K8N NEO4 Platinum and PCIE Clock

I have K8N NEO4 Platinum, AMD FX55, 2X512 Crucial Ballistix PC4200, PowerColor X850XT VIVO, 3X74 HD WD Raptor.
I have a big problem with this motherboard and Video card.
I have set CPU clock at 250mhz (because I have DDR500), now the PCE clock is 100mhz. Is synchronous with CPU clock? If yes is there a moltiplicator to change the PCIE clock(my videocard is 400mhz), because It provokes artefacts in the Post , in the bios,and continues shutdown of the system( first appears the windows “VPU RECOVER”, than shutdown) and the visualization is full of artefacts.
The question is: Pcie clock is asynchronous or synchronous with CPU Clock, when is disable spectrum in cellmenu?

K8N Neo4 Platinum and wake-on-lan

Hi,
I don't understand if the MSi K8N Neo4 Platinum has wake on lan capability..
There is in BIOS a setting in power manegement, but it's not loisting 'wake on lan'. In Windows (XP Pro), I can find a tool from MSI where I can setup a date/time for the PC to boot up, but nothing about WOL.
Can it do WOL ?
How does it work ?
Thanks for your help,
Rico

Wake On LAN, developed from Intel, provides remote wake-up technology that enables
systems to be remotely powered "on" for off hour’s tasks.
A result of the Intel-IBM Advanced Manageability Alliance and part of the
Wired for Management Baseline Specification, this technology helps save time on automated software
installations, upgrades, disk backups and virus scans.
Wake on LAN technology resides in a managed network adapter and on the system motherboard.
Please see the Intel web site for more information on WOL technology.

K8N Neo4 PLatinum and OCZ DDR booster

i had a look at the OCZ page for this product and it says that the Neo4 Platinum is incompatible. I think i saw something about someone using the booster with this board but that was a while ago...
So can anybody tell me if there is a possibility of the OCZ DDR booster working in my mobo?

Maybe that person modded it's DDR Booster so it works, but that voids warranty and you need to know how to do it.
See OCZ site: they say it will not work (If unmodded) but i think it's better to buy memory that overclocks well in the voltage range the mobo can suplpy than doing mods to the board (or other things)

K8N Neo4 Platinum and eVGA 7900GT KO 512 RoHS

Well here goes nothing... I have odd distortion while playing games. It happens intermittently and there is no commonality for this problem. When it occurs, the game seems to be continuing in the background as I can hear sound, move the mouse around, and even see the screen changing as I push my "asdw" keys. I have included the following links so you can have a look:
http://www.aarynandbrian.com/images/sims.jpg
http://www.aarynandbrian.com/images/wow.jpg
http://www.aarynandbrian.com/images/farcry.jpg
The links should explain which games they occured in. Here are some details on the things I have done.
1. Clean install of XP
2. Clean install of nvidia forceware drivers (tried both non-beta and beta drivers, using driver cleaner in between)
3. RMA'ed my video card and got a brand new card, same issue
4. Changed PCI-E speed from 100MHz up to 110MHz (This was recommended by evga support)
5. Fine tuned the RAM for (2-3-3-6) 1T-2.7volts (recommended by corsair tech support)
6. All system device drivers updated
7. Verified video card is plugged in to one power rail by itself with no other hardware (Power supply meets amp requirement)
8. Ran memtest86 for 24 hours with zero errors
9. Ran PCmark for multiple hours with zero errors
10. Ran 3dmark for multiple hours with zero errors (this is amazing to me since all the 3d games generate this error randomly every few hours or so)
11. Verified all firmware is updated
12. Verified all games are updated with latest patches
13. Verified directX is updated
14. Verified the video card, cpu, mobo are not overheating by watching temp gauges when the issue occurs
And last but not least....
15. Reformatted several times over and done all these steps over and over again.
Am I missing something? I have owned dozens of gaming rigs over the years and I have never experienced this. Are there some other test I can run? Is there a compatability issue with this video card and motherboard? eVGA is not wanting to give me any other cards since I've had two cards with the exact same problem. (I am aware of the 7900 series issues and my card revision is one of the new revisions.)
The only other cause I can think of is my video settings in the games. Since I built this rig, I have been turning everything up as high as they can go since I figured it could handle it. None of the games lag or chunk while playing so I have left them all the way up. Is there a possability I have a video option on that is causing this problem? (I have NOT modified the Forceware Driver options in Windows. I have only modified IN-GAME video settings and pushed them all the way up)
Any Advice would be incredible as I have been dealing with this for two months now. I just want this thing to run like a champ.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

those pictures look messed up. sometimes my screen looks like that when windows boots, then is fine when the desktop comes up. it's like the monitor lost sync with the video card. i suppose you've tried turning the monitor off and on when that happens, but if not, try it. it might help...
it pretty much can't be the video card if you've replaced it, and compatibility issues shouldn't really cause a problem like that either. ram and cpu can't cause that problem either.
maybe the dvi cable is too long or bad quality or something. a problem with the psu or motherboard could cause the video card to screw up and do that, so you probably shouldn't rule those out.

K8N Neo4 Platinum and Dual Core on Linux

I have solved my problem with getting both cores to work and thought I would post it here as info in case anyone encounters the same problem.
Bios 1.5 works fine, but when I installed it I used the option which prevents overwriting the boot block, and was only able to get one core to boot because of APIC problems. Doing a full flash prevented the IOAPIC bios setting from being turned off and allowed the board to be recognized as SMP compatible.
I guess part of the IOAPIC table must be in the boot block area

After few test i have changed a cd drive : from dvd-usb external to internal ide drive and W Xp
setup corretly.
But for me new problem:
now i have first O/S on SATA1 and secondary O/S (installed now) on primary IDE 1 channel,
and in any root i have one boot.ini and both boot.ini have a similar row (!?)
First installed on SATA1:
[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
Second Insatalled on IDE1:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
The second O/S now dont boot:
my intention is to copy a row from second boot.ini to first boot.ini ; but i ask for what parameter i use on "multi", "disk", "rdisk" ?
I hope on your help, please and sorry for my bad english.
Thanks

K8N Neo4 Platinum and no surround sound....

Anyone tell me why I cant get audio to play through all my speakers in my system? I've got Logitech Z5500 hooked up via coax (and have tried optical) but can only get audio through my two front speakers.
thanks!

Quote from: Wonkanoby on 10-October-05, 04:02:45
win dvd full version or free one as most free ones are 2 channel
it's the pay version. even then, the Realtek Sound Manager should be able to play the surround audio test in all speakers eh?

K8N Neo4 Platinum and nVidia Firewall (NAM)

Hi to all.
I have bought a computer to dive in the 64...
This is the first time that i need to install mobo drivers and utilities, i find them very useful.
Ok, i was reading about the hardware firewall, and the software that it needs to run. I found the folder in the MSI CD to install it, but give me an error, something about "user". I don´t know if is the cd or is windows error... I have WinXP pro SP2.
I have two questions:
-Where can i find the latest NAM version to download in the nvidia website? I only found the nforce4 standalone kit and unified driver (another thing, i don´t know what to install in my mobo...).
-Did you got the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

Ahi le has dado compañero!!
I will try that fix that GustavoR tolds me.
Thanks.
the security is very important, i only have one pc and a router, with all of his ports opened (i preferred a firewall than a hard solution). I want to try this nvidia hard-soft option to see how it works and if itś better that may lovely kerio
GustavoR, ¿que tal funciona el invento este? Funciona como un firewall soft que te va avisando cuando una aplicacion tiene que entrar o salir, o hay que abrir puertos en plan router...
(Transcription How does it works? Works like a windows firewall soft, with his warnings and automatic rules? or like a router, opening the ports manually...)

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.

Problem replacing K8n Neo4 Platinum

Hello everybody, this is my first post here, I am a new member from Italy.
I have this problem:
I own a K8n Neo4 Platinum and when I changed the VGA from Nvidia 6600 GT to 8600 GTS the Mobo doesn't post anymore.. The usb diagnostig bracket says it's a memory problem but when I've put my memory banks on a different PC, they work just fine.
I think the problem was caused by the little space that I had between the VGA and the chipset cooler (Zalman passive);when I installed the VGA I damaged the chipset. Taking a closer look at it I noticed that 1 edge is damaged. I also substituted the Power suplly but the result is always the same.
So I decided to replace the mobo but I don't want to reinstall windows. Finding my same mobo is impossible here in Europe. I only found the K8n Neo4-F.
My question is the following :
-Does this Mobo use the same drivers that were installed on my HD? (latest driver downloaded from Nvidia version 6.86)
-Will I have problems with Windows ?

K8N Neo4 Platinum power on/off problem

Hi all.
I just got a K8N Neo4 Platinum, and have a problem with switching it on and off.
When I switch on the mains to the PC PS(before turning the PC on), the fans start turning, and I hear disks spinning up. The PC power LED is off, but the HD LED is on. There is no picture on the monitor.
If I then switch the PC on, it boots normal, power LED is on, and the HD LED is normal. The PC is working absolutely normal, with winXP.
But when I turn the PC off again, the fans remain on, power LED goes off, HD LED on. And I can't switch the PC on again, till I have toggled the mains supply.
I have tried measuring what comes on the power connector. It looks like there is still 12V when the PC is supposed to be switched off. Don't know if that is right.
There is also 5VSB and PWR OK, but I think they are supposed to be there.
I hope I have been able to explain the problem in understandable english.

That the comp turn itself on when the different front side connectors etc isnt in, i dont think that's a problem with ur PSU.
Same thing happend to me when i forgot to plug them in a couple of days ago. I got a Tagan 480W, and its flawless!
Have u ever considered unplugging everything, and doing it from the beginning? ......
I have tried from the beginning many times, but it's always failing.
BUT..... Today I got a new K8N Neo4 Platinum from a vendor next door to where I work, and it works perfectly
I had a suspicion that the motherboard was causing the fail, but couldn't be sure without trying a new one. Now the first one is going back to the shop where I bought it.
Thanks to all for all the suggestions you have come up with.

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum or MSI 6600GT PCI-E ?

Dear Sirs,
I've just bought a MSI NX6600 TD GT 128MB PCI-E and
Motherboard MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum.
I Think that one of these is defective bacause WinXP
can't work with MSI original drivers, MSI old
drivers or Nvidia drivers. The system reboots.
I think that i've tried almost everything and this
card only works badly with VesaSave driver (Generic
Windows driver).
Could a defective video card works ?
Is it possible that the problem is the Motherboard ?
Any idea ?
Help me please,
Thank you very much,

About PSU I'm a old (41 years old) newbie, and I had to re-assemble my old computer to work but I check this before with MSI software and at motherboard bios voltage check and remember that it was ok it is a 600 watts. But I think that even if it is not, I could at minus install the driver and start Windows. I had no possibility to even start Windows.
If I install any MSI or Nvidia driver, when loading WindowsXP the screen turns black and at some time after the system reboots and prompts to start in secure mode. So I can't do anything, even starts Windows with this videoboard with right drivers. It only works with "VesaSafe" driver.
