K9N2 Diamond motherboard versions

I have a question about the different versions of the K9N2 Diamond motherboard. There are two different versions that I am aware of, version 1.0 and version 1.1. Now this might of been asked in the forums already but, I could not find it. I personally own version 1.0 and have had no problems with the board what so ever. I was just wondering if anybody knew what the differences were (except the obvious, like enhancements, relayout of components, and updated features). Will version 1.1 have better power distribution so it will be able to support more processors in the future than version 1.0 ? If anybody knows please let me know thanks.

Where is 1.1?

K9N2 Diamond Not Recognizing SATA DVD Rom

I just though I would try to post here to see if anyone had any ideas as to what might be the cause or if I should just RMA the board and hope it gets resolved.
To sum it up I have a PC that doesn't always like to reboot (not a problem really as I don't like to reboot it except for when getting updates) and will not recognize the DVD drive plugged into the SATA ports. Originally I thought it may have just been a flaky optical drive as it worked long enough for me to get the OS installed and everything set up back in late June early July. However for some reason Windows XP Pro x64 and the BIOS stopped recognizing the optical drive. Since I thought it might have just been a flaky drive I didn't worry about it too much as I had everything set up - was just annoying that I couldn't watch DVDs (but I could just go to the other room to do that so not biggie). On Saturday I bought a new DVD drive (one that could play Blue Ray disks figuring since I have my monitor hooked up through an HDMI cable why not also have the capability to play Blue Ray disks) and the same problem exists. The BIOS will on a rare occasion actually recognize the DVD drive however as soon as it reboots again it will not and even when it did recognize the DVD drive by the time Windows loaded up it didn't pick up on it.
I have tried all four SATA ports in combination with my SATA hard drive (and alternating between six different SATA cables too) but a vast majority of the time if I have both the hard drive and DVD drive plugged in the PC will not boot up - it just seems to hang (and sometimes doesn't want to let me into the BIOS).

I haven't tested with a third DVD drive simply because I don't have a third :(
The original DVD drive (an OEM Sony Optiarc Beige 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD/CD Rewritable Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118033) was what was being used while I was installing everything and was the drive that I was noticing wasn't always showing up in Windows Explorer (well more often than not wasn't appearing, but it seemed to last long enough to get all the initial installations done and I really don't used the ROMs much past that). At the time I thought it might have been that the drive just went flaky and ignored it because I didn't use it.
The odd thing was it was also causing headaches when restarts were required for the same reason - the PC would freeze up on the motherboard splash screen (lack of a better term presently) where it normally does the POST tests (I think I am remembering that correctly .... when all the beeps takes place) so I unhooked the SATA connection to the motherboard for the drive and then the PC would actually reboot normally without the hanging. This made me also think it was the drive causing problems.
I've been running without any optical drive hooked up for a couple months now, but with getting my copy of Windows 7 I was getting ready to install that and picked up what I thought was the needed fix in a new DVD drive however when hooking it up the same problem started up again. This time when trying to figure out a setting that actually worked I rotated through all six of my SATA cables (motherboard came with extras ) and rotated them through all four normal SATA slots. Well actually I tied all six slots but it didn't seem like the BIOS wanted to pick up on slots five or six (the E-SATA if I recall correctly) as having devices (when I had the HDD and DVD Drive in slots five and six it said it couldn't find a bootable device).
I'm at work now so I can't double check in the BIOS but I am pretty sure it is just set for SATA since I don't use RAID or AHCI - I'll check again on this when I get home though.
The oddest thing about the whole thing (to me at least) is the lack of consistency with the BIOS recognizing the devices (well the DVD drive anyways). I would have thought that if it recognized the device (which it has from time to time) that it would keep on recognizing it, but it seems to want to forget that it did recognize it even after it did by the time Windows loads up.
It does not seem to have any problems when only the SATA HDD is hooked up though.
If it really is the MB being flaky I think I would only have four options:
1) Buy a SATA PCI controller card and see if I can get things up and running that way - though this wouldn't solve the problem if the motherboard is flaking out and not 100% sure what it would do for installing new OS quite yet .... not to mention be a little odd when there are 5 other open SATA ports on the motherboard)
2) RMA the motherboard and hope a replacement/fix can be made and be without a PC for the duration
3) Not upgrade to Windows 7 and sit on that upgrade till whenever and also have a new expensive paperweight (if I take the ROM out of the PC)
4) Get a new MB .... really don't want to pick this one since I built the thing tail end of June/beginning of July (just was slowly ordering the parts for longer than that .... I really need to stop doing that - kills possible return chances)
Of course I can also hope it is something else that I am just missing and that none of those are needed. I actually built my setup based on what a friend of mine has since his is/was pretty solid.

K9N2 Diamond problems installing Vista 64bit Raid Drivers

Hello everyone I have been having problems installing Raid Drivers during Vista 64 Install. The 32-bit drivers work fine and I can also set up Windows Vista 32 in Raid 0. But the same place where the " No CD/DVD drivers..." clause is will not let me use 64-bit Drivers. I have tried MCP72 and MCP73 raid drivers and neither is recognized. This is my setup.....

K9N2 Diamond + AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition: BIOS too old?

I just put my system together and can't get it to boot. I've found out that it could be a bios problem , is there any way to tell what bios version it is without getting to the boot screen. Also is there anyway to change the bios with no boot screen.

You have pretty much three options right now:
1) Install a processor officially supported by BIOS Version 2.3 to start the system and then update your BIOS.
2) Ask in a local computer shop or contact your reseller to do the same thing for you.
3) Alternatively, you can try this (at your own risk, of course, and there is no guarantee that it will work):
- Download the latest BIOS Archive: http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/7375v24.zip
- Unpack the BIOS File (A7375NMS.240) and rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM
- Copy the AMIBOOT.ROM file to an empty floppy disk
- hook up a floppy disk drive to your K9N2 Diamond and insert the floppy disk with AMIBOOT.ROM on it
- hook up a PS/2 Keyboard and disconnect all hard drives, optical drives and USB Devices (and use one memory stick only)
- Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
- Start-up the system and press CTRL + Home on your PS/2 Keyboard multiple times after start-up
- If you are lucky, the key command will trigger the AMI BIOS Recovery Routine which will attempt to read and program the AMIBOOT.ROM File on the floppy disk.
If option number 3) does not work for you, go back to 1) or 2).

K9N2 Diamond: Shared video memory, how to disable?

As on subject: I can see the entry in the bios settings and I can choose the memory amount to share, but I can't disable it (entry is gray and unselectable) and even if I try to set other values than 256M the values resets to it when I save changes to cmos.
In addition windows recognize 512M of ram (which is the maximum value selectable in bios settings about shared memory) less then it would do: I have 4Gb of ram and 2 8800GT 512M: total system ram is 5G. Windows 32 bit see 2,5G of system ram, to reach 4Gb (the maximum overall memory size recognizeble by a 32-bit os) i miss 1,5G, 1 by the graphic boards and the other 512M...I bet is the shared memory. I would disable it so to free up 512M of system ram is there a way to do it?

If you're not able to change the share memory to none, go to on chip VGA in bios and disable it

MSI K9N2 Diamond - DDRAM Frequency issue

Hi,
I have a MSI K9n2 Diamond motherboard with an AMD Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition, and 4x2GB Kingston 1066Mhz DDR2 memory cards. The problem is that in BIOS the frequency shown for the RAM is 800Mhz and in Windows(8 64bit) 400Mhz did someone encounter the same issue? What is there to do?

You have no problem as it is reading RAM a bit different in both places. 800 MHz = DDR400 for RAM speed. Your RAM is rated to OC at 1066 MHz (DDR 533) but is running at SPD programmed default value of 800 MHz (DDR400)
Do some research on the internet about DDR and such and get a better grip on the concept that way. There's plenty of info available to read.
Anyway what you show is normal and no problem is there.

K9N2-DIAMOND 8gb at 1066 with Phenom II 955?

Hi all, I know the K9N2-DIAMOND motherboard wont run 8gb of ram at 1066mhz with the Phenom 9950 cpu... previous issue of mine
Will it run 8gb at 1066mhz with the new Phenom II 955 3.2, obv i have flashed latest bios to support cpu ??
Many thanks.

Quote from: danielshaw007 on 26-August-09, 23:35:10
I contacted AMD directly today via, email regarding the 8gb 1066mhz double sided ram issue.
My question: Hi. I have 8gb of Kingston HyperX 1066MHz ram, which is all double sided. My MSI K9N2-Diamond motherboard wont POST when ram is set to 1066MHZ with all 8gb installed, however it will with only 4gb installed. I have contacted MSI though their forum and they say its due to the AMD processors do not support 4 sticks of double sided ram at 1066mhz. Is this correct? Or is there something i can do to make it work correctly?
AMDs response: Thank you for contacting AMD. The statement that MSI made is not correct. Although this was a problem with the first Phenom line, the problem has been solved with the new Phenom II line. The Phenom II 955 should have no problem running 4 populated slots of dual channel ram. Did you double check to make sure that the RAM is on the QVL (Qualified Vendor List)?
tbh ive not actually tried the ram at 1066mhz with the 955 CPU so I will try it tonight and post what happens here!
It does work, but with DDR3 it's the quad rank modules that can't be used in 4s, how do you tell it's quadrank?, CPU-z doesn't.
Anyway, for DDR2 it's still the same, 1 module per channel for max speed.
http://support.amd.com/us/Processor_TechDocs/31116-Public-GH-BKDG_3-28_5-28-09.pdf (page 85 and 86)
That AMD support guy should read their own techdocs.
In short it still means, 1 stick per channel to be sure of proper operation at max speed, everything else is a gamble DDR2 or DDR3.

K9n2 diamond issue

Hi, i have a k9n2 diamond motherboard with latest bios and today it cannot recognize any hard disk....
i tried all the settings (ide,raid,ahci modes), fail safe & optimal bios settings, reflash the bios from startup disk but didn't work...
i have 4 disks and change the sata cables too
so i guess its hardware fail...
my cpu is phenom II x4 3.0Ghz 940
newer motherboards from msi (am3 & am3+) support phenom II x4 3.0Ghz but in cpu support list have only 945 not 940....
will these motherboards support my cpu or i need new one?

"AM3 processors work on AM2+ motherboards due to the presence of both the DDR2 and DDR3 memory controllers on the processor
AM2+ processors do not work on AM3 motherboards due to the processor's lack of a DDR3 memory controller
The pin configuration of the AM2+ socket (940 pins)[2] is mechanically different from the AM3 socket (941 pins)"
phenom II 945 is AM3 so no problems but phenom II 940 is AM2+ and will not work on AM3 & AM3+ mobos^^

K9N2 Diamond - bios does not recognise Intel SSD 520 series

Hi,
I have a K9N2 Diamond motherboard and BIOS v2.7. I recently bought an Intel SSD 520 Series and when I connect it, the BIOS does not recognise the HDD at all. When I try to install Windows 7, the HDD is shown at the list, but it says that I can not install Windows at the HDD.
I have tried to connect the HDD at SATA port 5 and 6 and set the RAID mode to ACHI and also at ports 1 and 2 and set the RAID mode to IDE. Nothing works.
Any ideas?
Regards,
George

.and does the problem appears using the HDD which was equipped in this notebook?
If the BSOD would not appear using the HDD, then a problem is realalted to the inserted SSD drive.
In many cases firmware updates are released for SSD drives and in some cases this might be a solution.

K9N2 DIAMOND - Wrong DRIVER VERSION on CD and WEBSITE????

The driver version found in CD and in MSI website for K9N2 Diamond are correct?
That MOBO in 780a SLI and, as far as I know, the correct driver version is the 15.26 found in nVidia driver site.
MSI provide 18.11 in CD and in WEB site as well but those are referred to a different chipset, isn’t it?
Thank you!
Marco

That's the question ..... using the CD driver (18.11) I had a lot of problems (lack of performance and stability), now after the 15.26 installation everything seems working fine....

MSI K9N2 Diamond w/ AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE Overheating

Motherboard Version = 1.1
BIOS = ? (Just purchased, but have an RMA on the processor for the issue listed below, so I'm not sure of the version)
I purchased the MSI K9N2 Diamond and an AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE. According to the CPU support page, this processor does work with the board. Also, MSI Tech Support said:
Quote
Yes, this board could support Phenom II X4 955.
and
Quote
We have verified this CPU for this board on our lab with no problem
As far as I can tell, the processor works with the board because it does boot and recognizes it. However, it overheats extremely fast. The processor temps exceed 62C (Max Recommended CPU Temp) in under 30 seconds. I reseated the cooler several times with various thermal pastes so I'm sure that is not the issue. I was wondering if anyone knew of an existing problem between this processor or board, or if it was probably just a defective core.

Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Try your setup outside of pc case on a piece of non-conducting material to see if temp will drop.
I'll try this tomorrow when the new CPU arrives if the issue persists.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Just to be 100% sure -- do check that the fan is placed correctly onto the heatsink. the air should be blown into the heatsink, not be sucked through. (Hollow side of the fans down).
Fan is indeed situated to suck air through the cooler.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Check the heatsink is clean.
Yeah it was pristine, brand new.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
And then this: does the heatsink feel hot when the system overheats? Or warm to the touch?
Yes, it was very warm to the touch. Almost too hot to want to keep my finger there, actually did cause a layer of flesh to disappear from repeatedly testing it in this manner >.< (to see if the heatsink was warm each time, that is).

K9N2 Diamond works with X2 3800+ but not Phenomii 940 with updated BIOS

The system in question.
MSI K9N2 Diamond Current BIOS 7375v 2.6, have also tried 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2
AMD Phenom II 940
2X 2Gb Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5
Antec True Power 750 Watt P.S.
EVGA Nvidia GTX 260 GPU
W.D. 300Gb HDD
This system is about 6 months old. When I put this system together for my brother in law, he ordered the parts with the intention of using his old mobo but didn't realize it didnt support the phenom chip he ordered. SO rather than waiting for another ordered part we took a trip to our local Comp USA. K9N2 Diamond said it was phenom 2 ready, yeah ok. Anyway after a few hours of going crazy trying to figure this out for him I found out it wasn't phenom2 capable till you updated the BIOS with an older CPU. Lucky for us I use an X2 3800+ in my machine. So I popped my chip in and ipdated his BIOS with the USB drive tool. Everything seemed right with the world then.
Now he brought the PC over for me to install Windows 7 64 bit for him. Did the install and was tracking down the few drivers Windows 7 missed and ran across Live update 4 for drivers and utilities. Should have known better but I went ahead and let it update the BIOS to 2.6. Sure enough, the CPU and GPU fans cycle on and off with no post. Check this post as his issues are identical to the ones I am experiencing. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133615.0 Now they never resolved this guys issue and it looks like he just RMA'd the board.
So I started narrowing down the possible issues. First thing I did was find the MSI USB Flash Tool again and put BIOS 2.2 back on with my 3800+ back in his machine. Machine worked with every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 installed with USB tool with my 3800+ in his machine but would not post at all with all BIOS versions and his phenomII. Every time his CPU is in the machine, when the power is turned on the CPU and the GPU fans both go to max RPM then turn off over and over. Cleared CMOS multiple times. I know the clear was working when I put my 3800+ in it would state the time was reset in BIOS. Pulled everything out but one stick of RAM and same thing, posts with 3800+, nothing with phenomII. Tried the other stick of RAM although it passed both a memory test with USB tool and memtest with 3800+ installed. Same. Pulled CoolMax 750W PS from my machine and put it in his. Same issues. No post with PhenomII, posts with 3800+. Now this is with NOTHING but a stick of known good RAM, PS, Mobo, CPU and CPU fan. Using onboard video. All other drives, fans, pci devices, ect are disconnected.
So now I have 2 machines in my office all taken apart as I do not want to have to button my machine back up just to tear it back apart in case I have to do more to his Mobo with my CPU. I would rather not have to RMA the board if I do not have to like the guy in the link to the post I put up above.

I understand the need for future proofing mainboards as much as possible. What I am not ok with is the labeling on the box stating the board is PhenomII ready when in fact it isn't ready unless you have an older CPU that you can use to flash the BIOS to make it ready. Plus, if Live Update is the POS that everyone makes it out to be on the forums, why is it the first option on MSI's website for driver and BIOS downloads? MSI's USB Flash Tool is probably one of the easiest things I have ever used to update a BIOS, why not have that as the first option?
Anyway, I managed to talk a buddy into bringing his rig over to help me figure this out. Replaced his 965 with the 940 in question and it fired right up in an ASUS M4A785-M mobo. Tried the memory and PS in his rig as well just to triple check them and they were also good. Put his 965 in the K9N2 Diamond after making sure the BIOS was version 2.6 with the 3800+ and did not fire up with his 965 in the socket.
So a quick recap.
940 and 965 PhenomII will not post in the K9N2 Diamond but the 3800+ will.
All three post in the M4A785
tested memory by using only the slot closest to CPU in K9N2 on stick at a time. Both sticks work in the K9 with the 3800+ and both sticks work in the M4A785 with all three CPU's.
have tried every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 using the MSI USB Flash Tool with the 3800+ in the K9N2.
Have cleared CMOS multiple times with the power cord out and holding down the On/Off switch for 20 seconds to discharge the caps before clearing. After every clear the next successful post says that the BIOS time needs to be updated.
P.S. works on three different rigs.
Any ideas or suggestions? If I must RMA than I must. But it works with the 3800+ so there has to be something firmware wise that is causing this.

K9N2 Diamond & X2 6400+

Hi. I'm waiting for my K9N2 Diamond to arrive. Benn looking in MSI's web page, and first it said that for the X2 6400+ i had to update bios. Now, the first bios that appears in the download bios website is the one that says, in the cpu supporting site, that supports that cpu (7375v20) Is this bios that comes originally with the motherboard or an older one? My doubt is , do i need to update bios in order to work with X2 6400+ ?
My System:
MSI K9N2 Diamond
AMD Athlon X2 6400+
Gigabyte 8800 GT
OCZ 8gb (4x2) DDR2 PC6400 SLi Ready
Zalman CNPS 9500 AM2

What happens if i try and the bios that come with the board doesn't support that cpu ? Can i harm the board ?
No it can't harm the mainboard.
Also you don't need BIOS update, the CPU is supported since initial BIOS release{2.0} and above.
So in all the cases should be fine.
