NorthBridge Voltage and HTT Voltage Options K8N Neo Platinum

why msi doesnt add those options? i cant go over 230 without upping the NB voltage or the HTT, its impossible to go over without them, and they added 400fsb for what? this is just lame, the most important thing isnt in.

I'd like them on the Neo2 also :(

  • Jerky video and sound with my k8n neo platinum

    Hi:
    I wonder if any of you have had a similar problem.
    My system: K8N Neo Platinum Nvidia nForce 3 250 Gb, AMD 64fx 3200+, 1 gig memory Kingston PC 3200, Gigabyte Nvidia GForce Fx 5200  128 AGP video card, HD Seagate ST2120026A 120 gig, WD 40 gig, Toshiba DVD, Lite on DVD-RW. OS XP Pro SP2. Display Samsumg 17 Syncmaster 710V.
    The system worked like a champ for about a month, the all of a sudden it started playing videos and audio in a jerke mode, it would play a few frames and then pause for a fraction of a second and then start again.
    Please can anyone help?
    Thanx in avance

    Try uninstalling the graphics card drivers and then installing the latest ones.
    Also try defragging hard drive and cleaning unecessary programs from the computer and run windows update.

  • Dismal HTT Speeds with K8N Neo Platinum

    3200A63 CG Revision
    2x256 Kingston HyperX
    I can not get the HTT over 217 no matter what.  Tried all the different BIOSes and tried setting the Max Mem to 166...  Still nothing.
    I thought this was a overclockers board???
    When I also flashed to the new BIOS with winflash everything went fine until I rebooted where I got a CMOS Checksum Error (Pressed F1 to continue).  Loaded windows turned off machine, reset CMOS and everything was fine.
    No clue how the guys at anandtech.com got the board to 300HTT, someone must be pulling our sleeve.

    Well, people seem to have mixed sucess with high fsb :(
    I got 240x10 stable with the 1.1bios, and a clawhammer 2gh/1mb.
    My advice would be to set bios at 215, and work from there with clockgen, do makesure that you set agp to 67, and verify with clockgen, that agp/pci stays at 67/33 when raising HTT. And perhaps set the HTT to HTTx3, to eliminate that from causing unstability.
    And as SAB said, some gradual burn-in time will propobly help.
    Plz. note that I have my ram set at 166 (as I have the cheapest and most crappy ram available)
    Also, at higher HTT, the chipset temperature might be a concern, not sure about that, just the "feeling" i get

    I am trying to find the thread that was moved to the BIOS section? Can't find it.
    I've been really lucky with this OCing and putting stuff together. I'm self taught and 45. I got burnt in 1999 with a compaq presario 500mhz. I'm very poor and started reading. I did have a MSI board but can't remember what it was. Never used the new MB. OOOHHH... I just found the disk. It was a MSI M6340M.
    Thanks for the help so far and in the future. I am really tired of OC'ing the 2600+ mobile. Have I made it to the 64 group!?
    "I am trying to find the thread that was moved to the BIOS section? Can't find it."

  • K8n neo platinum highest voltage bios

    Hello , i'm new here, just got a k8n neo platinum board recently was wondering which bios version i should use as the current one is 1.5 from teh msi website but i'm limited to 1.7 vcore, i was wondering if theres any other bios that would let me get higher than 1.7 vcore?? thanks~~

  • MSI K8N NEO platinum and MOBILE chips

    I just found out a problem with MSI K8N NEO Platinum.
    I recently upgraded my cpu from Clawhammer DTR 3200+ 1.5V to Clawhammer Mobile 3400+ 1.4V (hoping for better overclocking). To my surprise the mainboard can no longer raise the VCore voltage over 1.45V (it doesn’t matter if I select in the bios 1.5 or 1.55V). The only working option is raising de VCore by 3.3% 5% 8.3% 10%, resulting in a maximum VCore of 1.45 + 1.45 x 10% = 1.6V
    I did some googeling and found there is a VCore issue with the K8N NEO and mobile chips, although DTR chips are fully supported (working VCore and multiplier adjustments).
    I am using the latest beta bios 1.56B (moded by Pinochio)
    Did any of you found a way to resolve this problem? IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
    6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

    Does your RAID shown you HEALTHY?
    The Raptor drive shows as healthy.
    Quote
    You may need to press F6 (using the NVIDIA raid driver for Win64 if you're using the RAID). As Win32 and Win 64 using different drivers.
    This has crossed my mind and is definitely on my list of things to try if all else fails.

    Have you enable the RAID Array as Bootable Drive in the Bios?
    All RAID options are enabled. I didn't touch the BIOS prior to starting the process. The RAID array wasn't listed in the BIOS as a bootable device. In fact, it wasn't listed at all. It was after I discovered this I used F10 to see if it was detected there. The drive was listed, but it wasn't bootable. I then made it bootable. After exiting this section, the PC booted straight into Windows. On the occasions when Windows started, I didn't go into the BIOS to see what it shows.

    But why you need to used the NFORCE3 instead of Nforce4 Drivers from the NVIDIA website?
    Because it's an nForce 3 board. Or are you saying the nForce 4 should work fine?

    I'm sure you've seen AMD advertise a 1600MHz HyperTransport in response to Intel's 800MHz FSB.
    To my knowledge, you can't use the 5x multiplier in Socket 754 (unless you underclock the Front Side Bus?)
    The 5x will be available on Socket 939.
    Ah.  That's very enlightening.  Thanks for the info.

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum and DTR

    Heya fellas,
    I was wondering if anyone know whether or not the new MSI K8N Neo Platinum will have support for the AMD Athlon 3200+ DTR chip?  I know some boards have had trouble with them and I'm hoping that this one, since its a new reviision, will conflict with it.
    Thanks,

    If that's the "Newcastle" version of the 3200+, it is supposed to work!

I got things working some times at random (really random lol) by taking power cables, reseting bios and turning back on but teh problem reapeared when I put HDD back and did not work again when I removed it. Now I can't seem to get it to display anything.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Thanks!
    Keyboard problem, you think? What do you have?
    Two things that are quite common:
    Do not attach PS2 keyboard when there is power in the system.
    Do attach USB keyboards when you are up and running in Windows.
    This is not it, but Logitech keyboard drivers often complicate things.
    I do use a PS2 kbd but never had problems with it (unlike teh PS2 mouse). I do not think it's kbd fault because it won't POST with or without it.

  • K8N Neo Platinum (NForce3 250GB) and SATA2?

    Hi!
    I have MSI K8N Neo Platinum with chipset NForce3 250GB. It has SATA Controller. Can someone tell me (with certainty), if I can install a SATA 2 drive? (Once I contacted Maxtor, they told me that I would rather not install a SATA2 drive in a NForce3 250GB based mobo) Has anyone had a problem with a SATA2 drive in this mobo?
    my pc is:
    AMD 64 3000+
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    2*512MB Kingston DDR400
    200GB SATA SEAGATE
    320GB SATA WD
    Thanks in advance! 

    Figures , as Maxtor is the vendor that has problems with their sataII DiamondMax drives on nforce3/4 buildt in sata controllers.
    However , Hitachi T7K250 250GB SATA2 is one that works flawlessly on nforce3 .
    They are also set to sataI from manufacturer .

  • K8n neo Platinum and Optical Drive problem?

    I need some help figuring this out.  I've been searching for awhile but can't find any more information so I figured I'd ask here.  
    I have a Lite on LDW 411s dvd writer that is on the same ide channel as a lite on dvd player (labled as JLMS SJ-HD1665 in the device manager.
    The problem is on the 411S where it will read the DVD/CD disk but when I try to use Cyberlink PowerDVD or Nero Recode to play or read the DVD it will just hang.  If I don't try to play these files and just open them in explorer then I can access them.  
    I'm trying to see if there are some conflict issues with the nforce drivers but am still looking.  
    My setup is this.

    You might have better luck making the reader the slave on the channel your HD is on. I had both a burner/writer on the same channel and while it worked, the performance was very poor.
    Man, I need to get around to posting my specs someday, but I have the same MB and BIOS as you. I'm also using the nForce unified drivers including IDE.

  • K8N Neo Platinum and WD 74gb Raptor = HELL

    Hey,
    Typically I'm not one to post on forums and to be honest, this is the first major problem that I have ever encountered that I have not been able to find a solution for. I currently purchased a 74gb WD Raptor that my K8n Neo Platinum detects flawlessly. I then attempted to install windows xp on it, but right after the post screen i keep getting a "Error Loading Operating System" message.
    I have tried flashing my bios... Installing the SATA drivers that came with the motherboard (and also ones that i downloaded and found on the MSI CD that came with the mobo)... I have also tried messing with various BIOS settings that seem relevant to what my problem might be... I've also tried changing my boot order and other such things... I also tried using fdisk, the winxp repair that comes on the disk, fixmbr, fixboot and other such things...
    I'm completely out of ideas. Someone please tell me what to do!!!!! I've been at this for 2 days already and still have absolutely no idea why I'm having problems with this.    
    I've searched many forums with no luck and have experimented with various possibilities... Someone help me!!!!!!!!!!! :(

  • K8N Neo Platinum and Maxtor HD problem

    I have a K8N Neo Platinum MB with the v1.3 Bios installed.
    I have 2 physical HDs:
    IDE Primary Master: 120G Western Digital WD1200JB (7200RPM)
    IDE Primary Slave: 120G Maxtor 6Y120L0 (7200RPM)
    The MB sees both drives in the BIOS, however, in Windows XP, I only see the master drive. The slave drive is not recognized within windows. I tried finding the slave drive with the MS Computer Management application and PartitionMagic as well - neither can see the slave drive.
    There is something strange about the BIOS screen.
    You can see that the primary master is highlighted (in red). The primary slave drive is visibly but it's not showing properly. You can see that the name of the slave drive is all the way to the left and the "]" character is all the way on right panel, next to "Press [Enter]". The name of the slave drive is wrong. The BIOS is showing something garbled. It looks something like "8t/r 6!128". It's tottaly confused :(
    I can even select the primary slave drive:
    That's not right!
    Pressing enter on the slave drive shows the slave drive (Maxtor 120G) properies:
    However, Windows XP will not recognize the slave drive.
    I ain't sure what wrong but it appears to be a BIOS problem - why would the BIOS display be so messed up like that ??
    I'm not sure what to do.   :(

    Yea, I'm really mad because not only will this board not recognize my slave driver properly, it may have also killed my X800 Pro video card  
    I moved my working X800 Pro video card from my old MB to my new one and when I turned it on, the X800 Pro was dead.
    I then reinstalled my old MB, hoping it was merely a faulty MB that was the problem, however, my X800 Pro is quite dead now  
    I'm not sure if it was me who damaged the X800 Pro or it was the MSI K8N motherboard - either way it's dead  
    My experence so far with my new MSI MB has been horrible !!  

Maybe you are looking for
