And yes SanDiego works with 1T/2T option with bios 1.9x and upwards to 1.Ax
An Alternative to 1.9 is NFM's 1.80 with 1T fixed , to be used for SanDiego rigs .

Neo 2 platinum with BIOS 1.9

hey guys,
When using the final version of BIOS 1.9 released by MSI, with the neo 2 platinum, can u select 1T/2T in the BIOS menu?!?! Im using a 3700 san diego...
BTW, does 1T/2T make an enormous difference in gaming ?? I want to flash my BIOS from 1.8 to 1.9 but to get some extra boost in gaming, but its risky because im not sure if it will give me any improvements at all.. thanks

MSI Neo 2 platinum with San Diego or Venice

Here are my results with my Neo2/3000+ Venice:
I use different apps to OC in Windows after booting with safe settings that I know work. That way if I use an app and push to far, the PC will reset with safe BIOS settings. The key for getting more vcore is to not set the first setting at anything higher than 1.45v. Setting anything after that will only result in it reading as 1.45v - as in your example, where you are setting 1.55v+10% and it only reads 1.59v...That is the same as 1.45v+10%.
What you'll need to do is install Core Center. Once installed go to Start/All Programs/Start Up, and delete it from there. That will keep it from starting everytime you restart the PC, and only run when you click on the icon. Next, boot at the highest vcore you need to, or 1.45v+10% if you need all 1.59v. Once Windows has loaded open Core Center and use the voltage options there to bump it up slowly. Both my brother and I have Neo2's and I can get 1.725v, while he can get 1.78v to work, all on BIOS v1.A...Hope this helps, good luck.
Also, if you don't have them, programs like Core Center, the A64 Tweaker, and Clock Gen are very handy and work really well when OCing. Be careful and have fun!

MSI NEO 4 Platinum with SATA Drive

I have recently built a new machine with the following specs but I am having problems with system stability in windows and was wondering whether it's because of the way I set up the hard drive.
Specs:
MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3500 Winchester
Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu
1GB Corsair XMS PC3200 RAM
Sapphire X800 XT
Sound Blaster Audigy Player
Maxtor 80GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
Maxtor 40GB IDE Hard Drive
550W PSU
I plugged my SATA drive into slot 1 and booted from the maxblast 3 CD to partition and set up the hard drive. I then installed windows 98 and upgraded to windows 2000. My system seems to be slow and laggy, though it seems mostly fine in games. When I listen to music and browse a CD at the same time the sound stutters and lags. I am getting lots of slow down when doing lots of things on the computer but it shouldn't slow down as much as it is. I am also getting windows error messages.
Is there a different way I should have installed the hard drive. I can't boot from my windows 2000 disk in dos because it's only upgrade version. I read on the forum about adding the SATA drive to a raid array before installing windows but I don't understand what this means. Can you help?
The floppy drive also doesn't seem to work so I couldn't install SATA drivers at windows setup. How can I get it working because the lead seems to be connected correctly as it gives an error message on boot up with the purple stripe the other side of the floppy drive.

I can do it with a windows XP upgrade CD surely
yes

If you have an XP upgrade CD follow the following steps.
1) Decide which HD you wish to install XP on.
If the Sata - Then turn of PC & unplug IDE Drive, this is a windows thing, as XP will see the Ide drive b4 the Sata & try to create the 1st drive as system drive. You can plug the ide back in when the install is complete.
2) Insert XP Cd. Enter Bios - Advanced bios change boot order so that CD is 1st device. or press f11 as pc posts, & select CD.
3) The PC should now boot from the XP CD.
You don't need to load any floppy drivers.
But XP will ask to see a qualifying product, put in your 2000 or 98 CD.
You should see a Hard drive Partition Setup screen - you can use this to delete any existing partition & format the drive (Don't use the quick format it's only quick cos it dont check for errors so slow & safe is best. See section How to partition and format your hard disk by using the Windows XP Setup program

MSI Neo 2 platinum with San Diego or Venice

Hey guys,
How do you guys get high clocks (2.8ghz +) using any of the bioses for MSI neo 2 platinum EXCEPT for 1.36b for Venice or san diego?.. For all the other bioses, the max vcore is 1.55V + 10%. But even at this limit, the vcore for me is only ~1.59V as detected by the bios, MBM, CPUZ and core center. So i dont know how to give my CPU more juice without using 1.36.. I dont want to use 1.36 because it doesnt support my memory controller and my computer is unstable. I want to use a newer bios that supports san diego's, but i also want high vcore to keep my computer stable at 2.9Ghz. I have used 2.9Ghz before using 1.36 bios but i need 1.4 + 15% vcore (CPUZ and MBM report 1.62V). This was stable using prime 95 for 24hours.... ne suggestions? thanks

yep BOSSK, you dont tell me to update bios.... but nothin' works... there was something wrong with voltaje control with bios 1.5 that was fixed by 1.6 version, but dont fix shutdown when burning... EXO, If I change the cpu unit and put the previous processor (AMD64 X2 3800+ everything works fine (the only trouble is when burning CD/DVDS) I limit UDMA to UDMA 2 mode with same results... I search in modd ing corner for "orthos CPU stress" & I cann't find it.... any suggestion? PSU? BAD CPU UNIT? (Enough for 3800+ but not for 5600+?)

THE RETAILER SAYS THAT PLZ DONT FLASH BACK THE BIOS AS IT WILL COMPLETELY VOID WARRANTY
I am not mistaken, damages to your mainboard due to overclocking are not really covered by warranty either. If you are really determined to overclock your system, you shouldn't really give much about which BIOS you are using. Why the sudden panic attack?

Msi neo 2 platinum 2 bios 1.8

hey guys, for bios 1.8, can we change the multiplier???? im using a 3700 san diego if it helps.. As well, how come when i change my "Max Memclock" to 166, the bios still reports my DRAM frequency to 175?!?! This 175 is located under the "Cell Manual". It is displayed at the very top with CPU frequency.

there r still issue with the sandy core - MSI r working on a fix - bios update soon we all hope

K8N Neo 2 Platinum - installing xp problem

Ok guys i just installed a new K8N neo 2 platinum with a 3200+ s939 chip. Now i ran off the xp cd and i told it to format as ntfs, it did that fine and dandy. Now after that it starts to copy windows xp files and it does that fine, now it comes to the point where it has to restart for the first time. So i restart and after i let it go past the part where it says "Hit any key to boot off cdrom" or whatever, then it comes to booting off the harddrive and it says "operating system not found"

Could the difference be because you have the neo and RC1 whereas I have the neo2 (1.4 BIOS) and RC2?
Don't think so most likely difference between destination drives, yours is a sports car, fast when it's running but quircky, mine's a transit van works even when old & abused.
Have you checked Western Digital Jumper Settings Pata & Sata even new drives have been known to have been jumpered wrongly.
Onlly other maybe relevent thing I burned my iso at x8 to try & maximise cd quality, have seen a few pps with xp64 cds they couldn't boot from on the ms 64 newsgroup. Don't know if your cd may have been slightly screwed if thats the echnical word for it

Overclocking Neo 2 Platinum

Hiya all!
I am trying to overclock Neo 2 Platinum with San Diego 3700+ and 1Gb of Corsair 3200XL Platinum... Now I can go up to about 2.75GHz at 250*11 at 2.7 vdimm and 1.68 vcore. I'm using Arctic Freezer 64 with Arctic Silver ceramique. BIOS is 1.A TCCD by Sideffect
I have a couple of questions:
1) Assuming that I would be running at 2.7GHz at 1.7v, how long my processor is likely to survive if it goes to about 60 degrees under load (S&M test).
2)I'm trying to reach 270*10, but having some trouble obtaining such high FSB (even at low multiplyers). Relaxing memory timings doesn't seem to do much good. Any idea what i can do with this? I was thinking about upping AGP frequency and AGP volt. (AGP freq at about 75 atm)
Finally can ppl with San Diego 3700+ CPU's post their top overclocks voltages, BIOS's and cooling (air cooling only). I would be most grateful, as I want to know how well can it potentially overclock... (yes I know that every chip is different).
I must say I'm quite impressed at 2.7GHz, My CPU beats stock FX 55 in benches. Games run pretty sweatly as well...

Have you tried NOT increasing your vcore voltage to keep temps down. I tried increasing mine a couple of times, but it really had little or no affect on cpu speed limit. Mine's just a 3200+ winnie, but at 10x280 using PC3200 without a divider, and the temp with vcore at 1.478v stayed under 50*C. I tried a divider, 166, cause I couldn't get passed 2800, but memory was not limiting me, it's that 2800 was as far as the processor could go and still be stable.
I always forget exact temp and voltages, but I've got a pic somewhere here....
See, I was wrong, vcore was at 1.46v and temp was at 45*C, but if I remember correctly the temp
increased to around 47*C after I was on the system for a while, but as you can see, I had the CPU
fan cranked up all the way. The TT Volcano12 sounds like a mini vacuum cleaner at 6000 rpm.

Neo 2 Platinum won't boot

MY neo 2 platinum with 3200+ is not even a month old. 3 days ago, during normal operation (just on msn and internet) i got about 5 "delayed right errors" all to my boot partition. these caused my computer to hang until it recover (?). i was frustrated so i tried to shut it down via the start menu. i came back probably 15 minutes later and the monitor still displayed "logging off windows" so just shut it off with the power button. The next morning, i fired er up. It went through POST fine, showed the Boot from CD: thing, then the screen went black, no boot at all. i poked around a bit with the power off and noticed my hard drive cables were a little loose. My raidmax power supply was being weird lately anyway, with only one of the 12V chains working correctly, so i replaced it right away with an Okia 550W. This changed nothing. In BIOS, i can see both of my harddrives, POST shows 1024 RAM. MY D-Bracket display "Testing RTC (Real Time Clock)" every time. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i have notyet tried clearing the CMOS, but will if you recommend it. From all the research i've done this seems fairly common among MSI boards. is RMA necessary?

When you stated you had delayed write errors to the boot partition, it could have been a virus, or, most likely, since the HD connectors were loose, it gradually became so loose, that improper pin contact may have caused it.
Heating and cooling causes expansion/contraction, and something loose can work it's way completely disconnected during the on/off cycles over time. It happens with RAM and VGA cards too. I have seen one instance where it actually damaged the hard drive beyond repair.
You have several options for a repair method, however, just running the repair method will not fix the master boot record. You have to use the Rcovery Console with the command prompt and use the "fixmbr" command to fix the master boot record. In most cases this will work but you may have to reload the OS from scratch. Since I always back up my data, I find it easier just to delete the partition, recreate the partition and reload the OS again on my own systems.
On a clients PC I run the fixmbr and then run a repair (if necessary), if I cannot boot, I attempt data recovery, then reload the OS as described above.
Here is a description of the Windows recovery console for reference http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314058
Here is your likely situation Computer stops responding with a black screen when you start Windows XP
It may be more than just the MBR since there is no telling exactly what caused it since there are two situations explained by the user.
1. It happened while surfing (could be virus related)
2. It was noted that the hard drive cables were loose

Neo 2 platinum no post fans run power off

Neo 2 platinum with 3500 90nm will not post. Fans run with power switch off, in fact all fans run with all front connectors disconnected. Tried barebones with only agp, cpu and memory, same thing, no post, fans run without the front power switch even connected. I saw a similar problem posted on this forum before but I cant seem to find it now.

I have the same problem. Other than that it works just fine. At this point I am not even considering it a problem anymore since I don't ever unplug the PSU.
That is about where I am at but I have gotten all sort of wierd minor happenings with my board and I wonder if they are related.
Boot up , not everything showing on desktop ..start button , icons all gone..boot up again and they are there. No problems.
Unsucessful boot up, try again and it boots up fine.
Changing values in bios produce odd behaviors...eg. run ram at 200 gets faster benches than at 225mhz.
I started OCing with this board abit too early so it could be just a poor Windows install and these are things that have happened very infrequently overall.
Once I get the PC where I want it hardware wise I am going to re-install.
Overall though my board runs really well now and I am happy with it for the most part but I will continue to try and figure out why the heck the fans spin up when the PSU if first turned on. Its obviously a MOBO issue because the PSU only does what it is told when its turned on, it cannot turn the mobo on.
Has anyone tried powering up the mobo outside of the case yet?
I was going to try this next and if it works then I will add rubber or paper spacers to the standoffs as well as to the screws.
And at that id say ive done about all I am qualified to do with the motherboard as far as diagnosis goes...I will just live with what I have unless I run into something else later on.
BTW I think I have an older board because it came in a different looking box then what I have seen everywhere else.
I also believe I had some of the false start issues that alot of people were complaining about and I am pretty sure I have worked thru them. So if you think you have a problematic board just stick with it, be patient and it might just pay off like it has for me.

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did. When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life. Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine. Start with CPU and memory?
Good 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.
