Modded bios for K8N Neo-54G Platinum

Hi,
i've noticed that there are some modded bios versions available for the K8N (i.e. at syar2003's collection). My question is now whats the difference between them and the MSI versions (especially between the latest 1.56 versions)?
Edit: Has anyone allready used the modded bios 1.56 and has he got any performance boost?

Hehe , don't consider yourself a retard for this .
MSI's naming of theese boards is pretty simular and can cause theese
kinds of confusions .You are not the first one .
Anyway it was good you got the mishap resolved so quick
and got up and running again.
Look for radical_53 's post he has made a "Neo2" bios with nvraid ide rom bios 4.66 . Send him a message and he will email it to you ,i'm sure.
Vdimm voltage is not coming any higher i think , either for Neo1 or Neo2 .
Guess it has to do with board design , selection of regulator IC , and
the fact that msi runs mem from the 3.3v line (some voltage level will always be missed due to the components and regulation)
If you want really high vdimm there is just one way and that is hardmodding
the motherboard and that can be a risky affair bothe for board/mem and cpu
if things go wrong.
Other alternative is another mobo .
DFI's s754 takes vdimm from +5v and there is a modded bios that gives upto 4v for memory. They have a s939 board ready thats being betatested , but it's not released yet.
MSI K8N boards have pretty desent max vdimm compared to many others .
This is what i have found on some others :
Gigabyte max VDIMM 2.7v
MSI K8N Neo2 VDIMM 2.85v
DFI Lanparty UT VDIMM 4.0v (s754 with modded bios)
Asus K8N VDIMM 2.8v (some PCB's max 2.7v)
Epox VDIMM 2.8v
Chaintech VDIMM 2.9v

  • Which drivers for K8N Neo 2 Platinum

    I'm just about to place an order for a K8N Neo2 Platinum to go with my AMD 64 3000+ Winchester.
    As is usual I normally download the latest relevant BIOS and drivers in advance so everything is ready to go when the hardware turns up.
    However, looking at the MSI page, there seems to be a bewildering array of drivers for this board: Neo2 drivers and it's not exactly clear which ones are for my specific board.
    For example, I can't seem to find a relevant SATA driver from the list.
    The actual board I'm going for is this one from Overclock: link to board
    Can anyone list clearly the drivers, BIOS and any other utilities I will need when installing this board?
    Thanks.

    Well after a lot of reading, I've determined that the following files are applicable to my board:
    BIOS
    BIOS: 7025v14.zip
    Drivers
    NVIDIA nForce3 System Drivers: NF3_CK8S.zip
    Marvell LAN Drivers: MarvellWXP69.zip
    Realtek ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers: Realtek_ALCXXX_73.zip
    I still can't seem to find a SATA/IDE driver as none of the ones listed are compatible with a Neo2 Platinum.
    The closest I can find is the Nvidia nForce3 SATA/RAID driver for Windows 2K/XP but that is only for K8N Neo Platinum (7030).
    Anyone know if this is the same driver for the Neo2 Platinum (7025) also?
    Have I missed anything?
    There are also lots of utilities, some of which appear to be useful, if not necessary:
    Utilities
    NVIDIA nTune: nTune_MB.zip
    MSI DigiCell: DigiCell_MB.zip
    MSI PC Alert 4: PCAlert4_MB.exe
    MSI Core Center: CoreCenter_MB.exe
    MSI Live Update: LiveUpdate.exe
    Fuzzy Logic 4: FuzzyLogic.exe
    MSI DMI Browser: DMIBrowser.exe
    MSI i-Speeder: I-SPEEDER.exe
    MSI WMI Info: WMIInfo.exe
    MSI PasswordKeeper: PasswordKeeper.exe
    MSI SecureDoc: SecureDoc.exe
    MSI InfoView XP: InfoView.exe
    MSI GoodMem: insgoodmem.exe
    MSI Lockbox: LockBox.exe
    Anyone care to comment on the usefulness (or not) of any of those utilities?

  • BIOS FOR K8n neo platinum

    A while back there was a big post about how to properly upgrade your bios and he had listed every bios beta or official for download.  Anyone have that post? and What is the best bios for the K8n Neo platinum? Im still running on 1.1....

    Quote from: Supershanks on 09-June-05, 04:24:05
    Just the usual bios to bios temp tweak - no worries   
    Have been running with speedfan with a 4C offset think i can dith it now with 1.8 
    Higher or lower?
    Hmmm... My SpeedFan is running with no delta adjustments on the temps. I wonder if there is a discrepancy in what it's reporting & what it actually is after you boot into Windows
    I'd try to go by what the Hardware Monitor says, but temp's always seem to be high when you're in BIOS anyway....

  • New Bios for K8N Neo 2?

    I belong to the overlockers.com forum. People over there are dropping MSI's left and right because of stability issues and overclocking problems. This is not to mention the quirky temp readings and vcore settings. It seems that some of these issues could be addressed by a new bios. These same issues have been fixed by Epox with their bios updates. When is MSI going to get this done? I suggest it should be soov or the reputation of this board and MSI are going to ake a beating.

    Hello !
    What is going on ?
    I have tried this so called 1.52 Beta Bios on my K8N Neo2 Platinum, it flashed well but when i tried to restart my System,
    it will run for 1-2 seconds then it shuts off !!!!! No Post - Just shut off !!
    I have tried to clear the Cmos two times but there is always the same Problem. Bootblock Disc doesn´t work neither.
    What can I do ? Please help ?
    GREETZ
    OMG that could of been me. I was going to flash those yesterday.  but i got worry, and ask myself y haven't any1 post back on the forum. so i was think it could of screw up their MOBO. I was gonna post a warning about it but, it was late and i got lazy.
    I could of save your MOBO but, My laziness killed your board.
    anyway i hope u get fix. 

  • Quietest CPU Cooler for K8N Neo 2 Platinum Motherboard?

    I am just now getting around to concentrating on making my system as quiet as possible (without water cooling).
    Searching the forum and the net, I found lot of favorable comments about the Zalman 7700 cooler, but their website indicates it will not fit on the K8N Neo2 Platinum.  Has anyone actually tried to see it if fits or not?  Also if it does fit, will it work with the MSI stock backplate as I do not want to have to remove the backplate.
    Any suggestions for other CPU coolers that are quiet that are known to fit on this mb?
    Can people who have had experiences getting CPU coolers to work with this MB please post your experiences here?  If there are sufficent replies to make this thread useful, I will add it to the sticky section.
    Thanks.

  • Problem with K8N Neo 4 Platinum

    Hi I am new on this forum.
    I have problem with proper configuration of the BIOS in K8N Neo 4 Platinum. My processor is Athlon 64 3000. It has 1800 clock. My BIOS  makes default 200MHz x 5. It makes 1000 MHz clock. Will it be good if I change at 200 x 9?
    Other thing: I tried to change at 200 x 9 but in Windows (2000) is still 200 x 5 (acc. to Core Cell). When I chanded on 200 x 7,5 all in Windows was ok. Core Cell showed 200 x 7,5. How I may resolve this problem?

    I have my memory in green slots. Does dual channel works in this case?
    - No  Green = Channel A, Purple =Chanel B use Green nearest cpu & adjacent  purple slot.

    HT freq.   5x
    That's your HT multiplier as mentioned by Some1ne not the Adjust CPU Ratio which is the CPU multiplier.
    Your CPU is running at the correct speed.
    DDR Clock: 167 MHz s/be 200 - this should chnge when memory is in right slots.
    Change memory over & let's have a look @ those settings then.
    luck

    Looking for feedback on K8N Neo NF4 Platinum SLI, LUV THIS BOARD

    Im no pro but with your raid setup you need to stay with bios 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2.  I understand that 3.3 & 3.4 causes problems but the new 3.53 beta bios fixes the problems in 3.3 & 3.4.  See below:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=80933.120
    Regarding your pcie clock, if you are using coolbits and nvidia drivers only (no MSI drivers at all), then I have used nvidia's ntune to help set the clock.  For my x1 msi 6600gt, working backwards from the bus speed optimization it equalled to 106...but I am really not good at this and you should post your question under the VGA portion of this forum for a better answer to that 1 question.
    However, using MSI's DOT works well too and its automated.
    Btw, the pcie setting has nothing to do with your cpu/memory overclock.

  • BIOS Warning message : K8N Neo 2 Platinum

    A strange phenomenon with my K8N Neo 2 Platinum
    On Cold boot (and only on cold boot) My comp will hang during 30-40 seconds attempting to initialize My Optical devices (CDRW & DVD-Rom) on IDE channels (This occurs before the splash screen) Then the system will achieve POST (1 Beep from the speaker) but, here's the strange thing, bios tells me the following message : "Warning - System is now in safe mode ! Please reset overclocking features in setup"
    Well I'm very surprised by this message because I'm not overclocking : All my BIOS parameters including memory timings are set to "Fail-Safe defaults"
    Any one got an idea here ?
    A BIOS bug ?

    Weird....
    what bios version are you using.  Rather than using fail safe, have you tried tuning your system to the actual specs of your CPU and memory?  What kinda mem and CPU do you have?

  • K8N Neo 2 Platinum BIOS resetting itself

    Hello
    If I switch off the power to the power supply to say move the PC perhaps the BIOS resets to default settings. This is really annoying because it resets the date causing Windows XP to activated again...and again.....and again.....   >:(
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Specs:
    K8N Neo 2 Platinum BIOS v. 1.D
    AMD FX-55
    Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2PT 1GB
    BFG 7800GS
    WD 250GB SATA HDD
    Coolermaster Extreme Power 550W ps
    WinXP Pro w/SP2

    That fixed it 
    Thank you Sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman 

  • Is a 24 pin atx cable needed for the k8n neo 4 platinum?

    i have a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480 Watt PSU. i am thinking about upgrading from an msi k7n2 delta to the k8n neo 4 platinum motherboard.
    if i do this, do i need this adaptor cable?

    Quote from: Deathstalker on 08-June-05, 22:18:54
    ryansebiz,
    That Power Supply has the 24 Pin Cable as part of its cables. You do not need any adapters.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    thanks richard, you saved me $11 on a cable adaptor 

  • K8N Neo 4 Platinum 1.8bios any try?

    K8N Neo 4 Platinum  1.8bios  any try?
    better 1.3? 1.6? oc and stableand less bug...anyone try this?

    After using the 1.6 BIOS for quite some time (ref. to my signature) I am testing the 1.8 BIOS now for some days. It was introduced in the German MSI forum (here) some days ago and also other people already reported their first experiences:
    - works fine
    - some more options in the BIOS are available (e.g. disabling seeking for a floppy, RAID on all IDE drives + SATA drives)
    - however, only 4 memory dividers (100/133/166/200) available in 1.8 MSI final; some hidden options are available in the 1.8 MODBIOS from MurdoK (download 1.8 MOD BIOS here ) 
    - 6 memory dividers available in 7125XMOD18 BIOS thanks to MurdoK (download 1.8 XMOD BIOS here) (I have not tried this XMOD BIOS yet!)
    - does not solve the "219 BUG" for Winchester CPUs.
    - USB2.0 works fine, in contrast to some 1.7x BIOS versions
    In fact, I have not found major advantages for my rig, however, it seems to be also not worse than the 1.6 BIOS, what I used before. So I continue to stick to it!

  • K8N Neo 2 Platinum Computer just...stopped working! Help needed please.

    Hey all. About hmm, a month ago I built myself a new PC (first time I'd done it from scratch and got some useful help here) Specs were:
    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum, A64 3200+ Venice, 1GB DDR Corsair Value, Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb, 40GB Hard Disk IDE, 80GB Hard Disk IDE, CD R/RW Drive and a Tagan 420W (23A 12V+) PSU.
    Ok, it worked the day I built it just fine and has NO hick-ups or any indication of a problem for the past month. Running temperature was very cool etc. Now, I last turned it on about 24 hrs ago, downloaded some PDF files, shut it down. All was fine. Woke up this morning. Pressed the power button: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ZIp. No hum, fan movement, anything.
    Now, considering it seems to have broken whilst being turned off. What could be the problem? So far I've tried:
        * Using a different power socket
        * Using a different plug
        * Reconnecting the power switch and motherboard power connectors
    None of those worked. There wasn't a thunderstorm or anything so I don't think any kind of surge would have been the problem. I havn't tried manually shorting the power switch connectors. What's a safe way to do that? Any other suggestions? How can I test my PSU is infact doing something?
    Thanks

    Try the easy way first, disconnect every cable from the back of the computer. Do a CMOS clear/normal as instructed in the manual. Connect the display(with power off), keyboard and power cable. Turn on PSU, press power switch, if it fires up, press and go into bios and do your settings, save and exit. Power off and connect the rest of your external stuff. Power up.

    No luck :( Is it likely that my PSU has fused/broken in some way since I'm getting no response or fan movement?
