I'm thinking about getting a better graphic card, could you suggest the very best which fits on this motherboard without any problems? I was looking at GTX 550Ti, but maybe other suggestions?

Any Nvidia cards should works with no problems, however your old system will hold down the peformance if you place too powerfull card.
Basically what video card can handle your system its down to your PSU.
With note that lastest generation ATI cards 5xxx & 6xxx may not work in this old board

the problems are : i've two connector like this : ( one with number : 1394 & another with no numbers..)
so,..i've refer to the manual book..but no idea how to connect it..
another thing is...my "power led" not working..." hdd led" & " reset button" working good..
there's 3 connector :
1. power switch ( orange & white )
2.reset switch ( blue & white )
3. hdd led ( green & white )
so how to make my "power led" working or need to modified it..?
( please refer diagram below..for msi k9n neo )
anyone using similar MOBO & case ( msi k9n neo & icute ..0508ULA ) COULD PLS advise me
many thanks..

so the problem is that you can't find the power led cable from the case? if yes, dunno how i can help with that...
search again for the cable.. must be somewhere in the case...

MSI K9N NEO - Whats the best geforce ?? MY 6200 LE WONT WORK !

Hi all.
When i turn on the PC with the Geforce 6200 LE in the PCIE slot... the graphics are seriously messed up. red lines and blue bands down the screen and strange characters everywhere.
Only way I could install windows onto the new blank HD was to put in an old PCI graphicswe card and like magic... its normal. Now i used the old card to get me onto the internet and got every new driver for the geforce 6200 LE I could find, but no matter which driver I apply the pc just wont boot with the 6200LE in.
My system spec is
K9N Neo MS-7260
AMD Althlon 64 3200+ AM2
1gb GSkill DDRII 800 RAM
"3DFusion" Geforce 6200LE
Could it be the fact that 3DFusion cards are not compatible with the K9N Neo or nforce 550 and if so... presumably I need either an NVIDIA geforce or an MSI geforce rather than my 3dfusion card ???
So to sum up guys... shall I sell the 3dfusion geforce 6200LE and buy an MSI Geforce.... and if so... which card will DEFINITELY work with the nForce 550 / K9N Neo ???
It seems 3dfusion cards arent compatible with nforce550 or k9n.

do you have the VGA in the BIOS set to PCIE? I just set up my new comp with a 550 chipset and an ATI card and I'm pretty sure I changed the VGA setting in the BIOS

MSI K9N neo - black screen

Hi everyone
I have a computer with a MSI K9N neo (v.1.0) motherboard. About a 1,5 years old. Until last week it was working fine, but after a hard disk crash (and replacement), i can't get it to boot properly. When i start it up, I can hear the fans and drive spinning, and i get a POST 'beep' (the usual short beep), but only a blank screen - monitor says No signal detected. I've replaced the graphics card with a brand new one, and it didn't help.
Can anyone help me?
Computer specs:
Motherboard: MSI K9N Neo
Graphics card: Gainward Bliss 7200GS PCX(new) - XFX GeForce 6200 TurboCache(old)
RAM: 2x Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 512MB
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8GHz Socket AM2
HD: Samsung Spin point

Check monitor input selection 1|2
Check monitor cable and DVI->VGA converter if you use. Make sure that is filled well.
Try with different monitor
Thanks for the reply!
I've tried two monitors, two graphics cards and two PSU's - same result.
If I remove the graphics card and RAM and power up the computer, it does not beep at all, but when one of the memory modules (and/or the graphics card) are installed it beeps twice rapidly.. but the screen is blank no matter what I do..

MSI K9N Neo (AM2) memory troubles

Hi guys, I just got a new system which is having some issues, and I'd appreciate any suggestions on what could be wrong.
At first, the system simply crashed during OS boot. A quick test with memtest86 showed 50-60 thousand errors on a single run, so I asked at Corsairs site, got the recommendation to up the voltage to 2.1V. The memory got a whole lot more stable, but still showed a few dozen errors per run.
So, I proceeded to test the modules one by one, and found them operating well as long as only a single module was inserted (no errors on a 12+ hours run). I moved them around, tried different dimm slots, but as soon as both modules were in, there were errors ranging from a few to several dozen per memtest pass.
The system specs are:
MSI K9N Neo (nforce 550 based)
AMD Athlon64 3500+
Corsair Value Select 2048MB PC5300 kit (2 1GB dimms, 667 MHz)
Geforce 6600 video card.
BIOS settings are defaults (memory timing set from SPD) with memory voltage increased to 2.1 volt as per Corsairs suggestion.
Any suggestions? Is the MB shot, should I get it exchanged, or could there be some other problem?

Hi Raider,
I would not run in dual channel mode until you get at least one stick to run w/o errors in Memtest86. I had a similar problem with different memory but the same MSI K9N MoBo. Sometimes it passed and sometimes it did not. My two problems were (1) power supply, only 350W, so I jumped up to a 500W, and (2) memory timings. The MSI site said the MoBo has trouble with SPD timings. So try moving the mem speed down a whole bunch, like 166Mhz or 133Mhz clocking first. If it passes all mem tests, then move the clock back up and try to look up the memory timings for your memory and type them in manually in your BIOS. For me, I went from 2.5-3-3-8 2T to 3.0 5-5-8 2T and it ran forever. From Windows I used CPU-z to see the memory SPD and timings and set it to the lower settings from CPU-z to make it work the first time. This week I am taking back the memory to the store because it won't run at spec.
Good Luck

MSI K9N Neo V1

I have got MSI K9N NEO V1 motherboard AM2. I use AMD Sempron AM2 3000+ CPU. I would like to upgrage 2X2Gb Memory 800Mhz.
Bios update 1.9 version.
If I upgrade 2X2Gb DDR2 800Mhz memory the screen is black, bios auto settings.
If I upgrade 2X2Gb DDR2 800Mhz memory and bios settings memory frekvency is 2X200Mhz=400Mhz or 2X266Mhz=532Mhz, Bios know 4Gb memory but OS doesnt boot.
What's the problem?
Can you help me?! Please help me! Thank you very much!

i didn't notice that they are different brands..

if I use slot 1 is Kingston and slot 2 is Kingmax: is OK , But I use slot 1 Kingmax and slot 2 Kingston : black screen.
I dont know thats why?
you should use matched memory sticks only [as Bernhard already told you]
if you a different one there is no any grantees that they works together
the only think you can try is to place the slowest memory stick in the 1st DIMM and other at other DIMM

Sorry but i must ask abaut K9N Neo, MS-7260 VER:2.0

I have find on this link: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=255 some info but still i can't finde
just for VER:2.0 some MANUAL * BIOS * Driver * Utility * Manual * Overview. Can anybody PLS help me with finding the adequate link for my VERsion of mainboard...

It's kind of hard for us to understand you, sorry. I think you want to know if there is a known overheating issue with K9N Neo, MS-7260. Your neighbour told you so as his died because of overheating. Now you want to know whether this could be true or not.
Well there is no real issue. The passive heatsink is not very good and the northbridge gets pretty warm. That would cause trouble if there is not a good airflow inside of your case. But getting to critical temp should only happen in cases with very bad or no ventilation at all. So the K9N very unlikely dies because of overheating. Of course it could when the inside temp gets far too hot what shouldn't happen. Besides you would get instabilities long before it would die. You don't need to worry the dead of the other guy's K9N has nothing to do with a general K9N issue.
Thanx for answer....

MSI K9N Neo - MS7260

Well, I modified a BIOS again, for the MSI K9N Neo (PCB 1.0), MS-7260. The added features are:
- Damn Nice Bootscreen (the old one suck)
- Processor Frequency Multiplier
- Processor Voltage
I don't know if this will help some people with overclocking, but, here they are.
*USE AT OWN RISK*
http://rapidshare.com/files/228438450/MSI_K9N_Neo__PCB_1.0_.zip.html

hmm, unfortunately I can't seem to find that BIOS on my PC... I must have deleted it or something, but I did find a Beta BIOS in MSI's ftp site, which has EXACTLY the same changes. You can change the CPU Voltage & Change the Multiplier. You can download the BIOS here: http://www.mediafire.com/?o4t5mhomyzi
If you are interested in changing the bootscreen or modify some options, you can download AMI modding tools (MMTOOL v3.22 & AMIBCP v3.37) here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mnqwj2mmww2
I hope this helps. BTW, you should notice that this BIOS is for MS-7260 (MSI K9N Neo, PCB 1.0) only. It has nVIDIA chisets, so the CPU voltage will not be of much help, since nVIDIA uses completely different designs from that of Intel & AMD - nVIDIA's chipsets cannot overclock well, but they do have better latencies. Unfortunately real life performance depends on the actual clock rating & not the latency. You can try this BIOS, but I can't promise that it'll provide better overclocking. If you find that you can only overclock by 5%, then it's definitly better to leave the CPU on stock speed, setting the PLL's frequency higher than nVIDIA's chipset's locked frequency will make it unstable. Test the stability with IntelBurnTest (for AMD & Intel CPU's): http://downloads.guru3d.com/IntelBurnTest-v1.6-download-2047.html

Problem with MSI GTX 960 GAMAING 4G graphics card - Please help

So I just bought an MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card. My problem is that it seems to randomly decide when it wants to run fine at 1215 MHz, and when it wants to downclock to around 135 MHz. Today for example, I was playing Witcher 3: Game was running fine (~55 FPS) for a few hours because the card was performing at maximum. Then, out of nowehere, I dropped to about 4 FPS. I checked Afterburner, and the core clock went down to 135 MHz, while I was still in game. The card is not overheating during gaming. I have the fans set to 35% speed at all times and the GPU never got hotter than about 50c.
I have the latest nVidia drivers installed. I even tried an earlier set of nVidia drivers and the same things happened. Also yes, it is firmly seated in the PCI-E slot and yes, the power cable is firmly plugged in.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i5 Devils Canyon
Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI mobo
GSkill Sniper 16GB RAM
MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G graphics card
Antec EDGE 550w PSU
I understand these newer graphics cards have power saving settings built in, but I have my nVidia control panel settings to "Prefer maximum performance" and it doesn't seem to help. It seems my card is putting itself into power saver mode at will. I suppose my PSU could be the culprit even though the recommended PSU is only 400w, and I have 550w. Any ideas?

So it turns out I wasn't running the latest BIOS for my motherboard. I updated my BIOS and cleared CMOS. Everything was running fine for a couple hours. I was playing Witcher 3 at full clock and memory speed. GPU temp was hovering around 62 deg c at 60 FPS. Then after a couple hours, the game crashed. Rebooted my computer, and now I am back to the same issue where the card won't run at full speed in a 3D application. Even ran the Valley benchmark tool again and the card didn't increase speed to compensate.
Do I have a defective card? If so I will get it replaced from Newegg.
Also I don't know if I am running the latest vbios. GPU-Z says I have 84.06.14.00.F3
If there is a newer vbios, I can try to update and see if that does anything. I will try anything before returning this to Newegg. My old video card bit the dust and artifacts everywhere, so I don't have a temp replacement.

MSI K9N NEO-F V3 Cannot install Windows 7

I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my wife's desktop computer.
The system is:
MSI K9N NEO-F V3 Motherboard with BIOS American Megatrends Inc. V2.4
AMD 64 X2 3.00 Gigahertz
2 Gigs of RAM
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
500 gigs SATA HDD
120 gig and 40 gig IDE HDDs
As it has to be a clean install, I start the computer with the Windows 7 in the DVD drive. I get loading files, Starting Widows and then the background picture (picture with vapour trails, a dove and some grass) for the "Select Language etc." screen. Then nothing, no matter how long I leave it.
Got onto Microsoft and spent 1.5 hours trying to get it to work. We even went into the BIOS, made sure the DVD drive was the first boot device. When I clicked F10 to save and exit I did not get the "Press any key to boot from the CD/DVD", it went back to the beginning of booting.
The disk is OK, it is a Microsoft disk and worked fine when I tested it in my PC.
Can anyone help, please?

Disconnect the two PATA hard drives.
Make sure the hard drive you're installing Windows on is formatted before running the setup.

Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

Hey,
I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
Thanks,
Nevin

Welcome to the discsussions!
The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

MSI Gaming App - Uses wrong Graphics Card.

Hello. I recently bought a MSI 970 4G Graphics Card. To improve performance/unlock more features, I downloaded the MSI Gaming App.
However, it seem to default to my other graphics card, a NVidia 750TI. For example, the LED option isn't there, the cooling mode only works on my 750, etc.
The only way I can get it to use my 970 (Meaning, access the LED function, and change the mode to Gaming/run the fan at 100%, etc.) is to remove my 750TI from the computer, which I do not want to do.
Is there a way to set my MSI 970 as the "default" graphics card? Or to make the program use it instead of the 750ti, without removing the 750 from my system?
Thank you very much.

It happens every time, even after a restart.
Hardware ID for 750TI:

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.
