Riser Card for K8D Master-FT (Rackmount)

There are extra cables there to supply power, You will need to break out a solder kit and hook them up to a molex connector (which is a fairly easy to do).

Please recommend a right-angled PCI-e 16x riser card/cable for a Media Live

The IGP in my Media Live is not running properly, or nVidia's drivers for it are just crap (more likely, I guess), so I need to fit a dedicated video card. The riser fitted for the supplied Hauppage WinTV card is for a PCI slot... I have Aero turned off, which ameliorates teh problem but some windows/applications still don't render properly.
I am having trouble finding a suitable riser card for a PCI-e 16x slot though. The main problem is that the 16x slot is not directly underneath the mounting points for the riser card, which means I need a riser with a flexible cable. Secondly it needs to be right angled and thirdly the slot needs to lie lower than the mounting holes. Most every riser card I've seen has the slot level with or above the mounting holes, however this would not work in the Media Live case.
In a pinch, I guess I could live with a PCI graphics card... but are there ANY modern PCI graphics cards????
So is there a recommended riser card I should use, or am I stuck?

CPU in and running fine. No issues so far, although I haven't run it under load yet.
My Titan heatsink was a tricky fit, the heatpipes are literally touching the RAM heatsinks (though not pressing against them) and the holes in the motherboard were on the large side. Installation instructions were ok but parts bags mislabled! And the supplied thermal paste was horrible... still, it really is a low profile heatsink and one rated to 130Ws - unlike just about every other one out there! The fan I fitted is a Scythe Gentle Typhoon 92mm unit and is really quiet! I hadn't realised just how noisy the original machine was, but with the Typhoon and the Silverstone PSU fitted it is genuinely quiet. Lastly, unlike the GT64 fitted before, it's fins go sideways, not front/backwards, and that means air coming off the heatsink will now go over the heatsink on the NB...
Speaking of which, I discovered the NB heatsink was rather loosely fitted. I'm going to score an aftermarket one with a bigger sink and *maybe* a fan and fit that soon. With proper thermal paste.
Lastly, since they were mentioned as a potential problem, I took a pic of what I think are the VRMs?
If I'm right, I can readily fit a heatsink to those if it would help.
With 8GBs of RAM and a 600GB Velociraptor coming, I am going to do a new windows build soon with 64bit Ultimate. After that, all I have to do is source a slot-load BR drive and the upgrades will be done. Modding the case will be another job...

Audio Riser Card

I have K7T TURBO2 motherboard I would like to know has anyone try to use the MSI Audio Riser Card for this board???? Can the Audio card be use on this board at all????

the nforce card,only one ive heard of is unique to it

Mac Pro 1,1 two different riser card.

When I got my Mac 1,1 Pro used, it only came with one riser card. Now I recently bought another riser card from ebay, but it is a different color (the original was light blue and the new one is indigo). Everything does work, but I was just wondering did apple use two different riser cards, because they are the same model and both were built in 2006 by Apple. Also this won't cause any optimization issue, Right? This maybe a small thing but hey, can't be too cautious. Anyway, Thanks For Your Help.

deal with reliable place like DVWarehouse which has 1,1 part number but $70
Apple Memory Riser card for Mac Pro First Generation 922-7695 - NEW - $78
there is another vendor that also carries parts and was about $40

K8D Master-FT PCI / Riser Card Help

Ok, I have just taking my first venture into the true server class motherboard. We chose the K8D Master-FT w/ a pair of opteron 240's. I have ran into a few issues that I just can't seem to find any answers on.
1. We used a third-party case which didn't come with a riser card. Do I need a PCI-X riser card or can I still use a 32bit riser. Also once I have the correct riser card can I still use 32bit PCI devices on the riser?
2. Next if I only want to use one slot can I just use the PCI-X slot on the motherboard without a riser? If so can I use a 32bit PCI card?
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Ok. Here are the details. We get the system board in and we grab a rack case with the correct form factor. Problem is the case didn't come with a riser card. None the less we where under the same impression that we could stick a PCI or PCI-X card in the slot. We only have a single card (RAID controller) which we intend to use. When we insert the PCI (32-bit) raid card in the PCI-X slot the system won't boot. We even tried inserting the card every which way we could in the slot thinking maybe we had inserted it wrong. Still no luck. Should our raid controller be 64 bit? Also we did have some riser cards that came with some ATX form factor rack cases, but when inserted into the PCI-X slot, the card slots face oddly up the motherboard towards the I/O panel. Thanks.

BIOS needed for a K8D Master-3 FS(M)

I just got a K8D Master-3 FS(M) MB and while trying to solve a problem I have done something rather stupid!
I have replaced the BIOS with one meant for the K8D Master-F by mistake. Interestingly enough the computer still works although things could obviously be better! It only sees the RAM attached to CPU0 and it has a couple of minor errors, but other than that I can run Debian Linux fine. Also the problem with the LSI Logic 21320-R card with SCSI disks attached hanging during POST is actually solved with the wrong BIOS!
I need to get a copy of the original BIOS (1.0a) to reflash with, and then I should be back to where I started!
If someone is able to help me get a copy of the original Master-3 BIOS, I would really appreciate it. Basically the Master-F BIOS update program allows you to save a copy of the original Master-3 BIOS, which I should have done if I was thinking. Here is what you need to do:
1. Go to this page http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=441&kind=3 and download the 9131v1.2.exe BIOS update program.
2. Put the files on a bootable DOS floppy, except for the BIOS update file itself (A9131KMS.120). This will ensure that there is room (4Mb, i.e. 512KB) to save your existing BIOS onto the floppy.
3. Boot the DOS disk and run amiflash.exe
4a. Press Alt-F to bring up the "File" options
4b. Press the Down Arrow to go to the "BIOS Filename for saving..."
4c. Enter "A:\origbios.rom" The program will save the original BIOS to your floppy. Please send a copy of this to me!!! I am really stuck at the moment, because MSI does not publish the original on their website.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Just send an email to [email protected] for the BIOS, normally they are very willing to send you that version.

How to use the same credit card for more than one customer master

Hi,
this is a question for consultants at least a little familiar with SAP business partner, Customer-vendor-intergration cvi, contract accounting:
My customer wants to store the same credit card with more than one customer. Arguments are that family members or partners may mutually agree to use the same credit card for their distinct purchases.
I never tried with amazon or the likes but I know that SAP validates the uniqueness of credit cards.
I found 6 code line where the message (V/)005 "Payment card &1 &2 is already assigned to customer &3" prohibits duplicate assignment.
Even if I create a couple of enhancements to suppress the error, I don't know how the system will work.
The customer does not like the idea of using alternative payer.
Did you ever face the same problem and how did you solve it?
Much Thanks in advance
Best regards
Clemens

thanks

Purchased ipad in united states and moving to geneva, switzerland; can i purchase a sim card for ipad in geneva switzerland

can i purchase a new sim card for my ipad2 since i am relocating to europe--geneva switzerland

Yes, as iPads with 3G are usually not SIM locked, you could exchange the US micro SIM with a new one from Switzerland.

MSI K8D Master PCI-X Question

Hi,
I was just wandering if anyone could tell me if the MSI K8D Master is compatible with any PCI-X 16 video cards.
Any information would be appreciated.

This is a server board, and server typically have no use for AGP or other fancy videostuff.
You are confusing PCI-E with the PCI-X that the board has.
PCI-X is an extended PCI slot that can do 64bit and 100MHz instead of the normal PCI being 32 Bit and max 66MHz.
This lifts the PCI speed from max 256MB/s to 1.2GB/s.
Raid controllers and very-fast network controller bennefit a lot from this.
Ergo, the K8D boards are for server use only.
If you want a big graphical workstation with 2 Opterons, it's the K8T Master board that you are looking for.
But it also doesn't have PCI-E as of yet.

K8D-Master and Highpoint SATA controllers

Has anyone been able to get a K8D-Master to boot from a Highpoint SATA controller?
I've tried 2 cards - the 1520 and the 1542 - both without much success.
Both cards are recognised in OS setup, but when it comes to boot, I just get the BIOS message saying "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key" (interesting use of capitals!). This happens regardless of whether I've got the disks RAIDed or not.
The 1520 is all fine in the K8D-Master's BIOS boot section, but when you try to enter setup with a 1542 plugged it, it puts "WAIT" in the middle of the screen and freezes. Neither card it seems is capable of actually booting the machine - however both cards work perfectly in other boxes.
A Silicon Image (sil3112) controller works fine, however there is no support for its RAID functionality in FreeBSD and I'd rather not send this box packing without mirrored disks.
Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

ok never heard of it before
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_detail.php?UID=441
are you setting scsi second in boot order to cdrom
have you defined the array in the raid cards bios
have you hit f6 as xp install starts and feed in raid drivers
other than that it sounds like a bios issue your best emailing msi about
we dont get that many server board users in here

Help hooking up MSI 6 channel audio-output riser card and DTT2500

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble here. I originally had my SBLive hooked up to my DTT2500 speakers (yeah I know, overpriced POS) through a 2.5mm-->DIN(9pin) jack. The SBLive has a 2.5mm spdif out on it. Now I swapped to an Nforce board and I'm using the onboard MCP audio. I used the CNR riser card (picture below) thinking this would be an easy switch. But unfortunately things don't go that well for me. Turns out that the SPDIF on the Riser is an RCA spdif out, not 2.5mm. So, my question is, how do I hook up:
SPDIF RCA OUT----->2.5mm
.....or.................
SPDIF RCA OUT----->9pin Digital DIN
Any ideas??? The SPDIF is the bottom jack of the 3 in the picture below, right????

I'm gonna try this again while our friend here shows an illustration and I can elaborate. Sorry to crash this thread but I see an opportunity here, and someone else may benefit from it as well.
I too gave up and switched to the SB live becuase I like sound coming out of all 4 speakers of my Altec lansing 4.1 analog system.
1. Does this mean that I can switch back and use the jack on the CNR card for the rear speaker connector since I have only two plugs from my AL's.
2. Do I now have control over the 4 speakers or is it the same as before where you can only hear sound out of four speakers when it is encoded for it?
3. finally, (see illustration) the wire loop/connector that connects the CNR card to the MB, shows it is connected at the header behind the SPDIF Jack (it comes that way).
A. Do I need to leave it there or move it to the header behind one of the other jacks for ANALOG???? or will it work the way it is?
I tried bringing this up in the old forum in my early days but it seems it was overlooked. I moved on and got my SB LIVE...yeah I know, but I just can't do without 4 speaker sound, not just a mirror image for the rear.
I don't want to have to shell out another 200 beans for a new speaker system...yet
So does anyone have any experience relating to the questions I have asked? ?( ?( ?(

MSI K8D Master-F MS-9131 and amd fx 51 socket 940

I am wondering if it is possible to run a AMD FX-51 socket 940 CPU on the MSI K8D Master-F MS-9131 socket 940 mother board?
If your wondering why i want to do this is because like many i got ripped off when AMD changed the socket and I want to use my CPU with this board because it has PCI Express.
So if there is a possibility of not trashing my CPU I will take it or maybe if there is another motherboard out there please info me me about it.
Thanks for reading my post!

OO thanks for quick replies.
I didnt catch the pci-x thing, good thing I asked before i bought that. Ill probly buy the board your sujested or just buy a iMac and burn my amd64 system to dust.
I curently have a SK8V from ASUS but I want to be able to play more of the latest games and you cant with AGP becuase AGP is crap, so thats why I want to get a pci express card.
But I think in the end I just gona have to understand I f.ed up by buying from AMD.
Besides my computer sounds like a vacume and I can do with out that.
