MSI K9N4 SLI with Athlon X2 6000+

I just built a new systems with this motherboard and processor with 2Gb Geil DDR2 800 memory. For some reason the CPU performance is terrible. The WEI (with all of its limitations) is only 4.5 so I when and checked the Sandra score and it benchmarks < an X2 4200. I have stock optimum BIOS settings.
What am I doing wrong?

I just migrated from to a new motherboard and processor. The old motherboard was a socket 939 EVGA SLI microATX motherboard with a FX-55. The Windows vista recognized the motherboard change and I reinstalled the Nvidia chipset drivers. It seemingly came off without a glitch.
I wonder how the upgrade would have resulted in poor processor performance. The Sandra benchmarks seem to confirm the problem.

K9N4 SLI with AMD Athlon 6400+ X2 - Damage to CPU???

Hello everybody...I have a very quick question. I purchase an AMD Ahtlon 6400+ X2 processor and the MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard not knowing that they are incompatible. I didn't find this out until I had installed the CPU, RAM and PCI-E video card, powered up and didn't get a boot or POST. It's alittle frustrating and I've made arrangements to swap the motherboard for one that is compatible. However my concern here is any damage that may have occurred to the processor in doing this. Does anyone know whether this would have caused any permanent damage to the CPU or any other component? Any response would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Just to let you know, i too made the same mistake back in February 2008. i got the same board and the same processor and it also would not boot. However, luckily I did have my old processor to got back to and i installed it and then I flashed the BIOS to 1.4 and then reinstalled the 6400 CPU. I have been running my PC for nearly a year now and have had no problems. So I doubt it caused any damage.

MSI P6N-SLI with Intel E7300

I have a P6N-SLI board that I've been using for awhile with an Intel E6420 Conroe core processor. I upgraded the BIOS to the new Version 2.6 yesterday and tried to install a new Intel E7300 Wolfdale core processor. The system will not POST, indicating no beeps and no video. The FANS are on Highspeed.
Any advice in getting this system working? I've been running the E6420 for over a year.
I put the E6420 back in and the system booted without issue.
The MSI website indicates that the E7300 is compatible with the P6N-SLI board so it should work.
Again, any advice?
Thank You,
Michael

Henry,
All add-on cards have been checked. I can put the Intel E6420 processor back in the system and it will boot as normal. If I put the Intel E7300 processor in the system, it will not post.

Setting up MSI 745 Ultra with Athlon xp

Hi I'm trying to set up my cpu and motherboard. I have
Athlon xp 1800+
MSI 745 Ultra motherboard
40gb Maxtor HD
256 DDR333
Inno3d Geforce 4 mx440
Win XP pro
I set my FSB to 133 so it's 266 and set ratio so that ram is 333. When I save and reset computer the settings go back to default fsb speed but XP crashes all the time.
If I switch off the computer and then back on again (instead of reset) a message says incorrect ram frequency even though it is 333 ram.
Someone said I need to set my IRQ list, but isn't this done automatically? Does anyone know what settings I should put in the bios, I'm using the latest update...
Also bios and XP says my cpu is 'mobile amd 4' not 'xp'. I have right cpu as I have checked part number
Thanks

Go to this msi forum a lot of info for the msi 745ultra
1 thing go back to the 1.3 bios the 1.4 sucks big time

Msi K8N Neo with Athlon 64 3200

I just recieved the parts today 1x Msi K8N Neo Mobo and 64 3200 procesor, so far ive only been running it a few hours and allready i have had a lot of problems with it, first off the temp of my cpu is at 64oc when idol, and about 72oc on full load, I have the Coolermaster Hyper6 KHC-V81 heatsink with 2 mounted fans, and im sure thats more then enough to cool any proccessor?? Next up after restarting the computer the mouse/keyboard do not work when you get back into windows. i have no idea why tried all sorts of problems such as reinstalling drivers, Next up the board reads the default clock speed at 2.2ghz, am i wrong but isnt it meant to be 2.0ghz, both in bios and windows, it also says that my cpu has 512kb l2 cache when it is meant to have 1mb.
Needless to say i am not a happy bunny
if any1 has any ideas on what could be causing this please let me know as soon as possible before i throw my rig out the window
P.s The multiplier is on defualt, but it is 11x, isnt it soposed to be 200X 10??

As with the K8T800 board, MS products have been a thorn in the side. Try some cheap-o mouse and keyboard until you get your system stabilized. Make sure your BIOS settings accept OS2 and Plug 'n Play...turn off legacy support. Make note of all BIOS settings and which ones are enabled/disabled.....'cause we will be looking for your assistance on a lot of initial boot-up questions! Thanks very much =DNA=

MSI K8N SLI and Athon 64 X2 4200+: some problems

Hi from France
I've try to upgrade my computer all day long, and still have no solution about this..
Mainboard: MSI K8N-SLI
Processor: Athlon 64x2 4200+
RAM: CORSAIR 1Go *2 PC 3200
Graphic card: MSI X1950 Pro 256 Mo Radeon
2 HD (WD 250 Go and WD 160 Go) on IDE 133 (supplied by the mainboard)
OK, I've connected everything, everythings seems to be well started, the CPU is recognized as ATHLON 64 X2 4200+, and I try to go into BIOS by pressing "DEL", as it is written on my screen (just beside "F11 to boot sequence)
Nothing happened, it seems that it freezes...
When I start the computer, I hear my HD starting, the graphic card also, everything...
But what's going on ??
I'm a little bit disappointed, it's not the first time I do this kind of upgrade...
I've rebuilt my computer with "old" configuration MSI K7N L Athlon XP 3000+ and MSI 6600 Geforce
Every thing is ok
I don't understand, can somebody helps me
SOrry for my bad technical english...

First of all
HAPPY NEW YEAR (in France, it's done)
And for my computer, all is allright now
Like a silly boy, I've connected too much things in the beginning (USB Hub I've forgot not to plug)..
And so without that, computer boots well, CPU is seeing good, RAM is OK and all the drives..
Some problems with my OS (XP and SP2), but as somebody says above, I needed to "repair" it, and all is good now
Thanks for your answer...
Best regards...
happy new year nice everything goes well

K9N4-SLI video question

I'm real close to buying the MSI K9n4-SLI-F MB. I dl'ed the manual and it seams to say that the PCIE 16x slots are only supported at 8X speed. I understand if that is true while in SLI, but is the 1st slot running at 16x with one vid card?
Thanks

Happy to help. It should make a nice Christmas gift for him.

K9N4 SLI: Support of 3 GB in dual channel

Hello,
This is a great forum
I've a MSI K9N4 SLI (MSI 7325), AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600+ oced to 4000+ and two stick of one gb of ram.
Each module is inserted in different channels.
I want to add a new module of 1 gb ram, so my system will have 3 GB in total. So my question is: If I add a new module, will the memory work in single or dual channel? If yes or not, will at least work in single channel?
My system score 4,9 as processor and 5,9 memory. I'm using Vista x64 and all works good but I need a little more speed.
Thanks!

If even can works will be in single.
Use 1,2 or 4 memory modules.
For best performance and troubles free use 2x matched memory sticks only.

But I still want to know what the problem is. The board turns on, the fan on the board spins and everything else seems to work, why wouldn't I get a screen?
Well you have to swap some parts to find out.
Do you hear any beeps?
What D-Bracket shows?
Have you Clear CMOS Guide as suggested?
What is the newest PSU which you have tested?

MSI P6N SLI-FI - two video cards non SLI help

Hi,
I am currently running Win 7 Pro 64bit on a MSI P6N SLI with a GeForce GTS 250.
I would like to run 3 monitors and thus install another video card. I was thinking about an GeForce 9400GT using PCIe.
My manual tells me I can only run two video cards in SLI mode, which I don't want to do.
Searching this forum, I found two contradicting posts; one telling me that it is possible to run two cards non-SLI (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107857.0), one telling me it's not (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124883.0).
Can anyone tell me which one's true?
And as an alternative, would it be possible to use a PCI (non-PCIe) card like a GeForceFX 5200 additionally to my GTS 250?
Any help would be appreciated,
greetings
cmdkeen

that guy would be me and yes, my pc BSOD-ed like hell with a 8600GT and a 9800GTX, but only after a few days.
maybe it was a driverissue, but I gave up after a 3 weeks
now im running a 250GTS alongside the 9800GTX (non sli !!) and that works fine, since the 250 is essentially a rebranded 9800GTX.
so dont be to happy yet and wait for a few days/weeks and see how it goes.
if it BSOD's, best bet is to get an identic vga, would be my advice.
good luck an keep us posted.

Problem with MSI K9N4 Ultra-F

Here's my configuration:
DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2100 MHz (10.5 x 200) 4000+
MSI K9N4 Ultra-F (MS-7310)
2XKingston (1 GB DDR2-533 DDR2 SDRAM)
Using BIOS settings I cannot overclock my CPU for a single MHz. When tried, I had to clear CMOS. Also, I tried to use ntune utilities for overclocking, but when I enter any of those utilities, my computer freezes. That started when I flashed BIOS to a newest version(before overclocking was possible). Now I can't roll it back. Is there any chance to flash previous BIOS through Windows(I'm not familiar with flashing from floppy).
What should I do?

Stop updating the BIOS.
Your memory preventing the OC.
