P4N Diamond - Northbridge Fan

Since getting my P4N board (September 2005), the Northbridge Fan has been really noisy. Lately, it has stopped turning at certain times - either while the PC is in use (causing it to shut down) or on startup.
When the problem happens on startup, I have to give it a little push to get started.
What I want to know is - can I replace the fan? If so, how do I get it off.
Also, please could someone recommend a fan that will provide the same level of cooling, but also be quiter. I would also like to know the spec of the fan - can't find details anywhere.
I would have liked to put this post on the Diamond VIP Forum, but can't find a link to the URL for this??
Many thanks.

I have temporarily put this fan on (keeping the msi heatsink).
http://www.akasa.com.tw/akasa_english/spec_page/fans/spec_dfs401012m.htm
It is spinning at up to 6250rpm, but is slightly quieter than the original msi fan.
Potential problems/issues...
- it is supposed to have a speed of 5400rpm, so I wondering if it being reported at up to 6250rpm is an issue?
- the northbridge is now 47C rather than 45C at idle
- the new fan has 7 blades, the original had 9, so it's looking like the original fan was more efficient at cooling the northbridge chip
I also have the zalman heatsink and will likely replace the msi heatsink with this and use no fan, but wanted to check whether anyone has done this successfully, while keeping a standard intel cpu fan in place.
While I have a couple of minor reservations about the new fan, it does work, whereas the msi fan was pretty much knackered and completely unreliable. I could just replace the msi fan with another msi fan but I would expect that eventually the replacement msi fan would go the same way as the old one?
Any and all advice or suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Nick

Heatsink/fan recommendation for P4N Diamond?

I bought a P4N Diamond and a P4 630 CPU, but looking for a recommendation for a heatsink and fan.
I bought a Thermaltake CL-P0092 (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/coolers/cl-p0092silent775/cl-p0092silent775.htm#logoInfo) and it does not fit. The copper base plate is so wide that it rests on top of the capaciors and does not make contact with the CPU. The heat pipes also protrude too far and depending which way I face it they either prevent the base plate from making good contact with the CPU, or leans against the chipset's heat sink.
Any suggesstions? Stock cooling is not terrible, but I am looking for something a bit better that will actually fit well on this motherboard
--Jon

yup, that's a pretty bad cut or a pretty badly designed heatsink (in terms of not following specs).
OK, back to your question. I've heard of users here using ThermalRight XP-90 with a 120mm fan.
Personally I'd like to have an orb or sunflower shape fan. The reason is you still need to blow air on those CPU VREG (voltage regulator) area. Those MOSFETs are running pretty hot especially you place in a dual core CPU, and they are exposed without heatsinks. If you used a horizontal fin like this thermaltake, that means only the side MOSFETs will have airflow, those in between I/O Plate and CPU socket (I call it North phase) will not have good airflow. This is not good at all!
Keep this in mind while you're hunting for a new fan. (I am too! )

K8n diamond plus northbridge fan model?

hi! anyone got any idea what is the brand or the model number of the transparent northbridge fan used on the k8n diamond plus?
what is the bearing system used in that fan, ball or sleeve?

leekh . . . . .
. . . . . . welp, by measuring / researching for here, it stand's at a " 40 X 40 X 10mm " size of a fan...........
.......... . . . . click over to here . . . . . > > > > and this is the closest thing that i have found for a replacement, with having maybe the closest to the same fan speed as well as maybe the closest of "db" for fan noise, {@29"db", 7.5 cfm @ 6500 rpm using a normal 3-pin fan plug for power} . . . >>> ( they do show of another in same size, BUT faster rpm...like 8500, which mean's more NOISE, like 34 "db" & 8.3 cfm BUT gotta use a 4pin_molex power plug )........ . .click here 2 C . . . />......hopefully this will help ya out some...... . . . . .

Can anyone recommend me a Northbridge fan replacement?

I have a MSI K8N Neo4-F nForce4 and recently i have been experiencing random crashes and lock ups which i think are due to the northbridge fan failing (it was making horrible noises).
I tried to replace this with the Asaka heatsink/fan combination thing but it didn't fit under the graphics card as there is only about 1.5cm vertical space available. Can anyone recommend a replacement suitable for this motherboard? Preferably a cheap one. =)
Also -i don't know much about chipset- is it safe to run the computer without a northbridge fan installed assuming i don't do anything intensive like games or whatever?
Thanks in advance.

I was sniffing around some other forums,(as you do), when I came across this post. It sounds intresting, and may be worth giving it a try.

"Repair your noisy cpu and system fans
This is a fix that will last for a long, long time.
Buy some graphite powder and some oil at an auto or hardware store. They come in different packages. For oil, the best is the pen-type as they are easy to handle and only give a small amount at a time. Just about any oil in a pen format will work fine. The graphite powder comes in small plastic tubes. But make sure you get graphite powder, not graphite oil, its too thin for this job! So you need graphite powder in a small tube and oil in a round "pen" that can be squeezed out and placed just where you need it. Also, when the oil is used up in the "pen" you can open it and add your own oil.
First, clean the fan blades off real well. If you have a heatsink with the fan then clean the heatsink off as well. You can even use a bit of your oil and some q-tips for cleaning if needed. Then, take the small circle, it usually has a name on it, but its in the middle of the fan. Peel one edge up carefully and put a very small amount of oil in where you lifted the label up. Now add some graphite powder in the same place where you put the oil, add as much or a bit more of the graphite powder than the oil. Clean off excess oil and graphite and push the label back where it was. You may need a very small amount of duct tape to hold the label in position and to prevent leakage. This is important if the fan is going to "sit up" as opposed to lying flat.
Now put the fan back where you want it and when it starts spinning it may be noisy for a few seconds until the graphite\oil works its way in. Then it will stop and it will stay stopped for many years and you may very well not need to buy a new fan after all!
I experimented a lot with this and this is the very best way to quiet all those fans and have them work well. I have always been a big fan of those removable ide hard drive trays that you can buy. But the fans are the pits, they get noisy real fast. So i had to find a way to fix them as they are very expensive and hard to replace. Now i don't have to. Combo of oil and graphite is the very best, by far. One caution, graphite stains worse than
oil, so be careful! I'm talking about staining your clothes and hands.
You can use this system with all CPU fans, video card fans, system fans, and even fans inside power supplies. But one word of caution, its easy to open a power supply and take out the fan, but do be careful as there are voltages there can can hurt you badly. If you don't know what you are doing then wear rubber gloves to get the fan out and to put the fan back in after the
repair!
Trust me, this will work. If the fan spins my method will work for years and I have even fixed fans that were stuck and wouldn't spin! This is better done with the fan on the table but in those cases where you cant or don't want
to take the fan out of the system, that's where the "pen" with the needle comes in again, but i still find a way to get some graphite in as well, graphite is what makes the oil last a long time! And graphite is also an oil, but you need both together for maximum effectiveness. Oil by itself will only last a few weeks or so and then evaporate, and the fan will get noisy again. Its the graphite powder that does the long term job. The oil really only helps to spread the graphite powder around really well so the graphite can do the job!
Hope you do as well as i have with this info!"

Edit - Additional Info
The type of northbridge fan used on some MSI boards, eg K8N Platinum & Diamond etc, require that you remove the fan from the board first (you will have to remove the motherboard to do this). This is because the top of the shroud is attached from the bottom by two tiny Phillips type screws. Once you have removed the shroud, very gently prise off the fan from the motor assembly. There is no need to try and remove the three other tiny screws that secure the fan motor in place to the bottom half of the shroud. Once removed, you will see that under the fan is a small plastic pin that holds the sleeve bearing in place.

P4N Diamond (blackscreen boot bios?)

I just put together a brand new comp. All parts are new.
-P4N Diamond MB
-650W powersupplu
-1gb Corsair XMS2 6400 (800mhz)
-WD Raptor 74gig SATA 10000rpm
-EVGA 7800 GTX
-Pentium D 830
Me and my friend put it all together and then connected everything and turned this puppy on. Thing is all the fans turned on(even the cpu heatsink fan that is powered from the MB) and the light on all the drives turned on.( the graphics card fan was on too)... But the monitor screen remained black as if it where in standby mode and none of the lights on my keyboard turned on...... Its as if the MB is not recognizing any of the external stuff.
I've been reading the MB manual and i would put in the D-Bracket piece that has the 4 leds but i cant find the JDB1 bracket on the MB.....This is my first comp and i dont really know much about BIOS settings and the such. I read think i read something about a CMOS button and battery and something about jumping something else...but i really dont know exactly where the part is to be jumpered.
Any in-detail help would be much appreciated.....P.S. All i wanted to do was play some BF2 on my new blazing comp...but now i can't ... =(

Aaarrrrggggg!! Well when i called the Tech guy for my new chip on Wed the 14 of Sept and he said it would be send out the next day. Well i called them on friday the 16th to make sure they had sent it and the guy i talked to gave me a fedex shipping number so i could track it and he said it may take a day for the shippment to get into the system. So i checked on Sat, and Sunday, and Monday. Then i was like ....hmmmmm i called today Tuesday the 20th and he said that my part had never been shipped. (Good thing i was in a good mood otherwise i would have..........blown my top) So he was like, i'll send you a bios chip with version 1.0 on it and....i was like hold the phone... i need bios version 1.3 to get my Pentium D to work.(its like they dont keep a record of the problem..so i had to explain to him the reason why i just didn't want a new bios chip, but one with version 1.3 on it)
Anyways he gave me an order number and I guess i'm going to have to call back everyday to make sure that they ship it.
I guess for anyone getting this board they should order the updated bios chip when they order the motherboard too. I think i am going to post this on newegg and some other websites under the products reviews.....not to badmouth MSI but to make sure people know what to do when they get this problem. <-----Is that a bad idea? or a good one?

Posible p4n diamond heat problem and other beep question

Hi was using my p4n diamond for about 2h 30min and it all of a sudden just cuts out with no warning.
im unsure if its heat related thought the constant 55C is not as good temp as i should probably have but it stays stable there.
Also when i recently installed msi core it said i was very close to the voltages it had in the display just to hope to rule out power problems.
i have the cases 120mm exaust fan in the back an 80mm input fan in thefront and then the cpu fan that came with my pentium d 830 .
if its heat related should i get another 80mm fan as an exaust or an 80 mm input fan. i have one more spot on the door of the case.
----other beep question--
I was also wondering about the beeps on my computer. when i first was working with this pcc i had no beeps but then when working i had one beep before os then two after os and usb case plugs and floppy , 3 when i put on a printer and then back to one and then no beeps.
are these my beeps going down related to my heat or is this mother board short lived . one beeps soposed to mean that its loading properly
thanks

regarding your question about target temperature. my board isn't exactly the same as yours, but it's close.
you are right that you can lower the target temp and it will tend to cool the cpu because the fan runs faster at a lower temperature. the way i set up mine was to DISABLE the target temp and that gives the fan full voltage at all temps. that way, the fan rpm will bottom out at 2250rpm (instead of 1100rpm up to the target temp) or so even at lower temps.
also keep in mind that your cpu temp in the bios disply should be a few degrees HIGHER than the temp in "idle windows".
the intel data sheet for the pentium D 8xx series says that the max temp is 69C. so your cpu shouldnt have a problem at 55C.
i ran a prime95 primality test for about 17 hours at 60C to test stability (while using the computer for my normal foreground tasks) and didn't have a problem. i'm NOT recommending this. but i wanted you to know that this cpu doesn't have a problem with temps in the 60C range. and that msi motherboard will stand up to rough treatment.
also, in my humble opinion, i would NEVER run those msi windows utilities. they may be causing you a problem with stability. i use speedfan from almico to monitor temps and i have it set up to generate sound and visual warnings at certain temps. the F1 docs are good. if it were my system, i would go so far as to reinstall windows and format the C: to get rid of core center. i wouldn't even trust the uninstall unless you're good enough to surgically remove it manually.
also make sure you turn off EIST in the bios. it wont impact your temps significantly. that nvidia nforce sli intel edition has a problem with 14x multiplier and pentiumD. and EIST bumps you down to 14x occaisionally.

New system/Northbridge fan

Hi all,
I'm planning to buy some new parts for my machine:
* MSI K8N Diamond Plus
* Athlon 64bit 3500+ venice
* Kingston pc4000 1GB mem
* Tagan 530Watt PSU
* Zalman CNPS9500 Led CPU cooler
What do u think about this configuration?
And my second question is the northbridge fan, i don't like it :(
Currently i have an MSI 875P neo, this board also had an annoying NB fan which i've removed because
it wasn't really needed and it did make allot of noise.
But is this also possible with the: MSI K8N Diamond Plus board or am i going to fry this one when removed?
I'm not planning to overclock the system and have pretty good cooling (i think ) in my case:
Thermaltake soprano case
2x 12CM fan (front/back)
1x 12CM fan in PSU
Thanks in advance!

Configuration is nice,for PSU look also to my Antec http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=24480 or http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=28550 because it have cable management and you can install only the cables you need,in 6 years with Antec PSU's never have one single problem.With the northbrige fan look the response that was given to me by a forum member http://hem.legend.se/kammaren/temp/chipgpu.pdf But on my mobo doesn't fit so I use zalman fanmate 2 to reduce the rpm of the fan and now is ok the noise

Question About Northbridge fan

First, my system specs:
Intel Pentium 4 Prescott 2.8GHz HTT w/ 800MHz FSB
Thermaltake Spark 7+ Xaser Edition A1715 CPU Cooler
MSI 865PE Neo2-PFISR motherboard (BIOS ver. 3.8)
2x512MB Kingston PC3200 DDR SDRAM @ 400MHz
Maxtor 6Y120M0 120GB HDD 7200RPM SATA150 8MB cache
Built-by-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro @ XT 128MB DDR 256-bit @ 415/744 (Catalyst 4.12)
Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Revision 3
Creative SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS Platinum
Sony DDU1612 40x/16x DVD-ROM
Sony CRX230ED 52x/32x CD-RW
Enermax Noisetaker EG475P 470W PSU(+3.3V = 34A, +5V = 40A, +12V = 33A)
Windows XP Pro SP2
Even though on MSI's website the picture for the PFISR doesn't have a northbridge fan, mine does. So, is there a reason why this thing is so bloody loud? It sounds like a piece of plastic is just barely sticking up into the fans, creating a rattling sound. If I turn my CPU fan speed down to a moderate speed, the NB fan is the loudest thing in my case, and I have five 80mm case fans and two PSU fans going full speed.
Does my motherboard have fan control for this fan? Is it possible to turn the speed down some? What if it I just remove the damned thing altogether? I don't really see the point of having the fan there anyway, since both it and the heatsink are so small that they can't really be moving that much heat. How hot does the northbridge usually get? Is it possible to overclock the northbridge and see any performance gain?

If you have a shortcut already on the desktop you could right click on that, choose copy and paste that shortcut into the startup folder. Speedfan will now startup with windows.
Thanks, that worked perfectly.
And I configured Speedfan to only run the NB fan at 75%, and it is now much quieter.

Faulty P4N Diamond need RMA.

Hello, I live in the UK & I have a P4N Diamond motherboard which no longer works. Pc powers but that is all, no post or anything. I have taken the board to be tested & confirmed it is not working. I think the warranty is 3yrs & the board is a 2005 model so it should be under warranty (could somebody confirm this please). I need to get an RMA but don't know how, so if anybody could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it.
Thanks

The item is not defective. The problem is with SLI technology in general. As it turns out, an SLI computer is strictly a gaming machine and will NOT run normal application software reliably.
Here are a few examples of application software that will not run:
Example 1:
I purchased the MSI ATI Theater 550 Pro TV Tuner. I tested the tuner in a non-SLI computer and it performed at a level of quality well above anything I have ever seen before. I highly recommend this tuner. When I installed the tuner in the SLI system, the Windows Messenger failed to run and produced some really strange error messages (Active Movie errors). An attempt to run CyberLink PowerCinema 3 (the application software bundled with the tuner) will totally freeze Windows XP requiring a re-start.
Example 2:
You can forget trying to install CyberLink Power DVD 6. The installation setup will crash producing a “Catastrophic Error” message during the installation.
Example 3:
Nero Burning ROM 6 will install and you can burn CDs and DVDs but forget the CD Labeling software. An attempt to perform the following action will crash the application:
Nero Burning ROM -> File -> Print Disk Cover
Example 4:
LiteOn SmartBurn v3.1.10 is a utility that enables a user to identify the manufacturer, maximum recording speed and other parameters of a blank CD or DVD simply by inserting the blank disk in the drive and running the application. This application will produce a, “Memory Access Violation”.

P4N Diamond and Pentium D problem

Hi,
Have just bought the P4N Diamond motherboard, and a Pentim D 830 processor.
When switching on the status led shows four red lights. According to the manual this means that the processor is defective.
Have taken the processor in and out many times, but no luck.
Any other ideas ? Any assembly errors I could have made ?

IJRC, For your set up do the following:
The best way to get your system up to make sure that you have BIOS version 1.3 and up. Any BIOS version before this will not see the Pentium D. If you dont have this BIOS or are not sure it might be best if you call MSI and have them send you out a BIOS chip with the updated BIOS version on it.
-Make sure that you only install windows with one stick of RAM
-Do not connect any USB devices untill windows is up and running.
-Your MOBO takes alot of power, so make sure that you have a quality PSU as well as it having plenty of amps on the 12v rail. (As per the P4N manual p.10, 450watts and atleast 20amps on the 12v rail is recommended for system staibility.)
-Drivers for me were not that much of a problem except for my monitor, but my GPU sees it for what it is and thats what matters. Ofcourse if you dont have the internet up and running getting drivers might be a problem.
- As long as your follow these steps you should be fine with installing windows 64x. To be safe just download the Marval Lan Eathernet Drivers and burn them to a cd before you start your build. That way you can access the internet to download 64x drivers. For the most part you shouldnt have a problem getting drivers...if you have an hp printer you will have a problem though.
GL and write back if you have problems...i think that i have been through them all with this MOBO and the Pentium D. However with the help from this fourm i think that i have everything under control.

[875P Neo Series] P4N Diamond - RAID problem

Hi,
I just purchased a P4N Diamond. I've installed WinXP-SP2 on a single Samsung 70GB IDE disk on IDE1 as Primary Master. Two CD/DVD drives are on IDE2.
SATA-1 and SATA-2 are connected to Hitachi 500GB SATA drives.
I've entered the nVidea RAID utility in Bios by pressing F10 during boot, and established the two SATA drives as a mirrored volume.
After reboot the RAID volume is detected and appear as sync'ed during reboot.
Now comws the problems: I am utterly unable to set these two drives up as a mirrored volume under WindowsXP-SP2:
When I enter Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Storage -> Disk management, both disks appear as separate disks and Unallocated. When I Right Click to create a new volume, I don't the option of creating a Mirrored volume.
Even stranger thing happens if I now exit everything and reboot: The nVidea RAID utility in BIOS has now been reset to two separate drives.
Question is: What do I do wrong, and how do I get these two 500GB drives set up as one mirrored RAID volume?
Regards,
Robert H

[nVidia Series] P4N Diamond raid problem

i have a P4N diamond motherboard with a 3 ghz cpu on. I have setted up a raid 5 with 4 drives on the nvidia raid controller. on the sillicon raid controller i want to have to have 2 sata disks striped. In the sillicon bios for the raid i have configured those 2 drives for raid0 and i get 1 logical drive which i also can see from the bios. My problem is then that when i boot up the computer and begin the installation of windows xp ( and give it the sillicon driver with the F6 button ) then i get 2 logical disks on the sillicon controller instead of my striped raid0 drive.
What do i do wrong? everything looks right for me in the bios. Raid is enabled and the serial ata ports are enabled. Help please
- Jesper H

problem fixed by using the right silicon driver. the orginal diskette driver can not be used. you need to make a diskette with the raid version of the silicon driver.

All sorts of problems with P4N Diamond

Hello all
I am trying to get my P4N diamond motherboard to work and I am starting to get pretty p****d off with it. I have built many systems before and on the whole they work fine pretty much straight away.
The first few times I tried to boot the syetem up I got a series of low and high beeps from the board and I couldn't even get into the BIOS set up screen. After unplugging USB devices and network ect I finall ymanaged to get into the BIOS. If I leave my printer plugged in (USB) I get a beep from the system speaker every now and then.
I then tried booting to windows. I have 2 windows builds on my hard drives - both of them crash when I try to boot into them, I have tried safe mode.
I then decided that I would install a fresh copy of windows (even though I only did this about a week ago). I put my windows CD in (XP media centre) and try to go through the normal set up procedure. I I try to repair the current installation or install a new copy it crashes each time it examines the discs.
I then load the drivers that came with the MB as the wondows installer is booting up - I load 3, 2 form one disc and 1 from the other. Now when I try to install a new copy it hangs on please wait.
I have a 400W power supply this one, 2 IDE CD drives, one IDE hard disk (secondary) and 1 SATA Hard drive. FOr most of what I was trying above I had the IDE drive disconnected and was jsut trying to get it to work with the SATA drive.
I think this is something to do with Raid drivers (even though I don't want a RAID array) but I don't know how to fix it.
I was hoping to have this all workign for tomorrow morning. Now I am goign to have to use my slow old laptop for work instead.
I REALLY hope someone can help me with this.

I might have a little bit of insight for you on your problems.
1. Beeps from your P4N:
You should get one beep for every USB device you have connected to your system.
2. Windows crashes when installing:
Make sure that you have NO USB devices connected, if have USB mouse or keyboard, get old ones for initial install and then once windows is running connect them, also you can get adapters. Also make sure that you only have ONE stick of RAM in when installing. If you have two, wait till you have windows up and running to install the other. Make sure that you have NO scratches on the back of the CD.
3. Diamond Clue CODE no good.
Call MSI on this, you are not the only one.
When building a new computer you should always build bare bones to make sure that you can boot with no errors. Its really not needed to have your printer hooked up the first time you are going to boot up your new computer, these are the type on things that cause conflicts. I would try to get things running bare bones here...that means the mininum. Try one hard drive...then work your way up. If you dont want RAID it should be easier for you, make sure that you have the jumper settings right on all drives. ALSO it would help if you would create a sig line (see mine below) with all your hardware. Make sure that you incluse your PSU 12v...you have a dual rail 15 and 14. It will help the mods help you.
GL and post back with ?'s
