Overclocking Problems on K8N Neo Plat

As I had said that even when HTT is set 200 and memory divider used is 1:1 on my Corsair XMS (which was plugged in in my nF4 SLi mobo and has TCCD Ram chips) which is rated 2-2-2-5 at 200Mhz DDR and processor at stock speeds and voltage, memtest shows errors and system doesn't boots in windows.
Also my Ram sticks are rated 2.60V but when Vdimm set at auto Motherboard pumps 2.70V !! what's the problem , I use version 1.7 BIOS on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Is that going to harm my RAM

Overclocking Problems on K8N Neo Plat

Hi this is my 1st post in MSI forum.
I recently bought a MSI K8N Neo Platinum mobo from NewEgg.com and attached my old Athlon 64 3200+ (ClawHammer ; C0 revision) to it.
I had a 512 MB KingMAX DDR400 SDRAM (having Hynix CT-D43 ICs) module. I checked the RAM to b stable at the frequency of 295.9 MHZ DDR ie 295.9*2 Mhz=591.8 Mhz at (3-3-3-8). SO I started moving towards Max stable mobo frequency which was 400 Mhz. I started checking maximum frequency of CPU and whenever I crossed 2.3 Ghz mark CPU started failing in Prime95. When I passed the 2.4 GHz mark memtest started showing errors. Infact when I use the 10*multiplier (I used 9*multiplier to reach above speeds) at the HT frequency of 230Mhz and RAM set at Auto with above latencies ; memteset86 starts showing errors.
By the way I used original 1.55beta Bios and Vcore was at 1.65 V and Vmem was at 2.85 V
What's the problem here?? IS CPU the bottleneck and is problematic or sumthing else.
How can I increase the voltage of the chipset?? There's no such option in Bios 4 increasing Voltage of chipset ie NF3-250GB.
Plz help

Overclocking msi k8n neo plat

trying to overclock my msi k8n neo plat and run mad 2001
hardware - amd 64 3400
bfg 6800gt
corsair pc3200
i go into bios and set ram at 400mhz, set agp at 67 mhz. then open center and enter 210 mhz fsb. when i start madonion, it freezes. is it my memory?

Could be a ram incompatibility issue. I have some OCZ pc3500 EL which is great in my other systems, but doesn't work in the Neo without bluescreens and crashes to desktop. It might also be a power related issue. What type of power supply are you using and what is the amperage on the 12v rail? That seems to be pretty important for this board.

Msi k8n neo plat nforce3 250gb : blue screen

hi
just built a amd 64 3400 with msi k8n neo plat: with xfx 256 geforce nvidia graphic n kinston 512 ddr 400.
but for some reason its giving the blue scree with dumping memory msg on the screen.changes the memory but still got the same problem updated the bios to 1.5 still same thing.
any cue with the problem.
thnks

System restore? You need to find out what's causing the problem and you have too many things connected to it to be able to figure out what it is, always start with a basic system - video, primary hard disk, cd + fdd, no more and nothing else connected. Then when something goes wrong along the way you'll have more chance of narrowing it down if the problem appears.
What you'll want to do now is disable/uninstall/unplug any additional non-system-critical components that you have connected to it such as extra usb slots, printers, scanners and anything else. Keyboard, mouse, video with no sound and see if the problem persists. If it does, try another video driver. If it's fixed then reconnect/enable one device and try again until the problem reappears and you can find out what's causing it -- unless you can speed read that message quickly before it shuts down
Now that I think of it, have you set the OS to not automatically reboot on any errors? That might keep the BSOD up there so you can note it down and hopefully point at the problem instead of going through all the above hassle ^^

Msi k8n neo plat and microsoft ie

getting my msi k8n neo plat board running satisfactory , except for one problem . when i got to amdmb.com, i start surfing the site, and after a minute or 2, i get a microsoft ie error, send the error report to microsoft, and then ie closes. what is the problem , is it with amdmb.com site? its the only site that this problem with ie is present, all other sites i don,t have this problem

just tryed using the browser firefox, and it works great. its just ie that doesn,t work on amd.mb, and only that site. wierd problem, never experienced anything like it before. had run a short memtest , no errors. the 6800gt , msi k8n neo plat and amd 64 3400 work great. get some super madonion benchmarks-all default-1024 x 768 32bit- 22,755. i was hoping for 22,000, but exceeded my expectations. can get into the 23,000 + with overclocking the 6800gt, have had it overclocked at gpu-412, memory 1.12. not sure how much more you can increase the numbers, thinking my gpu is close to the limit at 412.had a problem with windvd, it ended up being a configuration in windvd- had to enable hardware acceleration , bingo- worked great after that. got my corsair xms pc 3200 to work at 6-3-3-2 timings. still getting to know the board, there is definately a learning curve to be delt with on this board, but i am getting it to work better by the day.

Msi k8n neo plat and 3dmark03

with my msi k8n neo plat , bfg 6800gt, and amd 64 3400 clawhammer- i get 11,114 in 3dmark03. seems like i should be getting a higher score-any suggestions.

You appear to have misread my post, read carefully, I said "at clock speeds" not "at stock speeds" which I think is where u misunderstood. I know it's overclocked, but who isn't going to if there is so much headroom? With coolbits you can have higher speeds when running 2d or 3d applications to keep temps low and for longevity of the card.

MSI k8N Neo Plat 2...system freeze and crash during h-end gaming...

MSI k8N Neo Plat 2
AMD athlon 64 3800+
Centon 512 MB DDR 3200 x 4
nvidia geforce fx 5700
win xp pro
Creative Audigy 2
Under some graphically intensive situations, during gaming, especially dealing with alot of background visuals, like fire/lava, etc, the system will after a short while of playing either, crash, freeze, reboot, or freeze while a loud screeching nosie emits from my speakers...I have tried updating my graphx card drivers to the most recent and the symptons still persist..Is there something I need to set in BIOS regarding mem timings, I have tried playing around some, but that hasnt worked either...Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
,

Try raising RAM voltage to 2.7v - 2.8v.
If no go - Run Memtest86 http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
If no go - Try onboard Audio ( disable / remove Audigy2 )

Msi k8n neo plat problems

I have built 2 computers exactly the same.
msi k8n neo plat
512 corsair xms ddr 3200
8og sata maxtor
amd 64 3200
128mb ati 9800 pro
asus cd drive
When i tried to install windows xp pro on both the machines i got the same error. could not copy file. On each try the file was a different one. After hours of trying new things i found that putting the memory in slot 2 on the motherboard solved the problem, windows installed and booted up as norm. When i moved the memory back to slot 1 the computer would not boot.
I have now left the memory in slot 2 but the computer will still crash every hour.
I am sure this is something to do with the memory but not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help.

Can anybody tell me what i should set the cpu fsb frequency to in the bios.
I just read this in the faq
What is the fsb speed of this cpu?
Depending on which FSB you are asking about: The Athlon 64's have the memory controller built in (which was previously part of the Northbridge on the motherboard) which uses up to 200MHz DDR Memory (400MHz FSB) The HyperTransport link from the CPU to the rest of the motherboard runs up to 800MHz. Just to expand on my answer... The HT link is 800MHz, but it's 16 bit in size (2 bytes worth of data per clock) the total bandwidth of the HyperTransport link is 3.2GB in total - 1.6GB sending data to CPU and 1.6GB receiving data from CPU.

MSI K8N NEO PLAT + CD / DVD-RW Drives

Hi, i have the msi k8n neo plat. I recently had to replace my old mobo due to the old power supply blowing or something. So i got me a 480watt enermax coolergiant psu. Replaced the mobo for a new msi k8n neo plat. Put the mobo in and psu. Working fine and dandy. Now i installed 64bit xp to primary, and ive had it running for for about 2 weeks. Went to install linux to the second hard drive, so i changed the boot order, saved settings and went to load disc...however now my cd and dvd drives dont work, and they dont work in windows either.

Can anybody tell me what i should set the cpu fsb frequency to in the bios.

Msi k8n neo plat and audio problem

got me a msi k8n neo plat, great board but have a few minor problems that i have noticed. one is the audio problem i have- when i listen to winamp, and surf, i will loose my winamp connection surfing, and then have to start winamp. is this a bios thing, or nvidia platform or chipset problem?

Hi
Thats the Nvidea board, this is the via board forum. You want forum below this one, as they will be able to help better.
good luck

MSI K8N Neo Plat edit. and IDE

Can anybody tell me how many IDE units you can run on this motherboard? I do not want to use raid 0 or 1. I have a KT3 ultra - aru at them moment with 6 single IDE units, but now I need to upgrade.
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
you can connect 4 IDE devices and 4 four sata devices on MSI K8N Neo Plat editition.
If it's not enought you can plug an IDE PCI card....

New K8N NEO2 PLAT. and SC-939 3200+ help needed...

Hello,
I have just upgraded my system with K8N Neo2 Plat. and sc-939 3200+ A64 Cpu.
There are several issues I need to resolve which are:
1- Although I change from BIOS the settings for AGP to 4x8x and enable fast writes, I still cant see them turned on from the Catalyst Control Center. Everything is greyed out what can I do? They all used to be on and agp was 8x with my K7N2 Delta board....
2- Although I installed the original drivers from the MSI CD, I couldn't get one of the network prts to install. Realtek installed OK. But other one is defined by the device manager as standart network adapter. What can I do?
3- I am brand new to A64 system so I do not know what setting to use from BIOS can you help me out, for instance there are values for HT such as x3 x4 x5 mine is set to x5? what is this? should I enable cool and quiet, I am not intended to do overclocking. Can you give me some tips for best performance?
My best regards.

Make sure your bios is up to date: version 1.5. Look at the sticky threads and use the information to enable hidden bios features. Disable ATI/NV speedup in the bios. Uninstall your drivers and reinstall. If the information is still greyed out, download the free version of Sandra here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and check the module under video system information. This will tell you if fast writes are enabled and your AGP setting. Leave the HT(hyper-transport) set to 5X unless you plan on oc'ing, if you do oc then may find you'll need to reduce it to 4X or 3X. Try downloading the latest driver for your network from the MSI website. Right click the device in device manager and select update, select specific location then "don't look...I'll choose", direct it to the file where you've unpacked the correct driver and then update.
