K8N Neo4 Platinum with 90nm San Diego 4000+

Hello everyone,
My first post here. Tomorrow I'm purchasing a K8N Neo4 Platinum MB (non SLI) and have requested the retail seller to get me a 90nm San Diego 4000+ instead of the older 130nm Clawhammer 4000+. Now, after reading through this forum it appears there may be a compatibility issue with the San Diego chip. Should I change to the Clawhammer or go ahead with the San Diego. I don't plan on OCing for a couple of months. What should I do?
Thanks!

 I just fired up my K8n Neo4/sli with a 4000 rev.e chip last night, Bios is showing 3.0 and working like it should. Have it hooked to a Enermax 535 watt and One Evga 6800gt pci-e with the second card still in the box, I want to give it a good update and test before I bring the second card online, Cpu running at 35c with the side of under a Thermalright xp 90C Heatsink fan blowing down, want to test it fan blowing up next. Good luck it's a nice chip.
JJWOLD, thanks for the update, good news for me. I picked up the board last night, the rest of the stuff should be here next week. I'm going to load it with WinXP 64, which I know has limited driver support but I have three other computers so I'll just take it very slow on additional hardware and software installations. I may even use the integrated sound for now. By the way, did your board come with the 1394 cable and bracket?
Thanks!

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum with Athlon 3200+ wrong multiplier?

    I've got a K8N Neo4 Platinum with an Athlon 3200+ processor that's supposed to run at 2.2GHz
    With the memory running at 200MHz the maximum multiplier I can select is x10 which only gives me a CPU speed of 2GHz
    Shouldn't there be a x11 multiplier available for this CPU or have I missed something obvious?
    BIOS is 7125v12

    Hi there. A 3200+ S939 is supposed to run at 2000MHz. The S745 runs on 2,2GHz, due to single channel memory.
    Cheers!!
    3000+ = 1,8 GHz
    3200+ = 2,0 GHz
    3500+ = 2,2 Ghz

  • K8n neo4 fi and 3700+ san diego overclocking pro - no post over 240 fsb

    Hi ! Sorry for my bad english, i'm not a good at writing in english.
    My config is in my signature. The problem is that there is no POST over 240 FSB... I've lowered the HT from 5x to 4x and 3x bot nothing happened....
    i put the memory from auto to manual, and doesn't matter that if i change the timing from 2.5-3-3-8 2T to 3-4-4-8 2T....
    The problem is the same when i set back the ram 200 to 166.... I tried clockgen, and it worked well until 240, but from 241 my win freezes and cannot boot until i press the button in the motherboard 
    It's working now on 11*235 @ 1.4V + 6.6% overlock.... i'll  change at weekeng my memories to kingmax hc 2x512mb 500mhz, however i dont mind this will change the fsb problem...
    The bios is 3.52... i read somewhere that the bios can be 1 b - c or d and the d is the best, but i couldn't figure out that which one is mine.... or this is just a fact, causes nothing?
    Somebody please help, or i have to change the MB to another one, my 3700+ is a pretested one @ 2900 so this is not good for me to run it at just 2600mhz...

    i'm using a box cooler, which was given to a x2 amd64 cpu... heatpipe version, holds cold the cpu, really good one.
    maybe there is a misunderstanding between everest and my bios , becouse i use 1.4V + 6.6% overlock which is near 1.5V in BIOS, but everest shows only 1.2V cpu voltage.
    the psu is strong, it shows ~12.5-12.6V on the + 12V while prime95 blend torture test is running, my videocards eats very few energy
    i've found the specifics of it on the net ->
    Output    
    +3.3V @ 28A, +5.5V @ 32A, +12V @ 26A, -12V @ 0.8A, -5V @ 0.8A, +5VSB @ 2.5A
    the temps on idle are very low, the cpu is only 31-32C...videocard is cold too, 'couse of the zalman ->42-43C...
    mb temperature is also near 40C...

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum, how to move MBR to sata (make it drive #1)?

    I am not sure I am phrasing the question correctly, so bear with me. I have a K8N Neo4 platinum with the SiI3114 controller and sata ports 4-8 (I believe its what they are calling PCB 1.x) with bios v1.D. I moved the board to another box and installed winXP on it. I was running it with IDE hard drives. Everything was working great but the OS was running really slow so I bought a SATA 300 mb/s drive and pluged it into SATA1 (I read about using ports 3 and 4 for raid but I do not want to use the NVraid at all, it is disabled). Then I proceeded to reinstall win XP. In the setup, I deleted the original C partiton and created one on the sata drive and rebooted so that there would be no "C" drive confusion by the winxp setup (have had that problem before and this keeps it from happening). Went through the setup and the sata was correctly reported as "C". Told windows to install itself there but it told me that it needed to write to MBR on the old c drive but that, since I had deleted the partiton, it couldn't and had to format it. So I knew that something was wrong.
    So I rebooted and disabled the ide bus that contained the old IDE drive and just left the CD ide bus enabled. WinXP installed fine with no complaints. Then it rebooted and I re-enabled the ide bus in the bios. It wouldn't boot into the partiton I just installed winxp on! To get it to boot, I had to use F11 (the bios boot menu) and select the sata drive. Went through the whole setup winXP thing and rebooted. Same problem, it wouldn't boot the sata drive. :(
    As long as that ide bus with the old ide drive is enabled, it won't boot the sata drive! I have rearranged the boot order on the bios every way possible. I opened up the box and moved that ide chain with the old ide drive to the ide2 port and put the dvd drive on ide1. I made the old drive slave and the prior slave master. That didn't fix it either. How do I tell this motherboard that the 1st drive is the sata drive? How do I tell it the MBR should be there not on the old ide drive? How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you for your replies! Hans, thank you I will give it a go again doing full formats all the way. I usually use the full format when installing winXP but I did things in a different order than you instructed so I will definately try it.
    Aicjofs, thank you, There are 3 hard drives in this system currently. There is the ide hard drive that used to be the "c" drive (a western digital 160gb ata133 7200rpm 8mb cache) and a second ide hard drive that is an extended partition with 1 logical drive with data on it (western digital 300gb ata133 7200rpm 8mb cache). Then there is a sata hard drive in sata1 port with 2 partitions one primary and one extended. The extended partion does have data on it as I moved stuff there after I got winXP up the 2nd time (western digital 250gb sata II 7200rpm 16mg cache).  Right now, I have the ide drive with data on it as ide2 master and the old "c" drive as ide2 slave and it is unformatted and contains no partion information (I deleted the partition  after I installed the SATA drive and installed winXP). XP won't boot. What happens is that, if I take the winxp cd out, it gives me a "no system" error. If I leave the WinXP cd in it boots that disk. However, if I use "f11" and choose to boot the sata drive, winxp comes up just fine. If I disable the ide bus with the two ide hard drives, it boots winxp just fine.
    Edit: bios is v1.D. It feels like this mobo is telling windows setup that the master ide drive is the first disk and to ignore everything else. It feels like if I can just tell the mobo that the sata drive is the first disk then everything will work . It is late night where I am now, and I've been fighting with this since the afternoon so I might have to goto sleep but I will be back at it tomorrow and will go though what Hans instructed. If anyone has any otehr ideas, I'd really appreciate that as well.

  • SLI compatible NVidia cards on a K8N Neo4 Platinum

    I have a K8N Neo4 Platinum with a 3500+ AMD64, is there any known problems with running the GeForce 7800GTX duel chip with 512Mb DDR3. I just wondered because it will be the first SLI complient graphics card I have purchased. Do you have to have a SLI chip setted NF4 board to run it?
    Marc

    first of all, i don't think there's a dual chip 7800 GTX 512 card out there. if you are talking about two single chip 7800 GTX 512, that is a different story. in that case yes, you need a SLI mobo, but that is not all. you need to have nforce4 sli chipset on it, because the sli mobos based on the nforce4 ultra are not enough you need a monster power supply cause those cards suck all the power from your average 450-500W PSU. i don't think that should be a problem for you, since you seem to be loaded with cash and can afford buying a new k8n diamond plus 2x16 sli mobo (2 x 7800GTX 512 = 1500 USD easy, if you can find them - alienware and monarch charge you in excess of 900 USD for each)

    Hey Guys,
    I fail to see the Logic in "don't buy dual core now... it’s too expensive… wait till the price drops in 2006." You don't HAVE to buy dual core... but since it's here... there really is no reason not to. You still need a processor now to get you through till 2006... So that means spending $300 (CND + Tax) on a 3200+ and then in 2006... Spending another 400 (maybe even 500) on a 4400+... so in the end you'll still have spent close to $800.
    By buy dual core now... you get to use it NOW!... so you also have to take that into consideration. I've already returned my San Diego 4000+ and waiting till June 12th for the 4400+ to get in stock. I don't think I’ve seen anyone in here using a dual core with the 1.4 BIOS, so I’m not sure if 1.4 will work at all... But everyone seems to be say that 1.5 will become official in early June... with dual core support and a VDIMM of up to 3.1v
    Just my $.02
    Point well taken, but add this, what is going to change between now and then? I like to set back read reviews and watch them work out the bugs before I buy. All to often we get burned buying to quick in the Pc Market. And last point "use it NOW" may I ask on what? Now I just through that in so give me some links to read, because iam not uptodate on Dual core except the price.

  • Strange power-on (issue?) with K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Hi all, i have a new K8N Neo4 Platinum, non-sli.
    My rig:
    A643000+ winch, no overclock
    2x512MB Corsair XMS DDR400MHz
    2x200GB Seagate mirroring
    Plextor PX-708A
    BenQ DVD Burner
    AN OLD Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI  (new pci-e gfx card later...)
    A powerfull enermax coolergiant 600W ATX 2.0 power supply
    Latest official nforce4 drivers and bios
    It seems to be ok: installed winXP pro sp2 and updates, installed two Seagate in raid-mirroring with the nforce4 controller, installed some progs and utils, firewall is ok, prime95 go without problems for 1 our (more tests later), cpu temp is 34°C and sys temp is 30°C.
    CoreCenter Say:
    Vcore -> 1.41V
    3.3V -> 3.39V
    +5V -> 5.13V
    +12V -> 12.26V
    memory volt -> 2.60V
    FSB -> 200MHz
    PCI-E -> 100MHz
    cpu volt -> By-VID
    Apparently no weird things...
    When i switch-on the Pc, for some seconds(  ̃10 secs) it don't want to boot, optical drives blink repeatly and the screen is blank, like a bad overclock... But the machine isn't overclocked, and the bios is ok, i think. After 10 secs, finally it go and run flawlessly, post and other things are ok. When i reboot in win, the 10secs-issue repeat itself. So this strange thing at the post is normal? Anyone with the same "problem"? For now the rig is ok when it logon in winXP...

    Hi all my friends 
    @JER101 >>> Ehrr i mean post, sorry 
    I had unplugged the optical drives, but the problem persist. When plugged, they blink for some times and after blinking the machine go into post-phase and after it boot in the correct manner. I think the PCI card is the problem, like some of you said... I will buy one pci-e card (obviously), but i hope things are not dangerous for now 
    In the mean time, i have a new problem: emule+firewall=BSOD. I know, there are tons of post about this issue around, but the solution is unclear... Tried to disable DEP, patched WinXP SP2 with latest things from winupdate, but nothing work for me, emule and the firewall generate a crash&reboot. Tried with the Marvell LAN, too, without success.
    Any suggestions? Usefull links? If i uninstall the "NVIDIA Forceware Network Access Manager" it will work without problem with a thirdy part firewall, like sysgate?
    P.S.
    What's the problem with nvidia drivers? C'mon nvidia, solve this damned issue! 

  • K8N NEO4 Platinum cold boot problem with 165 opteron?

    I have this board and have a cold boot problem with my opteron. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its starting to get very anooying.
    K8N NEO4 Platinum
    165 opty dual core
    2X1GB Ballistix PC4000
    160GB sata2
    7800GTX
    X-Fi platinum
    600 watt seasonic PSU

    Well I am running them at the rated speed of 250 and the rated timings of 3-4-4-10 on the rated 2.8 volts. Ballistix have been known to die quickly when you throw to many volts at them for some reason. I dont get the cold boot problem with the OCZ. Once I finally get it to boot with the Ballistix it works just fine but the next morning I play hell to get it to boot again. I dont even get the main screen to let me get into bios. It just stays black. I have done all kinds of stress testing and ran memtest with no problems. I am really at a loss here. 

  • Firewire/1394 devices are not auto-detected with k8n neo4 platinum

    I am unable to detect firewire/1394 devices to my PC through my K8N Neo4 Platinum. That is, I plug in the device through the firewire port and windows doesn't detect that a device has been plugged in.
    I have tried:   
    -2 firewire devices, both are Canon digital camcorders (ZR10 and ZR25MC)
    -2 different firewire cables
    -reinstalling windows, got all windows updates except
    (Microsoft Base Smart Card Cryptographic Service Provider Package: x86 (KB909520))
    -patch from microsoft, discussed here
    (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=81749.0)
    -both firewire devices using both cables connect just fine to a test computer
    -both my computer and the test computer have Windows XP Pro SP2
    Windows doesn't make the noise "bah-dum" that it has detected a device, nor does it display the dialog that gives me options of what programs to use. Once in a while, if I leave it connected for a while and come back, windows will eventually find it...or windows might bog down and get really slow. It speeds up again instantly once I unplug the firewire device. Strange, I know. Also there are NO conflicts in device manager.
    Could it be?: 
    -bios misconfiguration
    -need to use an older chipset driver (i am using most recent from nvidia.com)
    -onboard audio or front audio needs to be disabled
    -the k8n neo4 platinum simply has connection problems with some firewire devices
    (i hope not)
    Bob

    Built2Last: (good questions!)
    I tried your suggestion by removing PCI cards and made FURTHER progress. I found out that my firewire card, the Syba NEC1394-P3, has some compatibility issues with my other PCI cards. I found this out because:
    1. it worked fine after I placed it in a non-comm (orange) slot and removed my soundcard (X-Fi) and Belkin wireless modem, and
    2. a tech support representative from Syba told me that that particular firewire card has compatibility issues
    Quote
    Also, SD-NEC-4F is our older model firewire card.
    Our new firewire card (SD-PCI-4F) is using VIA VT6306 chipset and no customer complain about any installation issue so far.
    If the SD-NEC-4F still giving you trouble, I'll suggest you to return it and exchange for the SD-PCI-4F firewire card.
    At least he is honest and wants to help, so I remain impartial towards Syba.
    So I figured out the firewire card, but not the onboard firewire. Ok, but check this out! When the Syba card was working, I could plug in BOTH the external hard drive AND either of the Canon camcorders to the Syba firewire card. Windows all three devices just fine. Again, the onboard firewire would ONLY detect JUST the external hard drive, but would not detect either of the Canon camcorders. It seems as though the ball again is knocked back into MSI's court on this issue. Any ideas?
    syar2003:
    As for drivers, I checked for drivers for: onboard firewire, add-in firewire card, and Canon camcorders.
    -I cannot find where there is an MSI firewire driver for my onboard firewire port. I originally guess that it was part of my chipset driver installer, but the README doesn't say anything about it. It is also not an additional download on MSI's website. But since it detects an external hard drive I figure I must already have it.
    -The add-in firewire card does not have drivers. I repeat, they do not exist. The manual and Syba's website both state that drivers for the card are included all versions of Windows back to Windows 98.
    -Canon's website has a driver/software download page but it also appears that drivers do not exist for the Canon camcorders.
    Yes the camcorder is set to VCR mode.
    Yes the IEEE1394 is correctly installed, since external hard drive connects okay.
    I tried two DV cables and both are connected fine.
    The camcorders do not support USB as far as I can see, and if they do, I'm not using it.

  • IDE cables bundled with K8N Neo4 Platinum--80 wire or 40 wire?

    Is the rounded IDE cable that comes with the K8N Neo4 Platinum (non-SLI) mobo an 80 wire or 40 wire cable?  How can one tell?
    I think I may be having some UDMA issues with my second hard drive (120GB Barracuda 7200.7 IDE).  I installed XP on my SATA drive with no other drives connected and then added this IDE drive.
    The rest of my setup is in my sig.
    Thanks!
    Bruce

    OK.  I checked my device manager for the info on my IDE drive.  I looked at the properties of NVIDIA nForce4 Parallel ATA Controller.
    Primary Channel:
    HD Model # is ST3120026A.  The drive set up as Ultra DMA 5 - Ultra 100.  Checked boxes are "Let BIOS select transfer mode, Enable read caching, and Enable write caching.  I did a speed test from Windows and it shows Theoretical limit of 100, Burst speed of 86.3 and Sustained speed of 58.1.
    Secondary Channel:
    DVD: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A.  Transfer mode is Ultra DMA2 - Ultra 33.  This is using a flat ribbon cable from an older computer.  The only box checked is "Let BIOS select transfer mode".
    Do these both look OK or do I need to change something?
    Then I looked at the properties of NVIDIA nForce4 ADMA Controller and found:
    My SATA drive (my boot drive) is HD model # ST3160812AS.  Transfer mode is PIO Mode.  Boxes checked are "Enable read caching, Enable write caching, and Enable command queuing.  There is a yellow triangle that says "Transfer mode downgraded".  I can't do a speed test.
    What do I need to do to operate in Serial ATA Generation 2 - 3G?  This is how this drive is supposed to operate.
    Thanks!

  • Lan issues with the K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard

    New K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard. 
    After three or four hours the connection started to get unstable.  I am a high end gamer and any net slowdown I see and feel.   
    Using my "Ping Plotter" program i saw the issue.  The first hop to my router was going from 0 to 47ms.  On all of the other conputers on this network hop one stays at 0.
    In looking at the over all ping to my game server I noted that when hop 0 went to 47 it messed up all of the other hops and made the connection to my game server unstable.
    The odd thing is I bypassed the onboard nic's and installed a PCI nic and it did the same thing.
    I got with MSI and they had ne updare the NVIDA drivers.  This lowered the swing to 0-17.  I removed the PCI lan and am now back with the onboard nic.  I have replaced the DSL modem, cable and removed the dlink and the issue is still the same.
    This is my first computer with XP and at this point I do not know if this is an XP issue or a driver issue. 
    In installing a pci nic some of the network control is still done on the motherboard so that does not rule out a motherboard/chipset driver issue.
    I have set up a web site that shows screen shots of the ping plotter.  Please take the time to look at them and tell me what you think.

    Hello !!
    Please give more information about your system specs.
    But i would try the following:
    Download the latest nforce and vga drivers from nvidia ( if you are using nv VGA card ? ). Google for "driver cleaner" and download it.
    Restart system and press F8 to enter safe mode. Now uninstall all nvidia drivers(chipset & VGA), and run Driver Cleaner after it. Select the nvidia tabs and remove them....
    Now reboot, when prompted to install new drivers cancel this process. And start nvidia chipset driver setup, install all drivers but do not install the IDE driver from nvidia, you will be prompted for this.In first attempt you should not install nvidia firewall. Restart and install VGA drivers. Now test again your network connection. I hope it helps....

  • Playing DVD-Audios with an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

    I have a system built around an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard.  I'm using the motherboard's onboard sound, and I have it connected to a 5.1 speaker system.  Using WinDVD 6 Platinum, I can play regular DVDs just fine, with awesome surround sound.  However, when I try to play DVD-Audios, I only get stereo sound.  Anyone have any suggestions?
    A.J.

    DVD video sound format AC3 5.1 and DVD-Audio sound format is not the same .
    DVD-Audio disks has also a video AC3 5.1 track and stereo track , set yor sw player to use AC3 and see if it helps.
    E.g a soundblaster Audigy ZE , or X-FI can render DVD-Audio , but not the onboard sound on Neo4.
