K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 XP 3700 heat question

i did do a quick search on here before posting this question but had a load of varying answers ... so
i have a K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 an xp 3700 and core centre says the chip is at about 45 - 50 degrees when the pc is idle
this is with the stock fan that came with the chip and ive also tried a samurai heatsink and fan .... ive reseated and reapplied artic silver and also tried thermal pads as well and the temp on the processor always comes back as 45 ish degrees
is this normal as the pc seems to run ok and even after round of doom 3 the temps only seem to hit about 55
are these chips hotter now or is it a bios / thermal temp issue
cheers guys
ohh and nice forums BTW

yup, issue with temp reading -> 1.43 beta bios for K8N NEO pL.  for me 36-39 idle 42-45 after a doom3 session

  • Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 with MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40)

    I am interested in Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM. Currently, I’m using MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40) with AMD 64bit 2800+ & MSI MS 8907 FX5200-TD128 AGP Card.
    Please advice whether the Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM compatible with my systems.

    The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode. The BIOS safe mode lets you un-do any overclocking or memory settings that might make your computer so unstable that you can't even get into the BIOS settings to change them. In that case, you hold insert while powering on to reset the BIOS to default safe values.
    As for your problem getting into Windows' Safe Mode. If you upgraded from another motherboard that uses a different chipset, or if you somehow got the wrong chipset drivers installed, then the old AGP GART or chipset drivers will cause the system to halt/reboot very early in the Windows boot process even in safe mode. I've run into this problem before and its tricky. Best thing to do is switch back to the old motherboard, then go into safe mode and remove all chipset-related drivers, and then switch back to the new motherboard. If you can't do that, try running system repair from the windows setup CD. And failing that, you'd probably have to fully re-install the OS.

    Thats what I said, didn't know the socket 754 board(my current board) support s939 platform...it would be cool though
    Or maybe the same fixes apply to the Neo2 and they copy 'n pasted the info..

  • K8N Neo Platinum Bios 1.3 Question

    This is bit of a dumb question..... I am not a noob either, been building computers for 6 years.
    I have a K8N Neo Platinum with AMD64 3000, 1 GB Corsair Value Ram, 160 GB Western Digital ATA Drive, ATI 9800 Pro 128MB Catalyst 4.7,   LG DVD Drive and NEC 2510A DVD burner, Windows XP Pro with SP 1a.
    Tried to get into Safe Mode the other day ( to uninstall the video driver with Driver Cleaner) ...Hit F8 while booting , got the standard menu for safe mode, picked the standard "Safe Mode " option....then the computer restarts.
    So I can't get into safe mode    
    I went back to the MSI website to get bios version again....then I saw this for Bios version 1.3 which I have on my board....  
    Quote
    System reboot to safe mode when "Insert" key pressed
    Does this mean, instead of hitting F8...you hit the insert key , or does this mean hit F8, chose the menu selection you want , then hit insert while it is going through the boot process.
    Thought that I would ask?    

    The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode.

  • K8N NEO Platinum BIOS 1.8

    I updated to this, only to find my machine would not boot to Windows. This, presumably because it was using 1T when, with two double-sided DIMMS, I require 2T. I couldn’t find anywhere to change that setting.
    I noted on the boot screen that it was a workstation BIOS, and the flash utility is 859G rather than the usual 833C.
    Got 1.7 on there now.
    Have other people had trouble with this?

  • K8N Neo Platinum BIOS 1.4 temperatures

    When I upgraded my K8N Neo Platinum from BIOS version 1.3 to 1.4 temperatures jumped up by 7 to 10 degrees and average vcore dropped by about .03 volts (both read from Core Center).
    Both readings reverted back when I switched back to BIOS 1.3. I'm just concerned as to which is more accurate. I was planning on doing some mild overclocking on this system, but if the 1.4 readings are right (51C idle) then I don't have much room.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any idea on which temps are more accurate?
    My system:
    K8N Neo Platinum (socket 754)
    A 64 3400 (Newcastle)
    Enermax 550 watt power supply
    Thermaltake Venus 12 CPU cooler

    If you check around you will see, especially as applies to Neo2s the temp numbers are all screwed up. With all prior bioses my computer showed temps ranging from +175 to -128 irrespective of load.
    This is especially irksome as I am vapor cooling and know from an external temp probe I installed right on top of the heat spreader on the CPU that I am running well below zero even under full load.
    I cannot comment on the 1.41 bios yet because my board decided to blow up a capacitor last week and I haven't received my replacement yet.

  • Official, non-beta K8N Neo Platinum BIOS when?

    Hi,
    I see a lot of beta 1.5x BIOS releases for K8N Neo Platinum. Anybody know when the official release will come from MSI???

    yes but its also wrong to assume tha beta BIOS are unstable.in fact most these days are rock stable hence the fact they become official.

  • 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

    1.48 BIOS
    Fixed some mobo cpu can't boot issue.
    But i found one weird thing
    When you set 1.60v Vcore in bios, you will find CPUZ only reads 1.55v
    and if you set 1.65v in bios, it reads 1.60v
    what's going on?
    CPUZ vcore value is VID setting,It is not real voltage.
    i dont think so .
    CPUZ always reads correctly with prevous Bioses.
    and the value set in BIOS  :   CPUZ readings
    BIOS          CPUZ
    1.5v            1.45v
    1.55v          1.50v
    1.6v            1.55v
    Which BIOS did you find the issue,1.48 only?
    How about 1.47,1.46?
    yea, 1.48 only.
    now i am going back to 1.47.
    I can't find the issue in my system.
    Did you clear CMOS after update BIOS?

  • NEW K8N Neo Platinum BIOS *OFFICIAL*

    Version 1.6 is out. get it while its hot! Doesn't look like anything major....but hell I always give it a try.
    1. This is Award BIOS release.
    2. This BIOS fixes the following problem of the previous version:
    - Update CPU ID.
    3. 2005/03/10
    Update: I flashed my BIOS and everything is running great. Temps are about the same or Maybe SLIGHTLY lower with my 3200+ clawhammer. I turned back on agressive timings because it was giving me bluescreens before to see if it will work now. So far....RUNNING GREAT. I don't OC(college) so somebody else can report on that.

    When are they ever gonna sort out the bios for maxtor diamond max 10 16 meg cache ncq drives i got 2 of them and i need something done, i cannot be the only ser having troubles with, this board and maxtor ncq drives, what makes it worse it=s both these drives are showing signs of being damaged now. The 300 gig is making some rather strange noises, linke a pinking sound every couple of seconds, until i fromat it again, and now the 250 gig, J partition is freezing, locking, crappy performance issues, and i cannot format it using windows, it starts, but locks at about 75% busy scanning for bad sectors now, and i expect this to stick@75% as well, surely both hardd drives cannot be broken, from 2 different copanies, its the board killing them.
    MSI get your RRRRSSS ito gear and test these max 10 ncq drives with your hardware, then actually do something to make them work, for gods sake they are just hard drives, and on a side note, if anyone from maxtor ever views this, or if your thinking about buying a maxtor drive, answer my emails you morons. Go back to school and learn to read, then you could reply to the emails. MAxtor support sucks.
    somehow, I doubt the motherboard, which is only attached via a IDE cable, is causing your drives to destroy themselves.  

  • K8N Neo Platinum Bios Prob's - Resloved!

    Hi,
    Am just posting to say a big thanks to this message board for helping me sort out my bios issues!
    I'd gone on live update, and in a windows enviroment (yes I know....) updated my motherboard with the w7030nms.190 bios.
    Well, it failed quite badly - the pc booted up after restart, and then shut down. After that, it wouldn't boot at all, so following the FAQ's from here, created a boot disc (3.5") with the flash and bios. The flash would not complete.
    So following on from the tut's, I wiped the CMOS by changing the jumper settings, re-made a boot disc with the .170 bios, and all turned out well. Cheers for the tut's,
    Dan.

    The whistle goes WOO WOO!

  • K8N Neo Platinum BIOS Problem

    Hello
    My motherboard had the BIOS version 1.6 until I realised it couldn't network boot properly (just got a screen full of smiley face characters?) but if I upgrade to any later version I can't seem to enter the BIOS setup at all - I just get a flashing cursor in the top left of my screen. I can load my OS but when it comes to changing the boot order etc. I'm stuck. Has anybody else had this problem / know how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance
    Luke

    It's using a newcastle rev. GC , and i have never gotten it to work with the "new" bioses .
    Problems just having it to post , just like you have .(last tested a 2.x version of bios)
    ( a totally new bios line was from all versions released after 1.7) .
    I have it using a self made EasyBIOS based on 1.5B6. See no reason to ever upgrade it again as it runs just fine as is .
    Users with semprons and cpu then having a rev.E stepping may be the only ones needing a newer bios for this board
    All others having either clawhammers or newcastle cpu's should stay at 1.7 or a lower one is my personal meaning.
