MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition Memory plz help!

Hi
http://www.datorbutiken.com/se/defa...2X512DDRCA400PR
Is this memory ok with MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition ?
If it is, do you know how well its oc:s?

He would be talking about this:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-466&depa=0
But I wouldn't reccomend that memory mainly because I have heard mixed reviews about it. You can get the same (if not better) memory at either of these links, the only difference between the two links is the color of the heatspreader (as far as i can tell). This is the memory I have and it works very well, plus its much cheaper:

  • MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition memory question

    Hi there,
    I've currently got a MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition (Nforce 3) motherboard and 2X 512 MB Corsair Value Select memory modules (both double sided) running at DDR 400 - this runs completely stable and has done for a number of months. I would like to increase my memory to 1.5 Gig but there seems to be a lot of issues?
    I originally planned to buy an additional 512 Meg Corsair value select chip and place it in Bank 3 - is this acceptable?
    I assue that i would have to drop the speed down to DDR 333 from 400, could anyone tell me how much of a difference this actually makes (when playing FPS games Doom3 etc..) ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as i've been looking through both this forum and the Corsair one and i cant seem to find the answer.
    thanks in advance !

    Just note that there are combinations of two sticks that will also make the board run in DDR333 mode (see page 2-8 of the manual). For example, using two double-sided sticks in DIMM2 and DIMM3. I've actually managed to get it to work at DDR400 in those two slots, but it's not perfectly stable and overclocking diminishes drastically. Bottom line is the system will work fine when forced to DDR333...as long as you don't expect to overclock the RAM to any significant degree.

  • 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 NEO Platinum Edition Low Benchmark scores

    Hi, can someone please help?
    I have these details of my friends new PC :
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
    AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 GHz Socket 754, 512 KB cache
    Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB
    I have run a sandra memory bandwidth test on it and I think he gets really low scores for his spec.
    int buff'd 2657
    float buff'd 2656
    This is the scores he gets un tweaked and not overclocked. Do these sound like reasonable out of the box scores??
    Any information would be appreciated

    not 100% true either beacuse if you then run encoding apps etc which are mem bandwidth dependant the 3C would own. it is not true to say they are not real world results, just games and most apps dont bottleneck on the mem bandwidth.....now that is will be different on 64-bit coding but of course the A64 would still own the 3C on them.
    just for the record i would never buy an intel.

  • Any MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition S754 nForce3 users?? Need advice..

    Hi, thinking of building a budget system around a S739 Clawhammer 3700 with an
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition S754 nForce3 board. But have a few concerns..
    - Will this board run on this chip or will it need updated BIOS to do so?
    - Will it work with crucial 3200DDR memory.CL=3 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 64Meg x 64 ?
    - Can it take an extra (3rd) 512 stick of this ram?
    Thanks.

    I have ran the Neo s754 model with 2 * crucial CT6464Z40B 512MB cas 3 modules and never had one single problem with the combination
    of A64 GC version , mobo and RAM .
    Three modules is tough on the single channel memory controller though , as it would have to deal with 6 banks
    and you probably see the ram max speed as DDR333 and 2T commandrate is what it can cope with.

    http://www.tbreak.com/reviews/article.php?id=290

    Is it worth the money I wonder?  There aren't that many programs written wich can run in 64 bit mode! This is truly the main reason for getting this board unless all you guys have a load of money and want to be at the cutting edge.
    I think I'll wait till its get worth the money...  or am I completely wrong here?

    LMK whats wrong if you have ideas, i dont know if you have sufficient information to come up with a conclusion.. im not too sure whats going on either.. But A friend of mine is getting exact same issues he says its IDE conflicts.. now when the Blue screen comes up it doesnt stay long enough to give a moment to read it.. lmk if you have ideas thx..

    which drivers are you using?
    Right click MY computer -> properties -> Advance -> start up and recovery -> system failure -> uncheck "automatically restart"
    this way it will stop at the blue screen and get an stop error number
    Or view the error log

    it shows all errors by date migh provide you error numbers ie. 0x000008e

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum Edition vs. ASUS K8N-E Deluxe

    I'm beginning to get nervous. Since almost everyone has had problems with the MSI board, I'm beginning to doubt it's a good choice...
    I've been looking some at the ASUS K8N-E Deluxe. Is this board a better choice?

    *dons flame-suit*.  
    I don't think anyone is going to flame you... but I will point this out:
    You are over clocking. ? You'll get varied results from any brand.
    Like there's some inherent warranty behind overclockability. Give me a break.
    I had an ASUS board where a diode EXPLODED and took out a Thunderbird. I handled it with support... like I should have.
    God I hate whiners.
    Listen bud, I ain't a whiner, but I say things how I see them and I don't needlessly mince my words, in my job it desn't pay to.  I don't pussy-foot around anyone.  Also, i've been overclocking a long while now, likely far longer then your wee self, and i've used a wide range of motherboards on both the AMD and Intel platforms.
    Also, God knows what you're talking about with the "inherent warranty behind overclockability" part as that's not even in context, I made no reference to the warranty, merely on the board's performance and my opinions on MSI.  They weren't offensive, merely informed opinions.
    If you're going to attempt a put-down, please try and make it vaguely relevant and remotely intelligent.  Otherwise...
    Just for the record, my first overclocked machine was an 80286
    lol same here tiresmoke, touche sir.
    And SAB I hear you mate, i'm sure you love MSI motherboards, but review after review has shown they are not the best, in terms of stability or overclocking, especially overclocking in fact.  Ask 9/10 reviewers and they would rate ABIT, DFI or ASUS over MSI every time.  But the very fact that I bought an MSI motherboard shows I am willing to give them a chance, and I will wait until the next BIOS update for the NEO Platinum before I make my final judgement on my first ever MSI product.  If the BIOS turns out to be a dud and doesn't solve the many issues with this board, i'll say bye bye forever, as many others no doubt will who have bought the MSI Neo Platinum as their first MSI motherboard, mainly because it was the first Norce3 250GB to be released.

  • Help with MSI K8N Neo Platinum

    HELP please- motherboard MSI K8N Neo PLATINUM: I tried to take away the backplate for the heatsink (on the back side of MB) in order to install the zalman HS beafore i read the forum (use a fan...) and the worst of all happend:
    I scratched the back surface!! the scratches are minor, that is 4 scratches half a milimeter long each and not deep but i can see the copper of some lines leading from the memory slots to the processr. My question is : can I try and build the computer on that motherboard anyway or better buy a new one? is there a risk of dammaging other components? oh god what a mistake!

    Make sure the new backplate is non-conductive. The backplate for the Hyper 6 has a non-conductive sticker on it. Make sure to keep it on if youve got one... If the lines are exposed even with the back-plate on perhaps you should cover them with some non-conductive (100% non conductive!) tape or something.
    Then it doesnt matter if they are exposed, as long as they are ok.
    A good tip, which got when i was removing my backplate, is to use a blow dryer to heat it up and the remove it with your fingers. That way youll also notice if it gets to hot
    The glue gets sticky at blow drier temps. And pls, dont singe the MB with your blow dryer, you only have to make it hot, and if you cant touch it, how can you remove it with your fingers?
    I guess theres no way of telling if you have a serious prob and no way to tell if your cpu will be ok. I guess you could (?) try and start it wíthout anything (cpu, mems) but a PSU, and then, if it (and maybe the PSU) goes "!Pfsssssss!"  or "bang!", youll now you will have to replace it.
    I put a screwdriver through an asus board once, and it still worked...  

  • Help: MSI K8N Neo Platinum

    I've had nothing but problems trying to get this system running properly at any overclocking selections. Can you please review my components and give me suggestions on how to improve my situation.
    Currently my know problems are 1. The Mother Board will only read my (2) 200/Gig Hard drives as 127/Gigs. 2. Slighest overclocking & system won't boot up.
    Components:
    Processor: A64 3200+ NewCastle
    MoBo: MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    Ram: Kingston HyperX 2048 PC3200 400Mhz (2 x 1024MB)
    Kinston Ram - Tiger Direct
    Video: MSI N5900 Ultra-VTD 256
    MSI 5900 Ultra
    Hard Drives: (2) 200 Gig Seagates
    Power: 500W Aspire
    3DMark2001 SE Score: 6300
    Ok, everything I bought I got because it said it had Overclocking capabilities. So far any attempts to O.C. the system won't boot up properly.
    WHAT DO I DO?
    Thoughts on my other components???

    The first thing you need to do is tighten them memory timings you killing your a64's performance
    try 2.5,3,2,8 t1 2.7v
    Get the latest bios for the neo it is a truly fast board when set up right.
    Your 3d mark 01 should be in the 15k to 20k range
    If you are running 200gb hdds you need to run sp1 on windows xp as xp does not recognise drives over 137gb
    run your pci at 67 or 68
    drop your htt to 3x
    before you try to over clock you system get it running well at stock speeds or you will end up in a mess, there is not much point o/cin if its not.
    Msi neo need a bit of tweaking but it runs like a dream when you do.
    All your parts look ok

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

    Hi all,
    Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
    First all all system specs:
    Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
    1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
    Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
    1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
    NEC 2500a DVD writer.
    Eye-T 550w PSU.
    Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
    Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
    The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
    So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
    I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
    I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
    The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
    If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
    I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
    I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
    I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
    I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Glenn

    When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ?  Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ?  It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable).  I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly.  Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
    As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this.  It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

    I installed everything and all seemed to work okey,  until i threw in the XP install cd and began my install..
    in the dos install of windows xp, (when it moves files to the hdd) it stopped and said that there was a problem with a file that were to be copied, i pressed enter to try again and  the install moves on,  this accurs 4-5 times and then it gives me a BIG  "IRQL less or not equal".. Blue screen of death.. (it complains on different files each time i try to install xp, tried 15-20 times)
    I have tried to change memory to another Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL3 with no luck,
    changed hdd, change gfx-card. change psu,  removed all no-need pci-cards..
    but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
    please help me if you can..

    Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
    Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
    That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
    You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
    The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
    and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
    Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
    giving it 0.5v more than default .
    Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
    which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
    Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
    Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
    Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
    Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
    gfx card .
    Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
    USBOC pin is connected)

  • MSI K8N-NEO-PLATINUM nForce3 250 + Corsair vs.

    EDIT: I think I made this topic in the wrong forum. Mods move it to AMD64 nVidia Based board  ?

    MakubeX,
    I have the Antec True Power 480. Unfortunately it only has 22 or 23 amps (the specs and the label on the psu have different ratings  ) on the +12V rail. Most of the folks here recommend a power supply with at least 24 amps.
    The good news is that the system in my sig is working flawlessly so the extra 1 or 2 amps don't seem to make a big difference, at least in my case. I will say, however, that according to Core Center my +12V rail runs around 11.5 volts, which is low and nearly out of ATX sepc. The low voltage will result in higher amperage draw...but again, the system is stable.
    I wish you good luck

    XL's is verified by anand to top at 2-3-3 on DDR466 so this would be how much of a oce on a 3700sandy at those timings.
    Well the 3700 San Diego har a max multilplier equals 11 and you can use the lower ones also .
    So you have more options than one to reach say you set a goal for 2700mhz assuming you have air cooling (2.7ghz seems to be what most aim for without extreme cooling)
    HTT reference clock at 233 with memory index 200 times multiplier 11 gives 2530mhz on the cpu and 233mhz/466DDR on the memory .
    To maintain same memory speed (around or below 233mhz) with higher cpu frequency you must use a divider by setting max memory speed to 166 etc and use a higher HTT clock reference .
    E.g
    HTT=270
    Multiplier=10
    Memory index=166
    Gives CPU/12 divider
    CPU is then 2.7ghz
    Memory speed = cpuspeed/12 = 2700/12 = 225mhz or DDR450 .
    Multilplier memory index dividers:
    7x with 133 : cpu/11
    8x with 133 : cpu/12
    9X with 133 : cpu/14
    10x with 133 : cpu/15
    11x with 133 : cpu/17
    7x with 166 : cpu/9
    8x with 166 : cpu/10
    9X with 166 : cpu/11
    10x with 166 : cpu/12
    11x with 166 : cpu/13
    7x with 183 : cpu/8
    8x with 183 : cpu/9
    9X with 183 : cpu/10
    10x with 183 : cpu/11
    11x with 183 : cpu/13
    7x with 200 : cpu/7
    8x with 200 : cpu/8
    9X with 200 : cpu/9
    10x with 200 : cpu/10
    11x with 200 : cpu/11
    ( with 200 you will se the divider is the same as multiplier , thats why some calls this 1:1 )
    There are also some tables for the dividers made by orcar wu over at extremesystems in this thread:
    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=41595&highlight=a64+divider+table]
    Using this calculation you can figure out your ram frequency before trying it in the bios .
    E.g use 183 mem index/divider with cpu multiplier 10x with 2.7ghz as the target .
    10 x 270 = 2700
    memory will run at
    2700/11 = ~ 245mhz or DDR490
