K8N SLI Platinum with SLI + X-Fi + TV tuner card

has anyone have the above mentioned working?
currently have 1 X 7800gt and a digital tv card. im thinking of getting an x-fi card + another 7800gt
it was a bitch to get the tv card working due to the silicon controller conflict. i can imagine how much bandwidth the x-fi and tv card would consume
so anyone has those combination working, i would really like to know
thanks

I can't tell you exactly what you are looking for, but for what you want to do, an SLI board is not the recommended setup.
And you've pretty much illustrated what I've been saying for some time.
That is why I have what I have in my signature, and the board sitting in a box on my shelf is a K8N Neo4 Platinum.
There may be more Tv cards based on the PCI-e hitting the market in the future. But an SLI setup in conjuction with a nice PCI sound card, and a PCI Tv Tuner is going to be a pretty good challenge. It may work, but you may experience flaky behavior.
If you do get this working, then let me know...

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 platinum with tagan 480 PSU NO SOUND from onboard realtek 850 :-( Help

I've hit a brick wall.
my sound card does not work and i have the amd 64bit 3500+ with msi-7125 version X.1.
Can anyone help as my next option is to go back to crapy yoyo tech who recommended and speced the solution knowing that there is an issue with the diamond model of the motherboard as you need -5 v for sound to work :-( nice!
I've tried triders from nvidia (forceware stuff) and got latest amd driver + msi live update.
Have not connected the front panel speaker connections either.
Thanks in advance peeps.

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!

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

Hi all,
Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
First all all system specs:
Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
NEC 2500a DVD writer.
Eye-T 550w PSU.
Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glenn

When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ? Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ? It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable). I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly. Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

K8N Neo Platinum with Nvidia Unified Audio Drivers

Hi, I have two hard drives in my PC. I'm testing out the feasibility of me running X64 at the moment. I have newly installed X64 Windows XP on one new 2nd drive and used 5-5_xp64_dd_cp.exe for my ATI 9800 pro card with no problems. Then I have installed the nForce_6.25_WinXP64_international.exe audio drivers for my on board Realtek AC97 because i have heard they are better than the Realtek drivers themselves and the Nvmixer utility looks good. Ok, no problems.
I was so impressed with the X64 Nvidia drivers that I have decided in the meantime to replace the Realtek drivers with Nvidia ones on my 1st drive that has already got Windows XP Pro installed on it. So I uninstalled the Realtek and replaced them with these nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_english.exe unified audio drivers.
But, for some reason, they dont work. As I understand, the Nforce 5.10 are unified drivers and should replace the original Realtek ones i had installed on my 1st drive. I see no speaker icon on my taskbar and when i click to open nvmixer on my programs list, a message appears stating it cannot open as there is no nvidia compatible sound hardware present in my machine. I already know this is not the case as the X64 Nvidia drivers work for my X64 installation on the 2nd drive.
Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

The sound quality on those compared to the 4.57 standalone nvidia (that has its own version of the realtek AC97 codec and updated interface drivers) is not as good. Theres a long thread on here if you search for it for peoples opinions.

Shovon, the latest AC97 drivers from www.msicomputer.com will work perfectly for the K8N Neo2 Platinum
I currently have thwm running and have no problems
Go to that website, put the cursor over the 'Support' header and a drop down menu appears.
Click on Downloads.
Scroll down till you see the mother board K8N Neo2 Platinum(under the main heading Slot 939/K8)
Click on the link, and you'll come to the drivers page.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with Western Digital 750Gb Caviar Green 32mb

Hi all, this is my first post and im a bit of a numbskull when it comes to upgrading, thus this post.
My HDD is on its last legs and I want to get a Western Digital 750Gb Caviar Green 32mb. Im not sure weather it will work with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025). Can anyone help me out? If you have any suggestions for a better HDD to go for that would also be appreciated, Cheers

Burst speeds are high mainly because of the disk's cache. That's the only part of the HDD that can get near the maximum bandwdth of the controller.
The bottleneck for speed is in the fact that the HDD's mechanical properties won't allow it to work faster. With SSD's it is or will be different.
Back to topic: the WD Green is an excellent choice. I've 6 of those running here now, 5 in a NAS and 1 in my pc and they're simply good. Not the fastest, but very stable, quiet and fast enough.

K8n neo platinum with 3-4 gig

does anybody have this board running with either 3 or 4 gig of ram? Details please??
I thought I was buying a ddr400 board for 4 gig of ram. I'm a little pissed that i will probably end up with 3 gig at ddr 333. If i can't even get that then i'll have to replace with a good motherboard.
Thanks,

It's a k8n neo2 platinum
The memory charts and specs are confusing and contridictory and wrong. They esentialy duplicate what's in my manual.
page 8: chart for DDr 400 showing 128 to 1 gig on each channel and system density of 512 to 4 gig
just below that is another chart for memory combinations that shows 4 double sided dimms runs at DDR 333
Since there is no such thing as a single sided 1 gig dimm i'll assume the first chart is wrong.
in between is a note that says installing 3 modules can cause failure.
page 9: a note says the system density will only be detected up to 3 gig when all slots are filled with 1 gig dimms.
This seems to imply that I have to install 4 1 gig dimms to get 3 gigs usable. and there is aparently no way to get 4 gigs usable. Despite the numerous other places in the manual and msi's website that call this a 4 gig board.
After studying the manual, and msi's website, I don't know what the max memory is for this board or what to buy to get there. I'm reluctant to spend anymore money on memory that won't work unless somebody else has tried it first. There aparently are a lot of people running 2 1 gig modules sucessfully, but I need more. Is anybody running 3 or 4 gig?

K8N Neo platinum with 3 Ram slots full?

Looking to upgrade my Athlon 64 3400+ (ClawHammer C0) from 1GB to 2GB.
One of the options would be to add a 1GB DIMM to the two existing 512MBs. I know this would drop me back to DDR333, but would there be other problems?
The board's a K8N Neo Platinum.
Thanks in advance
Derek

It really depends on your processor, since that is where the memory controller is. The newer Sempron 64 based on venice cores can handle 3 dimm's at 400 mhz fine (I think)
Newcastle cores and the older Sempron have issues, im not familiar with them so I dont know.
well, your close.....newcastles (least the one i have) and venices (for sure) can handle the 3dimms (in most cases....depending on ram brand, timings, etc...) and keep the 400mhz. i know i read a review somewhere that the memory controllers on clawhammers are Low Latency Brand picky. most of them would produce errors out the wazzoo with (for example: corsair 2-3-3-6 1t memory ) common ultra brand memory. i remember this review showing the twinmos wouldnt even post. i had a choice between two processors (3400+ clawhammer and the newcastle i have) i wanted the clawhammer cause i here they are wannabee fx's in the makin when overclockin but i did my homework (read/searched many reviews) and found that the clawhammer and using 3 double sided LL memory modules was a shot in the air. didnt want to take that chance for 512k more cache and have a unstable puter. i MUST have my patriot memory (cause they rock...) so when newcastle came i placed my dual channel (512mb x 2) kit in and walla....workin fine...placed my 1 gig stick in..... .......i bet the clawhammer would of worked (since i havent herd any issues with memory and clawhammers) but didnt want to take the chance.
what was your cpu stepping may i ask?? CO was the big booger that had memory picky issues and not being able to use 3 dimms at 400mhz stable.
edit to my previous post.....
1 dimm used (dont matter on what size of memory module) would yield the best bandwidth scores. 2 or 3 dimms being used would yield same scores (and not matter which stick in what slot.....all combos gave me pretty much same scores).

K8N Neo2 Platinum with 512 MB or 1GB DDR? Which amount do you suggest?

Looking for personal experience and feedback as to whether or not its worthwhile to go for 1GB of DDR rather than my current 512 MB DDR. Also if there is a correlation between stability and DDR ram amount, I'd be interested to hear of it.
If my PC is the following:
1. Enermax CS-656-TA ATX case (Case fan, USB x 2 , audio I/O, Firewire x 1, temperature readout, fan speed control and 350 PSU all for only $77!! Of course, I used the 350 PSU in my fathers PC and for this PC I'm using the PSU below)
2. Enermax 420 watt noisetaker PSU (one of the most efficient) One case fan that came with and one Antec automatic with thermistor
3. MS XP Pro upgrade with SP2
4. MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum socket 939
5. AMD64 3000+ winchester 939 CPU (to be isntalled using Artic Silver)
6. OCZ Premier Dual Channel 2 x 512 MB PC3200 DDR (OCZ4001024PDC-K 2x512M PC3200 Kit 2.5-3-3-7)
7. ATI 9700 Pro AGP video card (I plan to underclock it when not in use for 3D games. I may upgrade to a 9800 Pro (preferably R360 core) or a 9800 XT or nvidia 6600GT. Whichever video card I get, I'll be underclocking it when not playing 3D games etc.
8. Mitsumi 1.44 MB floppy and card reader via USB 2.0 (only card reader is USB 2.0 connected)
9. Seagate 7200.7 200 GB SATA HD x 1 (may keep WD 80 GB EIDE but no need)
10. LG 4163B DVD RW - EIDE
11. Plextor 24/10/40 CDRW - EIDE
12. Adaptec 2930U SCSI card;
13. Pioneer 303S SCSI drive and; (dormant. Won't be used except to test and compare its read performance with the other two drives before selling)
14. Umax 1200S SCSI scanner
15. Onboard sound, apparantly not great
16. Onboard LAN, nForce 3 LAN is ok but second LAN I'll not use it
So how much difference would I see with using 1 GB of DDR memory vs 512 MB? For what applications?
thanx

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Raid 0

Hi, I had face problem when Raid 0 try to run Windows XP. While i at windows logon screen, my system will auto restart. no even one time i can login to windows.
i download the latest raid driver from MSI website for the driver but the problem can't solve. what actually is the problem there? is that the latest raid driver not really supported for nForce 3 board?
thank alot.

This has been a real mess for a long time.
Sometimes a newer or older driver with a certain version doesn't work well with a given nvraid.rom firmware .
BIOS 1.4 for MS-7030 has the nvraid firmware "NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS 4.59" .
And in theory you should use nvraid.sys nvatabus.sys with version 4.59 if you stay with that bios version.
Newest bios for MS7030/MS7025 have nvraid rom firmware 4.81 .
The BIOS 1.7 (most usable one) for MS-7030 have "NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS 4.60" .
The nvraid driver files in nvidia package 5.10 use 4.46 and this works with your bios version .
The delivered floppy called NVSA020 use driver 4.15 and it's way to old to use , so you have to
create an updated driver floppy.
Note ! that from firmware "NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS 4.84" new drivers from 6.86 package work great.
But no NF3's have this rom version .
The 4.79 driver disk mentioned by LairdDrambeg is a great "allround" that works with most bios versions rom firmware as far as I know.

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)
