Here it is: MSI with a brand new official bios 1.2!!!!!!! 
Long awaited by hundreds of customers with a new winnie and the K8N Neo4 Platinum.....
OK, i flashed the new bios, i hit the 220x9, i hit the 220x8 and then i wanted to hit my screen fullspeed with my fist cause that damn thing stays blank!!     
That was the last chance for MSI...the waiting is over....I will get a DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D and all the sorrow is gone!! And my K8N Neo4 (which is definitly NOT hot stuff for the Enthusiast!) will be sold on ebay! Or maybe i will  it with a big hammer!!! ARGHHHH!!!!
Peace, Hammer1024
It's just your CPU that is giving you problems. You won't get any higher with a DFI. Trust me...
This '220HTT POST' problem is just something that some winchester CPU's seem to suffer. This is NOT a Neo4 problem.
How do I know this?
I had exactly the same issue with a 3200+ and a Neo4. Couldn't get it to post over HTT220 even tough I could get it stable in windows at much higher speeds using Clockgen.
Tried a different mainboard -> same thing!
Tried different 3200+  -> Problem solved!
Tried the new 3200+ on the Neo4 -> No problems.
So don't start blaiming your board and talking trash before you try another CPU!

  • Looking for bios version 1.7 for K8N Neo4 FI - plz help, it's urgent

    i bought myself a new K8N Neo4 FI yesterday together with a msi nx6600gt and an A64 3200+ Venice e6 and when i booted up the bios said i had 1gb of ram @ ddr266 in single channel mode. i tried to set it to 200mhz ddr but it wouldn't go so i installed win xp anyway and when i tried to run 3dmark i got artifacts all over. someone suggested that i downgrade to 1.8 so i did and my artifact probs went away so now i still have to deal with my memory and for that someone else suggested to me that i downgrade to 1.7 until the next bios comes out so i tried looking for version 1.7 and after about 4 hours of searching i still have nothing to show for it. can someone plz plz plz tell me where i can find it???

    Not to mention if you're gonna buy a 2nd power supply, why not buy one good enough to feed all of that hardware.  Good reliable brand name PSUs aren't as costly as some might think, it's actually a rather cheap price to pay for peace of mind.
    As for knowing if it will solve your problem or not, we can't garantee, you might have more than one problem in your system.  The PSU is definitely a problem, but there is no garantee everything will suddenly fall into place after you change it.

  • Water cooling for K8N Neo4

    I am thinking about trying out an alternative cooling method for my motherboard. Core Center reads my CPU Temp at 125 F and System Temp at 129 F on average.
    Wanted to know if anyone has tried any water cooling kits that fit on this motherboard msi K8N Neo4 Platinum.

    I have the regular CPU heatsink/fan that came with the AMD64 X2 4800+ CPU. I have a Cooler Master Cavalier 3 case with One 80 x 80 x 25 mm Front Fan ( intake) and One 120 x 120 x 25 mm Rear Fan ( exhaust ), also has like a CPU air duct on the side panel.
    Just wanted to know if anyone with the same motherboard has been able to fit a waer cooling or A/C type cooling that will clear the voltage regulators or other parts around the CPU.

  • BIOS FOR K8n neo platinum

    A while back there was a big post about how to properly upgrade your bios and he had listed every bios beta or official for download.  Anyone have that post? and What is the best bios for the K8n Neo platinum? Im still running on 1.1....

    Quote from: Supershanks on 09-June-05, 04:24:05
    Just the usual bios to bios temp tweak - no worries   
    Have been running with speedfan with a 4C offset think i can dith it now with 1.8 
    Higher or lower?
    Hmmm... My SpeedFan is running with no delta adjustments on the temps. I wonder if there is a discrepancy in what it's reporting & what it actually is after you boot into Windows
    I'd try to go by what the Hardware Monitor says, but temp's always seem to be high when you're in BIOS anyway....

  • Problem building Norton Ghost Boot diskettes for K8N Neo4-F motherboard

    We recently purchased 25 sets of the following components to build computers for a classroom.
    MSI K8N Neo4-F (bios Award ver1.A0)
    AMD Athlon 3200+ 939 pin
    Kingston DDRRAM 400 512 mg
    ATI Saphire
    Enlight 300 Watt  +3V/25A, +5V/25A and +12V/15A
    Western Digital 80 gig 7200 rpm IDE drive
    Sony DVD/CD_RW combo drive
    Windows XP Pro sp2
    The computers work fine, however we have been unsuccessfull in building a Norton Ghost boot diskette for these systems.  The motherboard has an onboard Marvell gigbit LAN chip but neither the BIOS or WinXP or the install CD recognize this chip.  All three think the motherboard LAN is an Nvidia. The NVIDA drivers work fine in Win XP but when we attempt to build the boot diskette if we use the NDIS drivers supplided on the install CD for the Marvell LAN the boot diskettte can't find the Marvell controller chip.  If we use the NVIDIA NDIS drivers the boot diskette finds the controller but gives us the following error "media test failed check cable".  The cable is fine because we can go ahead and boot into Win XP and everything works fine. 
    I know that the Marvell gigibit LAN has a virtual cable tester built in but I could not find any discussion of this chip on either the MSI, Marvell or NVIDIA sites.  We added a 3COM PCI LAN card to one of the motherboards and the boot diskette will work fine wit hthis combination. I would like to find a cleaner solution if possible.
    Regards,
    jdraper

    What you need is a compatible NDIS driver.  I am not 100% sure about the hardware.  I know their site says a Marvell 88E1111 PHY, but you still use nVIDIA drivers.  Here is a link to download basic NDIS drivers:

    These drivers will also assist someone trying to use WinPE as well.

  • Modded bios for K8N Neo-54G Platinum

    Hi,
    i've noticed that there are some modded bios versions available for the K8N (i.e. at syar2003's collection). My question is now whats the difference between them and the MSI versions (especially between the latest 1.56 versions)?
    Edit: Has anyone allready used the modded bios 1.56 and has he got any performance boost?

    Hehe , don't consider yourself a retard for this .
    MSI's naming of theese boards is pretty simular and can cause theese
    kinds of confusions .You are not the first one .
    Anyway it was good you got the mishap resolved so quick
    and got up and running again.
    Look for radical_53 's post he has made a "Neo2" bios with nvraid ide rom bios 4.66 . Send him a message and he will email it to you ,i'm sure.
    Vdimm voltage is not coming any higher i think , either for Neo1 or Neo2 .
    Guess it has to do with board design , selection of regulator IC , and
    the fact that msi runs mem from the 3.3v line (some voltage level will always be missed due to the components and regulation)
    If you want really high vdimm there is just one way and that is hardmodding
    the motherboard and that can be a risky affair bothe for board/mem and cpu
    if things go wrong.
    Other alternative is another mobo .
    DFI's s754 takes vdimm from +5v and there is a modded bios that gives upto 4v for memory. They have a s939 board ready thats being betatested , but it's not released yet.
    MSI K8N boards have pretty desent max vdimm compared to many others .
    This is what i have found on some others :
    Gigabyte max VDIMM 2.7v
    MSI K8N Neo2 VDIMM 2.85v
    DFI Lanparty UT VDIMM 4.0v (s754 with modded bios)
    Asus K8N VDIMM 2.8v (some PCB's max 2.7v)
    Epox VDIMM 2.8v
    Chaintech VDIMM 2.9v

  • Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W for K8N NEO4 Platinum

    after much debacle of what psu to propel my MSI K8N NEO4 Platinum (Non SLI model) it has become clear to me that the only real choice i have within my reach is the thermaltake silentpurepower 480w, this is simply the best power supply i can get down here (Colombia, South America) and the most expensive one too.
    i have done my fair share of research on the matter and have found a number of people using this power supply to power systems based on the K8N NEO4 Platinum, even some have been bold enough to use the SLI version of the board with this power supply.
    so i guess its go for broke time on the matter, any feedback ?

    Quote from: Stick on 26-January-06, 23:13:33
    i have the buterfly model http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/2005/purepower/W001920.htm
    it has a 20 pin connector and a 20 to 24 pin convertor, so you can plug it in both ways
    from what ive seen its the same psu with different accesories, but its the same psu, so i guess this is it. Im gonna connect the 20pin to the 24 connector in the motherboard as those 20 to 24 adapters dont seen to generate any kind of trust in me, i guess as long as i keep my present setup and i dont overclock everything should run just fine.
    many thanks...

  • 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.

  • BIOS for K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Hi to all. 
    Just wanted to know what's the best and most stable bios for my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I'm currently running ver. 1.B, but I've read that ver. 1.9 is the best. Just wanted to know everyone's thought on this one.
    In case ver. 1.8 is better,
    ¿can I flash my bios to ver. 1.9 from 1.B without having any problems?
    ¿Is ver. 1.9 better for overclocking?
    Thanks.

    if you wanna OC, then Syar's BIOS is the best bet; its the one i use
    I agreed with you Stu as I'm also using Syar's Bios 1C.  

  • Largest SATA drive for K8N Neo4 Platinum

    I have a system based on the K8N Neo4 Platinum board, I'm planning to up, the storage capacity of my rig and was wondering if I can install a 500 GB or larger SATA or SATA II drive on it?
    to make long story short I would like to know whats the largest Hard Drive (either IDE or SATA) one can install on a system with this board without problems or compatibility issues.
    I presently have a Maxtor Diamond Plus 80GB SATA drive,
    Any takers??? ???

    I see no problems, just try it.
    As for a Sata-II drive, don't take Maxtor, any other drive should be fine.
    However, you maybe must jumper it to SATA-1, depends on the onboard controller.

  • New Bios for K8N Neo 2?

    I belong to the overlockers.com forum. People over there are dropping MSI's left and right because of stability issues and overclocking problems. This is not to mention the quirky temp readings and vcore settings. It seems that some of these issues could be addressed by a new bios. These same issues have been fixed by Epox with their bios updates. When is MSI going to get this done? I suggest it should be soov or the reputation of this board and MSI are going to ake a beating.

    I have tried this so called 1.52 Beta Bios on my K8N Neo2 Platinum, it flashed well but when i tried to restart my System,
    it will run for 1-2 seconds then it shuts off !!!!! No Post - Just shut off !!
    I have tried to clear the Cmos two times but there is always the same Problem. Bootblock Disc doesn´t work neither.
    What can I do ? Please help ?
    GREETZ
    OMG that could of been me. I was going to flash those yesterday.  but i got worry, and ask myself y haven't any1 post back on the forum. so i was think it could of screw up their MOBO. I was gonna post a warning about it but, it was late and i got lazy.
    I could of save your MOBO but, My laziness killed your board.
    anyway i hope u get fix. 

  • 3.0A BIOS for K8N Diamond Plus

    New BIOS available on the MSI website - http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
    It's v3.0A, 492kb, dated 3/21/2006.
    Downloaded it this morning without checking it, thinking it was the 3.09 BIOS and wanting to test the problem people reported with the Marvell ethernet controller.  Turns out it was the 3.0A bios and the Marvell controller shows up fine in Windows Device Manager.  So, anyone having that problem with 3.09 should check this out...
    In addition, I'm pretty certain the 300HTT limit has been removed too (I'm sure I tested at 305 this morning, although I wasn't stable anyway).

    TimeReaper,
    The problems your are talking about are not uncommon with this MS-7220.  The BIOS Clear Circuit physically has problems and that is not something they are going fix with a BIOS upgrade.
    The BIOS Clear Circuit actually trashing the values stored in the CMOS by not doing a complete clearing of the CMOS is causing the problem.  What leaves trash for parameters, for the BIOS to use when rebooting.
    Let give you an example that fits your case.  You can set the BIOS to turn the system on at any give time and date.  So, if the trash in CMOS is in those parameters storage location.  Therefore, whatever trash value gets stored in the locations, as a dated and time, will turn the computer on at that time.  So, you could of had the computer come on in the meddle of the night two week later.  Now, think of all the functions the BIOS have and how many weird things people are having and do not know why.  There is one guy that is a regular on the Forum how has been fighting a problem I know is caused by trash in the BIOS CMOS, but Strick and I have ask him to do a good CMOS clearing and he just will not do it.  I even wrote out in great deal the over night CMOS clear procedure I use.  It is a pain in the ass, but some times, I have too use it.  I just had to use it, upgraded V3.09 using short CMOS Clear and had no problem.  Used the short procedure again when upgrading to V3.0A and everything when to hell, had to finally use the long overnight procedure and reinstall Windows to get computer to run right again.
    NoBS, when your computer goes BOOO during the night just plain it o MSI.
    Roger
    When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it. 

  • New BIOS for K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Version 1.1
    - Support CPU FSB to 350MHz.
    - Incorrect message during POST after CPU over clocking.
    - Support Sempron CPU.
    - Ghost rate is slow with RAID0 under DOS mode.

    Quote
    Anyone noticed a slight slowdown of the processor? I'll have to get back home to doublecheck all BIOS settings, but checking this with Sandra (which has been accurate so far for CPU speed testing) BIOS 1.0 and 1.1 showed identical speeds...BIOS 1.2 is 10% slower.
    let us know what you find out....curious myself because i already checked bios and nothing changed after update
