K8N Neo-FSR - SATA?

hello, in case I missed the information I apologize . I got the K8N Neo-FSR and I want to ask if there is four Sata support on the board. I have noticed that on the board and also on your homepage-pictures there is only support for two Sata (Sata 3, Sata 4), but in the manual there is support for up to four Sata.
Is it four or two Sata support on the board?
Thank´s

Can I run single sata drive on them without pata drive
- Yep just plug it into either socket.

use the rest of sata drive (140gb) normally?
- No. if using raid it's preferable to use drives of same model (so that they share operating spec) & size so that no wasted space.

K8n neo-fsr stops for 10 seconds during windows startup

k8n neo-fsr with bios 1.3 and winxp sp2. Never tested anything else.
200gb seagate sata drive connected to the sata4 plug. Only drive.
In the beginning of windows xp startup it stops for at least 10-20 seconds before it continues? Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

Raise the vcore a bit. and the meory voltage one.

K8N NEO FSR - wont detect HDs on first powerup (daily)

I'm having this strange problem ever since i installed this Motherboard.
First time I boot up(daily basis), it does not detect the hard drives.. any of them...
I get to the point where it notices my memory timings and says "Detecting hard drives.." (or something like that) and it just hangs there. I hit ctrl-alt-delete (also if i power it off then back on it works too) and when it comes back its fine.
Anyone had this before? Could be there's a quick fix but before I start to pick the system apart I wanted to check here first.
thanks

OK here are some specs:
AMD64 3200+ (Newcastle) - no OC
Generic 3200 DDR ram
MSI K8N NEO FSR (latest bios)
BFG 6800 OC (modded)
primary controller (ata) has: Maxtor 6Y060P0 & WDC WD800JB-00DUA3
secondary controller only has DVD-RW drive.
Sata controller has ST3120026AS
Same setup as in previous motherboard.
I guess i'll just need to check the cabling is secure once again, to be sure.
it seems this is not a common issue so most likely i can find something wrong other than with the mobo.
thanks

K8N Neo-FSR compatibility?

hello!
I want to buy a new motherboard K8N Neo-FSR for my computer-CPU AMD 64 2800+ (1800MHz) ADA2800AEP4AP Clawhammer family: F, model: 4, Stepping: 8, Ext.Family: F, Ext.Model: 4, Revision: SH7-C0, 2xDDRAM Apacer 512MB UNB PC3200 CL2.5 P/N: 77.50739.15G, sound card Herculles Gamesurround Fortissimo 2, tv card ASUS TV/FM 7135, HDD SATA Seagate Barracuda 200GB model ST3200822AS, DVD RW Benq 822A and DVD ROM Benq 16/50, graphic card Sapphire Radeon 9800SE 128bit 128MB, keyboard Microsoft Multimedia Natural and Microsoft Intelimouse Explorer 2.0A wirelles USB. and i ask if will be this board compatible with all of these components, cpu, memory etc.
thanx for your answers and sorry for my english, i am from slovakia

V,
You have to research yourself each componets to figure our if it is suitable, especially your memory. Look for compatibility listings at various OEM web sites.
Your overall plan is OK but I question your selection of a first genertion AMD 2800 Clawhammer for your CPU. The Clawhammer is a 0,13 u core CPU with an older an less flexible memory controller. Scrape together a little more money and get yourself at least an AMD 3000/3200 + Venice or San Diego AMD CPU. You will be very glad you did later on.
Good luck,

Tjena Rikard! You have to describe your system in some detail.
Some famous culprits:
- Other PCI-cards.
- Poor or old Windows installation.
- Weak PSU.
- IRQ problem.
- A combination of all or any of above.
The network card is not a PCI-one, but integrated to the motherboard. Only card in the system is a PCI-E graphic.
Maybe poor or old windows, might try that...
Shouldn't be weak PSU, It's pretty good, I've been told.
IRQ?

S3 mode doesn't work fine on K8N Neo-fsr since overclocking, please help!

I have a K8N Neo-FSR (MS-7030) BIOS version 1.6 (I tried 1.4, 1.5), running AMD64 2800+ SK 754, 2x 256MB DDR400 Kingston valueram pluging in slot 1&2. It runs well except S3 mode .
Since I overclock HTT (everythings else have their own default values), S3 mode seems to work so crazy . After wake up from this usefull stop-grant standby mode, HTT is given back to its original speed, 200MHz, without notice (?!) .
You know that I don;t like this much, do you?
Who responsible for this function? Mainboard or CPU? If it's mainboard, which department will be sentenced, BIOS or chipsets/ICs?
Could anybody give me a solution to achive higher speed by overclocking without giving up using S3?
Thanks so much!

It's a bad new! I had bad feeling about DFI with the same problem, S3 mode resuming bring FSB back to df and even sometimes led the system to the ruin. But upgrading bios solved this issue. My old Abit did S3 mode fine. Now I have a new MSI and once again I must use teknophyle's way or slow hibernation instead.
On the same occasion, I wana ask about some shortcoming in 1.6 bios: power on by keyboard/mouse and power led options. I only found S3 wake up by keyboard/mouse but not keyboard/mouse power-on options! There is power led option in version 1.56 but it disapeared in 1.6. Now my mobo has no signal to differentiate between sleep and power-off. would you give back the useful power led option and add power on by combination keys in the near future bios version, syar? Look forward to hearing some good new from you :D.

K8N Neo-FSR doesn't boot

Hello everyone
I got my mobo (K8N Neo-FSR) more than 6 months ago, and worked without any problems until today.
First of all, I made a BIOS update from 1.7 to 1.9 using MSI Live Update. No problems to report, the computer worked after that for several hours. Then I turned off the PC. And the next time I wanted to turn it on, it didn't boot.
Here's my D-Bracket message :
This corresponds to "Initializing keyboard controller"
The problem is that apparently it has absolutely nothing to do with my keyboard, as I tired changing it.
Clearing CMOS didn't help.
Any ideas how I can fix this? Or should I contact the support?

Before you answered, I tried to check the RAM. As a matter of fact by removing one of 3 memory sticks the computer worked. Later I figured out that if I lower the RAM frequency from 200 MHz to 166, all 3 sticks work perfectly well.
Now the question is : WHY THE HELL DID THIS BIOS UPDATE MESS UP MY RAM??? Weird.

Who have v1.56 bios for K8N Neo FSR,give me please.thx

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.

Article says K8N Neo has SATA frequency locking problem

This article says that the K8N Neo has SATA frequency locking problems when overclocking:
http://www.nforcershq.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1801
First of all, is this true?
And if it is true, do we have a BIOS that fixed this problem.
My drives are PATA right now so I currently don't have any problems but I plan to get SATA drives/adapters soon.
I'm running 240 HTT (1:1) so not having the SATA frequency locked could be an issue.

Well, I´m running HTT 230 now, and I´m always using my Raptor as OS disk. Haven´t had any problems yet (with my disk). It´s connected to s-ata_1. Haven´t tried the other ones.
But sometimes when I boot (200 or 230HTT, doesn´t matter) I get artifacts on the boot screen and in Windows, so I have to restart.
Could it be a partially working AGP-lock? It seems as at works most of the time, but sometimes not... Strange... AGP is set to 66-67MHz

K8N Neo-FSR ~= K8N Neo Platinum

May have to replace my motherboard - a K8N Neo Platinum. Have seen the K8N Neo-FSR, from its spec I assume it is the same, apart from only 2 rather than 3 Ram slots?
Thanks

K8N Neo FSR Bios overclocking functions help needed

Hi all, I am a small pc builder for the family and i have found some problems with the bios of my uncles K8N neo FSR which I recommended for him. Basically it wouldn't seem to overclock with the 'Dynamic Overclocking' function on bios v1.7 but did manually by adjusting FSB incrementally (ie from 200 to 205 Mhz). When I questioned this before someone had mentioned that it could be ok to run like this. However I have since updated the bios to v1.9 and even v2.1 as they became available but now neither seem to overclock manually nor using 'Dynamic overclocking'
Firstly though, can someone clear up my first conception; To test if the Dynamic Overclocking function is working can I set it to a higher setting (ie.'Commander'), save and exit bios (restarting) ---> go straight back into bios ----> go straight back into Cell Menu and check 'Current frequency of cpu' has changed?
I only ask this as if this is the case then my Dynamic Overclocking function hasn't worked with three bios' and I wont bother with anything until I RMA the board lol, as I have never been able to change the frequency of my cpu at boot/bios stage with the dynamic overclocking function.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Stu, yesterday I think i found out what u mean lol. I studied a 'Sticky' ? about overclocking A64s and found some interesting stuff. Apparently overclocking the HTT is dangerous, and A64s are always at least half locked. Now with this in mind Ive been wondering if there are interlocks built into my mainboard stopping me from using the 'CPU Overclock' function to overclock my pc manually from the set 200Mhz while my HTT is still set at 4x. -I say this as the HTT on my system is 800Mhz for a socket754 Sempron 3000Bx, thus overclocking this would increase my HTT above the 800Mhz threashold (I think) lol. All sounds complex but I think Ive figured it out as Im following instructions from the sticky to lower my HTT multiplier before increasing my cpu overclock. Its hard as my mainboard has Nforce3 chipset which has different ways of overclocking to every other board lol. So far I have managed to increase the overclock, but only when the HTT multiplier is lowered to 3x. I have also lowered my cpu multiplier though, and thus am trying to figure out where my 1810Mhz clock speed has changed to 1630 lol. Will try again now. I want to raise the clock speed above 1810, keeping the HTT lower than 800 and leaving the memory alone at 400DDR lol. Im hoping the memory is seperate as it seems to be on this chipset.

Does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile chip out of the box

just like the titles says
does the K8N Neo-FSR support the mobile clawhammer out of the box.?
if not what bios would i need,. or can anyone confirm what bios is being shipped on these motheboards now.

Jim,
From what I've read, there are updates to the memory controller and the addition of SSE3 support to Venice. It's also reported to have some performance improvement over Winchester and Newcastle. It will use a default 1.4v VCore. Hopefully, It's power comsumption is on the same order as the 90nm Winchester's or less.
If Monarch is shipping the combo with available Bios, you can bet they work. I'm thinking of giving them a call on mine to transfer the 2yr warranty to my youngest daughter (it's a graduation gift) and to discuss the Bios 3.3 vs. 3.3B3 issues. They shipped mine with B3, and I think there may be a reason. The B3 works great with a simple WPCRSET patch of the CAS to RAS Delay. That's why you see those memory settings working on mine.
On the "boxed" vs. OEM, I think buying the combo with warranty and a better heatsink is a much better choice. Use the Venus 7+ in my specs. It's low profile, all copper, and one of the highest rated. Monarch has it in their configurator. It's as quiet as AMD's. Monarch also gives you a 30 day free return with a Fedex prepaid shipping label in the package.

K8N Neo-FSR v2.0 + Sempron 2800+ E6 = No Go?

Hello!
Wanted to assemble a rig for playing around with Ubuntu 64-Bit, so I headed out and obtained ...
... a MSI K8N Neo-FSR v2.0 (7030-20C, shipped with BIOS 5.10)
... a AMD Sempron 2800+ (Palomino, Step E6)
Upon power-on it refuses to POST ---> 1 continous beep
If I recall the AWARD beep-codes correctly this means that the CPU failed to initialize.
Troubleshooting steps:
- Stripped down to board + CPU + 1x RAM + GFX -> No Go (1 beep)
- Stripped down to board + CPU + 1x RAM -> No Go (1 beep)
- Stripped down to board + CPU -> No Go (1 beep)
Meanwhile I tested the CPU and RAM in in another S754 board a friend borrowed me ... both work fine.
So this leads me to the question:
Does anyone has a clue what might be wrong here? I don't have greater experiences with nForce boards so my knowledge about them is very limited.
Thanks for helpful suggestions.

This is the latest bios version of the 5X bios series (and should be a safe one since yours is currently running with 510).
http://download.msi.com.tw/support/bos_exe/mbd_bios/7030v54.zip
Don't know if it will add support for your cpu though.
Well ... as the changelog of the BIOS isn't exactly informative we would only know if I could get the board to POST so that I would be able to flash.
This however isn't a valid option as the board keeps on beeping upon power-on.
Quote from: syar2003 on 27-August-06, 20:29:14
Theese 7030 boards have become unbelievable hard to track as there are so many versions released now.
ref: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=688
This page also lists another bios series to use 1X and 9X series
In addition it lists 2800 E6 Palermo as NONE (which means not verified/under testing)
Direct link to many 7030 boards bioses are also gone .
You're right --- I did some more investigation yesterday and became award of the "too many 7030's" issue. The one I'm referring to is actually the one you linked at (K8N Neo-FSR V2.0).
As the sticker on the flash reads v5.1 I assume the board is PCB rev. 1 ... as the 9.x BIOS seems to be for PCB v3.0 only.
Took a look through the CPU Support ... and ... WTH?
Only Turion CPUs and one A64 (step E6) is listed as compatible?
Guess we found the showstopper ... either the board or BIOS seems to dislike the E6 Sempron then. Hmm ... guess I either return the CPU or the board. It seems as getting a Turion would be the better choice as the shops in my area don't have anymore AGP S754 boards (and the same goes S939 boards). I only need a rig to play with server setup-scenarios of Ubuntu 64-Bit and no powerhorse for gaming or such.
Thanks for pointing me to the CPU support list ... I would have never dared to imagine that a board will only run with a limited set of AMD CPUs ...
