I have one question for you. The motherboard has three power connectors. A 24 pin , a 8 pin and a 4 pin. Looking at your specs i see that you have the OCZ Powersteam 520W Power Supply Unit. I looked at a review of this PSU and it has the following connectors for this: 20+4 connector and a 4+4 connector. So the 24 pin and the 8 pin connectors are covered. All the pci-e connectors i see are 6 pins, also for this PSU. What did you do with the 4 pin connector close to the pci-e slot?

  • Quick FYI: WaterCooling Block compatible with the MSI K8N Master2-FAR

    If you're like me, you hated the noise from the stock CPU fans on the K8N Master2-FAR... well I did alot of searching and couldnt find any difinitive information about what fit, or didnt fit, on that motherboard as far as heatsinks or cooling blocks.
    I just finished installing a water cooling system in my system, and I used the PolarFlo E-Series CPU blocks, and they fit perfectly!

  • MOVED: K8N Master2-FAR USB problem in Linux

    This topic has been moved to Server/workstation.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=96587.0

    Got it to work.
    In order for the keyboard and mouse to work, I had to set the BIOS to USB 1.1 support.
    By default, it was set to USB 1.1/2.0.
    After I changed the BIOS, I was able to run and configure Linux Fedora Core 5.
    Also, Windows Vista Beta 1 worked.  Before, not only the keyboard and mouse wouldn't work but also the installation would crash.
    NVIDIA says that the NFORCE USB is natively compatible with default Linux USB drivers.
    Apparently, that is not the case.

  • K8N Master2-FAR

    Hi guys,N
    I'm in kinda trouble. I bought this new socket 940 MSI motherboard K8N Master2-FAR.
    The problem is the following. I dont know what power supplie to use for this type of motherboard. It requires 3 +12V connectors for JPWR1 (24pin), JJPWR2 (8pin) and JPWR3 (4pin).
    Now most power supplies have only 2 12V cables , one for the 24pin and one for the 8pin. As its not enough this motherboard also requires a power supply that comes with a -5V pin supply (donno what that means).
    For the moment i bought an Antec Neo HE500 watts power supply but he doesnt have a third cable (JWPR3) and doesnt support -5V pin supply. Antec replied to me that NONE of there new power supply supports this -5V pin supply
    Can anyone plz help me? Maybe a list of compatible power supplies or the power supplie that MSI used to test this motherboard.
    Greetz
    Geoffrey

    well ok,
    lemme explain as clear as possible cause my english is not my native language :D.
    1) In the manual of the msi mainboard is written that the power supply MUST COME with a -5V pin supply (Its very rare on a power supply cause even Antec, or coolermaster hasnt such a line). Now, i looked at the tested power supplys on that mainboard and I saw a ZIPPY power supply that comes with such a -5V pin supply. The -5V pin is located at the 20th pin of the 24pins connector.
    Now this is the tricky part: MSI mainboard (8kN master 2far) Requires such a -5V BUT on the manual is a schedule of the 24pin connector on the mainboard itself. On that schedule is NOWHERE a -5V pin located. So why the hell do they require a power supply with a -5V pin supply when the 24pin connector doesnt have one. On the 20th pin is 3VSB located and NOT -5V as the zippy connector does.
    Isnt this confusing......  .... how do i suppose the let my mainboard work properly when they give contradictionary information  . I find that a 275€ mainboard may have a better manual .
    Can anyone explain this? :D

  • K8N master2-far doesn't detect Areca 1220 raid controller

    Today i purchased the last components for my system. Everything works perfectly except for my Areca 1220 8x pci-e raid controller. As i feared the controller is nowhere to be seen, not in the bios, not in windows. I already had bios version v1.10 but flashed the bios version on the msi site anyway. Nothing changed. On the msi site under "QVL" i see my Areca at the bottom of the list. Does that mean that this MB can work with this controller? What must i do to make it work? I think i have to see it at least in the bios!
    Your help is appreciated. Now 5x 300 GB of storage is doing nothing.

    Maybe you need to update the cards firmware.
    I already looked into that matter and found out that the only way to upgrade the firmware or bios is to use their http tool McRAID Storage Manager. This of course is done in windows. Now windows doesn't see my Areca 1200 and so McRAID doesn't see it either. I can't update my Areca.
    This problem is well known by the motherboard manufacturers. Let me quote something from the Areca site:
    Q10150407 - Is there any socket 939 motherboards that work with your model ARC-1210 raid controller? In a SLI board I would use one 16x slot for Graphics card.
    Our PCIe ARC-12xx series controller uses Intel IOP332/333 processor. The Intel high performance IOP (IOP331/332/333) has integrated the bridge chip in the controller. But the original NVIDIA nForce4 SLI chipset BIOS has the problem after Bridge IRQ routing. All controllers use Intel new IOP 332/333, such as Areca, Intel, and LSI have the same IRQ routing problem. Those NVIDIA 939 M/Bs can be worked in the Windows environment. Due to the Windows system takes over the BIOS job, and Linux & FreeBSD need to use the M/B BIOS, so it has problem with our PCIe controller.
    Currently, DFI, Ausu, MSI and Gigabyte have BIOS to solve the problem. If you have problem in this kind of mainboard, please try to manufacture latest BIOS.
    We have tested DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI & ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe, and Asus A8N-SLI Premium. It works very well with our firmware 1.38 and newest mainboard BIOS. Try to swap the graphic and our controller, if you find some warm boot problem in the Asus A8N-SLI Premium.
    I still think i need an updated bios for the k8n master2-far (ms-9620). The fact remains that there are problems reported with every SLI motherboard. I knew this already from the socket 939 platforms. I was sceptical about the k8n master2-far but thought that a server MB should have no problems. I did ask a question about this however at the shop where i bought this MB. I even found an reply from you to another user who had similar concerns about the Areca controllers and an SLI MB. You said that it should not be a problem. Even so i always kept the possibily open that this problem can happen. And here i am 
    Thanks for your help. More input is always appreciated as i am still waiting for an answer from MSI in the Netherlands about this problem. Right now my server is doing nothing. I hope my raid controller will work very soon.

  • Windows XP won't load on K8N Master2-FAR after BIOS Flash

    I downloaded the w9620nms.110 version BIOS from the MSI website and flashed the BIOS.  Since that time, Windows XP Pro will not load successfully.  I re-flashed to go back to the 1.00 version and even tried the 1.26 version I got from this site.  Each time it still didn't work.  I cleared the CMOS and retried.  Still no good.
    I reformatted the windows partition on the HDD (nVidia RAID stripe) and reinstalled windows.  The installation seemed to go fine, but when the system tried to load Windows, it failed again.  Just keeps re-booting.
    Is there some setting in the BIOS that got changed in the flash that I'm missing that effects this?  A setting that needs changing back (other than the SATA RAID which I've re-set and whish is recognized by windows and the BIOS).
    Or, it is possible the RAID stripe was corrupted somehow?
    The system worked for several months before the flash.
    Any help on this is much appreciated!!

  • K8N Master2-FAR - System fan shows 0 rpm ???

    Hi, I just got the K8N Master2-FAR and equipped it with two dual core opterons 265 and 4gb of dual channel ram.
    My biggest problem right now is that all the system fans are running at full speed, though the hardware monitor in the BIOS show 0 rpms for them?
    At the same time my cpu fans are blowing at about 3600 rpms even though their temperature is only about 36 degrees C...
    It sounds a lot like a jetplane, and I'm worried the case will start flying 
    - what to do, what to do???

    Quote from: Djernis on 02-April-06, 18:15:14
    I've got the system fans fixed now  -Faulty wiring... my own fault
    However the speed of the cpu fans are still running 3600-4000 when they are idle at about 36-37 C  ???
    like what i have said, u can use speedfan to control it..
    @admin, soory for using msn stylo....

  • K8N Master2-FAR MS-9620 (v1.X) - Adequate PSU?

    Hey all,
    This is my first post. Been having some post/ display issues as well as continuous beeps that do not stop until i turn the PC off. All turns on and runs, but absolutely zero display to the monitor and continuous beeps.  No pattern...just beeps and black screen.
    After much research, resetting cards, resetting ram,using single stick, single graphics card, etc. (not touching CPUs yet) - i've understood the PSU could be faulty. (thanks to another post)
    With this board K8N Master2-FAR MS-9620 (v1.X)  the manual recommends a minimum 600w supply as well as a -5V pin supply (page 2-8 of the manual)
    Any education and advice on which PSUs in the current market are compatible for this board is greatly appreciated.
    What should i be looking for?
    What on new egg tells me the PSU has a -5V pin supply?
    Build was done in 2006, pooped out in 2012 - life happens, and i'm finally getting around to working on it. Original PSU was 550W Cooler Master 'RS-550-ACLY'
    Thank you so much, and i do hope that the PSU is the issue and not the board.   

    computer worked no problem before, for a solid couple years - pretty mcuh sat for a while
    broke it down  to troubleshoot: 1 cpu, new 1000 watt psu, 1 ram stick, 1 graphics card.
    Interchanged out each individually and tested after each swap out - same results. Tryed different ram in different slots.
    Just keeps beeping. 
    I did get a new case. Would the case front panel connections cause issues?  hmmm?  but this was having same issues in first case (just didn't have a speaker connected to board to hear any beeps)
    maybe i should disconnect the case connections and then try booting without it connected?
    i'll try that, but at the same time - i've been hunting for another compatible motherboard to support the devices....with these being from 2005/2006 and technology advancing so fast - finding similar ATX board, with dual socket 940 opterons and SLI ready  capability is a bear.

  • MSI K8T Master2-FAR won't boot!!

    Ok, I have the Athlon 64 FX-51 with the MSI K8T Master2-FAR.  I have one gigabyte of REGISTERED Memory (Corsair), 500W Power Supply, 120GB Seagate SATA HDD, DVD, DVD-RW, FDD, & 250MB Zip Drive.  Everything is (as far as I know) installed properly, but when I try to power it up, it doesn't start up.  Nothing will come on the screen, but the fans spin properly, and the motherboard speaker beeps at me (telling me something is wrong).  ANY advice will be graciously accepted.

    Wow, that sounds like a killer system.  I have not had a lot of experience with this motherboard, so my ideas here are going to be pretty general.  The speaker beep is a POST message: the number and length of beeps should correspond to the failed check when starting your computer.  You'll want to check in the mobo manual for a chart of post beeps and the associated failures.
    Otherwise, you can check your video card to see if it is working.  Make sure it is firmly seated in the AGP slot, and make sure you have supplied the additional power connector (needed for most high end graphics cards).  Also, try removing one DIMM (stick of memory) and see if it boots that way and try moving around the remaining DIMM if it still wont boot.
    Similar problems often occur when your system does not recognize or support the RAM at SPD settings (or whatever you set them to last).  Clear the CMOS and restart if you have changed the settings yourself (this will put them back to the defaults).  If you have not changed the memory timings, you could try booting up with other memory modules, and then swapping them out after you have gotten the system to boot (this might be difficult since you need to find registered modules).
    More information would be helpful... post the current over your PSU drive rails.  Just saying that it is 500W is not enough.  
    As long as your CPU fans are moving, you shouldn't be damaging anything by trying different things.  However, when you stop and restart your system, always wait for a little while for the power in your PSU to dissipate (you should hear a "PZZT" sound).  Otherwise, if you keep starting and restarting your computer, you may blow something up.
    Good luck!

  • K8N Master2-Far, Single 144 Opteron & Areca 1220

    Hi
    I would appreciate feedback please.  I have already built a Gigabyte based Samba server using the Areca 1120 (PCI-X) RAID controller & 2 x Opterons.
    For reasons too complicated to explain, I now want to build much the same thing but using a single 144 Opteron and the Areca 1220 (PCI-E) RAID Controller.  This is JUST a Samba file server, it doesn't do games, isn't used for browsing the web, OpenOffice, etc. and sadly, will not be 'Folding'.
    I was on the point on ordering a K8N Master2-Far, Areca, ECC RAM, PSU (dual-line !) etc. when I read some of the postings on this board.  Now, I'm not so sure . . .
    There appear to be a number of 'issues' with this MoBo.  If you have built a system based on it, how has it gone ?  What BIOS version are you using ?  What PSU are you using ?  I would be particularly interested to hear from anyone who has experience with it and with the Areca 1220.
    Many thanks in advance.

    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

    A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did.  When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
    It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
    Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
    If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life.  Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine.  Start with CPU and memory?
    Good luck.

  • Problem with NVidia Quadro FX 4000 on MSI K8T Master2-Far

    Hello everyone, I am new to the forums here.  I cannot figure out what is causing my problem.
    I have been having performance issues with my new Quadro FX 4000 on my system.  I have been in communication with Nvidia tech support for a while now.  Here is the discussion I have been having with them.  It explains my problem in detail.  Be sure to read it from bottom to top though.
    *Update*
    I have a feeling that my PSU might be causing the low performance, seeing that the Quadro requires two power connectors to attach to it: (http://www.pny.com/support/quadro/install/FX4000AdditionalPowerRequirements.pdf)
    Here is my PSU:
    http://www.xpcgear.com/500wseepsubl.html
    I do not know much about PSU's, so any input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Pat,
    I have checked the NVBug Database and although there has been Bugs submitted where a MSI Master2-Far motherboard was used, none of the issues were caused by the motherboard. They just happened to have a MSI Master2-Far motherboard.
    We have seen conflicts when both ATI and NVIDIA drivers are both installed, but I would hope that the Driver Cleaner software removed the lines in the registry as well.
    Did you try the FX4000 in the other system (the one that had the MX 440) ?
    I believe you are taking to right steps in resolving this issue.
    Looking at the Windows Error Reporting, it seems you have had some app problems.
    Looking forward in hearing your results
    Best regards,
    NVIDIA Customer Care.
     Customer (Pat Miller) 02/07/2007 12:19 AM 
    OK I completed my tests and got some interesting results.
    -I installed the GeForce Mx 440 on my computer and it yielded similar poor performance just like the Quadro did (terrible window scrolling, stuttering, horrible gaming).
    -I then installed the Quadro on the computer I yanked the Geforce MX 440 from.  I installed the most recent drivers, and it worked WONDERFULLY.  There was no stuttering, no lagging, and Open GL gaming seemed even better than the MX 440 (I know the Quadro is not designed for gaming, but some Open GL counter-strike served as a nice little test.)  Unfortunately, that computer does not have Adobe Premiere or any high-end applications for me to really test the card with.
    -After those two tests, I uninstalled the MX 440 from my computer and re-installed its ORIGINAL ATI 9600 SE.  It worked just like it did before I first received the Quadro.  No window lagging, no stuttering, and adequate gaming.
    All of these test yield a few conclusions to me:
    1. The Quadro FX 4000 card is not defective, it does indeed work.
    2. My computer seems to dislike Nvidia cards and/or drivers (seeing as the Quadro and GeForce gave me terrible results while the ATI worked fine.)
    It would seem to be a driver issue, almost like my original ATI driver files are still running.  That would explain everything.  However, I completely removed the ATI driver AND ran Driver Cleaner to clear all ATI files from my system before attempting to install the Nvidia card.
    I cannot think of a reason for these inconsistencies. Tomorrow I plan on preparing to completely crash my computer. Backup my files and completely format my HD's and reinstalled Windows XP Pro, my Mobo software, all drivers, ect.
    I will await any ideas or suggestions before I format my computer.  I hope these tests along with my system info helps.  Thank you very much.
     Customer (Pat Miller) 02/06/2007 07:51 PM 
    Ok,
    Here is my system info.  I realize that the Quadro FX 4000 has a conflicting IRQ with my onboard gigabyte ethernet, but my old ATI card was the same way, and it never caused a problem.  Also, I am unsure how to fix that anyways.  Hopefully this info helps us determine the problem.
    I am going to try a few tests of my own.  I am going to install a GeForce MX 440 AGP card(from my other computer) and see how it performs.  Then I will try re-installing my old ATI 9600SE card.  If I get similar low performance, than it must be something else besides the card.  Otherwise, the card is the issue.
    Thanks for the help.

    I completely uninstalled my old ATI and Nvidia drivers.  I went into safe mode and ran Driver Cleaner also.  I freshly installed the new Nvidia driver and I still have low performance.
    I am trying to download Viewperf, but it is downloading at about 30k/s, which will take about a day to finish.  What else could be causing this?  It is possible its a bad card? I got it new on Ebay from a legitimate seller, but it came with the card only.
     Response (GL) 02/01/2007 06:00 PM 
    Thank you for contacting NVIDIA Customer Care
    There should not be any performance drop browsing the internet or moving windows across screens.
    Since you did have an ATI card installed, you may want to verify that all files have been removed.
    This also includes the registry since there are applications known to leave files behind.
    Once all ATI files have been removed, please run a benchmark software such as ViewPerf.
    Viewperf 9.03 can be found on the following location:

    I recently upgraded to a Quadro FX 4000.  I do a lot of video editing on Premiere, and from what I read, it seemed like the best card to get.  However, I am getting very poor performance with this card.  For example, just browing the internet and moving windows around yields a very stuttery picture.  And I do not notice any different using Premiere.
    I uninstalled my old video card (ATI 9600 SE) and uninstalled the drivers for it as well.
    I have tried 3 different versions of drivers for the Quadro 4000, including the most recent.
    I have checked the power connections, and the card is receiving power on both the ports.
    I really have no idea what could be causing this bad performance.  Is this how the card works?  Did my ATI 9600SE yield better performance for internet browsing than this card does?  The only thing I can think of is that the card is not getting enough power because it connects to 2 seperate power cables from the PSU which already power lots of other things (HD's, Disk Drives, Fans).
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Here at my system specs:
    Custom built PC
    MSI Master2-Far Mobo
    2x AMD Opteron 244
    2G Transcend DDR 333 Registered Ram(1 stick)
    2x WD 74G Raptors (RAID 0)
    1x Maxtor 250G
    2x DVD burner
    1x DVD Rom
    Quadro FX 4000 AGP
    *Update*
    I have a feeling that my PSU might be causing the low performance, seeing that the Quadro requires two power connectors to attach to it: (http://www.pny.com/support/quadro/install/FX4000AdditionalPowerRequirements.pdf)
    Here is my PSU:

    I do not know much about PSU's, so any input is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    your PSU is good one and should be powerfull enough.
    Output    +3.3V@28A, +5V@30A, +12V@34A, [email protected], [email protected], +5VSB@2A
    can't be power related, since at 1st your PSU must be enough, 2nd same issue happend with your old mx 440 VGA. card malfunction are dismissed as possibility as well since its work fine in another machine.
    think its drivers mess. ATI drivers(or part of them) still exist, guess is not completely removed. same symptoms happend many times when switching between Ati to NV, lagging 2D scrolling lag and etc, caused by ATI Smart (part of ATI Drivers) sometimes remain(survive after driver cleaner).
    suggest you a new clean fresh OS installation. like Nv support already directed. also ensure in BIOS, in "Integrated Peripherals", "Init Display First" are configured to AGP.
    let we know how its going, if problem persist we a ready with a tips to resolve your issue.

  • MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition PROBLEM

    Hi (my english is not good sorry for that)
    I just got my new computer:
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
    AMD Athlon64 3200+
    Western Digital Caviar 160Gb
    PNY Verto GeForce 6800Ultra 256Mb
    1GB Value Select pc3200
    Levicom 500W
    The Problem is that when i start the computer, it boot and die directly no bootscreen what so ever, it boot and die.  i dont know what to do plz help me

    Make sure you have Both the ATX Wires on.. theres the Big one! (21Pins i think).. and the Small 4Pin Connector both need to be connected.. if you havent done so yet.. Another thing you could do is Take everything out and place it on a cardboard or something appropriate for the mobo.... I think your motherboard is shorting?.. if it's touching your case.. I had somewhat the same issue long time ago.. give it a try..if you want hope it helps..

  • Msi K8N and possible directx problem

    Hi guys,
    System
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    AMD 64 3200
    Enermax 600w (2*12V rails, one at 18, the other at 17)
    WinXP, Dx9c
    Other system components 1xSeagate 80gb SATA, 1xLiteon dvd/cd-r
    512Mb Kingston Ram (1 stick)
    Used MSI Live to update board bios to latest as well as nVidia chipset drivers.
    Asus Geforce4 Ti4200 128mb
    Doom3 runs without a hitch,
    UT2004, Everquest both are displaying serious graphical problems including missing textures, shearing, alot of  flickering
    Dxdiag performs all tests without any errors, have yet to try 3dmark.
    Tried changing AGP to 4x and disabling fast write, together and seperatly, graphical concerns only seemed to worsen.
    I have already upgraded to the PSU mentioned above as the Antec that i was using wasnt up to the task, this allowed the 3d games to actually run.
    So, any ideas on what I should be trying next? It seems that Open GL games are performing normally, whereas directX games are causing trouble.
    Josh.

    Thanks vlovich,
    I have tried the nvidia drivers v61.76  and 61.77 and also tried the beta v62.11 and v62.20.
    I have not oc'ed the video card at all, tho winXP is reporting it as running at 8xagp in the device manager applet. When i modified the agp speed in the bios to 4x the problems "seemed" to get worse so I put the setting back to auto.
    I haven't attempted the asus drivers, so I will give those a go.
