K8t Neo2-FIR: Promise 579 64-bit Drivers

I'm done beating around the bush, here is what I want/need/am wondering.
I know that using MSI's specific drivers for my motherboard work, while Promise's does not.
I know of 2 variants of the 64-bit drivers for the Promise 579 SATA RAID controller.
I know that both variant DO NOT WORK on my motherboard (or XP64 has a major glitch on recognizing an array even with appropriate drivers).
I DO NOT know if MSI has taken the time to make Promise 579 64-bit drivers for my motherboard, and if they did,
I DO NOT know where I can get MSI's Promise 579 64-bit drivers for my motherboard.
I have been told on more than one occasion that the VIA controller is not only slower, but impedes the ability to raise the 'FSB' to obnoxiously high numbers as I do with the Promise controller.
What I ask?
Drivers for the Promise 579 controller for my motherboard, confirmed operational by somebody with my motherboard. (I will test if they are that new.....)
Sorry for sounding mean or something, but my plan was to NOT have this current installation on this computer more than a week ago.

Patience my freind. Promise has to release drivers in order for MSI to have them to put up. We are all waiting for this same thing but there is little we can do until Promise puts that driver out. There were a couple floating about and they do not work. So you are in the same boat as the rest of us. Relax as it will happen but keep in mind that it took almost a year to get drivers when XP was first released. X64 has not been out long and already we have most of the drivers we need. We just need to politely mail Promnise and ask when they will be done.

MSI K8T Neo2 FIR, need help installing drivers

Hi there,
I need help with installing drivers. Here’s my setup:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Mainbord: MSI K8T Neo2 FIR (VIA K8T800Pro)
OS: Windows XP Professional, SP2 installed
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
I updated per MSI Live Monitor, but when I run ‘dxdiag’, I says I have to update the ‘VIA standard host bridge’. I don’t know what this is or where it can be found. It could be I saved the updated drivers in the wrong file (F:\ Program Files\...) where F is my primary harddisk and the drivers should be saved in F:\Windows\ System 32.
Also, my hardware setup tells me there are two videocards 'installed': a Radeon 9600 Pro and a radeon 9600 Pro (secundary). Do I need to de-install the secundary one?
Here’s a piece of my most recent dxdiag:

Help would be very much appriciated, thnx!

The two vis.cards issue is normal, it sees the primary output (VGA) as a device and the TV-out a separate device.
Go to device manager to see if there's any device on ur rig that doesn't have drivers.
Did u install the 4-in1 drivers, get the latest version from the MSI support site.
good luck.

Will the MSI K8T Neo2 FIR support what I have?

Well, I bought an abit av8 mobo, hoping to make my new happy computer system.. Turns out, after I built the thing, my happiness ended... I tried basic setup-1 dimm on each bank, nothing, same POST code. So, I RMA'ing the mobo and getting a MSI K8T Neo2 FIR mobo, hoping that it WILL work (a bit more, but worth it). Will it support what I have right now?
1 gig Crucial PC3200 Ballistix
1 WD 74 GB Raptor HDD
1 Maxtor 80 IDE HDD
1 XFX GeForce 6800 (it says minimum is a 300w PSU)
1 Thermaltake 480w Silent Purepower (+12 rail is 18a... mm... ouch...)
1 Thermaltake Venus 12 HSF
1 AMD 3500 Skt 939
1 Nec DVD+RW/-RW DVD burner
1 Mitsumi Floppy Drive
4 CoolerMaster Green LED fans
4 temperature controlled crystal fans
1 Blue LED fan
I think I might have to upgrade the PSU...

Nobody can garantee you that it works you have to pay s.o. to take risk or risk it yourself.
Well I'd just try it, you'll always find a friend that can lend you a stick of ram for a day or two.
I was working in a computer store when I got my rig and I tried 4 different kinds of memory till everything worked perfectly.
I just wanted to warn you, not to frighten you.
Moreover you could check MSIs memory compatibility list....

With MSI K8T NEO2 FIR Mb (help)

Hi.
I need some help....!
My computer contains:
AMD64 3500+ (130nm, Newcastle) socket 939
MSI K8T NEO2 FIR Hovedkort for S939 K8T800PRO
Kingston PC3200 HyperX DDR 1024MB CL2 Non-ECC Ultra Low Latency (2-2-2-5-1)
Gainward GeForce 6800GT 256MB GS GDDR3 AGP, "Ultra/2400 Golden Sample"
9 X Western Digital HD's
2 X Nec dvd-burning-r
A Gainward psu. (delivers "+3,3=28a" "+5=45a" "+12=20a" and a total of 550W)
I think I have a power problem... because the "+12" has a rather low number for this kind of system... and the BIOS is showing me that the "+12" reading is -- 11,42V -- This is idle in BIOS... and I got the same reading in Win... (idle)
The first thing I thought of was to disable as many disk's/cd-drives as I was able to... the only thing I have left is C: BUT!! the bios and windows gives me the same reading of the "+12" 11,42V.
Both +3,3 and +5 are on the + side.
The main problem is when I ex starts a game or a benchmark prog... Like HL2,battlefield,War3,3dmarks,Prime95 + + + the pc shuts down, or the prog/game won't run properly.... Kind of irritating!!!
Do anybody have any experience with this kind of problem?!?!?! I need help!
I thought of buying the OCZ 520w psu.... Does it solve the problem?
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_powerstream_power_supply
This psu should give me these specs:
520W:
+3.3V(28A)
+5V(40A)
+12V(33A)
Many Thanks for your help!!
regards.

Prime95 version 23.8.1 is my first choice, I run the torture test in blend mode because it uses lots of ram, very sensitive to errors. Pure math computataions and matched against known results.
I also use Hot Cpu tester Pro 4.2.2, they do have a free version as well it tests alot of different cpu instructions as well as memory simultaniously as well as doing a burn-in. Faster than Prime, nice when your overclocking since you can see what is failing sse instructions for example, then you can either up the cpu voltage or ram voltage depending on the test or back off the oc a bit.Used it alot with my old Barton 2500 rig.
I've seen a third program used on some of the overclocking sites Superpi. I believe, lol, been meaning to bookmark and try it myself. I imagine it's used to quickly detect memory errors as well as being a benchmark without stressing components.
This board isn't made for overclocking kind of useless without a working agp/pci lock. Sata corruption over 220 fsb so I've been content with using the first 2 programs to tweak my memory settings and test for stability.
Yeah I noticed that too when I set the DDR to 400 the bios will override the Cas being set to 2 and run it at 2.5 My board doesn't freeze when saving it though. I leave it set at 2.5 in the bios and use A64Tweaker to manually set the Cas to 2 in windows it works fine that way and is easily verified with cpuz or everest. Personally I don't trust using spd in the bios and prefer to manually set all the timing to the manufacturers recommended settings. *edit* I also forgot to mention to when you check your ram manufacturer's website to see if the sticks of ram are capably of Command Rate 1T(CR) some can't other can only if one stick is being used. You may need to set the Dram 1T timing to disable, sorry about that

S3 sleep state issue (MSI K8T Neo2 FIR)

Hi,
CPU load is too high (about 80-95%) all the time after the system waked up from S3 sleep state. This is dramatically decreasing system performance.
My configuration is:
MSI K8T Neo2 FIR mainboard
CPU Athlon64 3000+ (Venice rev. E6)
AGP GeForce 6600GT VGA card
Creative SB Live! series
WinXP SP2

Wild-Robot,
The following link was suggested to me, since I wondered if my problems might have needed a bios update. The board I have is a 754, thouugh, not a 959, so I would have been suspicious of using this update, anyway. Then Tiresmoke mentioned that the new update addresses a sleep state (S3) issue. Might that help your situation? I would n't know, but it may be worth a look:
MSI Germany published Version 9.3 for K8T Neo2-F(IR):
http://www.msi-computer.de/produkte/main_idx_view.php?Prod_id=402&Seite=BIOS
That Version cannot yet be found at MST TW or MSI USA.

Tiresmoke then mentions:
Well Babblefish translation tells me that this;
Behebt Probleme mit der CPU Auslastung nach dem aufwachen aus dem Standby Modus (S3)
is saying this;
Problems with the CPU extent of utilization repairs after that wakes up from the Standby mode (S3)
So nasically is has something to do with the S3 standby mode issues. As I do not use any standby mode I have not seen any issues. If you have had any then you may want to give it a try but they don't say they fixed anything else so if you are like me and not having any issues you may want to give this one a pass.
Hope that helps.

K8t neo2-FIR lock ups

hey i'm posting for my friend who recently got a new setup for his computer
antec 400W power supply
3200+
k8t neo2-FIR
sapphire radeon 9600XT
512 meg major brand ram
2 80 gig harddrives
onboard sound/lan
i'm not too sure of the psu specs
the computer (with latest driver updates) has a tendency of locking up where the screen will just go black at random periods
no matter the situation and we will have to restart it (we tried in optimizeed bios settings and default)
the computer when i was there ran fine in video games except for the locking up part
i'm not sure what the problem is nor does my friend any help is appreciated

Run Memtest86 and find out which RAM models he uses. Likely as not it is going to be part of the issue. See if you can read the lable on that PSU as well and find out how many amps are on the 12v rail.

Nvidia FX5900 Does it work with K8T Neo2-FIR??

I'm considering upgrading my old Ti 4400 to a new FX5900 card. Can anyone tell me if this card works properly in the K8T Neo2-FIR??

Quote
The 6600/6800/X800 series all have newer implimentations of the latest graphics programming and hardware. Buying an older card is OK if money is the only answer and you can even find the older cards cheap enough to matter. However by going with an older feneration card you are getting older generation utility as well. At some point that will come back to haunt you. Even if you don't play games or such that use the newer features now, it is pretty certain that any newer software you may want in the not to distance future will run better on the newer series card than something that is already outdated
ok, to bring the discussion to a funny point :D
1: you forgot the FX series was the last card using the best and unoptimised Anisotropic filtering
2: the shader3.0 model is nearly the same crap the shader2.0 was for the Fx series :D try playing the latest splinter cell with sm3.0 and soft shadows and tell me the fps you get
if you play games like ut2004, hl2 (with the FX shader fix to use the good looking water) then a FX 5900ultra works good enough
if you only need power without thinking about the image quality, which includes the very nice optimised ati-AF then get a Gf 6 series card.
at the beginning i wanted to update my card too coz of the shader model2.0 limitation, but now i wont. too often i compared the rendered quality and the FX always won, so i wait for a card that doesnt need to use "hardware" or "driver" "optimizations" :D - cheater

Since BIOS V3.3 Speedfan (V 4.20) is not able to reduce the rpm of the CPU-Fan (of course connected to CFAN1). Before flashing BIOS 3.2, it worked well (CPU < 40°C = Fan spins with 60%). After flashing BIOS 3.3 (because it resolves the problem with USB legacy and WindowsXP), Speedfan (and Corecenter) do not reduce die fan power. If i stay a while in the BIOS, i can hear, how the fan runs lower and lower. But under windows the fan runs on full power.
I have this problem too.
I don't have ability to change speed fan for CPU, and then I have 60 degrees on full load.
When I setup in CoreCenter utility to user mode and fan to high speed, as if by miracle on cpu fan speed change from 1600 to 2400,
but now it's on 1600 again and setup in core center dont't make any change on speed fan.
Is it OK in bios 3.2 ? with setup speed on cpu ?

MSI K8T Neo2-FIR w/ AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice)

I am looking at purchasing the MSI K8T Neo2-FIR with the AMD Athlon64 3000 (Venice). However, it appears that many have issues with this. I found a link to a MSI german forum that had a beta version of the newest bios but I have a few questions.
Would a german version work if i am living in canada (toronto)?
How can the bios be flashed if it doesnt recognize the cpu?
When will the new bios be released?

Quote from: Ui30 on 08-June-05, 16:36:37
The Venice core will be supported by the K8T neo2 shortly, I'm convinced about that, since Asus (I'm sorry to mention them) are supporting it already, with the same bios.
Even ECS published Venice-ready BIOS updates...

My advice: just wait a few weeks.

Problem with my older K8T Neo2-Fir or my bios?

Hi there Friends
Can someone help me with a problem i got. I have installed this video card:
Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 512MB DDR3 / AGP / 2xDVI / TV-OUT
On this older motherboard: K8T Neo2-Fir [Gbe Lan;IEEE1394, SATA RAID] Socket 939.
Do I need a Bios upgrade because this board seams only supporting max 256mb of video memory. Doesn`t this motherboard and bios version supporting 512 mb?
What should I doing to be able to change my settings in bios to the correct size for the memory. From 256 to 512 mb
This is my bios: Amibios Bios 9.10
Someone help me with this problem

Quote from: Mr Freddy on 03-November-07, 04:39:19
Thats correct, and i want to setting the right memory size in bios, but i cant doing that in my bios. The maximum value i can choice is 256mb. Do you understand wath i mean? Why cant i change this settings to more than 256mb? Is this because this bios are not supporting more than 256mb? (sorry for my bad english)
"Thats correct, and i want to setting the right memory size in bios, but i cant doing that in my bios."
That do NOT setup VGA memory size...
"The maximum value i can choice is 256mb. Do you understand wath i mean? Why cant i change this settings to more than 256mb?"
because there no need to be more than 256...
"Is this because this bios are not supporting more than 256mb?"
that setting doesn't affect VGA memory size...(you can't change VGA memory size, its fixed...) for your VGA with 512MB memory you should apply 64MB for AGP aperture size.

K8T Neo2 and Promise FastTrak 579

Hi,
I have K8T Neo2 and AMD Athlon 64 3200+, rest is not important.
By my procesor I must upgrade Bios to new version (3.2).
After reboot I see row with choice: DEL - to Bios, F2 - load RAID bios, ......
I go to mainboard bios to load default. After reboot when is looking for HDD its shown, than on SATA 237 isn't HDD (it is true)
on FAstTrak 579 is not bios!
How I can install bios for FastTrak 579 controller?
sorry for easy question, but I can't information about it.
Thank for answer.
Petr

Hi,
thanks.
One idea goes by my head:
Why when I firstly turn on (when I completed PC or after I upgrade motherboard bios) it show to me row: Press DEL to bios
F2 to load bios (I mean than it is for Promise 579)
F11 to ....
and when I press F2 something runs and pass
and after this how I restart PC after POST after detection HDD on Promise 579 it write only than HDD is not connected.
Message BIOS NOT INSTALLED was not shown.
When I upgrade bios I push DEL and I go to motherboard's setup and firstly I not push F2. By this I mean, than bios Promise 579 is not.
When I push TAB when Power On I can go to BIOS VT8237
When I push CTRL+F (it's go to bios Promise 579) - nothing reaction

Will K8T Neo2-FIR go AMD64 X2 when the time comes?

Since the new X2 is pin 939 compatible can we expect the current K8T Neo2 series to support the X2? June is right around the corner!

OK I was getting weirded out as you even mention the 890 set. I have been hoping that MSI would build one and actually hoped you knew something I didn't. I don't care much about Dual Core at this stage as I don't want to be someone's beta tester on that one at that price.
Yes from what it looks though the Neo2 should be compatible but the jury would know the verdict until it is tested and we know that it does or does not work or maybe even need a Bios update or some such. There is a lot no one knows yet except for maybe the folks at MSI themselves.

Hola, (Hi)
la semana pasada tuve el mismo problema con una board similar. Intenté con varias marcas genéricas de memoria y no activaba el dual channel. Actualicé la bios a la versión 9.2 de acuerdo con una recomendación que encontré en este foro: 1º. Coloca una sola memoria en el slot1 y actualiza la Bios a la v. 9.2. Una vez se actualice la Bios apaga el PC y... 2º coloca los dos módulos de memoria, el primero en el slot 2 y el otro en el slot 4 y ya verás que funciona. (Last week i've had same issue with that board. Update the Bios to 9.2 version according to this forum: 1st. populate first slot with one memory stick and run the Bios update. Tunr off your PC and... 2nd populate slot 2 and 4 and you are ready.)
El único problema que he encontrado con esta BIOS es que la tarjeta de video Gcube 9600XT presenta algunos saltos en los juegos. (The only issue about that bios version it's the GeCube Radeon 9600XT that JUMPING in all games.)
BYE!
