K9N4-SLI video question

I'm real close to buying the MSI K9n4-SLI-F MB. I dl'ed the manual and it seams to say that the PCIE 16x slots are only supported at 8X speed. I understand if that is true while in SLI, but is the 1st slot running at 16x with one vid card?
Thanks

Happy to help. It should make a nice Christmas gift for him.

K9N4 SLI with AMD Athlon 6400+ X2 - Damage to CPU???

Hello everybody...I have a very quick question. I purchase an AMD Ahtlon 6400+ X2 processor and the MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard not knowing that they are incompatible. I didn't find this out until I had installed the CPU, RAM and PCI-E video card, powered up and didn't get a boot or POST. It's alittle frustrating and I've made arrangements to swap the motherboard for one that is compatible. However my concern here is any damage that may have occurred to the processor in doing this. Does anyone know whether this would have caused any permanent damage to the CPU or any other component? Any response would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Just to let you know, i too made the same mistake back in February 2008. i got the same board and the same processor and it also would not boot. However, luckily I did have my old processor to got back to and i installed it and then I flashed the BIOS to 1.4 and then reinstalled the 6400 CPU. I have been running my PC for nearly a year now and have had no problems. So I doubt it caused any damage.

K9n4 sli wont boot into bios

this is a new build my specs are
motherboard k9n4 sli
cpu amd anthlon 64 x2 4600
ram ocz 6400 dual channel 2x 2gig
power supply ocz game extreme 700
video card evga 8800gts
hard drive wd 500 gig sata
heat sink ocz vendetta
so like the title says I can not get into the bios, I get a very loud single beep, now the best way I can describe the beep is as an angry beep. Sounds stupid I know. Now when I look up the beep it seems that it could be a memory or cpu, the cpu beep is described as high/low siren, I don't really get that, but it is higher pitched then a normal beep. I have tried moveing the ram around and only putting one stick in. I have tried to clear the bios. It seems that something is not working right or incompatable. my money is on the ram,cpu,or motherboard. The sad thing is I cant really switch out any of those things. I have the feeling that it might be the cpu,but would like some feedback before I rma anything.
any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

not sure by which one do you mean
amd athlon 64 x2 4600 socket am2
probably the first thing to get upgraded but should be compatable or am i missing something
There are several models "amd athlon 64 x2 4600 socket am2".
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=1087&maincat_no=1#menu
Also i've asked to double check that you have 4600+ {and not 6400+, because 6400+ is not supported}.
Have you plugged CPU FAN in CPU-FAN connector to the mainboard? {Not in SYSFAN}

K9N4 SLI: Support of 3 GB in dual channel

Hello,
This is a great forum
I've a MSI K9N4 SLI (MSI 7325), AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+ oced to 4000+ and two stick of one gb of ram.
Each module is inserted in different channels.
I want to add a new module of 1 gb ram, so my system will have 3 GB in total. So my question is: If I add a new module, will the memory work in single or dual channel? If yes or not, will at least work in single channel?
My system score 4,9 as processor and 5,9 memory. I'm using Vista x64 and all works good but I need a little more speed.
Thanks!

If even can works will be in single.
Use 1,2 or 4 memory modules.
For best performance and troubles free use 2x matched memory sticks only.

Random reboots K9N4 SLI

Hello guys,
I'm writing because I've a random reboot problem.
My PC randomly reboot even if I've Windows configured to not reboot if found a BSOD. I mean I've disabled reboot automatically option.
The problem occurs randomly. For example, I can play games without problems. But sometimes while I'm listening music, it reboot.
Event log entries are normal, no recorded error.
I ran many test and memory is OK, hard disk OK, video card OK. Processor works stable even when it's overclooked with MSI Dual Core Center.
When I had XP x64 installed, the random reboot problem was very frequent. Now I switched to XP Pro x86 and the random reboots still happen but less frequent than with x64.
I read mobo's manual and I found that this mobo need a power supply of at least 450 watt and mine PSU is 350. Can this be the problem?
My graphic card need at least 350 watt, so here I'm OK. But mobo need 450.
In summary, I'm 100% sure that hard disk, graphic card, ram modules and proccessor are OK Also, this problem happen with or without overclocking processor with MSI Dual Core Center.
Can be a faulty mother board or chipset? Or is probably the PSU of 350 watt?
I looked at capacitors and all appear to be normal.
Help!
Sorry for my English.
Best regards,
André
Details:
XP Pro SP2 x86 with all latest drivers, SP and patch

Hi,
Thanks. I see your links and I noted that all recommended PSU are Enermax a one Corsair.
The model of Enermax I found near to me is this:
Maybe you don't know this specific model, but this looks a good one?
ENERMAX NOISETAKER ATX V 2.0 485W 20+4 PINES
http://www.enermaxusa.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_46&products_id=110
+12v1 22A 32A combine pw
+12v2 22A 32A combine pw
+3.3v 32A
Should work, but the main idea is to get a single rail PSU.. read why from the link which i give you before.
"Thanks. I see your links and I noted that all recommended PSU are Enermax a one Corsair."
you are missed the 3th link then: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103299.msg757739#msg757739

OCZ OCZ2G8002GK PC2-6400 Dual channel ram 2x 1Gb
2x EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GT GPUs (Only one hooked up so far)

Problem: Won't boot to BIOs. The computer turns on but I get no screen. I have tried all possible positions for the ram and even tried both video cards, and still nothing. Any ideas anyone?

Quote from: MamaLukuBuku on 01-February-08, 10:40:57
But I still want to know what the problem is. The board turns on, the fan on the board spins and everything else seems to work, why wouldn't I get a screen?
Well you have to swap some parts to find out.
Do you hear any beeps?
What D-Bracket shows?
Have you Clear CMOS Guide as suggested?
What is the newest PSU which you have tested?

Looking for some more voltage love K9N4-SLI

Maybe one of you fine folks can help a brother out on a bios. I have the 1.51 bios for my K9N4 SLI-F board, and the one thing that's holding me back is a little more voltage out of my ram, and possibly a smidge on the north bridge. Is it possible to modify the bios so I can up the ram voltage? I'm running a 5000+ BE and I have plenty of cooling to keep the rig cool. I'm using 2x2gig sticks of GSKill pc6400 F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ and a little more voltage would probably go a long way. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: lanman31337 on 04-April-08, 06:35:28
Again, this board is invaluable. You got me from 3000 to 3150, and I can probably keep going. Raised my ram to 2, northbridge and processor up .5. Running VERY cool, running VERY stable, thanks!
Nice

K9N4 SLI Vista Drivers

I was recently... Uh.. Well I guesse the word would be "Forced" to upgrade my Pc to Vista after my old operating System (Windows XP ME 2002 edition) was no longer supported by Microsoft and the zune software. Basically It bricked my original Zune. Now I have Vista and it isn't too horrible. Except the only problem I have is I cant get my USB ports to register anything. My Keyboard and Mouse work, they both have their own drivers. But I cannot get my PC to register my USB Keys, Webcams, or the zune itself. Maybe I missed something on the main site but I can't find the correct drivers for the main board it seems.
I appologize If I am missing something on the forums or the webpages already posted. Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: Sorry I missed some data ^.^ The board I have is the K9N4-SLI Model MS-7325. Chipset nForce4, Southbridge nForce4.

You don't need drivers for usb ports.
But you do need drivers for devices.
Those are typical drivers from the manufacturers of the USB devices, like your webcam.
Has nothing to do with your board.

K9N4 SLI and Phenom

Hello,
I searched the forum to see if my K9N4 SLI (nForce 500 SLI) will support Phenom? Officially MSI says not.
If not, will the future AM2+ processors compatible? For example Athlon with Rana core or Phenom 9900?
K9N4 SLI had 4 or 8M?
Thanks!

"If not, will the future AM2+ processors compatible? For example Athlon with Rana core or Phenom 9900?"
Nop..
"K9N4 SLI had 4 or 8M?"

No audio in Win 7 K9N4 SLI (MS-7325) with latest Realtek driver

I am running an K9N4 SLI (MS-7325) motherboard and cannot get sound to play in Windows 7 or Ubuntu 11.10. In Win 7, my driver is: 6.0.1.6305
Windows says there are no conflicts and everything is fine but I don't hear anything out of my headphone. Any ideas or direction? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies... I have not tried reverting to an older driver since the only drivers available on the official website are only for Windows 2000 and older. According to the current driver, I have it in the Line Out jack on the back... I do not have any jacks in the front for line out audio.

Yes, This is a New Build, though Windows XP is already on the Hard Drive From a Previous Build. I Had a K8N Neo Platinum Motherboard with ATHLON64 3400. MB caught the hiccups and I changed everything out. So My Hard Drives have to be reloaded but not wiped??
Yes, that is necessary. Also leave only one HDD temporary where you planing to install your OS, when installation is done then attach your other HDD(s).
"So My Hard Drives have to be reloaded but not wiped?"
No need to be wiped, only Windows re-installation.
