MSI P965 Neo and Noctua NH-U12F or Scythe Infinity 1000

I'm running MSI P965 Neo as the title says and now when I've began O/C:ing I need a better cooler than the Intel Stock Fan for my E6600. Anyone knows if you can fit a Noctua NH-U12F or Scythe Infinity 1000 without any space problems on this motherboard?

I like massive fan because it's very quiet!
And cheaper I'll go with infinity!

MSI P965 Neo-F mobo and ASUS EAH4850/HTDI 512MB

Hi I have the MSI P965 neo-f motherboard and I am interested in buying a new graphic card for my computer. But I am concerned about compatibility issues of my motherboard with different graphics cards. Currently I am interested in buying the ASUS EAH4850/HTDI 512MB graphic. Does anybody knows if my motherboard will work with this card? Did someone had any issues.
Thanks in advance,
phanosp

Hi NovJoe,
Thanks for the reply. As far I can tell the card is backward compatible with PCI-E 1.0. I just wanted to ask if someone has actually used this card with my mobo to make sure that there are no compatibility issues.
Thanks,

MSI P965 NEO-F and power supplys

Hello, I just bought the MSI P965 NEO-F and Cooler Master iGreen 500W but when, after I unpacked it all and was about to start building, I discovered that in the manual, under the power supply tab, it says that this moderboard requires a power supply that comes with a -5V pin supply. I didn't see that when I looked in the online manual.
However, when I looked in the PSU manual I saw that there should be a -5V pin in pinnr. 20 on the ATX connector. So I was relieved. But when I looked at the ATX connector there was an empty hole where pinnr. 20 were supposed to be. Does that mean that I can't use the power supply with this moderboard?

hmm...you could replace your brand new PSU with another PSU? i don't know in your country, but here, we're allowed to replace bought items (no refund though, just replace) to another item of equal or higher value (but add money for higher value, of course )
i'm using the Hec Winpower 550W PSU on that same motherboard, and is working fine for me.
otherwise, you could go to your local PC store and have them plug everything for you? (here it costs around US $6 to ask someone to assemble everything)

MSI P965 Neo-F and a other problem!

Hi alls!
I have a problem with my MSI P965 Neo-F.In fact when i push the power button i have to wait 5-6 secondes for my pc turn on...
I have the same problem that Er.nest:https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107722.0 (problem number 5)
My PSU is a Seasonic S12 II 500 W
My config is :
Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 2.40Ghz
2 Gb RAM DDR 667 Mhz Corsair(5-5-5-15 @1.85V)
ATI HD 2900 XT 512 Mb
HD Seagate 320 Gb
Thanks...

ok v1.10 .. so we have same version now.. (maybe it will help us to find somthing helpful)
So (i dont know if you know somthing about..let me to refresh about S3).. S3 is one of two most used sleep modes. S3 (STR) - Save to RAM. It save whole your session to RAM, clear the CPU registrers and turn of all devices in computer one by one... only matherboard is powered by minumal voltage of 5V. This is used to refreshing o RAM and keep content "inside". In this state is consuption of computer avg. 4-6W (...PSU). Ok, my problem is ...
When i want to wake my computer up (a do it by pushin power button) ... somthing (and i dont know which part of my machine).. cause frozen of whole machine. Sometimes i get Windows Vista login window (loggin button fully response to mouse move over), if i want to login windows fall into BSOD or all freeze... somtimes i get only black screen.
So .. it seems to be little bit different problem but we both have problems with some kind of turning on...please, try to describe more about your problem. Espesialy informations about other behavior...
for example ... if you using hybernation (possibly S3), if you turning your computer normal by windows option "turn off", if your problems dissapear when you discharge mobo from static charge (disconect power cord, and push power button), if you have other problem with restarts...
i have same problem like you before i come to v1.9 and higher ... so, maybe its only in some setting i made insensible

Msi p965 neo-f and geforce 9600gt

I've got question.
When I look at the spec from my new xfx geforce 9600gt xxx card I see PCIe x16 2.0
Will this card work on my motherboard ? because when I look at the spec of my board I can see that there is 1 PCIe x16 slot and no 2.0
Will it work?

check Amperage on +12V rails (you sum up 2 rails)
Simply adding the amperage values if there are multiple +12V rails is not the right approach to determine the maximal amperage limits for all +12V rails. You cannot simply sum up the two rails. On many PSUs, the combined amperage limit is significantly lower than the sum of the individual rails. Look at this example for instance:
If you add the amperage values on both rails together, you get 34A. However, the limit for both +12V rails (as stated on the PSU sticker) is 250W which can be broken down to 250W / 12V ~ 20.8A. So what we have here is a 20.8A limit on a +12V rail that is split into two individual rails that each have their own amperage limit. You can put 16A or 18A load on the individual rails, but not more that ~20A combined load on both. That means that if the system draws 15A from one of the rails, only ~5A are left for the other one.

coolermaster 400watt psu
He did not mention which model he is referring to, so I am not sure if I checked the correct specs. Here is a link to the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 400W (RS-400-PCAR/PCAP-A3) for comparison:
http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=22&id=3765
As you can see, we have two +12V rails (16A/18A) and a combined limit aif 280W [280W / 12V ~ 23A] ... not 16A + 18A = 34A(!). Of course 23A could be be enough to power a core 2 duo and a 9600GT but we are most probably approaching the limit of the PSU here. He did not mention the number of optical drives, hard drives and fans connected to the system. Each of these devices is powered by the +12V rails as well and will have their share of resources.

MSI P965 Neo-F and Voltage

Hello
I'm french and i need help about my mainboard:MSI P965 Neo-F!
On Speed Fan i can see for the V-Core Value :1.42 v...
But my CPU (Core 2 Duo 6600 @2.40 Ghz) burn so much i want to change the v-core from 1.40 to 1.3V...
But on the bios (1.10 version of 5 July 2007) i don't see any maner to change the v-core value...
Can you help me please?
Thanks

As we already said, your Board does not have a VCore option in BIOS. Therefore it is very unlikely that you will be able to change the Core Voltage using software.
However, you may want to try your luck with one of the following utilitys:
http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml
http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php#about
I seriously doubt that they will help you. I have seen many users asking for ways to change the core voltage on this mainboard in different forums. Until now I do not remember any positive response to this question.
When I look at my VCore values @346 MHz FSB with C1E-Support enabled and VCore set to "Auto" in BIOS, I get numbers between 1.144V (IDLE) and 1.24V (LOAD). I am not sure if there is anything wrong with your CPU and/or board or not, but as long as your core temps stay below 60°C your are on the safe side.
You may try the following if you want:
- disconnect main A/C power cable from PSU
- hit the power-on button a few times to drain capacitors
- press the Clear CMOS button for 3 seconds
After that re-connect PSU, start your system, enter BIOS and load optimized defaults. Go through your BIOS settings and make sure they match your system configuration before your save and exit.
Check with CPU-Z again and see if there are any changes.

Updated: 08/05/07 - MSI P965 Neo-F Latest Official and BETA BIOS!

Dear All,
I've got an info from one of MSI Engineers for the DDR 800MHz RAMs support for MSI P965 Neo-F mainboard.
There'll be a BIOS v1.40 that enables the mainboard to support 1GB DDR 800MHz modules.
Another upcoming BIOS v1.50 will fixed the 2GB limitation on the board, allowing the board to run up to 4GB of DDR 800MHz RAMs.
I'll update this thread on any upcoming details that I can get.
I can't confirm when the BIOS will be officially released so please kindly have the patience to wait.
Best Regards,
Joe Chow.

MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

Hi, all!
I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

MSI P965 Neo PCI-e lock?

Hi!
could any of you tell me whether or not the MSI P965 Neo-F board has an option to lock the PCI-e clock?
My plan is to tweak the FSB to 333 (which implicates a 333/266 = 25% overclock), which I've read is more then easy to obtain with a Core 2 Duo 6300. I just don't wanna ruin the rest of the system by getting a PCI-e busspeed of 125.
So I'm really curious if this board has either a build-in lock @ 100/101, or some option in the BIOS to lock the bus.
Thanks!

well you could just try raising your fsb to 333Mhz and see what happens. done it with mine no problems at all no other tweeking either. lots n lots of people have done the same without a problem.
check out the overclocking and modding forum here, n see for yourself.

P965 NEO and Windows 7 compatibility

Hello everyone
I would like to know if my MSI P965 NEO motherboard is compatible with Windows 7. I've read on the website that it is certified with Windows Vista, but not any mention about Windows 7.
TIA

I have a P965 Neo motherboard and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. It works without any problem.

MSI P965 Neo board failure ?

I have the P965 Neo board running perfect for two years, for a few weeks ago the system didn't startup, a long beep sound came from the MB. I opened the case, checked connectors etc. and replaced the memory modules. After that the system runs ok, no problem occurs for almost three weeks.
For a few days ago, out of the blue, the system didn't startup: error message: "WARNING Have option ROM can not be invoke (Vendor ID: 10Ech, Device ID:8167h)"
I reset the system and it passes the POST, the WINDOWS XP splash screen shows up but after a few seconds the blue progress bar stops.
I reset the system again and now the WINDOWS XP splash screen stays fade out, no progress bar
I reset the system several times, after a few times the system normally boots up and is ok.
I tested the HD with Speedfan Smart utility and it is found ok. Also no virus etc is found. I checked the device manager, no driver problems.
Yesterday the system had the same problems (XP boot blue progress bar stops, sometimes the progress is very slow) but after a few restarts the system boots normal and is ok.
Tonight, after I had opened the case to measure the voltages, I startup the system but no problem occurs. The 12V and 5V are ok
I think I have a hardware problem but I'm doubt what hardware (MB,RAM,PSU,processor) causing this kind of problems.
Can you help me ?
thanks,
Herman

Clear CMOS and try booting the system again.
Was the system like this from Day 1 or this only happens after something has been done?
Thks NovJoe ....
The system had run without any problem for more than 2 years.
I presume I have a connection problem on the MOBO or other hardware. If I place the PC case in the cabinet under my desk, the problem occurs. If I have the PC on the floor there is not any problem. It also happens only when the PC is cold.
I asked my hardware supplier, he suggested to test the hardware with a special self booting hardware test CD. It will cost 40 euro. I searched for such a CD on internet but didn't find one special for MSI boards. Do you know where I can get such a CD ?

MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

Hi,
I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.

I dont know solution ...
i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
so and here is one similiar problem

MSI P965 Neo-F + DDRII 800 TwinX (2x512mb) issue

Hi, ive recently built a new system a couple of days ago and im having a few issues with it... i 'presume' it may have something to do with ram/mobo compatability.
Heres my system, no oc'ing:
MSI P965 Neo-F
1Gb (2X512Mb) Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC6400 (800) @ 5-5-5-18 1.85V (mobo default)
480W power supply
The issue seems to be that during boot up the system loads into windows XP then after about 20-30 secs the system will reboot itself for no reason (no event log), then it kinda has a set of mini reboot fits during POST.
After the system has settled down it will boot into windows XP fine and i have no further issues at all... it runs all my games/apps perfectly.
Can anyone shed any more light on this issue ?

first, stop the board from auto-rebooting, by going to Control Panel , System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, uncheck "Automatically restart". See what the bluescreen error code is. That would help a bit.
