K8N Neo2 Firewire 400 problem

I just got the MSI K8N Neo2 Mobo which has a Firewire 800 plug on the board. The salesperson told that there was a cable with 2 firewire 400 plugs included but this was not in the case. The distributor here in Denmark doesn't have this optional plug and won't take it home.
So my question is how to get hold of this plug ?
Please help!
Thank's

the k8 neo fisr2 comes with 2 firewire ports both 400 speed one is a mini 4 pin the outher is a standard six pin.
the mother board does not come with firewire, it does come with 1 floppy, 1 ide ,and one d bracket, as well as a sata power adapter , and 2 sata cables,
the neo2 looks like it comes with the same cables, although i am not sure about the number and type of ports.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=608
but i would suspect they dont have 800 cables out yet as the number of devices that is actually firewire800 are still very few except for a few external drives.
But one place to look is any store that handles apple computers, they seemed to have adopted 800 more.

K8N Neo2 Platinum overclocking problem

Quote from: Sharp on 24-April-05, 06:04:48
Hello,
In the BIOS you must set the FSB:DRAM ratio to 1:1.
Set the HTT (hypertransport Ratio to x4)
Set the CPU ratio to x4 (just too see if it will work.)
Set the FSB to 250Mhz
Set the Vcore to 1.45v.
Set the memory timings to SPD (or default values for DDR500)
Set the memory voltage to 2.7v, 2.75v or 2.8v.
Save and exit
Then let it boot from the memtest bootdisk.
Use memtest to see if it is ok, test for a long time, over 1 hour.
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.55.1/memtest86+-1.55.1.floppy.zip
Tight timings and high FSB is even better
I have the same problem I can go as high as fsb 219 without tweaking anything but the FSB. My system is about the same only my ram is ddr 400 so what should my mem volt and timg should be set to?

K8N Neo2 strange power problem ...

My specs:
K8N Neo2 Platinium / Athlon64 3500+/ Antec Neo Power 480W/ 6800GT Winfast/ 2 x 512 MB Kingston HyperX PC3200
Everything works good but i have one strange problem with my comp ...
When i turn off system and then i will turn off power supply (Antec Neo Power 480W) my comp is unplugged (no power).
Then when i turn on power supply (switch on Antec Neo Power 480W) immediately my comp start to live ! But ! There is no system booting ! Only what happen is fans on CPU, mobo, Graphick card and other fans starts working, my neon lights start flashing etc ...
Then when i push start button system starts booting ...
The problem is seriuos, coz when i turn off my comp and then in the night they turn of the power and then they turn on the power in my home my comp will start to live ! Fans start to works, neons starts to light etc !
I'm sure i have correct plugged every wires to my mobo ( i'v check few times with an intstruction).
What the problem ?

i called .after stateing my issue i was quickly told to rma the psu. :biggthumbsdown:i called again dreading not haveing the use of my computer for more than a day .and was told this is an issue with abit av8 mobos and msi neo plat. 2.there tech team was currently testing this issue.i was told wo email [email protected] with system specs and issue.i was also told
there was no reports of hardware failure caused by our issue. :undecided:that was monday and no reply yet.the support person told me that this was a circuitry standard that was used on the 2 different mobo. i love the power supply.i hope this issue[i know its small]is resolved easily.ive always used antecs products and never had any kind of problems.i still recomend them as well as msi.

MSI k8n Neo2 Platinium Stutter Problem

Hi
2 weeks ago I upgrade my system from AMD2500+ to AMD64 3000. And problems started. My first MOBO was k8t NEo2. I gave it back because of stutter. Everybody said that was PSU problem and I changed my PSU to TAGAN 480W and MOBO to MSI k8n Neo2 Platinium.
After a Fresh winXP install, SP2, nforce drivers and nvidia drivers. I test the system with Flight Simulator 9 and stutter is there
I tried lots of things. Uninstalled all pci cards. checked irqs, used pci latency tool no success.
Any ideas?

turn off any virus checker for a start
Theres a heck of alot of things that can cause stuttering..
turn off agp fast writes, turn off cool and quiet, turn off dynamic overclocking, ensure up to date gfx and platform drivers, ensure you are not overheating, what temps have you got on cpu and gfx?
do not run corecenter or any other background app that might have bugs in it, check the cpu usage of all running tasks, something might be spiking and causing stutter.
what drivers are you running with (list all)
is it only when playing networked or standalone too? what directx have you got installed? have you run memtest86 and checked your memory? are you overclocking at all? are you overclocking too much?
what are your benchmark scores for 3dmark 03? do they compare to others with similar spec?

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum RAM problem

My spec:
AMD64 3000+ Venice
1gb RAM Elixir
1 x Maxtor 120gb IDE
1 x Maxtor 200gb SATA
1 x Maxtor 200gb IDE
ATI Radeon x800 pro 256mb
I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard, the problem is that when I try to add in another 512mb stick the system won't even boot up. I have tried other brands and amounts but still to no avail.
I boot the system up and the monitor won't even switch on, but if I take out the 512 stick it works fine.
Any ideas?

Not quite.
Use the color codes .
If you have matched sticks in density (size) and timings (spd data) you can run dual channel.
This means having one stick in memory channel 1 ( green ) and another in memory channel2 (purple )
Theese are physically wired next to eachother on the motherboard , from cpu and upwards..
You can not do that , with that mismatched modules the cpu can't initialize it's memory controller .
So your only choice is to run two modules with single memory channel config .
Use the colorcodes to make sure you use signgle memory channel config (since you have mismatched sticks and the A64 memory controller cant run those in dual mode)
So your choice is to use either both green slots or both of the purple ones .
Place the one module with the higest cas rating (slowest) in the green slot with the lowest slot number (marked on the board) .
And the other stick on the green slot that remains .

before they werent raid'ed and every thing was ok, now i raid those 2 160gb seagate, and when all is connected, it stoppes to respond.

Don't know if this helps, but your getting it anyway
When installing windows don't have any Hard drives in front of your raid array, assuming that's where your putting your OS . Unplug them whilst windows is installed. This is due to the fact that windows places %systemdrive% as the first drive it sees (e.g 1'st master) , meaning it will be C: and hosts the os boot files .
(Taken from Syar2003)
Therefore if installing your raid on Sata 3/4 unplug all IDE Hard Drives plus SATA 2/3.
Once windows is installed Plug 'em all back in
Luck

K8N Neo2 Hang Boot Problem

First of all here is my configuration
Athlon64 3500+ sk939
MSI K8N Neo2
2x512Mb DDR400 VData
Asus V9999GT (Geforce6800GT)
WD Raptor 72Gb 10k SATA
Maxtor 200Gb SATA
I have two different type of problems:
1. Sometimes the boot hang up in "Detecting IDE driver" section after the DVDRW detection (probably when is looking for SATA storage unit)
2. WindowsXP boot stuck for 5-10 min with black screen and next boot up normaly
I've tryied a LOT of different bios settings, XP driver combination... it looks like that the second issue happens more frequently after nForce chipset driver installtion, but surely i cannot ignore them!
Anyone can help me?

Are you using Nvidia IDE or Microsoft IDE driver ?
Nvidia IDE give some people problems - Test uninstall / install Nforce driver and uncheck Nvidia IDE.
Also be sure that all your IDE devices are healthy.
If nothing else of the "ordinarie" solutions helps.....
Remove any high powered case-fans that are connected directly to the MoBo´s 3-pin connector and connect them to the PSU 4-pin molex.
This happened to me once - Hang on IDE detection / long time before booting XP - Removed a Titan 120mm case-fan from
Mobo 3-pin - Booted perfectly.

MSi K8N Neo2 platinum: Power problem?

Hello everybody, I'm from vietnam
I have bought a K8N Neo2 Platinum with AMD3000+ (venice, E6) + PSU Acbel 300W (I thibk that it' enough, because I just use this machine for everyday co). But I have a bug:
I shutdown my PC, but I don't disconnect it from the electricity, then, i can start it again.
I shutdown my PC, but I disconnect it from the electricity, then, i cannot start it again- the system starts, the fans move, but just that. i have to clear CMOS, then, the PC can run normal.
I have flash BIOS to the newest (V1.B), but it can;t help!
Thanks a lot for your aid!

i think you need a new PSU.

K8N Neo2 and 6800 Problems

System 3500 939 cpu K8N Neo mainboard 6800 Nvidia Card 1024 Ram XP PRO SP2
I have tried various Drivers 61.77 67.03 65.73 71.20 66.81 66.93 71.24 and many things listed on various forums to stop my computer from crashing 30 seconds into a game. At the momment I have formatted my hard drive and only have Mainboard drivers , video drivers & Directx 9.0c, Colin Mcrae & UT2004. Games still crashing. I have installed 3 diferent video cards ASus geforce 2 , MSI 4200 TI and Radeon 9800 pro all 3 cards run perfect on my system except Asus and 4200 Ti are slow with frame rates. Otherwise no crashes and lock ups. As soon as the 6800 goes back in my system all games crash. Took my card to a friend who has a n force 2 Gigabyte board and my 6800 runs perfect. One thing I noticed on my system was with an older version of DirectX it took longer for my games to crash.
Any help would be appreciated but after all this I think I will never buy Nvidia again, my previous systems I have always had Via mainboard chipsets and have never had a problem. What a big mistake I made this time!

Okay thanks for your replys disabling fast writes did nothing to fix my problem or changing any settings in Riva tuner like alot of people on other forums were saying.
I have now seemed to have fixed the problem and it was such a simple solution I can't believe I hadn't tried it before I'm kicking myself!
My LCD monitor display likes to be set at 1280x1024 okay well guess what I had never tried running a game at that resolution. So in my game resolution settings when I set it to 1280x1024 I have no lock ups or crashes. If I change the resolution either on my desktop or in the game settings it crashes. I can't believe I never tried it before. Thanks everyone I will try different resolutions now.

FireWire 400 problems...

I recently purchased a WD 500gb MyBook, and the firewire port on my macbook doesn't recognize that the device is connected.. I've also tried a Maxtor 250gb external HD and it also is not recognized. I've tried connecting the mybook via USB and it is instantly recognized. Any suggestions on how to test the firewire port on my macbook? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I am having the same problem with my MyBook 320GB Drive. USB is fine and firewire gets me nowhere. I have tried about everything with no luck. I don't think it's the port because I was able to get the firewire connection on my Ipod to work fine. I called Western Digital and they said that I probably have a bad firewire cable and they are sending me a new one so give them a call. I doubt that it's really the problem because I already tried another cable with no luck. I called Applecare and they tried to tell me that the drive wasn't supported and I should order one from the Apple Store. When I told them that they sell the MyBook line of drives they told me that Western Digital could possibly have a newer driver. Oh well at least the USB works for now. Here is what I have tried so far http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=947477&tstart=15

K8N neo2 plat Temp problem

Was wondering if anybody else has came across this problem or not. The Bios is reading cpu temp and sys temp at 44 and 43 C. While Temp monitors in windows such as pc alert is reading the the temps at 126 C. Bios Was just updated recently so its running 1.8. Probaly wouldn't have noticed but the pc started locking up during game play. So I started checking different areas and came across the temp difference.

Quote from: syar2003 on 23-May-05, 23:44:28
PcAlert isn't compatible with K8N Neo seies .
It screws up the corecell chip data (so don't ever use it).
Use SpeedFan , Motherboard Monitor (MBM5) , MSI corecenter , for readout through windows.
I thought I might add that in my personal experience corecenter is inaccurate with +12v rail, everything else seems to read the same between the 3 mentioned programs though.

K8n Neo2 Plat Audio problem

Of course, no one in this forum has had the audio problem that I have, so here I go.
I just installed the Neo2 Plat. Only card im using is the video card. I get no audio. I use the s/pdif ports only. I can use either the optical or coax, but i need to use one of those 2 only. The only way I can make my spkrs make a sound is by setting the spkr config to 7.1 and that only gets me sound out of the front 2 spkrs.
I have the Klipsch Pro Media 5.1 with their Dolby Digital Decoder. I have a 2nd computer hooked up to this, hence why I need to use a 1 cable audio solution. I know everything else works, b/c everything was working fine when I was on my Abit NF7-s, and the sound works fine from the other machine.
My audio source was not a 2ch source. I was using the auido test, and 3d demo test in the realtek software. If i choose the 5.1 setup, i get no sound at all from any spkr. but if i choose 7.1, when i run the tests, only the front left and front right spkrs get sound.
I havent tried the realtek drivers yet from their site, so far Ive only used the MSI provided drivers from live driver.
I have another problem, with the Gart driver freezing the system at the Win XP loading screen, but Ill save that for another post. But if u know what I'm talking about, and know a solution and/or forum link, feel free.

"The sound worked with my NF7-S". You have a problem! That has the soundstorm APU with hardware dolby digital encoder - hence 5.1 support from a single SPDIF connection. Havn't you heard of the complains about Nvidia ditching the soundstorm APU?

Did I call you an idiot? No! I was informing you of why you can't get 6 channels down a single SPDIF WITHOUT dolby (or DTS) encoding. As far as I am concerned this is a well know fact everyone accepted PRIOR to the arrival of the soundstorm APU. Selecting 6 channels and testing them works with the analogue outputs, just because the test is there dosn't mean Dolby encoding is present and you can get 6 channels down the SPDIF!
Here is a link where a solution to losing soundstorm dolby encoding is discussed:-

K8N Neo2 Platinum install problem

Hey guys - just got my new Neo2 Platinum board and my Athlon 64 FX55 in. Unfortunately - its not working to my liking. I hooked everything up properly, installed my vapochill and had everything connected. I turned it on, vapochill powered up, began to cool to the negatives. At -10c computer turns on to nothing but 2 second beeps every 2 seconds. So, i turn it off, figuring it may be the memory, take it out of CHB and put it in CHA. Turn it on, works fine. I get into the bios and it sees 1gig of ram, yet only recognizes single channel and says its at 133mhz and at extremely loose timings. The memory i have is G.Skill PC4400 rated at 2-2-2-5 at PC3200 and 2.5-3-3-7 at PC4400. Samsung TCCD chips - i've seen many reviews with this board and it has worked perfectly. Either way, i went to try and lower the timings and it rebooted and got nothing but beeps again. So i turn it off, attempted to reset CMOS - and turned it on. Vapochill cools to -10, then tries to turn on the rest of hte computer. At that stage, it can't turn the rest of the computer on. I tried even unplugging power from the vapochill and hooking up the mobo as if it were a regularly cooled computer - no boot. I then tried to jump the PSU to make sure i didn't blow it - it turned on. Its an OCZ PowerStream 520W and the green light came on and fans were spinning. So right now i'm stuck in the mud and i'm really anxious to get this rig up and running. Please let me know what to do!! Thanks!

I have found this board to be with low latency memory. My CAS 2.0-2-2-5 -1T only runs at CAS 3.0-3-3-10 2T
:(

K8N Neo2 SATA Raid problem finally solved

Hi guys,
finally got my SATA Raid 0 array to work.
Problem was that XP didn't find a correct array on installation although i used F6
to load drivers from disk. Sometimes it didn't detect any hard disk, sometimes
it showed two hd's and an array and so...
The whole spectrum of errors mentioned here over the last days and weeks...
I tried different bios like 1.1, 1.2, 1.2b5, 1.3b5 and i got the newest drivers
directly from nvidia as mentioned in some other thread. Nothing worked.
One should think that nvidia would have the latest drivers... but that was the
major fault.
As mentioned in a different thread i downloaded the unified nforce drivers from
nvidia's homepage and extracted the ide drivers to a floppy. I used these drivers
in all of my attempts and it never worked..
Yesterday i downloaded the MSI Nvidia nForce3 System Drivers package 5.03 from
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=607&kind=1
and compared the version numbers to the files from the nvidia package.
The relevant files nvatabus.sys and nvraid.sys are version 5.10.2600.412 from
nvidia while the MSI versions are 5.10.2600.446 !!
I put these files on the disk, set up my bios (default 1.1) from scratch, started XP installation,
hit F6, loaded the new drivers and voila... one 230 gb array ready for installation
Took me FOUR days to figure this out. THANK YOU MSI support team,
wherever you are.... (definitely not working on an updated hp)
So to put it in one line:
What really worked for me were the drivers from the MSI nforce3 driver package 5.03
No messing around with beta bios, no voltage tweaking or SATA 3/4 preferred
or DIMM Slot preferred crap.
Of course you have to set up an raid array as described in rsheppicks raid setup guide
Only thing about bios versions is that only in bios 1.1 i got an array shown in the
hard disk boot priority list
So i hope this helps you guys out there that are having troubles setting up SATA Raid.

OK now! Dag, I was going crazy. I had two brand new Raptors and was trying to hook them up in a RAID 0 config. I am no dummy. It would hang at detecting arrays. I could not figure it out for the life of me. I will not talk about all of the combos that I tried. My buddy told me to try datalifeguard from WD. I did. Well, one HD showed no serial number in the extended test. An error message popped up. Said the drive was not working. So, Newegg sends me a dead drive and wastes days and days out of my life. I hooked up the one good drive just now. What do I see? For the first time in my life, I am seeing the raid bios! This almost cost me a divorce. Seriously though, the wife would come in and rub my shoulders like a fighter after a few hours of getting my azz whipped by this new rig. I am now going to make the floppy with the newer drivers like was done here. Just incase. I am in Raid bios now in the other room. Time to go set up XP on one drive for now. I refuse to wait for the RMA'ed second Raptor.
