P35 Neo MB and a PCI Express 2.0 Vid Card?

Hey, all:)
First time poster here, so hope this is the right spot for my question.
Here is the new card I want to put into my system. It will replace a MSI 8800 GT 512:
MSI N550GTX-Ti Cyclone OC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
My MSI P35 Neo MB says  is PCI Express 1.0. Will a PCI Express 2.0 vid card run on a MB that is PCI Express 1.0? I do have a 585W PSU.
I am guessing it may be backwards compatible, but my tech knowledge is pretty low:)
MSI P35 Neo MB, current BIOS 1.60
Intel Core 2 Duo [email protected] GHz
4.0 Gskill PC 6400 RAM
X-585 PSU
XP Home SP3
Thks, all for any help:)

It will be backward compatible, however, I don't think you will benefit much from upgrading to the N550s as you can't utilize the full PCIE 2.0 lanes and speed, whereas the 8800GT are the top of line within their own series and you can make use of its full potential.

    How difficlut is it to replace a grphic card in a HP P6210Y

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6210y Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model has a PCIe x16 graphics card slot and a 300 watt power supply. In theory, the computer's PCIe x16 slot is v2.0 and a PCIe x16 v3.0 graphics card should work in this slot. You will need an open space next to the PCIe x16 slot to accomodate the GTX 660 Ti. Please see "Adding or Replacing an Expansion Card (Video Card, Sound Card, etc...)" for instructions on installing a graphics card in your computer.
    You will also need to replace the power supply with a unit rated to work with your new graphics card. It appears the minimum system power supply requirement for the GTX 660 Ti series of cards is 600 watts. Please consider the Corsair CX600 or CX600M for your power supply needs. The Corsair CX600M is modular, which allows for better cable management and air flow in the HP case. Please see "Replacing the Power Supply" for instructions on installing a new power supply in your computer.

  • P35 Neo 2 (MS 7345) PCI 1.0 compatible slot use a PCI-E 2.1 Graphics card ?

    A simple question I'm intending to upgrade an old Ati (AMD) Radeon x1950 Graphics Card to the latest Radeon HD 5770 for Christmas. The question is whether the Radeon HD 5770 that uses a PCI-Express 2.1 Slot is compatible with the old PCI-Express 1.0 bus found on the P35 Neo 2 version 1.1 motherboard. Theoritcally PCI-E version 2.0 was backwards compatible with the older 1.0 and 1.1 slots, but unsure about the latest version. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You
    Sorry should have read 5770 not 4770.

    Though there's 2 x 12v rails @ 24A but it does not means that it is 24A x 2 as they come from the same single +12v rail. Usually there rated +12v max combined is only about 60% to 70% which means about 34A for your PSU.
    As such, your PSU may be able to handle the new card but you'll only know when the card is installed.

  • NEED HELP w/ P35 Neo Combo and Windows XP Install Stop 0x24 error BSOD

    First a little background, in case it's relevant:
    I was running a 865PE Neo2 with 4 x 1gig Corsair DDR2 6400.  Otherwise, same specs as below. Ran it for 2 years without a hitch, then got a virus that corrupted my profile and had trouble booting, logging on, and persistent virus messages.  Long story short, I fried the BIOS and decided to replace the mobo and upgrade the memory, keeping the rest of the system intact.  I previously had windows installed on both partitions of the HDD but changed the name of the directory for Windows on the C: drive so it would boot from the D: drive.
    I have replaced 865PE with the P35 and changed the boot sequence to boot from CD.  The BIOS loads fine, and I get to the windows setup screen ok.  Whether I opt for Recovery Console, or a new install of Windows, I get a BSOD error message below. 
    STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001902FA, 0xf7906700, 0xf7906400, 0xf7103bef)
    ntfs.sys Address F7103BEF base at F709f00, Datestamp 3d6de5c1
    I tried with both new and old memory (in the right slots) and get the same message.  I booting with no memory because I read in another post that the system should beep to indicate no memory and there was no beep. 
    BIOS recognizes the HDD, CPU and Memory so not sure what the problem is.  Should I try taking the HDD out and reformatting it on another PC? (not easy since I don't have another desktop pc) Please help with some suggestions.  Thank you.

    I didn't know that the P35 Neo board ran ddr3...
     That's where the 'Combo' part in the name comes into play, 2 DDR2 or 2 DDR3.
    From MSI description of MB:

  • P35 Neo-F and Intel Core2Quad Q9550 E0 Stepping

    Hello ! I got some problems with my computer since i've changed the cpu.
    before i had an intel core2duo e6750 on my msi p35 neo-f board and everything worked fine !
    a few months ago i wanted to "tune" my computer a bit , so i've bought a new cpu -> core2quad q9550 e0 stepping
    my computer didnt want to work (boot) with this cpu , so i changed to my old cpu and updated my bios version , cause i thougt it should help, considering the informations on msi page !
    i've updated to ami 1.9 without using msi live update, using your tool from this forum. ofc i did the cmos reset etc pp, loaded bios defaults.
    then i've inserted my new cpu (q9550) and it seemed to work !!!
    it seemed to work for a few days.../hours...
    since then i was getting bluescreens! irregular bluescreens, no matter what i was doing on my computer. bluescreen messages were different nearly each time. sometimes there was something said about "sys32..."..i dont rly remember. next time i will write it down
    i've checked my RAMs with some tools , checked my HDDs with tools, everything fine ! then i wanted to check my cpu with prime95 using a torture test (blend) and my computer crashed directly (short bluescreen) and rebooted ! so i am quite sure that my new cpu / bios configuration / version is the problem !
    so my next idea was to reinstall my windows 7 prof. , considering some posts on the www.
    well it didnt help. today , one day after reinstalling windows, i got a bluescreen when booting windows. just when booting , without doing anything, next boot worked and computer didnt crash since then, 2 hours ago. so as you can see these crashes/bluescreens are really irregular !
    now i am on the msi page again , looking at the cpu support list for my mainboard.
    ->
    Core 2 Quad     Yorkfield     SLB8V     Q9550     333     2.83     12M      N/A     E0      95     7360v21.zip
    so i should flash my bios to 2.1 ???? i've read something about different versions of my mainboard on this board , some are able to work with bios 2.1 , some others are not !
    this thread :
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139992.msg1046500;topicseen
    now i dont know what to do anymore....flash to 2.1 or not ? where can i check whether i can flash to 2.1 ???
    is it possible that my power supply is too weak ?
    my system :
    windows 7 prof 64 bit
    500W BeQuiet Straight Power
    MSI Neo P35-F
    Intel Core2Quad Q9550
    8Gb DDR2 RAM
    Sapphire HD 5850 Toxic 1Gb DDR5
    as i said my system worked fine before changing the cpu, so my issues should come from the new cpu imho
    thanks a lot !
    if you need more information i will provide them ofc !

  • Firewire 400 and 800 PCI Express Card Question

    I just put in a Firewire 800 PCI Express card in my Mac Pro. If I add a Firewire 400 PCI Express card also to my Mac Pro will the 800 card work as in 400 speed due to the PCI Express 400 card being added to the Logic board?

  • PCI express Multi channels Audio card ?

    Hello, I need to build a Audio/Video player for an installation witch will run 365 days per year.
    The system need to be fully automated and it need to have minimun human support.
    I could use a Mac Pro for this since it's easier to setup the needed hardware such as the video card and the sound card, but the Mac Pro does not have light out management it does not fit on racks and it does not have redundant power supply.
    So I'm trying to build this media server with xserve for the reason I explane above .
    As video card I've found this ATI Radeon X1300 witch is good for my kind of application since I need to run a quicktime movie 1400x1050 Animation
    For the sound I wish I could not use an external firewire card to minimize possible issues like power supply fault ( most firewire card are sold with little powersupply and very cheep power connectors )
    So I'm searching for a PCI Express card to be integrated in the Xserve that could output 6 discrete audio channels from my quicktime movie.
    Does anyone know any good one ?
    thanks

    Your question is very specific, so you might find better answers looking somewhere like M-Audio.
    A quick search does, indeed, find a lack of PCIe-based solutions. However, you shouldn't necessarily discard PCI-X options. The XServe can accept either PCIe or PCI-X cards - you just need to order the PCI-X riser card for your server. That way you can still leverage the multitude of PCI-X options out there.

  • A problem with p35 neo-combo and DDR3 4GB 1066

    HI
    i tried upgrading my system to 4 Gig Ram, i bought a DDR3 4GB 1066MHZ single stick from kingston and installed on the A1 slot on the MB.
    i just upgraded my bios tot he latest 1.07 version, didn't help either.
    i have no clue as to why the sys won't boot. doesn't even pass BIT.
    PLZ help. thanks.

    Quote from: Henry on 15-November-11, 06:44:56
    Buy a 2x2 4GB kit. No reason to use a single channel with 1 stick when you can run dual channel (2 sticks) with a little better performance.
     Edit: Don't know how much where you live but for Kingston KVR1066D3S8N7K2/4G is only $23 at newegg in the US.
    Something more:
    DDR3-1066 (CAS = 7) is not faster than DDR2-800 (CAS = 5)
    For this (old) combo mainboard (with dual DDR2/DDR3 controller), 2x2GB DDR2-800 is probably the best choice.

  • PCI express 2.0 x16 and p6n platinum

    Would a video card that is PCI E 2.0 x16 work with MSI P6N platinum latest BIOS ?

    Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 03-February-09, 16:30:08
    PCI-Express 2.0 video cards should be downward compatible to the older standard.  So it should work.  However, some cards with some video BIOSes are not as downward compatible as they should.  This is not so much a matter of the mainboard BIOS version or the board itself. 
    Just give it a try and see what happens.  I most cases there shouldn't be a problem, however, in rare cases it might not work as expected.
    I was asking cause I got myself a GTX280 for 300 bucks and its on the way, so I was wondering.
    Thanks.

  • E8400 Processor + P35 Neo Mainboard = Not Working.

    PROBLEM:
    Basically I have a MSI P35 Neo Mainboard and an E8400 3.0GhZ Core2Duo Processor.
    I have the E0 model of the chip (SLB9J)
    I have updated the BIOS to 1.8 (used the Flasher tool provided from this forum) as it is said to fix the compatability issues between the two components.
    However, whenever I boot I get get stuck at a POST screen.. I think... not sure if its a POST screen but comes up every few times I power up the PC with the E8400 in it.
    It says something like press Y to run BIOS settings or N for default settings.
    I have tried both Y and N
    Then it reads what's in the PC..
    4096MB RAM
    USB Keyboard....
    and freezes.
    However, I got this screen again when I reinstalled the Pentium D 820, and it recognised everything after I pressed Y (including USB components), and the PC booted up normally.
    If anybody has had any similar problem and/or can offer any advice on what do do it would be much appreciated.
    Apart from updating the BIOS version, I have also tried using a PS/2 keyboard instead of a USB.

    BIOS v1.8 does not support the E0-Stepping 45nm processors yet.  You need to upgrade your BIOS to the latest Version for your board version (v1.10 [.ten] a.k.a A7360IMS.1A0). I will upload it for you in this post.

    Have you checked if all power connectors for board and video card are properly connected?
    Board:
    - 20/24-Pin ATX
    - 4-Pin +12V CPU (connector cables should be black/yellow, otherwise it is additional 4-Pin plug for the 20+4 ATX connector above)

    Take the board out of the case and test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone confuguration (just CPU, video card, one stick of RAM, power connectors, keyboard).  Clear CMOS with main A/C power connector removed from PSU after hardware changes.  See if that changes anything.

  • MSI P35 Neo-F cmos checksum "bad"

    Hi
    I bought the board mentioned in the title, and after putting my E5200 into it I realized that the MB didn't support it using the bios version it had in it. So, I used the AMI bios recovery thingy (http://www.msicomputer.com/support/BIOS_AMI_Recovery.asp) using floppy and after that I was able to boot it up properly.
    But after changing the bios settings a bit, I faced the exact same problem as the fellow here (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?;topic=125698.0). I understood that I'm forced to flash the bios again using the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool mentioned in that topic.
    The problem here is that I can't use that flashing tool as I'm not able to get into Windows and use the tool. The tool won't work on my second comp as it doesn't have MSI MB in it.
    So what do I do to flash the bios? Any help would be appreciated.

    You have to reflash the BIOS the regular way (and you are not limited to the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool (it is only an option).  The AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure is not a regular way to update your BIOS.  That CMOS Checksum Message you get after start-up is a known side effect.

    The problem here is that I can't use that flashing tool as I'm not able to get into Windows and use the tool. The tool won't work on my second comp as it doesn't have MSI MB in it.
    Here you go:
    1. Download the following tool.  Then install it on your second system:
    http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=197
    2. Download the DOS-File.rar Archives that you find attached at the bottom of this post and unpack the files into a folder of your choice.
    3. Start the HP USB Format Tool and select "Create DOS Startup Disk".  Point the tool to the DOS-Files you just unpacked:
    Your USB Flash Drive should now be bootable.
    4.  Download the latest BIOS Version for your board:  http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/7360v1A.zip  ... and copy the following files to the root directory of your USB Flash Drive: Afud408.exe (Flasher) and A7360IMS.1A0 (BIOS-File).
    5.  Hook up the just prepared USB Flash Drive to your P35 Neo-F and force it to boot from it.  Once you reach the DOS Command Prompt, type the following command to start the BIOS Flash:
    Afud408 A7360IMS.1A0 /P /B /N /C
    Once the procedure is over and you did not get any error messages, turn off your system, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU.  After that, things should be back to normal if everything went fine.
    Note:  In order to force your P35 Neo-F to boot from the USB Flash Drive, disconnect all other drives so that the USB Flash Drive is the only bootable device connected to your system. When you get the CMOS Checksum Message after start-up, simply load defaults without entering BIOS Setup.  The system should then move on to booting DOS from your Flash Drive.

  • Tecra M9 - PCI Express Error at start-up

    Hello Everybody ..
    I own a Toshiba Tecra M9 (PTM91E-04R03TEN)
    http://www.toshiba.ie/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?service=IE#tab0;
    On switching on,- Its Showing the Toshiba splach screen and then "PCI Express error." on a black screen
    I can't get beyond this Black Screen
    and I can't get into BIOS ??..
    One time it did manage to boot up fully, I left it running for a while as I save information from the HDD. but then the problem started again .
    I believe this is a problem with the nvidia GPU ( Fatigue cracking on the BGA )
    I have the Laptop stripted down .. and have purchased ArctiClean , Thermal Pad, & Arctic Silver for the "repair"
    Should I have somebody scan the hardware and to find the troublemaker ? ..OR.. should I just reflow the GPU .
    I'm technically minded .. but not a PC / Laptop technican :(..
    any Instruction on how to proceed would be greatfully received ..
    Should i just " bung it in the oven" and see how it goes ? :) :) .
    Regards,
    Peter

    Hi
    I found and read your other post regarding this issue and in my opinion the PCI Express error is related to an PCI device (i.e miniPCI module like WLan / Bluetooth, etc ) connected to the motherboard.
    Of course I cannot say for sure that this issue isnt related to a GPU malfunction.
    Usually such details can be provided only by an service engineer who checked the notebooks hardware.
    Generally I dont recommend to disassemble the notebook. Its very tricky to perform such procedure and of course there is always a risk of part damage doing such procedure without any instructions.

  • X58 pro i7 pci express 2.0 issue with sata controller

    hello
    i installed rosewill rc-225 (marvell controller) pci express 2.0 x1 card. my crucial m4 ssd maxes out at 271MB/s
    it is installed in the x16 slot. i tried gen 1 x1 slot i was getting pathetic 130MB/s what is going... on new egg people with this drive and the controller are getting more than 400MB/s
    btw i overclocked pci express and it improved the speed i dont get it what is going on...

    Quote from: brasstech on 12-September-11, 09:33:56
    Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit, Video card is EVGA GTX295, Marvell 91xx Sata 6G Controller Driver is 1.0.0.1034.
    Oh wow that is crazy.
    So there are only 2 explanations left since I only have GTX260.
    1. I have some fluke Rev 0 motherboard.
    2. Marvell chip doesn't like Crucial SSDs. Which I did hear kind of on Crucial forum. (I am thinking this).
    To finally conclude it is Crucial SSD, can you take me which revision/model of motherboard you have? I think i seen it on a corner of the motherboard printed. Or in the bios.
    I'll get mine from the BIOS tonight.
    Also I wonder if overclocking the CPU increase the speed.... I asked brasstech if he overclocked... I hope he did, that would explain things.
