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?

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+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) 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

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 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.

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.

No power on Socket 754 K8N Neo Platinum 7030-010

Hi, all -
I've stripped the system down to just:
Neo Platinum part MSI-7030-010
AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (Socket 754) - retail, so original AMD HSF
512MB Corsair XMS PC3200 - half of an original 1gb TwinX pair
Dual 74gb WD Raptors in Raid 0, but tested with them detached.
Lite-on DVD burner (I misremember the model), but tested with it detached.
MSI Fx5500 AGP vid card, but tested with it pulled out.
No overclocking at all.
Standard PS2 Mouse and KB, though I also yanked those and tested with no better results.
This is sitting in a case that came with a QMax 330W psu:
+3.3 - 28A
+5 - 35A
+12 - 16A
+5VSB - 2A
-5V - 0.3A
-12V - 0.8A
"+5/+3.3 total 200W max"
"+5/+3.3/+12 total 330W max"
The whole system has been working juuuust fine since last August.
I built the rig for a friend, so here's their story - it suddenly started making a funny noise (thought to be PSU?) and the top of the case (above the PSU) was hot to the touch. Powered down and went to dinner. Later, it will not power up. You push the button, and there's NOTHING. No clicks, no temporary fan whirs, nothing. You could hear a pin drop.
I tested the PSU as far as starting it up, and it does start, but I don't have the equipment to test it for voltages. I tested the mobo as far as shorting out the power switch jumper with a screwdriver, and NOTHING. I also plugged in another psu that I had sitting around, with the same results. I was able to get the 2nd PSU to start while still plugged into the mobo, and the "D-Link 2" LEDs start at 4 red, and stay at 4 red.
My biggest clue is that manually shorting the power switch jumper on the mobo does nothing. I have entered an RMA request to MSI, but if anyone else has any thoughts, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks!
Rob

Thanks for the resource!
Two others I've read claim that I need no more than 300W under full load. I'll have them replace the PSU anyway.
MSI approved the mobo RMA, though, and I just disassembled the machine. Turns out that the stock AMD HSF - the one that came with the CPU - which I attached with the heatsink goo that came with the CPU - has cemented itself to the CPU. I "gently" pried the hsf out of the socket and it took the CPU with it!
I can't get the CPU off of the heatsink without some serious work.
Has anyone run into THAT one before?

K8N NEO MS-7030 with 2x1GB DDR400

what is the preffered combination to use with this motherboard ?
ram on dimm1 and 3 / dimm2 and 3/ dimm 1 and 2 ?
Thx

Quote from: kakarocht on 04-April-06, 09:51:09
If you're going for dual channel then DIMM1 and DIMM2 (Green+Purple). Also up the RAM volt to 2.75-2.8V. Gd luck
There is no dual channel on the 7030. It doesn't hugely matter which slots you choose for the RAM on this board; I have mine in 1&2, and that works fine; I benchmarked with 1&2 vs 1&3 a while back, and it didn't make any significant difference.

K8N Neo Platnium 7030-- Power Issues and Keyboard Issues

Hey,
This is my second computer that I've built and Im a little anxious to get it up and running. I finished a few hours ago and cant stop thinking about it. This may be a very small problem but I cant figure it out.
Actually there are 2 small problems.
1) When turn the power on and then off I have to flip the switch on the PS before i can turn it on again.
2) It starts up perfectly but stops on the platnuim logo without recognizing my keyboard. I press tab and del and nothing happens.
I have cleared the cmos, tried different keyboards, unplugged most of the commponets and put them back, taken out the memory. Oh and my Ata 133 hard drive is making a noise like its working hard or somthing. Another thing is I currently dont have an i/o shield (Still waiting for msi to send one).

Beyond stealing all you friends keyboards for a couple hours and testing them all, sounds like a short. Especially if you cant get a PS2 or USB keyboard working outside of the case, thats just not good at all.
I'd clear the CMOS and take out the battery for a couple hours and unplug the Power Supply to make sure nothing was getting voltage from anywhere.
Then I'd toss the battery back in, and flash a new bios version (beta 1.41 or 1.51) using an automatic batch file from a boot floppy, reboot and then try again with a PS2 keyboard. If that didn't work I'd RMA the thing. Good luck
Oh, I've built a bunch of A64 boxes with that case and power supply lately, no way that is your issue unless the PS is actually broken. In fact, I just built one as my mothers Christmas present today, they work just fine with the MSI Neo 2, no way I'd give my mother something that I didn't trust, I would never hear the end of it
