Help with K8M / K8T Neo-V

Please help me!!
I have a Kingston DDR-400 MHz 512MB module, but the BIOS shows only 200 MHz. I tried to change the configurations but only have from 100 MHz to 250 Mhz, normally system have 266, 333 or 400 MHz. I downloaded and flash my BIOS to lastest version, but don't work. Thanks.

You could check Kingstons site or e-mail them a question about it. Google is your freind. However that said practically all memory sticks today are dual bank sticks so it is likely they are as well.
If however you are asking about x2 speed? Well that is what DDR means. Double Data Rate. That reads the front and back side of the clock pulse so a memory clock of 200 gives tou DDR400 as it reads both sides of each pulse.
Run Sisoft Sandra and get a memory Bandwidth. DDR400 also means PC 3200 or a theoretical speed limit of 3200MBP As you will never really reach the theoritcal limits you should get 2400-2800MBPS

Need help with my K8T Neo 2, SATA question

Hi everyone.
Im trying to install a new 500 GB Maxtor SATA drive on my motherboard.
The problem is that Windows Setup is not recognizing my SATA drive. I hit F6 during setup, then S, and I select the Win XP VIA SATA Controller from the floppy I made using the files that came with the CD-ROM from my motherboard. I then go on with the setup, but windows says that no drive could be detected. Ive searched for a fix for hours on the board. I have read references about the VIA Controller and the Promis Controller. From what I understand, there are two seperate connectors for these SATA controllers?
When I look at my motherboard I see two SATA connectors. One on top and one right under it. Are these connectors BOTH part of the VIA controller? And if so, does it matter which one I connect the data cable too?
Or are these connectors different from each other?
Ive also enabled the On-chip SATA IDE Controller in the bios, and I disabled the On-Chip PATA one. The manual says this should enable the VIA controller.
What am I doing wrong? Please help me. I would like to get this SATA drive working and not have to return it and go get a regular EIDE drive.

Thanks for the fast response. I just realized that I have 4 total connectors. Im using the ones that are for the VIA controller. I just found the ones for Promise. They are located south of the VIA ones and are spaced farther appart.
And I have already set my jumper config for Force 150.
This current config does not work. Windows setup cannot see the drives. Maybe I have the wrong driver?
ensure HDD is detected during post or if you are using Promise ensure its detected and configured from utility.
then you will need:
VIA VT8237(R) SATA RAID Driver --> http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/VIA_VT8237_SATARAID_Floppy.zip
or if drive are attached to Promise:
http://download.msi.com.tw/support/dvr_exe/mbd_dvr/378_55.exe
extract files, navigate to "Driver" sub folder, copy all files into folder including sub folder WinXP to diskette.

I can't handle any more problems with this K8t NEO

Hi all, I am new to the forum.
I will honestly say I have tried to read allot of posts before I spoke up but....
I have:
K8t NEO
3200 64
Updated to the latest BIOS
Corsair Overclocking RAM (I am looking up the specs)
256 sick on slot 1
256 stick on slot 3
A new PS....something like:
3.3v 40
5v 38
12v 24 (the local CS gave me a hard time saying I DO NOT NEED such a big PS)
Maxtor 40 gig ATA133
NVIDIA 5600 256
and dwindling patience.
anyhoo, I have had one problem after another trying to get this system to work.
It took 3 hours to find that you cant run 3 sticks of ram.
The manual is the worst one I have ever seen. and there is no phone number to be found to talk to tech support.
I am not getting anywhere with the email "support" from MSI....a DAY to get an abreviated answer that does not answer the specific question. It may be a viable system if they get more staff.
One question...why does the screen "push any key to boot from CD" get "missed"
and two.... I cannot install the OS. It will scopy all of its files and on reboot, i get a messasge about not finding the boot info or something...and to insert a floppy.
I gave up and ran a preloaded HD and it worked for a day until during a recording session, It crashed and when it rebooted it says it cant find any boot info...I should of wrote down the message.
Now What??
I have tried:
A different HD cable
HD jumper settings (Slave / Master)
I tried a low level format.
3 different HDs
Bought the new PS.
I hope I do not have to send this thing in...I dont have hardly any free time. (does anyone?) IF it is needing replaced...do I deal with MSI or the Hindus (zboysz) I bought this Mobo from? I have nothing against Hindus but I CANNOT understand ANYTHING they are saying to me.
Sorry for venting here.
Can anyone can help?
TIA,
~Wizzie

Hey Wizzie
Although I have bought stuff from Tiger Direct ...If I were you instead of fooling around with RMA-ing more defective/incompatable RAM why not get the RAM modules that are indeed compatable with this mobo .........

[Athlon64] Preventing VIA RAID during boot with a K8T Neo?

Is there a way to stop the VIA controller looking for RAID devices on a K8T Neo MS-6702 VER 1.0 board?
The system has a single SATA connected to the VIA controller.
Thanks.

It's looking 4 disks, since u have a disk, and use it, i gues u want it to be found
It's the same thing with IDE devices, only thing is that the message is displayed shorter, giving the impression it works faster.

Card Reader problem with MSI K8T Neo

Hi,
I have the K8T Neo motherboard, and every once and a while my Atech Flash 9 in 1 card reader (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-176-003&depa=0) doesn't power up, thus I can't use it.
What's odd is that all my other USB devices work flawlessly.
The only way I'm able to use the card reader again is to power down my computer and then flip the power switch on the psu, then turn it back on, or unplug the reader from the usb header on the motherboard and plug it back in.
I've noticed other people have had similar issues...
Any ideas what causes this, or any ideas on how to fix this?
Bio Haz

Yes, I had the same hanging problems as well with older BIOS versions then 1.7.
But that isn't the problem I'm talking about, the computer always starts up, it's just a matter if the usb reader will work or not.
Maybe MSI has yet to make a BIOS that is compatible with all card readers.

Help with MSI K8N Neo Platinum

HELP please- motherboard MSI K8N Neo PLATINUM: I tried to take away the backplate for the heatsink (on the back side of MB) in order to install the zalman HS beafore i read the forum (use a fan...) and the worst of all happend:
I scratched the back surface!! the scratches are minor, that is 4 scratches half a milimeter long each and not deep but i can see the copper of some lines leading from the memory slots to the processr. My question is : can I try and build the computer on that motherboard anyway or better buy a new one? is there a risk of dammaging other components? oh god what a mistake!

Make sure the new backplate is non-conductive. The backplate for the Hyper 6 has a non-conductive sticker on it. Make sure to keep it on if youve got one... If the lines are exposed even with the back-plate on perhaps you should cover them with some non-conductive (100% non conductive!) tape or something.
Then it doesnt matter if they are exposed, as long as they are ok.
A good tip, which got when i was removing my backplate, is to use a blow dryer to heat it up and the remove it with your fingers. That way youll also notice if it gets to hot
The glue gets sticky at blow drier temps. And pls, dont singe the MB with your blow dryer, you only have to make it hot, and if you cant touch it, how can you remove it with your fingers?
I guess theres no way of telling if you have a serious prob and no way to tell if your cpu will be ok. I guess you could (?) try and start it wíthout anything (cpu, mems) but a PSU, and then, if it (and maybe the PSU) goes "!Pfsssssss!" or "bang!", youll now you will have to replace it.
I put a screwdriver through an asus board once, and it still worked...

Help with MSI P8T Neo-V P4 Board

I just purchased this new board to replace a bad one. I have a P4 Prescott 2.8 ghz with OCZ PC4200 2x512 mb on it. I can't get anything overclocked on this board, not even a slight overclock which is what I am looking for. Any ideas. I don't see anywhere to change the CPU voltage, I suppose I can't with this board, maybe thats the problem. I am running the memory at 2.75 but can up it to 2.85. Even if I don't get an overclock, I can't get my memory to run as dual channel either. What is Top Performance? Also board doesn't like Turbo, Ultra etc on the memory. Any help, I mean there has to be some one who is still running something like this.
MSIuser2k7

Leave as standard and buy a good cpu cooler for best performance....... prescott run very hot.
No reliable OC on prescott, as voltage is dynamic and not static like Northwood.........

Problem with my k8t neo

Ok, for some reason my puter will not boot at times, it tell me one of 3 things, a) no hd detected in dos screen, b) boots to logon screen and freezes, or c) boots to a blank screen and freezes. I was thinking that mh hd was going bad but its pretty new and i have heard on other forums that some other ppl are having similar probs with msi boards. Any help would be much appreciated!
System specs;
120 gb samsung SATA hd

mushkin pc3200 ram 2x512
athlon 64 3000
thanks!

How about what PSU you have complete with the 12v amps off it's label. What timings are you set too with that RAM? What other devices do you have attached? What version of Windows? Is it a clean install and that sort of stuff. The more we know the better we can attempt to get you good help. Also make a signature here with your base specs so we don't have to hunt them down.

[Athlon64] MSI K8T NEO-V : incompatibility with ATI RADEON 9800 PRO

Hi,
I read all the subjets on this forum about Radeon problems with MSI K8T NEO motherboard. Most of the peple can't use their graphic card in all situations.
My PC is :
-MSI K8T NEO-V
-AMD-64 3200
-Power : 400W
-ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
-1 Go DDRAM (2x512 in single channel)
-Hercules Digifires 7.1
I bought a new MSI K8T NEO-V with AMD 64.
The problem is that I can't use the computer in the games with AGP 8X even if I try to enable-disable all the options possibles in BIOS and Windows (fast write ...) : The computer freeze (screen disapear as if there was no video signal), reboot or return to Windows disabling the accelerated mode.
But in AGP 4X, all the game run without problem with all setups of BIOS !!!
I tried all the drivers (the new and the old drivers). Even if all are updated, it freeze.
There are no BIOS update for my motherboard. I saw that some people had BIOS update for compatibility with some Radeon cards ...
So, I don't know how to repair the problem because AGP 8X is AGP 8X and not 4X, and my Radeon run fine on other computer, and nothing say that Radeon 9800 pro don't run on this motherboard.
Does someone have the solution to make it work ? Does a new BIOS or driver update exist somewhere for Radeon cards ?

What Bas said about 30+ amps on the 12v rail does have merit. Even if you don't use it now there may come a time when you want to upgrade the system and certainly you won't want to buy yet another PSU then. A High end vid card now takes almost as much as the CPU to operate. Now days the 12v rail is the most important. Past systems regulated everything off the 5v railk and 12v was used mostly for powering drive motors. Now though the MB's use the 12v line to regulate all the voltages for the CPU, Chipset and other features as does the Vid cards. 3.3 volt lines are used for memory so we hardly use any 5v nowdays.
You have an older viod card and that does not eat much 12v but if you upgrade the most likely peice will be the vid card. You could go through this whole thing all over again if you are not careful to plan for that now with a new PSU purchase.
If the computer shop gives you a bunch of bull about power needs havbe them stop by the forum and we can help set them straight on this. There is more than enough data from MSI and historical data here that suggests that 16a on the 12v rail is certainly not enough. Hey I am not trying to sell you anything. I am just trying to help you get it right. The computer shop is the one trying to sell you something we just feel they are selling the wrong junk.
