I looked up the current bios for 1.2 and this is what it reads:
1. This is Award BIOS release.
2. This BIOS fixes the following problem(s) of the previous version:
- Updates NVMM version to 4.79.
- Supports Maxtor 300 GB HDD.
- Updates NVPXE version to 2.03.0469.
- Updates NVRAID version to 4.81.
Doesn't appear to have anything about updated cpu code for Venice. This is not good as I have the K8N Neo4-F along with 3500+ Venice coming this week.
I also checked via motherboard listing and CPU for Diamond, SLI Platinum, NEO4 Platinum and the Venice is not listed........  so if it was listed MSI have pulled it for some reason.   
Had a look here as well........

  • Neo4 Plat - Bios Settings & Recommendations Please

    There are so many settings in the Neo4 Bios (1.b) and I am unsure how to set them to get the max performance out of my system. Is their a guide or can someone leave me some recommendations.
    My ram is OCZ low latency DDR500 so it can take a beating
    Thanks alot

  • Neo4 Plat Bios V1.9 issue MSI responds

    well After 2 weeks the guys form MSI finaly reponded to me with the really nice answer LOL
    after I was screwed with the Boot/Shutdown problem with bios V1.9 I just flashed back to V1.6 and live with the USB problems instead of having the machine  shut down or restart manualy
    look their answer:
    <<<Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
    Firstly, we're very sorry for leting you wait for a long time which we don't intend to. We've done a test for the 1.9 bios. But there isn't the issue you met. After the instalation, the PC could re-boot or turn off from Windows normally and the PC'status is stable. So we suggest you have another try to flash the 1.9 bios as well as update the mainboad's drivers. After flashing the bios, please load default in the bios.
    Please be free to let us know if you still have any further inquires. >>>
    so there is any diference if I missed to load bios defaults after flashing???
    I dont believe in that because I cleared the BIOS after I did the flash??
    well I'm lazy to do it again I just dont buy it
    any luck with other users??
    MSI support Suck!! or I'm wrong??

    I flashed form 1.6 to 1.9 last week and it's been rock solid. Found out that the winnie 219 fsb bug was "fixed" somewhat when you overclock using HTT=3x. HTT=4x and 220 fsb still causes an issue. For what it's worth, I never flash using liveupdate. Most of the time, I use floppy on bootup but I have also done it through winflash. Safer using floppy. As they mention, load optimized defaults upon bootup. I found a different thread that also stated to do this function immediately after flashing. I did and so far so good.
    Still waiting for MSI to provide a bug free bios
      Who says it is safer to flash using a floppy?  They should be shot!   Best way is, to make a very small FAT32 Partition on a Hardrive and boot to that , having Flash Utilitly and Bios on that small partition. Much Much safer.

  • SATA hard drive problems with k8n neo4 plat

    Helo , I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have read Fafner's thread on installing a sata hard drive on the neo4 mb but the only utility program I found on wd site is called " lifeguard11 for windows". Is this the right utility to use to partion my hard drive? I burned it to a cd and and my computer will post but will not boot from that cd. I have followed the instructions that came with the mb and used the floppys at F6 but it won't countinue to install windows after that.
    Also I'm not sure how to enable sata in the bios. Do I go to integrated peripherals/sata devices config. and at the top of the screen it say's RAID Enable. Do I enable that and then enable sata1 raid? I am only using one hard drive. Thanks for help you can give.

    My system is similar to yours, if your just using the one Raptor you don't need any special drivers, your mother board will detect the Raptor with out any special settings. I hooked my Raptor up to SATA 1 (look on pg 2-2 of your book for the location) If your only planing on installing one operating system on your hard drive, such as windows XP pro, Windows will format and partition the drive for you.
    If your having problems booting from a CD make sure you change the boot order in the BIOS (under advanced bios features pg. 3-8 of your manual) so that CD is before HD. For example, mine is set up for: First boot device = Floppy drive, Second boot device = CD Rom, Third boot device = hard drive, and etcetera. if your using more than one hard drive such as an IDE drive make sure you set the "hard disk boot priority" on the same page to the hard drive you want to boot from.
    Once that is done put your Windows CD in the CD drive and reboot, Windows will guide you through the rest.

  • K8N Neo4 Plat and 3500+ venice?

     I have searched this but am more confused now than before. I am thinking of upgrading to the 3500+ venice with a K8N Neo4 Plat or sli is this a good combo.Tiger Direct has the Plat. and the SLI for the same price $149. Does this cpu work better with one or the other board?

    i have the sli/plat and the 3500+ venice and it seems to work well with the 3.4 bios dont know about the plat but its basically the same. just my input

    This is my first msi board, decided to go with it over what i usually get, asus, so far im pretty disapointed.
    Is this board faulty?
    HELP PLZ!

    took it out and reset bios. still nothing.
    This thing wont even make it past the "platinum" screen. If i reset the bios sometimes it will make it to post but it still need to get into bios and without a keyboard im sol.
    really thinking about returning this thing and getting something else thats not msi.
    I had about the same issue with my platinum neo4. It had the battery at 2.2V (measured) and the bios showed 1.2V for the battery.
    I wasn't able to save bios settings (blank screen when I did) and returned it to the shop. They're still investigating and probably give me some feedback tomorrow. I still want the same MSI board because it ran very smooth for about a week and hope this issue will be solved somehow.

  • Max stable CPU voltage supported by K8n Neo4 Plat.?

    My vcore voltage fluctuates between 1.44v and 1.50v. In the bios I have 1.42+6.6%(see my sig). I have ran prime 95 for 24h stable, but recently I tried OCCT(a french program). The first test ran for 30min OK, the torture test froze my computer within an hour or two. My question is what is Max stable CPU voltage supported by K8n Neo4 Plat.?Because obviously when the mobo drops it to 1.44 it IS NOT ENOUGH. Difference of .06v obviously is critical for the stability. Anyway it should be 1.425+6.6%=1.519 which is nowhere near 1.44. I currently run at 36-38C idle and 45C under load. Is it a bios problem? I use 1.6 bios and I don't have any problems whatsoever.
    Any opinions appreciated.
    BTW tried to raise the mobo voltage at 1.55(1.50 default) but seems that there is no difference.
    BIOS shows my voltages as follows:
       +3.3v=3.12 to 3.15 mostly stays at 3.14 pc wizard shows 3.14, core center shows 3.22
       +5.5v=4.96 to 4.99
       +12v =11.96 to 12.22 core center shows 11.96, pc wizard shows 12.22

    Quote from: gerasimatos on 30-September-05, 09:17:54
    dont blame MSI for your financial situations. If you could afford the proper hardware then you wouldnt need to overclock and such. JMO.
    I can afford the proper hardware.  In fact, I bought a DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI DR to replace the defective K8N Neo4 SLI board.
    As soon as the new K8N board comes back from RMA, I figure to sell it - say half off.  I think for something that may or may not work as advertised, half price is fair.
    And speaking of processors, these Venice chips are really phenomenal - they're just like (or maybe even better than) the good old XP1700 JIUHB chips.  I still have one of those - and strangely enough, it's still running - in an MSI K7T Turbo 2 board (KT133A).    That JIUHB served me well - it'd do a 500MHz overclock with no strain at all.  If I had water cooling, I bet I coulda  got 1 GHz out of it.
    The two Venice 3200 processors I have both seem to be really good overclockers.  The one that was in the rig I RMA'd is the best - right now in the new Lanparty board, I've got it running at 2.5 GHz (1:1 @ 250 MHz) with about 1.55 volts.  It's idling at about 30c and only runs at about 44c under load - and the AS5 hasn't even cured yet! 
    That chip is gonna be one helluva overclocker!
    I'll let it run at 2.5 GHz for another week or so till the AS5 has cured, then I'll see just how far I can go (without the temps getting too high).  The way it's gone from this point, I think 2.7 GHz is very reasonable for a goal.
    And as I think newbie222 pointed out, as long as the temps are kept reasonable, there is no actual risk to the processor.
    The point I was making is that with my old, defective K8N, that would not have been possible - BECAUSE THE BOARD WAS DEFECTIVE.  It was defective because the vcore did not operate up to spec (wouldn't go as high as it was advertised to) and because of the voltage fluctuations.
    How would you feel if you bought a new car that was advertised as getting 24 MPG highway and it only got 17 MPG?  Or if you ordered Comcast's 8 Mb/s downstream Gold Tier and only got 6 Mb/s downstream?  Or if you ordered a 102 channel cable package that turned out to only have 88 channels?
    It's all the same exact, precise thing.
    If MSI advertises you can get a vcore of 1.7> volts then you fer damned sure better be able to get it. 
    The main reason people buy boards like the K8N is to overclock - it's the "enthusiast" community that the board is targeted to.
    I find it hard to believe anyone would even want to buy one of these boards and not overclock.  What's the point?  If all someone wants  is something that will run at stock speeds, then they oughta save a few bucks and buy a Dell or whatever.

  • Can anyone explain this bizarre Neo4 plat/sli circumstance?

    Just had mobo upgraded to Neo4 plat/sli. I only have IDE drives in the system currently. They are PHYSICALLY connected in this way:
    IDE socket 1 cable
    master - 80GB HDD, empty drive
    slave - DVD burner
    IDE socket 2 cable
    master - 120GB HDD, OS installed here (WIN XP PRO SP2)
    slave - 120GB HDD, data resides on this disk.
    HOWEVER...
    The drives are being recognized at bootup in this way:
    Primary Master - 120GB HDD with OS (physically on IDE socket 2 as master)
    Primary Slave - DVD Burner (physically on IDE socket 1 as slave)
    Secondary Master - 80GB HDD (physically on IDE socket 1 as master)
    Secondary Slave - 120GB HDD with data (physically on IDE socket 2 as slave)
    Further, the WIN XP disk management utility shows the drives in a similar manner:
    Disk 0 - 120GB w/ OS  (drive C:)
    Disk 1 - 80GB  (no drive letter)
    Disk 2 - 120GB w/ data (drive E:)
    DVD burner - (drive D:)
    How can this be? I thought that to show as primary master, a drive must be connected to IDE socket 1 as master? And how in the world can the Primary master and slave drives reside on two different IDE cables?
    I didn't do this installation and cannot talk to the tech who did until Monday. FWIW, everything is working just fine. And it all appears to be jumpered properly. But before I go about the process of loading up all my software, etc., I feel a need to understand why this is happening. Is this a function of a bios setting that I can't find?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks so much!

    Well, in the first place welcome to the forum, secondly what you present it's correct, the system drive (OS drive) it has to always be the drive C: that's not a question of Master and Slave because if you go to the system properties you will see those drives as they are configured in the BIOS.
    But for me that is a strange configuration....
    Be well....

    K89 NEO4 PLAT/SLI Do I have to send it back?

    No worries.
    As for the Bios flash all you need to do with a newer core top get it to come up for posting or Bios Adjustments/Flashing is to use a single Stick of RAM. That forces the CPU's Memory Controller into single channel and that will get it done. If you try to post in dual channel with older Bios's that do not fully support a newer chip it will lock and you need then just to remove all RAM except from Slot 1 and reset the Bios as per your user manual.
    No worries as it is not as hard as it sounds.

    neo4 sli/platinum 7100+ 3000+venice. OC HELP

    3.6 should be fine, I think, as I have not heard of any problems with it.  I have not tried it because I don't have any problems with 3.5 that might be fixed by 3.6.
    Configuration::
    Athlon 64 3000+ Venice
    MSI K8N SLI Platinum (BIOS 3.5 - also worked with 3.2 and earlier)
    2 * 512mb DDR DIMM (Geil Value with 2.5 3 3 6 timings)
    I have photographed a few pages in my BIOS and uploaded them here: http://www.tentonine.fast24.co.uk/msi/bios.htm
    Some Geil Value RAM has worse timings than mine - if yours is not 2.5 3 3 6, then you will have to look up on the Geil website to see what all the other RAM timings should be.
    If you just set your RAM to 150MHz and leave the timings on auto, it will probably not work.  The BIOS detects the best timings at 150MHz, but your RAM is actually being over-clocked back to 200MHz or more, so you need to manually enter the correct settings for 200MHz.

  • K8N NEO4 Plat - setup

    this is my new build -
    K8N NEO4 Plat Motherboard
    2 x 512 Mushkin redline Dual Channel DDR400 modules
    AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego Core
    Antec True Power 2.0 550W PSU
    2 x 6600GT BFG SLI-Cards
    2 x Hitachi 80GB SATA II drives in a RAID 0
    and other various items that need not be listed.....................
    Anyways, i have the RAM running at 2/3/2 latencies at 2.85 Volts and I am looking to get more UMPH! out of it but Mushkin says i need more voltage. Is there a way of upping the voltage on this mobo? My previous mobo, a DFI board had an insane amount of voltage available but the board itself was a PAIN IN THE REAR! so it has been replaced, thankfully. Anyways, is there a revised BIOS that provides more volatage and isnt flakey? I would rpefer something that is not a BETA version, BETA=PROBLEMS. has anyone compiled a custom BIOS by making some revisions to an exisiting tested BIOS?

    Well, I don't think there is, I've been reading about this, since I'm getting one of these Mobo's...
    Either go for the beta bios or mod the official bios to allow the same amount of Vdimm as the beta, and flash with that...or google for some of Tictac's, Oscar_Wu's, etc modded BIOS'.
    Maybe you can contact one of those guys over @ XtremeSystems.org and they may be able to hook you up.
    BTW: The OCZ DDR Booster does NOT work with the Neo4 series.

  • K8N Neo4 Plat (MS-7125) v.1.D user manual/settings?

    Since I flashed my PCB 1.0 K8N Neo4 Plat to BIOS 1.D a couple of years ago I've been sort've just winging it with the many increased settings that 1.D added.  I know all of the basics like clock and DRAM settings but the rest I'm clueless about.  Is there any official or unofficial post or document out there that explains these settings and what their optimal values should be?
    TIA! 

     Max OC was 3203 but for everyday I had it at 3080 for a couple of months and then I got some different RAM and had some problems with it and have it backed down to 2640 (240x11), HT link is at x3 (720) but would be okay at x4 which would put HT at 960 for the OC I have now and I went back to my old RAM. I haven't yet worked it back up to OC I had before. Neo 4-F & Plat. PCB 1.0 seem to OC better than other versions of K8N which seem to max out at about 2700.
     Keep HT link below 1000, if you OC it enough that it goes over drop it to the next lower setting. Your 2500 clock is no problem at stock voltage and you would need to OC quite a bit higher for any need to raise voltage. Lets see what setting you have questions about before I go too far here.

  • K8N Neo4 Plat. boot delay with Canon MP390

    Hi everyone!
    My problem is the following:
    My K8N Neo4 Plat. based computer got a huge delay (5mins!) on POST at boot (right after CPU name listing) when my Canon MP390 multifuntion USB printer is connected.  I already know its caused by a conflict between the printer's card reader and the mobo, something maybe related to the mobo trying to boot on the card reader.  Could be something else, but for now that's the only explanation i could find.
    I red all post here concerning USB boot problems (or delays) and tried everything i could and red without results 
    Things that have been done (and much more!) :
    - Flashed to latest v1.5 BIOS
    - Disabled booting to other devices in BIOS leaving only floppy, cdrom and HD as bootable devices
    - Disabled support for USB KB/storage devices in BIOS
    - Unplugged Mitsumi floppy/cardreader combo drive (USB internal)
    - Unplugged front panel USB and D-Bracket2
    - 2 days of various tests with other computers, printers, psu, USB devices I had in store
    I'm about to give up on this one!  ..  Anyone got ideas other than buying a new multifuntion printer?  Could it be a defective mobo?
    Thanks!

    Tested it and it works  You might have to fiddle around with the cooler a bit - There's a capacitor next to the PCIE slot wich is in the way
    Only 1 card tho, you can't run SLI on this board as the 8800GTX requires a full x16 slot and won't work on a x8 slot
    so x8 - x8 SLI won't work.
