  • Orange slot in MSI K9N SLI Platinum

    Quick and Dirty:
    What cards can I use in the Orange slot for in the K9N SLI Platinum?
    Details:
    I currently have the K8N Neo4 Platinum and am upgrading from 939 to socket AM2. I want the K9N SLI Platinum board but NEED 3 PCI slots. The three cards I need are Promise Ultra ATA/133 card, Soundblaster X-Fi sound card, Belkin wireless G LAN card. The K9N has three slots but that INCLUDES the orange slot but I don't know what its for.
    I tried the wireless card in the orange slot but i can't get the drivers to install and "accept" the card. Works fine when I switch back to white slot. I'm afraid without 3 slots I cannot purchase the board. Any solutions?

    Tried:
    Raid card installed without a hitch, first time installing that in this system.
    Also tried:
    Moved X-Fi from two slots down into the orange slot, was working immediately after bootup. I'm psyched beyond belief. 
    Will be buying the K9N Platinum. Thanks for the info.

  • MSI K9N SLI Platinum - SATA not hot-swappable?

    can i get a confirmation that K9N SLI Platinum motherboard does NOT support hot-swapping the SATA drives. I switched to this board for the AM2 socket and now i am not seeing the removable drive bays as hot-swappable (ie. no green arrow down by the clock). maybe i am missing a bios setting?

    I check two machines today and one is just fine using the removable trays and any drives we put in there show up in the 'safely remove hardware' tool. the other machines does NOT detect any drives inserted while the machine is powered on and something else - under the 'policies' tab the top two choices ('optimize for quick removal' instead of 'optimize for performance') are greyed out but there is an option below them that i can check and uncheck (i cannot remember the exact title of this option).
    I assume you are trying the same drives when you swap the removable trays between the two machines.  Some drives have a jumper that has to be removed to enable SATA II operation, so if they aren't the same physical drives you might want to check that.
    I think the stuff below the greyed out area in your 'Policies' tab is a check box that enables/disables write caching.  You might want to try checking/unchecking that.
    Also, you should check out the IDE/ATA Controller selection in the Device Manager.  Take a look at each instance of controller that shows up there.  SATA controllers actually a primary and secondary channel and each channel has a master and a slave drive, just like old IDE controllers.  Look at each tab on both machines and make sure all of the drive's features are set identically on these tabs.  Sometimes Windows can try to outsmart you. For example, I have an SATA II Maxtor drive that has its transfer mode downgraded to SATA I by Windows (there is a little yellow triangle with a '!' in the middle of the lower part of the panel).  The help balloon for this arrtibutes it to 'excessive transfer errors.'  I haven't tried to chase that one down yet, however.
    As far as setting the machines up the same way, sometimes the sequence of driver installations can have an effect.  For example, a RAID driver installed during Windows setup using the 'F6 - install other driver' option can behave differently from one installed with the Device Manager 'Update Driver' function. 
    Sorry I can't be of more help here. 
    Maybe someone else in this forum is a bit more knowledgable on the subject.

  • K9N SLI PLATINUM low data transfer rate

    Hi, (sorry for my pour english) I had to go back to Winxp native SATA/IDE drivers and my pc crash & BSOD problem it's gone! :D (BSOD when i install some programs or some games, listening music and moving data at the same time, etc.) now i'm available to execute multitasks without any troubles. But now the transference it's quite poor  , I think this is an easy and temporary solution for this big problem.
    I bought my PC on 2006 and the Windows XP drivers are from 2001, aren't new Nvidia/MSI drivers to fix this annoying problem?
    Thanks.

    NX7900GT

    I've got nearly the same problem, but a little worse. My data transfer rate seems very slow for a 100mb network and if I start copying files over the network, after only a couple of megs I lose connectivity to the network completely! I've removed the network cable and windows notices this, and when I put it back in windows also notices the change, but the green and orange lights on the port itself stay on solid. If I reboot windows everything comes back. I don't have problems browsing the web, seems to only happen when the ethernat port is running close to full load (for the connection speed of 100mb as apposed to 1gb).
    Anyone else seen this? I'm on the latest drivers, the latest bios and I've tried disabling on of the network ports in the bios but his didn't work.

    HEY GUYS FINALLY GOT A ANSWER FROM MSI Co.
    According to this best thing is RMA..
    Dear Kamal,
    We have fixed this issue by changing C565 from 100pF to 220pF. All the stock had been reworked, and we have informed all the MSI™ Distributor locators.
    So please get your MB for RMA.
    As to the RMA, The normal procedure is to contact your reseller (the place you bought the board from) for repair/exchange , If the reseller for some reason like bankrupt cannot be contacted, then contact MSI distributor http://www.msi.com.tw/program/contact/where2buy/ or MSI office near your place http://www.msi.com.tw/program/about/w2b/index.php
    Sorry for any inconveniency.

    DDR2-1250 is an overclocking rating.  The memory modules should run fine @DDR2-800.  Maybe you can stably overclock the modules to higher speeds, however, nobody can really guarantee you that those sticks will be able to operate @DDR2-1250 (625 MHz) on this board/chipset.

  • K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1 ... need help with Windows 7 install

    Hello,
    Having an intermittant issue with Windows 7 32bit.  During startup Windows 7 gets stuck at the logo screen.  Not always though.  Every 7-8th reboot it will make it past and go all the way into Windows 7.  I've tried all sorts of combinations of "ebabling/disabling".  This system ran XP professional for 3 years without any issues.  Currently, I have the most luck by connecting the keyboard and mouse to PS2 and leaving USB disabled.  This may not be the issue though.  Once I got Win7 to boot I performed driver updates etc. 
    If someone has suggestions please let me know.  I'm about to try the USB bios flash but have never done it before. 
    Thank you,

    Hi Guys,
    Thank you for the replies. 
    -  Yes it is a fresh install of Windows7 on a drive that originally had XP Pro
    -  If I boot into safe mode it does go into Win7 most of the time. 
    -  I posted on the MSI tech support page (http://support.msi.com/index.php) and the response was to upgrade the BIOS.  What do you think?
    -  I've been using this graphics card for three years and is nowhere near as powerful as what's out there now.  In fact all of the components are three years old except the RAM
    -  I tried the old RAM (2GB Corsair) and it also had the same issue.  Even at default RAM settings or otherwise.  Now I'm back to the 4GB Patriot Vipers.
    -  What is this capacitor problem people are referring to?  Is it a problem specifically on this model board? 
    Thank you..

  • Need some advise - MSI K9N2 Sli Platinum

    Hello. I have some strange behavior of the system since the last week. Processor´s fan speeds up and down. Usualy is 3400-3600rpm; now speeds up to 5400-5600rpm and stay accelerate for a good while. I thought it could be some dust; yesterday I made a general cleaning of the hardware and also replaced the Thermaltake fan with another one which I have for replacement. The heatsink is firm, deos not have movements. The thermal grase is OCZ Freeze etc, something good,  seems to be hardened because heatsink stay firm. This was assembled some 16 month ago.
    I started again the PC, slow down the processor´s speed from OC 3.2Ghz to the basic 2.8 Ghz and the problem still go on. I thought this could be come system drivers problem, some sensor related. Then, I download the sys driver 15.49_nforce_winvista_win7_64bit_intern ational_whql from nVidia site and install it. Nothing, the problem is the same.
    also: http://i44.tinypic.com/120pix4.jpg
    The readings of Temperatures the TMPIN0 and TMPIN1, north and south bridge are ok. The TMPIN2 127°C is a dead sensor, it allways was like that from the beginning. Don´t pay attention to it.
    I´m really worried that thomething bad could happen and I have not a replacement for this mobo now.
    Could be some bad or crazy sensor which send some erroneous signal and that´s could be the origin of this situation?
    Does it exist the possibility the mobo get fried?
    I hope you´ll have the best advise for me.
    My best regards,

    I'm confused.  You say to ignore the 127° reading, but then state you are concerned and talk about a false reading.  What reading and what exactly are you concerned with, the CPU temps?  If your system were getting that hot(127°C), you'd shut down or blow something.  I'm sure it's a false reading. 
    If you wish to remove the heatsink,  get something like Artic Silver 5 so you have a different paste to use.   Then, boot to the bios and leave it there for 15 minutes and shut down(you can simply hit the power off button this way).  Immediately, after shutdown, removing the power cord and pushing the power on button several times to drain the capacitors, try and remove the Heatsink carefully with some slight wiggle back and forth motion.  Hopefully, the heating of the TIM will make it pliable enough for easier removal.  DO NOT USE FORCE.

  • MSI K9N SLI-2F+4GB DDR2 big problem....

    I got this PC:
    MSI K9N SLI-2F
    AMD Athlon64 x2 4200+
    2x1 GB DDR2 Vitesta Extrema 800+
    WD 500 GB AAKS
    LEADTEK 8800 GTS 640 MB
    450 W PSU
    Recently i got another 2x1 GB DDR2 Vitesta Extrema 800+.My OS was Windows XP SP2.Of course i knew about de 32bit SO limitation and didn't expect my Windows to take advantage of all 4Gigs.My PC started to freeze on random ocassions.so i decided to install Windows Vista x64.It didn't start to install it just freezes after unpacking (gray bar with black background screen).I take out 2 Gigs.Works like a charm,so it isn't a dvd read problem. I inserted the 2GIGS back PC doesn't even get to boot screen(with 2GB works).I installed SP1 too,to get all hotfixes up to date.same thing.Memory hole is enabled in bios.Tested the sticks 1 by 1 no problem with eighter of them.Just as i write i am running the recently bought sticks,for 2 days,no problem.My bios is 3.8 now,but i downgraded from 3.9 thinking it may solve the problem.I also don't think that the PSU is the problem,because before i had 4x512 DDR2 800 GEIL Ultra (2.1V) wich practicly need same power to run.Hope somebody can help me :(

    You have tested with all sorts of el-cheapo PSU's.
    Do you really believe any of those will run a power eating videocard like a 8800GTS?
    I believe it's the videocard and/or the powersupply.
    As you managed to install XP without a problem it seems, well then the memory and CPU are fine, as they use a whole lot of memory and CPU power during install.
    It would have stalled during installation as well if it was the board/CPU/memory.
    However, during that stage the videocard isn't initialized to full potential, but just acting like a 100 year old VGA card and thus not using any power or GPU calculations at all.
    Please test your system on a >30A @ 12V powersupply SINGLE rail, to exclude the PSU.
    Also, take your friends videocard and put it in your system, but with a heavy 12V amp psu.
    Wouldn't be the first time it was both.
    Bad memory/CPU/board usually results into BSOD, but underpowered PSU can also cause freezing and those nVidia videocards do react on unstable power by reducing stuff....so yes it can run underpowered...but how long and how good?
    BAS, thanks but no thanks.Already solved,and it wasn't the PSU, you PSU FANATIK ).I already said i finished Crysis with this stinky PSU ,no problems.Go buy a PSU that costs twice your PC if that makes you happy,untill proven otherwise i stick to my cheap'o PSU

  • MSI k8N SLI Platinum - dead??

    Hello,
    I have started the PC as per usual. Pushed the power button... nothing. Then again... nothing. Then I swithed off from the switch near the mains entry. and switched on... PC started however I get nothing on the screen. No beeps.
    I have an Antec Truecontrol 2.0 power supply, an MSI K8N SLI Platinum (socket 939) with AMD Athlon, 2 GB Corsair TWINX Ram, three HDDS SATA, Raptor 75GB as Primary (C:) and another two WDS. Video Card: BFG 7800GTX+ 256MB OC, PCI - Express.
    System has functioned Ok for three and a half years at least. I have replaced the Northbridge Fan from the beginning with a Blue heatsink - I believe Zalman. No temp issues. No overclocking, I am not using any commander modes etc etc.
    When I look at the D-Bracket I get Memory Init Error (RED-GReen-Red-Red). I am pretty sure it is not the RAM. I pulled the RAM, used only one stick... same error.
    I pulled the video card out. Then interestingly the system reaches the phase just before booting and the D_Bracket shows Floppy Init error (Green-Red-Green-Green). I tried moving the video card to the second PCI -ex - I also reach the Floppy Error point. I put in a crappy PIC-Ex video card - I reach the same Floppy init point - the floppy actually seeks but does not try to read. Unfort I forgot where I put the Monitor adapter thingy so I can;t check if I get anything on the screen with the crappy PCI-Ex video card. Will get it... soon...
    I have a hard time determining whether it is the Video card or the mainboard. I have pulled the battery out, left overnight, pushed the BIOS reset... nothing helped. With Video Card in PCI-Ex slot 1, I get the memory init error. With the card in PCI-Ex slot 2 or with no card or with crappy PCI-Ex, I get to the Floppy Init point.
    Could it be that at that point I would be getting a VGA error that I cannot see on the screen ? Why then NO BEEPS? Does this Mobo model not beep, just uses the D-Bracket?
    It is important - if it is the mobo I am done for, I have to buy Mobo, RAM, CPU... $1,000. If it is the Video card I may find something 1 slot wide and similar to the BFG ...
    Can anyone help narrow this please ?
    BTW on the screen I get NOTHING, if I pull out the cable the monitor says - check connection, if I plug it in the monitor goes to power saving.
    Thank you Heaps

    Put a stick of memory in there of el-cheapo brand.
    Those Corsairs you have need more voltage to start if I'm not mistaken.
    Found out what the prob was - the BFG 7800GTX was DEAD. RMA-ed the card. the MSI Mobo is Ok

  • So, is a -5V pin supply still required for MSI K8N SLI Platinum or not ???

    I am looking to buy a new custom made computer. I want the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard for it. The problem is that the non-USA page claims that it requires the -5V pin supply. I have read many threads on this same topic, but havent found a definitve answer.
    Is the -5V rail still needed or not ???
    I read somewhere that USA models dont require it, as its not mentioned on the USA site. Well my one will most probably be from Taiwan.....
    Is there a check, through which I can confirm whether the motherboard my local hardware store is selling, requires a -5V pin supply or not???
    lastly, is that a specific model number, from which onwards, the requirement is no longer needed ????
    thanx in advance

    I agree with SAB only because mine has been rock solid for quite some time.  If I could afford it, I would have purchased SAB's PC Power & Cooling 510 model.
    The only other model that seems to have the -5v rail are the OCZ psu.  However, I have noticed a lot of users with tagan's and have yet to see someone complain about this psu.  Im running the 12v rail as a single rail at 30a...you can experiment with the dual rails and it will adjust to the need of your mobo up to 20a on each rail but then the other rail gets only 10a (at least I think thats how it works).
    The tagan 480w u22 was built for the future:
    1.  has a 20/24 pin main power connector - shielded
    2.  a 4/8 pin cpu power connector - shielded
    3.  2 - 6pin vga connectors - shielded
    4.  4 - sata hdd connectors
    5.  Whisper quiet - you just dont hear it
    6.  12v rail at 30a - peak load at startup to 35a for 60 seconds
    7.  70% to 73% efficiency rating
    Is it enough juice?  It seems to me that the manufacturers have realized that pretty soon we will have to purchase $500 psu's just to keep up.  So IMO, the manufacturers seem to be getting the point.  The new 90nm AMD chips take less power than the 130nm chips...and the new 7800gt video cards take up less power than the 6800gt video cards.  In the future, AMD will be coming out with a 65nm chip, which will need even less power.
    So I think Im right at the sweet spot with the 12v@30a and its also flexible enough to switch to a dual rail system if I need that feature in the future.  Tagan does make a 530w and 580w psu too, but they are not as quiet and you only get 2 more amps on the 12v rail as you go up the line.  Just my 2 cents.   

  • MSI P6N SLI Platinum OEM Modification Question

    The MSI P6N SLI Platinum OEM edition motherboard comes with all the circuit layout needed to support 2 SLI x16 Style connectors for SLI'd video cards. However the OEM only comes with one installed and an empty slot for the other. What resistors and the like would I need to add to the board in order to add the pcie x16 connector to the empty area on the board? I've already found a source for the actual slot, and I know I am going to need to add a resistor of some type to the empty resistor slot directly above where the PCIe slot will go. Beyond that I don't know what else I need to do, or what type of resistor is needed.
    Oh yeah, and where can I go to buy the optional accessories for this board that came with the retail version? I would have prefered the retail version but the board I have came as part of a kit.

    Hello Tornath,
    you have already mentioned yourself, that you have an OEM-Board, not an MSI-Retail Board. MSI does not provide end-user support for OEM products, as this is the responsability of the OEM Vendor who is selling OEM Boards under a different name.  Also, this forum will not support OEM Products and that is why I will have to close this thread. 
    However, before you waste huge amounts of your lifetime with trying to add a second PCI-Express Slot to your OEM-Board, let me explain to you, why your plan is rather pointless:
    1) The only OEM-Board of this class I know of, has the model number MS-7350VP.  If there ever was a marketing name, it would be called P6N Platinum (not P6N SLI Platinum), and there is one simple reason for that:
    2) This particular OEM Board has an NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra Chipset (as opposed to the NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI), and if you look at the specifications for NVIDIA Chipset on the official NVIDIA Chipset Specification Site, you will see that this Chipset does not support the NVIDIA SLI™ Technology: http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce_600i_tech_specs.html   .... That is basically why there is no additional PCI-Express Slot in the first place.   So even if you should succeed in adding a secondary PCI-Express Slot to the board physically, the chipset will render it more a less useless in terms of running two video cards in SLI mode.

  • MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM & Geil PC3200 400MHz CAS 2-5-2-2

    I'm thinking of buying a new pair of memory modules, particularly,
     Geil Ultra X  PC3200 400MHz CL2-2-2-5 DDR.
    Has anyone tested them with MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM?
    The specifications are:
    "PC3200 400MHz CAS 2-5-2-2
    GeIL Ultra-X TSOP 32x8 DDR Chips
    184pin, Non-ECC, Un-buffered DDR DIMM
    Platinum Copper Heatspreader
    6 Layers Ultra Low Noises Shielded PCB with Gold 30u" Plating
    Temperature thermometers
    Retail package
    2.55V-2.95V
    Lifetime warranty"

    I continued with the overclocking to see the limitations of the memory and not only.
    I managed to run the modules at 466MHz with 2-2-2-5-1T at 2.85v which was the upper limit.
    Unfortunately bios limitations didn't me allow to reach 500MHz as the memory chips could give.
    Max voltage at 2.85v.
    The ultra x series are out in the market with two chips: Samsung TCCD and Winbond BH-5.
    For that I searched and learned that the Windbond BH-5 can't work at CL 3, which I set at system bios.
    The system couldn't boot. So I suppose I'm having the coolest BH-5.
    It also needs over 3v in order to reach the 500MHz frequency and the necessity of an air cooler above rams.
    Maybe in the future with a more overclockable m/b like Stick proposed.
