K8N Platinum board 54G trouble

Ok, first things first, I do NOT like this board one bit! Already tried to exchange it but the store refused to do so, something they have no right to but hey what can I do about it?
Anyways, considering it did cost me a nice amount of money I might as well try to get this piece of crap to work at least a wee bit. Don't get me wrong I always had MSI boards but it seems that Platinum boards are still the *to avoid boards* for some reason. Anyways that's my personal experience. And for your information, I had no idea I was buying the G54 Platinum board, I only noticed afterwards when comparing prices... too late naturally.
Well the problem is that there are MASSIVE LAN trouble with this board. I spent 5 hours, 5 HOURS fixing the conflicting ports. I finally got the MAC Nvidia port to work but the Realtek is still... well broken. I have cable internet so I depend on my LAN ports to work 100% which isn't the case of this board it seems. Thing is like I said, the only port working is the Nvidia one, the Realtek isn't doing much besides getting on my nerves. Not a SINGLE bit of data comes in. The port keeps sending out signals but that's it. Is there some kind of hardware firewall spooking around somewhere? If so then PLEASE for the love of the computergod tell me where I can blast that DAMN firewall to Oblivion. My modem itself already has a hardware firewall so it's more then likely they conflict with eachother. I already disabled the Nvidia network boot thingy after the POST screen so that should be ok now. Didn't find any Realtek options however.
2nd problem is that my Windows is for some reason booting up EXTREMELY slow! I don't mean the desktop loading, that's quick as lightning, but the Windows bootup screen is like taking 2-3 mins to switch to desktop. Impossible according to my hardware configuration because I have an FX-55 CPU. And trust me, they aren't supposed to boot up so slowly. Also note that this is a new installment of Windows XP, I already formatted my HD 2 times. So driver conflicts are out of the question unless the problem is again LAN port-related.
3th problem is that my onboard soundcard seems to conflict with my Audigy 2 card even though I disabled the onboard sound card. Well the conflict isn't bad however the game port doesn't want to install properly. Never had it with my previous MSI board. Anyone got a clue what it could be about? Do mind that this is not an urgent problem it's more a curiousity I have since I never had trouble with my sound card before.
Well I don't mean to nag or give criticism, but really guys, this board costed a nice amount of money and I can honestly say that I didn't pay for additional trouble. First time ever I had massive trouble like this with an MSI board. Even after updating EVERY driver there is and even BIOS versions the problems seem to stay identically the same so I can only assume there is a hardware/firewall problem somewhere. Any form of help would be extremely appreciated.

I know how to fix the gameport problem, have to do each every format.
1 Put the Audigy in the slot one above the orange one.
2 Install drivers off disk and reboot.
3 Download latest audigy webupdate's
4 Install webupdates and reboot
5 On reboot it will ask for CTGAME.SYS
6 Grab it off the audigy install cd.
7 Reboot
8 On first boot it will be really slow, but dont worry cause next step solves this.
9 Update the drivers again using the webupdate you downloaded
10 Reboot
11 No slow boot and problem gone, gameport detected and working properly.

Will K8N Neo4 Platinum board be compatible with Dual AMD64?

Only that because i´m thinking to buy one with a 3000+ Venice and 2x512 Twinmos DDR400 ram modules.
will K8N Neo4 Platinum board be compatible with Dual AMD64 (AMD64 X2)?

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.

K8N Platinum Video and S-ATA issues

hey,
here is my problem: i bought some hardware 3 weeks ago, including:
A64 3800+ (Venice), MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (MS-7125), Leadtek PX6800 GT TDH (265MB), Be Quiet! 450 Watt Titanium S1.3
in exchange for my old system (2500+, Abit K7N, ATi Radeon 9800SE AiW, 320W Enermax PSU)
the hardware change went great, had no errors after the exchange, windows xp (sp2) worked for 2 weeks. though, some things are errorous like the nForce eth being detected but no drivers installed, nForce raid not being detected - stuff like that probably resulting from a missing format c: and really clean install.
now things get quite strange. a friend of mine gave me 2 of his s-ata hdds (both maxtor, one 160gb and the other 200gb) - after plugging them onto the nforce s-ata raid, i was still able to get into the bios (at this time it was the biosversion the board shipped with) but the keyboard was locked (or the pc froze after entering the bios - can't tell for sure). unplugged the drives - and it was working again.
let's get to the main problem. after the problems above i thought "well, ok, let's reset the cmos, maybe i configured it wrong" so i shut down my pc and pushed the "clear cmos" button - then i did a normal boot, i heared the "beep", everything was just fine - but my TFT stayed black. i had a similar situation on my old board, so i disconnected the psu and removed the battery for 10 seconds. boot: display worked again. i immediately checked my bios (which was indeed resetted) but did not change anything. reboot -> black screen. now, the funny thing is.. the gfx card got 2 dvi and 1 s-video output (one dvi and s-video were connected) so i checked my tv - guess what, i saw the POST now i knew the board was "working" and my assumptions of which the black screen results in a crashed videocard/mobo were wrong. i sat there and watched windows xp boot up - and suddenly (after the xp vga drivers have been loaded i guess) my tft displays the image!
now this is VERY odd and tbh i really don't know what to say. anyways, i started msi liveupdate and downloaded/installed the latest official bios update (via winflash because i don't have a floppy anymore) to see if that might fix something. it didn't.
and now here i am, desperate and confused because i don't know whether or not it's a mobo or gfx issue - all i know is that it suddenly appeared after the cmos clear (sadly there's no "description" of whether you should press that button when the pc is shut off, psu is disconnected, mobo is running its post whatever) and i can't find a logical reason for this behaviour
to add another detail to the story, after i found out the video output was sent via s-video, i tried all combinations (dvi1 connected, dvi2 not, s-video not / dvi1 not, dvi2 connected, s-video not / dvi1 + 2 not, s-video connected / etc.) but the only source i can get the post from (until WinXP loads) is the s-video out.
i think maybe it could be the gfx card's bios, which loads up BEFORE the post begins (leadtek welcome screen, ram counts itself -> post -> os) but i'm not sure about it either
ANY help is very appreciated
*edit* i forgot to mention: it worked before! after hitting this nifty little button, the display problems began...

K8n Platinum Help!!!

i just bought the k8n platinum and i fitted it in a thermaltake case vm2000 or something. i have a problem tho, when i plug in the power it starts automatically and i get lotsa numbers on screen like "verifying DMI Pool Data" and then i get lotsa 99, 99, 99, etc. then if i power it off, it wont really turn on. i mean there is power in the hd and dvd drivers but the light on them is constantly on. also sometimes the fan on the cpu and graphics card wont turn on, even tho the power is on.
i m running an athlon 64 3400+, a radeon 9800 pro, 1gb memory (ddr 400) 2x512mb one is elixir and one is adata, 120gb maxtor master, 200gb sata seagate baracuda, msi dr8-a2 dvdrw, liteon 52x32x52x, a 550 q-tec power supply
what can be wrong?
i dont think its the graphics or ram cuz i tried different ones.
oh and the power led on the case keeps flashing.
any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

the cmos jumper? i did all that. i powered it up. everything sounds ok, fan is spinning and all, but it hangs imediately,i dont get any display. the d-bracket always shows 4 red leds which would mean cpu problems or not installed correctly.
i removed the cpu make sure its ok, put it back on but still nothing.
by the way it wont power off unless i pull the plug. i think it might be the board.
i think i ll send both cpu and board back to the seller so they can check whats actually wrong.

K8N-PLATINUM NF4U SLI and PSU Question

Hi
I have read a lot in these forums about the issues arose with the K8N-PLATINUM NF4U SLI board and the PSUs most of the users have.
Because I am going to buy the specific board i would like your opinion about the SilentPurePower 560W PSu of ThermalTake.
It gives 22A on 12V trail and it comes with a 20 to 24 pin adapter for Server motherboards use.
In addition I am going to use 2 sata Hds as raid and 2 DVD drives( one of them DVD-R) and the SoundBlaster Audigy 2 Zs.(Of course the onboard soundcard will be disabled).
Do you think that the PSU will be adequate?
Thanks for your help

Thanks for your reply blazing storm but many people here talk all about a "safe minimum of 24A on the 12V trail".
But if i sum up all my power requirements( dvds , processor:AMD 64 3500+ , HDDs etc) i come up with 18 or 19A.
After all the MSI itself suggest for it's K8n Platinum NF4U SLI at least 450W and greater than 18A on 12V trail so I suppose that it wiil be ok.
Maybe 24A it is proper for future upgrades.

K8N Platinum - SATA RAID issue

Hey there everyone, I have recently decided to reinstall XP on my system and I require the drivers that were included on the two floppy disks that came with my Mobo. I have recently moved houses and lost both of the disks in the process. I have tried a variety of drivers from the internet but to no prevail. I cannot remember what the disks were labeled as but Im hoping somebody out there has them!

read Moan Guide
do you mean K8N Neo Platinum board? if yes you can find drivers which you need here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=574
if no be more specific for the exact mainboard model.

Should I get a K8N Platinum?

Hi guys,
Should I get a K8N Platinum when have the opportunity to sell my old K8T?
The missing AGP/PCI lock is driving me nuts on my K8T,
so please tell me your oc records with air cooling on K8N Platinum.
I got 228 stable but after that my raid 0 broke.
3dmark03 figures to compare the setups are also appreciated.
I got 6003 3dmarks with nothing occed and win xp64.
Does the HD led actually work with two SATA drives @ RAID 0?
Is the hardware firewall already working properly?
Anyone having problems with Infineon DDR 400 ram here?

Well... tested the rig with four different ATI cards now:
Two (a 9800np and a 9800 pro) works well.
and
Two other cards (9600XT - I believe (?) and a 9700) doesn't.
The first card (9600 something) keeps crashing while gaming - the latter (my own 9700) won't even make it to POST!
Cuz I'm a bit out of luck, but it's kinda funny that I've tested the same system with 5 different Geforce cards (Geforce SD-ram
Me confused *gg*
So basicly I'm saying: Don't fix it if it ain't broken - don't risk the issues K8N has with memory and ATI cards - unless your present hardware are recommended for use with the K8N. It's simply not worth it for a few extra 3DMark points.
Don't get my wrong. K8N IS a great, but sensitive board.
Don't skip an already great running A64 solution unless you're ready to invest money in memory and a GFX if need be.
If you 'only' have an Athlon XP solution though, I'd say: Go for it!
PS My rig: Antec 550 TruePower, K8N, 2x 512 MB. Geil PC3200 memory and a couple of Hitachi 7K250 SATA disks in RAID0. Unfortunately, forced to run an old G.F. 3 card. :(

Problem with K8N Platinum Plus

Greetings all,
I am an veteran builder and am having a strange behavior that I need some help with. Here is some background on parts:
MSI K8N Platinum Plus
2 x 1GB OCZ PC-3200 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K)
600W OCZ supply
X2 4400+
(2) eVGA 7900GT's
(I can give more specs if necessary)
Problem:
The board posts and I can interate just fine up until the OS boots... I just partition copied my previous Windows XP SP2 installation from my old HDD to the new one. I knew that XP would rescan hardware and I had a 50/50 chance of not having to reinstall. Each time I boot the box and let XP load it gets to the "starting up" and does nothing... goes no where, yet the keyboard is not locked up (CAPS lock turns on and off still). I left it running for about an hour, just hoping... nope. Ok, so fresh install, whatever... XP disc starts up and just as it goes to flip over to start the installer the monitor goes black! Nothing, CDROM spins down and nothing EVER happens. I tried flashing the beta (NOT what I would normally do) bios, but nothing changed. I tried other memory, no change. I pulled one of my video cards (no more SLI), no change... pulled the sound card, no change... Wierdest thing is that is both cases (booting old XP and trying to install new) the machine is not locked up.
Ideas?

Quote from: Richard on 18-April-06, 04:34:25
Jason,
There are people that do not like multiple RAILs on PSUs for supplying high power systems. Personally I think that a high end Power Supply with multiple RAILs will work but the lower end PSUs with multiple RAILs will not supply the needed juice.
Multiple RAIL PSUs are a new technology and with all new technologies there are going to be teething problems. It is to be expected.
I was trying to figure out why your old comp stopped working too.
On the new comp, lets try Bare Bones for the install of your OS. I would like CPU with heatsink/fan, 1 Vid Card, 1 stick of RAM at 3.4.4.8 Timing with the Voltage bumped up one notch, 1 HD and if you are using RAID 0 - then 1 Array, 1 Optical Drive, no PCI Cards, Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor. Lets see how far you get though a fresh install.
Take Care,
Richard
I will try this tonight... last night I tried something VERY close to what you are suggesting, the only difference is that I am not sure that I used 3.4.4.8 on timings... I just used whatever the default timings on the DIMMs are, which should be 2.3.2.5. I only have one HDD, 1 Video card, DVDRW, floppy, CPU, memory (1 green, 1 purple -- is this right?) and that did not work either with DVI connect or using VGA through DVI adapter. I did see that someone else was having some Video cracking using a DVI connector... wondering if mine is somehow related to that problem... although, I get NO video (past POST) and he does.
As far as the multi-rail thing... well, if the PSU is on the "A" list of DFI's and nVidia gives it a "SLi certified" then I would think that it would be just fine. Is my power supply fine or not?

Sound problems K8N Platinum Sli neo4

My system:
K8N Platinum Sli Neo4
Asus Nvidia 6800TD
AMD64 FX-55 (not overclocked) 2.6Ghz
2 x 512 Corsair 3200XLPT
Hiper Type-R series 480W PSU
Creative Labs 7.1 T7900 speakers
2 x SATA 80Gb Hitachi HGST 7200rpm / 8Mb
I didnt have the problem at the beggining (Had the system 2 weeks, and its been ongoing for a week or so.) but it seems to start after getting into windows... every few minutes "SHHHHHH" then it gets more often, then its just NON stop and a reboot doesnt clear it, nor does turning off/on the power for the speakers. You can faintly still hear the others sounds of games/music, but that much noise over the top is silly. I read here about the power supply problems. Not having a -5v and maybe not enough Amps, but i dont want to jump the boat and replace my PSU, seeing as i do get sound anyway, so maybe its not the problem. I see in the PSU manual, it quotes about pin 7 and 20 being -5VDC. I take it thats the ones i need? and on the +12V1 18A, so thats too low Amp wise, could be the prob? (dunno what the VDC and V1 is about). Also it seems to be the LEFT and RIGHT speakers mainly... the green lead. Soon as i take that out, the "SHHHHHH" stops, except for a few occasions on the remaining speakers. One last thing, ive not been able to get sound from the Middle right or left speakers, except when i change to 5.1 in the settings and flip the 5.1 convert to 7.1 switch on the Amplifier, and it makes the side speakers the rear ones, lol.
It doesnt seems to be a problem with my speakers, because i can plug any headphones/speakers in that green socket and "SHHHHH" again. Im out of ideas, so anyone else know about a solution???

Hi Jamesfle,
if you want the onboard sound to work properly & you feel your psu is under amped & especially if you purchased both mobo & psu from same supplier (you can argue incompatability). i'd try to rma the PSU At worse you may have a restocking fee but at least you'll have something that works properly with
Alternatively but possibly with a longer lead time follow Wonkanoby's suggestion to return the mobo for MSI to supply a non -5v board.
luck

MSI K8N NEO2 Plantinum 54g, Fails to Boot.

It has only been problems.
HK: MSI K8N NEO2 Plantinum 54g
CPU: AMD64 3200 Winchester
PSU: CWT 350 W 12=16A , Chieftech 360W 12=18A.
RAM: Corsair PC3200 XL Pro, have been testing with other corsair and Kingmax.
I have been trouble shooting for about 14 Hours now. But the pc just dont want to work. The thing that happens is that i turn it on. Then it turns it self off randomly. Sometimes after 5 sec hen 20 sec then 15 sec ect ect. I cant even get into Bios. Well have been into it for about 1 sec , doesnt help much.
I could think it is the ram but it works in other computers so does the powers. But if I use the Xl Pro Ram then the screen is showing and it lasts never more than 20 sec. With other Ram it goes forever but i get no picture on monitor. And the speacker goes like Beeeeep, Beeeep Beeeeeep, Beeeeeep Beeeeeep. I have Flashed the bios to the 1.3 version, with Hotswap. But it didnt help much.
And by the way the Zalman CNPS7000BCU its metall backplate does not damage the HK because the hole under is to Big.

Hi !
Well, I have that problem, too. I think the reason is a new RAID-BIOS-Version built in the BIOS-Update. I´ve tried the beta-versions V1.51 and V1.5X, too - but they won´t run anyway.
My WinXp hangs while booting (before the WINDOWS-XP-Logo appears, or while fading in...). I cannot reinstall Windows completely because, when I install the 2 raid-drivers, the installation routine hangs before the licensetext - when I don´t install the drivers i cannont install on the raid-drive (beacuase the installation routine shows 2 hdds).
I think, a new driver will solve this problem, but I don´t know where to find it....

K8N Platinum SLI

Their is a review over at Xbitlabs on the Diamond board. Xbitlabs - Diamond Review
It states that the K8N Platinum SLI board is actually using the nForce4 Ultra chipset?? and not the nForce4 SLI chipset?
MSI’s product range also includes an analogous mainboard called K8N SLI Platinum which is a little bit less expensive than the K8N Diamond, is based on the nForce4 Ultra and, accordingly, doesn’t support the SLI mode. So, one of the PCI Express x16 slots of the K8N SLI Platinum works as PCI Express x2 on the logical level. Otherwise the two mainboard models are identical.
Yet the specs on MSI's web site definatly state it is using the nForce4 SLI chipset.
K8N Platinum SLI
Can someone from MSI clear this up, is it the SLI or Ultra chipset and is it capable of 8x/8x and not 16x/2x as Xbitlabs have stated.

XBit got it wrong. MSI Taiwan first listed these boards, (three of them) named K8N SLI Platinum, K8N Diamond, and K8N Neo 4 Platinum. Both the SLI Platinum and the K8N Diamond use the NF4 SLI chip.
The confussion begins when MSI USA renames the K8N SLI Platinum to K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI. These are the same boards. Both the K8N Diamond & K8N SLI Platinum//NEO 4 Platinum SLI use the same NF4 SLI chip. Only the K8N Neo 4 Platinum uses the Ultra chip.
I've looked at the Diamond specs and the actuall board the US has, (K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI) and they are identical. Same amount of sata ports, same amount of onboard lan ports. The only difference between these two boards was A)where they are being marketed, & B)The Diamond was to include the BT & WiFi, plus the piece of plastic for the Diamond Club.
These are actual .jpg's of the actual boards.
Link to Neo 4 Platinum SLI
Link to Diamond
Link to Platinum SLI UK
The Ultra listing is also wrong in both countries, it is actually shipping with two onboard lan connections, four nv sata connectors, four silicon image sata connectors. Link to Ultra Pic

Gskill memory with msi neo4 k8n platinum sli

have checked the stickies and couldn't see anything
will this be compatible with the above ?
G.Skill 1GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x512MB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit
thanks in advance

Quote from: blazing storm on 16-February-05, 01:46:02
It's still a Neo 4 board, notice the diamond version doesn't say Neo 4 either.
Thats incorrect, the "K8N Platinum SLI" and the "K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI" are different by the missing silicone image SATA controller and single vs duel gigabit nic's...
K8N Platinum SLI = 4 SATA ports and single Gb Nic (this is the low cost SLI option)
K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI is sold in America and is identical to the Diamond (has the silicone image SATA controller) for 6 SATA ports and Dual Gb Nic's but don't expect the Duel Net Card with bluetooth and wireless.
K8N Neo4 Platinum is the plain old nforce4 ultra offering.
Check the differences on msicomputer.com vs msi.com.tw and it will become clearer, its taken me 2 months to get my head around it all.

Should i buy this MSI K8N NEO board or shouldi skipp it ?

Im reading so many problems that you guys are having with this board that it makes those reviews i read seem fake. For one i was gana buy a Dangerden RBX waterblock to continue the watercooling on my pc which iv done for 2 years now, with a 3000+ clawhammer Mobile and this MSI K8N NEO platinum board.
Now im reading on here in the faq and from otherp eople that the board supportsm obiles but has tons of Quirks in it, people o nthe overclockers.com forums with mobiles and this board have to run @ 1.7 to get the cpu to run @ stock thats pathetic. Also i keep seeing people o nthese forums that are only getting 166fsb/250HTT ratios, or lower.
I thought this board can do 300HTT or maybe close to it. Yet tons of people are getting only 210-240HTT max on thier board's. because they cant seem to lower the multi's.
Now that i read all this stuff im thinking of buying the new Epox board with a desktop 3200 clawhammer, unless thier are some people out thier who havent had any probs with mobiles and overclocking.

It isnt just the Graphic issue with the 9600's im talking abut, its the whole bunch of otherp roblems, where people cant install windows xp or 2000, or are having overclocking issues, or having issues with 2 or more sticks of ram, where some boards support mobiles and some dont and the ones that do like the K8N NEO have major problems like Multiplyer and voltage issues.
Its really very sad. Im pissed off right now iwanna upgrade my pc but it seems any mobo i wanna go to has major problems.

K8n neo2 Plat 54G, allround WLAN card

Does someone know if the WLAN PCI card provided with
the k8n neo2 Plat 54G will work in any other PCI slot
on any other motherboard? Reason I ask is the orange
colour slot on k8n Neo2, which is 'reserved' for the
WLAN PCI card, hints to be some kind of conditional slot?
I have a wireless network at home, but not using the k8n
wirelessly, but some other boxes could.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but figured someone might have use of this info.
As an update, a good while back I put this WLAN card in an ECS VIA KM266 board, seemed to work, but was not too pleased with its performance or the SW MSI had along with this card. So I used another wireless solution instead.
Today decided to see if any new drivers around for this card.
The wireless chip on this card is a RT2500 by RaLink.
Looked up at their website and found driver version 3.2.0.0, date 26-Oct-2007.
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Windows.html
This driver appear to work OK, the connection stays up, even at weak transmission conditions. The speed is not amazing but works. I assume it works reasonably well under good signal conditions.
EDIT: new version posted, version 3.2.0.10, date 12-Feb-2009.

Whining platinum board

NiclordOnly one way the help this one out.
Use other PSU.
With my AerocoolII 550Watt I had had this problem to.
Now I use a levicom 500Watt and the mobo works better all the way and the high pitch sound is gone to.
I think the K8N don't like to high voltage rails.
hmm, never even thought of that, but thanks i'll try another psu.
