Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

hiya nocturnal
1st in Integrated Peripherals / IDE Function Setup....disable sata1/sata2 dma transfer and enable sata3/sata4 dma transfer...sata 3 is top on left side of board one closest to cpu.
2nd ... Cell Menu / DRAM configuration is where you set memory timing 1T/2T
3rd...Cell Menu / AGP Frequency ..set it to 67
just My 2 cents but why don't you take Everything back to stock (cpu & vid card) , Do the above and see if it will boot. the biggest problem you have (my opinion) is your memory...you do not state if it is pc3200/400 ...if it is go 200 Max Memclock (step 2, 1st option)
set the CAS settings to stock..see if you can boot to windows, then and only then go Play as in see what your sandie will do with that memory..Leave your vid card stock until you get a stable windows enviorment...also if you do shift F2 ..alt F3 it opens up other settings within our bios
I believe you will be upgrading your memory real soon if ya got the o/c bug
Hope this helps
ps...by the way what type of power supply do you have ?

Don't listen to anyone here but Stick. He gave the best advice.
Now, it might be a good idea to flash to a newer BIOS. If you have a Winnie or Venice, then v1.5 should be fine and was the one I used for a long time. The next move is to make sure your SATA drive(s) are plugged into ports 3 and 4, because ports 1 and 2 are not locked and will hinder your OC's and could lead to disc corruption and/or a borked OS.
You dropped the HTT multi to 4x, good move. That caused me a bunch of headaches at first. The next move is drop the RAM to the 166 divider. Don't drop your timings to 2.5,5,5,7 (this isn't DDR2), it is unecessary. Simply drop the RAM to the 166 divider and increase the HTT to 240Mhz. That will put your RAM at about 200Mhz, or its rated speed, while OCing the CPU to 2xxxMhz. This will rule the RAM out as a possible cause for your problem. Once the RAM is out of the way, work on the CPU.
Depending on what type of chip you have, and how well it OC's, you may or may not have to increase the vcore. I have a 3000+ Venice that will do 2500Mhz with the stock 1.376v, and a 146 Opty(San Diego) that will do 2750Mhz with the stock vcore of 1.376v. It all depends on the chip at this point. If it doesn't post, or boot, increase the vcore one bump. If that doesn't do it, then bump it again. I would go no higher than 1.5v to reach 2400 - 2600Mhz though...
Once the you have it running at a speed you are happy with, and have tested it for stabilty, you can then move on to playing with the RAM and its timings. For now though I would worry more about getting the CPU where I'd want it then the RAM.
The Neo2 is probably one of THE best s939 AGP boards out there, and they are capable of some really sick stuff...Keep trying, be patient, and good luck.
LOL...It's user to user forum so why not you listen to others people advice?

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126513.0

OK guys, just a little update. My OC is now showing up in Windows and is now making a difference in my benchmark scores. All I had to do was drop the multi to 8 and then up the fsb to 1600 (for 3.2 ghz) and it booted normally. It's passed prime for 8 hours now, so I have no reason to believe its not stable.
Still not sure why my OC wouldn't work in windows until I dropped my multi tho, any suggestions?
Only thing I can guess is that the OC wasn't stable at that fsb (fsb hole), resulting in a failed OC. After dropping the multi, I added some Vcore and upped the FSB voltage a bit, and voila!
Headed for 3.4 GHZ tonight =D

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

SATA DVD RW issues with K8N Platinum

Hi
I have MSI K8N,(939-pin) Platinum-SLI, Mother Board (AMD 3200+, 1.25GB RAM, 80GB SATA HDD).
On my system I am facing trouble with SATA DVD- Writer (Samsung's 22x, S-223F/IDBH), as it can read all supported disks but unfortunately it is unable to write/burn CD/DVD in any format since I purchased this DVD writer . Surprisingly this very same DVD writer works perfectly with any other Intel's machine for both reading & writing functions.
"However the DVD writer with IDE cable works fine on my system without any change or any exclusive setting anywhere."
Following measures I have tried but failed to burn any disk with my SATA DVD writer
1. Reseted the BIOS to default/reset to factory setting.
a) Verified that both of the SATA controller were enabled.
b) Verified that RAID was Disabled.
2. Swaped & connected the DVD writer SATA cable to the port in which the HDD SATA cable was plugged in.
3. Repleced the complete DVD writer from Samsung Service Center.
4. Updated the Nero from 7.X to 8.X on the system
5. Tried to burn disks with other freeware disk burning tools. (e.g. "Burn Plus", "Burn free" etc).
6. No other Optical drive was attached.
7. Updated the firmware of DVD writer from samsung's service center.
In all the cases of attempting to burn disks, I found either of the following errors
Error Message 1
Invalid block address
Invalid write state
Could not perform EndTrack
Burn process failed
****************** OR *****************************
Error Message 2
Invalid block address
Writing short lead-out
Session fixation error
Burn process failed
Kindly help me to resolve the issue. :(
Thanks

You didn't mention if the DVD drive showed up in your bios. Look in "Standard CMOS Features" , you should have a list of all devices attached to the ide and sata ports.
you said the drive will play music, is the sound analog (through the small sound cable connected between JCD1 on your motherboard to the DVD drive, or are you getting sound digital (sound signal coming from the DVD through the sata cable)?
Is this a replacement DVD player, an upgrade from a CD player, or a brand new install?
Which Operating System are you using? In the past, I have had cd/dvd drives that some how got set up in the os only to play music and would not read or write data discs.
I fixed the problem by removing the cd/dvd drivers from the system and reinstalling.
I am using or have used LG, Sony, and Aopen BD/DVD/CD drives on this motherboard (K8N Neo2 Platinum).
"Ya Scottike , following are my observations
1. I 'm able to see all connected drives connected through sata ports (i.e. HDD & this DVD Writer) in BIOS under "Standard CMOS Features".
2. This DVD Writer is absolutely working fine for all reading functionality.
(It plays music are you getting sound digital (sound signal coming from the DVD through the sata cable)).
3. No Other Optical Drive is attached.
4. Currently Windows Vista Ultimate is installed.
Note: I have also tried with Windows XP + SP2 earlier on my system, its gives same error whenever tried to
burn any disk with this DVD writer.
5. This is a brand new DVD writer.
Hope I have answered all your queries. Please let me know what can I do to solve my purpose.
Thanks

No Power With Neo2 Platinum

I posted this problem earlier, and somehow it double-posted. Now the posts are gone, so I will try again.
I just bought a Neo2 Platinum today, but I cannot get any power to it. I have made sure the power button connection is good; I have replaced the power supply; I have pulled everything out of the motherboard except for the CPU. Still can't get the thing to power on. What can be the problem?

Thanks for the psu details. it would do no harm to post the rest Graphic card drives CPU. Add them to your signature then there there every time you post, saves a lot of re-typing. You can even get them looking better than rollercam's .(RC - It seems shorter now what u altered)
yes your psu is low on the 12v rail & may cause issues down the road. but should at least turm over the fans.
assume
Quote
for now check:-1) CPU Fan cable is connected to motherboard CPUFan1
2) 4pin 12v Cable from PSU is connected to Mobo (clip aligns correctly with mobo)
3) 20pin cradle connecter is aligned & seated properly.
4) case power connectors are properly connected to mobo JFP1 & JFP2 see page 31 of manual.
Checked out ok.
If you have any front panel usb/fireware leads from your case unplug thenm, the connectors may not be compatable & may be shorting.
If still nothing
Then try taking mobo out of case in case there's a short somewhere.
Mount mobo on a piece of cardboard, the tray from the mobo box is ideal, or a wodden table. mount just memory try 1 module only 1st in slot 1, graphics card, plug in 12v 4 pin & 20pin cradle. Connect case power switch.
this option also gives you chance to recheck the risers that your mobo rests on make sure there are no extra ones, should be 9, & check that these align with mobo screw holes.
Also check that the backplate for the mobo back panel clips securely in case. If loose it's been known to make contact with pors/mobo & produce shorts.
Whilst board is out of case you might also check cpu is mounted correctly.

Overclocking issue with P7N SLI

Hey guys, first time I've posted since I got my board, because I have had zero issues with it. But that, unfortunately, was at stock settings. The minute i overclocked the board, I loved its stability. A Q6600 to 3.0 GHZ on stock voltage and auto everything! However, I have run into a problem...
When I boot up with a 1420 FSB, I get a clock speed of 3.19GHZ in the POST info, and it loads windows (Vista 32bit) instantly, no problems. However, all of my applications (CPUZ, windows system properties,, etc) show me at 3.0GHZ still. I have run benchmarks between 3.0 and 3.2 and I see no variation in points, at all. I'm booting into windows fine with is overclock, but windows is not accepting and applying it!
Any info that anyone can give would be much appreciated. FYI, I am running the current 2.1 bios from this site, actually the board came with said bios installed. Thanking you all in advance...

Cooler compatibility with Neo2 Platinum

Hello,
Would anyone know if the Thermaltake Mini Typhoon CPU Cooler, CL-P0268, is compatible with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard? Isn't it too heavy for that mobo?
Also, would anyone recommend Zalman CNPS 9500 led for the same mobo?
Any other recommendation?
Thank you in advance,
Jose

Go for the Zalman, its much better than the Mini Typhoon. It will cause no problems with your motherboard.

well everything i wrote was based on the guys serial number reading ability. ill live with 2800 mhz. thanks anyway
That's all fine and good, but not always the case. Sure, some batches/runs are better than others, and some weeks of production are just good clockers, but it is hard to tell what ANY chip will do just by looking at the markings on it. Getting 3G on stock vcore would be almost unheard of - unless the chip was made to run at 3G of course. 2800Mhz isn't too bad and exactly what I run on my Brisbane 24/7.
The only real way to know what any chip will do, IMO, is to buy from someone who has abused already tried it

MOVED: Overclocking e8400 with P7n 750i SLI Platinum

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124268.0

Hi there,
The CPU multiplier is indeed locked at 9 (at least it won't go any higher). As you mentioned, the cpu clock is your FSB X multiplier. In your case, 333X9.
So, when one cannot change the multiplier, we instead change the bus speed. You need to increase the FSB speed. Beware that this will also change your memory speed, so depending on the ram spec and fsb:ram ratio, it may be running overclocked.
Generally you can achieve a small overclock by merely adjusting the FSB. To get a larger, stable overclock you will inevitably need to increase your voltages. There are a few guides on how to do this stickied in this forum. I recommend reading them and doing some research before you start any voltage changes.

MOVED: Weird USB & overclocking issues with Z97 Gaming 7 board

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252886.0

Yes, well partly at least:
- found my USB ports to work after I enabled all the options there were in bios (that's a start!)
- found USB sticks to work normally after uninstalling the USB port drivers (ASMedia)
So far, so good at least.
Then I remembered my short "voyage" with a Z87 board. Simply entering numbers seems to work. I like the idea as it keeps total newbies away, but I hate it for not seeing any kind of range.
Especially now, as the platform is totally new to me, and even the default values show up in bright red when I enter them manually. No sort of documentation to be found in the manual, so I hope I'll stumble across something like a "MSI-specific" OC tutorial (most of them seem to concentrate on Asus and Asrock, as usual).
Thanks for trying to help though I couldn't find a button to delete the topic so I thought locking it would be a good alternative.
PS: I'm on Win 8.1 now, which updated my previous Win 8 installation, and it's running fine now. Using things like "show hidden devices" & uninstalling old drivers has helped me to keep my installations for quite some time normally. Often across various platforms even (used to be far more years ago as I don't upgrade as much anymore).

Overclocking 3500+ with neo2 plat

hey
I have a problem overclocking my system:
Amd 64 3500+ Winchester 90 nm
MSI K8N Neo2 Platnium
Crucial Ballistix pc4000 2x 512 mb(DDR 500)
Zalman CNPS 7000B-C CPU Cooler (I got the backplate out by pushing :D )
ATi Radeon 9800 Pro@XT
NorthQ 4001 400W PowerSupply
When I enter the BIOS -> Cell Menu, and I change the CPU Clock from 200 - 210 (my RAM supports at least 250), and I save the setting it reboots twice and it gives me a text right after it checkes IDE:
The mainboard is in safe mode:
Please set your overclocking settings back to normal!
Why won't it overclock? Isn't there a guide for clocking the K8N neo2? The BIOS cell menu is quite good i think :D
My CPU temp is 35 and system is 25..

So my advice is to leave the bios at normal settings and try using windows tools to find the limits of your overlocking. After reading the FAQ's I decided to use Clockgen to test overclocking settings, happy in the knowldege that when I locked up my system a reboot would use normal settings.
"Power Up with Insert pressed" works at least on my Neo2. Just figured out it yesterday when I could not the comp boot (see my voltage topic) and had to clear cmos every time with jumper hulabalooo. Then I tryed Insert procedure and it worked and today I have had some boot issues when searching the fastest combination and EVERY time the Insert key has gotten me to safe mode when the comp would otherwise not boot/post to end +++++ / +++++ !
That's great. I still think overclocking via windows is the way to go. I bet you've heard of people achieving POST and then crashing on loading windows? Also we don't need super fast systems all the time, so why not overclock only when we need too? Seems like me one way of being "green" without giving up on a western lifestyle!

i want to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram, is that possible with this motherboard??
for example: 333Mhz cpu and stay at 800Mhz for ram
the cpuz is reading actually 379 (i cant remember the exact value, but is around this) for ram when i have set to manual 667 why this happen??? (the cpu is at 300)
The memory speeds you can select are not absolute but FSB:RAM dividers
533Mhz equals the 1:1 divider
667Mhz equals the 4:5 divider
800Mhz equals the 2:3 divider
This means if you select 667Mhz RAM in bios you don't force 667Mhz but you select a FSB:RAM ratio of 4:5
At stock FSB of 266Mhz this makes : 266 / 4 = 66.5 * 5 = 333 Mhz (666 Mhz DDR) wich is the 667Mhz you select.
However, if you change FSB the RAM speed changes along with it.
So, for your 300Mhz this makes : 300 / 4 = 75 * 5 = 375 Mhz wich is +- the 379 Mhz cpuZ reads.
If you want 333Mhz fsb and ram @ 800 select 667Mhz RAM in bios and set FSB to 333Mhz, also enter RAM timings manually.
This will result in 333 / 4 = 83.25 * 5 = 416 Mhz (832 Mhz DDR) for ram - The gskill should be able to take this mild 32Mhz overclock.
The board might not make it to 333Mhz tho - It's a budget board wich overclocks poorly.
