K8T NEO-FIS2R and S.M.A.R.T

Does anyone have a disk drive with S.M.A.R.T "working" in their system? by working I mean that you are able to use/monitor any of the disk drive attributes associated with SMART. I do have SMART enabled in the bios but I have tried several utilities and all of them state that my drives (see signature are not SMART enabled.) I'm wondering if this is an issue with the SATA driver or if Raid 0 is somehow screws SMART up?
Any Thoughts?
Thanks

dont think smart is active with raid 0,as two drives are needed to create a raid 0,but will be active with non raid drives,at least thats what i have seen.

K8T Neo-FIS2R and 2.2 bios problem

I flashed the bios of my K8T Neo-FIS2R to version 2.2.
Everytime I boot the system, I can just see the Windows XP logo appearing for a second, then the system reboots again.
I reflashed from a floppy to version 2.1 again, but still the same problem.
My HDD is a Western Digital SATA drive on the VIA controller.
Can somebody please help me out?
THX!
Marco

Thanks for your support!
After reflashing to 2.0 I still had the same problem.
The bios was not causing the problem. In some way, Windows couldn't load the SATA driver properly, I think.
I removed the SATA HDD from the VIA controller and connected it to the Promise controller, and surprisingly, Windows started again.
The HDD LED works on the Promise, but not on the VIA, so I left the HDD on the Promise controller. The LED problem is now solved as well.
I still don't know exactly what was going on. Anyway, it wasn't MSI or the new bios, it was Microsoft...

K8T Neo FIS2R and DDR400

I'm looking to buy a K8T Neo2 FIS2R soon and I'm wondering what DDR400 to get for it. I'm looking at 2 sticks of 512Mb either Crucial or Kingmax, and I would like to know if anyone has used either of these sucessfully with this board.
The part munber of the Crucial is CT6464Z40B.
I'm not sure of the part number for the Kingmax, but it's available at http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductsList.asp?Submit=Search&Category=27
Any experience of either of these modules would be helpful.

K8T Neo FIS2R and AMD DTR 3400+ compatability - Bios Update ?

As title , trying to install AMD64 DTR 3400+ cpu on mobo with no luck.
Currently running AMD64 3200+ on board with no problems. Install this cpu and no boot up can get as far a Bios set-up where i choose default optimal bios but then the system just hangs.
Have never updated bios , so i assume i'm still using V.1 ( had this set-up for almost 2 years )
Tried CMOS clearing , no luck.
As last resort ( after reading tales of disaster ! ) I tried to flash Bios to V 1.9 ( as reccommended for old clawhammers ) but didn't work ;
Created dos start up disk
at a> prompt , followed instructions to the letter , but kept getting "invalid drive" error messages.
So still using bios v.1
Any Help ??
Thanks,
Mark

Do you still have the old CPU? If so pop it in and run Live update and do a Bios Update. Do not let it do more than create the Flash disk and instyall the files on the flash disk. Shut down Live update at that point and take the 1.9 imge that you have and rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM and copy it onto the new floppy you made.
Shut down and go into Bios. Turn off Boot Block Virus protection and set the 1st Boot device to Floppy. Pop in the new floppy you made and reboot. Follow the instruction that come up on the screen. turn off the machine after the flash is done.
Go back into Bios and reset Optimal Defaults. Save and exit and then shut back down.
You should be fine at this point to install that new CPU.

Onboard 5.1 sound noisy - K8T Neo FIS2R

Hi guys, i'm new here.
Well, i got a K8T Neo FIS2R and the 5.1 sound is noisy. I've tried many different drivers, replaced my 5.1 speakers for new ones and it doesn't work properly at all. I've been using a 2.1 system and it works just fine. Has anyone seen this problem? any advice?
Thanks in advance
Kein

LOL OK you can save us time by replying to that end the next time. Thanks.
I know it may seem trivial but I can't count how many times a suggestion was assumed to have been tried and it turned out to be the fix in the end. So if we seem grouchy about getting a reply remember that we aren't the only one's that waste time chasing stuff when no one let's us know what they have tested.
OK back to your problem. There are no magic buttons to push. If you have tried other speakers and drivers then it is likely something on the MB that is causing the problem. It could be a power line somewhere close to a chip or connection, it could be a bad ground. If you have a Sound card handy you could also check it to see if the problem goes away. Otherwise you may have to RMA it.

K8T Neo-FIS2R Hard drive configuration questions

Im looking to buy this board in maybe a month or less (K8T Neo-FIS2R), and was wondering about configuring hard drives
I will get the version which has the promise controller on board, fo SATA RAID
The Plan is to get two Wetern Digital Raptor drives and put them in RAID 0 together.
however i will still have my DVD Writer, removeable hard drive bay (takes one IDE) and my current 80GB Seagate drive.
if i use the SATA RAID, do i have to use IDE3 for all the other devices, or can i just plug them into the IDE1 and IDE2 slots?
Also you are able to select SATA to boot from in bios correct? i have never done raid so have no idea how it works . and do you have to load RAID drivers or something before setting up windows?

anyone?

Difference between K8T Neo-FIS2R & FSR

Might be a daft question but whats the difference between K8T Neo-FIS2R and K8T Neo-FSR????

I though the SAME thing But was told Otherwise by a Mod. Because with the PENTIUM Based Boards "2" Does Mean Two Different Types of RAID Not JUST the Difference in the Southbridge and the Onboard Controller, Because the (2) in the i875PE-FIS2R means that Both the ICH5-R and And the Promise Controller support BOTH S-ATA RAID, and P-ATA IDE RAID, as there is a P-ATA IDE Controller on The Onboard Promise Chip also, as it is IDE-3 .....So I Imagine we are BOTH Correct, But this WILL Teach me to Open my Mouth in the AMD Side of the Forum ...Just Kidding......Sean

Wrong multiplier k8t neo-fis2r

Just recently finished setting up my new computer and I noticed that CoreCenter is telling me that my system is at 200x5
Im using,
mobo: k8t neo-fis2r
and cpu: Athlon 64 2800+ Newcastle running at 1.5v
updated to version 2.2 of the bios
os is Windows 2000 pro sp4 and SuSE Linux 9.2 pro(main os)
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 200x9. I've read that the multiplier can't be changed in my bios, if true is there any other way to change the multiplier?
any help is appreciated,
Shawn

whoops just figured out my own problem....it had to do with cool and quiet....sorry to bother

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - Which slot sound card?.

Hi all,
I have a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R and was wondering which slot to put my sound card in?.
At the mo it's in pci slot 4 i only have 3/4and 5 availible becuase of my arctic cooler on my rad 9800 pro.
The sound card is on IRQ 19 sharing with the IEE1394 host controller, i dont use firewire so could i disable it in the bios?.
Cheers all.

Hi
Should not make any differance, don't worry about the IRQ, let the comp sort it out, it knows whats where, better than humans do.
Any probs, disable the onboard sound. maybe change PCI slot, but there should not be.
cheers

Msi K8T Neo-FIS2R built in 1394 shows up but doesn't work?

I have a msi K8T Neo-FIS2R, and the built in 1394 does not work. It shows up in windows but doesnt work when plugged in.
I have tried disabling and reenabling in the bios, and disabling almost all other things to eliminate an IRQ problem to no avail.
I have an audigy 2 ZS also which has a firewire port, which is working, but I'd like to have access to the mainboard's ports as well.
any suggestions?
Thanks

K8T Neo FIS2R "1394 Net Adapter" in XP's Device Manager

I can't get my firewire port to work or recognize devices attached to it!
I just built a system with the K8T Neo FIS2R and an Athlon 64 3400+ running at stock speeds. It also has GeiL Golden Dragon (matched pair) PC-3200 DDR which is running 1 trcd increment higher than rated to ensure stability. I have a lot of devices installed and have reinstalled windows fresh twice now with the same problem.
In device manager, the "VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" seems to be fine, but in the "Network adapters" category, I see my D-Link Wireless NIC (fine) and "1394 Net Adapter" with a big yellow exclamation mark next to it.
This computer is for a music studio and I absolutely have to use the firewire port because DigiDesign's Digi002 needs to be attached to the computer and communicating properly in order for ProTools 6.1 (our main studio software) to install and run.
I also have the BIOS set to enable the on-board sound, but I also have a pro-audio card installed (the M-audio Delta 1010) and the computer doesn't even see the on-board sound device whether enabled or disabled, when the M-audio card is installed (but this isn't my main concern, getting the firewire working is).

Where? Nobody seems to be able to provide a valid location to acquire this mysterious "1.3 beta BIOS". Someone mentioned it is on the german MSI website. If it is, it's hidden, because I scoured it and found nothing.

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (Socket 754) and Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB)

Hi I just ordered the following from overclockers.co.uk and wanting some confirmation that the memory will be compatible with this Mother board
Corsair 1GB DDR Value Select PC3200 Kit (2x512MB) and MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R
Thanks
Kevin

kevtucker,
I'm running the same setup up as you and have not experienced any ram related problems so far. I'm happy with it and it is very stable.
Every ram has different settings. For the corsair 1gb value select (2x512mb) you must make sure you use these settings for the best results:
put them in slots 1 and 3.
use the settings 2.5-3-3-8
set the ddr voltage 2.7
I got that information straight from the official corsair forums:

Good luck.

K8T Neo - FIS2R (model 6702) SATA and RAID Problems = Hair Loss

Hi All,
new to the forum, have searched but nothing like my problem exist.
I have a K8T Neo FIS2R M/B and trying to get a single SATA HDD working for my secondary drive. primary is a IDE which works well and I want to leave it.
I have plugged in the SATA HDD into the SER 1 port ( Promise 237 ?) anyhow the bois at startup or post recognises the drive, but then says soemthing like you have set up raid before F1 for setup F2 to continue to boot.
I have pressed both f1 and F2 at various time, but it appears that it want to turn the single drive into a RAID system, which is not possible with one drive !!....
Anyhow windows XP then boots up and loads a RAID driver and also the promise RAID drivers. the real problem is that XP sits and waits for the raid which never comes and during startup on XP. it is extremely slow.
Does anyone have any ideas. I am not that computer techy as you can see by the description, but it appears that I cannot get into the RAID bios to turn it off.. I have zapped the bios to try and reset it. basically i am loosing my hair ove this.
if anyone had some step by step instructions how to prevent raid from switching on at the bios and then in XP it would be greatly appreciated
Jeff

Hi All,
Sorry for the slow reply, retrieving the box from the bottom of the swimming pool !!!
I set it to SATA as you have indicated Hans, I did check that setting. Thankyou for checking.
Spray, I have tried the P20378 setting as well. You indicate that you need to press F6 when installing the OS. I have WinXP running already on an IDE master and am trying to set the SATA up as a secondary disk drive.
As I indicated above, the machine runs slowly to the point of it being a 486 when I use either promise or Via controllers.
I have since removed the drive and are now having problems with XP on boot up/startup. The thing seems to hang or go slowly when the horizontal bar runs across under the Windows XP logo. I have turned everything off in the bios both Promise and Via. I am at a loss as to why:
1 it runs slowly with the SATA drive in ( also does not show all the auto loading icons near the clock)
2. why it hangs when I remove it and turn both SATA controllers off in the bios.
I have a feeling that I may have corrupted part of the registry playing around. Any thoughts... going bald :-)
I really appreciate the feedback so far
