OC MSI K8N NEO-FSR

is there any problems with OC this mobo..
MSI K8N NEO-FSR MS-7030 NVIDIA nForce3 250GB 754
and can the cpu be OC without OC the ram to
Cheers Lads

you keep memory freq. in range by setup mem. index. e.g. for CPU HTT 250 with mem. index of 166, will produce memory freq. 200Mhz.

MSI K8N NEO-FSR BIOS Flash Corrupt

So there was an updated BIOS for my motherboard version 1.8 while I had 1.7. I went ahead and updated and it went fine. But then I noticed that my CPU speed was dramatically reduced and the multiplier was set to 5.0 giving me a 1ghz CPU. While I thought maybe the CMOS needed to be cleared I went ahead and did that but to no avail I wasnt able to fix that problem. I went over to the MSI Live Update to check for a new BIOS update and it had said that I had 1.8 version while the current version is 1.7. Just a few days before it said 1.8 was the latest. Hmmm. So I went off to the MSI website to find version 1.7 and downloaded it. To my surprise version 1.8 was available on the MSI website. I used the WinFlash program to flash my BIOS. Before doing so I closed all open applications including anti-virus, browsers, chatting programs, and so forth. But the flash was going VERY slow and it stopped with unable to verify bios. This made me scared pooless. After I restarted to no surprise my computer started up with BIOS Checksum error and asked for a floppy. I didn't have a floppy drive connected at the time but the computer shut itself off automatically. So I went and connected and floppy and looked up online at the MSI website about how to recover the BIOS. I found it and for my AWARD bios i followed the procedure. But each time it detects the floppy drive and then the computer shuts itself off. Even if i have no disc inside the floppy drive it'll shut off. Is it supposed to do this? I am unable to reflash my BIOS because of this behavior. I don't know what the cause of this problem is now. Did maybe the recovery portion of the BIOS get corrupted too? Please help. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advanced. My specs are below btw:
MSI K8N NEO FSR
AWARD REV. 1.8
AMD ATHLON 3200+ 754
PDP 2x512MB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra
Ultra-X 500watt
WD 160GB IDE, Seagate 200GB IDE
Pioneer D-A07
Windows XP SP2, Gentoo Linux, Ubuntu Linux

Okay I tried taking unnecessary stuff out but it didn't help. I'm actually having the same problem this guy is having : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=86508.0
Hmm looks like i might be in for a new motherboard or i can try the RMA process but I dont know how long that will take. Other than that...I dont know what to do. I could buy myself a new bios flash chip but they're damn expensive and I'd rather just buy a new motherboard. On another note I noticed that when I boot up the pc and i see that it detects the floppy I immediately pressed the reset button but it'll still shut down. So it's as if there is a timer somewhere. What the hell is up with this? It also seems MSI didn't release bad BIOS releases for my board only. Seems like people with other boards are having tons of problems with the latest BIOS releases.

[ram]Kingston + MSI K8N Neo-FSR?

my system:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+, 2.0ghz
MSI K8N Neo-FSR(bios 1.40)
Asus V9999 GeForce 6800 256MB Gamer Ed. AGP
Audigy 2 zs
Win xp pro sp1
Hiper power 420W
I just bought the Kingston ValueR. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB Kit w/two matched ValueRAM 512MB.
When I boot up the pc just makes a sound piip piip piiip continuing....
I can't do anything since it wont boot up & i tried diffrent dimm slots but it didn't work :(
Earlier i've set the settings to t1 & the volt to 2.56 from before. Does this has something to do with it ? How can I reset the bios if I can't even get in dos :s
What should I do ?

Reset the cmos using the Jumper, is you have a manual it will show you where this is located. It will set the Bios back to Default,then you have to set it up the way you want it again. To get the RAM working set it to DDR333=166, that should sort out the No Post.
Your going to be out of luck here as the 'support' is basicaly non-existent, or just replies from people trying to get their post count up higher, I'm afraid to say.
Good luck.

Ms-7030 msi k8n neo fsr wont start

i made my system a follows.
amd 2800+ 64
msi k8n neo fsr
kingston 400mhz ddr value ram
6600gt inno3d agp
wd800 80gb hardrive
300 watts psu
brought the system home everything was working fine except for continous stuttering on hl2. also wid it came a smart cobra lite 56k modem from zoltrix, which was installed while makign the system, the modem had been deteced but when i tried to connect to the net, the status of the modem was found to be not connected, i removed the modem, restarted by switching the pci slots and everything but to no avail, put in an older zoltrix modem from my old pc, to no avail the modem just wudnt get recognized. the same modem though worked in my older p3 system. i took the systm to the place where they assembled it.as the system booted the modem got deteced, got winxpsp2 installed wid a fresh install. everything worked fine for a day untilt eh modem once again went back into death mode.took it back to the hardware shop i remember they were using an older keyboard on it too, well as they pressd the power button, the cpu fan and the gfx card fan moved a second and then stopped no booting
they replaced mobo then and there. even the same problem occured wid the new mobo, i left the system there to be tested but the thing i dont understand is they had assembled an tested the system by using the old keyboard and even then there was no problem. this time the system was working but as it reached the assemblers the cpu and gfxs card fan moved a sec as if power was fed for a second and dided changed psu's on one try on dry boot that is widout hd connected. the fans continously worked we removed power put into chasis and tried again to start but to no avail.
cud it really be the keyboard problem if that is solved then the problem left to deal wid is the modem wud the pci slots act the same way even on the newer board or chaning modems wud do any good, changed rams also that wudnt help booting either.
in both of the new mobos i didnt get the msi sticker that adds to my frustration.
posted this on another forum too, tha guy was havng problem using an older keyboard.

its really nice of u guys to reply so quickly its really appreciated. the thing is if the psu wasnt upto the job it wud have given away 3 days ago. but it didnt other psu tried also same problem. after a couple of hours ill be off to the hardware shop to see wat came out. the ram was reseated properly on all 3 slots.
plus the 300watts psu may not even be 300 cuz its locally made and stupid quality maybe lower to around 250, but the system worked fine all along, checked rail supplies on the mobo mopnitor and they seemed fine.will keep u guys updated.

Strange Temp Jumps on MSI K8N Neo-FSR

Hi!
I got a MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
My temp in speedfan jumps from 36 to 42 just like that then back to 36.
It's pretty disturbing to see that.. And I wounder does someone else have the same problem? Then I don't know how accurate the new BIOS for this mb is. On the Abit I hade before the temp was 34 idle.. Today I allso bend the small metal pice that you screw in on the Zalman ALCU cpu cooler so it would fit and press harder, then the temp sank from 42 to 36 idle. And the CoreCenter shows a temp on 44 now and speedfan 36 but jumps to 40-42 just for a second.
Anyone know what the problam can be? It's kinda anyoing when you OC some because you don't know the right temp.

You should try and update your bios , speedfan and core center showed different temperatures for me too until i updated my bios. On the other hand i have a different problem, that is: when i start my pc(cold start) my idle temperature is 40 degrees but if i restart it drops to 30, does someone have any clue why?

MSI K8N Neo FSR Game port ??? !!!

Hi,
I can't install my game port from my Creative sound card, i have try namy drivers ... I have try a another sound card, Aztech PCI288 and i have the same probleme.
Impossible to have game port !
I need a solution, this is must do working ! i can't take ma Sidewinder in the "poubelle" ! (C'est du francais )
MSI found me a solution !
bye

I get response from MSI as the following.
As the chipset on K8N Neo-FSR is nForce 3, due to the design limitation of nForce chipset, it can not support Legacy I/O decode device. However, most game port on PCI card belongs to legacy I/O decode mode, so the game port could not be used.
In fact, currently most game port on legacy I/O decode device is replaced by the corresponding USB type device. You can use USB port game devices instead of game port on PCI card.
It seems that we could not use the game port on sound card on nvidia platform.

MSI K8N Neo FSR HELP!!!

Hello,
Just bought a msi k8n neo board with amd 64 +3200 processor combo. I have everything plugged in correctly ( i hope) and when i boot up the system hangs for a bit Detecting the IDE Drives. Once it has finished detecting it goes on Detecting the DMI Pool Data, after that I get an error that reads. "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter." Sometimes it will skip or finish the DMI pool data detection and attempt to start windows but I get a blue screen that says I will need to reboot my system.
Please please please help!!!

does it manage to detect any ide devices at all? if not then its probable maste/slave jumper settings... if it does detect them, then its probably cos u need to install windows

you keep memory freq. in range by setup mem. index. e.g. for CPU HTT 250 with mem. index of 166, will produce memory freq. 200Mhz.

Looking for MSI K8N Neo 'Spare part'

I have an MSI K8N Neo-FSR that I recently bought from Newegg.
Awesome board, very happy with it so far, BUT....it didn't come with the back plate! You know, the part that fits over the ports - USB, PS/2, serial, parallel, etc - that mounts to the PC's chasis?
Missing!
If anyone has a spare one that would fit a K8N Neo-FSR, I'd really appreciate them getting in touch with me! Email addy is in profile!

You can e-mail MSI Customer Service and ask them for one and they will more than likely send it to you. I bought a refurbished MSI motherboard last year and when I asked them for an I/O Shield, they asked if there was anything else I needed for my motherboard. They shipped it UPS and I got it in a couple of days (no charge to me). They're pretty good about standing behind thier stuff, so it's worth a shot.

Cannot find the Power Led connector for JFP1 to connect on K8N Neo FSR

Hi,
I have just bought the MSI K8N Neo FSR (MS 7030) to build a new computer with (amongst others) an Athlon 64 3000 processor and an Enermax 3051 case.
I can't even get a start: if I click on "Power" I just get a red light under the Power button for 1 second and nothing start.
This may be related with the fact that I did not find a "Power LED" connector for JFP1 (I have connected all the others connectors, including the Power LED one for JFP2).
Thank you in advance for your help.
Precisions:
At the beginning, I had forgotten to connect the ATX 12V power connector on JPW1.
After having done that without getting an improvement, I did a Clear CMOS (after having unplug the power cable).
Now the CPU fan begins to turn just when I switch the power on from back of the case (and not from the power button) and stops turning after five seconds.
Sometimes, I get an orange light during 1/2 second on the D-bracket LEDs.

evidently if he fixed it, the solution was posted elsewhere
so what have you tried so far? has this system ever worked?
post your PSU specs. try powering up board outside the case in case there is a short somewhere
I have tried a different power unit, different JFP1 configerations, removing and replacing MB battery, changing the jumper settings on JBAT1 to clear CMOS.
Everything is just dead, no power anywhere. I get the fan light inside the Power unit to light up for 1 second when i connect the power cable and thats it. Its a 450 Watt power unit so it should be plenty. Maybe i will try removing the board and starting it that way.
This system has never worked, i just built it.

K8N Neo-FSR v2.0 + Sempron 2800+ E6 = No Go?

Hello!
Wanted to assemble a rig for playing around with Ubuntu 64-Bit, so I headed out and obtained ...
... a MSI K8N Neo-FSR v2.0 (7030-20C, shipped with BIOS 5.10)
... a AMD Sempron 2800+ (Palomino, Step E6)
Upon power-on it refuses to POST ---> 1 continous beep
If I recall the AWARD beep-codes correctly this means that the CPU failed to initialize.
Troubleshooting steps:
- Stripped down to board + CPU + 1x RAM + GFX -> No Go (1 beep)
- Stripped down to board + CPU + 1x RAM -> No Go (1 beep)
- Stripped down to board + CPU -> No Go (1 beep)
Meanwhile I tested the CPU and RAM in in another S754 board a friend borrowed me ... both work fine.
So this leads me to the question:
Does anyone has a clue what might be wrong here? I don't have greater experiences with nForce boards so my knowledge about them is very limited.
Thanks for helpful suggestions.
-Storm

This is the latest bios version of the 5X bios series (and should be a safe one since yours is currently running with 510).
http://download.msi.com.tw/support/bos_exe/mbd_bios/7030v54.zip
Don't know if it will add support for your cpu though.
Well ... as the changelog of the BIOS isn't exactly informative we would only know if I could get the board to POST so that I would be able to flash.
This however isn't a valid option as the board keeps on beeping upon power-on.

Theese 7030 boards have become unbelievable hard to track as there are so many versions released now.
ref: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=688
This page also lists another bios series to use 1X and 9X series
In addition it lists 2800 E6 Palermo as NONE (which means not verified/under testing)
Direct link to many 7030 boards bioses are also gone .
You're right --- I did some more investigation yesterday and became award of the "too many 7030's" issue. The one I'm referring to is actually the one you linked at (K8N Neo-FSR V2.0).
As the sticker on the flash reads v5.1 I assume the board is PCB rev. 1 ... as the 9.x BIOS seems to be for PCB v3.0 only.
Took a look through the CPU Support ... and ... WTH?
Only Turion CPUs and one A64 (step E6) is listed as compatible?
Guess we found the showstopper ... either the board or BIOS seems to dislike the E6 Sempron then. Hmm ... guess I either return the CPU or the board. It seems as getting a Turion would be the better choice as the shops in my area don't have anymore AGP S754 boards (and the same goes S939 boards). I only need a rig to play with server setup-scenarios of Ubuntu 64-Bit and no powerhorse for gaming or such.
Thanks for pointing me to the CPU support list ... I would have never dared to imagine that a board will only run with a limited set of AMD CPUs ...

[K8N NEO FSR] Running DDR 200?

I am currently using the 1.3 bios, and I see the 1.1 bios fixed this problem (or one very similar to it).
I have tried all three dimm slots and they will all run my ddr400 sticks at 200. Is this just a display bug? Should I get a new bios? Is it the ram?
AMD 64 3200+
MSI K8N NEO FSR (1.3 bios)
2 x 512mb pc3200 corsair value ram
eVGA Geforce 6800GT

Dual Data Rate.....200 x 2 = 400!!!
That is shown correct!
You are running at DDR400 speeds!!!

K8N Neo-FSR internet problem

I upgraded my old system to AMD 64 2800+, 1 GB RAM, and MSI K8N Neo-FSR. After that i reinstalled Windows XP. Everything's fine except that internet works terrible now with the onboard LAN. I'm using a DSL connection, and when i connect to the internet, everything works good for a few seconds, then upload and download speed goes to 0! After some time download speed comes back to that i had with my old system, but download stays at 0-1 KB/s. Sometimes I only get constant timeouts. I tried everything - updated BIOS, nVidia Ethernet drivers, tried different settings in Device manager, but nothing helps. I even bought a new PCI Ethernet card and tried connecting my modem to it and disabling the onboard LAN in BIOS, but even then everything's the same. Please help!

if the same problem goes for both addon and onboard ethernet then its not the motherboard as fault.
have you changed anything on the network settings ?
for me it works best with xp default settings.
changed cable ?
1 guy reported that cable number 10 worked but not the 9 previous.
is the dsl modem connected as it should and working ?
do you have a "web server" in the modem so you can check the connection on ?

K8N NEO FSR - wont detect HDs on first powerup (daily)

I'm having this strange problem ever since i installed this Motherboard.
First time I boot up(daily basis), it does not detect the hard drives.. any of them...
I get to the point where it notices my memory timings and says "Detecting hard drives.." (or something like that) and it just hangs there. I hit ctrl-alt-delete (also if i power it off then back on it works too) and when it comes back its fine.
Anyone had this before? Could be there's a quick fix but before I start to pick the system apart I wanted to check here first.
thanks

OK here are some specs:
AMD64 3200+ (Newcastle) - no OC
Generic 3200 DDR ram
MSI K8N NEO FSR (latest bios)
BFG 6800 OC (modded)
primary controller (ata) has: Maxtor 6Y060P0 & WDC WD800JB-00DUA3
secondary controller only has DVD-RW drive.
Sata controller has ST3120026AS
Same setup as in previous motherboard.
I guess i'll just need to check the cabling is secure once again, to be sure.
it seems this is not a common issue so most likely i can find something wrong other than with the mobo.
thanks
