K8N Neo-MS-7030+3000 !No boot SPD

Why won't this board boot with SPD timings on CorsairXL=(Low volt/tight SPD timings) ?
Let alone boot over 225HTT--->K8N Neo-MS-7030+3000 !No >225+boot
And there's more than one thread about this, but no solutions being brought forward.

I dunno about you, but my BH5 will definitely not do 225MHz on 2-2-2-11 timings with the voltages available to this board. You need to isolate the memory from the CPU to determine which one is the culprit. Drop the RAM divider to "133MHz" (i.e. 3:2 ratio) and crank up the HTT (don't forget to change the HT multiplier to 3x). Now test your RAM buy lowering the CPU multiplier to 7x, setting RAM to "200MHz" (i.e. 1:1 ratio), and increase HTT.
Oh and if you think your pissy attitude is gonna convince others to help you, think again. Maybe if you tried asking nicely instead of sounding like the world owes you a favour, you might've gotten more replies. Of course, now when you experience the same problem on your new Abit board, I'll expect you to show up at the Abit forums whining and bitching there as well, and just like here they'll ignore you because you can't be bothered to word your posts more carefully and more helpfully (like specifying what settings you've already tried). If you can't even spend the time to give everybody the necessary info, don't expect anyone to help you.
Classic case of PEBKAC.

K8N Neo-MS-7030+3000 !No 225+boot

Hi, had to register as I couldn't find any info about why this board will NOT overclock past 225HTT in bios, it just will not avit(goes into 'safe mode )
Running 2xCorsair 512xl, tried a 3200 and a 3000 cpu, which both have np's in my Abit board. It's got Bios 1.4/ good PSU etc etc. (loadsa of amps just incase ampman won't reply ..see I've read 100's of posts here trying to find solu))
I read before buying this board that it had np's going up to 300 HTT/FSB(the reviewer called it FSB) and said that he wished he had asked for a bios that would do 400, because he felt the board could easily do this.
If the board can do '400' why can't I get 226? I want more obviously but it just will not post past 225@any RAM timings etc.
My brain MHz , feel free to fire input this way.
Rem- it's skt 754.
Cheers peeps.

I can oc in CG so why not in Bios? and I can't get anywhere near the Abit's score on 3dm2k1 -http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8253653
Even at the same clocks.
Here's where I read about the high HTT/FSB -http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2036&p=6

BIOS 2.1 K8N Neo Platinum 7030

What about the latest BIOS 2.1 K8N Neo Platinum (7030) ? Is it safe to upgrade or should i stay at 1.7 (that really works great) ?

If 1.7 is working for you I'd suggest staying with it. (Always a good idea even if the new bios is stable).
I had problems overclocking with V2.1 (the ide initialisation hangs) and many others have complained about problems with more than one stick of mem.

K8N Neo MS-7030 Vista drivers

This is my first thread here, and I have a problem with my K8N Neo MS-7030 754 Mobo. I cant get my USB port to work at high speed, Vista won't let me use a Kingston 2GB USB for Readyboost, ( stick is optimized for Readyboost). Also cant use MSI mobo utilities, no driver found. Will there be updates for Vista driver for this board? Running AMD Athlon64 3700+, Nvidia 6800 agp, 2GB Corsair XMS DDR400, 400w Ultra PSU, LG DVD lightscribe, Lite On CD burner, seagate 80GB 7200 rpm HDD, floppy drive, Diamond 7.1 sound card, Vista Home Premium OS. New to system building, this is my first PC, trying to figure the driver issue out. Thanks.......By the way, does anyone know how I can get a MSI USB D-Bracket W/4 led read out, and the accessories for this mobo, like cables, CD, etc.

You have to wait for drivers to get released, very few are.
You're not the only one, many people complain about the same problems.
I just bought this board (MSI K8N Neo V2.0 H (MS-7030) NF3-250 Socket 754 ATX Motherboard), and expect it from Fedex any minute. I'd heard (in a thread at Anandtech Forums, where I first heard about this board - http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=40&threadid=2019857&f that nVidia was not going to support Vista with this board, and I'd assumed that it was an across the board thing with nforce 3 boards, but I may have been wrong to make that assumption. So, seeing this thread has raised my eyebrows and now I am wondering if I do indeed have to give up the idea of upgrading to Vista with this motherboard. What is the truth here? Has nVidia recently declared their non-support, or did I dream that up?

K8N Neo (MS-7030) problem with Gigabyte 6600

Hi,
I got a problem with my K8N Neo (MS-7030) and Gigabyte 6600 together.
I just tried to upgrade my system with the following components:
PNY 5700LE 128M -> Gigabyte 6600 256M (GV-N66256DP)
Onboard sound -> CreativeLab SB Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
Here is my order of installation:
1. Win XP with SP2
2. Chipset driver 5.10 (5.11 crashed during installation)
3. ForceWare 81.98 (I tried 77.72 from Gigabyte as well)
The system went blank during (3) and never comes back. In the last 3 days, I must repeated the above procedures over 20 times. I tried combinations of diffierent version chipset driver with forceware, but still no luck.
Audigy2 was sitting in the middle PCI before. However, I encounter a few system lockup during the first 10 trials, then I found a post say Audigy 2 should reside in the orange, or the one far away from AGP, PCI slot. Things seems better after this change.
More detail about my system:
MB: K8N Neo (MS-7030) BIOS is the latest version, 1.9.
RAM: Corsair Value 2 x 512MB PC3200
PS: Antec 380W
Video: Gigabyte 6600 256M (GV-N66256DP)
Sound: CreativeLab SB Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
Thanks
Alex

Hi,
My PSU is Antec True3808 (5V/35A 12V/18A 3.3V/28A)
I forgot to mention before. The CPU is AMD Athlon 64 2800+.
Also, I had enough of installation for now. I pulled the new 6600 and put the old 5700LE back in. Now, I installed everything without a problem.
Could it be not compatible? PSU issue? Or something else?
Any suggestion?
I appreciate any help.
Alex

K8N Neo MS-7030 Rev 1 - Promise Ultra133 TX2 Help

I recently installed the MS-7030 board, for some reason if I use my Promise Ultra133 TX2 controllers the board will not POST if the controllers have a HD connected to them. Before upgrading these cards and HD's worked fine so I know these are good. Any ideas as to why this configuration does not work?
Are there any other recommended IDE controllers for the MS-7030 board?
Thanks for the help in advance!

Here are the system specs
MSI K8N Neo Platinum MS-7030
Athlon64 3400+
Samsung CL2.5 DDR PC3200 (x3)
Nvidia MX400 AGP Video
IBM IDE 30GB HD (x2) RAID0
Sony CD-ROM
Dynex 350 Watt Power Supply (Best Buy Brand)
Promise Ultra133 TX2 IDE Controller (x2)
Samsung 120GB HD (x3) software RAID5
1.44 Floppy
At first glance it appreaed as if my power supply might have been underpowered just as you are thinking. So the first thing I did was to swap the 350watt power supply out for a beefier 500watt version. The 500 watt version is a CompUSA brand. I realize it's not an Enermax or Antec but the 500watt power supply has been used before to power a server that had the exact setup above except it had dual athlon mp's plus external HD bays for the RAID5 set. Currently the 500watt power supply powers my gaming rig which consists of:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
Athlon64 3000+
Radeon 9800 XT
Samsung CL2.5 1GB PC3200 (x2)
WD Raptor 36GB (x2) RAID0
Lite-ON DVD ROM
Pioneer 16X DVD+-RW
1.44 Floppy
Judging by the fact that the 500 watt power supply can power the above rig I surmise the issue is not a power supply issue. Also I flashed the bios to the latest and greatest version supplied by MSI which I believe was v1.9. As for the boot order I did check it and it is set to boot correctly from the primary HD. Thanks for the help.

HELP! K8n Neo Platinum (7030) 2.10 Bios -- CPU overheating

AAAAAH Someone help me!!
I just downloaded the MSI Liveupdate program, and Updated my Bios from 1.7 to 2.10.
With Bios version 1.7 I was running my AMD 64 3200+ at solid 35-55 degrees (min to max)
Now with this new bios version, my CPU runs at 57-72 degrees (min-max) !!!!!!
HOLY CRAP -- this processor is not even rated to run at temperatures above 70 degrees Celsius!!
I'm in the danger zone as I type out this message to you guys, and I'm worried I'll reduce the shelf life of my processor.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME??? I've tried changing All the settings around in the bios, I've even set the processor down to about 1.8 ghz, and it's still running at temperatures above 55 degrees...
From what I understand there is no way of removing a bios flash, is that correct? Am I stuck with this crappy 2.10 bios flash?
What can I do? Please dear god... help me.

Ok answers to your questions:
My board is a MSI-7030 (K8N Neo Platinum) And Originally I flashed the bios from 1.7 to 2.1 Via Liveupdate (MSI Live Monitor & Live Update 3)
- I read your faq on how to manually rollback the bios, and i rolled back to version 1.9 (which I had never had before)
and that did not seem to work. My temp is still at 68-72 C -- even in the bios.
A few questions I need to ask now:
1) Is the next step is to revert back to 1.8? Then if that doesn't work, back to my original 1.7?
-- also, 2) Who is Syar? Where can I get his version of the bios? --
Finally: 3) What is the CMOS battery? I know what the Jumper is, but I'm not sure what the battery is...
Is that the circular battery that's next to the BIOS Jumper? (maybe a picture would help..)
Thanks for all the responses so far! you guys are saving me from having a major emotional breakdown here.. I thought I was going to have to buy a new mobo.
I'll check back here on the forums in a few hours to see if anyone has responded,
(p.s. TY SO MUCH for caring enough to help a fellow hardware enthusiast!!! )

K8N NEO v2.0 won't boot after BIOS Update

Like a fool I just updated my BIOS using Live Update. Now my computer stalls just after "Verifying DMI Pool Data" I get a flashing cursor in upper left hand corner. I can enter the BIOS and have tried numerous settings. I have unplugged the computer and used the Clear CMOS jumper, but to no avail. Naturally MSI won't let me download a new BIOS file so I can reflash using a floppy disk.
My board has version 3.0 stamped on it.
What can I do? I need to get this computer working. Please help!!!

Do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed.
then see how its goes

BIOS CHip has following info on it: W7030 and NMS900

I don't know what version was on before. But theversion it loaded was listed as 9.0 After the flash it has the following listing on the boot screen:
K8N NEO V2.0 W7030NMS V9.0 020906
This sound strange, according to this the MSI Live Update flashed your BIOS to the same version.[or the Live Update is.. ]
Paste mainboard serial number. Example:

K8N Neo Platinum 7030 Problem

I have a K8N Neo Platinum and as of the past week my computer has been acting really strange. I has had random lockups that at first made me think it was the video card. That wasn't the case. I tried a different power supply and that didnt help. So I decided to take everything out of my computer. I had everything unplugged from the motherboard power, ide cables, etc. I noticed as I was taking everything out that I felt like I was getting shocked by my case but I don't know how because I had no power supply in my computer and all the cards, processor, memory were taken out. When I took the mb out i didn't feel the shock anymore, but when I put the mb back in the case and hooked the power supply back up to it I did. I even vacuumed out the case totally removing all dust and dirt. Am I missing something here? HELP lol

thanks for replying glenn after 2 days of hunting i can now say
90% sure the whining is from the powersupply
using my advanced hearing device i found a flaw in its design. before i would put it near psu but not hear the whine from there. well it occured to me to tilt it ever so slightly (tip from radio broacasting in college) to let the noise in but block any wind from crossing the end of my tube. and ch ching finally from the rear of the psu is where it is loudest.
ive owned 3 enermax and theyve been the best psu ive ever owned. but this weekend im swap it with my other and see if it still happens. it will probably take 2 hours total do it which is why ive put it off this long. ive tried bumping the wires around even though its a full size chieftech with all my watercooling gear its almost impossible to not have the wires overlap each other at least a few times. but with the moving around i did do it didnt help.

Severe Problems with BIOS v1.9 for K8N Neo Platinum (7030)

I updated to the new BIOS and nothing but crashes, so I tried to go back to 1.7, because everything was working fine with 1.7 and now, the BIOS is asking for a password, and I never setup a password in the BIOS. What the heck, now I have a $1000 (US) paper weight, thanks alot for the buggy BIOS update, now you can send me a new motherboard!!!
**Edit** Well I found a work around, went back to BIOS 1.5 for now until I can get 1.7 to work again, 1.8 and 1.9 are screwed up beyond belief, you can't set any overclocking features, RAM timings are messed, there is no choice for 1T/2T, currently I'm running at SPD on the DRAM and stock on all the CPU functions. I would really like if someone could test these BIOS versions before putting them up so stupid people like me update them. Also, leaving more choices than one BIOS update in MSI LiveUpdate would be nice, because flashing via the floppy drive is a pain in the butt, lucky I have an extra computer to use.**End Edit**

Do a floppy drive flash with the correct switches. Go back to the last bios that worked properly or try Pinochio's bios which a lot of people like. Liveupdate will mess up your bios. So can winflash if you do not use it correctly.

After you have read about it, do this using the correct flash utilty file name and the correct bios file name
"DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
Good luck.
