bejon2000,
Good point bejon,
I re-read the article and this what it says: " ....If you remember, older Athlon 64 processors based on 130nm cores didn’t support 4 double-sided DDR400 SDRAM modules working at 400MHz frequency at all and reduced their frequency to 333MHz automatically. The today’s processors based on 90nm cores offer us a few better solutions. The D core revision also known as Winchester allows using four double-sided DDR400 memory DIMMs if the Command Rate timing is set to 2T."
From what you posted the Winnie D core CPU may need a little TLC and voltage boost. but it should run 4 X double sided 512 sticks at DDR 400 and 2T. Venice or later core may not need such TLC or voltage boost but still need manual  selections in BIOS Cell menu.
Thanks for pointing this out,

  • MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum - Freezing Issue during games

    First off greetings to everyone on these forums...
    I purchased the MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum motherboard from NewEgg back at the end of March to compliment the AMD 64 "Winchester" processor that I also purchased at that time to replace a slightly older AMD XP "Barton" system that was using the Abit NF7-S motherboard. For the past month I have been fighting an unusual and highly irritating issue that I have noticed during game play and have tried everything that I know of and more in an attempt to remedy this issue, but to no avail. This is the general background of the situation and now I will descibe in greater detail as to what this issue I am referring to is and the symptoms of this issue and some of the various methods used to remedy this issue.
    The issue is that while play a game the system experiences a short 5-10 second freeze during the game randomly, but usually several times an hour. During this freezing the sound would loop and as suddenly as the freeze occurs it would cease and the game would continue on as if nothing happened. However, sometimes this would result in the system freezing outright after this short 5-10 second freeze... but it does not feel like a total system freeze, but rather a video freeze as the sound continues and I still have keyboard control... but this does require me to force a manual reboot of the machine itself. I have scowered the internet and various forums in an attempt to find what the issue was and use various methods to remedy this issue, but so far nothing has worked in my favor... but it does seem like this issue has been plaguing other users with the MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Below are some of the methods that I have used in an attempt to solve this issue:
    *Default Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU; Over/Under Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU
    *Increased voltages to CPU VID, AGP, and Memory
    *Disabled/Enabled AGP Fast Writes
    *Increased AGP Aperture from 64MB to 512MB
    *Enabled/Disabled ATI/nVidia Speedup option in BIOS
    *Forced AGP clock lock to 66-67mhz
    *Relaxed/Aggressive memory timings
    *APIC enabled/disabled
    *Gate A20 turbo/normal
    *Disabled all unneeded onboard components (Realtek NIC, Sound, SATA)
    *Disabled nVidia MAC and attempted to use 3Com Gigabit PCI card instead
    *Swapped HDD Cables
    *Tried PCI Sound Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) in PCI Slots 3/4
    *Tried video drivers from 71.89 Official to 76.45 beta modified drivers
    *Tried 5.10 official nForce drivers to remixed 7.02 nForce drivers (5.10 drivers uses 4.36 GART, higher drivers uses the 4.40 GART)
    *Applied all the latest updates from Windows Update Website
    *Reinstalled Operating System (Windows XP SP2) 5 different times clean with various settings (APIC on/off, etc...) and different drivers.
    *Installed Audio Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) with older and the latest drivers available from Creative's website
    *Replaced PSU (Previously was a Thermaltake 420watt PSU, 18A +12v) with a OCZ Modstream 520watt PSU (28A +12v)
    *Video card is KNOWN working from previous build (AMD XP 3000, Abit NF7-S)
    *Hard Drive is KNOWN working from previous build
    *CD/DVD-ROM drive is kNOWN working from previous build
    *Heat is not an issue... all components temperature is well below rated level, the only unknown is the chipset temperature (it has a active heatsink and seems to not be hot to the touch, applied AS5 to it anyway)
    *Used latency tweak to the video card
    *Used Rivatuner to force constant performance level
    *Tweaked BIOS to force even clock rates and forced 1.4v to the GPU Core
    *Used original GPU BIOS
    *Used MSI Neo2 K8N Bios 1.4 - 1.8 and modified BIOS 1.8
    *No background applications are running (not even antivirus)
    *Used application to force maximum refresh rates for my monitor
    *Memory passed MemTest86+ for over 24 hours
    *System passed Prime95 and SuperPi for over 24 hours
    *System seems stable in all non gaming related applications
    *Checked through various troubleshooting procedures
    *Disabled SBDRVDET.EXE using MSCONFIG
    *There are no IRQ conflicts outside of PCI system management sharing IRQ11 with the NIC and USB... in APIC there are no IRQ conflicts what so ever. Regardless neither method worked
    *Installed AMD 64 drivers from AMD
    *Disabled DEP in boot.ini
    *...and many other various tweaks and modifications.

    I have been fighting this issue for well over a month now and I am frankly nearly out of ideas, this does not necessarly prevent me from playing games, but this does interfere with the games I do play (especially online games). I do demand absolute stability from the games that I play and this issue only began AFTER I upgraded to the new motherboard, processor, and memory. The only thing I have not tried is something that I do not have access in attempting on this motherboard, and that is increasing the voltage to the chipset.
    Here is my theory on what is going on is that I believe is there is a fault with the chipset on this motherboard and this is manifesting itself while I am playing various games on this system. Of course I would like to try increasing the voltage to the chipset as that would increase stability, but there is no option in BIOS to increase the chipset voltage like the previous motherboard I had (Abit NF7-S). It is possible that either a) the chipset is at fault and is causing me this issue or b) the chipset is not recieving enough voltage.
    My question to the rest of you is this, what do you think the problem is and what ideas do you have that I may try that I have not tried yet. Additionally if there is nothing else that I may try should I attempt to RMA this motherboard and will that help, and is there any other versions of this motherboard that I should be aware of. I would appreciate any response from a MSI representative and any comments from those that may have positive suggestions for my issue. Thank you in advance for your time and any help that you may be able to render.

    *EDIT* Added additional methods attempted... (there was a lot... so I did not remember everything that I have tried)

    Does it only happen in online games, or can it happen in all games? One thing to make sure of is to turn off CRC checksum offload in your NVidia MAC properties (everyone do this, it is incorrectly calculating checksums which leads to servers ignoring your packets). However as you have tried a different network card you can discount this theory.
    For me it looks like the biggest culrpit is your 6800NU, i have read alot of bad things about the NU and you have a low bios revision there, just because it worked well against your old chipset doesnt mean it will work well against your current chipset. Sounds like a BIOS fix is needed as some timing is out somewhere.
    Ensure Spread Spectrum is off (and as you have already pointed out Fast writes, ATI NV Speedup) and your card is running at default clock.
    As a test beg/borrow/steal another graphics card (preferably nvidia) and see how it goes so you can narrow in on your video card.
    It is not just one game, but it is more prodominate in certain games than others... the game in question here is Planetside... though I stuck a demo of Unreal Tournament 2004 on a loop bot match and it seemed to have locked up after 4 hours (not sure how many times it experienced that 5-10 freeze as I went to bed). As for the video card it was KNOWN working from a previous build in those same games (Previous build was a AMDXP3000 and a Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard). The only components different in this build is the AMD64, the MSI Neo2 K8N, 2 new sticks of Corsair XMS to replace the Corsair ValueSelects, and the SB Audigy2 as I would never use a software codec audio solution. Spread Spectrum is LOCKED in BIOS and disabled... ATI/nVidia speed up was disabled from the start... and I tried the Video Card at default clock, over clocked, as well as under clocked and the same issue resulted... as I said before it is NOT the video card.
    There are two other things I could try is use my old Geforce4ti 4200 and see what happens... or even try out WindowsXP 64-bit edition as someone earlier suggested. I wish I could find a new BIOS for my XFX 6800NU, but there there is only the revision 1 BIOS that I was able to find. The mystery continues...

    Don't know if this helps, but your getting it anyway
    When installing windows don't have any Hard drives in front of your raid array, assuming that's where your putting your OS . Unplug them whilst windows is installed. This is due to the fact that windows places %systemdrive% as the first drive it sees (e.g 1'st master) , meaning it will be C: and hosts the os boot files .
    (Taken from Syar2003)
    Therefore if installing your raid on Sata 3/4 unplug all IDE Hard Drives plus SATA 2/3.
    Once windows is installed Plug 'em all back in

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G BIOS problem

    I recently bought a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum-54G mainboard with W7025NMS v1.3  092204 revision of BIOS.
    AMD Athlon64 3000+ 939 is installed on the mainboard, with 2x512 GEIL PC3200 memory modules in dual channel configuration working on default frequency of 200MHz. CPU is recognized correctly as AMD Athlon64 3000+ on startup.
    Mainboard’s BIOS seems to be corrupted. In Cell Menu options, in the upper left part of the screen (printed blue) are processor and DDR working timings:
    Current CPU Clock 1810MHZ, Current DDR Clock 200MHz.
    Aggressive Timings and Dynamic Overclocking values are [Disabled] (processor working on its defaulf settings); Spread Spectrum is [Disabled] while all DRAM Configuration settings are set to [Auto].
    While entering HT frequency settings, (locked to [x5])  there are no other values to select – empty, and there is no way to leave it (ESC doesn’t help, the only thing possible to do is to reset the computer by pressing the Reset button on the chassis), but  the HT frequency settings were enabled when I loaded Fail-Safe settings, offering [1x], [1.5x], [2x], [2.5x], [3x], [4x], [5x].
    Adjust CPU Ratio settings offer only [StartUp], [x4]~[x9] values, but as I understood by reading the manual there should be [StartUp], [x4]~[x20].
    CPU Voltage, Memory Voltage and AGP Voltage are set to default.
    CPU-Z, as well as SiSoft Sandra 2004 and SiSoft Sandra 2005 and MSI CORE CELL show that processor works at a core speed ~1005MHz, showing multiplier locked on x5.0 and HTT locked at ~200MHz, while the voltage is ~1.05V!
    I downloaded the latest BIOS revision (v1.4), did the BIOS flash, but the problem remains!
    Anybody, help!

    HT frequency
    is a known fault in bios & is easily sorted Bas HT Bios Error

    CPU Ratio settings
    AMD64 CPOU's have a lock on CPU ratios which varies according to the specification of the chip. therefore the multiplier available in your bios stops at the max multiplier allowed by amd for your cpu.
    As an example i'm running a 3200 754 which has a maximum muliplier of 11 so that is the max i see in bios.

    foxie,
    My first 865PE Neo2 FIS2r board had BIG problems with on-board LAN, didnt work at all most of the time. No systemcrashes but you could not connect to Internet or LAN.
    But since a PCI networkcard work OK, it wasn´t difficult to RMA it to my lockal computershop. They got the same result. I got a new board that work perfect.

  • MSI NEO2 and Asus v9999GT problems

    Hi,
    well my problem is when the Asus v9999GT is installed i boot windows up but it just keeps restarting or blue screening(i see the desktop then it restarts*if i dont get a blue screen that is) It usely takes 4-5 restarts before windows finally starts. Ive reinstalled the comp 4 times trying to fix the problem but had no luck finally i reinstalled the comp with my 9000 Pro II and no more restarting no more blue screening windows starts normally. But thats not a fix i bought the new card and im not going to let $530 go down the drain. It seems to me its the NEO 2 that does not like the Asus, i try the asus in my old comp and everything works fine.
    Is there a fix coming up, i know others who have the same problem
    btw its not the ram i did a memtest and no errors
    AMD 3500+
    MSI Neo 2
    1Gb Geil RAM CAS2.53-3-7
    Asus v9999
    Windows SP2

    I don't think it's PSU related caused by the gfx card if
    it is the asus 9999GT/TD . As this is a 6800 board with GT core clock
    and 128M DDR1 memory.
    And in 2D windows it should use estimatly 20W .
    :Xbitlabs
    The NVIDIA GeForce 6800 eats less energy than the GeForce GT as it has lower frequencies and the GPU voltage . As a result, without overclocking, the card consumes 16.96W(10w on +12v) in the Idle mode(2D) and 38.88W in the Burn mode(3D).
    Real GT:
    23w in idle mode and 53w in burn mode(3D) .
    So it consumes something between those two i guess.
    If you suffer from restarts in only in windows (2D) your gfx card don't use
    any more power than your R9000 in 3D does (which worked running games i guess).
    But if you didn't run/test the 9000 in any burn mode or 3dmark , it might
    be PSU tipping over afterall.
    Could be some drivers/sw causing it.
    Try to edit your boot.ini file and turn off DEP
    Edit noexecute switch it to be like this:
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect

  • MSI K8N NEO2 Plantinum 54g, Fails to Boot.

    It has only been problems.  
    HK: MSI K8N NEO2 Plantinum 54g
    CPU: AMD64 3200 Winchester
    PSU: CWT 350 W 12=16A , Chieftech 360W 12=18A.
    RAM: Corsair PC3200 XL Pro, have been testing with other corsair and Kingmax.
    I have been trouble shooting for about 14 Hours now. But the pc just dont want to work. The thing that happens is that i turn it on. Then it turns it self off randomly. Sometimes after 5 sec hen 20 sec then 15 sec ect ect. I cant even get into Bios. Well have been into it for about 1 sec , doesnt help much.
    I could think it is the ram but it works in other computers so does the powers. But if I use the Xl Pro Ram then the screen is showing and it lasts never more than 20 sec. With other Ram it goes forever but i get no picture on monitor. And the speacker goes like Beeeeep, Beeeep Beeeeeep, Beeeeeep Beeeeeep. I have Flashed the bios to the 1.3 version, with Hotswap. But it didnt help much.  
    And by the way the Zalman CNPS7000BCU its metall backplate does not damage the HK because the hole under is to Big.

    Hi !
    Well, I have that problem, too. I think the reason is a new RAID-BIOS-Version built in the BIOS-Update. I´ve tried the beta-versions V1.51 and V1.5X, too - but they won´t run anyway.
    My WinXp hangs while booting (before the WINDOWS-XP-Logo appears, or while fading in...). I cannot reinstall Windows completely because, when I install the 2 raid-drivers, the installation routine hangs before the licensetext - when I don´t install the drivers i cannont install on the raid-drive (beacuase the installation routine shows 2 hdds).
    I think, a new driver will solve this problem, but I don´t know where to find it....

  • K8n neo2 Plat 54G, allround WLAN card

    Does someone know if the WLAN PCI card provided with
    the k8n neo2 Plat 54G will work in any other PCI slot
    on any other motherboard? Reason I ask is the orange
    colour slot on k8n Neo2, which is 'reserved' for the
    WLAN PCI card, hints to be some kind of conditional slot?
    I have a wireless network at home, but not using the k8n
    wirelessly, but some other boxes could.

    Sorry to bring up an old thread, but figured someone might have use of this info.
    As an update, a good while back I put this WLAN card in an ECS VIA KM266 board, seemed to work, but was not too pleased with its performance or the SW MSI had along with this card. So I used another wireless solution instead.
    Today decided to see if any new drivers around for this card.
    The wireless chip on this card is a RT2500 by RaLink.
    Looked up at their website and found driver version 3.2.0.0, date 26-Oct-2007.
    http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Windows.html
    This driver appear to work OK, the connection stays up, even at weak transmission conditions. The speed is not amazing but works. I assume it works reasonably well under good signal conditions.
    EDIT: new version posted, version 3.2.0.10, date 12-Feb-2009.

  • MSI KSN Neo2 USB floppy boot problem

    Hi all,
    I've just put together a PC using the MSI K8N Neo2 to replace my gigabyte. I've got an option on these boards (nforce3) to boot from a USB floppy and did so several times with the gigabyte (memtest and 6800ultra bios flash). For some reason however, the MSI refuses to do so. I get to POST and then I get a "detecting IDE drives...." and that's it. The machine freezes. I can't F10 or DEL, I have to Ctrl, Alt Del and pull out the floppy before it will post. I've done the obvious things like 1st in Boot order, floppy seek etc, as far as I'm aware everything's the same as the gigabyte. If I plug it in once in windows, it's recognised and works fine. Any suggestions would be very welcome.  
    Many Thanks in advance.

I have tried to reset with jumpers, different cables with differend harddrives. Different memory slots. Tonight different memories. Motherboard and prosessor is 1 day old every else is from my old computer which was 2000+ Athlon with epox via kt333. Don't know what to test anymore and I don't have any spare parts to test what is broke or is it just memories? but why it don't hang on memory test etc.

  • MSI P35 Neo2-FR S3/USB Problems & Remote Desktop Video Problem

    I recently received a new board back from RMA (my old one wouldn't post at all) and decided to re-install Windows XP back on it after verifying that it was working, and now I'm having a few issues with the board that were fine and working with the old board.
    Firstly, I used to wake the system up from sleep using my USB keyboard when hitting "enter". Now it won't wake up with usb, and occasionally when waking it up with the power button, either my mouse or keyboard will not respond (both are USB). I then need to put the system back to sleep using the power button (I have xp set to sleep when pushed) and wake it up again to get the USB devices working. I have re-installed Windows XP, changed the ACPI BIOS settings to wake up using all devices, enabled/disabled legacy USB, downgraded the BIOS to 1.8 which I was running on my old board, and tried every USB slot on the board, all while running the exact same hardware that was on my previous board. Any help?
    Secondly, I have the board/windows set to wake from S3 when attempting to reach it remotely. I can login fine, but when I get home to check the system, the screen is black. It's still running, and I can reach it again through RDC, but I can't seem to wake it up locally. The only way to correct the screen is by hitting the power button to put it to sleep, and then hitting it again to get it out of S3. This seems like a videocard issue, and I have tried using older versions of the nvidia driver but I always seem to have the same problem. Oddly, when I run tests at home using my laptop everything is fine and the video is displayed after logging off, but it seems to only be happening when I'm using it from my work computer. I would need to run some more tests to verify this though, and I assume that after some time using my laptop it would do the same thing. (the tests were run going outside of the lan and coming back in, from an S3 state). Video card drivers I tried were, 178.24 (oct. 15th), 178.13 (sep. 25th), 175.16 (may 13th).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    MSI Neo2-FR (BIOS 1.9 & 1.8)
    Core2Quad Q6600
    Geforce 8800GT
    Mushkin 2x1GB 9200 (running at 1066)
    Antec Neo HE 550 watt PS
    Windows XP Pro SP3

    Thanks for the reply kourosh. I have used both the 1.9 (latest) and downgraded to the 1.8 BIOS that I was using on the board pre-RMA as stated in my initial post. It just doesn't make sense that I had everything working properly with the old board, and with the new board that I received back from MSI, things just don't work. I'm using the exact same hardware and have done multiple re-installs with different drivers etc.
    I doubt that part two is a networking problem as I stated in my initial post that I'm testing by going outside of the LAN and coming back in from outside. I think it has more to do with waking it up remotely multiple times (eg. wake up remotely-->sleep-->wake up again-->sleep again-->possible black screen error), but I haven't had the time to do all of the testing.
    I just find it strange that these things are not working as they were, and I'm beginning to blame the board again as I know how they SHOULD be working on the same exact board.
    Anyway... thanks again for the reply.

  • MSI NEO2 Platinum, problem with mouse Genius PS2 optical

    Hello,
    I have a MSI NEO2 Platinum motherboard with a mouse Genius optical PS2. When the S.O. init the mouse is not detected, I unplug and plug again the PS2 port and the mouse work perfectly ! ... The mouse is working perfectly, I test it in another PC, the problem is the motherboard !
    The same situation is on Windows XP Professional and Linux Ubuntu 5.10.
    Please help me, thanks for your attention !
    Raúl.

    Raúl,
    The PS2 slot is NOT a hot plug! If you remove and reinstall it while there is power to the mobo you stand a very good chance of destroying the PS2 Slot.
    Take Care,
    Richard

  • MSI NEO2 P35 FIR on E8400 C0 problem

    Good afternoon.
    Why on my mainboard msi neo2 P35 fir (v1.0),after I have updated bios 1.7 (1.9,1.10)I cannot raise up voltages of processor???
    i can atjust only from 1.5volt to 1.9volt??? but i want do a little overlock of my e8400 C0 and raise up voltages to 1.2v or 1.3v...
    all people who have e8400 have same problem...but who have quad core all is good, they can atjust from 1.2volt to 2.0volt
    so pls fix up 1.10 vesrion of bios or what 

    "Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU.  After that load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS."
    1. after that INTEL EIST is Enabled and now default cpu voltages 1.22v ,and i can set from 1.24 to 2.0125v..and  there is no AUTO mode...(auto mode only in memory voltage and VTT voltage)
    2. and after intel eist is enabled i can set cpu clock ratio this option is disabled.....
    3. and i still cannot set cpu voltage to 1.14 1.15 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.19 1.20
    4 when intel eist is disabled default cpu voltages is 1.500v but all utilities like CPUZ show 1.135 cpu voltages its ok , but when EIST is enabled default voltages are 1.22v and all utilities show that tempreture is 1.200v...its not ok...
    or if i dont want to overclock my cpu i must set eist disabled ? and if i want to overclock cpu i must set eist enabled...and after that set cpu voltages to 1.2v or more...yes or no? ;/ and why if eist enabled clock ratio option is disabled? only way its manually set fsb clock,or its should be like that?

  • 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.
