K8N Neo2-FX with AMD 64 3000 ethernet problem

I just recently installed windows xp pro 64-bit and most things are working fine except that it will not recognize that the motherboard has an ethernet adapter. The newest drivers are installed, and that is the extent to which my knowledge is based. Any help would be much appreciated

make a memtest cd and check for memory errors
if you're using a sata hd then make sure you have the correct drivers

The Venice core will be supported by the K8T neo2 shortly, I'm convinced about that, since Asus (I'm sorry to mention them) are supporting it already, with the same bios.
Even ECS published Venice-ready BIOS updates...

MSI K8T Neo2-FIR w/ AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice)

I am looking at purchasing the MSI K8T Neo2-FIR with the AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice). However, it appears that many have issues with this. I found a link to a MSI german forum that had a beta version of the newest bios but I have a few questions.
Would a german version work if i am living in canada (toronto)?
How can the bios be flashed if it doesnt recognize the cpu?
When will the new bios be released?

K8N Neo2 crashes with Windows 98

I have set up my computer with the configuration below, and installed both Windows 98 and Linux. In windows, the computer will periodically lock up and then about 10 seconds later the screen will go black. There is no option at this point but to restart the computer. While this often occurs randomly, there are several things that inevitably cause it to occur:
Modifying anything in CoreCenter.
Accessing the Nvidia tab in the advanced Display properties.
About 1 minute in to any highly graphical game.
Linux (Knoppix as well as Red Hat 8) Runs Fine, and I just recently got a trial version of Windows Server 2003, which I tried, and everything works fine under it as well. I have checked the drivers in 98, and everything seems to be installed correctly. Is 98 just not fully supported?

have u got a SATA hard drive? If so, I beleive (to the best of my knowledge) that Windows 98 wouldn't support a SATA hard drive very well

K8n neo2 running with 260 FSB ?

Hi !
Well, I have one question about the FSB and Multi settings.
first, my sys:
-K8N Neo2 Platinum
-AMD64 3500+ winchester
-OCZ 2x512 DDR (PC 3500 - 433Mhz) Ram
-2x S-ATA HDD Hitachi 160GB @ Sata 3&4
-550W PS
So, with some tests, I can found the fastest CPU-freq @ 2600Mhz with 1,58V VCore - testing with Prime95.
But I want the fastest clock for the rams, too. The Ram works with FSB 217, DDR200-setting in BIOS. Multi 11x. very well at 217Mhz...
first settings:
FSB @ 237 / Multi @ 11x / HT @ 4x / Ram set to DDR166.
So the effective CPU-clock is 2604Mhz, the ram is at 186 Mhz.
The setting works fine... but with very poor ram-clock...
(I had to set the ram to DDR166, because with DDR200-Setting the clock will be 237 which is too high and I can´t boot. )
2nd setting:
FSB @ 248 / Multi @10.5 / HT @4x / Ram set to DDR166.
The setting works fine... The Mobo shows a ram-clock of 208Mhz. The Tool "Clock-Gen" shows a ram-clock of 200Mhz...(I dont´know which is right...?) But: The Ram-Clock can ba 217Mhz, I guess..?
3rd setting:
FSB @ 260 / Multi @10 / HT @3x / Ram set to DDR166.
This setting crashes up while booting.... normally, I think, the CPU-clock will be 2600 (which will work), the RAM will divided down to 217 Mhz.
Now my prob: the CPU runs with 2604 Mhz, the RAM runs with 217Mhz - but why can´t I set the FSB to 260 and Multi 10x ?? PS: the system ist still crashing, when I set the Multi to 10x and try FSB to 250Mhz... ?
Does anyone know ??
Many thanks !

Just so you know, when you use dividers, your memory performance is only as good as the lowest setting. For example, I you have a system with ddr333 memory and a CPU with a 333mhz FSB your memory performance is as follows:
Memory Peformance:
133CPU x 133mem = 166CPU x 133mem
CPU performance:
133CPU x 133mem
As opposed to:
Memory Peformance:
133CPU x 166mem CPU performance:
133CPU x 166mem
The Kicker:
Memory Performance (first versus second):
133CPU x 133mem 166CPU x 133mem CPU Performance (first versus second):
133CPU x 133mem 166CPU x 133mem
I neglected to try overall combined performance like 3dmark01/03/05 but I was on a time budget at the time and only concerned with running a 4:5 divider as opposed to a 4:4 divider which my results gave me no increase (but no decrease either).
Therefore, you get no increase in memory performance when using dividers. I used sandra to verify this. I simply used my CPU and RAM in every different configuration I could think of and then ran it and recorded the results. Hopefully I remembered my results correctly.
Yes, you will see a CPU increase with dividers but you will not see a memory increase.
The Kicker Reiterated:
CPU Performance:
(133 CPU x 133 mem
Personally I think you should be happy with an FSB of 248 because that means your memory frequency is 198.4mhz which means you nearly have ddr400. How much of an increase do you think you'll see with 260FSB (208mhz memory frequency (increase of 9.6 mhz))? Personally I think you should be happy with 248 with a 5:4 divider.
ORRRRRRRR:
try benchmarking with a 216FSB x 11mult x 4htt with DDR200 versus 248 x 10mult x 4 htt with DDR166 and see which is faster. You'll do better on the first with memory and better on CPU with the second but the inverse will be the inverse. Then I would do an overall benchmark like 3dmark03/05 and see which had the best overall effect (I'm guessing it will be a somewhat close call but I never tried that... hmmm... something to try now).

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with Western Digital 750Gb Caviar Green 32mb

Hi all, this is my first post and im a bit of a numbskull when it comes to upgrading, thus this post.
My HDD is on its last legs and I want to get a Western Digital 750Gb Caviar Green 32mb. Im not sure weather it will work with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025). Can anyone help me out? If you have any suggestions for a better HDD to go for that would also be appreciated, Cheers

Burst speeds are high mainly because of the disk's cache. That's the only part of the HDD that can get near the maximum bandwdth of the controller.
The bottleneck for speed is in the fact that the HDD's mechanical properties won't allow it to work faster. With SSD's it is or will be different.
Back to topic: the WD Green is an excellent choice. I've 6 of those running here now, 5 in a NAS and 1 in my pc and they're simply good. Not the fastest, but very stable, quiet and fast enough.

K8N Neo2 riddled with the same problems as K8N Neo?

Hiya,
Noobie here gearing up for first build.
Ive been reading that the K8N Neo has had a lot of problems....
Is the K8N Neo2 Producing the same issues?
Proposed build in sig - Am i gonna run into a troubleshooting nightmare?
Thanks all!!!

What do you think of the Antec 480 TruBlu?
As mentioned you should look on how many AMPS the PSU delivers on the +12v rail.
And as we can see here it has 22 amps on the +12v rail. Not too little but then again not much. I see no reason why you should go with a more expensive Antec over the Tagan.
Comparing Antec Trueblue with Tagan:
Tagan 480W
+3.3v 28 amps
+5v 48 amps
+12v 28 amps
Antec TrueBlue
+3.3v 30 amps
+5v 38 amps
+12v 22 amps

Not to mention, it's under 20db most of the time

K8n neo2 palt. with cas 2 = no winxp boot

Hi, im havin some troubles with this mobo.
The mobo works fine for timmings configuration like: 2-5-2-2 or 2-10-5-5 or else. But if i try with 2,5-x-x-x or 3-x-x-x windows doesn´t boot, even at defalut HTT. My bios version is 1.B, but i tested with 1.5, 1.36, 1.8, 1.A.... also i tested with two models of memory geil ultra X (TCCD) and ocz platinum EL Pc4800 LTd edition.
My pc:
-Athlon 64 3200+ winchester
-Msi k8n neo2 platinum
-Termaltake pure power 480W butterfly / levicom 420W
-Asus V9999GT/TD
-Seagate 7200.7 120GB ATA
Thanks for your help!

Eltonio,
With Athlon64s the Memory Controller is handled by the CPU, it could be that is all what your CPU is happy with. Is it you are wanting to loosen the timings in order to overclock?
One other option for you is to clear the CMOS by pulling the Power Cord from the Power Supply and the Battery from the Mobo, leaving them out a good 15 to 20 minutes before putting them back in.
Take Care,
Richard

K8n neo2-f nf3 ultra board - onboard nic problem? Please post your experiences

I just ordered the k8n neo2-f nf3 ultra board, with a venice 3500+ chip, from newegg. I saw various posts on the mobo, however, from people who said the onboard nic doesn't work right out of the box, that they had to go in and manually enter the mac address in Windows that they retrieved from a sticker on the parallel port.
I can deal with a problem like that easily, but I find it hard to believe MSI would ship such a defective board design as that. Is this really the commonplace experience with this board? Please post your experience with this board if you've used it or had experience with it

Okay I typed my address under the "network addapters" and I still do not have any internet access. I even tried to reboot...and nothing. My computer knows when I have a cable hooked up to the port. It will tell me "network cable connected" or "network cable unplugged." I hooked up my netgear network card and I was able to get online.
Should I be messing with the "authentication" tab and/or the IEEE 802.1x setting?
My windows 2k computer has a broadcast "node type" while me K*N Neo2 board does not have a line for node type (under ipconfig). Also my XP computer does not have a line that will tell me the values for: DHCP Server and DNS Servers. It also has a no value for the default gateway line. It DOES have a value for the "Connection Specific DNS Suffix". It is for comcast.
I hope all this is not too confusing. I was trying to list all the questionable settings. What should I try next?
Thanks!
Well, if you're wondering about the 'dhcp server', 'dns servers', 'default gateway', etc., that is all in the 'Network Connections' folder which can be reached from the Control Panel. To get to those settings, you right-click on the 'local area connection' that corresponds to the onboard lan, and click 'properties'. Then, select 'network protocol(tcp/ip)' in the list of networking components and click the 'properties' button. That will bring up the set of tabs where you can set those properties (although there is no 'dhcp server' address setting, just the option to either specify an address or use dhcp to automatically assign an address).
I get the impression, though, that you're saying if you slap in a pci network card, it connects right away, so I doubt any of those settings are needed (unless you left out the part about going into the tcp/ip settings for the pci nic and specifying an address, etc., which I doubt you did). Have you considered contacting msi tech support on the problem? If it's a new board, I'm sure you're entitled to free tech support. It seems like, with all of the chatter on these boards over this issue, they should be well aware of it and be familiar with the ways to 'fix' it.

K8N Neo2 Platinum with 512 MB or 1GB DDR? Which amount do you suggest?

Looking for personal experience and feedback as to whether or not its worthwhile to go for 1GB of DDR rather than my current 512 MB DDR. Also if there is a correlation between stability and DDR ram amount, I'd be interested to hear of it.
If my PC is the following:
1. Enermax CS-656-TA ATX case (Case fan, USB x 2 , audio I/O, Firewire x 1, temperature readout, fan speed control and 350 PSU all for only $77!! Of course, I used the 350 PSU in my fathers PC and for this PC I'm using the PSU below)
2. Enermax 420 watt noisetaker PSU (one of the most efficient) One case fan that came with and one Antec automatic with thermistor
3. MS XP Pro upgrade with SP2
4. MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum socket 939
5. AMD64 3000+ winchester 939 CPU (to be isntalled using Artic Silver)
6. OCZ Premier Dual Channel 2 x 512 MB PC3200 DDR (OCZ4001024PDC-K 2x512M PC3200 Kit 2.5-3-3-7)
7. ATI 9700 Pro AGP video card (I plan to underclock it when not in use for 3D games. I may upgrade to a 9800 Pro (preferably R360 core) or a 9800 XT or nvidia 6600GT. Whichever video card I get, I'll be underclocking it when not playing 3D games etc.
8. Mitsumi 1.44 MB floppy and card reader via USB 2.0 (only card reader is USB 2.0 connected)
9. Seagate 7200.7 200 GB SATA HD x 1 (may keep WD 80 GB EIDE but no need)
10. LG 4163B DVD RW - EIDE
11. Plextor 24/10/40 CDRW - EIDE
12. Adaptec 2930U SCSI card;
13. Pioneer 303S SCSI drive and; (dormant. Won't be used except to test and compare its read performance with the other two drives before selling)
14. Umax 1200S SCSI scanner
15. Onboard sound, apparantly not great
16. Onboard LAN, nForce 3 LAN is ok but second LAN I'll not use it
So how much difference would I see with using 1 GB of DDR memory vs 512 MB? For what applications?
thanx

MY K8T Neo-FIS2R with AMD 64 3000+ auto shuts down

I have run this system for several months with core centre all
arms going off when playing graphic intensive games (Call of duty, Counter strike etc).
I have added system fans to cool the machine sown, and this seemed to work ok until three days ago when the alarm was followed by a system shut down!
I can see no obvious problem displayed in core centre, but suspect that the alarm is CPU fan speed related - I am running the AMD supplied Heat sink& Fan assembly.
Anyone have any ideas why this problem has suddenly got worse?

Is this a BIOS/Core Centre issue or CPU fan or maybe a PSu shortfall since the problem only manifests itself when CPU is under high loads?

Hi mcihael ,
Thanks for the tip about Fanspeed. I have seen it around but never thought i had a need of until now.
I must admit that having all of these extra applications supplied with the motherboard can get a bit confusing - the only real use that Core Center has been to me was the alarm going off letting me know that something serious was wrong!
What's your opinion on case fans? Should they be EXTRACT, INTAKE or a mixture? Most people i read about say exhaust fans are best to take away the hot air, while others claim intake fans help keep a flow of air around the CPU cooler.

KT3 ultra2 with amd barton 3000+ problems

Ok so I upgraded from a 1800+ to a barton 3000+, and im having problems running the chip. Iv set the fsb to 166, the ram to HCLK, tried running with just one stick, it runs for about 5min then restarts. Any ideas?
System specs
Msi kt3 Ultra 2 (newest bios 5.7)

2x 512 pc3200 ram, one stick is kingston other is OCZ
Sound blaster Audigy
Enermax 365 watt pws
20gb maxtor hd (lol)

Well if you purchased an Athlon XP 3000+ which is a 400mhz chip and are trying to run it at 333mhz instead of 400mhz that might be the issue aside from the fact that the KT3 Ultra2 does not support that chip so it could also be a bios issue.
I retract a little of that. There is an Athlon XP 3000+ 333mhz chip. But are you sure this is what you obtained? If not that is your problem.

K8N Neo2 wierd boot / AMD driver ?

I just put this rig together and am still fiddling with things. After playing with Corecenter and Speedfan and CnQ, and having Corecenter alarm continuously after installing Speedfan, uninstalling Corecenter, wondering if CnQ was working, etc., I ended up installing the AMD driver 1.2.2.2. Things worked okay but when I reinstalled Corecenter it still alarmed continuously (I never could tell why or how to silence the alarm other than closing Corecenter). I decided to uninstall the AMD driver to try to get back to my original configuration. During the reboot after the uninstall the system acted a little funny. Once in the Windows boot the screen went black and then back to the boot screen three times, and then went black and then back on while in the Windows screen before finally settling down. CnQ would not work after this so I re-installed the AMD 1.2.2.2 driver. Everything now works, but the weird boot up still happens with the screen going black several times in the process. Also, when I go to Advanced settings in the Display Properties/Settings the computer seems to hang for several seconds, then the screen goes blank, comes back on and then displays the advanced screens.
BTW, my goal is to have a QUIET computer that will still perform okay for the games my kids play on this machine.
I have a couple of questions related to all this.
1) Is the weird boot up and blank screen when going to the Advanced Display Settings related?
2) Can I uninstall the AMD driver and go back to the Windows driver (that did allow CnQ in the first place)?
3) Finally, I would prefer to ditch Corecenter and use Speedfan. During all this at some point Speedfan displayed info on my video board (voltages, temps) but does not show these now. Is there a secret to getting Speedfan to report the video info?
Thanks for any help or insight you can give. I have spent hours looking over the forums and have learned much!

Well, I think I've sorted most of this out now. The weird boot up (blank screens) seems to have cured itself so I will leave well enough alone. I'm still tinkering with Speedfan, and after perusing a bunch more threads on that, I think I am reporting the graphics card temps.
