I reached 3Ghz easely....wohooo
do a stability tests, ensure its stable and go ahead.. probably you can push it more...
If you need help paste the last stable settings.(CPU-Z, main & memory pages, along with voltages used)

    K8N Neo4 Platinum - Overclocking Troubles - Memory Timings (2T)

    i had a similar problem at first, my system wouldnt post even at shockingly low overclocks, like 225 fsb, anyway i noticed that the 1,5 bios automatically set some strange timings for my ram, cant remember exactly what but when i went through the timings manually then i could clock up to 280 or so.  This is on 166mhz memlock, i still cant get a decent overclock using the 150 memclock or anything lower.
    Contacted MSI but the 'technical support' department, although quick to respond, seemed absolutely clueless when it comes to overclocking.

     Download and run whichever one is applicable to your OS.
     That tests entire system but you can compare overall & individual results for each CPU.
     It's fairly common for each core to run at slightly different speeds and therefore show different temps as well.
     Except for speed the specs are same for both of them but individual samples can vary slightly for voltage and such within those specs.
    Core voltage (V)   1.3 / 1.35 for both of them.

    Thanks
    You've sussed I've got problems as a beginner even on using this forum. EG I've tried to put in my computer stats but not sure they are in.
    I've read that my mainboard can as a socket 939 use the dual- Core processor X2 and up to FX 60. However according to sisandra my board is not supporting dual core. Which is right?
    Thanks
    Nope, that's false info.
    Look here for supported CPU for your mainboard:

    Hi I upgrade from opty 180 to 185. The system is stable but task manager shows that there is a different between core's loading and also there is a difference at temps (HWMonitor) for about 3-4 degrees.
    1) I have to make a format? (Win 7 64)
    2) I must update the bios?
    I have heard that the best (stable) bios the for my MOBO is (v5.0 Beta 6)
    Also I heard that some versions (bios) bottleneck.. undervolt pci-e ? Is that true?
    Thanks!

    Grimster i agree totaly with jeanguy, you need around 25-30amps min on these boards, so try a mates psu.
    Do I really need more than 18a with my system? How much money (ballpark) in US dollars do you think a adequate PSU for my rig would cost???
    I am really thinking of just takeing it back and getting it replaced with the same mobo and see if that works.

  • K8N NEO4 Platinum cold boot problem with 165 opteron?

    I have this board and have a cold boot problem with my opteron. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its starting to get very anooying.
    K8N NEO4 Platinum
    165 opty dual core
    2X1GB Ballistix PC4000
    160GB sata2
    7800GTX
    X-Fi platinum
    600 watt seasonic PSU

    Well I am running them at the rated speed of 250 and the rated timings of 3-4-4-10 on the rated 2.8 volts. Ballistix have been known to die quickly when you throw to many volts at them for some reason. I dont get the cold boot problem with the OCZ. Once I finally get it to boot with the Ballistix it works just fine but the next morning I play hell to get it to boot again. I dont even get the main screen to let me get into bios. It just stays black. I have done all kinds of stress testing and ran memtest with no problems. I am really at a loss here. 

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum, how to move MBR to sata (make it drive #1)?

    I am not sure I am phrasing the question correctly, so bear with me. I have a K8N Neo4 platinum with the SiI3114 controller and sata ports 4-8 (I believe its what they are calling PCB 1.x) with bios v1.D. I moved the board to another box and installed winXP on it. I was running it with IDE hard drives. Everything was working great but the OS was running really slow so I bought a SATA 300 mb/s drive and pluged it into SATA1 (I read about using ports 3 and 4 for raid but I do not want to use the NVraid at all, it is disabled). Then I proceeded to reinstall win XP. In the setup, I deleted the original C partiton and created one on the sata drive and rebooted so that there would be no "C" drive confusion by the winxp setup (have had that problem before and this keeps it from happening). Went through the setup and the sata was correctly reported as "C". Told windows to install itself there but it told me that it needed to write to MBR on the old c drive but that, since I had deleted the partiton, it couldn't and had to format it. So I knew that something was wrong.
    So I rebooted and disabled the ide bus that contained the old IDE drive and just left the CD ide bus enabled. WinXP installed fine with no complaints. Then it rebooted and I re-enabled the ide bus in the bios. It wouldn't boot into the partiton I just installed winxp on! To get it to boot, I had to use F11 (the bios boot menu) and select the sata drive. Went through the whole setup winXP thing and rebooted. Same problem, it wouldn't boot the sata drive. :(
    As long as that ide bus with the old ide drive is enabled, it won't boot the sata drive! I have rearranged the boot order on the bios every way possible. I opened up the box and moved that ide chain with the old ide drive to the ide2 port and put the dvd drive on ide1. I made the old drive slave and the prior slave master. That didn't fix it either. How do I tell this motherboard that the 1st drive is the sata drive? How do I tell it the MBR should be there not on the old ide drive? How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you for your replies! Hans, thank you I will give it a go again doing full formats all the way. I usually use the full format when installing winXP but I did things in a different order than you instructed so I will definately try it.
    Aicjofs, thank you, There are 3 hard drives in this system currently. There is the ide hard drive that used to be the "c" drive (a western digital 160gb ata133 7200rpm 8mb cache) and a second ide hard drive that is an extended partition with 1 logical drive with data on it (western digital 300gb ata133 7200rpm 8mb cache). Then there is a sata hard drive in sata1 port with 2 partitions one primary and one extended. The extended partion does have data on it as I moved stuff there after I got winXP up the 2nd time (western digital 250gb sata II 7200rpm 16mg cache).  Right now, I have the ide drive with data on it as ide2 master and the old "c" drive as ide2 slave and it is unformatted and contains no partion information (I deleted the partition  after I installed the SATA drive and installed winXP). XP won't boot. What happens is that, if I take the winxp cd out, it gives me a "no system" error. If I leave the WinXP cd in it boots that disk. However, if I use "f11" and choose to boot the sata drive, winxp comes up just fine. If I disable the ide bus with the two ide hard drives, it boots winxp just fine.
    Edit: bios is v1.D. It feels like this mobo is telling windows setup that the master ide drive is the first disk and to ignore everything else. It feels like if I can just tell the mobo that the sata drive is the first disk then everything will work . It is late night where I am now, and I've been fighting with this since the afternoon so I might have to goto sleep but I will be back at it tomorrow and will go though what Hans instructed. If anyone has any otehr ideas, I'd really appreciate that as well.

  • Please Help K8N Neo4 Platinum won't boot?

    Hello,
     I could use your expertise in this matter. I have built several systems and never seen this before. My system will not boot with the hard drive
    and/or DVD drive attached. It will boot with just the 1.44 floppy attached. My system is as follows:

    Thanks
    Tony

    All that info and I still don't know where you are plugging them in.     SATA or IDE(PATA)? Both?
    Can you describe the not booting a little more?  i.e.  No video at all, you see POST but it doesn't complete, POST completes but you can't boot an OS. 

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum not booting

    Hi I just moved my fully working K8N Neo4 Platinum based setup from one case to another, and now it's not booting. All fans are starting but the USB D-bracket 2 shows LED's 1 and 4 yellow and 2 and 3 red and the computer hangs. I can't seem to find this LED combination in the manual where it's only supposed to show green and red lights. Anyone got any idea of what's wrong?
    Thanks

    Okay I'll try to be more specific, the thing that makes me clueless is that the rig has been working flawlessly before.
    CPU/Memory:
    AMD Athlon64 Venice 90nm 3500+ 2.2GHz
    2x512 MB OCZ DDR PC-4000 Gold VX (500 Mhz, 2-2-2-8)
    I've tried unmounting every single component and mounting it back on again. I've tried both memory sticks in a single slot but no luck.
    The PSU it's been running on is an Antec True380SP 380W (included in Antec Sonata case), yes 380W is a bit low so i tried a beefier PSU as well (Antec True430P 430W) with the same result.
    Max Amperage:
    Antec True430P 430W -- +3.3V = 28A, +5V = 36A, +12V = 20A
    Antec True380SP 380W -- +3.3V = 28A, +5V = 35A, +12V = 24A
    HDD:
    Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD 74Gb 10000rpm 16Mb cache SATA connected to SATA1
    All fans power up, Power LED lights up and HDD powers up, but no VGA signal. I've reset CMOS and I've read through the stickies and tried the fixes there applicable to my problems, but no luck so far. Only thing I can think of that haven't tried is switching the CMOS battery.

  • MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI sound needs -5V; newest Antec 550W has no -5V rail

    I came within a whisker of ordering a non-returnable  3700 Venice, MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo and an upgraded Power Supply, Antec's newest 550W PS the TP2-550 EPS12V ($117).  This has dual 2x24pin 12V 19A rails and is touted as the new V2.0 EPS12V/ATX12v compatible power supply for high performance SLI systems.  By accident I came across a page at MSI for this mobo
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=641
    At the end is this warning:  MSI Reminds You...
    • For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply. Also, the users manual which I downloaded on Pg 2-10 says the same thing
    The above Antec PS specs do not  show a -5V rail, nor does an Enermax 600W I looked at.  The V2.0 specs for ATX12v which added 2x24pin 12V rails dropped -5V rail from the spec and it appears MSI is not conforming to the spec (See Antec response at end) None of the web sites selling these PS & mobos contain any warning.  I vaguely recall from a forum a while back it may have something to do with the Soundblaster system in the mobo.
    http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22551 (click specifications)
    Isn't this a major showstopper which is going to cause a lot of grief for those of us upgrading to SLI systems using this mobo and upgrading our PS to the newest & best power design?  We won't know the PS won't work until we build the system.
    Regards, Ron
    Antec reply to me:
    >>>>Thanks for the link. Since MSI's website does state the motherboard needs the -5v, the True550EPS12V will not work with this motherboard. The Standard (http://enhanceusa.com/documents/atx12v_v2.01.pdf) has removed the use for the -5v rail and it is no longer needed. MSI has not manufactured that motherboard to the Standard. Finding an ATX12V v2.0 power supply with the -5v might be hard to find. You should contact MSI for a compatibility list of power supplys that were tested to work with the K8N SLI Platinum.

    Wow!!  syar2003 thanks for that post.  I've spend an hour going through it &  fasteddies links.  Now I are a power expert.  The dual rail argument is enough for me to go back to the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI with one of the single rail PS -5V units listed by fasteddie. The only question left now refers to computerpro3  recommendation on ultra power supplies for SLI 
    >>I quite simply wouldn't dream of putting anything else in my machine. Keep in mind, this section is for 2x 6800 models, not the 6600's which most any good psu will handle (like Antec Neopower, ocz 520, etc). . Pc Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe SLI edition (refer to list)
    2. Zippy/Emacs 550-700w models
    3. OCZ 600w (personally I would get the pcp&c for the price, but it's been proven here, so I'll be fair...). 
    These are really high end, expensive and only 3-4 choices. Since I'm getting one 6800GT and eventually another & possibly eventually a 4800 X2, I was hoping the OCZ 520W would do it but computerpro3 says Powermaster 520 isn't good enough for SLI.  I found that there is an OCZ 600W ATX12 dual rail which surprisingly has a -5V rail needed for K8N Neo4 SLI Soundblaster.  Will this meet computerpro3's preference for a high end PS for SLI systems even though I'm losing the 1 rail advantage.  Maybe the 600 Watts just overwhelms the 1 rail/2 rail question.
    Thanks again for the teriffic help
    Regards, Ron
    Wondering what you settled on.  I got the Antec TP550 and it's flawless on the board.  I even have the older 20pin model which works perfectly (including sound).  If you really wanted what I would consider to be a top dog (pcpower and cooling), and find the -5v rail missing, all you have to do is place a phone order and request they add a -5v rail.  It's a minimal cost and a total solution for having everything.  Just my $0.02

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum random lock-ups and BSOD

    I built a new PC about 3 months ago and from day 1 it has always locked up / frozen at random intervals. Sometimes it also BSOD's with a Machine Check Exception. Seems to lock up / freeze more often when have multifple windows open eg. Multiple IE running but really is random. I have replaced the Mobo and Ram but keep having the same issues. Have tried a clean install but no luck either. Did a clean install on an old IDE HDD and seemed fine but it did not have all of the software that I run on the SATA drive. Thinking the SATA drive may be the issue? Please Help!!!

    Seemed fine?
    There isn't really be any difference between an IDE drive and a sata.
    Except that the sata drive needs some drivers as your installing the os.
    Check your ram timings in bios but likely it's your psu.
    Which components are on which rail?
    The ones that use the +12v are your cpu,cdrom,dvdrom and graphics card.
    Try disconnecting both roms and see if it improves things?

  • How are some guys running an Athlon 3800+ X2 chip on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI?

    I see many people running an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2 Dual Core proccessor on a K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI board, but mine dosen't work.  I don't get any signal to my monitor (don't know if this is the cause).  MSI says the 3800+X2 dosen't support the SLI board, but many people got it to work.  Any one know how?

    Mine working fine, but on cold boot, sometime it hang on me. I have changed 3 PSU to get it stable, from Coolermaster 450W, Be Quiet 520W to Silverstone 650W, ambient 25C, CPU 30C, Proc 37C.
    Bios 3.7 the one they are still testing.
    Have you check you PSU rails volt., disable CnQ,....
    So far stable, multiple programs at once with no significant drop in responseness & speed,  Half Life 2, P2P downloading x2, IE x 3, encode DVD at the same time.
