K8N Neo-F Power Issues

I hope you guys can help. Here are Specs first off:
K8N Neo-F (UNfortuantely, I forgot to take note of the BIOS Rev. I will contact the system owner tonight and try to get it.)
AMD 3800+ X2
Kingston ValuRam 1GB DDR3200
Enermax Whisper II 535w PSU
This system was built for a co-worker. Got everything in place, go to power on the system. Switch the power switch on the PS to on and all the fans, (PS, CPU, Chipset, 2 case fans,) power on. The system isn't on mind you, but the fans have come on. Hit the power button on the front of the case and the PC turns on ok. Everything looks to be alright, but the fact the fans are turning on before I've powered on the system is bothering me. I have the same PS, so I switch them out, put his in my PC, mine in his, and the same thing, the fans turn on in his PC with only the PS switch turned to on, but not the case switch. His PS in my PC works normally, PS turned to on, the fans do not power up until the case switch is hit. So I've determined his PS is fine. I try removing the MSI board from his case and placing it on a non-conductive surface to see if maybe its shorting out. Try it with his PS, same thing, fans turn on with only the PS switched to on. Nothing in the case is shorting it out, so I'm still confused here.
I even disconnected the header connecters from the case and the fans still power on with the PSU set to on.
In short, is this board supposed to do this? Is there a toggle in BIOS somewhere so I can keep those fans off unless the case power switch is hit?
Windows installed fine, no problems, got everything installed, drivers and whatnot, even got Oblivion installed and it ran great, so I am assuming the system is fairly stable.
The other problem is that if you shutdown windows, you cannot turn the PC back on unless you turn off the PS switch first. The case switch does nothing.
In all my years, I've never seen system fans turn on with only the PS turned to on and the main system not powered up.

Quote
why are fans powering on with just the PSU switched turned to on.
It usually does this once , when there is no valid cmos setup data saved ( users have used the F1 to continue).
Try "Load Optimized Defaults" followed by F10 , save , exit and power off by flipping the PSU switch during the following restart/post .

MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM BlueScreen Issue! Help!

I'm having an issue with my MSI K8N NEO i get the blue screens occasionally.. A friend of mine says its a IDE driver issue.. LMK Here are the system specifications.
MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM
ATHLON64 3000+ @2.01 (stock)
SAMSUNG 512MB PC3200 CAS 2.5
PNY MX440 64MB DDR AGP8X
MAXTOR DIAMONDPLUS MAX 8 40GB, 7200RPM SLIM
300W GENERIC PS
LMK whats wrong if you have ideas, i dont know if you have sufficient information to come up with a conclusion.. im not too sure whats going on either.. But A friend of mine is getting exact same issues he says its IDE conflicts.. now when the Blue screen comes up it doesnt stay long enough to give a moment to read it.. lmk if you have ideas thx..

which drivers are you using?
Right click MY computer -> properties -> Advance -> start up and recovery -> system failure -> uncheck "automatically restart"
this way it will stop at the blue screen and get an stop error number
Or view the error log
Help and support -> Pick a Task ->Use Tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems ->under Tools -> my computer Information-> View Advanced System Information -> View error log
it shows all errors by date migh provide you error numbers ie. 0x000008e

K8N Neo DVD drive issues

I am having problems getting my liteon 811s dvd drive to work on my MSI K8N neo. Im pretty sure the problem is the motherboard. I did have the drive working for a while but one day it stopped working. It will show a cd and you can get into the folders, but when it tried to copy data the program that is trying to acess the cd just freezes. Another weird thing is that i can burn dvds ok. I have tried installing windows (in dos) on to a dinfrent hard drive and the installation just froze. I poped the drive into my older computer and it worked with no probelms. Another thing i tried was clearing the CMOS. That improved things temporarly, it would copy a dvd and after 40% it would crap out. After a restart it would not work like normal. I have also tried switching IDE cables.

Just to finish what I posted above:
With BIOS "Standard CMOS Features" for the Secondary Slave switched from "Auto" to "Manual", I can select the DMA Mode using Windows' Device Manager, it stays where I put it, and allows full function of the DVD/CD Rom drive. With BIOS set to "Auto", it wants to select Ultra DMA 5, which the drive is said to support, but this causes problems reading CDs. I can change the DMA Mode in Device Manager, but it finds its way back to Ultra DMA 5 after a reboot/use or two.
It may very well be that this could be fixed by getting the two DVD/CD drives off the same Channel -- when I feel like rearranging everything in my box to do this, I'll try it.
The funny thing is that with this virgin system, everything ran fine for a while. There may be incompatible software involved -- incompatible with either the drive or combination of drives, the mobo chipset, or the BIOS. I probably can't blame the nvidia IDE drivers, since I get the CD-reading problem even with Windows IDE drivers. I'm tempted to reformat the drive and start over, paying closer attention to this as I install software.
I first noticed the CD-reading when I updated the firmware on the drive -- I can't blame it on that since I reflashed it to original, and the drive works fine with either firmware version when connected to another machine.
My specific problem was that the drive refused to read any type of CD -- DVDs were OK. Windows could identify the files on a disk, but could not read them. (Changing DMA Mode fixes this, but getting the DMA Mode change to stick requires the BIOS change described above.)
Anyway, to 6th Extinction: I realize this thread has wandered away from your specific problem -- hope you get it solved -- maybe some of what's been posted here, and elsewhere, will help.

MSI K8N Neo blinking power led?

Okay.. so..
I just upgraded my system with the mobo mentioned above and an AMD Athlon 64 3200+.
I wanted to test some different some different linux systems that do 64 bits.. so, first i try gentoo and then debian-amd64 (both are text based/curses based installs).
The installs go great.. but when i finish up and install X the system halts and the power led starts flashing.
I suspect that X might be pushing my power supply to the limit (for windows users.. X is a graphical interface to linux;)
So, should i go to my store and buy a new PS?
If so, can you recommend any, or any specs of the PS?
Any replies are appreciated.

You will have to make a bootable floppy with the latest bios here is MSI web page maybe this will help you http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp.

K8N Neo 4 Platinum issue.

So I have the 7125 revision of the board. Non-sli, and with the RealTek sound.
Thing is, I can' get the SPID/F to work at all, from either the Coaxial or Optical links. Neither will output 5.1 channel sound. I can get 5.1 out using the standard "headphone" jacks though, so I don't know what the issue is. I've tried the optical/coax on a Sony Receiver that I use for my living room, no luck, on a set of Logitech 5500's, no luck. But when I connect them to the Logitech's headphone jacks, I get 5.1, and the same when I connect them to my Klipsch. The rub of it is, I'll always get the 2 front speakers out of the coax and optical ports, never anything more.
Furthermore, when using it with the Sony receiver(it is a Media Center PC), when playin DVD's the receiver registers the input as PCM 48. And when I have it in 2 channel mode, I hear sound from my surrounds in Original Dolby Surround mode.

you don't seem to get what i mean.
when u have already done is on the realtek control panel side.
However, u still have to select SPDIF as the audio output device in your DVD player software. you have to refer to the help file of your DVD player software to go about this. u can get 5.1 channel surround from ur headphone is all because u did not select SPDIF as ur audio output device, so therefore all data will be decoded in software and then channelled to ur analog audio output.
Okay, I'm willing to try that. But wouldn't the Realtek Demo put it out to 5.1 via the SPID/F when using the built in sound demo? Because that's not happening.

MSI K8N Neo Platinum ,bios issue or HW

Hi i am using a system like in the signature described (usind adata instead of twinmos) im cooling with a prometeia system , and the board ist watercooled.
My CPU is a Newcastle (@2800mhz ) my graphic card is the normal 9700pro (it makes no diff in oc if the card is clocked or not)
Now i got some serious problems , i can´t run high fsb sync ? Why ? i wasn´t able to do this with the twinmos ram , but i read twinmos has some serious problems with the nforce3, so i purchased 2*512 mb adata.
I tried different dimm combinations (1/2 ; 1/3) that didn´t made any difference
I tried different bios (1.2 1.25 1.31 1.1) but this didnt made any difference either (using 131 now)
my pci/agp is fix (always 66,67/33,34 in clockgen so its just perfect)
i don´t use any SATA devices (all disabled in bios)
What is my Problem ? is it only a bios problem , or is there hardware in my sys which makes probs? Could it be an IRQ Problem (got 2 pci cards in slot 3 and4 its an IDE raid controller and a soundcard)
i hope there is any help for me :(

Well this is the second time someone mentions problem with Adata DIMMs:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=55475&sid=
Maybe it's about time to post it here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=51997&sid=
For all I can think of right now, either run the board with a single module or both with 5:6 divider

K8N Neo Platinum and 12V PSU

Hi!
I'm don't understand, that in the MSI Test Report for k8n neo are power supplies like Seventeam ST-300BLP 15A@12V, and here in the forum everyone says it must be >24A@12V?? I know it's true, becouse my computer with enermax 18A@12V restarts, and freezes.... but why are so weak power supplies listed in the test report??
batabub

I would agree with the sound advice from hansh for now, to answer your question, look at the spec of the test rig used, to call it minimal is an understatement, it makes a barebones system look like a server
Then look around at the specs of the majority of people in this forum with multple drives top end graphic cards etc.,
this thread may be of interest. New Computer getting random crashes/reboots

K8N Neo Platinum, USB devices keep losing power

I have a K8N Neo Platinum with a 3000+ AMD 64 chip...
I have a USB problem whereby my wireless USB adaptor just keeps losing power, when I look at the adaptor itself all the power has gone and no lights are on. Unplugging the device and re-inserting it does not get any response from windows. Also, after this has happened, my other USB devices (ie mouse) continue to work fine UNLESS I unplug them and re-insert them. If I do this they also will not power back up. I've tried various adaptors from Netgear and alll of them have the same problems, its like they are causing the USB on my system to fail.
This happens with both the motherboard rear ports and the case front ports and is really driving me mad. Running XP Pro SP 2
I have this problem a couple years ago, and now I've gone back to using the same machine after a reformat the same is happening again. I've installed the latest nFoce drivers and in device management I've turned OFF power management for the USB Root Hubs but it's still happening.
Any ideas?

Check to see if there is a wire running from your Front USB ports to the #10 slot of your USB block which connects to the motherboard header.
USB connector block layout which corresponds to the pin layout on boards with the Intel spec for USB. Do not cut the pin on the MOBO. You are removing/cutting the wire to the connector block from the case.
2 4 6 8 10(this wire, #10, not needed)
1 3 5 7 9(filled/key)
If you find a wire leading to the #10 spot on the block, remove that wire. My block has tabs so that you can pull the wire out, or you could snip/cut the wire leading to that position--if you cut the wire, be careful to cut the correct one and cut it in such a way that it may be repaired if you make a mistake. Make sure you wrap the wire, the exposed end/s, you remove/cut with electrical tape so as not to accidentally cause a short. I actually folded the wire back and wrapped it.
2 posts to read--Here and Here.
This seems to be a common issue involving many different case manufacturers. I don't know how it applies to other MOBO manufacturers, but in these forums it is not limited to a specific MSI model or supported chipset(Intel or AMD).

K8N Neo Platinum - Wake from Hibernate, WOL & MB Backplate - Issues

What can I say. This board has so many frustratingly annoying issues I'm wondering if I've just made a horrible mistake. I got this board for my HTPC hoping it would prove more stable than my Abit KV8 Pro. But stability has become the least of my concerns.
1. A HTPC must be quiet. I have a Zalman 7000B AlCu which is excellent. But the CPU mount backplate on the K8N is *glued* to the motherboard! I can't imagine why anyone would think glueing this thing instead of going with the standard method (held in place by the screws) was a good idea, because it's not. Now I have to void the warranty by taking the backplate off to install the Zalman, because even with the Fanmate at the lowest setting, the stock AMD cooler is too loud (in a whiny sort of way).
If I use a fan forced heater (on minimal heat) to heat up the backplate (this will also heat up the rest of the motherboard), will the glue just melt and the backplate come off cleanly? Or will I be stripping off PCB tracks all over the place?
2. A HTPC must be ready to wake up quickly to deal with program recording. The Webscheduler program can wake up a PC from sleep to commence recording. But the K8N Neo Platinum can't seem to wake up from hibernate (or when shutdown) with a keypress or mouse click even though I've enabled these options in the BIOS. I use a wireless KB & Mouse, but the receiver plugs in to the KB & Mouse PS2 ports (not USB). This worked flawlessly with the Abit board.
Any ideas? Having to get up, go to the HTPC, and press the power button just to wake it up from hibernate is stupid.
3. The HTPC must wake up when somebody tries to connect remotely to the Webscheduler program. I have port forwarding setup on the router. When I connected to the HTPC remotely using my previous Abit KV8 Pro board, the HTPC would wakeup (from hibernate) and within a short time I would be connected. But allowing the MSI board network to wake the PC results in the thing waking up every minute or so (I assume it's either router activity or some other quirk of the MSI board). This didn't happen with the Abit board.
How do I set up the board to behave like my Abit KV8 board did?
4. In fact, there seems to be so little in the way of power management options in the BIOS that I'm wondering if perhaps the BIOS is half cooked or something. I have version 1.4 (so LiveUpdate tells me). Would a BIOS update help? LiveUpdate says I can download 1.6.
Thanks.

i've no particular interest in wake up technology but my neo platinum wakes up immediately i touch key or mouse, always has so i guess i'ts not bios based.
Is this wake from S1 or S3 state, or wake from hibernate? As I understand it, the PC is off when it is hibernating. The BIOS options only provide for the ability to wake up from sleep using the mouse/keyboard. There are no options to turn on the PC using the mouse/keyboard. I know the nForce3 250GB can do it, because I have a Soltek K8AN2E+ board in my other machine, which does allow me to wake from the off-state.
At the moment, continuous pressing of keys and clicking the mouse does absolutely nothing. It wakes the machine up from sleep (non hibernate) but not from hibernate or power off.
Do any MSI reps frequent these forums? Can they tell me specifically whether the MSI Neo Platinum does have the ability to turn on the PC using the mouse or keyboard, as opposed to merely waking it up from sleep? If this board cannot do this (and it would be one of the very few that can't), then it's useless to me. Having to walk up to the HTPC machine in the lounge room just to turn it on is counterproductive.

K8N Neo USB Problem + Boot/Shutdown issues

I just bought the K8N Neo and I am having problems with it.
First problem is usb. Sometimes when I boot up my mouse and keyboard won't work. That only happens sometimes though. The bigger problem is, that usb devices (mouse and keyboard) fail randomly. Like I'd be playing a game, then I suddenly hear the sound that windows makes when you disconnect a usb device, keyboard and mouse are dead, and then 10 seconds later I hear the sound for plugging an usb device in and all is back to normal.
I've read some of the older threads where other people are having that problem too but I have not found a solution to this yet. I'm using the two usb ports that are attached to the mainboard. Also I tried to disable "allow windows to shut down this device to save power" (or whatever it says) in the hardware device manager for the usb hubs as somebody on this forum suggested. Didn't help.
Usb keyboard/mouse support is turned on in the bios and I have the newest drivers installed for everything.
My second problem is that when I start windows (XP) I would see the loading screen but it's very very dark and nothing is happening (like it's frozen). About 15 seconds later it suddenly is brighter and I see the "loading bar" moving. Also, whenever I try to restart or turn the pc off I get a similar freeze. After clicking on Start->Shutdown the mouse cursor turns into the sandclock and I can't do anything. Can't click on any icon nor the taskbar. Takes about 5 minutes for anythingto happen. That's when I get the "turn off, restart" screen. After clicking on something I'd see "please wait while windows is shutting down" for another 5 minutes to so. Any ideas as to what could be causing this behaviour?

@gamecock: How do I get the drivers for IDE back to the Microsoft version? Do I have to run the Nvidia Setup again and remove the driver or is there a different way? (btw I'm booting from the IDE drive)
Go to your device manager, then IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, and double click on the NVIDIA nForce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6). You can try to roll back driver and see if it puts you back to Microsoft. If you've upgraded from 2.5 then you will only go back with an Nvidia driver again. If so, then choose to Update Driver instead, at Welcome etc choose No, not this time, Next, Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), Next, and then click Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install and Next. At the Select device driver, you should have checked Show compatible hardware and several drivers should show in the Model window, at least the Nvidia and the Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller. The standard is the Microsoft driver. Choose the standard driver and Next. You will have to reboot and hopefully things will be better. To put it back to Nvidia you only have to repeat process about but select Nvidia or run their install again. Later....

Question for those with memory issues on k8n neo plat

I have been having issues with my memory on the k8n neo platinum board since i built the system last month and i just recently discovered a fact I had overlooked.
I Have discovered that if i test the system while it is cool (having sat turned off overnight for example), then memtest will pass the ram just fine and the system will be stable for a short period of time, generally longer if no intensive applications are used, ie. doom3 vs. websurfing).
This system, once it heats up ( seems mostly to be the nvidia 3 nb that needs to be "hot"- that is, a probe placed in contact with the module reaches about 58+ degrees c) then the system becomes unstable and memtest, if used, fails.
Prime95, if used on it when its cool, will usually take about an hour or so to fail, but if its used on the system when its been running a bit ( temps from nb at 58c+ and memory module hot to the touch) then it fails after about 20-30 seconds.
I have placed an active hs on the nb in an attempt to correct this, but temps still remain high with failures occuring.
I have spent the better part of three days testing the sytem this way and the above facts have held true in all these tests.
I have tested at stock ratings ( not using "auto" in bios, but using "approved ratings" of 10 x 200 for fsb and timings of 2-3-3-7 for my ram at 1:1 (which is recommended as well) since i am testing for base stability at this point;Voltages have been left at auto settings, however.
I was wondering if anyone else with memory issues could try this out and post if this seems to be the case for you as well.
Perhaps the memory issues on these boards are directly related to a problem with the nvidia 3 chipset running too hot?
Does anyone have a memory issue with these boards who is using water cooling on the NB ?
Lack of issues from people using 'problem" memory, but having no failures with water cooled nb's would support my assumption.

Yes i did mean chipset.
I am using a stock hs/fan from amd, which seems to run a tad hot but, considering that I wont overclock until I can get board stable, its not an issue. (runs 35-40 idle and up to 72 intensive). I need the warranty more then the extra mhz at present.
I removed the stock heatsink from the nvidia chipset and bought a generic chipset cooler (green, very little in the way of fins and seems to be aluminum) with a small fan.
I used a generic silver paste from Compusa to adhere both the cpu hs and the chipset.
I didnt lap either hs, just installed each as per instructions on artic silvers website (figured it had to go on the same way even generic).
I also bought a kingwin thermal center which i ran probes from to the cpu, case, and nb chipset.
I am not using it to adjust fans so those arent connected - its just a reference temp I can see at a glance, esp considering the funky bios reading this boards been known to give.
I assume from these responces that even a nvidia 3 250 chipset shouldnt get as hot as mine?
I asked about that from the retailer i bought this from but he seemed to think it was "ok" at 50ish celcius, but then again he didnt look too confident when he said it, lol.
Idle right now reads on Corecenter at 28 celcius for cpu and 33 celcius for the chipset, although, I have readings of 37 c and 43 c from the kingwin thermal center, which i believe to be more accurate.
My voltage reads at 11.67 for the 12v line at idle right now.
The psu i got is stick from the xblade case i bought in store. (http://www.xoxide.com/xblade2.html)
I have a dvd burner, cd drive, and two maxtor ide hd's attached to the system;The only card is the agp.
Is there a way to check and see if the cpu ispower starved? software monitor or even an external probe perhaps?
I havent put a probe on it, but the ram came in its own heatspreader, which gets very hot to the touch as well.
What temps should I be looking for on these items?

K8N Neo Platinum issue, computer does not boot..

Hello,
I’m going to try to be as thorough as possible here… :D
Recently I reinstalled Windows Xp (32-bit version) on my computer to speed things up again like it used to be. I did an updated on the BIOS while I was at it as well, through the Live Update tool downloaded from the msi.com.tw website. The install went well, no errors. The next day while playing WoW the computer began acting weird and computer froze during gameplay. After that the computer had artefacts, strange disturbance on the screen making it impossible to see anything on the screen. So I thought that maybe since the screen looked all messed up it was definitely the graphics card that was about to die and so I sent the gfx to the retailer and they checked it thoroughly for errors without finding any, while they were at it they also checked my RAM and they also came out clean.
A few days ago when my Gfx and RAM came back I inserted them back onto the mobo and when turning on the powerswitch nothing happened… I therefore tried to solve the problem myself and began reinserting all the computer parts piece after piece and well the computer started at least with the fans going and all but after a few seconds it shuts down again.
When I plug in the power cable the PSU makes a clicking sound, don’t know if that’s normal but haven’t noticed it before.
To maybe help you guys when helping me I installed the d-bracket (the usb thingy with 4 led’s ^^) which shows 4 red lights when starting the computer and lasts until the computer shuts down. According to the d-bracket FAQ it means: “- The D-LED will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly or you have a weak Power Supply Unit.”
Well I reinstalled the cpu, put on new thermal grease so I don’t think that is the problem and the computer has been working fine for more than one year until now... How do I know if it’s the PSU or if the cpu is damaged? Could the motherboard been damaged after Live update’s flash? And what could have caused the artefacts on my screen the other day? Errors with the newest nVidia gfx drivers? I’m very confused :S
What should I do?
Thank you for your help!

Hi again..
I've now received a new PSU from Antecs RMA department. A TruePower 2.0 380W. My computer still doesn't work. 4 Red LED's when trying to boot it up. But I have noticed one thing since last time I wrote here. Remember what I was saying that I upgraded my BIOS through LiveUpdate? When I later checked my motherboard I noticed the CMOS pins around JBAT1(I think) was incorrectly placed. Instead of having them on either 1,2(to keep settings) or 1,3(to clear CMOS) they were placed right next to the JBAT1 pins, on something that wasn't named or explained in my manual. Maybe that is the reason my computer is acting strange? I mean the BIOS could maybe not have properly been saved or something. :/
I'm too inexperienced to know if that had anything to do with my recent computer isssues, but maybe you guys know. Would that screwup by me be covered by my warranty?
If that pins-placed-wrong-on-the-mobo problem doesn't have anything to do with my problem that leaves me with the 4 LEDs from the D-bracket showing a broken CPU or PSU(it's brand new, shouldn't be any problem with it!). So a damaged CPU it is.
Anyone of you got an idea? Been away from my computer for too long. This is getting annoying.
Thanks.

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.

Quote from: Dr Stu on 20-November-05, 04:36:29
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.

K8N Neo and SATA overclocking issues?

I'm thinking of getting some SATA Adapters for my PATA drives to help improve airflow in my K8N Neo Platinum.
I do have a few questions though.
I've been reading some threads about various issues regarding SATA like corruption of data when overclocking FSB.
I'm currently running 245 FSB 1:1 with the 1.42b2 BIOS.
First of all, will the SATA adpaters slow down my drives?
Will I experience any corruption or any other issues with using SATA (and adapters) with my drives?
Thx for sharing.

Don't bother doing what you are thinking...
as for SATA, it has the ability to be faster than IDE, but because of the drivers it doesn't have a speed advantage so much right now. The only SATA drives I would get would be raptors, which I have one...otherwise I would go IDE

K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo issues **DEAD**

My first K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo got RMA'ed due to the fan on the nvidia chip stopping. This replaced board is now getting RMA'ed as it just fried on me. No idea what is gone on it, but I had a local shop diagnose that it was the mobo.
So is anyone else having issues with the K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo? I've asked MSI RMA dept to replace it with a Diamond Plus mobo as the K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo is oviously crap.
Do they still make the K8N Neo 4 Platnium SLI mobo or is it now discontinued?

OK, I'm starting to understand this dual rail thingy.
Bass, did you mean THIS or THIS Powerstream?
Also, since I have your attention, what about this Enermax
I ask as it is cheaper.
Those OCZs are the same, just a different color.....
Look at the spec's for the 520W, 33A @ 12V.
As for that Enermax, it's one of those Dual-rails ones....I would not go there.
The Enermax EG651-VE is way better, but beware, it doesn't have the SLI videocard connectors, so you may need special inbetween-cables.
If you planning to build an SLI system, better go for the OCZ Powerstream 520W, the blue one, as that one has the SLI connectors.
Other then that, they are both the same
