[P965 NEO MS-7235 ver1.1] CPU support?

Hello,
Is the Core2 7xxx series  supported on the MS-7235 ver 1.1 P965 Neo (latest bios v1.B0)
I would like to replace a Core2 4300 by a Core2 Duo E7400 (Freq 2.8Ghz, Core 45nm, FSB 1066Mhz, L2 Cache 3Mb, PCG 06, SLB9Y)
On the website, it seems hat these proc. are not supported

Precisely, 45nm CPUs, FSB-333-MHZs-Processors and Quad Core Processors are not supported on this mainboard.
If you are thinking about a CPU Upgrade, the best processors you can upgrade to would be one of the E6x00 Series (E6300, E6400, E6600, E6700, X6800).

  • P965 neo-f (7235) memory (4gb) incorrectly detected in bios (solved)

    hello
    My bios is 1.4.
    I have kingmax ddr2 mars 667mhz memory.
    4 memory modules of 1gb = 4gb.
    My bios detected only 3 406 784 kb but the total memory should be 4 194 304 kb.
    Anyone got this problem ?
    I hope the futur bios can resolve this problem.
    Thank...
    there's no problem with 2 * 1gb or 3 * 1gb

    I remember that this is an calculation problem has many users with 4GB RAMs or more will encounter same issues, even on an Intel Original board.
    then i'm not alone

    Dhal, this is the 32-bit limitation. What is your CPU? What's your OS? If you instaleld a 64-bit OS, you will gain back all 4GB. But for BIOS, WinXP 32-bit, you will only manage to utilize about 3.4GB. This is because some I/O devices are having the same memory address at the upper memory area, that's why the physical DIMM RAM you added in, those addresses cannot be utilized to avoid conflicts.
    I have conroe E6600 cpu, with winxp 32 bits OS.
    I understand now why (avoid i/o devices memory adress conflicts with ddr adress memory between 3 406 784 kb and 4 194 304 kb ).
    So if my OS was winxp64 or in the futur, will be vista64 (same problem with vista 32bits i suppose).
    The OS 64bit bypass the bios memory calculation and send me back my precious memory   :D
    thanks for your response     

  • USB-trouble on 7235 P965 Neo board

    Hi,
    I resently bought a HP Photosmart C4280 all in one printer. However, connecting this to my computer to any USB port causes that the computer completely freezes up.
    As soon as the power to the printer is switched on or a switched on printer is connected through the USB port to the computer this happens.
    HP-help center advised to change the drivers of the USB ports and choose the Standard USB host controller. Doing this I noticed that only 2 of the 7 USB host controller in the device manager are listed as "enhanced" versions the other are the "universal" versions. I came to understand the enhanced version means USB2.0 and the other USB 1.1. This brings me to my questions
    - Is it correct there are only 2 USB2.0 host controllers possible, and how can I find out which usb-port this refers to. I have 4 in the back (on the MoBo) and 2 in the front panel.
    - From MB is advertised having 10 USB2.0 ports. No mention of USB1.1 only ports. Is this correct. (I suspect the backpanel USB ports of beiing only USB1.1.
    - I cannot install the "enhanced" drivers for the now listed "universal" host controller. Is this correct.
    - Does anyone have additional thoughts/ solutions about a printer that freezes up the computer when connected or powerd.
    As mentioned in the title my motherboard is of the type MSI P965 Neo version 7235 V1.1.
    Thank you for your time.
    M.

    All of your USB-Ports can operate either in USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 mode.  They are assigned to the proper controller when an USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 device is connected.  Have a look at the explanation I provided here for comparison:

  • How to Change to AHCI mode on MSI P965 Neo MB

    I have a P965 Neo MS-7235 (V1.x) Mainboard. My Bios is the Phoenix Award but I am not sure which version as I did not update it since I bought it about 4 years ago. (I will check & update this post if necessary).
    I am not able to change to AHCI mode in the Bios as I am unable to find any options to do this change. My Wind 7 device manager shows Intel ICH8 2 ports serial ATA storage controllers.
    Please advise. Should I update my Bios.? If so, how?
    Thanks in advance.

    The ICH8 chipset used on your mainboard does not support AHCI.  There is nothing that can be done about it.  No BIOS Update will ever change that.

  • P965 Neo and Corsair XMS2 DIMM kit 1024MB PC2-5300U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-667

    I have a nasty compatibility issue with my P965 Neo board in combination with Corsair DDR2 memory.
    Hardware config:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, 2x2.13GHz, 266MHz FSB
    MSI P965 Neo-F (7235 PCB-V1.1) BIOS V1.50
    Corsair XMS2 DIMM kit 1024MB (2x512MB) PC2-5300U CL4-4-4-12 (DDR2-667) XMS5402v5.7
    Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB 16MB SATA II
    Asus Extreme N7600GS SILENT/HTD, GeForce 7600 GS, 256MB, DVI, TV-out, PCIe
    Using the Corsair memory at 667MHz (BIOS: auto by SPD) results in an unstable system and a lot of memory errors (checked by memtest86+). If I set the frequency to 533MHz the system is 100% stable.
    Anyone else who encountered this problem? I have also tried to use only 1 DIMM for single channel mode, same problem.
    Will this issue be fixed in the upcoming BIOS release?

    strange there are no corsair 5300 only 5400 ?
    and cm2x512-5400c4 needs 2.0v but cm2x512-5400c4pro only 1.9v ! so maybe it has nothing to say that my 5400c4pro are perfect ?
    how good are the samsungs ?

  • P965 NEO freezing with internal memory card reader?

    Hi,
    I have a P965 NEO (MS-7235 Bios v1.5) and when I plug the internal card reader into the motherboard (connections JUSB1, JUSB2, JUSB3) The system will freez. If I un-plug it (even when the PC is still on) the computer will unfreez. I am dumb founded by this issue and require any help!
    Cheers....
    I am using Windows XP pro.

    Actually I did state I am using XP (Pro in fact).
    I am using a 450Watt Power supply (Thermaltake).
    And with the problem I am having I do not think it would matter for you or anyone else here to know if I have 1gig of ram or 2 hence why I did not put up system specs. I feel the problem is Motherboard/ Card reader related so I posed all info that was required for this issue. I even posted the Bios version so  I think I have not posted to little info for the situation.
    Also there is no need to be so rude!
    I did not post my reply to you in such a too the point fashion but since that is how you like to communicate I responded this way in this post.

  • MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

    Hi, all!
    I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
    I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the  four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
    Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
    I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
    Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

  • Quad Core support for P965 Neo-f

    I noticed that on the main MSI website doesn't say that P965 Neo-F.
    But prior getting the MB from a shop in Singapore, the shop seller phoned a Singapore MSI Representative and he confirmed that The Mobo will support Quad Core.
    So i end up getting the mobo. Can anyone confirm on this or the SG MSI staff has given incorrect information?

    The problem is that I there might not be a lot of people who have actually tried to make a Quad Core CPU work on that motherboard.  I believe that most people who decide to go for a Quad Core will probably just buy a mainboard that officially support that kind of CPU (and avoid the Neo-f).  Calling MSI Support to ask if it is possible even though the product description does not mention it, is usually not the "standard" procedure.
    That is why I do not believe you will find a clear answer to your question in a user forum like this, because nobody has really tried it in practice.  You might be one of the first person trying to put such a combination to work.  I am sure many people will be interested in reading about your experiences... 
    Again, I doubt that you will get a clear answer to your question, unless you find someone who has actually tried this kind of setup. Until then you have to rely on what MSI Support told you and hope that this statement is a true one.

  • How to get new E8400 CPU to work with P965 Neo-F V2?

    My old Core 2 Duo E6850 CPU died recently, but Intel doesn't manufacture that model any longer it seems and noone has it available. From the mainboard CPU compatibility list I could see that the equivalent E8400 model would work with my P965 Neo-F V2 as well, and the guy who sold it to me said it would. However, if I understand the compatibility list correctly, the E8400 CPU needs the newest 3.8 BIOS. I've never flashed the BIOS, so it's whatever version it came with (2.1 I think).
    Is there any way to get this BIOS on the mainboard without my old CPU? I got a used (but working) E8400 CPU to try with, but it gets stuck at the first boot screen. I can't access the BIOS settings or get a keyboard to work.
    Is there anything I can do with my current CPU and mainboard, or do I have to find a CPU that runs on the mainboard, flash the BIOS and then use the new CPU? Am I completely screwed?
    Thank you.

    do I have to find a CPU that runs on the mainboard, flash the BIOS and then use the new CPU?
     Yes. Original BIOS would have been 3.0
     Edit: This is best way to flash BIOS >> USB BIOS flash << Don't use 'Live Update'

  • "Core Center does not support your motherboard" MSI P965 Neo Mobo

  • Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

    Can it handle 2x 1 GB DDR2 ELPIDA PC2-5300, 667 MHz, ECC
    Does the MSI P965 Neo-F support ECC memory?

    As mentioned by many, No ECC RAMs support.
    To me, I feel that current state of art DDR II RAMs are good enough to not produced much errors and HDDs have error buffer memory of up to 16MB, so ECC makes me feels that it is a "good to have but not a must" thing nowdays.

    As I said from beginning, the Kentsfield core processors (Core 2 Quad) are not supported (hardware limitations) on this mainboard.
    That "YES" was for an X6700 (a "rare" Core 2 Extreme).
