neo4 sli/platinum 7100+ 3000+venice. OC HELP

3.6 should be fine, I think, as I have not heard of any problems with it. I have not tried it because I don't have any problems with 3.5 that might be fixed by 3.6.
Configuration::
Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
MSI K8N SLI Platinum (BIOS 3.5 - also worked with 3.2 and earlier)
2 * 512mb DDR DIMM (Geil Value with 2.5 3 3 6 timings)
I have photographed a few pages in my BIOS and uploaded them here: http://www.tentonine.fast24.co.uk/msi/bios.htm
Some Geil Value RAM has worse timings than mine - if yours is not 2.5 3 3 6, then you will have to look up on the Geil website to see what all the other RAM timings should be.
If you just set your RAM to 150MHz and leave the timings on auto, it will probably not work. The BIOS detects the best timings at 150MHz, but your RAM is actually being over-clocked back to 200MHz or more, so you need to manually enter the correct settings for 200MHz.

NOT Stable overclock on K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum 3.9 MOD + Venice 3000+

Hi, to all the people that make this forum so usefull.
I´m wondering what i´m doing wrong? ??? ??? ???
I have a Venice 3000+ E3 on a K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and 1 Gb OCZ Rev2, TCCD.
I have overclocked the CPU to 9 x 290 Mhz (2610Mhz) HTT 3X, MEM 1:1 290Mhz 2.5-4-3-10 1T 2.75V.
Memory is ok at this setting on MEMTEST v1.65.
I have tried Every VCORE possible to the CPU and Nforce Chipset and can´t make it stable.
I can work on windows with this settings but some times the computer locks. >:(
If any of you in the forum have a suggestion or recomendation, please Let me Know.
For a list of complete hardware of my rig, look at the signature.
Thank for all.

I had this exact same problem, same RAM, same MOBO, with an X2 3800+.
For some reason it wouldnt overclock 1:1, and that RAM at wouldnt run at 2.5-x-x-x-1T timings (and i dont think it did 2T stable for too long either). So i was limited to either 2 or 3.
So right now I'm running my X2 at 2.55ghz and my OCZ Platinum 1gb TCCD @ 232(2-3-3-6-1T). Done so by using 183 divider at 255fsb. HTTmulti=3x
Does dual prime 95 for 10-12 hours (havnt tried for longer)
Oh also, for voltage, the RAM has 2.80-2.85, and NF4 gets 1.55-1.60v.

Confused - whats the difference between K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Diamond??

MSI web page says the Diamond has:
"Silicon Image's SATA RAID supports another 2 SATA II ports. Transfer rate is up to 300MB/s."
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=638
their Platinum page doesn't list the Silicone Image raid as a feature on the Platinum.
I have K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum and it has the Silicone Image raid - I'm using it now.
Can anyone explain this?
Another question: for both boards it shows: "NV RAID (Software) - - RAID function available for ATA133 + SATA HD drives or 2 SATA HD"
How can the Raid fuction work for ATA133 drives since the cables for SATA and PATA are different? What do the mean Raid for 133?
Thanks!!!
Tony

d/l a raid manual and all should be clear

Bios Settings For MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum MB

Hello all... Has anyone came up with the best and most stable bios settings for the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum motherboard yet. Specifically under the CPU and Memory menus.
If anyone has seen any, please post them. or post a link.
Thanks
DaaDoctor

Well that depends on the installed CPU and memory, doesnt it? So I find that question kinda odd.
One thing though: Dont use Cool n Quiet.

MSI K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum / HDD_LED Problem

Hello,
First off I would like to say that MSI boards rock! I've always been happy with them, in fact this is my fourth MSI board. The board is K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum.
Unfortunately, I'm having a problem with this one. The problem is minor, but it shouldn't happen, at least I don't think. The problem is that even though the hard drive activity wire is properly connected to HDD_LED, it is not working with my SATA drive. No light at all!
I read in newsgroups that there are people with this same problem (although not necessarily with this same board). I haven't found a solution to this yet. So my inquiry here is:
1. Is there anyone else with this exact board with a SATA drive that can confirm his/her HDD_LED light is also not working with a SATA drive?
2. Does MSI have a fix/solution for this?
Thank you.

THere is a positive and negative side on those pins have you tried flipping it over?
This has got to be one of the biggest "pains in the a&&" in setting up a new mobo and connecting it to a new case...

Does k8n neo4/sli platinum support creative 6.1 surround speakers?

I own an MSI k8n neo4/sli platinum mother board with an on-board SB live 24-bit sound chip. I have confirmed that the retail version of the sound blaster live 24-bit pci sound card will support a 6.1 speaker set up (specifically creative labs megaworks 650) with creative labs proprietary plug configuration of having front center, sub, and rear center speakers all on the same (orange) plug. The plug configuration on the back of the k8n neo4/sli platinum is color coded the same as the retail version of the sound blaster live 24-bit sound card. what I need to know is... Does the k8n neo4/sli platinum support a 6.1 surround sound speaker configuration? I can find no documentation in the literature confirming or denying this. FWIW... the creative sound card softwear that came with this motherboard will allow me to configure and test for 6.1 speakers... but I get no sound from my rear center speaker. On testing, the 5.1 speaker configuration works as it should but I am unable to test for 7.1 config as I lack a 7.1 speaker setup. I am using Version 5.12.1.356 of the creative drivers downloaded from the MSI driver support.
Thanks for your time.

Update...
Last night I noticed that, in windows sounds and audio devices_advanced speaker settings, there is no 6.1 speaker configuration option. (GO to: control panel \sounds and audio devices \sounds and audio devices properties \ volume \speaker settings advanced \advanced audio properties \speakers \speaker setup pull down menu).
I don't know if this pull down menu is generated by windows XP auto detection or the MSI/Creative drivers and .inf files that are installed for the SB 24-bit chip, but it leads me to believe that this MB does _not_ support 6.1 sound.
Can anyone else confirm that this 6.1 speaker option is present or missing in windows with:
1) This MB
2) Windows XP in general
or 3) if it is available to those that have an audigy or 6.1 compatible sound card
Once again...

:K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum bios problem

I have a strange problem with this bios, it goes back to default when you shut it down for awhile.
The date goes back to Jan 1 2004 and all settings go to default.
I've changed the battery thinking sure that was the problem, I've heard they've had some problems.
The funny thing is if you shut it down and then restart it it's ok, but if you leave it for awhile it goes
back to default. I flashed to 3.7 bios thought that might do it, but no such luck.
MSI said just get the board or bios serviced, has anyone ever got a new bios chip from MSI?
I'm trying to get this fixed without all the hassle, but it's not looking good.
I like the board everything else has went fine, I guess I could leave it running 24\7's.
When you make changes in the bios all works great, no problems except it won't hold them.

I checked the sticky's (which I should have done to start with) I see there have been a lot of
problems like this.
Most of the problems have been with the K8N Neo4 Platinum, mine is the sli platinum but the problem
seems the same.
The bios shows the new energizer I put in at 2.86.
I will try to fix this as it was a refurbished board from Newegg.
I tried the cmos button several times and it made no difference, most of the complaints were having
to change batteries every 2 to weeks.
The new battery I put in didn't last the next morning when I booted it up it was right back to default
and didn't even see the raid setup.
It only takes about 1 minute to reset it but thats a pain in the butt, as I said if you just shut it down
for a little while it saves the bios setting's fine.
I like the board, it overclocks fine if you can keep the settings.
I'm going to take the board out where I can get a good look in the batt. holder and see if I can
see anything that might short the batt.
Thanks for the reply and any other suggestions

Vista Sound problems with K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum

I wonder if anyone have gotten the sound to work under 32-Bit Vista RC1 (build 5600) on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI (MS-7100)? Installation of the, by MSI, provided XP driver (Creative_audio_32-64bit.zip) seam to work, and the device looks installed in Device Manager, but still no sound... Also, the icon for volume control in the icon trey detects that there is no sound card installed.
Anyone with a similar problem? Any solutions? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Daniel

Thanks!
I did try one of these drivers before without success. Now when I tried the old driver from nov 2005 it worked!

K8N SLI Platinum - BIOS Update

Sorry, I'm dozzy... I've since discovered that it's a 219 Mhz problem, there's a sticky in the overclocking section on how to overcome it, and it doesn't apply to me anyway, 'cause I've got a Venice...

K8N SLI PLATINUM QUESTIONS

Okay finally i overclocked a bit (i am not really in the overclocking business)
With Bios defaults settings without touching anything else i raised FSB to 220 MHz resulting to a 2.2 GHz CPU operating frequency a nice 10% overclock (of course i have disabled spread spectrum in bios) reaching that way the Athlon 64 3500+ .
Every thing seemed rock - stable!!..
However, when i tried to shut down the machine, i got a nice BSOD (Black screen of death) HDD light remained on . As far as i know the board is locking PCI-E , so graphics card and SATA drive should not causing the problem here.
So i raised the CPU core voltage up to 5% and oualla!! Rock stable ( 3 Hours Prime 95)
... did not try to rise chipset voltage or memory voltage (is set to 2.7 volts by memory SPD) since this was not necessary in my case. Might try some more overclocking in the future but right now i am happy with it and just will sit back and enjoy
There is a guy who succeeded in rising FSB to 358!!! Mhz with this board (well almost) he advices just not to enable Aggressive memory timings...
here
Anyway, Thanks for the tips guys

Yes, on the P7N SLI Platinum Bios version v1.1 it isn't there, is there another way or is there an update planned?
It is also not listed in the mainboard Bios manual.

that is even better for an air cool, by the way did you increase the memory freq manually or it was increased as you increased fsb?? ??? cheers
Once again a slight manual tweak on the FSB and Memory settings and I can now getting it stable running at 3.66Ghz (Air Cooled)
Temps 37c idle to 46c running UT3 (running for about an hour)
I'm running the Memory Voltage at 2.10v, everything is stable no problems, no crashes or BSOD,
The OCZ SLI Edition Memoryboards seems to handling it well..
Memory is clocked at 966Mhz, this seems to be the highest I can take it, any higher and Quake3 Demo locks and it says driver fault..
This seems to be the most stable overclocking setting I can reach so far..
Maybe a increase on the CPU or FSB,NB voltages might gain me a few more higher freq settings..
BIOS Settings
And from 764fps on Q3 Demo Test at 1280x1024 running at 3.54Ghz
To 796.9 fps at the same Screen Res running at 3.66Ghz

K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum and Dual Core

I just received my new MSI K8N Neo4 LSI Platinum motherboard and I am waiting on my new processor AMD Athalon64 dual core 4400+. My questions are:
1. If the bios on the motherboard is not the latest one will the motherboard boot with the dual core processor. If not what are my options?
2. If I manage to boot, and all the components are new, assuming I will boot into DOS, can I make a bios update from there or I need to install Windows and then do a bios update?
3. And what are the bios update procedures for MSI motherboards?
Thanks a lot guys for help

Quote from: Dream_true on 30-June-05, 14:02:02
hi,
In order to use dual core CPU on the MB, update BIOS to the latest version (3.4 and above) before using it. After flashing BIOS, please enter BIOS Load Optimized defaults, Save&exit it, then change CPU to dual core one.
For how to update BIOS, refer to:
http://www.msi.com.tw/html/support/bios/note/award.htm
You can use the dual core without updating the Bios. However, your second core won't work until the update. So you can use the cpu without the correct bios version to install windows.
