K9N NEo-F V3 Memory voltages

Hey all, just have a really quick question...
Looking at buying this board soon, but I'm not seeing where you can increase DIMM voltage at all. The memory I'm wanting to get runs at 1.9, but eveyrthing I've read shows that this board runs at 1.8. Is there a way I'm just not seeing to increase VDIMM to 1.9 so my RAM will work at stated speeds?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the input folks. I haven't dealt with an AMI bios in a longwhile and wasn't sure what kind of options it would have.
I noticed in the manual a memory voltage adjustment, but wasn't sure what kind of range it gave as the manual didn't say.
But it looks like I'll probably be getting this board pretty soon as long as some outrageous deal doesn't come along.
Thanks again!

MSI K9N Neo (AM2) memory troubles

Hi guys, I just got a new system which is having some issues, and I'd appreciate any suggestions on what could be wrong.
At first, the system simply crashed during OS boot. A quick test with memtest86 showed 50-60 thousand errors on a single run, so I asked at Corsairs site, got the recommendation to up the voltage to 2.1V. The memory got a whole lot more stable, but still showed a few dozen errors per run.
So, I proceeded to test the modules one by one, and found them operating well as long as only a single module was inserted (no errors on a 12+ hours run). I moved them around, tried different dimm slots, but as soon as both modules were in, there were errors ranging from a few to several dozen per memtest pass.
The system specs are:
MSI K9N Neo (nforce 550 based)
AMD Athlon64 3500+
Corsair Value Select 2048MB PC5300 kit (2 1GB dimms, 667 MHz)
Geforce 6600 video card.
BIOS settings are defaults (memory timing set from SPD) with memory voltage increased to 2.1 volt as per Corsairs suggestion.
Any suggestions? Is the MB shot, should I get it exchanged, or could there be some other problem?

Hi Raider,
I would not run in dual channel mode until you get at least one stick to run w/o errors in Memtest86. I had a similar problem with different memory but the same MSI K9N MoBo. Sometimes it passed and sometimes it did not. My two problems were (1) power supply, only 350W, so I jumped up to a 500W, and (2) memory timings. The MSI site said the MoBo has trouble with SPD timings. So try moving the mem speed down a whole bunch, like 166Mhz or 133Mhz clocking first. If it passes all mem tests, then move the clock back up and try to look up the memory timings for your memory and type them in manually in your BIOS. For me, I went from 2.5-3-3-8 2T to 3.0 5-5-8 2T and it ran forever. From Windows I used CPU-z to see the memory SPD and timings and set it to the lower settings from CPU-z to make it work the first time. This week I am taking back the memory to the store because it won't run at spec.
Good Luck

K9n neo 1.0 problems with compatibility of memory?

i have a k9n neo 1.0 with bios version 1.3 and linux ubuntu Linux ubux2 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Tue Feb 12 05:41:34 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
cpu AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+
2 gb of ram KVR667D2N5K2/2G 2GB 667MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 DIMM (Kit of 2) (installed in dimm1 and dimm2
hard disk sata western digital WDC WD3200JS-00P
ide DVD reader HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4522B
video pcie G70 [GeForce 7300 GT]
with that configuration works smooth (the only detail with that configuration is a message in the startup from bios about the cpuid )
My problem began when i try to add 2gb to the motherboard, i search a list of compatible memory and... i choose 2 of KVR667D2N5/1G 1GB 667MHz DDR2 Non-ECC CL5 DIMM, and i try of put them in dimm2 and dimm3, results? some times can't boot my hard disk give errors, some times i can startup but when i start to launch programs i get disk errors, and just stop of respond, i need reboot.
1. i run memtest86 and don't report any error.
2. i take off the 2 gb KVR667D2N5/1G and all is fine again.
3. i put the original 2gb KVR667D2N5K2/2G but now in dimms3 and dimm4, and... seem works fine for a minutes, but same problem in some moment sda stop to respond and reboot again.
4. i remove the original memory and put 2gb KVR667D2N5/1G in dimm1 and dimm2, same results
5. i back to the original configuration, just 2gb KVR667D2N5K2/2G in dimm1 and dimm2 and i working without problems.
* note in every step i reset to the optimal values.
first i was thinking that my motherboard have sockets dimm3 and dimm4 damaged, but after of all that i don't know
any suggestion?
Thank's in advance

i am not an expert on your motherboard but to be honest first you must download the manual for your motherboard and go through it thoroughly and then look at the memory selection and type and make sure you have the right one in the right slot. you can also go to crucial memory and test your current memory with their software. although in the bios section i wonder if you have got your setting correct. if not sure just try enable those which are currently disabled and see the difference.sometimes you just have to try and error method as the manual is very basic and gives very little information. good luck

K9N Neo-F, just over a week old and now won't boot.

Having trouble with a new build using a MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard. I suspect my Motherboard is faulty :( and plan on sending it back to Newegg for replacement unless someone has something else for me to try. Here’s the original configuration:
MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard (MS-7260 Ver 1.0 w/ 1.3 BIOS)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (65W – 2.4 GHz Windsor ADO4600CUBOX)
Gskill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK (DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 @ 1.9~2.0V)
Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH (GeForce 7600 GT) video card
Rosewill AP-500X (3.3V 30A, 5V 45A, 12V 22A)
NEC ND-3520A CD/DVD Burner
Seagate ST3320620AS SATA2 hard drive
For the first few days, everything appeared to work ok (though I had to leave the SATA 150 compatibility jumper on the hard drive in order for the motherboard to recognize it ). After day 3, it started locking up randomly (no blue screen) and restarting automatically, both while under high load and virtually no load at all. Past day 5, it’s now to the point where it locks up even in the BIOS, and that’s only when I can get it to POST (otherwise, all I get is fan spinning and a blank screen, not even a beep).
The first thing I tried after day 5 was replacing the PSU with a Silverstone SST-ST56F 560 W PSU I have on hand for another build (this PSU is extremely well made and heavy by the way :smiley: ). I figured this 560W monster could easily power the setup above, however the setup remained as unstable as ever. I did notice in the BIOS while looking at the voltages before it locked up that the Vcore is jumping all over the place, from 1.240V to 1.372V! I’ve built a fair share of A64 setups and never seen anything like this before. It seems to point to a failure of a power regulator on the motherboard, just hope it didn’t damage my CPU as a result.
Next suspect was the memory, which I memtested overnight on another AM2 board and passed with no errors. However, I read on a few other forums that the nVidia 550MCP chipset on the board doesn’t like RAM with a Tras under 15, so I swapped the RAM for another set of Gskill I had on hand (F2-6400CL5D-1GBNQ, DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 @ 1.8~1.9V) and reset the CMOS. Unfortunately still no luck, it won’t POST half the time and when it does, it locks up less than a minute later while still in the BIOS.
My last shot was removing the 7600GT video card and replacing it with an old Matrox Milenium PCI one I had laying around. My theory was not only to eliminate the video card from the list of suspects, but also the high power draw on the board that PCIe video cards tend to have. However, it still fails to POST half the time. Does anyone have any suggestions of things for me to try before sending back? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for quick replies guys!
Bosskiller - Yes, I tested both memory kits on another AM2 motherboard (Asus M2N) for ~24 hours each and both passed with no errors. I tried setting the Vdim to 2.1 volts in the BIOS (while I was still able to get it to POST fully), but no luck. However, since it's gotten very unstable and I reset the CMOS, the Vdim is probably back at the default 1.8 volts. If I could just get it stable enough to make changes in the BIOS without it locking up, at least that would be an improvement.
BAS - As mentioned, I tried using a Silverstone 560W PSU I had on hand with no luck either, that's when I noticed the big fluctuations in Vcore. Speaking of which, are such fluctuation in the Vcore normal? I've read several contradictor forum post on the topic and don't know if this is "normal" behavior for the k9n neo-f.
Thanks again in advance.

K9N NEO-BIOS ver 1.3: Cool 'n Quiet option missing

Hey guys,
I recently flashed my BIOS (AMI) to 1.3 for the K9N NEO motherboard and noticed that the Cool 'n Quiet option in the H/W menu group is missing. I don't know if it was already missing prior to flashing the BIOS, but I am assuming that it was removed since it was already enabled by default. Is this correct?
I observed the behavior of the machine using CPU-Z after setting the Power Scheme to Minimal Power Management in Windows, but did not notice any drop in voltage nor CPU speed.
Any thoughts on this? Did they really remove the option from version 1.3 of the BIOS? How long must the machine remain idle while in Windows for the Cool 'n Quiet feature to kick in?
Thanks in advance for your response! Here are the specifications of my machine:
Processor: Sempron 3000+ 1.6GHz
Motherboard: K9N Neo
Memory: 1-Generic 512MB DDR2 PC533
O/S: Windows XP Professional SP2
Thanks again!

There is no CnQ support for that model Am2 Sempron 3000+
http://www.hkepc.com/hwdb/am2sempron-1.htm
(so it's just logical the BIOS detects it and hides the CnQ option)
Reason : It runs at just 1.6ghz and as semprons also has the low amount of cache so it already
runs with very little wattage/heat.No sense in having CnQ on it.

No video on new build K9N NEO V3

Hello all,
New build turns on, no beeps and of course no video. Stays running when is turned on just no video. All fans working (CPU, case, power, and video fans). Have tried detaching the mother board and tested with two video cards (one video card per test) and one stick of memory. Used a CRT monitor and a LCD monitor.
Here are the numbers:
msi k9n neo v3
amd athlon 64 x2 5000+ black edition
chaintech geforce 7300gt (tried other pci video card, pulled from working system)
crucial 2-1GB 6400
power supply:
dc output: 3.3v / 5v 12v--12v 5v / -12v / 5vsb
max output current: 12a / 46a 26a--26a .5a / .8a / 3.0a
32a
max combined: 230w 384w 25w
Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks for any help.

Don't know if it is that, but BIOS supports the 5000 BE from v. 2.3. Perhaps you can get help in making sure what BIOS version you got.
It does sound like Bas says processor related. Cause all required power cables are in place, right?
Why the rush in RMA-ing? You must be pretty good at computers to be able to say definitely when it is RMA time, and what to RMA... Or think you are pretty good.
I do computer support for a living but I will be the first to tell you that I don't know everything. I just don't know what else it could be and I guess I'm anxious to get my new rig up and running!! BF2 awaits me . . . It's comforting to hear someone with the same issue so that I don't feel like I'm going crazy here.

Black screen after BIOS update on K9N Neo V2, help pls?

Hi guys!
I have K9N Neo V2 motherboard and Athlon X2 5400, I've decided to upgrade and bought Phenom x4 9750.
So I've updated the bios to 3.0O from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124305.0 using the instruction, it went fine, I've been using it for a week but found out some bugs (windows blue screen and applications and OS hangups), then I got to restore OS from acronis true image - failed. And then I decided to check if the new bios supports my old athlon or not, I've changed the CPU and started - failed, dark screen no bios, I plugged back Phenom and now it also is not working :((. Have no idea why and what to do now..
Would really appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thank you in advance

K9N NEO V3 POST Beep Issue

Hello, and thanks in advance for taking the time to give this a look. (TL;DR below)
As stated in the topic title, I’ve been having issues with my PC involving POST beep codes.
Couple days ago, PC stopped displaying on monitor. A few on/off’s later, I realized the PC was beeping oddly. I looked up POST codes online, but I’m not entirely sure which set to use. I have no display to check for my motherboard BIOS and version, so I am at the moment using what is written on the actual mobo; AMI BIOS. I can hear a single beep, followed by about 8 shorter beeps. There is a noticeable difference between the first and the rest. I have already run the computer without the optical drive, harddrive, and graphics card and still found the same problem. With just the mobo and CPU, I hear nothing, but that’s because I assume my mobo will not POST without RAM, so I tried a single stick new replacement to test with and I am still getting the same POST beeps as before. I have also tried reseating my graphics card and the small round cell found on my mobo. Is there anything that I’ve missed? Or is there something else at the root of the problem.
TL;DR: My computer will not display on a monitor, and I am getting the beeps associated with POST problems. Have tried running without essential hardware and separate memory stick to no success. Unsure of how to proceed.
Here are my current specs:
MSI K9N NEO V3 / MS-7369
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor @ 2.6 GHz
OCZ Gold XTC Dual Channel PC26400 DDR2 800MHz 1GB x2 (5-5-5-12)
XFX 8600 GT XXX Edition 256 MB DDR3 PCI-E
WD Caviar Blue 160GB 7200RPM 8MB SATA (WD1600AAJS)
Apevia X-Infinity Case with Turbolink PSU (420W)
Windows XP (32bit) SP3
I’ve narrowed down my problem to either the mobo or the cpu, but that’s about it.
I appreciate your help, and if there’s something that needs to be clarified, just let me know.
I apologize if this is in the wrong section or if there’s a format problem with my post.

I figure this is the best place to ask, since its related to my issues and doesn't need another topic.
I'm looking at this Corsair 750W PSU, but the only thing I'm wondering about is lack of a P4 MB connector. I'm not entirely sure what it's used for? I'm pretty green when it comes to installing and hooking up PSUs, so I've been comparing the connectors just to make sure I don't buy a product that won't hook up to my system. Also, is there a default size? Like motherboards come with the ATX or micro-ATX form. I'd hate to buy it and find out that it won't fit in my case
First choice
Second choice
Third choice
I noticed a lot of the PSU have multiple 18A / 12 V rails as opposed to a single 12V rail with higher amps. Are those maximum values? Or will it increase as you decrease the number of 12V rails being used. Sorry for the questions, but I figure I might as well ask now while I can

MSI K9N neo - black screen

Hi everyone
I have a computer with a MSI K9N neo (v.1.0) motherboard. About a 1,5 years old. Until last week it was working fine, but after a hard disk crash (and replacement), i can't get it to boot properly. When i start it up, I can hear the fans and drive spinning, and i get a POST 'beep' (the usual short beep), but only a blank screen - monitor says No signal detected. I've replaced the graphics card with a brand new one, and it didn't help.
Can anyone help me?
Computer specs:
Motherboard: MSI K9N Neo
Graphics card: Gainward Bliss 7200GS PCX(new) - XFX GeForce 6200 TurboCache(old)
RAM: 2x Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 512MB
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8GHz Socket AM2

Check monitor input selection 1|2
Check monitor cable and DVI->VGA converter if you use. Make sure that is filled well.
Try with different monitor
Thanks for the reply!
I've tried two monitors, two graphics cards and two PSU's - same result.
If I remove the graphics card and RAM and power up the computer, it does not beep at all, but when one of the memory modules (and/or the graphics card) are installed it beeps twice rapidly.. but the screen is blank no matter what I do..

K9N Neo V3 wont boot at all and has constant green light

Hi guys, as you can see I'm new to the forum and new to PC building this is my second rig and not my favorite for some reason this motherboard just wont boot. when i push the start button the heatsink fan spins and the power led stays green but other than that there's no other activity
heres my specs

note these parts are mostly testing items to test the board before i buy more expensive parts any help would be great

Quote from: Fredrik on 24-October-08, 05:20:56
You will barely, barely get by with a very good 300W PSU, but that needs to be very good. Any hardware changes or addings will render your system unusable. I would recommend you a Zalman unit of about 400 - 500 watts. ~80 - 100 $. So you can "develop" the system.
But your system seems to pass POST. Can you disconnect the hard disk, possible opticals (CD/DVD) and if you have any USB things, and try again, please. Make sure you got the required power cables connected!
Nanya memory is new to me. It wouldn't be a Dell special (memory)?
thanks for the reply im currently using a dell system but my new builds motherboard just wont boot at all thats the main problem the psus seem to boot other systems so im unsure to whether the board is healthy or not since i cant connect the cases original audio plug to this mobo :( its unable to give me beep commands and the green light as ive read else where often means something bad but the condition dosent seem to change even when i change out parts
and the psu is a 12v

if I use slot 1 is Kingston and slot 2 is Kingmax: is OK , But I use slot 1 Kingmax and slot 2 Kingston : black screen.
I dont know thats why?
you should use matched memory sticks only [as Bernhard already told you]
if you a different one there is no any grantees that they works together
the only think you can try is to place the slowest memory stick in the 1st DIMM and other at other DIMM
