KN8 Diamond Plus BIOS, here are my settings that seem stable, Ideas Anyone?

So, has anyone figured out exactly what the following settings could/would/should be? I know what they do, I just don't know why some of them should be soft settings or why some of them should ever change (NB-SB-CPU hypertransport for one)
But nonetheless, here's what I set, and it seems to be stable. When I got all these set, SLI seemed to settle down and start working consistently with the EVGA 7800GT CO N517 cards. Before these settings, most games crashed with SLI on, ran fine with it off....who knows

I agree with Apple Renegade on the Spread Spectrum settings. I remember reading that Spread Spectrum can conflict with wireless devices when you've got an 802.11 rig.

Put all the "Spread spectrum" stuff on disabled. U don't need it. The option is there cus of possible interference with radio's and cell phones nearby.

correct me if i'm wrong, but spread spectrum is disables itself if you increase the FSB. and, wireless devices work fine with the spread spectrum enabled (i got a 802.11g wi-fi card in the rig and i didn't have any problems with it)

Brush Lag? - Here are OpenGL settings that improve performance

For anyone having horrible Brush lag, please try the following settings and report your findings in this thread.
After much configuring and comparing CS4 vs CS3, I found that these settings do improve CS4's brush lag significantly. CS3 is still faster, but these settings made CS4 brush strokes a lot more responsive.
Please try these settings and share your experiences.
NOTE: these do not improve clone tool performance, the best way to improve clone performance right now seems to be to turn off the clone tools overlay feature.
Perhaps Adam or Chris from Adobe could explain what is happening here. The most significant option that improved performance appears to be the "Use for Image Display - OFF". I have no idea what this feature does or does not do but it does seem to be the biggest performance hit. The next most influential setting seems to be "3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF"
Set the following settings in Photoshop CS4 Preferences:
OpenGL - ON
Vsync - OFF
3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF
Force Bilinear Interpolation - OFF
Advanced Drawing - ON
Use for Image Display - OFF
Color Matching - ON

Hi guys,
As I am having very little problems with my system I though I should post my specs and settings for comparison reasons.
System - Asus p5Q deluxe,
Intel quad 9650 3ghz,
16gb pc6400 800Mhz ram,
loads of drives ( system drive on 10K 74gb Raptor, Vista partition on fast 500gb drive, Ps scratch on an another fast 500gb drive, the rest are storage/bk-ups ),
Gainward 8800GTS 640mb GPU,
30ins monitor @2560x1600 and a 24ins 1920x1200,
Wacom tablet.
PS CS4 x64bit
Vista x64
All latest drivers
No Antivirus. Index and superfetch is ON, Defender is ON
No internet connection except for updates
No faffing around with vista processes
Wacom Virtual HID and Wacom Mouse Monitor are disabled
nVidia GPU set to default settings
On this system I am able to produce massive images, the last major size was 150x600cm@200ppi and the brushes are smooth until they increased to around 700+ pixels then there is a slight lag of around 1 second if I draw fast, if I take it slow then there's no lag. All UI is snappy.
I have the following settings in Photoshop CS4 Preferences:
Actual Ram: 14710MB
Set to use (87%) :12790MB
Scratch Disk
on a separate fast 500gb - to become a 80gb ssd soon
History state: 50
Cache: 8
OpenGL - ON
Vsync - OFF
3D Interaction Acceleration - OFF
Force Bilinear Interpolation - OFF
Advanced Drawing - ON
Use for Image Display - ON
Color Matching - ON
I hope this helps in some way too...
EDIT: I should also add that I Defrag all my drives with a third party defrag software every night due to the large image files.

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

The user acct my apple was connected to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that account and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user?

The user profile my appleTV was synced on my computer to no longer works (corrupt). My Apple TV is still synced to that profile and all of my recent purchases are going to that username. Does anyone know how to get all of the purchased items back and to the new user (same computer)? I created a new user on my computer and moved the itunes folder to the desktop but never changed the path to which the apple synced to. Now I can only see old items I purchased before the user profile went bad. PLease help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Changing the library the Apple TV is synced with will delete all synced content from the Apple TV, but it won't delete purchased content.
You should be able to change the library, resync any content you want and transfer your purchases back to the new library.

K8N Diamond Plus BIOS problems

Hi , just replaced my lanpartyUT sli-dr expert with K8N Diamond Plus mobo and having problems allready :D
Just finished overclocking and now running at (250 x 11 x 800mhz x 1.300v+0.2v x dram/fsb 1/1 x 2.80v)
Memory timings --> (3,7,14,3,2,8,2,2,1,3,200mhz(15.6us),1,16x,7x,7ns,5ns,0clk,DiCC:enabled,1T,8beats,reduce 00%... ...)
The problem is "BOOT" related... System is PRIME95 stable , but still when trying to "restart windows" or "reset" the system wont BOOT !!?
When i shutdown and then power up, the system boots perfectly !? What can cause this kind of behaviour :/
I have OC:d quite many systems , but this is new even to me

The windows core program shows htt link 1000mhz exact. Memory settings are all "manually" adjusted. Cpu vcore is 1.300 & extra voltage 0.2v=1.5v.
All ECC options are disabled.Hdd:s adjusted manually. Should i rise the (NB) voltage , or does that have anything to do with this !? Maybe not at 250fsb only :D Cool & quiet is disabled naturally :/ All fan controls disabled , connected directly to psu. No D.O.T,s or anything automatic overclocking enabled. The (L cache & data cache scrubs) are strange to me, so those are disabled.After flashed bios , enabled boot sector protection. All the mobo power connectors are in use (24pin+8pin+4pin) Could it be that the memory modules should be used on ports 3 & 4 (now on 1 & 2) ??

K8N Diamond Plus- bios freeze & question about temp/voltage monitor

A weird issue I had right after I setup my mobo last night was that I could not access the "PC Health" portion of the bios. If I tried selecting it, it would just freeze. Is this a known issue? I'm hoping a bios update may solve this one. Does anyone know anything about this?

Well I was mostly just asking if this was a known issue, so I guess "no" is all the answer I need... Now, what would be my best solution? I am assuming bios update, is there anything else that I should consider?
But if it helps, as I said its a brand new build, so I'm running the default bios. 1.00. My other components are: Silverstone Zeus 560w, 2GB of G.Skill pc4000, Raptor 74gb, 7900gtx, Opteron 165.
Also, since my other thread was locked (I figured seperating two different topics would make it easier for people to respond to specific questions, I apologize,) here's my other question pasted:
"I just set up my new system with this motherboard (K8N Diamond Plus,) an Opteron 165, Scythe Mine heatsink, and a Silverstone Zeus 560w. Its these components that lead to my question-
I am getting temps of about 31C idle, 41C load. Nice temps yes, but I'm not sure how accurate those are. That means that it is idling at 86F in a room that was probably in the high 70's, maybe 80. Seems a little too good to be true, but then again, I am used to Intel's furnace-like temps
Its the voltage reading that has me a bit more concerned though. Corecenter is reading my +5v as 5.36v, and my +12v as 12.28v. The +3.3v is reading about spot-on at 3.33v. I'm hoping that someone else who has this motherboard can tell me this- are the readings in Corecenter for this motherboard generally accurate, and should I be concerned about this?"
Thanks for any help you can give. No sig yet because I just registered an hour ago, I'll work on it.

Looking to Purchase the KN8 Diamond Plus

Wife is being generous this year and allowing me to have our tax refund to build a budge machine which will be mostly geared towards gaming. One question I have about the above Mobo is on newegg is states it has 2x16 PCIE whereas the MSI site lists it as 1x16. Which is correct? The system I have configured and am looking at purchasing is with the following hardware
KN8 Diamond +
AMD Athlon 62 3700+ SanDiego
2 each MSI NX7800GT-VT2D256E cards
OCZ Titanium 2GB (2x1GB) DDR SDRAM 400 3-2-3-5
and finally 2 SATA 2 Drives. Right now looking at Seagate but am open to suggestions. The rest of the hardware will come from a previous machine. I have the Thermaltake 560 W w/Active PFC at present and can upgrade this if it needs to be.
Thanks for any help/suggestions

As for the PCI-E they are both 16X on the Plus, not that it matters since there is more bandwidth then any current Vid Card can use, so there is little difference in performance.
No doubt.
Single card AGP bus isn't that close to being saturated either. No matter what the card companies would have you think.
Must not be that close - because speculation is high that Nvidia is supposedly going to release a 7800 series card for AGP sometime in February....
Whether or not this actually happens & just how much they "cripple" it like the AGP version of the 6800GS remains to be seen.

KN8 Diamond plus 3 beeps at startup problem

When I connect a Lide 500f scanner I get an extra beep at startup connect a skype phone and I get another extra beep so alltogether PC now beeps 3 times at startup, there are Know problems running PC. Is this a known problem that a new bios ( using 1.20 now) might sort and could it cause a problem long term.

Gigabyte Triton case Gz-xx1ca-sns

beeps are the ami bios beep codes and come from case speaker 3 beeps should indicate a memory problem as thats not the case I would guess at a bios update curing the problem just find it strange problem is uknown. Bios has been cleared and is 1.20

Wheres this K8N Diamond Plus bios V1.16?

I cant recall who said they had this bios here in the forums but I can only find bios 1.0 for this MB?

Quote from: RogerP on 23-February-06, 00:33:56
I have a copy and am using it, it does not do to many thing up front, but there are a few changes I BIOS parameters, but it still set the memory module default in correctly, at lest it does for my memory. Also, some random unexplained error messages no longer pop up during boot. In addition, my system is running solid.
Send me a personal message with your e-mail address and I will send you a copy. V1.16 comes with no grantee it will do any thing for you

K8N Diamond Plus BIOS Bootmanager?

On my old DFI Nforce3 board I had a feature that was really handy. At boot I could hit escape and then choose the drive I want to boot from in a quick popup menu. Does the K8N Diamond Plus have a simmular feature? I find this to be very usefull becasue I dual boot x64 and x32 winxp and not having to deal with software bootmanagers was really nice. Honestly it was the only nice thing that DFI board had

Thank you

Could it be settings that need to be adjusted somewhere? I'm using osx lion 10.8.3 and google chrome.

Re: DIAMOND PLUS Bios page has been down for a while now.

i really like my Msi dimond plus board, but one thing that really bothers me is that my kingstong hyperX pc3500 ram ran at 400 on my abit kna board and will only run at 333 on this board.. time for some new ram i guess. But maybe abit just makes a better bios.

Elaborate Rody, you never know!!

DIAMOND PLUS BIOS

When do you think we'll get one??

I do not think they have one, I have been sent BIOS upgrades V1.16 and V1.18 to try and fix problems I have and V1.16 did not do much of anything that I have noticed and V1.18, if you set "MCT Timing Mode" to "Manual" the computer will not boot, until you clear the BIOS.
I complained about the BIOS default voltage setting for my memory modules was outside of the manufactures spec and they answered if the default voltage out of specification for the memory I should not use the memory in the MS-7220. I know this an error, in the BIOS, because if you set the voltage manually, to any voltage setting within spec, the BIOS indicates it is a safe voltage to use with current installed memory. Nevertheless, answer was not that the BIOS correct, not correct or we know will correct the problem. Their answer was not to use the memory, if the BIOS setting were in error. Corsair lists the memory as one of preferred modules in the list of compatible memory for the MS-7220.
I beginning to think there is nobody home are MSI Tech Support, if you know what I mean.

K8n Diamond Plus Temperatures. Are mine high?

so i have been running speedfan lately and i thought it was giving me incorrect readouts on my temps inside my case. so i ran Hmonitor and i am getting the same temps. im not to sure on what certain temps actually are, nor do i know their typical range on my current system.
Temps at idle typing this right now:
Mainboard: 47C (what is the mainboard temp actually? what part of the actual mainboard is it reading from, southbridge, etc..)
CPU1: 31C (this is my 3500+ 939 Newcastle chip, even though in the BIOS it says i am running at 36C)
AUX: 41C (what is this temp actually recording from?)
Core: 42-45C (this is my northbridge i know that, but is it typical of the NB to change temps so quickly even at idle?)
Fan speeds at idle:
Sys Fan(Northbridge cooler): ~5820rpm (Hmonitor says 5600rpm)
CPU fan: ~1440rpm (this i am assuming is standard for a zalman 92mm heatsink
im really just wondering what the mainboard temp ACTUALLY is and if i should be worried about it being so high. also what is the auxillary temp measing, is my northbridge supposed to change temps so dramatically, and thats about it. oh also, i am running 2 7900gt's SLI's which hover around 50-60C so im not worried about them. also my ambient is around 21-24C(my assumptions since i dont actually have a temp in my room)

afaik there is no temp sensor in the northbridge. the temp sensor for the system is located on the mobo, usually in close proximity to the northbridge. the other readings you might have can be the following: GPU core, HDD and CPU.
