My K8n neo2 wont overclock at all!! plz help...

Hi, I just build my new machine, and after much problems I finally have it up and running at stocks speeds just fine, the problem is that I spent a lot of money buying Top-Brand components so I could overclock a lot, (I like It) but I cant seem to go upweard of 205FSB!! anything above that and the board wont boot at all forcing me to clear the Cmos!! I find this completely unaceptable for this board, being that my last board (an Msi one with nforce2) could overclock and athlon XP 2500+ barton all the way up to a 2800+!! Im really dissapointed at this, if someone could give me a few pointers as to what tweak in the bios (Im using 1.3 right now) it will be very thankful!! ok, my specs are below, thanks!!
Athlon64 3500+ socket 939
Msi k8N Neo2 Platinum with 1.3bios
2+512mb Crucial Ballistix pc3200 cl2
BFG Nvidia Geforce 6800Gt
36gb Raptor Hdd
Enermax 420W power supply
Thanks!!!

I think your problem is your power supply. Check what that MAX amp on your 12V rail.
I have nearly the exact same setup as you do and was unable to overclock the memory without lowering the memory timings much earlier than I expected too. For me I'm able to raise my FSB up to 207 at 2-2-2 timings. The max overclock I achieved was 220 X11 at 2.5-3-3 for a speed of 2420mghz. But it was not completly stable (it would bout but would lock up while gamming). I had expected much better results than this... I bought good memory (Ballistix pc4000) I had a good 480W power supply... my processors ceilling should be around 2.6ghz. After reading this review on Anand Tech I think I found the answer... Athlon 64 Memory: Rewriting the Rules
On page 10 they make the remark that their Antec True Power 465W power suply was limiting their ability to overclock memory.... The Antec True Power is rated to supply 22A on the 12v rail. My power supply is only rated to supply 18A. I bet your 420W is rated even less.
After reading that I fiddled with async overclocking and was stable up to 230FSB... then my hard drive freaked out... I was using sata port 1. I moved the hard drive to SATA port 4, but haven't tried much overclocking since. Maybe if they put out a bios revision that I can adjust the HT on I'll try again. Until them I'm settled for running at 2277mghz.

Zen Micro wont work at all plz help, or im gonna return

When i charged my zen micro, i turned it on, and then it displays the title screen: Creative
Then it just stays there, how long is it supposed to take to load?Message Edited by Kyler on 07-3-2005 05:08 AM

I bought a Black 5GB Micro and after about 3 Weeks it froze. After I rebooted it (removing and reinserting teh battery) it stayed stuck on the Creative logo. Going into rescue mode (holding the power button to the left, taking out the battery, reinserting it and then letting go of the power switch) was useless because it would just freeze when i tried n e of the options. I took it back to the store and they gave me a new one, it's been working great ever since.
So, Short Answer: If rescue mode doesn't work just take it in, it's pooched.

K8N Neo2 Platinum overclocking problem

Quote from: Sharp on 24-April-05, 06:04:48
Hello,
In the BIOS you must set the FSB:DRAM ratio to 1:1.
Set the HTT (hypertransport Ratio to x4)
Set the CPU ratio to x4 (just too see if it will work.)
Set the FSB to 250Mhz
Set the Vcore to 1.45v.
Set the memory timings to SPD (or default values for DDR500)
Set the memory voltage to 2.7v, 2.75v or 2.8v.
Save and exit
Then let it boot from the memtest bootdisk.
Use memtest to see if it is ok, test for a long time, over 1 hour.
http://www.memtest.org/download/1.55.1/memtest86+-1.55.1.floppy.zip
Tight timings and high FSB is even better
I have the same problem I can go as high as fsb 219 without tweaking anything but the FSB. My system is about the same only my ram is ddr 400 so what should my mem volt and timg should be set to?

K8N Neo2 forgets overclocking setting after standby

Just finished assembling my K8N Neo2 Platinum with 90nm 3000+ CPU. It overclocks great up to 270 mhz with stock cooling and
I originally had 1.3 bios and just updated to 1.4 hoping that it will fix it (it mentions that it fixes SATA after standby issue for some drives).... but nope, everything is exactly the same. Does anyone else have this issue? How do you solve it? Does Bios 1.51b fixes this?
Does everybody have the same problem or is it just my board?

I have the Neo Platinum 7030 and thought I was the only one with problems.
I like to put my in hibernation with power off switch and discovered if I turn it back on with the front power switch it comes on for only a few seconds with no video signal and goes off. If I press again it will post with error on screen about checking my overclock settings and I have to press DEL and then F10 to get out with things OK again.
If I turn off my power controller where I have all my stuff attached, cutting of power to the back, it boots properly.
I do not use the S3 but have the S1 with power on after it's been off.

New K8N NEO2 PLAT. and SC-939 3200+ help needed...

Hello,
I have just upgraded my system with K8N Neo2 Plat. and sc-939 3200+ A64 Cpu.
There are several issues I need to resolve which are:
1- Although I change from BIOS the settings for AGP to 4x8x and enable fast writes, I still cant see them turned on from the Catalyst Control Center. Everything is greyed out what can I do? They all used to be on and agp was 8x with my K7N2 Delta board....
2- Although I installed the original drivers from the MSI CD, I couldn't get one of the network prts to install. Realtek installed OK. But other one is defined by the device manager as standart network adapter. What can I do?
3- I am brand new to A64 system so I do not know what setting to use from BIOS can you help me out, for instance there are values for HT such as x3 x4 x5 mine is set to x5? what is this? should I enable cool and quiet, I am not intended to do overclocking. Can you give me some tips for best performance?
My best regards.

Make sure your bios is up to date: version 1.5. Look at the sticky threads and use the information to enable hidden bios features. Disable ATI/NV speedup in the bios. Uninstall your drivers and reinstall. If the information is still greyed out, download the free version of Sandra here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and check the module under video system information. This will tell you if fast writes are enabled and your AGP setting. Leave the HT(hyper-transport) set to 5X unless you plan on oc'ing, if you do oc then may find you'll need to reduce it to 4X or 3X. Try downloading the latest driver for your network from the MSI website. Right click the device in device manager and select update, select specific location then "don't look...I'll choose", direct it to the file where you've unpacked the correct driver and then update.

K8N Neo2 Platinum overclocking - get any better than this?

I know only slightly more than nothing about overclocking, especially when it comes to dividers (what's a divider?) and so far I've managed this stable overclock on the specified CPU (using stock AMD cooling):
But I can't get the memory clock to 400MHz dual channel (yep, I'm using different brands):
Is there any way I can get better overclocking out of this kit? I've been upping the FSB in steps of 5 and 240 eludes me (freeze at Windows boot, but I may be able to creep closer in steps of 1). I haven't tried to improve AGP yet - it's still at 66MHz in the BIOS - but any feedback with regards the CPU, RAM (and timings) and everything else will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

First off all, you're mixing ram. That's a bad thing to do even for a stock system, let alone overclocking. As you can see from the SPD tab, both memory sticks have completely diffirent timings. My advice is to get a matched pair of ram - 2 identical sticks. You need a memory upgrade anyway, 512Mb is not enough these days and slow you down so much the oc becomes pointless imo.
You can try to enter the slowest timings (3-6-6-11) manually in bios. As you can see from the memory tab, the actual timings used are way tighter then the SPD timings of the OCZ dimm. Altough the OCZ SPD timings are for 263Mhz the used timings might still be too tight for it.
There are 2x512Mb Corsair + 2x512Mb OCR in there that, unfortunately, won't be getting changed anytime soon. :-(
Quote from: Exo on 17-June-07, 22:35:54
You might also be hitting the max of your cpu - Lower the CPU multiplier and check if you can clock the bus higher.
Upping the bus is easy enough, but where in the vanilla BIOS is the option to decrease the multiplier?

K8N Neo2 Platinum Overclock

Can't OC for anything? Whats the problem?
Well, my system configuration is as in my sig.
I havent been able to get a decent stable OC on this rig no matter what I try.
Best OC I have attained (100% stable) is this:
CPU: 13 x 207 = 2691Mhz
HTT: 5 x 207 = 1035Mhz
Memory: 207 x 2 = 414Mhz @ 2-2-2-10-2T
I've made these tweaks in the bios during OC:
Turned off Cool'N'Quiet
Turned off Spread Spectrum
Now, If I continue on this trend the computer stops being stable at over this amount of FSB.
So obviously, I drop the HTT and CPU Multiplier and am allowed to kick up the FSB some more.
CPU: 225Mhz x 12 = 2700Mhz
HTT: 225Mhz x 4 = 900Mhz
Memory: 225 x 2 = 450Mhz @ 2.5-3-3-10-2T
However, once again with mixed results.
Prime95 bombs after about 5 minutes. (Increases to vCore do not help)
Memory is 100% perfect running Memtest for an hour.
Why am I having all these problems? Even on stock cooling it's not getting very hot.

There is a link to a table there with the effective memory ratios for the different A64 multiplier settings here
From one of the links:
"3. You must NOT use a 4x CPU multi, because this puts your ram at 4:5 or slower
Can someone explain to me why this is so? I think the author is referring to HTT multiplier. If this is true it would explain alot.

K8N Neo2 Platinum (Zalman 7700AlCu install - PLEASE HELP!)

Hello,
I know that the Zalman web page lists the 7700 as incompatible with the Neo2 Platinum board. I've also read the past threads here about installation of the Zalman coolers, and I know that some people have made it work. I'm just wondering HOW?
Originally, the guy who built my computer had the 7700 installed using the stock MSI backplate and the shorter brass coloered Zalman "nipples" that normally come with the 7000 coolers (don't know how he got ahold of these - I assume he had extras lying around). This apparently worked temporarily, but eventually the glue on the MSI backplate gave out, and that allowed the entire cooler to come loose, move, and rock back and forth. Since the stock MSI backplate is only glued on, there is nothing holding it in place but the glue if you remove the stock retention mechanism to which it is mounted.
Since the stock backplate was no longer an option, I decided to try the Zalman backplate. Unfortunately, the threads in the brass Zalman 7000 mounting nipples are too large to fit into the holes in the Zalman 7700 backplate. I tried to reinstall using the silver colored Zalman 7700 mounting nipples, but I faced another problem. The 7700 nipples are too tall! The entire cooler is loose when you use them, and it doesn't make good contact with the CPU.
Here is my thought. I have a feeling that if I go back to the (shorter) brass 7000 nipples, and get ahold of a Zalman 7000 backplate (which would obviously have larger holes to fit the brass 7000 nipples), then this just might work perfectly. I guess the only questions I have are:
(1) Will the 7000 backplate fit on the Neo2 Platinum? [I assume it should since the 7000 is listed as compatible with this board on the Zalman web page]
(2) Will Zalman be willing to send me a 7000 backplate at no charge?
(3) Has anyone gotten this to work (i.e. mounting a 7700 cooler to a Neo2 Platinum using 7000 hardware)???
Thanks in advance. Unless someone tells me this proposed installation is doomed to fail, I'll be calling Zalman to request a backplate tomorrow.

Joey,
Zalman told me nothing other than that they would send me a 7000 backplate at no charge. My proposed installation method may not work at all.
I can't tell from your photos if you're using stock Zalman hardware (i.e. mounting nipples) with the metal MSI backplate. Your Asus board installation appears to use springs, which AFAIK, are not supplied with any Zalman HSF. The photos of your MSI installation is too dark to see the mounting nipples.
Use of the MSI backplate with standard Zalman hardware is a recipe for disaster, as explained in my original post. The mounting threads in the metal MSI backplate actually protrude up through the motherboard surface by about 1/4", as can be seen in your photos. Once the glue sticking the backplate to the underside of the motherboard gives out, the backplate will be free to move 1/4" away from the back side of the motherboard, due to the play created by the protruding threads. Thiis will allow the entire Zalman HSF to move with it. The HSF will be able to rock back and forth, losing contact with the CPU surface.
Your installation method (with the springs) may well solve this problem. I can't tell from the photos. Just be sure that your installation does not rely in any way on the fact that there is glue holding the MSI backplate to the motherboard, as that glue will eventually give out.

ITUNES WONT OPEN AT ALL - PLEASE HELP!

Can someone please help me! I downloaded itunes 6 about a week ago, its been working fine up until last night. Everytime I go to open itunes I get the annoying error message - 'itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close'.
I have tried re-installing itunes and quick time, I have tried recreating my library, still doesnt work.
I think it may be something to do with quicktime, as when I click on it on my desktop I get an error message and it wont open. Also when I go to the quicktime page on apple.com I get a message saying about a plugin wasnt initialized. Quicktime isnt in my add/remove programs list either. I have tried installing the QuickTime standalone download, its almost does it then I get error message come up saying something like DLL Function Call Crashed!
I would really appreciate it if someone has any help on this as Apple couldnt care less!

Go here. Da Gopha, "iTfW: stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes", 09:51am Apr 5, 2005 CDT and do a stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes. That might help. Sometimes extra hidden files can muck up an installation.

HT1349 my iphone went dead and wont charge at all, please help :(

my iphone went dead and wont charge. I tried plugging it on the wall and via the usb to my laptop but still no luck. any suggestions on how to make it work?

Try using a differnt USB cord. Or hold down the power/home button together for 10 to 15 sec or until you see the apple logo and then release, wait for your phone to boot back up.

I had to Wipe my hard drive! Ipod wont recognize comp now plz help!!!

I recently had to wipe my hard drive to repair windows, now when I try to sync my I-pod nano it tries to "delete and sync" all my songs I have purchased and downloaded from this very same computer. I need to know how to either get my ipod to resync back to this computer or how to re-aquire the songs I have already purchased. please help, I am new to I-pods! thanks!

Hello hoparella,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
With your iPod connected, have you tried using the *File-> Transfer Purchases* options?
Otherwise, another work around would be to copy all the music currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library. From there, you can "Erase and Sync" the iPod with your new iTunes library or opt to restore it.
[Restorin|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339]
For ways on how to copy music directly from your iPod to iTunes, see this older post of mine.

Cant install XP at all - plz help

I have just upgraded to an MSI K7N2-L Nforce2 8xAGP motherboard from a PC chips M810LR SiS730s.
However, i can not get windows XP to run/install at all.
Here's how it started. I finally got everything working (took a long time) and when it was working, when I turned it on it would say i can either start windows normally or run it in safe mode. Either option would restart my computer with a quick milisecond flash of the blue screen.
So, I formatted my hard disk (as my last chipset was different I wasnt surprised it wasn't working). However, with a blank partition it would not install XP. It would lock up at 'setup is now running windows.' which showed after it had loaded all the SCSI stuff etc. (This was booting it from the XP CD).
It did the same thing when there were no partitions, or any active partitions I made anything.
I then thought, how about installing Windows 98. Guess what, it worked fine. But I really dont want 98 when I have XP. So I tried putting the winXP CD in whilst in win98, and when it restarted to install it would lock up just like before. And it would also lock up when trying to do a new installation.
I have noticed many MANY people have had this same problem with XP on their K7N2s (searching on this board.)
If anyone knows a solution, or any feedback would be appreciated.
THANKS

scriccs,
Get an XP disk and your problem will be solved. If you do not reinstall your OS, it will not work.
Ginjarou,
Set your RAM to 1:1 in the bios. Use Vid Card, HD, Optical Drive, Floppy, keyboard/mouse/monitor and see if you can install XP.
