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.

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-F 9131 problem with BIOS 1.2 and Raidcore BC4852

The board does not start the Raidcore BIOS with motherboard 9131 BIOS 1.2 installed. It works OK wih BIOS 1.1.
Raidcore 4852 FW is V130. (tested V110 = same problem)
Bios found here:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=441&kind=3
Both 1.1 and 1.2 BIOS was unable to recognise my Opteron 242 CPU steppings which indicate they are both quite old. Maybe MSI could fix these problems and include the newer CPU steppings like the ones for 250 CPUs. Bios 1.2 is dated nov. 28th 03 which is a year old. BUHU.
I am building a LARGE storage server based on this motherboard. Several others to come (planning on using the MSI K8D Master 3 -133 9161), but if MSI does not upgrade the BIOS for their high end boards I will start looking for another supplier real fast.
Sincerely

I'll stick with the V1.10, but I'd fell better if MSI showed me they actively update their systems by releasing updated BIOS files from time to time.
I can't sell a 15000$ storage system that doesn't recognise the CPUs installed. The customer would laugh and tell me to come back with a supported system.
Isn't this a VERY valid reason for wanting updates? Even if it only is an updated CPU list?
The only reason I tried this MSI board is that it was the only one available with my retailer at the time I bought it with 3 PCI-X 100Mhz slots. Maybe I should go with a Tyan Thunder next time. Tyan at least show some activity.

K8D Master-F High/Low beep tones

Hello,
Running the system even on bare minimum (PSU, memory and CPUs only) the board will not post and will only return a constant high then low tone beep code. Information from AMIBIOS suggests faulty CPUs, but this is doubtful that both CPUs would be damaged (I've tried one at a time, and in different sockets), as their serial numbers are quite a distance apart.
Anything else I can try? or do I have a dead board?
Thanks in advance,
LJP

Full specs:

4xGiel 512mb Dual channel ddr 3200 ram (even with all removed it gives the high low beep tones)
This board uses a SSI compliant PSU, its 24 pin main power, 8 pin additional power. 550W supply thats in it.
*Mass of edits*
Couldn't tell you if its registered DDR, ram isnt the problem though, it would give a ram error beep code running with no ram onboard, yet it still has the high/low beeptones.

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

MSI K7D Master AMD Dual Athlon MP

OK so I've completed my first Dual Athlon and I'm getting some varied results. here's the specs:
MSI K7D Master AMD Dual Athlon MP Motherboard ATX
Dual 2400+
Antec 350W
various NVIDIA video cards
Kingston 266/512 64X64 DDR
I first tried a Wildcat 5110 but got no video, 3DLabs tells me this mobo has not been tested and cleared by them, so heads-up don't go with this mobo/video combo.
I went to NVIDIA and got video, I set the system jumper to 133MHz. I got a RAM error, change sticks (I have several of the same kind) but get the same result. After several attempts the machine boots and I install WinXP.
Now it is hit and miss sometimes I get the RAM error and the machine just sits there, sometimes it boots but the mouse doesn't work other times it seems to boot fine but the programs (3D Studio Max / Brazil) will just quit for no apparent reason. I set the BIOS to to check the RAM on start-up, it finds no errors.
I really appreciate hearing any ides or from anyone who has attempted this sort of thing before.
Liquidman

Very cool thank you.
Well I got a call back from MSI customer service, they said try going to 'Advanced chipset' and change the 'AGP Fastload' from whatever it is to the opposite state (enable vs disable) I think the default is enable. I tried that, but it was the same if not worse. I reset the BIOS, set the fsb to 100MHz flipped the 'AGP Fastload' and that, of all things worked. Giving credit to the cs department - it did not work without changeing the Fastload state.
I got the 3DS Max/serverrunning and here are some statistics:
Rendered with Brazil, tons pf polygons, reflection and refraction.
Athlon 2500XP (non-Barton) 1gig unbuffered MSI KM4M:
3 hours 15 minutes per frame.
Intel P4 2.4 533MHz fsb 1 gig unbuffered MSI 845GE (northwood)
2 hours 54 minutes minutes per frame.
K7D Master 100Mhz fsb (non-Barton) 1gig unbuffered value ram.
1 hour 15 minutes per frame.
I will try the ecc registered RAM next week. If the results are this good with the jumper set to 100MHz I really looking forward to checking out the 133MHz...
Any suggestions on brand/configuration ?

[nVidia] "K7D master" and "AMD Sempron3000+"

I got a "MSI K7D master-L" mainboard. with uppdated Bios. It's a "dual cpu" mainboard, with only one (1) "AMD Sempron 3000+" cpu.
I have tried everything, but can't get my Cpu to go faster than 1800Mhz. What am i doing Wrong ?
Annyone have a good advice for me?

The board that you're using is for server systems. These mobo's doesnt have overclocking potencial and options cause of the need for stability.
So don't try pushing it. Your board may be like this

K8D Master 3 v1 and DC Opteron

Hi.
I found in QVL that this mobo support i.e. opteron 270 .
But I've some doubt.
For newer K8D Master 3 v2 is available bios update to support DC opteron.
For older K8D Master 3 v1 (this one I have) isn't available any bios update.
Anyone know why ?
Anyone has K8D Master 3 v1 with DC opteron ?
Regards.
Pashen.

Yes you do, look at the BIOS:

Yep better to be checked

MSI 745 Ultra and AMD XP 2000+

Hello everyone,
I've got a problem, i've got a MSI Ultra 745 (MS-6561)
mainbord and a AMD XP 2000+ Processor.
When i am in windows, fuzzy logic reports to me that
my cpu is 1666 Mhz..
When i start my bios says that it is an xp 2000+ so that's fine..
And in my bios settings i can change my FSB and my Ratio..
In windows it wil say ratio 12,5 and fsb 133..
How can i change the ratio to 15?
In my bios i can change it to 15 but NOT with program's like fuzzy logic (only the FSB)
Geetz, arjan

AMD labels their processors by their performance comparison to Intel processors. So an Athlon XP 2000+ will perform just as well, or better, than a P4 at 2GHz at about 9 out of 10 applications. The actual clock speed is lower than what the processor is listed as.
You can't change the multiplier factor unless you hack your CPU (quite literally, by connecting some of the L3 bridges with some low resistance thermal silver laquer, this is a difficult and dangerous process).
You can increase the FSB, but if you go above 145 you have serious risk of stability issues. This will not only effect your CPU, but all of the components of your PC. I have mine at 140. Generally you aren't supposed to overclock anything more than 10%
Also, the 745 Ultra does not have a fan for it's motherboard interface controller chip (this would be called the Northbridge, but there's no SouthBridge connected to it). It just has that copper heatsink that says MSI DDR. I put my own 40mm fan on it to make sure the chip doesn't overheat. If you are OCing your FSB, you may want to consider this.

Problems with Promise SX6000 and MSI K7D Master

There is a problem with Promise SuperTrack SX6000 controller and motheboard MSI K7D Master.
We use most fresh bios for both products - version 1.5 for motheboard and build 77 for controller.
With previous controller's bios version it can't be initialize and now after initialisation the bios of controller does not show up.
It seems to be like one of problems wich are described in controller's manual, but this problem can't be decided by user's hand, but only new version of bios, we think.
What you can help ?

No ways ?

MSI K7D MAster and ram?

I have a MSI K7D Master motherboard, with dual athlon mp2200+, i had 2 sticks of unbuffered 256mb PC2100 ddr in the 1st two slots all thsi while, and last week i got 4 sticks of 256mb PC2100 DDR ECC-Registered ram, and when i put all four in, and boot up, i get a beep sound and the system wotnt boot. when i remove the sticks from slot 3 and 4, and boot up it works. anyone know the problem here? All the sticks work, i have put every single one in slots 1 and 2 to test. and help would be appreciated.
thanks

i se 2 things.
1.
psu 18a 12v is weak for 2 cpu's if it runs them from 12v line.
if it does i do not know.
2.
pc2100 memory.
i bet those cpu uses 166fsb so yuo cant run fsb / dram ratio 1:1.
can cause instability on atleast k7n2.
try to get some pc2700 memory to test with.
some stores will give you a refund if the memlry dont wornk so check first.

K8D Master

I am searching like crazy, but I can't seem to find any info on when the K8D Master (MSI-9131) (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/server/svr/pro_svr_detail.php?UID=441&MODEL=MS-9131) motherboard will be for sale in Europe. ;( Can anyone tell me, or point me to this information? Any help is much appreciated!!

Hi again!
I've looked into the power supply of the other server we built with the same specs. and as far as i can see it does not have more than 18A*. It might just be that the motherboard is damaged, so we will return it now to the re-seller.

K8D Master 3-133 FA4R: deactivate VGA

Hi,
is it possible to deactivate the onboard-VGA on a K8D Master 3-133 FA4R?
I've a PCI-VGA Card wich works like an IP-Extender so i can view&control the Computer over the Internet.
Best Regards, Erwin Preuner

Well it does say Offboard PCI/ISA IDE device and then the manual talks about a graphics card should work correctly????
Could be a typo on the BIOS or in the manual (I hope the first), but that's the closest as I get to an option.
However, with most MSI boards, adding VGA card to a system with onboard VGA, will take the added over the onboard.
But I'm guessing now.

Multiprocessor PC ACPI vs MPS, K8D Master

I got a K8D Master with 2 AMD opterons....
I installed windows 2k pro on the pc. I was told I need to turn multiprocessor support on in device manager.. I went in to it and see that ACPI Multiprocessor PC is the driver installed.
Should I leave that (is it supporting both CPU's?) or shoould i change it to MPS Multiprocessor PC ??

ACPI Multiprocessor PC sounds right to me
ACPI Uniprocessor PC is the right way in a single set up
any thing else is a lesser set up im sure its similar

Does K8D Master-FT support Dual core Opteron?

Hi,
Does K8D Master-FT support dual core Opteron? I saw the latest BIOS was released at 2003/12/11 and said to support for all series of AMD Opteron(up to 248, SC, 2.2GHz/1M).
Thx, Xuekun

Sorry I only looked after his question.
The entire K8D-Master3 series has support for it: >>Link<<
