K9n platinum ?

hey can any1 put me out of my misery
i just bought the msi k9n platinum board,and the
ATHLON 64 X2 6000+ 3.0GHZ PIB SOCKET AM2
2MB CACHE FSB1000 NS
and then i also got the
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2GB Kit DDR2-800 XMS2-6400
now my concerns is that when i read about the board it says that the ram is 1.8v and the ram i got is 2.1v,will that be a prob?
and when i looked on the website it didnt say that the board supported the 6000+ cpu,will it work on this board or do i hav to get a new 1?

thnx,well i got the ram and i got me cpu,im just waiting 4 the mobo now and then il c if it works,il post the result

K9N Platinum and OCZ2P8001GK

Hi. I bought 2 OCZ PC2-6400 512MB DIMM (OCZ2P8001GK) and I am thinking of buying the MSI K9N Platinum (non-SLI) board to run with AMD Athlon X2 3800+. Will it be any compatibility problems running the system with those memory modules? [Running at stock speed (at least), both CPU and RAM (800)].
thnx for any info.

i plugged all the above together, inserted only one ram module in dimm no2 socket and the system boot just fine...the cpu clock on memtest86+ v1.65 says athlon x2 1005mhz, is that correct?i will let memtest run for half an hour and then plug in the second ram module. the m/b has bios version 1.0 (!!) but the memory is normally recognized at 800 mhz as it should be.more soon...

K9N Platinum Beta Bios?

Can anyone tell me or show me if there is a new beta bios out for the K9N Platinum?
Right now I'm using beta 1.45 and it works great! Except...I just want something that will fix the stupid cpu temp reading!!!
Lemme know if you find anything.
thanks!

What cpus does this bios support? Just curious if it will do a phenom 9750.
Please start your own new topic instead of bringing up one that's been dead for 5 years.

Edit: No the K9N Platinum does not support AM2+ CPUs of any kind with any BIOS.

K9N Platinum: upgrade to X2 5600+ or X2 6400+?

Hi. This is my first post. I would like to upgrade my CPU on my K9N Platinum and I have a couple of questions:
1. I have narrowed down to two: X2 5600+ (89w) or X2 6400+ (125w)?
- both have the same L2 cache, but the speed and wattage differ
- I play some games and some video encoding
2. Will the power supply that I have be sufficient for the X2 6400+ and support a video card upgrade to a GeForce 8800 series?
Many thanks in advance.

but doesn't overclocking too much or running certain clock speed for too long, will shorter the cpu's life span?
I have a XP1700+ In a MSI K7N2 Delta L, which is default 1.47 and I have had it at 2.0 for nearly four years, aftermarket Copper Core air cooler. The 5000+ Blackie's that I have are at a 16 Multiplier for 3.2 speed. I have one in a abit KN9 SLI and the other in my MSI K9A2 CF both run cool. I am not overclocking my 6400+ Blackie right now, but I would expect it to have a good bit less Overclocking potential. It runs super at default though.
I had a Overclocked ATI 9500 Pro and it died after two and a half years, but I really had it cranked, so yes and no to your question. Good cooling alleviates most of the possible damage. If you are Cool then you are usually okay.

K9N Platinum onboard ethernet resource problem

I am having a problem getting my onboard ethernet to work on the MSI K9N Platinum motherboard.
The device manager is giving me Error Code 12 which stands for Not enough available resources.
I have tried everything short of reinstalling Windows to get this resolved. This is a fresh windows install. Right after the install I installed the chipset drivers. Since then I have reinstalled the drivers, disabled anything that I am not using in the device manager, and even disabled everything but the onboard lan and IDE controller in the bios. Nothing has worked.
Does anybody know what I could do to get the onboard ethernet to work?

Did you use the "Load Optimized Defaults" in cmos settings before win-install.
Sounds to me windows didn't install the correct HAL ,meaning you may have had wrong bios settings for ACPI & MPS.
This worked. I just did a repair install of windows after loading optimized defaults in bios. Thanks for the help.

K9N Platinum Sli trouble

so i have assembled my new system:

ever since ive assembled the system i ran into some strange thing - during the changing of setting in the BIOS it froze a few times.
Neverthless i was able to run the system, install windows, start to install other software (yesterday)
and today when i turned on the system, windows booted up, and sudenly it restarts and freezes up in pre bios stage...
Reset or Shutdown resulted in power up, but nothing happening, the monitor did even got out of standby...
after a few tries, and about ten minutes without power, it started up and went to a bios stage, giving a CMOS Bad Checksum Error... loaded bios with fail-safe settings, system worked fine and booted up windows... windows worked fine aswell, attempt to reboot and change the bios settings, gave a Bad Checksum from start and a freeze in bios. System is not getting to bios stage once again...
A Mobo problem that warrants a vist to the store, to return it?

oh and the PSU got two +12v rails with 20a on each, should be enough?... (though Enermax seems to have troubles with math since according to them 20a+20a=30a)
trust me, enermax doesn't have problems with math. this is actually how it works. you cannot just add up the 12v rails to get the max amps on the 12v.
Quote from: mr.flint on 26-August-06, 00:33:23
managed to boot with the suspected mem stick - running memtest-86 - counted 746321 errors and then froze.... looks like the stick IS defective
try to increase the memory voltage a bit. i think you should be safe up to 2.1V. if you still get errors in memtest, then you have a faulty memory module.

K9N Platinum: CPU upgrade = Random shutdowns..

I just installed a new AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ EE in my MSI K9N Platinum motherboard (MS-7250 v1.0, the 070 model according to the box). I had updated the BIOS to version 1.7 before installing the CPU. Anyhow, I got the CPU installed and it seemed to be running fine. Until I started playing my games. Upon playing fifteen (!!!) minutes of Day of Defeat, the system completely turned off. COMPLETELY. No error messages. I check core temp's log to make sure the CPU wasnt overheating; it wasnt. The max temp was 38C on one of the cores. Just to make sure the CPU wasnt the problem, I ran two instances of prime95 for 5 hours and there were no calculation errors whatsoever. I also ran 3-4 loops of SuperPi, using the 32M test. No errors.
I have come to the conclusion that it must be the motherboard, and possibly it does not like the CPU. Or else it is having the same random shutdown problems as many other K9N Platinum/Ultra boards are experiencing. From what i have read, this issue only relates to boards that are 040, 050, or 060 models. I have a 070 model, and I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM!!
Help!!!

Any ideas?

well, i know that ACPI has to do with power saving features.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACPI
and HPET also has something to do with CPUs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HPET
and MCP55 is the nortbridge.
so i suppose i can conclude that it protects from overvoltage or promotes more power-saving? i dunno i really dont care as long as my PC works now,

K9N Platinum bios version & cpu support

Hi!
I need some help to clear up some questions regarding my MB.
MB: K9N Platinum, Cpu-z states my bios version is 080014, but i cant see it in the bios list for my MB, so what version is it?
Im currently running with a Athlon X2 5200+ Windsor, and i have got my hands on an Athlon X2 6400+ Black Edition, as far as i can see my MB is supporting that cpu, but is my current bios up to date for the cpu?
I have downloaded the MSI usb bios flashtool and i have set it up, and it boots in dos, but when i run memtest the program just says in one line memtest and a flashing + nothing more happens (i have left the pc for about 3-4min but no change) i feel that im starting to push my luck, and i dont want to kill this MB since its my work and gaming rig.
System spec:
MB: K9N Platinum
CPU: Athlon 64 X2 5200+ (want to install Athlon 64 x2 6400+ BE ID: ADX6400IAA6CZ)
RAM: 6Gb DDR2, 2x1Gb, 2x2Gb
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX260 Super OC Edition

I need atleast Bios 1.8 to get my MB to work with the new cpu.
So now i just have to figure out why mem test wont run.

Memtest do have some bugs. You can do test with Orthos instead:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103598.msg760534#msg760534
To check is your system is stable or not.
Once done you can ignore Memtest when asking after booting from the USB key
Also leave 1 memory stick only temporary in the 1st DIMM close to CPU socket before BIOS flash.[put remaining sticks back when BIOS flash is done/finished].

K9N PLATINUM(NON SLI) DUAL CHANNEL MODE PROBLEM

hi
put a new system together with the following specs:
amd am2 3800+(2ghz)
k9n platinum 1.20 bios
2x512 kingston ddr2(667mhz)
pci video(yes not pci-e)have not decided which vid card to get yet.
500w psu 12v 35a,5v 25a,3.3v 25a
liteon dvd burner
seagate 300gb ide 7200/16 meg cache windows xp-pro sp2 with all updates.
not overclocking or even trying to.
no sata drives connected.
has never failed to post,boot windows and no lockups or blue screens.
ok,i am trying to get the memory to work in dual mode.
everytime i put the memory in the dual mode slots,the cpu clocks down to 1ghz instead of 2ghz.
verified by bios,windows and cpu-id
i have tried different memory(both ddr2 533 and 667)667 installed now.
also never had any install problems with windows and everything runs fine until i tried dual mode.
after the cpu clocks down to 1ghz,the only way to get it back to normal is a bios reset( load defaults
or press red button).
if i leave the memory as single channel then i have no issues.
also cpu-id says the chipset for my board is nforce 550,i thought k9n platinum had 570 nforce chipset?
this might just be a problem with cpu-id though.
any thoughts on the cpu down clock problem in dual channel mode?
thanks,jeff

1 assume you can get into BIOS with 1 stick only?
Go into the BIOS and manually set the timings and voltage to what your memory manufacturer recommends. Use a 2T command rate and see if it works.
Try both "sets" of dual channel slots, i.e. the two left slots or the two right slots.

K9N Platinum Supported CPU's

Hi everyone,
My question is fairly straightforward. I currently have a MSI K9N Platinum AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Ultra MCP in my HTPC. Long story short I found out that my CPU was not powerful enough to decode 1080p content so I have purchased a new CPU, a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103228
According to the CPU support list here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=252&maincat_no=1
I should be able to use this processor with my motherboard with BIOS 1.A, so I downloaded Live Update and flashed the BIOS to 1.A (I believe it now shows it as 1.10, though I am not sure where that is noted in POST) in preparation for the new CPU (the flash went fine).
I am wondering if anyone has any experience using this motherboard with this CPU? Is it truly compatible or the CPU simply too new an edition for my motherboard? I can probably still cancel my order and get a 5600+ or equivalent if necessary.
I appreciate any feedback/responses.

I bet it's your videocard not handling it very well.
Somewhere rings a bell that nVidia is lacking hardware decoding with videocards, but can't remember exactly what it was.
Well that is the long story short part :D. In a nutshell yes it is my video card, I have a 7900GT and essentially nvidia's purevideo decoder for HD content has NEVER worked properly. This basically means that the CPU has to handle the entire decoding load, which my old CPU is incapable of doing (hence all the stuttering, audio/video out of sync issues I get). Basically I had two options:
A) Buy an ATI, one of the 3xxx series that actually does x264 decoding
B) Replace the CPU with a faster/better/dual core one (many codecs can now use dual-core CPU's for decoding HD content)
In the end I made the decision to replace the CPU to resolve the problem because while buying a 3xxx series card does appear to work WONDERS for HD content decodes (it reduces the CPU load to 5-10% in some cases) if the file is encoded in some non-standard way that the GPU decoder doesn't recognize the load is going straight back to the CPU (like my Nvidia 7900GT is doing). This way I figure I get a better CPU and it should be able to muscle it's way through decoding anything I throw at it. If I need to replace the GPU someday or want to do it in order to reduce the load on the CPU I can always look into one of the 3xxx series (I hear that the nvidia 8600's might actually do some HD decoding as well) though I have really become skeptical of ATI cards lately.

K9N PLATINUM RAM Issue

Hello there,
I have the following:
* AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
* K9N Platinum
* Kingston 1GB DDR2-800 Ram Dimm (PC2 6400, KVR800D2N5/1G) X4

DC Output +3,3V 24 A
DC Output +5V 24 A
DC Output +12V1 18 A
DC Output +12V2 18 A
Issue:
Installed 4GB of RAM and on boot-RAMcheck shows 4BG RAM OK.
Windows sees and reports this: Physical Memory, Total: 3070MB
I removed one by one the sticks and also swapped slots but the result is always the same.
Any ideas?

You are using a 32bit version of Windows. A 32bit operating system provides an address decode space of 4GB. Not all of the address space can be used for the system memory. Part of it needs to be reserved for addressing other devices (so that they can function). That is why it is actually impossible to full address 4GB of RAM with a 32bit OS. The amount of usable memory may very between 2.5 and 3.5 GB, depending on the system configuration.
Solution: Use a 64bit operating system.

K9n Platinum Won't Post!!! Memory Incompatible or Mobo failure???

Like so many others, I am having trouble with my K9N PLatinum. When I turn the system on, everything powers on, CPU fan, case fans, leds. It begins to post, no video, but the D bracket just hangs on (1, 3, 4, red and 2, green). I have tried all of the usual troubleshooting. Using just one stick of memory in each DIMM slot, reseating CPU, only having CPU/memory/video card plugged in. I even went and bought some cheap RAM from a local retailer and the same thing, D bracket just hangs. Taking out battery, resetting CMOS switch, etc. This build has been very frustrating. I have read there are BIOS updates, but have never updated bios before. How would I do an update when the system won't even post? PLEASE HELP!!!

I got it to post and install windows on the Kingston valueram. I did a live update via MSI's website to BIOS version 1.2. But version 1.2 would still not post using my OCZ memory. I wanted to try to flash the beta 1.31 bios, ut I am having difficulty flashing the beta 1.31 bios version ins DOS mode. Has anyone else done this? Also, when is MSI going to put the newest bios version up for Live Update. That would make a lot of unsatisfied customers, happy. I was about ready to return my board and go ASUS. But I wanted to stick it out with MSI because I like you guys the best! Any info on flashing bios would be great! AMD

K9N Platinum and Corsair CM2X1024-6400 **UPDATE - FIXED**

I'm trying to help a friend with their new K9N Platinum motherboard. We got everything installed successfully, but after getting into Windows, the machine will just freeze up randomly doing anything, software install, whatever, within a minute, or sometimes as long as 5 or more minutes.
Basic specs:
K9N Platinum motherboard
Flashed to BIOS version 1.4
AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ (65W) socket AM2
BFG Geforce 7900GS
500W PCI-E power supply
Wester Digital 120GB 7200rpm SATA HD 8MB cache
Single 1GB stick of Corsair CM2X1024-6400 RAM (DDR2 800MHz) - Brand New - DIMM slot 1
Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all windows updates installed. (using IE6)
Installed all latest drivers from MSI's website for this board.
We tried 1st with DRAM timings on auto, then tried to set the timing manually according to Corsair's spec sheet for this module, including memory voltage at 1.9V.
We think it might be a bad memory module, because after getting into Windows, we run memtest, and errors are detected within the 1st minute. We have RMA'd the RAM module. I'm wondering though if we just didn't have the timing for the memory set correctly in the BIOS.
Is anyone here runnning this exact memory successfully, or is this board incompatible with this Corsair module? If you are running successfully, did you have to change the SPD timings manually, or are you running using the SPD Auto setting?
If you had to use manual setting, any help with the values to set in DRAM Timing would be greatly appreciated. As much detail as you can provide would be great. Thanks for your help.

Ok, still having major problem with running world of warcraft. This PC freezes/locks up in the game every single time within 5-10 minutes of play no matter what we've tried so far. This is not a shutdown or restart problem, just a freeze/lock-up symptom. I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point. No other problems in windows are encountered. We can work in windows with any other application, like adobe photoshop or any other software, with zero trouble. I'm beginning to think this is video card related somehow with this 7900 GS card.
For added info, the video card being used is this;
BFG Tech BFGR79256GSOCE GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
GPU GeForce 7900GS
Core clock 525MHz(vs. 450MHz standard)
PixelPipelines 20
Memory Clock 1320MHz
Memory Size 256MB
Memory Interface 256-bit
Memory Type GDDR3
3D API
DirectX DirectX 9
OpenGL OpenGL 2.0
Ports - DVI 2
The mouse used is a logitech USB track ball mouse if that has any bearing on anything. No mouse troubles though, just thought I'd mention it.
Here's what we've tried so far;
Updated to BIOS version 1.4. This was done after the Windows XP install though, so not sure if something is hosed up here.
1) We set the RAM timings to 5-5-5-12-2T and 2.1Volts in BIOS manually, as per direct recommendation from Corsair.
1a) Ran memtest all night for about 9 hours straight and no errors at all detected. So I'm guessing this isn't a RAM problem really, but who knows .
2) Installed the Windows XP SP2 Hotfix for Dual Core Processors - hotfix KB896256
3) Installed the AMD Dual Core Optimizer from here -->http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
4) Updated the Nvidia system drivers with the nForce 550/570/570/590 SLI (C51+MCP55) driver package 9.19 WHQL from MSI's website here--> http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=730&kind=1
5) Currently running Nvidia video driver version --> ForceWare Release 90 Version: 93.71 Release Date: November 2, 2006 WHQL Certified.
6) Ran a complete Direct X diagnostics via dxdiag. All tests passed successfully.
7) Tried to install the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16 from here -->http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
But it would NOT install because it says I have to first uninstall the current driver via add/remove programs, but it's not listed there, before installing this one. So, I have no idea where to look or how to do this, I'm afraid of messing up the processor driver. Can someone explain how to install this driver, and would not having this installed possibly be a potential cause of the game lock-ups?
I don't know what else to do. Could the version 9.19 Nvidia SATA or IDE drivers I installed be causing these game lock-up problems? If so, do I just go into device manager and just rollback drivers for all of the devices listed under the "IDE/ATA ATAPI Controllers" in device manager?
Again, this was a fresh windows XP Pro install on a newly formatted hard drive. Obviously something is fubar, but I'm running out of things to try. Maybe going into BIOS and "load optimized defaults" and start over?
Lastly, the tech specs on newegg.com for this video card say "A 350W PCI Express compliant system power supply (with 12V current rating of 22A or more)" is needed. Since the 500W power supply we're using has 2 separate 12V rails rated at 20A each, could this be the problem?? I'm open to suggestions. Thank you.

K9N Platinum Digital Coaxial Out

I am having an extreme amount of trouble with my K9N Platinum trying to get the SPDIF Digital Coaxial Out to work. In the Realtek HD Audio Manager the slider for SPDIF is not there; I'm not even able to adjust it. In the regular windows volume manager the slider is simply greyed out and immovable.
I have upgraded to what I believe are the latest Realtek HD drivers; directly from MSI's website as well as from the MSI Live Monitor.
I've poured over the options in the Realtek HD Audio Manager but I can't seem to find any way to fix this issue, as well as googled like crazy and searched this forum. I apologize if this is a duplicate topic; I did do a search and didn't find another one with a solution.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is it the realtek hd audio manager you are talking about?
If it is: When i boot my computer as usual and start realtek manager.. You usually see which outputs are in use in the top menu, I dont see the digital output (spdif optical) here, even when its connected. So i guess it cant be muted since the sound device is not recognized by my Operating System (Vista) and/or my motherboard (k9n nforce570 sli platinum)
When i plug a cable in the line-in output, the realtek manager responds and ads both the line-in button and the spidf (digital output) button in the top menu.
Yes, on my PC, with Windows XP (you're using Vista, things might be considerably different, I don't know), the Realtek HD Audio Manager under the Audio I/O tab has a setting for "DIGITAL": if you click on the little wrench icon next to it, you can select the Sampling Rate (from 44 to 192 kHz) and if you want to enable or not the SPDIF output. When enabled, the SPDIF port will output whatever sound you're playing, in its original format: if you play an MP3, it will be stereo, if you play a DVD with a Dolby AC3 5.1 audio stream (and you enable the SPDIF pass-through in your DVD software, like Nero Showtime), then it will be 5.1.
Based on my (little) experience, most games do NOT support a digital 5.1 output, so - even if you enable the "surround sound" in their settings - you will get only stereo sound from the SPDIF (you will get surround if you plug a 5.1 speaker system in the front/rear/center audio jacks on the MB). I read there are soundcards that can do digital 5.1 encoding on the fly, but that's a whole different story.
Hope this helps...

K9N Platinum - Doesn't boot with PWR2 connected

Hi,
I've just built a new PC with a K9N Platinum Motherboard (7250 Ver 1.0)
I immediately discovered a problem:
-If I connect to the power supply the PWR2 Molex (the additional power connector on the motherboard, to provide additional power to the video card) the system doesn't boot. Computer's LEDs get on for half a second, then it shuts down.
-If I deconnect the PWR2 connector, computer boots fine.
Bios already flashed to 1.51... no results.
It sounds weird to me. I have an Enermax Noisetaker II 485W PSU, the CPU is an Athlon X2 65W...
Have I got a damaged mainboard?
Thanks for support
