MSI 875P Neo-LSR & Northbridge Cooler

Hi
Hi have a MSI 875P Neo-LSR motherboard and the northbridge cooler is making alot of noise!
I've already cleaned the dust from the fan, added some oil but it stills makes an anoying noise
My question is this:
I don't want to spend €€€ in a new cooler because i'm upgrading my system in a few months so, will my motherboard survive without the cooler? But remaining with the heatsink...
I have a Thermalright XP120 with an 120mm fan in my CPU, which are very close to the northbridge, they might fresh a little the NB... And i got a good airflow in my case...
My MB:

Thank you for your answers! 
Do you know the maximum temperature that the NB can get? Or the normal one...
I want to test if it's not getting to hot without the fan

  • MSI 875P Neo LSR Dead??

    Hi y'all,
    Saturday 12th of juli I've bought some components:
    - Intel P4 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB
    - MSI 875P Neo LSR
    - 2*512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 CL2
    - Hercules 3D Prophet 9800 Pro
    - Iiyama Vision Master Pro 413
    After installing the whole bunch, I tried to boot the system but nothing happend!
    So I waited for about 5 min. and booted again. This time almost succesfull but..... the only parts that were working are my fans (casefans, cpu-fan and the Northbridge-fan).
    The powerswitch wasn't working (and it was installed correctly). I had to power the system via the powerswitch on my powersupply. So my guess was that my mobo was dead!
    After returning the mobo back to my retailler, they concluded that it was dead indeed, so the gave me another mobo.
    So after installing the new board, I tried to boot again, but still no succes so far.
    My retailer tested the board again and it was also dead.
    Some symptoms:
    - Active fans
    - No HDD, floppy and DVD-player/Burner activity
    - Blank screen (display in standby)
    - Instant power on when I turn the switch on on my powersupply
    I've tried different videocards, memory modules and clearing the C-MOS, bur nothing seems to help ;(
    Can you please help me out????
    Thanks
    Best regards,
    Arjan

    With regard to the motherboard stand-offs, motherboards dont always use the same amount or in the same position (the stand-offs are movable -either bending out of brackets in the case or unscrewing)
    Always check ALL the standoffs line-up with screw positions for your moterboard before fitting, a wrongly positioned post can short-out PCB traces/pins
    Another easily overlooked item is the square 4 pin 12v connector (older type power supplys dont even have one), the 12v power connector is located by the northbrige/AGP socket (the CPU will not start without this fitted)
    Sometimes when physicaly altering a computer the reset or power-on (start) switchs dont line up correctly with their buttons -this can cause the switch to be permanently "on"
    The power-on switch will cause the computer to "cycle" (constant restarting) and the reset switch will cause the computer to hang with-out initialising -try removing the reset switch connector from the motherboard
    If none of those are the problem i would suggest trying a different power supply -or maybe your dealer could check the one you are using at the moment

  • Overclocking an MSI 875P Neo-LSR Bios 2.2

    Here is my configuration :

    CPU Fan : Zalman CNPS-7000AlCu
    Yesterday i tried to use CoreCenter and went to 215MHz (3.6 Ghz i think) with no hitch.
    Now my question is with this configuration what can i reach and what to use (CoreCenter or Bios) ?
    And which OC for the memory ??

    I think use bios is better because of more flexibility. You can go up to about 3.5GHz.

  • MSI 875P NEO LSR versus Corsair TWINX

    HI,
    I'm about to purchase the following parts:
    Mainboard: MSI 875P NEO LSR
    Memory: 2 sets of Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB).
    Is this mainboard capable of handeling 4 modules of the above memory?
    I've also seen modules from GeIL, are they any good?
    The module i've seen are: GeIL PC3200 Ultra.
    I want to run my memory at the following timings: 2-2-2-5T
    I believe Corsair is capable of that, but I'm not 100% sure if GeIL is. Atleast my retailer told me so.......
    Can you please help me on this one? ;(
    Regards,
    Arjan

    Quote
    My Corsair TWINX 3200LL runs fine with 2-2-2-5-8 settings at 400 mhz
    Ok, that's good to know
    But do you know if the MSI 865 or 875 mainboard can handle Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB)? Because it's not mentioned in the memory.pdf file.......
    Quote
    It may, or it may not, it just depends, running all 4 modules seems to make it harder to run at tighter timings.
    Ok, so to achieve tighter timings, i'd better use 2 modules of Corsair TWINX 1024PC3200LL (2*512MB).
    It's not cheap by the way..... it costs €375,- here in Holland. So that's why I want to know this memory ''thing''.

  • MSI 875P Neo-LSR

    I have a MSI 875P Neo-LSR.  I installed Windows XP sp1 and everything in my computer.  All of a sudden it doesn't recognize my CD-ROM Drive.  It doesn't let me eject the drive.  I see the CD-ROM Drive in the bios, but not in Windows. What could be wrong? I also have the keyboard controller light in the USB indicator bracket light up sometimes I reboot the computer and it locks up.
    Motherboard:   MSI 875P Neo-LSR
    Memory:   1GB Corsair DDR-400 Dual Channel
    Video Card:   ATI 9700 Pro 128MB
    PSU:      Antec TRUE550 550watts
    AMI® BIOS:   1.3

    Goto safe mode and delete the driver. Sometimes when you install SP1 it duplicates the drivers instead of updating them. Once you delete the driver restart into normal and it will reinstall the new driver for the cdrom.

  • 875P NEO and NorthBridge Cooling

    Does anybody tried to use 875P with some good noiseless cooler on the NorthBridge ? (ex: Zalman ZM-NB47J)
    At this moment with the 1.6 bios and with the original cooler the Motherboard temperature is around 53C which is pretty much. (the rpm of te fan is around 6000...)
    Please give me some good advice, or share your experiences!
    (Please do not come up with water cooling because I will not do that!)
    Pszabo

    Hey, I just bought a passive ZANB47J for my msi 875p chipset, cause the chipset fan got noisy and it didn't work ok, the system runs fine without the fan, but since i bought the zalman, i have to test it, so i did a clip similar to msi heatsink clip (the board don't have holes for the nb47j), but my question is.............
    if you see the chipset, it has a square at it's center and some pins?(dots?) all over it. The bottom of the msi heatsink has a pad that covers some of those pins?(dots?), can i use my zalman nb47j without that pad, is there a problem if those pins?(dots?) touches the sarface of the heatsink? I think that there is not a problem, but if anyone can share an opinion, i would be very grateful

  • MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R Northbridge fan too loud !

    I have a very quite system, but the Northbridge fan is too loud ! In fact it is the loudest element in my system and I'd like to replace it.
    Which fans are there that I could use instead ?

    At 6000 RPM almost every fan is loud.........lubricant doesn't help, it's a shitty fan........
    Loosing the ridiculous disco light is actually another advantage.....

  • Replaceing NB fan with heatsink (875P Neo-LSR)

    I'd like people's opinion on wether or not you think a Zalman ZM-NB32J North Bridge Heatsink will be enough to replace the NB fan on an MSI 875P Neo-LSR. I would hate to damage the board.

    I have been using MSI boards for a year or so now and the northbridge hsf unit has yet to disapoint me. Do not bother replacing the NB HSF unless it does indeed fail as you will lose your warranty if you replace it.

  • Where to find M.A.T. in BIOS of a 875P Neo LSR?

    Hi y'all!
    Currently I'm using:
    P4 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB
    2*512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 CL2
    MSI 875P Neo LSR (BIOS v1.6)
    I'm wondering where I can enable P.A.T. or MSI's M.A.T.?
    After reading something about BIOS version 1.6 enabling M.A.T. , I flashed from 1.2 to 1.6.
    But where can I find this new option in my BIOS??
    Thank's :]
    Best regards,
    Arjan

    Okay... Okay... This is generally for MSI, no reason to take offence.. anyone. Or maybe just the guy who never used computer(apparently) but designed BIOS for this board.
    I Have NEO FISR2 motherboard, and the problems I have seem to be something like people here have.
    PAT isn't enabled if you overclock. What ever you do, Ultra Turbo or turbo.. nothing helps. Is there a reson for this?
    If I drop memory to 333 and raise FSB, should the numbers in BIOS at memory speed show what it actually is, never have done so... And if I raise FSB and memory speed is at 400MHz why isn't PAT enabled, memory isn't overclocked?
    If I try to change manually setting for memory, like cas etc... Should it do something, or are these there just for fun, so you could IMAGINE the effects on your board.
    Almost all memory related settings are in BIOS for some other reason than adjusting setting on this motherboard, they don't affect anything. At least not for me. Maybe I was wrong thinking this board could be user for overclocking, those volt settings propably are there for show too. Nothing to do with overclocking, because you will never get everything out from this board. At least not if BIOS is working like this.
    I did simple test, raised volt for memory to 2.90. Whopee. Raised FSB to 230, and left the memory setting at 400MHz. Changed by hand Cas setting to more relaxed ones.
    Quess, which changes of these actually did something? FSB and Volts. For some unbelievably stupid reason board changes automatically both CAS(VERY RELAXED) settings and memory setting. Try Sandra, see for yourself.
    Please, let me know if I'm doing something wrong, this is new board and new BIOS, maybe I'm missing something...
    OR this is the most lamest try I have ever seen to put out decent BIOS. Nothing makes sense, thank you very much for wasting hours and hours of my time while I was trying to figure out why everything didn't work like I expexted, after all, there where so many "pretty buttons to press" that did nothing.

  • 875P Neo-LSR Setup problems

    I posted this message last night but I think it got lost in space.
    My System
    MSI 875P Neo LSR

    2 X 512 Infineon memory sticks
    Enermax 350W P/S

    LG 52 X CD ROM on IDE 2 primary
    LG DVD/CDRW Combo IDE 2 slave
    19 Samsung Syncmaster
    I am having problems with my new 875P LSR.  Installed O/S and software using FAT 32 and it wiped on 2 occasions.  Could not boot up trying all the sugestions on the web. Using Partition MAgic rescue disk I could still see the drives and was able to check for errors but when I used my old 98 boot disk C: came up with a message of invalid media but D: was still readable?  During both  the previous setups I used the F6 option and loaded the Intel raid XP driver for ICHR, was this the reason for my loss of system.
    On my third try I used the same partitions but did not use the F6 option and also formatted in NFTS (by accident).  Everything appeard to be working so far BUT!!!!!.  I don't want the system to do over clocking I just want a secure setup for stability in normal use. I do not play games, I use the inter4net, edit my home movies and normal word processing,
    Questions
    What am I doing wrong?
    What should the cofigreration for the bios onboard ID chip be. I have Mine set in Native mode, P ATA + S ATA, NO, NO, Both, S ATA 1st channel, S ATA PO1 PO2 Raid NO
    Do I need to use the Intel IAA driver -or- does XP have drivers -or- do I have to download some other driver or controler for the S ATA.
    Can anyone suggest a better layout for my system and how can I tel if the computer is operating with the proper drivers for S ATA, P ATA, H/T and all the other gagets on board.  Any suggestions and advise will be appreciated
    Swan705 in Ontario Canada

    Hi back
    Thanks again for the response, followed your instructions now I show a 82801eb under the controler section.  Is that all I needed?  Another question I like to keep a copy of windows 98 se on my other drive and would like to use the F11 key to boot to it.  Is there a procedure of installing it so I don't screw up my XP system.  I use a disk tray to keep the drive in so I can take it out for safety as I also store backups of my personel files on it.  Your sugestions are really appreciated.   Swan705

  • MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

    I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
    Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

    I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
    Mine:
    MB-   Obvious
    CPU-  2.4 800Mhz
    RAM-  2 sticks, 256 PC 3200 XMS Corsair using dual channel, at first I think I will use the 512 pc3200 I already have though.
    HDD-  80GIG W/D 7200 RPM ( May get another to run RAID 0)
    VGU-  Chaintech TI4200 at 8x w/ 128 DDR
    CD#1- 52x cd rom
    CD#2- dvd 16x, cdr 48 cdrw24 cdrom 48
    500W raidmax Pwr Sup
    Koolcases Panther case w/ window and 3 80MM/ 1 60MM fans
    For now I will even use the old 3.5 A drive. Just in case.
    Red light internaly
    Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
    1.cpu  2.ram  3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
    Will be upgrading to liquid cooling in the future, that way when I am deployed the temps stay in the blue. (HOPEFULLY)

  • Problem with S-ATA optical drive(MSI 875P Neo)

    Ahoy MSIers,
    I am in a most dire situation, and before I go to spend money on some computer-tech guy to solve my problem, I thought maybe you could help me.
    *My PC specs:
    Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2800Mhz
    MSI 875P Neo
    A-DATA 512Mb RAM DDR 400 * 2(1024)
    PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro
    Western Digital Hard Drive 80Gb 8Mb buffer P-ATA
    Pioneer DVR-212D S-ATA (The main issue here)
    Bios - AMIBIOS - VERSION 3.31a
    Windows XP Pro - SP2
    Until 2 days ago I owned an MSI CD(P-ATA) burner which was virtually dead.
    2 days ago, It died completely, So I decided that I will not just replace a CD burner for a CD burner... no! I will buy myself a new shiny DVD burner!
    So I bought myself a Pioneer DVR-212D(S-ATA) and I went on with installing it.
    I plugged the Serial Power Cable from the PSU to the drive, and connected the drive and the S-ATA port on my M-Board with a serial-ata cable.
    I booted up, and found that the device was nowhere to be found although power is being transferred to it(the drive opens and closes when pressing it's eject button).
    I searched the net and found that I was supposed to "enable" S-ATA in my BIOS.
    Tried that, yet every setting I tried besides the default setting gives makes the computer freeze for a few minutes at the MSI logo and then a "friendly" error massage appears, usually it's something like
    "4th master drive ATAPI incompatible" ( the number changes, I haven't got a clue why).
    Searched the net a bit more and found almost nothing... most s-ata "problems" were about booting from a s-ata hard drive....
    I am getting desperate, So in order to maximize the chances of me getting help solving this issue, I took a few pictures of the BIOS and the inside of my case... maybe it will help, I dunno.
    Here are some pics:
    The S-ATA cable connected to the Mother-Board
    Back of the DVD burner with the S-ATA cable attached
    BIOS - standard CMOS features
    BIOS - Integrated Peripherals
    On-Chip IDE configuration
    P.S
    I have a DVD ROM(Toshiba, nothing special) and I would of course occasionally like to burn Dvds/Cd's from my DVD ROM to my DVD burner. However, seeing as the DVD burner is S-ATA, there is no physical connection what so ever between the two drives(unlike in P-ATA connection where each cable has 3 "connections", 2 for drives(hard or optical) and one for the Motherboard) I really don't know how I can "achieve" this.

    A friend of my father's, whose occupation is a computer technician toke a look at the PC and bios settings today.
    WE tried EVERYTHING and It still wouldn't work so we concluded that the problem is probably in the hardware.
    There were two possible "suspects" here - The Mother Board(specificially the S-ATA controller/ports on it) or the drive itself.
    We connected the drive to my sister's computer and it worked like a charm.
    So the answer was clear - something was wrong with the board.
    I replaced my S-ATA drive for an IDE drive, and all is well.
    Well
    that's the end of that story

  • Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
    I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine  with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

    Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power.  Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.
    thanks jimi... jack
    will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

  • MSI 875P NEO FIS2R AGP problems

    I have just purchased an MSI 875P NEO FIS2R motherboard and there is a sticker covering the AGP slot which says "Please use only 1.5V AGP cards to avoid pernament damage to this mainboard". However, on the website it says here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=434
    "One AGP slot supports 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V
      (3.3V is not supported)." I want to use 8x agp @ 0.8v and the website says this ok but the sticker on the AGP slot on the motherboard says only 1.5V. Is this a mistake on the website or on the Motherboard and is it possible for me to use 8x AGP @ 0.8V without damaging the motherboard?
    I want to use an ATI radeon 9800pro.
    Anybody using 8x agp @ 0.8V and have they have any problems?

    Assaf IS THE MAN!! His answers are NEVER WRONG.. WORRY NO MORE about the voltage...
