Mic Playback with MSI NEO4 PLATNIUM SLI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well i know this is a sound card problem. This has happened to me before, last time i re-installed windows, which i just did. I load up vent and when i choose a mixer my mic suddenly is constantly on and i can hear the room noises via the mic. Not only does my mic not work in vent, but i have constant noise. Muteing the mic works....but that isnt an option because i want to use vent. I have tried re-installing the driver.......
Anyone know how to fix this problem?It's Creative's fault, but ive read others having this problem with the motherboard so i hope someone could help me out. Thanks!

Yes i have the latest onboard one installed. Not sure about the my Nforce4 sli chipset though, how do i check my current version? Has there been an update? It might be cuz i dont have SP2 installed (windows)? Im downloading it now and then ill re-install the drivers.

Problems with the Neo4 Platnium/SLI Mobo

Hey all,
Well I just got my mobo up and running today and I have a few questions.
1st. Why is my PCI-E only at x8 ? I have a 6600GT and I know it supports x16?!
2nd. Why every time I boot into windows, it tells me it found new ide controllers but when it tries to install it gives me errors. I try to install drivers from cd but I get the same error, I download drivers from their website but same problem. It only started happening after I installed the latest bios v3.7. I use the ide stuff for my cd rom
3rd. I read that is bad for memeory to run in 2T. When my system boots up it says something along the lines of Dual Channel 400 2T. I read that it should run in 1T but I have no idea where to change it. I have OCZ Premier Series ram (2x512)
That is all for now. Any help would be great.
My System Specs
AMD 3700 cpu

Cant go above 235fsb with MSI neo4 plat SLI

I have started OCing my rig and it seemed to be going very well until 235fsb, now i have reached 2.35gig on the 3200+venice and DDR470 2.5-3-3-7 timings, and this is @Vcore1.45, 1.6chipset voltage and 2.7 RAM voltage, i tested for stability with SuperPI 16mb test and it finished successfully.
the problem is that whenever i try to go beyond these speeds SuperPI never completes the 4mb or higher tests, i upped the Vcore to 1.51 and lowered the RAM to DDR200, but it seems like no matter what i do i can never finish the test not even at 2.37gig,
any ideas??
::EDIT:: i have come across something on hardocp review for this mobo:
"It seems that the board is limited to a 235MHz FSB with the Aggressive timing option in the BIOS Cell Menu screen enabled. Anything above that FSB and the system will not post. However, it is a vastly different story with the Aggressive timing option disabled."
now i am sure that i have disabled agressive timings, but i still have the same problem.
pls help.

I suggest you read the sticky above about overclocking a neo4 board, disabling a couple of bios settings is required, including cpu spectrum among others, you need to do some research before you make a statement like " I can't or it won't", you havent done your homework on this, and it kind of sounds like you have posted here to get some quick and easy answer..... you are going about this backwards in my opinion, if you would have researched you would have already known about this disabling of bios settings....before you go ahead any further I suggest that you take some time to get the basics down first or else you are going to hit a lot of unecessary brick walls and you might end up doing damage to your system, upping voltage is to be used with caution and not as a quick fix, your bios settings and lack of knowledge are the only thing holding you back right now, and btw expect for it to take a couple of days to get it down right, ocing is about careful and caculated trial and error and it usually isn't something you can do off the top of your head, different boards over clock differently, then throw in the variable of which speed of ram you are using, what type of ram, your cpu cooling solution, your power supply, lots of variable to work through...get my drift.
Good luck and have a good day.

Memory not recognized on MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI

I just installed another 512mb of RAM on this system:
MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI
2 x 512mb Corsair XMS XL PRO
1 x 512mb Corsair XMS XL (the one that doesnt work)
IDE HDD
Windows XP PRO
BIOS, and every program i run that can see system specs shows that the infact all 3 Sticks
are recognizable. Though...Windows and a program that shows me my physical memory max both
point out i have only 1 gig of RAM!?
It's there, just not being used?
Now the only difference with the XL version and the XL PRO version is the heatspreader,
everything else is the same....so nothing should be conflicting.
Since the computer somehow knows all my part's details..im thinking just because
the new ram doesnt have PRO that it may not be recognized to work together.
Even so...ram should downclock etc with this motherboard...so this stupid little name
issue shouldnt cause the computer to ignore the ram!
I tried switching DIMM slots, no luck.
Any ideas?

It's a AMD64 dual memory channel system motherboard/CPU.
Valid memory populations are
1.stick in one of the channels .(single mode 64bits)
1.stick in each channel .(dual mode 128bits)
2. sticks in one of the channels.(single mode 64bits)
4.sticks ,2 in each channel.(dual mode 128bits)
3 sticks is n/a.
The population on memory controller , it's initialization and modeselection , single/dual mode is chosen by the A64 cpu.
It's been said that later rev.E cpus can autoselect unmatched population between channels (of e.g 3.sticks) and
set the whole memory pool in single mode.
But i have never seen anyone successfully test/run it .

Using the "silicon controller" on the MSI NEO4 PLAT SLI, quick question!

I have a stable OC w/ my FX55 (261x11) 2.87GHz, but now I want to use the Silicon Controller, and not just my NVIDIA controller. Does the MSI NEO4 PLAT SLI "LOCK" the silicon controller, so since my FSB is OC'ed, I dont want any problems.... By not using all 4 ports on the NVIDIA controller, will this maybe "relax" the nvidia controller, and not let it work so hard, or does it not matter. (overall speed wise)

All of the PCI-E devices are locked, so that includes the SiI3132 controller and the Marvell Gigabit NIC. One note, it's best to use the SiI3132 "last". AnandTech did a benchmark of the two controllers, and the onboard nVIDIA controller was faster, although the 3132 PCI-E controller was much faster than the competitions use of PCI based SiI3112 controllers. If you've already used your nVIDIA controller for 4 SATA or SATA II devices, then by all means use the SiI3132 without overclocking fear.

Gskill memory with msi neo4 k8n platinum sli

have checked the stickies and couldn't see anything
will this be compatible with the above ?
G.Skill 1GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x512MB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit
thanks in advance

It's still a Neo 4 board, notice the diamond version doesn't say Neo 4 either.
Thats incorrect, the "K8N Platinum SLI" and the "K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI" are different by the missing silicone image SATA controller and single vs duel gigabit nic's...
K8N Platinum SLI = 4 SATA ports and single Gb Nic (this is the low cost SLI option)
K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI is sold in America and is identical to the Diamond (has the silicone image SATA controller) for 6 SATA ports and Dual Gb Nic's but don't expect the Duel Net Card with bluetooth and wireless.
K8N Neo4 Platinum is the plain old nforce4 ultra offering.
Check the differences on msicomputer.com vs msi.com.tw and it will become clearer, its taken me 2 months to get my head around it all.

Problem with MSI X58 Platinum SLI - IOH temperature !

Hi guys.
I have this PC configuration:
- MSI X58 Platinum SLI ( Bios Version 3.8 - http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6707/161020101249.jpg )
- Intel Core i7 930 2.80 GHz box ( with Intel Turbo Boost running sometimes at 3.06 Ghz )
- MSI GeForce GT240 1GB DDR5 128-bit HDMI
- Corsair 6GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 XMS3 Triple Channel Kit ( sets to AUTO and running at 1066 Mhz )
- Corsair CMPSU-750TXEU
- Ordinary case ( http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4200/161020101246.jpg & http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/8480/161020101247.jpg ).
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I bought my PC components 2 months ago, so they are new.
Now, guys I think that is a problem with my motherboard. When I turn on the computer in Bios I have this temps: CPU – 30 C (86 F); IOH – 71 C (159 F); System 30 C (86 F) - http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/394/161020101242.jpg. After 2 minutes the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 82 C (179 F); System 41 C (105 F) and 2 more minutes later the temperatures are: CPU – 34 C (93 F); IOH – 84 C (183 F); System 43 C (109 F). After 30 minutes of doing nothing I have this temps: CPU – 35 C (95 F); IOH – 85 C (185 F); System 42 C (107 F) -
Guys it is normal with IOH temperature ? I am a little worried about it ( to be honest I am more than “a little” … I am worried a lot ).
Ok, I know I don’t have a good case but in 3 weeks I should receive this Thermaltake Spedo Advance Case (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Product.aspx?C=1121&ID=1829) and I will buy a new CPU cooler ( I don’t know yet wich one – maybe Corsair CWCH70 or Noctua NH-D14 but I have to see the case first … to be sure there is a plenty of space for those coolers ).
Pls help me with that IOH temperature. It is normal ? What if I intend to make a little OC ( lets say CPU to 3652 Mhz and RAM to 1333 Mhz … but also I will ask for your support ! ) my motherboard will burn ?
If it is necessary I will contact my retailer and send him back the motherboard but … I like MSI a lot.
Thx guys for your support !

Hey guys,
Here is a nice cheap alternative.
Here is my story about the same issue. I found it after looking at why my computer freezes sometimes. Not very often but enough for me to do some investigation. I noticed my IOH temp was a whopping 117 degrees Celsius. lol. Surprised my mobo didn't burn out by now. I wanted to evaluate the situation with the heat sink and decided to take it off. After taking it off I found extremely crusty purple compound on board the chipset and the heatsink. I took me FOREVER to scrape it off. it was almost like a cement which I found odd. After scraping and cleaning the surfaces with alcohol, I placed some silver compound on and proceeded to put it back on.
Well, upon hooking everything back up I was still at 95 to 103 degs. Now I started to really look at the options to replace this. I had SLI config which means I had to do something clever with the southbridge as well. A nice thermaltake chipset solution w/fan and a low profile copper southbridge with shipping was about 45 bucks. Hmm ... This is a sure fix from the threads I have read and its really kid of expensive to fix a simple defect. the problem is not necessarily with the heatsink not being sufficient. Its the combo of the compound used vs the amount of pressure applied between the heatsink and chipset. It was completely unacceptable. I knew this right away when I was watching the temp and then I would press on the top of the IOH heatsink and I would watch it drop another 15 degrees in less then 10 seconds. The springs are extremely weak and not effective at all in transferring the heat from the NB.
Here if my fix. Cost me less than a dollar at the hardware store and it works ideal thus far. Do this at your own risk. Doing this will probably void any warranty too. All my problems are solved and I am running at 57 degrees, YES, 57 degrees with the stock heatsink and no additional cooling.
For one scrape all that old crap off like I did. Apply your new compound. But when you go to replace your heatsink, use the following method. The trick is to use metal screws with a mobo washer, original springs from the plastic studs and a nylon locknut. Use screws that are the same diameter and length (maybe a tad bit longer) as the plastic retainer studs. Also grab a few of those red nylon mobo washers too, were gonna need them as well.
After scraping and applying compound, reassemble as follows. Screw with washer inserted into the back of the mobo so the threads are out front. The plastic/nylon washer is betweeen the screwhead and the back of the mobo as a insulator. Put the heatsink on. With the threads thru the heatsink already, put the springs on and start spinning on the locknut. I torqued the nut down on the spring until the spring almost became fully compressed. The purpose of the spring here is really to prevent you breaking something and at the same time using the max force of the spring since it weak to begin with. Thats why we need to compress it down pretty much all the way. There will be little to no room in the spring at this point. The heatsink at this point should be pretty solid to the board as well. I noticed with the plastic studs before the heatsink would wobble if you gave it a little rocking back and forth before. Not this time. Shouldn't move much if at all. Remember not to torque down too much. You don't want to go beyond the springs compression. Even if you did by accident, its better then not using a spring at all. If you feel that it starts to feel tight when torquing, you torqued too far. Stop an backup a 1/4 turn or so. It is also very important to make sure both torques are equal on both sides as well. Alternate sides when torquing down. I could tell by how much thread I had left on both sides and by looking for any uneven sides.
To summarize, the compound is a problem no doubt. After you resolve the compound issue, its all about the adequate pressure between the heatsink and the IOH. Much like the amount of pressure needed between your CPU and your heatsink give or take. And the pressure that would be as an aftermarket solution like the thermaltake chipset cooler. You dont see cheesy springs on that. Wake up MSI. Simpy using a more effective spring could save MSI some cash in the long run. I envision a leafsprin design like the thermaltake chipset one. The heatsink design could be better, sure, but the design itself is not the problem. Replace the heatsinks if you would like to, if your overclocking and stuff. Funny, this board I have is a refurb too and only had it for a few weeks. Figured they would have done something about it.
Sorry the pics are not the best. Here is about as close as I could get to the finished product

recently i got this problem. Randomly my display goes blank, like the PC is on standby. The pc seems to be running but the monitor seems to be set to standby.
after i restart the PC(only able to do by the reset button, cannot Ctrl+Alt+del) everything seems to be ok.
the problem seems to occur randomly.
anyone have any idea what's going on here?
thanx for reading.
cheers!

What kind of monitor, how is it connected and does it use calibration software. I've seen this with Samsung (and some OEM brands made by Samsung) monitors, which use Magictune, connected to the DVI port. Basically Magictune is crap ands clobbers the monitor's EDID info so that it switches to the VGA port - you can check this by plugging in the VGA cable. Depending on the monitor, it can cause permanent damage to the monitor's firmware which requires a firmware re-burn... or as apparently in your case, temporary damage which is fixed with a reboot. The only solution is to get a newer version of Magictune.. or dump it completely.

MSI Neo4 Plat/SLI missing Creative Audio Enable/Disable in BIOS

Alright I thought I was having some driver issues, but apparently it is a bit more in depth than that. I recently just updated my BIOS thinking I may get a resolution that way but i guess not. I was browsing the large thread about this board and noticed that someone made mention of just disabling the sound in the BIOS and using an external solution. Well there isn't an option in the BIOS. I know where to look...looked there before seeing the thread...I don't have a creative labs audio option in my BIOS. Didn't have one in the original BIOS either...I did spend some time in it before flashing it.
What could be causing it not to show up in the BIOS.
The board has been a bit squirrely...I can't get the onboard 1394 to actually find some available resources...I have seen posts where someone was having the same problem with the PCI Express Bridge (or something to that effect). I would be willing to just pop in another sound card, but I have my suspicions that something worse is going on, and the sound and 1394 are just symptoms of a larger problem.
I have seen the issues of usinga non -5v PS with this board. Although the problems seems to be functionality, not availability as is my case.
Any ideas before I make a phone call to MSI, I would hate to RMA this board as it has all of my condensation measures already in place.

We've had reports of missing bios items b4, they've been the 1394 & gigabit options.
Some have been solved by slackening mobo srews by 1/4 - 1/2 turn, or checking & finding surplus mobo risers which were causing shorts. Bios items missing
After eliminating that think it's get in touch with MSI time - sorry
luck

MSI Neo4 Plat SLI. Help with sli setup (rma time)

Hi everyone.
I'm new to the sli world. I am having an issue with setting up the second video card. Runs great with one card as soon as I install the second card and try to play a game or run 3dmark03 the screen goes blank and the system reboots. I reversed the sli card made sure it was seated good, enabled the nvidia settings to dual cards.
Is there a bios setting? I might be missing or something. Please help this newbe, I'm getting frustrated.
Thanks.

Anyone?????? I am going to RMA this sucker.....Updated to 3.30 and now it doesnt see the other video card. try to shut down and it reboots....aaaahhhhhhgggg .......Can not get a hold of MSI tech support (Non existant).....Hmmmm should tell me something.
Sorry for venting

all fans are up, leds are workin.
ok then when i switch on my power supply. before i turn on the system.
in the middle of my motherboard, i see a yellow led light. its small. i dun think its bad. so i continue.
i connect my screen keyboard and mouse. btw screen is new and tested. ( it works)
i turn on comp. Fan turns on, water cooler works, and lights flash.
then all of a sudden, nothing shows up on my screen. its blank. it says there is no signal. i checked my video card. everything is fine with it.
i check my ram and its all fine.
oh btw my motherboard is k9a2 platnium. and i see in the middle where the model is. its version 1.0
do i have to flash my bios?
if so how do i? cause i dun have a screen. and nothing will show up on my computer.
can someone tell me how to flash so that my phenom 9950 will work i think thats the reason or can someone help me. cause msi never picks up their technical support. ( its horrible) so help me plz. Thanks

CPU cooler that works with K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard

I have read that some say the Zalman interferes on this board with the 1, and 2 ram slots, is this true? I'm using the 3500 Winchester CPU.
Does someone have a part number if the Zalman is; a) the best, and b) clears properly.
Also I see everyone talking about Artic Silver 5. What does the"5" mean? I have Artic Silver that I have been using for about 2 years, but there iis no designation "5". Do I need the new stuff?
Thanks

I don’t know muck about artic silver, but I have a comment on the cpu-cooler question.
I recently bought a K8N SLI Platinum, which has an almost identical layout as the Neo4 Platinum. I use a Termalright XP 120 cooler which according to there webpage does not fit on this board. But I didn’t had much problem at all! It is tight with the first ram slot thaw, and with a memory just a few millimetres higher than mine it wouldn’t fit (I use TwinMOS PC3200).
Unfortunately, I don’t know if it’s a similar situation with the Zalman coolers, but I really like to recommend the XP120 (or even XP80) anyway. It keeps my cpu (althorn 3000+) at almost the same temp as the sounding system, during normal use. And since you are free to put any fan you like, you have a very good start making your system really quiet.

MSI Neo4 Diamond SLI mobo...internet connectivity issues.

I have been having internet problem for the last couple of weeks on my new gaming PC, which sucks. After many, many hours of troubleshooting it myself, which included reformatting, trying a different net adapter, working through Windows, & anything else I could think of, I finally found the solution.
Thinking back to some old issues I had a couple years ago I checked my IRQ numbers & found the network was sharing an IRQ with the dual channel PCI controller.
Now, here is my issue & question. I cannot disable this device in device manager, I can only uninstall it. Still, when I reboot it automatically reinstalls the device in Windows. Now when it does reinstall it installs my hard drive, CD-ROM, etc etc etc. so I guess it is an important controller, but it doesn't cause problems in my game to have it uninstalled.
So the question at hand is can I either change the IRQ of this controller or disable it somehow without having to constantly reboot my PC?

Generally it shouldn't be a problem that you'r ATA controller is shearing IRQ with the NIC. Having your harddrive-controller installed will greatly increase performance of your harddrives and cd-roms as it will enable DMA access to your disks.
However, there are a few things you might want to try: first off, download and install the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard from:
www.nvidia.com
Then install the latest drivers for your NIC (manufacturer?) If you are using more than one NIC, use the Win XP "home network installation guide" to enable access to the internet (It will solve a lot of issues, using the buit-in guides of windows xp)
Hope this works!
Cheers!
