thanks for the help..
i thought it was always like this
thats why i was concerned about
that is running memory into single channel.
you need to use DIMM1 & DIMM2 like Hans said to use Dual Channel.

MOVED: K8N Diamond Plus Motherboard overclocking problem.

I know this board can reach 300+ by reviews by Tom's Hardware. But I was wondering how I could get my FSB up there? I can't seem to get past the hurtle at 270. Anything above this will make the system fail to start up and I have to clear the BIOS again.
I lowered the HT to the equivalent of 3X, and CPU Multiplier to 8X using a venice core 3500+. I even tried adding voltage to the HT. I'm wondering if I'm missing something in this equation that stops me from getting 300+ FSB? The overclockable items are too many and unexplained.
If someone could spread some light on what else needs to be done, please tell me.
My system is as follows.
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
AMD64 3500+ Venice
OCZ DDR600 Platinum Elite
520 OCZ Powerstream
2x Samsung 200G@Raid 0
Zalman CNPS 9500 LED
Sapphire GTO2
Hi dude,
I have the similar problem as well. Sounds like you are in the bad shape, but yeah, try to loose your RAM settings. First, all settings auto seem to be good, but it's actually not the case. You have to set TRC and TRFC as higher than 12 and 14. I am seeting those to be 14, 18, and it seems to be working great. It will be better to set the burst length as 4 beats. I don't like this board coz I can't set the drive length to be weak instead of normal detected by the Windows. My system can post, but I got problems of playing 3D demos and games, which looks like it's the problem of motherboard. Not mature enough.
My rig:
AMD Athlon64 3700+ @ 2.7GHz
OCZ Platinum Elite DDR600 2.5-4-4-10 Dual Channel
Leadtek PX6800GT @ 425/1200 at 2nd PCIe slot
2 x WD 120GB 7200RPM + Samsung 160GB HD

K8N Diamond Plus + Vista upgrade issues + Memory

When I go to install Vista Business , I receive an error before the install saying that my motherboard is Non-ACPI compliant. I went into the bios and and made sure that all ACPI settings were turned on. Also I installed 2 more gigs about a month ago and only see 3 gigs on post instead of the 4 that is installed. I tried to update my BIOS using the MSI utility but received a memory error saying it can detect the correct amount. I ran MEMtest and it passed .Here are my system specs:
K8n Diamond Plus - Bios ver 1.0
AMD Ath 64 x2 4800 toledo
4 gigs of Corsair XMS DDR433 3500LLPRO
2 x EVGA 7950 GT KO Superclocked 512mb
WD Raptor 74 ( OS)
WD SE16 320 gb (storage)

I have the same motherboard with 4GB Ram. I had to enable the memory hole in the memory configuration of the bios for it to see the full 4GB. However, Windows 32-bit will not show the full 4GB ram since 32-bit addressing limit is 4GB and all your peripherals have to be included like vid card memory, etc. So don't beat your head against your desk once you get your bios seeing the 4GB and Windows 32-bit doesn't. My Vista gives 2.8GB ram of my 4GB, some get more, but I know I have two video cards with 768MB ram also. I'm using 1.2 bios.
Incidently, I ordered an OEM Vista X64, it will be interesting to see if it sees all my memory since 64-bit can go up to enormous addressing ranges.
Good Luck

K8N Diamond Plus Power Supply Issue?????

I just recently got my pc functional. I am getting an error from the nvidia software about the power supply. I am running a 600W supply. This machine has 2 western digital 250g hard drives, 1 western digital 500g hard drive, 2 nvidia 7900 gtx w/512mb single gpu graphics cards, 1 floppy drive, 1 dvd-cdrw burner, 1 13-n-1 media reader, case has 2 - 120mm fans, 1 cpu fan, 1 nb fan, built in sound blaster audigy, about 8 usb 2.0 ports, a couple of firewire ports. The mobo is the K8N Diamond Plus MSI board. The nvidia software keeps telling me that the video cards aren't getting enough juice. With 600w is this possible? The power supply is made by Ultra. Any insite would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

Did you connect the pci-express connectors from your power supply to the connectors on the video cards? If your power supply is indeed not sufficient then take a look at this one. It will easily handle your system..

Because the CPU can't do it at full speed.
Better run with the 2x1GB sticks only, less trouble.

K8N Diamond Plus (another sound issue)

When using any 2 programs at the same time that binds the microphone (directly, through default windows settings, or directx) the microphone will at random intervals and in no particular order stop receive actual voice and produce only high pitch static. This problem is resolved ~75% of the time by restarting the app and occurs most often between Ventrilo and games. I've tried updating the drivers through MSI and Creative to no avail.
Currently using: Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit, DR release 1.4.55
Not sure why, but Creative doesn't recognize the chipset as Audigy SE

Hello !!
Open the sound icon in taskbar, and select the microphone as recording device on the right. Now you see a small rec cross right over the volume slider from rcording device, click it and select the option you see.

K8N Diamond Plus Installation CD Issues

Any ideas why the driver page of the installation CD would show blank when I try to use it? The utilities page seems to be working ok, but not the drivers. Appreciate any response.

jimbearsfan1,
I need you to go to the Kitchen, pour an ice cold drink, go to your computer. Get the CD out and put it on the desk. Then take a sip of your drink and place it on top of the CD. That is the only thing a Driver CD that comes with any hardware are good for.
Now while you are enjoying you drink, install the latest nVidia nForce Drivers
If you want the Drivers for your Onboard Audio, get them from the Creative Website.
Take Care,
Richard

K8N Diamond Plus & Asus EN7800GT Dual ?

Howdy!
Bought one of the Asus Dual 7800GT graphics cards (two GPUs on one board) and was using it with the Asus SLIx16 mobo, the A8N32-Sli. Problem with using that motherboard is that the card only worked properly on the bottom PCIe socket (furthest from the CPU) - when using it in the top PCIe socket, only one of the two GPUs registered in Device Manager.
I figured I'd switch over to the K8N Diamond Plus and see if that works better (I'm only considering SLIx16 mobos, as my plan is to get another of these cards later on and experiment with Quad GPUs, hence the need for the extra PCI lanes) - has anyone tried this motherboard with the Asus card?

Quote from: pibrahim on 25-January-06, 21:46:50
That's very odd, that MSI boards work so differently from Asus.
Problem is that the dual-GPU card won't work properly in the top slot and I really needed it to be in the bottom. Not sure what exactly I can do about that now...
Toms hardware did a review on this.
The card shows up in the primary slot as 1 gpu, then you add a second card it shows up as a 3 gpu system. THe first card says 1 gpu, but operates as a two gpu.
Look up the card on new egg, there is a link to the reviews of it some where in there.

Anoying issue with K8N Diamond PLUS and overclocking.

I just got the motherboard wehn i overclock and restart the PC either from windows or BIOS etc. The PC will not boot and have to turn it off then turn back on. Apart from this annoying issue it's a great board better theen my A8N SLi Premium mostly due to the extra CPU voltage yay :D Is anyone else getting this issue?
System spcs are
AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ @ 2766MHz (1.6v)
2GB Crucial Tracer PC4000
2x DELL Slient Geforce 7800GTX 256MB card
Espison 700w SLi cert PSU with EPS CPU voltage connected
Koolance EXOS AI Watercooling
MSi K8N Diamond PLUS
2x 150GB Raptor X in RAID-0
Coolermaser RC-830 w/ 4x 140mm + 3x 120mm fans

thats funny mine did that when i first got it , but when i received my new memory and video card everything was normal...so i dont remember if it was the memory or the VC..i just totally forgot about it..funny though i thought it was only me

K8N Diamond Plus - ram issue

Ok, I just got this board and some bran new Corsair ram to go with it. The problem is the ram will not do 1/1 clocking. It will only do 5/6 and reads it as 333 ram, which it is not. I tried to change it in the bios manually but it will not go above 5/6 clocking. So at 222FSB I am only running the ram at 185MHz. Here is my system specs.
MSI K8N Diamond Plus - Athlon XP64 3200+
Corsair TwinX 2048-3500LLPRO (2x 1gig PC3500)
OCZ 600w PSU
Does anyone have any ideas how I might be able to accomplish running the ram at 1/1 speed? Is there some bios update that I'm not aware of (the live update says there isn't any)?
Thank you!

Hi,
I think you might need to use banks 1 and 2 to get the 128bit contoller working, otherwise you will be stuck with the 64 bit single channel mode.
Not sure what's up with the 4 banks full though for Latin.
A possible fix could be to reduce the HT multi?
I assume that you all know that Corsair default ram Voltage is 2.75v, and MSI is known for only giving 2.5 to 2.6v. Try manually setting 2.75 or even 2.8v and see if that helps.
K6dude
Thank you for the help... I just found the entry in the User's Guide on page 2-7. I followed the instructions of using banks 1 and 2, my computer would not boot. I used banks 3 and 4, like what was also shown on the table, my computer would not boot at all. As far as the voltage goes, I have it set at 3.0 volts so there's plenty of power.
On every configuration I have tried I am watching the LED lights on the ram and they are getting power on the bootup just fine, I hear my hard drives spin up, all fans spin up just fine, but monitors don't turn on. For some reason, it's just not reading the ram right. The only way it boots up is with the sticks in 1 and 3 slot. Any ideas?

K8N Diamond Plus shutdown issue

I am running the K8N Diamond Plus with bios 1.2
3500+ <stock ghz>
2x1gb corsair
1 74gb raptor
1 7900GT 256
2 samsung dvd burners
OCZ520ADJSLI powersupply
2 case fans
Recently, my powersupply went out and i ordered a new one.. same model...when i hooked it up and turned on the computer, Windows loaded, i logged and shortly after i logged in, the computer shutdown... like, no blue screen, no reboot... it just turned off like it was shuttingdown or someone pulled the power cord.
confused, i hit the power button and the computer turned back on, but this time, it barely made it to the login screen and it shut off again.. each time, i would turn it on, it would shut off sooner than the previsous time. so i stripped everything out.. no fans, no hd, do dvds, different ram, same cpu, same vid card. This time i just booted to the bios. at 30 seconds it turned off. i turned it back on. at 23 seconds it shut off, i turned it back on. at 15 seconds it shut off, i turned it back on... it got to the point that as soon as i would hit the power button, it would shut off...
thinking that i could of possible received a bad power supply, i hooked it up to a different mother board. this system did not shut off.
any ideas on what could be going on? unfortunatly at this time i do not have another power supply to test on this board. I will pick one up if people think the power supply could be the problem.
thanks in advance!!

hello, sound like a bad new psu to me did you plug in both mobo connectors? do you have a volt meter to ck psu outputs might try that. another psu would be the next thing to try. good luck Henry

K8N Diamond Plus, Line-In & AVerMedia Studio .103

Hello,
I got K8N Diamond Plus and AVerMedia Studio .103 audio out connected to my onboard sound device's (Audigy) Line-in. I don't know how to describe the situation but I'll try. The problem is that the captured audio is some kind of wavey like an old "record", the sound is cry-like especially when there's a music in the background.
It is really annoying to have such a problem with this kind of expensive product. I'm sure it's not TV Card related because I use it for 5 years now with the same OS, Application, Drivers and cable. The day I upgraded my system I met this trouble. I've searched for driver updates, chipset updates related to this issue but couldn't find any. I tried every possible option/configuration with the sound card and no hope.
I think it is because that the line-in is also used as an output with the 4 speaker configuration. Every passed day with this issue I add spoilt videos to my archive and this upsets me.
Thanks for your help and concerns
Yours respectfully
M. Erke Tiryakioglu

The line-in only has dual fuction in 8 speaker sw config (7+1) .
With 5.1 and lower the numbered jack #1 is only having line-in config.
Make sure you have correct Multi-Channel Audio Function mode properly selected in the software
utility for your speaker connections/configurations.
And use the Creative web update to have the laterst drivers and software .
First of all thanks to all of you guys...
Secondly, I was just trying to point out that may be the dual-function support (doesn't matter when) is doing this...
And yes I am using windows XP as it says in my signature, but thats not an issue since i used this card (AverMedia) with XP pro for four years with no problem.... I can't say anything about the dual-core tho...
BTW I tried to manually update the audigy from creative's web site, but couldn't be sure if I had to download the Audigy drivers or should I use MSI's web site for my sound device, since it's on board? Or is there a version in the Creative web site to, or even the audigy drivers itself may be? Do you have any suggestions? MSI doesn't have an update tho I know that..
