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

10.6.4 Combo Update - Kernel Panic on 1st Gen Mac Pro with 8GB and ATI 4870

Hi,
I installed the 10.6.4 combo update last night and now my system constantly kernel panics. It was fine with 10.6.3 for months and never kernel panicked.
I have 4 x 2GB FB-Dimms and a ATI 4870 card.
The system is also only showing one display and I can force it to kernel panic by going to system preferences and selecting 'Detect Displays'.
Anyone got any suggestions before I reinstall back to 10.6.3?
Thanks
Paul

Hey guys. I have got a new Macbook Pro 13" model and I am getting kernel panics. I've been trying to partition the drive for Boot Camp and after I updated yesterday (to 10.6.4) i've been getting the kernel panic sign. Also, when I boot from my Snow Leopard disk to go into Disk Utility to repair the permissions (I opened Onyx and on the SMART check it said the permissions needed to be reset) I get a kernel panic and it crashes! So at the moment i've just backed up my work and I am panicking myself as I have no idea what to do from here.
Any help would be appreciated!

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.

Automatic monitor calibration with NVidia GT 120 and ATI 4870

I am considering purchase of a Mac Pro to use with a LaCie monitor and the Blue Eye Pro calibrator / software. Auto calibration of the monitor is possible if the calibrator / software can communicate directly via the graphics cards with the monitor. DDC CI - a communication standard is used for this. My question is are these cards able to use this standard.
I have tried Apple Service and Support by telephone and I have tried to find information on the NVidia and ATI websites without success. Neither site seems to provide a way to email such a question to them.
I am surprised that Apple are unable to provide information of this type to help a prospective purchaser.
Has anyone any advice or or experience to offer me - it would be gratefully received!

Have you asked Blu Eye?

MBO MSI 645 Ultra and Ati Radeon x1650pro 512MB agp

I tried to upgrade my comp. with new graphic card Ati radeon X1650pro, 512Mb, AGP. X1650pro works great 3 days and then colapsed. When I became a new one from shop, It hapen the same: work great 3 days and then colapsed. I dont know what to do. I have old MBO MSI 645 ultra, intel pentium 4 on 2,4 Ghz, 1280 RAM, 80Gb + 120Gb hard drives, Samsung DVD player and LG DVD-RW... I think this motherboard dont support Ati Radeon X1650pro graphic card. I have before Ati Radeon 9600pro 256Mb and it work perfectly. Dont tell me that its time to buy all new (MBO, procesor, etc...) Regards from Croatia...

If you place Ati 9600 back in system, is all OK?
Could be faulty 1650pro card...........
Please couls you list all components in your system.........

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

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!!!

Mac Pro 3.1 and ATI Radeon 3870 running Snow Leopard

Hi.
Anybody who can give me a straight answer here.
I have a Mac Pro3.1 8 Core 2.8Ghz with Radeon 3870 card. (Standard 2600 HD)
Right now it runs 10.5.8 with no problems but i want to update to 10.6.3 Snow.
But someone told me the 3870 card isn't working with Snow Leopard.
Is that right ?

Someone? not working? I think they mean that some features won't be supported, like perhaps OpenCL.
Use GT120 cheap and works or shell out for ATI 4870 (or wait and see if anything comes out this year).

Most of what is written seems like it wasn't a tech writer, but then Apple doesn't get into telling customers what UEFI/EFI64 is the over-riding requirement.
Take Apple hardware specs with grain of salt.
The 4870 works in ALL Mac Pro models (and look at the threads, or the comments on the product page why not). No mystery there either.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB999ZM/A
Even the GTX 285 works, if interested.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/TW387ZM/A
And one person has both ATI 4870 + GTX 285, using a couple break out power cables and adapters.
*2009 Mac Pro owner running GTX-285 and ATI 4870 Cards*
(via Aux power Y adapters) And yes, he knows that apple lists 300W Max for the PCIe cards in the manual.
I've got the dual high-power graphics cards running without a hitch. It's rendering with the GTX 285 and CUDA now while I use the computer with the Radeon 4870 (no GUI lag, which is a nice change from using the GTX 285) http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/

These ATI cards 9500 Pro and 9700 Pro ok for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and winchester cpu? Compatible?

Looking at grabbing a used ATI 9500 Pro or used 9700 Pro AGP card for my MSI Neo2 Plat since I can't use my Matrox G400.
Any problems using either of the above cards? I don't play a huge amount of 3D games so I'm not going to grab a 9800 Pro or XT or 6600GT. A 9500 or 9700 Pro would allow me to play the newer games at reasonable resolutions. Just want to make sure they are compatible.
thanx

Ok guys, thanx for the feedback. I missed the 9500 Pro sale, so maybe its for the better. If I'm going to try a bit of 3D gaming, I may aswell get a little bit better card. So here is my question for you folks:
For my MSI K8N Neo2 and AMD64 3000+ system, I want a card that will have good 2D output and good DVD playback. I want to try some 3D games, but don't want to have the minimum. I was looking at used 9500 Pro's and the 9600 XT but I've come across a used 9700 Pro and a 9800 Pro and 9800 Pro with r360 core (almost a 9800XT). So if I get a 9700 Pro, what will I be able to play smoothly at what settings and what will I be unable to play. Ultimately, I may play mostly on my projector at 858 x 484, so maybe the cards don't matter too much. If I don't play 3D games much after a while, I'll probably downgrade, but I want to give it a try. I can't afford a new 9800 Pro/XT or 6600GT.
Used cards I'm deciding between. Have to act fast.
9700 Pro $170 CAD or 9800Pro $210 CAD or 9800 with r360 core $230. Price differences between the cards is as you see there.
thanx in advance for any feedback,

Vga silencer (ati) fit on msi neo2 939

I am concerned about the clearance between the northbridge fan and my vga silencer (ati ver.1) used currently on my ati 9800pro. I have ordered the msi neo2 and think that it will barely fit but wondered if anyone else have noticed this.
Thank you
Kim

I had a little problem installing mine. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on. The H/L switch on the VGA Silenser was hitting one of the capasitors on the mobo and I couldn't push the card all the way in. I had to unbolt and reposition the switch. And like the others said there's not much room between the NB fan and the card, but it does fit. I think it would be chalanging trying to get to the AGP slot clip with that tight fit. Good luck!

[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.

MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!

I don´t know how well known this problem is but I´ve seen it on this forum and when googling the internet you can find it!
The issue is that I can´t get my HD5450(Sapphire) to work on my MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) mobo! The screen stays blank but the PC boots up and loads Windows.
The HD5450 works fine on other mobos with different PSU´s ranging from 350 - 600 watts, but when trying different PSU´s on the 945GCM5-F V2 it doesn´t seem to help. I´ve also tried different bios settings, I´ve cleared CMOS, I´ve tried both dvi and vga outputs, I´ve disconnected as much as possible from the mobo except from the graphics card and the PSU, but nothing seems to help!
Any ideas , someone?
Tekrar!

Thanks for all replies!
I had this question on the AMD forum (AMD Game » AMD Technology » Radeon Graphics » MSI mobos and ATI graphics card incompability!) and here are some of the replies:
"Well, its a known issue that older chipsets, like even AMD 580X chipset, doesn't work with 5k/6k series cards without a bios update from the manufacturer of the board.
If its not working / posting / no video ect... You need to bug MSI to update the bios on the board to support the newer 5k/6k video cards. It may or may not happen. Several manufacturers have like Asus, and Gigabyte."
"Same problem. 5450, MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2). Done the same plus updated msi mainboard bios using msi live update 5 etc. Waiting for reply from makers of graphics card and mainboard.
I should add from what I've read in other threads and forums it seems to be an old mainboard problem not just related to the MSI 945GCM5-F V2. Some other manufacturers of mainboards have sent customers bios upgrades to get their cards working.
As for your pci express version question. Well these problems seem to emerge when people have plugged these pci express version 2.1 cards into their pci express 1st generation slots. What exactly the problem is here? Leave that for manufacturers/experts to answer."
"Tek , its hit or miss on the board + chipset combination on if the card will work or not. Sometimes they will work in old boards, Sometimes they will not w/o manufacturerer support.
Its completely random from what I've seen on the forums at the times they were released , when people with old boards were asking why it wasn't working. And what they did to solve it. Most all of them emailed the manufacturer. Some of those said manufactureres provided beta bios back to the customers, some said your out of luck."
Its true, this MSI MS-7267 (945GCM5-F V2) isn´t a new mobo, but when I get the 5450 to work without problem with an even older fujitsu mobo (last bios update long time ago) and a 350 watts PSU I think something´s wrong.
So, a bios upgrade would probably fix it if the manufacturer (in this case MSI) just wanted to!
Tekrar!

MSI Neo2-FR Power (JFP1 and JFP2) connectors

Hi,
The MSI Neo2-FR manual on page 2-16 list the pin assignments for the front panel switches and LEDs.
Questions: Are the white wires considered the negative wires and the color ones considered the positive ones?
Does anyone know if the illustrations used on page 2-16 of the MSI Neo2-FR motherboard manual have any errors in them, such as, incorrect label of positive and negatives pins?

They forgot to give the polarity for the power led in the manual for JFP1 and JFP2. If you look very closely at the colored plastic around the pins on either connector the + pins are marked with a + in the plastic.
And as Del UK said normally white or black is negative and colors are positive.
