Opteron 144 s939 & K8N Neo4-F

Can anyone tell me if they're compatible? How well would it overclock? Any links to Opteron overclocking would be appreciated. Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, the 144 is a single core CPU & it should "drop right in" with no changes.
The OC'ing potential is great for that CPU, I've heard of close to 2.7-8. But it all depends on your parts.
Might want to head over to the Overclockers section & see if anyone else has that setup.

MSI s939 k8n neo4-F Freezes while playing games

I got the following system:
MSI S939 K8N NEO4-F
AMD Athlon 64 S939 3200+
Twinmos DDRAM 3x 512 MB PC3200 400MHz
Western Digital 250GB 7200RPM SATA (8MB CACHE)
XFX GeForce 6600-GT 256MB PCI-X
when i'm trying to play the system sometimes just freezes can't do anything accept pressing the reset button. Mostly I get it while playing games (mostly Battlefield 2, UT2004, Day of defaet source) While playing or sometimes just in the menu of the game my screen freezes and i hear a last sound. i've runned a memtest before, so my memory isn't the problem, i also tried several drivers on my system (nforce drivers and nvidea drivers for the graphic card). All the temperatures are good to (between 25 and 40°C). Anyone else has this problem ? or did anyone else had this and solved it ?

about those timings how can i change them, i mean what program do i have to use ?
You have to go into BIOs to change your settings, look at your MB manual in the BIO sections for more info.
But according to CPUZ your timings are already set correctly so I would not worry about that right now.
Check the ram makers site for the timings of your ram to make sure that you are within thier specs.

the dual channel kit is now in slot 1 and 2 (the purple ones) but it still froze after 10minutes
Dual channel is 1 stick of ram in the purple slot and one in the green slot, make sure to use slot 1 & 2 as using 2&3 can cause problems. Slot 1 is the one closest to the CPU.

Opteron 185 and K8N Neo4-F compatibility?

Does anybody know if Opteron 185 and K8N Neo4-F (v 1.0) works together? There is nothing about Opteron 185 in MSI's CPU-support page (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support.php). I have the last BIOS (v 1.D 2006-5-24).

Yes it works, with PCB ver. 3 and should work with ver. 1 also, even though the official cpu support page for both do not list the 185 yet. It sometimes takes them a while to test and update.

K8N NEO4 Platinum cold boot problem with 165 opteron?

I have this board and have a cold boot problem with my opteron. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its starting to get very anooying.
K8N NEO4 Platinum
165 opty dual core
2X1GB Ballistix PC4000
160GB sata2
7800GTX
X-Fi platinum
600 watt seasonic PSU

Well I am running them at the rated speed of 250 and the rated timings of 3-4-4-10 on the rated 2.8 volts. Ballistix have been known to die quickly when you throw to many volts at them for some reason. I dont get the cold boot problem with the OCZ. Once I finally get it to boot with the Ballistix it works just fine but the next morning I play hell to get it to boot again. I dont even get the main screen to let me get into bios. It just stays black. I have done all kinds of stress testing and ran memtest with no problems. I am really at a loss here.

@azzkickr
Nice which one did you ge?. Where did you get it from? I had to go to the underground in the US to get it. Only problem is the high HTT required and the limited CPU multi selection. Makes it hard to get your memory in it's sweet spot because you have fewer options. That's one of the reasons I modded the 3.7BIOS to put back in the 150Mhz and 183Mhz dividers. Although those dividers arern't specifically supported I am prime stable with them. Also I have only seen mine and one other MSI Neo4 result, the MSI doesn't seem to be doing quite as good as the DFI.

Cost me about 140$ !
I'll post details soon, when it arrives. Can you send me a copy of your modified BIOS for me ?

DDR 500 memory compatible with MSI K8N Neo4 Platninum?

Hi Folks,
I have a MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum PCB version 1 (S939/Nvidia NForce 4 Ultra), running the latest BIOS version. I wondered if DDR 500/PC4000 memory would work at DDR500 speeds? I note that the MSI webpage for this mobo only mentions DDR400 and in the manual, the BIOS description under "Advanced Chipset Features" - "Memclock Index Value (MHz)" says the maximum speed is 200MHz. However, when I go to this setting in my own BIOS, I can set it to 250MHz. I assume that this should give me DDR500? Would altering this "Memclock Index Value" above 200 MHz cause any other problems with FSB, CPU, HT, PCIe, PCI speeds etc. or is it completely independent? Does anyone have any recommendations of what sticks would work best (I was thinking 2 * 1024 Mb of Corsair XMS or OCZ XTC). Now that DDR2 is standard and DDR prices are creeping up, there doesn't seem to be much difference in price between DDR 400 and DDR 500 memory. Evern if my mobo can't support it, is there any merit in buying DDR 500 memory and running it at DDR 400 or intermediate speeds?
Cheers!

The x2 4800 would run 10x250=2500mhz.
With ddr500 it's beautifull,since you can use the cas latencies which are suited for the memory.
I have to lower my timings a bit to run them at 500mhz.Not much though,but I don't know what the long term prospect is for my memory if I maintain that for long periods of time.
As for running games,I found lower cas timings make my games run smoother opposed to the slightly higher ddr clock with slower timings.
But as mentioned,set cpu vcore 1 step higher in bios,leave the memory at auto,set cpu fsb or HTT at 250mhz,and use the default multiplier of 10 or also leave on auto.'The memory runs in spec and you wont damage it,only the cpu's get another 100mhz and should be a little bit more spicey while temps shouldn't go much higher as it is now.
The sticks should fit physically and I ran mine once at 266mhz stable,and they are just pc3200@200mhz

K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI missing 1t/2t option in bios

Hey all,
I cant see 1t2t command rate option in my bios. It is disappered. Need help pls.

??? I'm kind of confused... As I said I'm using the same board with the same bios and I can see and change 1T/2T.
Thanks for your reply,
Our mainboard are same but our cpu core are different. When I was using Venice everything was ok. Was using my Venice 9*300 with water cooling.
But now I have 3700+ SAN DIEGO .

Where exactly are you trying to find this option in the bios? As Richard said make sure you enabled manual for CPU and Ram settings.
I know where I am looking.
User Config Mode --> [Manual] but there is only "Bottom of 32-bit" , "Read Preamble value" and " Async Latency value".
Quote from: flobelix on 30-January-07, 21:44:59
Please tell us exactly(!) what you changed in Cell Menu (core speed, HT, mem clock and so on), report your CPU model and stepping.
Did you clear cmos after(!) flashing 3.A mod?
After flash I remove my power cable for 1-2 mşnutes than press reset button. During post screen I enter bios to load failsafe defaults. After those steps I try to find what is good/bad with that bios.
Feel free to ask anything that can fix this problem.

HELP ! CPU question on MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI Motherboard

Hello i've a simple Question : Does A64 3400+ S939 works on this board ?

Hi douglasp,
Things haven't changed since K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI + athlon 64 3400+ ????
There is no AMD64 3400 939 CPU - see AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Model Numbers and Feature Comparison
754 CPu are single channel compatable withK8N Neo Platinum
939 CPu are Dual channel. compatable with K8N Neo4 Platinum
as someone said in previous thread it's probably a misprint.

K8N Neo4 delayed power on

I've been racking my brain over this issue for the last few days... first my system configuration is as follows.
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (bios 1.D0)
Opteron 165 (and no I have not overclocked this machine)
Corsair XMS 1gb (2x512) dual Channel ram
MSI Rx800 X800xl PCI-E video card
Antec Neo480w PSU
Sound blaster X-FI
2 Maxtor 120 IDE drives 7200rpm
1 52x Lite-on CDRW
1 NEC DVDRW
Windows Xp Service pack 2
What happens is; If I unplugged the computer from power for a minute or two, say to move it.... when I plug the machine back in and press the power button, nothing happens. If I walk away and come back later.. sometimes it will already be running, other times I can simply hit the power button and it fires right back up. Now if I shut the machine down while it is plugged in and then press the power button it fires right up.
I first thought it was a case ground issue, as I had recently replaced the fan on the motherboard. So I took the motherboard, PSU, video card and assembled them on an anti-static bag on the table.... and get the same result. I have tested the power supply in another machine so I do not believe that is the issue. I've swapped power cables, surge protectors, tried different configurations of the ram (tried each single stick by itself), swapped in another video card.
Once the machine actually boots up it runs fine, I have no issues what-so-ever, as long as I don't loose power! I think, though not sure that the longer I leave it unplugged the longer it takes to come back on... though I haven't really tested that. My only thought at this point is that it could be something on the board? Any thoughts would be great.
I just thought that I would post here before trying an RMA as really don't want to send it out unless I really have to.

Quote from: LairdDrambeg on 10-February-07, 07:26:25
I also have a 3rd system which I suspect is getting ready to quit: the symptom here is that the network switch it's connected to looks like it's "chattering" with the computer powered off... again a 5VSB issue I believe.
This is interesting as I just noticed that one of the onboard nic's was flashing though the rest of the system showed no signs of getting power, no fans turning etc. Sounds like a replacement power supply is in order. I appreciate the suggestions, and will post back results once I get one. For the time being it looks like I'm on a short cord

K8N Neo4 Platinum with Athlon 3200+ wrong multiplier?

I've got a K8N Neo4 Platinum with an Athlon 3200+ processor that's supposed to run at 2.2GHz
With the memory running at 200MHz the maximum multiplier I can select is x10 which only gives me a CPU speed of 2GHz
Shouldn't there be a x11 multiplier available for this CPU or have I missed something obvious?
BIOS is 7125v12

Hi there. A 3200+ S939 is supposed to run at 2000MHz. The S745 runs on 2,2GHz, due to single channel memory.
Cheers!!
3000+ = 1,8 GHz
3200+ = 2,0 GHz
3500+ = 2,2 Ghz

MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI sound needs -5V; newest Antec 550W has no -5V rail

I came within a whisker of ordering a non-returnable 3700 Venice, MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo and an upgraded Power Supply, Antec's newest 550W PS the TP2-550 EPS12V ($117). This has dual 2x24pin 12V 19A rails and is touted as the new V2.0 EPS12V/ATX12v compatible power supply for high performance SLI systems. By accident I came across a page at MSI for this mobo
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=641
At the end is this warning: MSI Reminds You...
• For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply. Also, the users manual which I downloaded on Pg 2-10 says the same thing
The above Antec PS specs do not show a -5V rail, nor does an Enermax 600W I looked at. The V2.0 specs for ATX12v which added 2x24pin 12V rails dropped -5V rail from the spec and it appears MSI is not conforming to the spec (See Antec response at end) None of the web sites selling these PS & mobos contain any warning. I vaguely recall from a forum a while back it may have something to do with the Soundblaster system in the mobo.
http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22551 (click specifications)
Isn't this a major showstopper which is going to cause a lot of grief for those of us upgrading to SLI systems using this mobo and upgrading our PS to the newest & best power design? We won't know the PS won't work until we build the system.
Regards, Ron
Antec reply to me:
>>>>Thanks for the link. Since MSI's website does state the motherboard needs the -5v, the True550EPS12V will not work with this motherboard. The Standard (http://enhanceusa.com/documents/atx12v_v2.01.pdf) has removed the use for the -5v rail and it is no longer needed. MSI has not manufactured that motherboard to the Standard. Finding an ATX12V v2.0 power supply with the -5v might be hard to find. You should contact MSI for a compatibility list of power supplys that were tested to work with the K8N SLI Platinum.

Wow!! syar2003 thanks for that post. I've spend an hour going through it & fasteddies links. Now I are a power expert. The dual rail argument is enough for me to go back to the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI with one of the single rail PS -5V units listed by fasteddie. The only question left now refers to computerpro3 recommendation on ultra power supplies for SLI
>>I quite simply wouldn't dream of putting anything else in my machine. Keep in mind, this section is for 2x 6800 models, not the 6600's which most any good psu will handle (like Antec Neopower, ocz 520, etc). . Pc Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe SLI edition (refer to list)
2. Zippy/Emacs 550-700w models
3. OCZ 600w (personally I would get the pcp&c for the price, but it's been proven here, so I'll be fair...).
These are really high end, expensive and only 3-4 choices. Since I'm getting one 6800GT and eventually another & possibly eventually a 4800 X2, I was hoping the OCZ 520W would do it but computerpro3 says Powermaster 520 isn't good enough for SLI. I found that there is an OCZ 600W ATX12 dual rail which surprisingly has a -5V rail needed for K8N Neo4 SLI Soundblaster. Will this meet computerpro3's preference for a high end PS for SLI systems even though I'm losing the 1 rail advantage. Maybe the 600 Watts just overwhelms the 1 rail/2 rail question.
Thanks again for the teriffic help
Regards, Ron
Wondering what you settled on. I got the Antec TP550 and it's flawless on the board. I even have the older 20pin model which works perfectly (including sound). If you really wanted what I would consider to be a top dog (pcpower and cooling), and find the -5v rail missing, all you have to do is place a phone order and request they add a -5v rail. It's a minimal cost and a total solution for having everything. Just my $0.02

K8N Neo4 Platinum random lock-ups and BSOD

I built a new PC about 3 months ago and from day 1 it has always locked up / frozen at random intervals. Sometimes it also BSOD's with a Machine Check Exception. Seems to lock up / freeze more often when have multifple windows open eg. Multiple IE running but really is random. I have replaced the Mobo and Ram but keep having the same issues. Have tried a clean install but no luck either. Did a clean install on an old IDE HDD and seemed fine but it did not have all of the software that I run on the SATA drive. Thinking the SATA drive may be the issue? Please Help!!!
System is as follows:
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum [Bios 1.D]
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ DC [AMD Drivers]
2 x Kingston 1024Mb ram [Dual Channel]
Nvidia 6800 Ultra [Latest Drivers 91.31]
Thermaltake Purepower 460W PSU +3.3V 30A, +5V 30A +12V 15A
Western Digital 200G SATA II HDD [SATA Port 5 i think]
1 x LG DVD +-R/RW [IDE Master] IDE port closest to edge of Mobo
1 x LG CDR/RW [IDE Slave]
MS XP Home SP2

Seemed fine?
There isn't really be any difference between an IDE drive and a sata.
Except that the sata drive needs some drivers as your installing the os.
Check your ram timings in bios but likely it's your psu.
Which components are on which rail?
The ones that use the +12v are your cpu,cdrom,dvdrom and graphics card.
Try disconnecting both roms and see if it improves things?

How are some guys running an Athlon 3800+ X2 chip on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI?

I see many people running an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2 Dual Core proccessor on a K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI board, but mine dosen't work. I don't get any signal to my monitor (don't know if this is the cause). MSI says the 3800+X2 dosen't support the SLI board, but many people got it to work. Any one know how?

Mine working fine, but on cold boot, sometime it hang on me. I have changed 3 PSU to get it stable, from Coolermaster 450W, Be Quiet 520W to Silverstone 650W, ambient 25C, CPU 30C, Proc 37C.
Bios 3.7 the one they are still testing.
Have you check you PSU rails volt., disable CnQ,....
So far stable, multiple programs at once with no significant drop in responseness & speed, Half Life 2, P2P downloading x2, IE x 3, encode DVD at the same time.

Another K8N Neo4, 3800 x2 Problem

Before I start here are the specs
Amd x2 3800 with stock cooling
Msi K8n Neo4 Platinum
2 gb OCZ Dual Channel Platinum Link
eVGA 7800gt
Ultra Xconnect 500watt psu
2 160 gb Hitachi Deskstars in Raid 0 on nvidia raid controller
2 Ide Hard drives
Problem: Complete lockups in games.(no sound, no mouse, no keyboard, no screen activity) Mainly Counter-strike Source. Battlefield 2 sometimes freezes but it always happens with CS:S. I have tried installing the AMD x2 driver, Microsoft hotfix, the registry tweak to activate the MS hotfix, reverting to the 7x.xx forceware, trying multiple forceware beta drivers, setting affinity to 1 cpu, updated bios to 1.b, formating multiple times trying different forceware drivers etc. When I install Windows before I do anything I am doing a full windows update installing everything until there are no critical updates left and also installing the latest directX.
I ran prime95 on both cores for 7 hours and nothing was found. I ran memtest for 4 hours 30 minutes and nothing was found.
As of right now I should be recieving a Amd 64 3800+ (non x2) tomorrow from newegg and seeing if that works. Here are pictures of my bios settings.
Couldn't get the very last line so heres another pic that includes the Nf4 voltage.
edit: Forgot to add this
Memory Timings
Incase imageshack links die/slow heres an alternative http://urlx.org/dmservers.com/064b

I switched the ram to the 2 slots closest to the cpu and it then allowed me to change it to 1T. The ocz guy sent me a whole list of settings which I did but then when I saved and restarted it didn't post. So I tweaked them a bit and now it works fine. According to Everest I am now above the benchmarks compared to the other x2 3800+ on the nforce4 ultra.
1 thing I did notice was that every now and then I would lock up in the bios for some reason. As in I would be changing some settings and then I couldn't use the arrow keys to move at all. I wonder if its because I am using a wireless keyboard or maybe the usb to ps2 adapter is messing it up?
edit: heres screenshots. I know I am big on screenshots.
