MSI Neo2 865PE and SCSI Controller Question

Hi All,
Im new here so be easy on me
Anyways im currently building a new system P4 System based on the new 800FSB, i have all the parts ready, ie. CPU, DDR400 RAM, Case, Adaptec SCSI Controller, HDD etc etc, but believe it or not i havent purchased a motherboard yet. The reason being i want to get clarification that my setup will actually work with the motherboard before i go out and buy it. WHAT SETUP you ask, please read on
Now the reason im posting here is because from what i can see on the internet this is a really top notch board (best performer in the recent THG test) so naturally its one of the boards im considering.
Now to the my QUESTION: I want to use my SCSI drive connected to the Adaptec as the OS drive and boot from it. However my main concern is that the Neo2 865PE wont let me boot of the SCSI Hard Disk attached to the Adaptec SCSI 21960 controller. Ive been told that certain motherboards eg. ASUS wont detect a SCSI controller on boot up because it will only detect the onboard RAID controller as the SCSI controller, therefore not letting you use the SCSI disk at the boot device.
Can anyone ease my mind and tell me the MSI 865 Neo2 will let me do what i intend??? ie. Boot of SCSI disk.
Any response/comments is appreciated
Cheers

Hi Domino,
Thanyou for testing the setup out for me.....
When you tested it did you have your onboard Intel S-ATA RAID controller enabled? because i believe this is where the problem will eventuate, when you enable the m/b's ONBOARD RAID controllers.
Cheers

Fastest overclock w MSI Neo2 Digital and AMD64 3000+ with OCZ 512 x 2 premier?

I was looking at a faster CPU and can't be bothered as they are costly and power hungry. I am looking at upgrading my platform with either of an Intel E8500 or the equivalent AMD cpu with an onboard video motherboard with HDMI...
but, for now, since I can't afford to upgrade at the moment, I was wondering if I could safely up my CPU to 2.4 GHZ or less. I have read people going to 2.4+ GHZ so I figure I could try going to 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 GHZ. The CPU is literally worth next to nothing, so it's worth a try. Any thoughts? If there are risks in overclocking close to the limits, I'll back it off to 2.2 or 2.3 GHZ, but, I should still see SOME improvement.
My Motherboard is an MSI Neo2 Platinum.
thanks,

You should give the full name of your MB in signature, I assume it's a K8N Neo2 Platinum. Same thing for vid card, GTS without number doesn't say much (example of mine: 9600 GT). It's possible as you said to get it to 2.4 but some systems will OC better than others so you just have to go for it and see what you come up with. Keep an eye on CPU temp when attempting any OC.
Read what you can about OCing it and then if any more questions or have any problems post back here and we'll help the best we can.

MSI Neo2 FR and ATI 4870

does anybody have a similar setup? i seem to be having problems getting my system to boot with a ATI 4870 in, i have tried everything. i even purchased a new PSU but i'm still getting the same result, has anybody came across a problem like this before with this board?
i dont really see why it would be causing a problem as my current 8000GT runs fine on the board :(
much thx

hi thx for the reply
as far as the board goes its a MSI Neo2 FR this is the one http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1261
when i try to boot with the HD4870 in i get and error and going by the lights on the board it would be a problem with the graphics interface, green, red, red, red, i replace the card with my old 8800GT and the system boots fine. i know theres nothing wrong with the ATI 4870 card as its been sent back to the place i bought it from and tested and seems to be fine :/
edit: i also have the latest bois which is v1.10

MSI Neo2 FX, AMD 939 RAM question

Hi to all,
I have an old Athlon 64 on the MSI Neo2 FX with the nvidia chipset.
According to the MB manual, I could install 4 DIMM (Double sided) and have a DDR333, Dual Channel.
But, in my case, I have 4 DIMMS (Double sided), which BIOS POST reports that runs at 200Mhz, not 333, in dual channel 128bit mode.
BIOS options, seems not to change and I would not like to change the FSB from 200 to 333.
Any ideas?

Why is it fine?,
Yes, your maths are OK. But:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/K8N-Neo2-FX.html#?div=Detail
Look at the table of the details (it's the same as in my manual).
According to that table, my RAM configuration should not be 400Mhz, but 333Mhz.
And something else:
The DIMMS are 2 Kingston and 2 Corsair. All modules have the same click speeds and are double sided. So, should I enter them as:
Kingston (Green), Corsair (purple), Kingston (Green), Corsair (Purple), or as:
Kingston (Green), Kingston (Purple), Corsair(Green), Corsair (Purple)

Max Fsb on Msi Neo2 865pe FS2ir

I want to know what is the max fsb for MSI 865pe Neo2 P Series board. ?
Msi 865pe Neo2 FS2ir , this is what i have.
and if i buy TCCD will it work with this board.

It's hard to define how much FSB gain you can achieved as it is all dependent on your hardwares and their capabilities to overclock especially PSU outputs.
Btw, what does your TCCD points to?

MSI P55A-G55 and Sata III question

I'm willing to buy MSI P55A-G55. I want to install high speed SSD drive which supports Sata III and normal Sata III plate drive on it. I have also Zotac Geforce 8800 GT graphic card. Will drives and graphic work on full speed while both connected? I can't find any information about it. Another thing: does this motherboard support Intel Xeon x3440? Please help.

Thats a sudden decision?

P35 Neo2-FR and VOIP card questions

Hi,
I'm evaluating buying this motherboard and would like to know a couple of things:
- Do all P35 Neo2-FR include ALC-888T codec instead of ALC-888? If not, how do I find out which ones do and which ones don't? I'm asking this because it clearly says "Optional" in the product web page, but it doesn't specify which ones have the ALC-888T codec
- If I understand correctly the only difference between ALC-888 and ALC-888T is VOIP card support, is this so?
- Has anyone tried using this MB with a VOIP card? How did it go? (Ease of installation, ease of use, sound quality, etc.)
- Are VOIP cards common? I just did a quick search at Newegg and I couldn't find any. Not a single one ???
- I think the P35 Diamond MB comes bundled with a VOIP card. I guess the P 35 Neo2-FR DOESN'T come bundled with one, am I correct?
- If anyone has bought a VOIP card to use with this board, where did you buy it and approximately how much did you pay for it?
Any help GREATLY appreciated

Thanks everyone for your replies.

that's only P35 Platinum, not P35 Neo2-FR :(
city_zen, is VOIP a must-have feature for you?
No, not really a must-have feature, but it would be a very nice thing to have on my board. I'd definitely use it if it was in fact available (i.e. ALC-888T) and I can get a hold of a VOIP card. However, it's looking like that's not very likely to happen ... Oh, well ...
Anyway, this is a very good board even w/o the VOIP feature, so I'm still considering buying it.

Msi 790GX-G65 and "EB" Ram question....

Hiya All,
Q: could it be that "OCZ DDR3 ram p3 1600 EB 2GK" won't work with a MSI 790GX-G65 mobo because of the "EB" (enhancend Bandwidth) ? ? ?
can't find anything on EB in the manual or on the net concerning the MSI 790GX-G65 mobo
System freezes randomly, sometimes during start up sometimes after an hour.
all temps are okay and nothing is OC-ed.
got ati 4870 gfx card.
550 W power suply.
cpu: AMD phenom2 x3 720 black edition
thanks to any one willing to look into this matter
Bassman404
p.s. asking this for a friend so hard to give more info than this atm

thanks for your quick reply
The PSU is a HKC USP5550
and forgot to mention that the ram is running on 1333 MHz not 1600MHz.(not trying to run it higher than 1333 MHz atm)
i'm wondering if the "enhancend bandwidth" could be the cause of the system freezing?
or in other words do i have the wrong RAM?
and thanks allready

MSI Neo2 FISR2 and dynamic overclocking

Last question I think.. With the bios update i did, in the bios there is the Dynamic Overclocking option. Under this there are several settings IE.
Soldier
corporal
general
(there are like 5 options or so but I dont remember them all.. they're all military position names though)
what do these mean and wahts the difference? is it jus the degree to which the dynamic overclock will produce?

Hi Asphix,
Each are D.O.T functions for o/cing, choose the lowest for normal rate and the highest level for real big o/cing... I supposed... Maybe you should look into you manual for more info...
All the Best... :D!!!

MSI Neo2 users, cpu temperature!!!, please post yours!!!

Hi Guys
for the MSI Neo2 865PE users,i want to know, what is your guys cpu temperature while your computer is idle and stressed/underload.
my rig:
MSI Neo2-S (bios ver.1.0) P4 2.4C @stock speed with stock heatsink fan
ATI Radeon 9500 Pro (not oc'ed)
80 GB WD and 60 GB Seagate HDD
Antec 1080 AMG with 430Watt psu
4 fan running = 2 intake 2 blow out
Sound Blaster Audigy
1x512 MB Ram Kingston
and,
i'm using pcalert4, and it shows:
CPU idle=45 Celcius
CPU when playing games=60 Celcius
System Temperature = 29-32 Celcius
please post yours, please... because, i think it is too hot for p4 to have that kind of temperature.
thank guys!!!

I am wondering how accurate the sensors are on these boards.
I don't think MSI (nor any other manufacturer) has a step to calibrate the temperature sensors, so the answer is - not much
They are just relative temp readings, and probably vary from board to board.
Quote
system temp. Board readings are from 39c to 43c but the air temp coming out the back 120mm fan is 31c to 33c.
Air cooling is achieved by transferring heat from hotter components to the cooler air. This will raise the temperature of the exhaust, but never higher than your hottest component. It actually depends where the sensor is located. If you put a card on the PCI slot above the Winbond chip, you would probably observe higher SYS temperatures.

[Other 865 Series] MSI 865PE Neo2-V and Dual Channel Mode Question

Hello, I have a quick question regarding dual channel mode with my current motherboard. I have an MSI 865PE Neo2-V and am wondering if it is possible to enable dual channel mode while having three RAM modules inserted in the motherboard.
For example, I currently have one 512MB PC3200 module in my computer. If I purchase another 512MB module and run them in dual channel mode, will it be possible to buy a 1GB module or another size module, and still have all three slots run in dual channel mode? Or is dual channel only operational on this motherboard if only two of the three slots are occupied?
Thanks.

Dual channel requires an even number of sticks.
