BIOS for K8N Neo2 Platinum

Hi to all.
Just wanted to know what's the best and most stable bios for my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I'm currently running ver. 1.B, but I've read that ver. 1.9 is the best. Just wanted to know everyone's thought on this one.
In case ver. 1.8 is better,
¿can I flash my bios to ver. 1.9 from 1.B without having any problems?
¿Is ver. 1.9 better for overclocking?
Thanks.

New BIOS for K8N Neo2 Platinum

Version 1.1
- Support CPU FSB to 350MHz.
- Incorrect message during POST after CPU over clocking.
- Support Sempron CPU.
- Ghost rate is slow with RAID0 under DOS mode.

Anyone noticed a slight slowdown of the processor? I'll have to get back home to doublecheck all BIOS settings, but checking this with Sandra (which has been accurate so far for CPU speed testing) BIOS 1.0 and 1.1 showed identical speeds...BIOS 1.2 is 10% slower.
let us know what you find out....curious myself because i already checked bios and nothing changed after update

Is it possible to order bios chip 1b for K8N Neo2 Platinum

My issues are:
Improve compatilbility problem with some USB 2.0 devices
BIOS reported incorrect CPU temperature.
If you have the d-bracket installed, it may help to completely disconnect it. Sometimes it will cause inaccurate temp readings. You can always plug it back in if you need it for troubleshooting.
I unhooked mine & my reported CPU temps dropped by 8C...

Modded bios for K8N Neo-54G Platinum

Hi,
i've noticed that there are some modded bios versions available for the K8N (i.e. at syar2003's collection). My question is now whats the difference between them and the MSI versions (especially between the latest 1.56 versions)?
Edit: Has anyone allready used the modded bios 1.56 and has he got any performance boost?

Hehe , don't consider yourself a retard for this .
MSI's naming of theese boards is pretty simular and can cause theese
kinds of confusions .You are not the first one .
Anyway it was good you got the mishap resolved so quick
and got up and running again.
Look for radical_53 's post he has made a "Neo2" bios with nvraid ide rom bios 4.66 . Send him a message and he will email it to you ,i'm sure.
Vdimm voltage is not coming any higher i think , either for Neo1 or Neo2 .
Guess it has to do with board design , selection of regulator IC , and
the fact that msi runs mem from the 3.3v line (some voltage level will always be missed due to the components and regulation)
If you want really high vdimm there is just one way and that is hardmodding
the motherboard and that can be a risky affair bothe for board/mem and cpu
if things go wrong.
Other alternative is another mobo .
DFI's s754 takes vdimm from +5v and there is a modded bios that gives upto 4v for memory. They have a s939 board ready thats being betatested , but it's not released yet.
MSI K8N boards have pretty desent max vdimm compared to many others .
This is what i have found on some others :
Gigabyte max VDIMM 2.7v
MSI K8N Neo2 VDIMM 2.85v
DFI Lanparty UT VDIMM 4.0v (s754 with modded bios)
Asus K8N VDIMM 2.8v (some PCB's max 2.7v)
Epox VDIMM 2.8v
Chaintech VDIMM 2.9v

Looking for K8N Neo2 Bioses

I am currently looking for any New K8N Neo2 Bios / Beta Bios that have been tested by users... If anyone knows of any, drop a link here please.. Thank you!

Hi
I've flashed to 1.2 (foolishly I might add). I now have major instability in windows 2000. Lots of errors etc that were never present with the 1.1 bios.
I'd like to flash to back to 1.1 or 1.23 (whichever is better I think its the1.23 right?) But I'd prefer to use a flash utility through windows rather than using floppy disks etc.
Someone mentioned it a few posts ago. Could you maybe tell me which program you use???
thanks awfully

Flashing bios of k8n neo2 plat without installing windows?

hi
my k8n neo2 arrives tomorrow to replace an asus a8v which is causing me problems with my x2 4400 and dsp cards (uad-1 and poco mk2).
with the asus i could use "ez flash" and put a floppy (or cd) with the bios and press a button and the bios would flash.
does the k8n neo2 have a similar function. i have skimmed through the manual pdf but can't see a reference to this way of updating the bios.
or do i have to install windows and then the bios update. the reason i ask is because it is only the latest bios that recognises the dual-core and so if i installed windows, the hal wouldn't be multi-processor therefore only one core would be recognised and i'd have to install windows xp pro over again.
thanks very much in advance for any help.

wow!
thanks for the quick replies richard and syar, appreciated man.
can i do this with a cd-rom instead of floppy?
1. download the bios file and flash tool.
Unzip them if zipped and have them ready to copy to the cd image.
2. Goto
http://www.bootdisk.com/
Down on the page you find a subtilte called "Bootable CD"
Download flashcd.zip and read the userguide thouroghly.
Direct link to flashcd : http://www.bootdisk.com/kentucky/flashcd.zip
3. Download and install UltraISO from http://www.ezbsystems.com
4. Start UltraISO and follow the instructions from flashcd's readme :
File | Open | Select flashcd.iso | Open | Image windows shows bootable |
Select your bios files in the lower window | Drag to the top window | File |
Save.
To burn:
File | Open | Click on flashcd.iso | Open | You'll see your bios flash
files on the right | Tools | Burn
Then you have a bootable cd with biosfiles
Remember that the bios files will be on drive R:> after booting the cd.
When the cd has loaded on the dos prompt write R: followed by enter
Then write the AWFLxxx biosfile string like you do from a floppy boot

New Bios for K8N Neo 2?

I belong to the overlockers.com forum. People over there are dropping MSI's left and right because of stability issues and overclocking problems. This is not to mention the quirky temp readings and vcore settings. It seems that some of these issues could be addressed by a new bios. These same issues have been fixed by Epox with their bios updates. When is MSI going to get this done? I suggest it should be soov or the reputation of this board and MSI are going to ake a beating.

Possible to flash bios on k8n neo2 platinum without single core athlon64?

Hi.
I just bought a k8n neo2 platinum v1 and also managed to find a decently priced athlon64 X2 3800+ (which should work fine with this mobo according to msi's website and a number of forum posts I've seen across the web). The cpu hasn't arrived yet, but I'd appreciate if someone could answer something I'm wondering about before that happens. I've read that the mobo (like many others) will need a bios update to use dual core cpu's. A problem I have is that I don't have a single core athlon64 to use for flashing it. I did read on several forums and in some articles that a lot of mobos would be able to boot the dual core as a single core without the bios update, in which case I should be able to flash the bios with a boot disk, or similar. However, it occurred to me that it may only be nforce4 mobos that could do this.
Now, I'd really appreciate if anyone knew whether I could flash the bios with the dual core working as a single core, or if I have to start looking for a single core athlon64, to use for that purpose alone.
Thanks in advance!

Finally got it assembled (after having to order a new fan, since I couldn't get the old one to work)!
It worked to boot without flashing first, the BIOS recognized the cpu as an unknown hammer cpu. After flashing (which went without any sign of trouble), I'm now up and running
Thanks for the help :D
Tried to used the CPUZ to check on the cpu version? Cos dual core doesn have a hammer but manchester only. Gd luck.

Max processor for K8N Neo2?

Howdy, I have a K8N Neo2 and I'm looking to upgrade the processor in it. Looking at the specs on the website it lists "Supports up to 3500+, 3800+ Athlon 64 FX 53, or higher CPU". Has anyone put anything faster then an FX53 in a K8N Neo2 and it worked? Just wondering how fast I can go with the processor in this board.
Thanks,
Harold

Which power supply for k8n neo2 Platinum

I need to buy a new power supply for my computer. With the ATX12V v2.2 standard and ATX12V 2.01 and the "no -5v on new psu's" issue I'm at a loss as to what to look for. I have looked and cannot find what "standard" (is that even the correct term?) the k8n neo2 supports.
My main requirement is that the psu be 550-650 watts and have modular cables. I know someday I will have to upgrade my system to PCI-E and modern components, so I would like a PSU that would work now and in the future.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
system spec's
Motherboard- MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
CPU- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core 4800 939 socket
Memory-CORSAIR 2X1G Twinx2048
Video- ATI HIS 4670 1GB AGP
HD- Seagate 100 gb 7200 rpm
Drives CD-DVD and CD-RW
PSU- Ultra X Connect 500W ATX
Sound- Creative SB Audigy2 Gamer
OS- WinXP Home SP3 32 bit

Why do you need 550-650W or is that just because of future needs? I would suggest one of the Corsair +12V single rail modular PSU's if you insist on the modular design. Check newegg for what they have for modular in the Corsair lineup. I'm sure you're aware that their price is considerably higher than the non-modular. K8 MB's that needed -5V are the early ones that had Creative Sound Blaster onboard audio.
HX650
   * Was: $139.99
   * $109.99
   * After $10.00 Rebate
   * $10.18 Shipping
That's what it is now but if you don't need it in a big hurry you can probably wait a while and get for the same price but with free shipping.
Edit: Gee, Ultra with blown caps, I just happen to have a xPRO 800W that blew some caps, repaired it and started going bad again and then got my TX650 to replace it. Got it for $70 after rebate (which I haven't received yet) by waiting for the right price, rebate and free shipping. VX550 would have been good enough but at the time I got the TX650 at a lower price.

BIOS FOR K8n neo platinum

A while back there was a big post about how to properly upgrade your bios and he had listed every bios beta or official for download. Anyone have that post? and What is the best bios for the K8n Neo platinum? Im still running on 1.1....

Quote from: Supershanks on 09-June-05, 04:24:05
Just the usual bios to bios temp tweak - no worries
Have been running with speedfan with a 4C offset think i can dith it now with 1.8
Higher or lower?
Hmmm... My SpeedFan is running with no delta adjustments on the temps. I wonder if there is a discrepancy in what it's reporting & what it actually is after you boot into Windows
I'd try to go by what the Hardware Monitor says, but temp's always seem to be high when you're in BIOS anyway....

Sound Question for K8N Neo2 Platinum

Here's my current setup:
AMD FX-53
XP-120 heatsink
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Mobo.
1 GB Crucial Ballistix (Slots 1 & 2)
NVidia 6800 GT 256 MB
200 GB SATA SEAGATE HDD (SATA3)
Lite-on Dual Layer (Model# SOHW-1633S BLK)
Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU
I am presently using the onboard sound, and I am able to hear left and right channels of sound when using media player, winamp, etc. I can play both music and dvds.
I'm using the optical output on my mobo, and sending it to my Sony Home Theatre amplifier with an internal 5.1 decoder. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get 5.1 surround sound. I set the MSI Sound effect manager Speaker configuration to 6 Speakers, and I have my CD player transmitting sound via the normal 2 pin cd rom audio cable.
Does anyone know why I cannot get 5.1 surround sound when listening to DVD's??? Do I need to connect the digital output on my DVD burner? If so, where does it connect to the mobo?

My DVD drive didn't come with any kind of driver CD. I'm trying to use Media Player to run the DVD's. Is it compatible with Dolby Digital?
Has anyone ever used PowerDVD? This software came with the DVD burner, but I haven't installed it as I don't know much about it.

Screwed bios update for K8N Neo2 board

Hello,
I had a perfectly working system for the last couple of months (see below). Last night I updated my bios from version 1.41(mod bios) to 1.52. I downloaded the 1.52 bios from here: http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo2.html
Unfortunately, when I try to boot the machine, I get a quick glimse silver Plantinum banner srceen before the machine shuts down. I have pulled the plug from the rear of the case and then reinserted it about 20 seconds later and then rebooted the machine while holding down the 'Insert' key. Same result....The machine momentarily shows the banner screen and then shuts down.
Any suggestions will be apprecaited.
Thanks

this bios is a disaster many are reporting serious problems...do you have any other ram to try ....
Beta BIOS's should be used by those with BIOS saviors only unless lots have success with one.
Obviously not the case with this BIOS.
I have seen a work round that would be worth a try if you had any ram you could try.
1) Hello, I had exactly the same problem with my MSI K8N Neo 2 i flashed to the 1.52 beta bios and had the 3 second problelm, pulling my hair out i tried new PSU, blah blah, the thing that fixed it was removing my Crucial Ballistix PC4000 Ram and sticking some el cheapo PC3200 ram in the, system booted perfectly >?
2) My BIOS just expired whilst updating to 1.52, I will give your method a try to see if I can get it to boot and roll back the update.
YAAAAAY!! Removing my Corsair XLPT and using an old Twinmos 3200 stick has got my machine up and running again so a BIG cheers bud!
Seems the 1.52 likes cheap ram. Go figure
