MSI new MB version : K8N Neo 4 Platinum

You can find an anouncement about K8N Neo 4 platinum imminent release on MSI Website but no specs at all.
What do you think : Is it The MSI MB with Nforce4 (PCI Express) ?

  • MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. DOn´t boot

     
    I have a problem with my MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum.  Yesterday I started to mount my computer and when I finished to install everything the computer does not bind.  It swims happens, the Motherboard this not obtaining to receive energy  .  Until my Power Supply it is not functioning, does not receive energy!  Somebody has some Idea of that it can be happening?  Power Supply:  Seventeam ST-420bkv Processor:  Athlon 3000+ venice.  OBS:  All the components are new.

    Well it wasnt the battery
    The one I pulled from the board was reading 2.68v, the new one is reading 3.17v, but the problem remains :((
    BUT, I discovered if I hold the case power button in while switching the PSU on fom the back that the CMOS details are fine after all?!?! Not pressing the case power button results in the no boot problem. Maybe the switching that disables the battery when the AC is on is broke ???
    Its a weird one alright but I can live with it till my next upgrade - which wont be MSI - too many bugs. I have a Gigabyte board in my second PC and its rock solid, dual BIOS and never had a single problem with it - maybe that or ASUS next time round )
    Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
    Would still like to know what the flashing led error is though?? 
    many thnx for all the input guys.
    g2k.

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

    A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did.  When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
    It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
    Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
    If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life.  Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine.  Start with CPU and memory?
    Good luck.

  • MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum motherboard extra firewire ports?

    I'm installing an MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum motherboard into my case and although I don't need them right now, I would like to be able to access the extra firewire ports. Does anyone know the best way to get ahold of the MSI motherboard 1394 connectors for J1394_1 / J1394_2 option?
    I have the D bracket with the LED's and two extra USB connectors but I don't have the firewire connector. I have USB ports and audio ports on the front of my case which I will use, but no firewire connector, but there is a place for one, just no connector/wires or hardware. Also what is the difference between those two connectors shown in the picture of the optional firewire that appears in the owners manual? They have a different shape.
    Where can I get one? I don't need the proprietary peice if I can use something else.

    Fireware ports are faster for example external drives will be fastest 1394 rather than usb2.
    there are many companies doing drive bays which can add ports to your current case see Front Port Extension Unit however you need to decide what exactly you want,
    The example shown passes through case & connects to rear ports.
    I prefer ones hich connect to the mobo risers leaving rear ports free, however you then have the complexity of matching the pin outs so that it works with your system. Remember it's not like tring to boot, you may not get a 2nd chance if you miswire connection. . If you can find them the best connectors are those with single pin leads, where each individual wire has its own plug so that you can match it to the mobo's pin out diagram for the particular port.
    luck

  • 250GB harddisk work in MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum

    Hi!
    I have a pair of WD 250GB SATA2 16MB cache harddisks (WD2500KS).
    Currently they don't work in my Asus A8N-SLI DLX (BIOS messes up LBA and CHS setting with them)
    (smaller 120 and 160 GB hdds work flawlessly in that mobo)
    So i am considering to switch to MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum.
    can anyone confirm these babies would work in that mobo?
    Are there any known issues with higher capacity harddisks on MSI nforce 4 boards ?
    also i hear that the chipset fan is very noisy. Is that true?
    The other option would be the Abit A8N Ultra which has the heatpipe design but i am not so comfortable with Abit, since there are too mayn rumors about them.
    Any ideas?

    not heard any thing with nvidia
    there is a thing with some via

    silicon image SIL3132 controller that If there was no drive connected to the controller, the system wouldn't complete the POST
    not heard of that one.
    But it's easily sorted :-

    OnBoard Sil3132 RAID
    This setting controls the onboard Sil3132 RAID chip. Setting options: [Enabled],
    [Disabled].
    OnBoard Sil3132 Mode
    This setting allows you to select either SATA and RAID mode for the onboard

  • MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Clarification of SATA

    Hi Folks!
    Just some clarification from you guys in the know.
    I have an MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Mboard. The specs say it will run SATA drives and am looking to upgrade.
    Now from shooping around for price i was presented with three options.
    SATA 150 , SATA 300 and SATA II
    I have worked out that SATA 300 and SATA II are superior to the 150 but is my board capable of running any of the three or is my choice limited.
    My motherboard specs just show that it is SATA compatible but no further info.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Q-Tex, All your nVidia SATA ports [1-4] are SATA II 300 mb/s and the Silicon Image SATA ports [5-8] are SATA I 150 mb/s. SATA II drive brands to consider are: Seagate, Samsung, Hitachi, WD [I know from personal experience that Seagate 's work]. I belive that there are still issues with Maxtors. If buying drives from retailer with a high turn over you will get a drive with the latest firmware [has the bugs worked out] and if you buy a drive that doesn't have the latest firmware it's not the end of the world - you can get a firmware upgrade if neccesary.

  • MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum Smart CPU Fan reports 0 rpm ?

    Hi
    I have a MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum (MS-7125) motherboard with an Athlon 64 3700+ CPU and an Arctic Cooling Silencer Ultra 64 HSF.
    In the BIOS setup, in the 'Monitor H/W' area you can set something called the 'Smart CPU Fan Target'.
    o  If I set this to disabled, it reports a fan speed of about 2,280 rpm.
    o  If I set it to 40°C, it reports a fan speed of 0 rpm !  (the fan is turning)
    The MSI Core Center utility and Everest Ultimate also both report the fan speed as 0 rpm.
    I assume that if I disable Smart CPU Fan, the fan always rotates at max. rpm; if I set it to 40°C, the fan runs at a slow speed until the temperature exceeds 40°C, at which point it speeds up (likewise if I set it to 50°C or 60°C).  However, the fan IS turning.
    Can anyone explain this ?  I would like the reassurance of having the CPU HSF speed reported.
    Incidentally , the PSU is an Akasa AK-P460FG
       (3.3v = 30A, +5v = 30A, +12v1 = 14A, +12v2 = 15A)

    Very old post yes but I feel the need to reply anyway because I have the same problem myself.
    Very strange and would be nice to hear if any more of ya guys out there can see the same.

  • K8N Neo 2 Platinum Computer just...stopped working! Help needed please.

    Hey all. About hmm, a month ago I built myself a new PC (first time I'd done it from scratch and got some useful help here) Specs were:
    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum, A64 3200+ Venice, 1GB DDR Corsair Value, Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb, 40GB Hard Disk IDE, 80GB Hard Disk IDE, CD R/RW Drive and a Tagan 420W (23A 12V+) PSU.
    Ok, it worked the day I built it just fine and has NO hick-ups or any indication of a problem for the past month. Running temperature was very cool etc. Now, I last turned it on about 24 hrs ago, downloaded some PDF files, shut it down. All was fine. Woke up this morning. Pressed the power button: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. ZIp. No hum, fan movement, anything.
    Now, considering it seems to have broken whilst being turned off. What could be the problem? So far I've tried:
        * Using a different power socket
        * Using a different plug
        * Reconnecting the power switch and motherboard power connectors
    None of those worked. There wasn't a thunderstorm or anything so I don't think any kind of surge would have been the problem. I havn't tried manually shorting the power switch connectors. What's a safe way to do that? Any other suggestions? How can I test my PSU is infact doing something?
    Thanks

    Try the easy way first, disconnect every cable from the back of the computer. Do a CMOS clear/normal as instructed in the manual. Connect the display(with power off), keyboard and power cable. Turn on PSU, press power switch, if it fires up, press and go into bios and do your settings, save and exit. Power off and connect the rest of your external stuff. Power up.

    No luck :( Is it likely that my PSU has fused/broken in some way since I'm getting no response or fan movement?

  • K8N Neo 4 Platinum 1.8bios any try?

    K8N Neo 4 Platinum  1.8bios  any try?
    better 1.3? 1.6? oc and stableand less bug...anyone try this?

    After using the 1.6 BIOS for quite some time (ref. to my signature) I am testing the 1.8 BIOS now for some days. It was introduced in the German MSI forum (here) some days ago and also other people already reported their first experiences:
    - works fine
    - some more options in the BIOS are available (e.g. disabling seeking for a floppy, RAID on all IDE drives + SATA drives)
    - however, only 4 memory dividers (100/133/166/200) available in 1.8 MSI final; some hidden options are available in the 1.8 MODBIOS from MurdoK (download 1.8 MOD BIOS here ) 
    - 6 memory dividers available in 7125XMOD18 BIOS thanks to MurdoK (download 1.8 XMOD BIOS here) (I have not tried this XMOD BIOS yet!)
    - does not solve the "219 BUG" for Winchester CPUs.
    - USB2.0 works fine, in contrast to some 1.7x BIOS versions
    In fact, I have not found major advantages for my rig, however, it seems to be also not worse than the 1.6 BIOS, what I used before. So I continue to stick to it!

  • Please help! K8N Neo 2 Platinum instability problems

    Hi!
    At the fall of last year I bought new computer parts for a new system, the heart of it being a MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. Ever since then I have had some instability problems. I tried for a while to fix them, but after a while lost the energy and have just accepted them. Now, however, I want to give this forum a try for help. The instability is irritating and I've been thinking of returning the motherboard.
    The system consists of:
    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
    2 x 512 MB Kingston Hyper X PC3200
    AMD Athlon 64 3200+
    Gainward Geforce 6600GT AGP
    Trust 514DX 5.1 Sound Expert Optical
    120 GB Seagate SATA HD
    NEC DVD-RW ND 2510A
    Zalman ZM400A-APF PSU
    Nothing is overclocked. I also have a Terratec TV-card that I never use.
    I'm running Windows 2000. I have the latest BIOS, 1.C.  I have tried many different Nforce drivers, right now I'm running MEI's nWare Release 06.05a.
    The driver for the GPU is 91.28. Every other driver should be the latest there is.
    The problem I have is that the system freezes up in Windows now and then. The "funny" thing is that I can run Memtest 86 for a whole day, Windows memory diagnostic all the way trough and I can play games (most of the time) for hours. I have also had the computer doing video compression for days and days, so I would say that it seems kind of rock solid. The freezes seems to happen (I'm guessing) when there is lots of communication going on over the southbridge. It often happens when the HD is working and the CPU perhaps get loaded at the same time, or for example if I'm ripping data from a DVD and starts doing something CPU heavy at the same time. That is an almost guaranteed recipe for freezing. Sometimes it freezes when I'm doing "nothing", but I guess it might also be when Windows is swapping, or something.
    I remember reading about problems like this before, with other motherboards. I'm thinking that perhaps some BIOS latency thing could fix it. Perhaps a hacked/tweaked BIOS? Or is the motherboard in fact busted and needs to be returned?
    Any thoughts, ideas or tips are welcome. Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

     
    . . . I'd half to agree 100% on what BAS is pointing out . . .  . . . . . 
    ........also, for kakarocht's reply for the matter as well....
    .....{ my opinion = 450w at least of a PSU, and, >>> what BAS is stating about's the 12v line, YES,  BIG  requirement  for your  system's _ component's of } .......

    I have replaced my motherboard as I had thought it originally was a duff BIOS chip as despite reflashing it, it would rarely pass the POST.
    All parts apart from the PSU are the original Kit which had been working for 13 months ish.
    Problem i am experiencing is the D-Bracket 2 Diagnostic LEDs are coming up Red/Amber as opposed to Red/Green and the machine just sits there and never displays anything, hence why BIOS isn't mentioned as I have no idea what version is currently on the BIOS chip.
    I have stripped out down to just CPU and still get the same problem, I then swapped it for a FX53 which I had lying around which I know worked as it came out of my Vapochill chassis and also swapped out for some OCZ PC3700 512MB EB Dual Channel Platinum 3-3-2-8.. still no joy.
    Any ideas greatly appreciated as I don't want to rebuild my machine as it is exactly how I wanted it I feel I have checked everything but maybe someone can shed a little light.
    Anyone want a spare mboard or two ?? I now have three !

    Your Tagan's behavior was typical of a failing PSU... but the Turb-Cool model you mention doesn't exist at the PCP&C web site; in fact there are a total of five other 510 models, some of which have only an 8-pin CPU power connector, so it's impossible to figure which one you have.  Does your PSU have a 4- or 8-pin CPU power connector and, if the latter, how do you have it connected to the mbrd?  The only 8-pin CPU power connector I've seen could not be connected to a 4-pin socket, which your mbrd has... or does your mbrd have both 4- and 8-pin?
    The only other thing I'd remark is that Vista will not run satisfactorily with your nForce3 mbrd and an ATI video card.

  • K8N NEO 2 Platinum sometimes doesn't initialise the keyboard and mouse

    I got a K8N NEO 2 Platinum for christmas, and everytime it reboots (fine when you turn it on fresh), it produces the shortest of bleeps, and doesn't initialise the keyboard and mouse. The only way to do anything then is to go for the power button and windows xp shuts down. It is still responding, just the bios hasn't initialised the keyboard and mouse.
    Anyone know anything about this, and how to solve it?

  • Buying a K8N Neo 4 Platinum mobo - need some answers

    Hi,
    First post here, so I should say I did a search and did actually read the stickys.
    Like I said, I'm getting the MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum and need to know:
    1. Does it support NCQ?
    2. Can I use  "PDP SYSTEMS Memory Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB (512MBx2) DDR PC-3200, Model PDC1G3200LLK" with it?
    (And have it working @ 2-3-2-5-T1 Dual Channel like it should without OC)
    2.1 Can I use 4 dimms of this memory without going down to 333mhz?
    3. I'll also get a 6600GT, DVD-RAM,DVD-ROM, 200GB HD - which PSU I should go with?
    I wanted to get a TT410W, but heard I should go with "Enermax 350W EG365P-VE FMA 20/24Pin Power Supply" because it gives higher 12V rail power.
    I dont plan on doing OC
    Thanks in advance for your answers, and sorry about my english.

    Chrisss,
    I think that Tiresmoke's point is that your statements aren't productive, I don't see a history of you trying to ask any of the well versed vetrans here for any help regarding the stability of your system, or inherent problems with the mobo in question. You also don't even list the components that make up your system in your signature which might allow someone to help you without you even asking a valid question.
    Statements like this; "I have so many stability issues it's not even funny. I have not overvlocked anything and the PC crashes randomly." simply aren't meaningful without knowing the pertenent facst surrounding your issues. Furthermore, the problems you have may have nothing whatsoever to do with the motherboard.
    Sixth, this is a good motherboard for your stated needs, I run the SLI version and have nothing but positive things to say about it. I did extensive research before buying this product, and it really paid off, this is a great motherboard.
    Actually yes i did ask: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=75700.0 But only one person helped me. It could be that the SLI version is more stable. Just read the posts. there are a lot of people with issues with the K8N Neo4 Platinum. Not too many with the SLI. So it's not only me.

Maybe you are looking for
