P965 Neo-F Motherboard help

I have a P965 Neo-F motherboard that I bought a few years back.  I am currently running a Core 2 duo E6300 Conroe 1.8GHz processor that is 65nm.
I was wanting to upgrade and purchased a Core 2 duo E7600 Wolfdale 3.06Ghz that is a 45nm.  At the time of purchase,  I did not know anything about 45-65nm and was just looking at LGA 775 and 65W thinking  it could just be dropped in. 
Well,  once changed,  I get nothing.  The PC fires up but there is nothing on the screen.  I have since switched it back,  and it is running fine,  but I would still like to use this processor since it cant be refunded,  is it possible to interchange between the two?

Try flashing it to version 3.8

It supports the earlier 45nm CPU's. Latest BIOS was 2007-11-20, the E7600 Launch Date - Q2'09.
Both statements are true for the MS-7235 PCB 2.x mainboard models (P965 Neo2 & P965 Neo-F V2) which use AMI coded A7235IMS.3xx releases.
If the information Narrdo gave in his initial post is correct (P965 Neo-F), then he has an MS-7235 PCB v1.x model which uses AWARD coded W7235IMS.1xx releases.
The latter mainboard model, which Narrdo actually appears to have, does NOT support 45nm CPUs nor Core-2-Quad processors!

    Yes, it will.
    It also depends on the hardwares that you are going to setup together with the system.

  • P965 Neo-F - setup help..

    Hi..
    I recently bought this board and installed it with 1x sata drive (on sata 4.. as the manual sayes) and two IDE CD Roms.
    Everything seemed to work fine until I added another sata drive (sata 3 I think). When I went to format this drive it added it as a raid drive, which I didn't want.
    In ordre to try and fix this I re-installed windows.. only for the format of my C drive to wipe the entire primary drive (no worries as I can get the stuff back !).
    My question is.. what do I need to set in the bios to get the sata HDs setup as standard drives (ie. NO raid) and still get my IDE Cd drives to work (I tried changing the raid stuff in the bios and it turned off my IDE Cd Drives !.. a bit vague I know.. but I have no idea what I'm doing in the BIOS).
    So for a noob.. could someone please explain how I set the BIOS up for two normal (non raid) sata HDs and two IDE Cd Roms.
    Thank you

    1. Make sure all SATA devices are connected to the ports belonging to the Intel ICH8 controller (NOT to JMICRON controller, which also provides a S-ATA port). The Intel ICH8 chipset does not have an integrated RAID controller (the ICH8R-chipset does on the P965 Platinum).
    2. Now, JMicron Chipset does support RAID and in order to use IDE drives correctly, go to BIOS and set:
    Integrated Peripherals --> On-Chip ATA Devices --> On-Chip Secondary PCI IDE --> IDE\RAID Control --> IDE
    This setting is related to JMicron only.
    3. I suppose your SATA drive was hooked up to the JMicron S-ATA port and the option mentioned above was set to RAID instead of IDE.

    Hi,

    somthing like ODD0 DVD RW
    I will try the second option you recommended,thx alot.
    Hello, welcome to forum. if you are planing to update BIOS:
    get P965 Neo BIOS ver. 1.6 CD Image (have modded boot record and integrate JMB361 Dos drivers.)
    How do i flash it?
    Extract image file from archive, and burn it to CD.(example: open it with nero burning rom and burn image file to CD)
    Make and ensure PC is stable, then reboot PC and boot from CD. you will need to confirm twice BIOS update when asked.
    after BIOS update is complete successfully, power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit few time power button to drain electrify from capacitors, touch some metal with hands to discharge any ES which you may have, then open the case and Clear CMOS then pull back power cord, and turn on your PC, will be notice CMOS CHEKSUM MISMATCH/ERROR, hit F1 to continue to rebuild DMI Pool Data, then reboot your PC, and enter in BIOS and LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, SAVE AND EXIT, go back to BIOS and apply your customs settings.
    if you want to use USB key to flash BIOS, copy AWFL865.EXE & W7235IMS.160 to USB drive, reboot PC and boot from bootable location, (hold "SHIFT" key when starting loading from bootable device to bypass startup files to avoid loading memory managers and other applications) navigate to folder which containt flash program and BIOS file and type from there:
    AWFL865.EXE W7235IMS.160 /cks/sn/py/cc/cd/cp/wb/ld/qi/f/e

  • Setup Raid and installing Windows Vista - P965 Neo-f

    I hope someone can help....
    I bought this motherboard along with all the other items required to build a new system as follows:
    MSI P965 Neo-f motherboard (Bios v1.5)
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
    2gb (2 x 1gb) OCZ PC-6400 (800) Memory
    2 x 200gb Hitachi Hard Drives (to be run in Raid 0)
    Sony/Nec Optiarc DVD-Writer
    Liteon DVD-Rom
    Hiper 530w PSU
    Innovision 7300GT Graphics
    After battling for two days trying to get a DVD-Rom to work through the Jmicro (PATA) IDE interface (no other item connected) within Vista, I've finally sussed it 
    However, how do you get Raid 0 set up via the southbridge (ICH8)?
    I have built many PC's previously using various Raid formations, and none have been anything like this motherboard to set up (its like going back to day one on building PC's).
    The question is how? All other systems I have built allowed you to set SATA raid up in the Bios, then you would be presented with the setup utility whilst booting to allow you to set the Raid options.
    However, this motherboard doesn't want to play ball. There is very limited options within the bios, and nothing which will allow you to set SATA raid other than being able to set either IDE or Raid (which makes diddly squat to anything). All other Bios's I have used had many other options to enable various SATA settings including setting which channels I would like to use for RAID (all i seem to be able to do is either Enable or Disable stuff). None of this appears in this bios, so how do I go about setting the bios to enable SATA Raid, so that I'm able to access the Raid Utility at boot time (i think its CTRL-i to access it, which doesn't work on this machine) and set my striped disks? People on this forum have also mentioned ACHI, but even that doesn't appear in the Bios anywhere (although I won't be using it).
    Installing Vista is easy, but being microsoft its different. Theres no option for F6 anymore but you get the option to load drivers during the install. This no longer requires a floppy disk as per older versions as you are able to browse anything connected to your system (CD,DVD etc etc). The few times I have had to install Vista onto this machine I just pointed it to the MSI driver disk, the Intel folder and loaded the ICH8 Raid drivers and everything installed perfectly from there (am i doing this right?).
    BUT STILL NO RAID OPTIONS 
    Do I need to install the Intel Matrix Storage when I've installed Vista, as I've tried so many times without success (it keeps saying the system doesn't meet the requirements) that I've given up with that one but I don't no if I need it or not????
    Hope someone can help and come up with an idiots guide on setting up Raid on this motherboard, as I need to get this computer to its owner on Monday......
    Cheers

    Connected harddisk to SATA cable and EIDE cable to samsung writemaster DVD writer.  Not sure why BIOS can't detect the writemaster drive but can detect harddisk? 
    Quote from: Misha
    Just bought the board. Installed it. will not boot from win xp or any other bootable cd rom. help
    The Intel 965 (and 975) chipset does NOT support IDE/PATA.
    For this reason, each mainboards manufacturer is using a 3rd party IDE controller.
    In this case (P965 Neo2) MSI is using Marvell 88SE6111.
    Any PATA device is not recognized in the first boot phase. You have to wait for the 2nd one (post-boot) in order to see it.
    Check out your bootable devices (and their order) in BIOS: the CDROM option means SATA optical device, not PATA CDROM.
    To select the PATA optical drive, search for something like ... DVD-RAM in those options.

  • MSI P965 Neo onboard Realtek HD audio has no sound

    I just bought a new MSO P965 neo-f motherboard with the built-in 7-1 Realtek HD audio and I have no sound.
    Windows detects it and I have installed the latest realtek driver (v1.49). Everything looks fine, but there is no sound, as if its all muted.
    I have tried different speakers, but no result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Quote from: Me27 on 16-November-06, 17:43:28
    The other soundcard is in a box, not connected to the motherboard, due to a lack of PCI slots. I really do no understand the choice of MSI to only use 3. I personally would have needed atleased 5 slots, but could not find any (MSI) bord with 5.
    It comes down to a change in technology that is happening, Me27.  6 or 7 years ago you would have found most motherboards with 3 PCI and 2 or 3 ISA slots.  Then we went to 5 or 6 PCI when ISA pretty well faded.  Over Time AGP came out and took the place of one of these PCI slots since you no longer needed one for graphics.
    Now we have PCI Express for the graphics, but the technology for PCI-E has also started to be implemented for many components that were previously PCI only.  So now we are changing technology again and you have 3 PCI and 2 or 3 available PCI-E slots.
    As time goes on you will probably start to see more and more boards that contain more PCI-E slots and less PCI until standard PCI fades and the next technology comes along.
    It's part of changes to technology.

  • MSI P965 Neo-F mobo and ASUS EAH4850/HTDI 512MB

    Hi I have the MSI P965 neo-f motherboard and I am interested in buying a new graphic card for my computer. But I am concerned about compatibility issues of my motherboard with different graphics cards. Currently I am interested in buying the ASUS EAH4850/HTDI 512MB graphic. Does anybody knows if my motherboard will work with this card? Did someone had any issues.
    Thanks in advance,
    phanosp

    Hi NovJoe,
    Thanks for the reply. As far I can tell the card is backward compatible with PCI-E 1.0. I just wanted to ask if someone has actually used this card with my mobo to make sure that there are no compatibility issues.
    Thanks,

  • MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

    Hi,
    I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.
    When i reboot or reset, it shuts down the operating system/BIOS, after that the PC stays on but my screen stays black.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thank you,

    I dont know solution ...   
    i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
    i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
    after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
    with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
    so and here is one similiar problem

  • MSI P965 Neo-F Sata & IDE presentation (& boot options)

    hi,
    I have purchased a MSI P965 Neo F motherboard.
    http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/Product...3735&cat_id=77
    I have flashed the bios to the lastest 1.18 revision.
    If you look at this board, you'll find it has 5 SATA ports.
    - 1 SATAII port by JMicron JMB361.
    - 4 SATAII ports by ICH8.
    Questions:
    1.) The machine only appears to be able to boot from the 1 jmicron sata port.
    2.) within the bios any disks plugged into the board on the other 4 ports show up as "ide" disks, this could be wording or this could be some cheap bus trick

    Hi, thanks for responding, 
    Quote
    no wrong with "ide", as SATA ports on ICH8 are detected as IDE devices, (as opposed to detected as SCSI device).
    could you clarify this, I think its just the "no wrong" line, what do you mean by this.
    Quote
    No, the machine is able to boot from any JMicron port, including PATA port.
    there is only 1 jmicron sata port, so my initial comment was aimed at you can only boot from this 1 sata port - not the other 4 ich8 ports, I assume thats correct from your comment.

  • Where can I get a new i/o-shield for my P965 Neo-F V2 motherboard?

    I need an i/o-shield for MSI P965 Neo-F V2 motherboard.
    I live in Finland, I've asked from local stores but nobody sells them separately.
    Anybody knows where to acquire one?  (it can be from another motherboard too, if it's exactly like the one that comes with Neo-F V2).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    I found this place---> http://www.censuspc.com/Back-Panel-I-O-Shields-c-39.html which ships internationally(no international Credit Cards though--does accept PayPal).  Take a look at the shields they have to see if any have the right cutouts. I remember Intel selling a ton of different I/O shields and maybe one of those will work, but I haven't found the link yet.  Try contacting the MSI office in your area and see they can help.
    Edit: I found it! Here's a link with illustrations of various Intel I/O shields: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-009031.htm
