K8N Neo4-F - i think i have a problem

sorry for my lack of knowledge but the little fan on my mobo will randomly speed up and slow down kinda like it gets random boosts of power. then sometimes when im playing a game it will remain smooth. is there a problem? i dont know much about hardware. plz help.

The fan will spin at a certian speed depending on the temperature of the chip. Example: at 20degrees the fan spins at 2000rpm and at 30 degrees the fan will spin at 4000rpm. This is normal.
k thx i appreicate the help that took a load off my back. at first i thought id have to go get another MOBO.

I got my iPhone 4S and I think I have a problem with it. Sound when locking and unlocking is quiet compared with other iPhone 4S. I compared it with others and really is a little quiet. Other people have confirmed it too. Other sounds may be better. No problem tones, watching videos. This problem or is it something normal?

I have this problem too, but it is intermittent. Sometimes the lock/unlock volume will drop to barely-audible, even though in settings the volume slider hasn't changed. If I then move the volume slider, it fixes the problem and the lock sounds jump back to normal, but then later on the problem will happen again.

K8N Neo4 (non SLI), does it have dual core support?

Hi, I've got a few questions:
- Can I install an AMDX2 4200+ processor in my K8N Neo4 non-SLI motherboard (model MS-7125)?
- If I can, do I have to update my BIOS? I bought this board in March of 2005.
- If I have to update my BIOS, how can I do it? I don't have a floppy drive, and the Live Update thing doesn't seem to be working.
Thanks for any help.

Hmmmkay here...
Well, I tried to find the USB legacy support, but I looked in every menu and submenu and I couldn't find it. Also, it turns out that I gave some misinformation--the USB options for boot are FDD, ZIP, and CD. Not even support for a HDD!
So, I'm back to square one.
Can I flash from a floppy...? I can probably get my hands on one if needed.
Or even better, is there a way to boot the flashing app from a CD?

in BIOS, ---> "Integrated Peripherals" ---> "USB KB/Storage Support" and Enabled it. then "SAVE AND EXIT" , hit F11 or F8 during post, then choice USB-ZIP, or USB-HDD and boot from it.
"misinformation--the USB options for boot are FDD, ZIP, and CD. Not even support for a HDD!"
choice USB-ZIP.

I think I have a problem with Mavericks: can anyone help,please?

A couple of days ago I installed Mavericks on top of my existing Mountain Lion OS. Not before I backed up the ML version with Time Machine, though.... :-)
Initially I thought everthing was fine, but then started to notice a few things that bothered me, which have not gone away. In fact, I think this install is now a potential problem. Unlike many other people, elsewhere on this forum, I have not noticed the calamitous slowing down and general unusability of Mavericks. I'm using a prety new i7 iMac ( the new flat one) with 32 GB of RAM.Everytihng worked great with Mountain Lion. However, The following anomalies have cropped up: Mail is taking over 30" to send a simple email. In ML it was almost instantaneous. I feel that Mail is not performing as it did in ML, and the same goes for Safari. It "feels" odd and slow and can take an age to load up pages. In fact one particular page would not load properly at all, but worked fine in Firefox. In the end got it to work in Sfari, but ithis type of behaviour doesn't instill confidence. Things got wierder...
An update to iMovie got " stuck" in the dowload process,and was perpetually downloading in Launchpad. It kept oscillating from approx 61 MB to aprrox 84 MB of a 1.94 GB file. Then I did a disk utiltiy test of my system drive and it suddenly stated that the drive need repairing. I booted up in Recovery Mode and tested the drive, which came back all clear! I booted up normally again and now the disk utility won't even complete a full diagnosis of the drive!It will diagnos all my other drives fine though.... :-s It keeps getting stuck on: Checking Volume Bitmap, and won't go any further. So, I did what some other person did on another thread, which seemed to clear up his problems; namely: simply reinstalled Mavericks from Recovery mode. This did not improve anything for me. The same issues remain. In fact as I type this, I notice that I'm using nearly 23 GB of my 32 GB of RAM, and all I have open is Safari, Disk Utility and Mail ! To quote Hans Solo: " I've got a b-a-a-a-d feeling about this..."
So, this is my long-winded way of asking: what shall I do? I would like to boot in Recovery Mode and reinstall my back up from an external drive. Does anyone have any advice about this,please? If I restore from my backup, will I actually get the ML OS back on the computer, or will I be stuck with Mavericks trying to impose itself ,as some people reported? I do want to use Mavericks, but not in the condition it's in right now. Also, really don't want to perfom a clean install and migrate everything over from the Time Machine back up....
Thanks for any advice.

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

I think I have same problem as AshleyEH1124 but

The forum doesn't let me reply - it says "Welcome Guest" inside the thread and doesn't let me reply. Then when I leave the thread I'm still logged in
Since updating to iOS 8 (I think it was 8.0.1?) my iPad prompts me to activate several times a day. I enter my Apple ID and password, I'm prompted to switch WiFi networks (why?) and activation fails. I power the iPad off, turn it back on again and then I can activate, which takes a couple of minutes usually.
I upgraded to 8.1.1 but the same thing kept happening.
I tried turning off "Find my iPad" - the only thing I'm using iCloud for - and although I was again prompted to activate, I didn't have to do so in order to continue.
Any ideas please? Thanks for any help.

Think i have a problem with my Video card help ???

Hi Guys
Ok reason why i think this i currently have a black screen
I can still use the mac via screen share from my G5 so i know all is ok & i am currently making sure i'm backing up
I have tried to connect it to an external monitor but the mac doesn't register that there is one there
One other strange problem i can type ok but i cannot use my trackpad while i am in screen sharing mode
Any help would be great
Thank You

Well it's either your graphics card or the inverter for the screen I'd guess - either way the only people who can fix this for you are Apple.
The fact that it doesn't see an external monitor would suggest it's the card ...
I know this might sound like a dumb question but you have turned the brightness up fully and tried a PRAM reset haven't you ?
Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

APPLE I THINK YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.

Brand new 8core x2, iMac x2, MBP15 x8 - Keynote 08 crashes on all of them!

K8N neo4 platinum /sli & msi 6800gt video card problem.... urgent help!!!!

I simply can't get the video card to work in the firts PCI-E port, however if the card is in the second port it works fine without the D-bracket locking the PC. Does someone know why this happened?, is the motherboard damaged?, or is there a solution to this problem?
Note: D-bracket is indicating a Memory detection test problem, but as
I said if the Video card is in the second PCI-e port the PC works fine
Plase help does someone knows why this is happening?

Could you add the list of your components to your signature (e.g. power suppy, memory, etc).
I am assuming that the SLI connector card is firmly in place and set for non-SLI operation and
that the video card only works when inserted into the slot that what would normally be used
by a second SLI video card. Is this correct?
Have you tried resetting your BIOS?

K8n neo4 platinium, any hope for a software controll of SB fan ?

Hello there
Like some other peoples here i have a k8n neo4 platinium and think than its northbridge fan is REALLY noisy.
What is the trick with this Northbridge fan ? I have to buy a normal one that doesn't rotate at 23235564rpm, when i already payed extra for "platinium mobo" ? Olders mobo of that line HAD the option to change nortbridge fan rotation, newer don't, is that product improvement?
Do we even have an hope of MSI realeasing some magic bios with the an unlocked option or did their "engineers" decided than it was better to have max speed hardwired ?
Also just because i had to say it:
-Some time ago i already didnt liked when they wanted us to get new power supply (because of additional connectors) to be able to run the new proc.
-There is also this trick with CPU fan, what is the story there? they make up crappy fans , then we have to void the guarranty to put normal ones instead, and no contructor decided to sell "something" that could go in place of amd ones without getting us to void the guarranty? (am i paranoid or they WANT us to void their guarranty)
-MSI itself as well as some other vendors start to sell mobo with proprietary expension slots , with no other reason of being there than to be able to sell their third party product (it s not faster, nor easier to get working not, nor a chipset or the HW constraint of only having 3 pci slots), i mean i really don't like this kind of "marketting techniques".

MSI should offer a tradein program where you could mail in the old NB HSF, and theyd send you a better one. That would be service.
they do. just search the forums please. there are many people who sent back their fans for a less noisier replacement. however, most go with aftermarket ones.

I Agree, and find it sad that no one at MSIs own support forum hasnt answered this thread for +120 days :(
read the forum rules. there are no MSI employees on this forum. this is a user to user forum.

Maxtor 6Y160MOSTD 160GB DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA/150 -- on -- MSI K8N Neo4 Plat...

Hello there... I have a Maxtor 6Y160MOSTD 160GB DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA/150 on my MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. I've had this problem before but it wasn't important enough to report until now.
I have the latest BIOS (1.B)
Now... I did have a dual boot - XP and Fedora Core... then I decided since Linux would only install the base text system, to get rid of it. I formatted using Windows disk manager. BUT the GRUB MBR was still on there. It resulted in an error. So I took my winXP disk and popped it in. I tried to first repair the MBR. I used the command BOOTCFG DEFAULT. that didn't work. So without thinking I decided to reinstall XP all together. When It got to the restart, the GRUB was still there, therefore didn't boot. Well what I ended up doing is trying the repair again. Used the command FIXBOOT - didin't work. I tried agian. Repair - found the command FIXMBR DUH! So I ran that and it recognized that the original MBR had been replaced. So I fixed the MBR and rebooted. XP wanted to install. So I let it. I came back some time later and found out it was stuck on "Initializing Devices...". At first I thought it was the graphics card. b/c linux had problems before probing the graphics card. I decided out of the blue to swap my 160GB HDD for a smaller PATA 2.1GB HDD and installed XP seemlessly. The obvious reason: XP couldn't detect the hard drive. The reason this is confusing is because I installed XP before on my HDD and no problems. I tried figeting with the chords, switching SATA slots. No luck. I really wanna know whats up with that. Help PLEASE.
Did I leave some info out?

Have you tried to download the Firmware for your HDD? Maybe you can refer to this site ==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=profile;u=77029

What Temperature Monitor Programs to use? (K8N Neo4-F V1.0)

What program do you recommend to monitor temperatures.
I have a K8N Neo4-F V1.0
I have been using CoreTemp, but when I use MSI's Core utility or SPeed fan, or MBM, they all read lower the Coretemp.
Which do you recommend.?
I would think MSI's Would read the more accurate would it not? Or should I go with CoreTemps temps?
There is quite a difference in temp readings.
I am OC'ed to 2.5 Ghz, on a 3700+ (Stock 2.2)
When running SP2004 on Blend Tests I get a difference around 10 Celcius between Programs:
Under Full Load in SP2004:
MSI Core, Speedfan, MBM: 35-37 Celcius
Core Temp: 45-48 Celcius
IDLE:
MSI Core, Speedfan, MBM: 28-30 Celcius
CoreTemp: 36-37 Celcius
This is all on Stock Cooling. I am just trying to decide what temps to go with as I OC.
I would think MSI CORE would be reading Accuratley no?

I use speedfan to monitor my temps. Its reading are very close to what is shown in the bios.
I've read that coretemp reads the actual temps in the die, not just using a sensor on the board, which provides a more accurate temperature apparantly.

Considering the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

Hello,
I'm currently deciding whether or not to get the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum, and I just have a few questions.
1) How beginner friendly is it?
2) Does it take a lot of work to make it run or can you just plug everything up and the system will run fast and stable?
3) How stable is this board? I've heard that MSI boards were unstable, so how stable is this specific board?
4) I know this board is good at gaming, but how about office work like using Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.?
5) I plan to keep this system for at least four years, will this motherboard give a lot of trouble? And how reliable is it?
5) Can ya'll share your experiences with MSI?
Thanks for any help.

Is the MSI website http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb where MSI names the board as "K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI" incorrect? It wouldn't be the first time a typographical error occurred.
If not then the OP may simply have not had enough room to enter a complete description.
No it is not incorrect, I am staring at the box mine came in. It says Platinum Edition-K8N Neo4/SLI, there is also a the non platinum version K8N Neo4/SLI and the non-SLI K8N Neo 4
anyway,

Maybe I'll get the Platinum SLI edition instead so that I can upgrade later to SLI without having to buy a new card. If I do get the SLI I'll use a single card for now and put in the second card later when it's needed. Does the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI have any problems with running a single video card in non-SLI mode? And I've noticed that the SLI edition doesn't have a x1 PCIe or x4 PCIe slot, is sacraficing these two slots (as well as a regular PCI slot) worth it for SLI capabilities?
to answer that question, no it does not have problems running a single card in non SLI mode. It runs like a champ. I pernonally would not use the extra PCI slots, so to me SLI outweighs scarificing the extra PICe slots.

Anyone get 2gb Memory to run at 1T in K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI MB?

I recently upgraded to 2 GB Geil memory in my new K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI system (not the system listed in my signature). I cannot get it to boot if I set Ram to 1T.
Has anyone been able to run 2GB at 1T in this MB?
Thanks.
fafner

Thanks all for your comments.
I have the Geil Value 2x1gb dual channel kit. It is rated at 3, 4, 4, 8. I can get it to run fine at 3,3,3,8 at 2T. I cannot get it to boot at 1T with either the rated settings or the faster settings. It will boot at at 2.5, 3,3,8, but is not stable.
I can exchange this kit for a higher quality kit, but I don't want to do that unless someone else has had success with runing 2x1gb in this Neo 4 Platinum SLI board.
The memory I have runs at 1t in my K8Neo2 system as my does my Kingston Value RAM (2x512). It so happens that I have 2 Kingston value kits (total of 4x512), which I could try but everything I have read says it will run at 333mhz with four stix.
My experience has been that the K8N Neo2 Platinum is more accepting of value memory in general than the K8N Neo4 Plat/SLI. I have also read that getting any 2x1gb kit to run at 1T in the Neo4 Platium/Sli board is impossible or at least nearly so. That is why I am looking for soneone who has success (or no success) with 2x1gb sticks at 1T in the same mb as mine.
Net I want to get the best 2gb configuration possible but onle one that someone already has experience with (since I can only exhange the Geil kit once).
