    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........

  • 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 northbridge fan

    The fan on my northbridge(K8N neo4 plat ultra) has died on me.   Is there a replacement that is orderable? or am I looking at replacing the mobo?

    I had one of these laying around & mounted it to my Neo4 as soon as I took it out of the box - Because I heard plenty of bad things about the stock fan.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835110103
    Very quiet, cools great (never exceeds 32C) & fits perfectly.
    You can see a pic of it mounted here - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=93129.360

  • How to SET or Configure BIOS to use XFX6200 TC video card for MSI K8N NEO4 Plat.

    Hello Friends,
    Can any body help me to the following problem?
    I am having XFX 6200 TC Geforce / nvidia Grafix card for my MSI K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra board.
    The BIOS states PCIE clock speed as 100 Mhz as default.  The setting can be changed upto 145Mhz.
    My Video card can be configured upto 350 Mhz.  How to do this and which is the right way to use the display card with optimum setting?
    Thanks for all those who reply to this.

    the coolbits link http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=815
    to manually set the clocks on the graphic card, after installing coolbits, just follow the instruction on that page:
    Quote
    Unpack the achive (self extracting) and then in the setup directory simply click on the .reg file. To get to these options simply right-click on your desktop and go to 'NVIDIA Analog Display' (Win XP/2003). For Win 2000 and lower you may need to get to the Nvidia Control Panel the old way. Right click desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > GeForce xxxx
    for overclocking just take a look at the overclocking sections of the forum. make sure to read the stickies before you do anything.

  • Power Supply Selecton for K8N Neo4 Plat. Ultra

    I am looking at 3 PSU's for this MotherBoard and following setup below.
    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Ultra Socket 939
    MSI NX6600GT PCIE Video Card
    2- WD Raptors 36 GB
    1- DVD/RW
    1- CD/RW
    2- Sticks Crucial Ballistic 1GB Matched Pair
    1- Floppy Drive
    2- 120mm Case Fans
    2- 80mm Case Fans
    Windows XP Pro SP2
    Power supplies in question:
    OCZ45012U 3.3v Rail=28a  5v Rail=45a  12v Rail=26a  INPUT 10/6a
    OCZ52012U 3.3v Rail=28a  5v Rail=45a  12v Rail=26a  INPUT 12/6a
    Rosewill RP550 3.3v Rail=30a  5v Rail=50a  12v Rail=35a
    The only difference I can see in the 2 OCZ's, is the INPUT. The 450 OCZ is about a $30.00 cheaper than the 520 OCZ.
    Can someone tell me what effect the INPUT amp would make??
    Thanks for any and all advice.
    Modified by workknot to complete the Post. 
    Regards; Pop's

    Thanks to all that have responded to this topic. I did some more searching and was able to determine some more facts on both of the OCZ PSU's.
    OCZ45012U  3.3v = 28a  5v = 45a  12v = 26a  Peak Load 60 Sec. 550W   INPUT 10/6a   Price: $89.99
    OCZ52012U  3.3v = 28a  5v = 52a  12v = 28a  Peak Load 60 Sec. 620W   INPUT 12/6a   Price: $108.99
    Now I can clearly see that the OCZ52012U is stronger on the +5V rail and the +12V rail. For less than $20.00 in the prices, I have for now decided to go with the OCZ52012U and it looks as though it will suit my needs just fine. The confusion to start with was some information on the NewEgg site that had some specs incorrect. I found the correct specs by looking directly at the power supply stickers on both units.

  • 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....

  • Neo4 Plat CPU and VGA cooling

    Just wanted to get a few opinions on good and quiet cooling for my CPU and Vid card.
    Neo4 Plat board; AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU
    GeForce 6800 Ultra
    I've read a lot of reviews and it seems that Zalman is the quietest way to go.
    VF700-AlCu for Vid card
    and
    CNPS7000-AlCu for CPU
    Is anyone using this setup, can you post your opinions?
    Other recommendations?
    Thanks.

    Agree with that GPU cooler 
    I used to have a Arctic silencer, but the fan is only balanced @100% (I tested 3), therfore to noisy 4 my taste. I put the Zalman on the NBfan connector, and the NB fan on a handy 5v connector that came with the Zalman.
    This way corecenter manages the fan speed, which is handy cus the Zalman also blows over the HTT hub hsf 8)
    Best cooler 4 ur board is the thermalright XP90, according to this list:
    http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/p4sum.asp
    Get a Vantec Stealth or Panaflo fan to mount on it. @stock u should be able to keep it round 1000rpm.

  • Neo4 Plat Wont recognize any keyboard!

    Just put my computer together

    ati x800xl
    audigy2 zs
    AMD 3200+ Venice

    It boots but it gets stuck on the the "hit del to enter bios" screen. Only thing is it wont recognize any keyboard i hook up to it, usb or serial.
    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!

    Quote from: delirious? on 16-June-05, 15:51:22
    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.

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

    This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
    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.

  • 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 Platinum Ultra nForce4 no post.

    Took the cpu off and cleaned it, upgraded the video card started the computer and no post. Led's 1,3,4, green 2 red. Took cpu out and checked it no bent pins, checked all connections. Sometimes when it boots it will have 4 green led's but no video. Tried another vid card same thing. Tried booting and holding the insert, cont+home, F1, delete keys. Get power to the fans and hear the HDD sometimes.

    No posts to your post either  LOL
    Anyway - could be fans causing it - I had my Neo not booting until I disconnected a case fan from the mobo fan header output.
    Try with just leaving the cpu fan (could also be this one of course) .

  • 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!

    It might be related with BIOS. The BIOS 1.65 seems to resolve the quick boot issue. You can get it from MSI to try it.

  • MSI neo4 plat(non sli) sound problem.... and other problem...

    hi
    (sorry for my poor english)
    FIRST ISSUE
    ok here is the deal, i got no sound when using the rear panel of the mother board... but when i use the front panel of my case there no problem and i get sound....
    after reading a lot on sound problem i try first to change my bios so i check the 1.8 and the 1.6 but still no result... , i also try to use the nvidia sound drive instead of the raitek one.... but still nothing ... in the system all appeare to be ok, windows dont detect any conflict on hardware on so one... even the nvidia mixer equaliser move... but no output...
    i also read a litle about the compatibylity issue betwen the mobo and the atx2 PSU standard with the using of the 5v pin...,but as far i read it seem that this is only on the sli version...do this issue also concernt the non sli version ?can this explain my problem ?
    SECOND
    i got from time to time a bleu screem with the message DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL.... can someone now what can cause this ?
    thank

    Hi!
    I am also facing this problem with my K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra.
    I have even tested my PC with a PSU which is having -5v in it's rating.
    I have also requested a help from MSI Support.
    Their & My reply is as follows.
    But still my problem could not be solved.  My sound card as per the OS works fine and produces output.  But no audible output for humans to hear.
    This is the case with both front and rear panels.
    I have even sent the MB for RMA but here in India, people are fools.  Even from RMA the board was shipped back in the same faulty condition.  What to say?  Whom to curse?  Only money and 20days were spent waiting for repair and in wain.
    If any body can help it will be very nice.
    Here is my reply to MSI:
    My K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra - earlier was giving good quality sound output. Later after 15 days of using this board, it does not give any audible sound at all. But through headphone socket of cd player I am able to receive good quality sound.
    And also while using CD Player to play audio tracks, the output is very intermitent and feeble with lots of cracking noise and poor quality audio is heard.
    Through Windows Media Player no sound is heard at all.
    I reinstalled win2000/Win2000Server/Win2003 XP Server. In all the platform sound problem exists. Any solutions?
    My PSU has 20amps in +12V rail and has no -5v. 24 pin adaptor with 400W.
    SATA HDD 80GB WD. 256*2=512mb DDR 400 Ram.
    CPU AMD 3000+ Winchester core.
    Thanks in advance.
    REPLY FROM MSI:
    Dear SoftWheels:
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
    With regard to yoru concern, we would like to know before the onboard sound function abnormally, if you have made any adjustment to your system hardware or software?
    And at this time would you please try to un-install the sound driver in the Add or Remove Program, then install the ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers refer to the link below, after this please first check if in Device Manager there is any yellow mark.

    AGAIN MY RESPONSE TO MSI:
    Dear Sir,
    Thanks for your reply. But reply does not solve my problem. I have tried all that you said in your reply.
    I have done nothing to hardware. No electrical problems or burning.
    Due to no sound, I have even totally zero filled my SATA hard disk, updated bios, re-installed
