that I have latest version of BIOS and drivers.
thanks

That is odd. Only thing I can think of is maybe a conflict in settings between Click Bios and actual BIOS. One of the reasons I never use those programs. I'm not sure what to tell you, except that the fan speed settings on my board have all worked properly using standard BIOS settings.
If I was having issues I'd uninstall click BIOS and see if the issue continues. At least then you would know it's something else.

[875P Neo Series] 875P NEO FIS2R - Bootup delay with disk attached to Promise RAID

Hi,
I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R mobo. I just added a 400GB SATA RAID-0 array to the Promise controller and now I get a 50 second bootup delay after the BIOS has run through everything and beeped and before the first WinXP splash screen.
I boot up from a 160GB SATA RAID-0 array on the intel ICH5R controller. Both arrays work fine from within Windows. I have two DVD drives on the ICH5R PATA connection but nothing else on the Promise.
If I disable the Promise controller in BIOS the delay goes away.
I have tried disabling SMART, turning off the quick-boot option with no effect.
When I first installed my system I tested performance with booting from a single SATA drive on ICH5R vs Promise and I noticed the same issue, but didn't care then because I only needed one disk so I just kept Promise disabled in BIOS.
Any ideas how I can get around this?
Regards,
Jonathan

Sorry I have been a away for a few days.
Details requested...

If the Promise controller was out of the picture (Disabled), and you have the SCSI adaptor and its devices setup:
1. What is the adaptor's SCSI ID?
7
Quote
2. List devices, position in the chain and their corresponding SCSI ID's.
#7 Adaptec 2930CU card
#4 Nikon Coolscan LS30 scanner
#3 Umax Astra 1220S scanner
#5 Iomega ZIP 100 drive
Quote
3. What type of terminination are you using?
Adaptec card has auto-termination.
ZIP drive has a termination connector attached.
Quote
4. Are the devices in the chain functioning properly?
Yes.

I agree that your problem is your SCSI controller. There may not be anything actually wrong with it. The 2930 was an agressive controller card and its BIOS simply may not coexist with your motherboard's BIOS optimally. Even with the BIOS disabled, it may be competing with the motherboard's request for handlers.
You may want to check to see if there is a BIOS update on Adaptec's website. Adaptec usually released 1 or 2 updates for each SCSI generation they produced. It may or may not help but we need to make sure you have the latest BIOS released.
Unfortunately, this card cannot be reflashed.
Quote
At any rate, I think you have found the component which is responsible for the delay. I'm willing to assist in diagnosing the issue but I need you to provide the specific information I'm requesting.
Also, try to do a CTRL-Pause to catch exactly what the BIOS version is and any other information which is showing up with the BIOS disabled. The SCSI adaptor BIOS, in fact, should not be enabled in your SCSI configuration as you have described thus far.
Adaptec AHA 2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1.
There seems to be a difference between BIOS and host adapter BIOS. You always get the BIOS screen, but you can disable the host adapter BIOS if it is not required.
I am pretty sure it is not the SCSI chain that is wonr because the pause happens with nothing connected to the card.

Cpu fan speed pb on 848P NEO LS

i've just buy a 848p neo ls motherboard with a P4 2.8.
My cpu fan runs at 2800 rpm and there is no way to adjust the speed. corecenter fan speed control doesn't want to respond.
i can adjust cpu voltage and the different alarm but the fan control menu doesn"t want to open :/
i've done all the necessary update (bios, chipset ect.) with no results.
i've tried 2 different fan (intel box original) with the same result : more than 60°C when i try to play counter strike for exemple
What should i do to obtain a regular fan speed ???
Thx for a quick answer and sry for my bad english

There is no link between the graphics card fan and the CPU fan, what VGA card are you using now?
Did you o/c your system? Do a thorough clean up of corecenter from your add/remove program, delete all files related to it and re-download the software through livemonitor3 and freshly install the software.
Btw, do you have any other apps that's running in the Task Bar for detecting temps or anything similar to that?

[875P Neo Series] trouble shooting assistance

thanks in advance...
weez

i would not even try to power up the sys untill the psu is in place,if the cpu failed and needs a warranty replacement i dont think you will get any fuss out of intel,BUT you may have other problems looming that may appear at some time or another,lack of AMPERAGE {not voltage} can have a very NEGATIVE affect on the sys as a whole,if it is a mobo failure you should be ok with that also,it just takes a long time during a RMA process since it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete each,mark it up to a learning experence,the PSU {imo} IS the most important piece of hardware that you or anyone will purchase for a computer !

does anyone use the dlink lights at all...and is it a reliable troubleshooting tool
,i donot use it but many here do and find it very usefull. also look here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=34535.0;all
also the battery can have a bad contact which can cause a no post,also the psu connector pins can become dislodged and push back and cause arching {because of current jumping} that can be harmfull to the pins and sockets.
hope this helps!

the mobo went unstable and started hanging when playing 3D aplications like medal of honour, wolfenstein ET and others...
then the hangs started occuring more rapidly, and now the pc starts VERY randomly
i often have to try to start it 10-15 times before it starts....
the chipset and cpu fan starts, the hd drives starts and the ROM starts, but no signal to vga card.
i have tried to reset chmos, changed vga card, stripped the pc, but nothing works..
and: it has worked for over 7 months without any probs...
is it possible a virus did this ??
can anybody help ???
please ???

350 watts is far to low for your system............
Min AMPS on +12V rail for your system should 24AMPS
Q-Tec do not have good rep and have caused at lot of problems
Try a brand name 450+Watt PSU Enermax or Antec or Hiper series (These I have personally tested)

PATA Keep enabled : Yes
That's how I set up my old 875P without trouble when I installed a pair of drives in RAID 0. In your sig I don't see two drives, so I'm not sure what else to provide. (whether you are building a new comp or upgrading to RAID 0 etc)
For further reference, have a look at Vango's guide to RAID setup here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=38845.0

I want it to be capable to gaming, surfing, some small video editing of Family vids and tv recording once or twice a week ( history channel) and just be a all around very capable computer. Im thinking of going to a 3.2 extreme 478 pin, 2Gb (2dimms) of RAM, add 2 more hard drives probably 250's and a all in wonder xt800 card AGp of course b/c of mother Board. All this will equal to about 900-1000$. Should I put this into this mother board??? I believe everything will work and I can latter switch to a pci compatible board and new processor the transfer everything else over.Will take any info you guys want to dish out. Todd

Two generations? I thought its last generation, I mean the S775 9xx boards are the latest generation, right?
I think he might be right about the Two generations thing.
Next Gen = 975X (Can't Wait!!! )
Current Gen = 945 & 955 (These mobos support Dual Core)
Last Gen = 915 & 925 (True DDR2 came into play w/ these mobos)
Two Gen = 865 & 875 (These boards support DDR400 & 8X AGP + SATA)

BIOS 1.8 for 875P NEO Series

Just curious if anyone has downloaded and successfully flashed their 875P NEO boards to the current BIOS version of 1.8. If so, is your system stable?
Is another BIOS update just around the corner for the 875P or is the 1.8 the latest and greatest BIOS update?
Thanks for any info,

Quote
... what did they correct in the 1.93 Beta?
As advised:
875P Neo MS-6758 BIOS V1.9 Beta 3 (1.93) dated 2003/10/02
This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- update microcodes,
- modify HT support,
- Prescott support,
- fixed ICH5 SATA HDD incompatibilities issue,
- remove chinese language support
The promised DOT option still isn't available in BIOS setup!
Note some of the changes from the previous 1.82 Beta were not put in the 1.80 Release ... so which new fixes go in the final release (and when) is still uncertain.
