K8N Neo4 Plat (non sli) Device manager error !

guys:
need some help. as stated,, have just received a k8n neo4 plat (non sli). just installed win xp pro (many thanx to people on forum for good tips on coming up clean). i have 1 problem, i have 1 item in device manager banged out (!), its a "PCI Memory Controller. i have nothing on mobo cept 1 6600 gt video card, 1 stick mushkin 3200 dram, i maxtor 200gb sata hard drive. searched on msi's site for this driver and can't find it. any ideas on what i'm missing?? sorry for not having rest of sys specs in sig but just got this puter up and running and i would like to get this driver installed before i pack it in for night. thanx for any help on this one.

igmox:
thanx!!! standalone drivers did the trick. when i was puttin this puter together i downloaded the standalone drivers and extracted them onto a cd. when i booted, anything in device mangler that was banged out, i updated the drivers via the cd. this time i downloaded the standalone drivers, ran the exe (unchecked the ide drivers, since i'm gonna try and run 6 dvd burners) and viola,, driver found.

Grimster i agree totaly with jeanguy, you need around 25-30amps min on these boards, so try a mates psu.
Do I really need more than 18a with my system? How much money (ballpark) in US dollars do you think a adequate PSU for my rig would cost???
I am really thinking of just takeing it back and getting it replaced with the same mobo and see if that works.

MSI neo4 plat(non sli) sound problem.... and other problem...

hi
(sorry for my poor english)
FIRST ISSUE
ok here is the deal, i got no sound when using the rear panel of the mother board... but when i use the front panel of my case there no problem and i get sound....
after reading a lot on sound problem i try first to change my bios so i check the 1.8 and the 1.6 but still no result... , i also try to use the nvidia sound drive instead of the raitek one.... but still nothing ... in the system all appeare to be ok, windows dont detect any conflict on hardware on so one... even the nvidia mixer equaliser move... but no output...
i also read a litle about the compatibylity issue betwen the mobo and the atx2 PSU standard with the using of the 5v pin...,but as far i read it seem that this is only on the sli version...do this issue also concernt the non sli version ?can this explain my problem ?
SECOND
i got from time to time a bleu screem with the message DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL.... can someone now what can cause this ?
thank

Hi!
I am also facing this problem with my K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra.
I have even tested my PC with a PSU which is having -5v in it's rating.
I have also requested a help from MSI Support.
Their & My reply is as follows.
But still my problem could not be solved. My sound card as per the OS works fine and produces output. But no audible output for humans to hear.
This is the case with both front and rear panels.
I have even sent the MB for RMA but here in India, people are fools. Even from RMA the board was shipped back in the same faulty condition. What to say? Whom to curse? Only money and 20days were spent waiting for repair and in wain.
If any body can help it will be very nice.
Here is my reply to MSI:
My K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra - earlier was giving good quality sound output. Later after 15 days of using this board, it does not give any audible sound at all. But through headphone socket of cd player I am able to receive good quality sound.
And also while using CD Player to play audio tracks, the output is very intermitent and feeble with lots of cracking noise and poor quality audio is heard.
Through Windows Media Player no sound is heard at all.
I reinstalled win2000/Win2000Server/Win2003 XP Server. In all the platform sound problem exists. Any solutions?
My PSU has 20amps in +12V rail and has no -5v. 24 pin adaptor with 400W.
SATA HDD 80GB WD. 256*2=512mb DDR 400 Ram.
CPU AMD 3000+ Winchester core.
Thanks in advance.
REPLY FROM MSI:
Dear SoftWheels:
Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
With regard to yoru concern, we would like to know before the onboard sound function abnormally, if you have made any adjustment to your system hardware or software?
And at this time would you please try to un-install the sound driver in the Add or Remove Program, then install the ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers refer to the link below, after this please first check if in Device Manager there is any yellow mark.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=637&kind=1.
AGAIN MY RESPONSE TO MSI:
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your reply. But reply does not solve my problem. I have tried all that you said in your reply.
I have done nothing to hardware. No electrical problems or burning.
Due to no sound, I have even totally zero filled my SATA hard disk, updated bios, re-installed

K8N Neo4 Platinum Non-SLI

System Specs:

Windows MCE 2005, rollup 2
For some reason I can't get 5.1 out via either SPID/F interface(optical or coaxial). It was working before, so I don't know what I messed up, but here's the setup. This is set in my living room, with the SPID/F out going to a Sony Reciever for 5.1 decoding. Like I said, it used to work, I don't know what the issue is now.
Windows speaker configuration is set to 5.1 speakers, as is the MCE app. I also have the RealTek Manager app set with with the correct speaker layout, but I'm only getting stereo out now. The reciever I've isolated, and it isn't the problem. But like I said, it was working before, but now I'm at a loss. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello !!
First try to deinstall all sound drivers completly, then reinstall them. Make sure your 5.1 system works properly.
Make sure you have the right output mode selected. (analog / digital )

All that has been done and tried, and and done and tried againn, and then I broke a plate, and then done and tried again.

I/O Shield Needed-K8N Neo4 Plat./SLI

Does anyone know where I can get a I/O(back panel) shield for an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard? I bought it off of ebay with all the accessories except the shield and I really need this so I can put this mobo in my case. If anyone has one that they are willing to sell,or know where I can get one, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I contacted MSI Technical Support already and this is what they said With regard to what you concern, we would suggest you contact the reseller (the place you bought the board from) and have them help? Or you can also contact the MSI™ Distributor here, http://www.msi.com.tw/program/about/w2b/index.phpor MSI™ office near your place here, http://www.msi.com.tw/html/about/contact2.htm. But when I go to those links, I lost about what to do after that. Any help?

K8N Neo4 Plat. SLI - no northbridge temperature/noisy

Hi all
I just bought a PC with this board & have noticed the chipset fan is very noisy. In core center it runs at over 7000 rpm min. I am getting no temperature reading in core center or speedfan (which may be why the northbridge fan is running so quick?). Has anyone else observed this? Is this a bios or hardware problem (is my board faulty)?
thanks to anyone who can answer

This seems to be fairly common on all Nforce4 Mobos - and certainly my MSI! 7000rpm and quite loud in my case, but quietened by using a Zalman Fanmate 2 (Fanmate 2 more versatile than Fanmate1). MSI tech help told me I "might need to update my BIOS", but I haven't done so, and don't think it helps, from what I've seen on other threads. You can use Motherboard MOnitor and Speedfan to read fan RPM, but I too haven't got a temp reading!
I'd love to think MSI might like to calm the little fan down a little in a future BIOS update, but don't know how likely that is!
So, no, your board isn't faulty - or at least not more faulty than all the others
I believe that the Gigabyte nForce4 is passively cooled, and quiet - also has digital audio in and out; that would suit me fine, but I know little else about thi Gigabyte board - yet!

K8N Neo4 Plat and 3500+ venice?

I have searched this but am more confused now than before. I am thinking of upgrading to the 3500+ venice with a K8N Neo4 Plat or sli is this a good combo.Tiger Direct has the Plat. and the SLI for the same price $149. Does this cpu work better with one or the other board?

i have the sli/plat and the 3500+ venice and it seems to work well with the 3.4 bios dont know about the plat but its basically the same. just my input

K8N Neo4 Plat: Choosing new PSU & Want Your 2 cents B/T my Choices! :)

Read the PSU sticky and have nailed down my choices to a few, which I'd like your opinions on, if anyone thinks one looks better over the other. Here's the rig:
K8N Neo4 Plat
AMD Athlon 64 FX
2GB RAM (XP Home)
(3) 160GB SATA II drives, non-RAID
7950 GT Fanless (no SLI needed)
Plextor 716-A DVDR
Floppy
SB Live! Drive
Xion 600w (+3v 35a / +5v 53a / +12v1 22a / +12v2 22a / +5vbs 3a)
Xion has been a good PSU but is sounding tired at boot until it warms, and frankly, it's only been 2 yrs or so since I got it. After reading the PSU sticky, I narrowed it down to these three:
Silverstone 600w dual rail: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817163109
Corsair 550w single rail: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
OCZ 550w dual rail: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341022
A couple of these happen to be modular, and I saw the sticky recommended against them due to poor connections, etc. Is this still a general consensus? I won't be in and out of the rig anymore.... I built it a few years ago and use my laptop more, actually. It's become a second computer, so frankly I'm not too worried about connections coming loose. If I shove em in good once and leave it, I imagine it will be alright. But neither do I care if it is modular.... just looking for which one looks like it would serve the rig better. All opinions are welcome! Thanks!

Thanks Frankenputer and Henry, I was just coming back to add the P&C Silencer 610: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703005 as a possible choice, and saw you suggested it! That beefy rail looks good and it's advertised as being particularly silent which is very important to me. (One of the reasons I find myself using my laptop more is because it's so quiet.) I won't be adding to the desktop rig anytime soon... it's serving my purposes as is. And though I agree I could probably get by with the 450VX, for 10 bucks more, I might as well get the 550W for a little more peace of mind.
So between the Cosair 550W and the P&C 610W, which do you think would be quieter? I'm concerned that the P&C only has an 80mm fan and although they make a big deal about their "silent technology" it doesn't say anything about the fan having ball bearings. The Cosair has a nice large 120mm fan, (larger fans can spin slower [making less noise] while moving more air), which is what I am used to in a PSU, and it is a double ball bearing fan, so it should be pretty darn quiet. If either PSU would serve the rig just as well, then silence is the next most important factor to me, even more than warranty. I'd just as soon replace a quieter PSU more often, than have a noisier one that lasts forever.

K8N NEO4 Plat - setup

this is my new build -
K8N NEO4 Plat Motherboard
2 x 512 Mushkin redline Dual Channel DDR400 modules
AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego Core
Antec True Power 2.0 550W PSU
2 x 6600GT BFG SLI-Cards
2 x Hitachi 80GB SATA II drives in a RAID 0
and other various items that need not be listed.....................
Anyways, i have the RAM running at 2/3/2 latencies at 2.85 Volts and I am looking to get more UMPH! out of it but Mushkin says i need more voltage. Is there a way of upping the voltage on this mobo? My previous mobo, a DFI board had an insane amount of voltage available but the board itself was a PAIN IN THE REAR! so it has been replaced, thankfully. Anyways, is there a revised BIOS that provides more volatage and isnt flakey? I would rpefer something that is not a BETA version, BETA=PROBLEMS. has anyone compiled a custom BIOS by making some revisions to an exisiting tested BIOS?

Well, I don't think there is, I've been reading about this, since I'm getting one of these Mobo's...
Either go for the beta bios or mod the official bios to allow the same amount of Vdimm as the beta, and flash with that...or google for some of Tictac's, Oscar_Wu's, etc modded BIOS'.
Maybe you can contact one of those guys over @ XtremeSystems.org and they may be able to hook you up.
BTW: The OCZ DDR Booster does NOT work with the Neo4 series.

K8N Neo4 Plat. boot delay with Canon MP390

Hi everyone!
My problem is the following:
My K8N Neo4 Plat. based computer got a huge delay (5mins!) on POST at boot (right after CPU name listing) when my Canon MP390 multifuntion USB printer is connected. I already know its caused by a conflict between the printer's card reader and the mobo, something maybe related to the mobo trying to boot on the card reader. Could be something else, but for now that's the only explanation i could find.
I red all post here concerning USB boot problems (or delays) and tried everything i could and red without results
Things that have been done (and much more!) :
- Flashed to latest v1.5 BIOS
- Disabled booting to other devices in BIOS leaving only floppy, cdrom and HD as bootable devices
- Disabled support for USB KB/storage devices in BIOS
- Unplugged Mitsumi floppy/cardreader combo drive (USB internal)
- Unplugged front panel USB and D-Bracket2
- 2 days of various tests with other computers, printers, psu, USB devices I had in store
I'm about to give up on this one! .. Anyone got ideas other than buying a new multifuntion printer? Could it be a defective mobo?
Thanks!
Rivendell
Computer specs are:
Athlon64 4000+, MSI K8N Neo4 Plat.
2x512MB PC3200 (OCZ 1GB KIT PN: OCZ4001024PDC-K)
Sapphire X850XT PCI-E 256MB, WD Raptor 74GB SATA
Thermaltake Silent Power 480w PSU, NEC 16X DVD-+RW
Mitsumi floppy/cardreader combo drive (unplugged for testing purpose)

It might be related with BIOS. The BIOS 1.65 seems to resolve the quick boot issue. You can get it from MSI to try it.

SATA hard drive problems with k8n neo4 plat

Helo , I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have read Fafner's thread on installing a sata hard drive on the neo4 mb but the only utility program I found on wd site is called " lifeguard11 for windows". Is this the right utility to use to partion my hard drive? I burned it to a cd and and my computer will post but will not boot from that cd. I have followed the instructions that came with the mb and used the floppys at F6 but it won't countinue to install windows after that.
Also I'm not sure how to enable sata in the bios. Do I go to integrated peripherals/sata devices config. and at the top of the screen it say's RAID Enable. Do I enable that and then enable sata1 raid? I am only using one hard drive. Thanks for help you can give.

My system is similar to yours, if your just using the one Raptor you don't need any special drivers, your mother board will detect the Raptor with out any special settings. I hooked my Raptor up to SATA 1 (look on pg 2-2 of your book for the location) If your only planing on installing one operating system on your hard drive, such as windows XP pro, Windows will format and partition the drive for you.
If your having problems booting from a CD make sure you change the boot order in the BIOS (under advanced bios features pg. 3-8 of your manual) so that CD is before HD. For example, mine is set up for: First boot device = Floppy drive, Second boot device = CD Rom, Third boot device = hard drive, and etcetera. if your using more than one hard drive such as an IDE drive make sure you set the "hard disk boot priority" on the same page to the hard drive you want to boot from.
Once that is done put your Windows CD in the CD drive and reboot, Windows will guide you through the rest.

Max stable CPU voltage supported by K8n Neo4 Plat.?

My vcore voltage fluctuates between 1.44v and 1.50v. In the bios I have 1.42+6.6%(see my sig). I have ran prime 95 for 24h stable, but recently I tried OCCT(a french program). The first test ran for 30min OK, the torture test froze my computer within an hour or two. My question is what is Max stable CPU voltage supported by K8n Neo4 Plat.?Because obviously when the mobo drops it to 1.44 it IS NOT ENOUGH. Difference of .06v obviously is critical for the stability. Anyway it should be 1.425+6.6%=1.519 which is nowhere near 1.44. I currently run at 36-38C idle and 45C under load. Is it a bios problem? I use 1.6 bios and I don't have any problems whatsoever.
Any opinions appreciated.
BTW tried to raise the mobo voltage at 1.55(1.50 default) but seems that there is no difference.
BIOS shows my voltages as follows:
+3.3v=3.12 to 3.15 mostly stays at 3.14 pc wizard shows 3.14, core center shows 3.22
+5.5v=4.96 to 4.99
+12v =11.96 to 12.22 core center shows 11.96, pc wizard shows 12.22

dont blame MSI for your financial situations. If you could afford the proper hardware then you wouldnt need to overclock and such. JMO.
I can afford the proper hardware. In fact, I bought a DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI DR to replace the defective K8N Neo4 SLI board.
As soon as the new K8N board comes back from RMA, I figure to sell it - say half off. I think for something that may or may not work as advertised, half price is fair.
And speaking of processors, these Venice chips are really phenomenal - they're just like (or maybe even better than) the good old XP1700 JIUHB chips. I still have one of those - and strangely enough, it's still running - in an MSI K7T Turbo 2 board (KT133A). That JIUHB served me well - it'd do a 500MHz overclock with no strain at all. If I had water cooling, I bet I coulda got 1 GHz out of it.
The two Venice 3200 processors I have both seem to be really good overclockers. The one that was in the rig I RMA'd is the best - right now in the new Lanparty board, I've got it running at 2.5 GHz (1:1 @ 250 MHz) with about 1.55 volts. It's idling at about 30c and only runs at about 44c under load - and the AS5 hasn't even cured yet!
That chip is gonna be one helluva overclocker!
I'll let it run at 2.5 GHz for another week or so till the AS5 has cured, then I'll see just how far I can go (without the temps getting too high). The way it's gone from this point, I think 2.7 GHz is very reasonable for a goal.
And as I think newbie222 pointed out, as long as the temps are kept reasonable, there is no actual risk to the processor.
The point I was making is that with my old, defective K8N, that would not have been possible - BECAUSE THE BOARD WAS DEFECTIVE. It was defective because the vcore did not operate up to spec (wouldn't go as high as it was advertised to) and because of the voltage fluctuations.
How would you feel if you bought a new car that was advertised as getting 24 MPG highway and it only got 17 MPG? Or if you ordered Comcast's 8 Mb/s downstream Gold Tier and only got 6 Mb/s downstream? Or if you ordered a 102 channel cable package that turned out to only have 88 channels?
It's all the same exact, precise thing.
If MSI advertises you can get a vcore of 1.7> volts then you fer damned sure better be able to get it.
The main reason people buy boards like the K8N is to overclock - it's the "enthusiast" community that the board is targeted to.
I find it hard to believe anyone would even want to buy one of these boards and not overclock. What's the point? If all someone wants is something that will run at stock speeds, then they oughta save a few bucks and buy a Dell or whatever.

K8N Neo4 Plat (MS-7125) v.1.D user manual/settings?

Since I flashed my PCB 1.0 K8N Neo4 Plat to BIOS 1.D a couple of years ago I've been sort've just winging it with the many increased settings that 1.D added. I know all of the basics like clock and DRAM settings but the rest I'm clueless about. Is there any official or unofficial post or document out there that explains these settings and what their optimal values should be?
TIA!

Max OC was 3203 but for everyday I had it at 3080 for a couple of months and then I got some different RAM and had some problems with it and have it backed down to 2640 (240x11), HT link is at x3 (720) but would be okay at x4 which would put HT at 960 for the OC I have now and I went back to my old RAM. I haven't yet worked it back up to OC I had before. Neo 4-F & Plat. PCB 1.0 seem to OC better than other versions of K8N which seem to max out at about 2700.
Keep HT link below 1000, if you OC it enough that it goes over drop it to the next lower setting. Your 2500 clock is no problem at stock voltage and you would need to OC quite a bit higher for any need to raise voltage. Lets see what setting you have questions about before I go too far here.

K8N neo4 plat northbridge fan

The fan on my northbridge(K8N neo4 plat ultra) has died on me. Is there a replacement that is orderable? or am I looking at replacing the mobo?

I had one of these laying around & mounted it to my Neo4 as soon as I took it out of the box - Because I heard plenty of bad things about the stock fan.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835110103
Very quiet, cools great (never exceeds 32C) & fits perfectly.
You can see a pic of it mounted here - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=93129.360
