PCI Bus unlocked on K9N4 SLI F

Hello people, I'm new at this forum. I'm from Argentina and I'm trying to find a solution to this issue.
When I raise the fsb bus the pci bus go up too. I have a sound blaster audigy on that bus and that's why I can't go further with my overclock :(
I get 220 fsb from bios and I get 36 mhz to the pci bus. Then I used clock-gen and here are the pictures.
I really need help here, I even try to find some "hidden" bios options by my self but I didn't found any :(
I didn't find on the bios nothing about pci/lock or pci/async. I also have the latest bios(v1.4).
I don't know what to do.
Thank you all in advance
Regards

K9N4-SLI video question

I'm real close to buying the MSI K9n4-SLI-F MB. I dl'ed the manual and it seams to say that the PCIE 16x slots are only supported at 8X speed. I understand if that is true while in SLI, but is the 1st slot running at 16x with one vid card?
Thanks

Happy to help. It should make a nice Christmas gift for him.

Can any help me i have a 7600gs in a msi k9n4 sli f

i have a msi k9n4 sli and a asus en7600gs silent heatsink gcard (512mb) (pci express) and as i made my new pc i installed these new parts and to my surprise the asus 7600gs is showing up as runnin at 8x not 16x and i thought pci express cards ran at 16x can any1 help me plz

i have not got that option in my bios what should i do
give us full PC specification. read Moan Guide including PSU brand +details(can be found into PSU sticker).
what exactly mainboard model you have got? --> http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_list.php?kind=1&CHIP=71&NAME=Socket%20AM2%20(AMD%20K9)
which one?
also where you see that PCI-E is x8?
have you installed chipset drivers 1st?

K9N2 Diamond Hangs pre-POST PCI-Bus not working

Hello,
I've had a happily working system for over a eyar, but the other day I discovered that the display no longer worked. So I rebooted and noted the diagnostic leds were RED-RED-GREEN-RED. After digging around and looking at page 2-26 of the K9N2 SLI Platinum's manual, it informed me that I was hanging at Bad memory. So I tried without ram and with new 800 speed ram, and still the same leds. Tried new ram in diffrent slots, no change. Tried only 1 stick, no change. Tried with no ram, mo change. Tried removing all PCI-X & PCI cards and still nothing. Removed all drive cables and still no change. In the end, I only have my processor installed and it still hangs at start.
I reinstalled everything and tried another approach. I used the onboard DVI graphics port and just bided my time. Got the usual R-R-G-R lights and waited a few minutes. Eventually I reached the BIOS. I checked all the settings, it was detecting processor, ram, drives, all were fine. So I let the system eventually boot into win7 and arrived at the desktop. I then discovered that the sound card was not operating either. This led me to believe that the entire PCI bus had failed.
Has anyone else come across this? I take it that at this point that my only avenue for fix if to RMA the motherboard.
Here's machine specs for anyone interested.

Sugestion -> get a proper PSU to test ,thats vaporware.They look nice ,but they "stink" inside soldering and components wise.Not to say that the PSU is multirailed.I bet that the wires are also under gauged .

K9N4 SLI with AMD Athlon 6400+ X2 - Damage to CPU???

Hello everybody...I have a very quick question. I purchase an AMD Ahtlon 6400+ X2 processor and the MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard not knowing that they are incompatible. I didn't find this out until I had installed the CPU, RAM and PCI-E video card, powered up and didn't get a boot or POST. It's alittle frustrating and I've made arrangements to swap the motherboard for one that is compatible. However my concern here is any damage that may have occurred to the processor in doing this. Does anyone know whether this would have caused any permanent damage to the CPU or any other component? Any response would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Just to let you know, i too made the same mistake back in February 2008. i got the same board and the same processor and it also would not boot. However, luckily I did have my old processor to got back to and i installed it and then I flashed the BIOS to 1.4 and then reinstalled the 6400 CPU. I have been running my PC for nearly a year now and have had no problems. So I doubt it caused any damage.

Does the MSI Z68-G43 G3 support 8/8 PCIe 2.0 lanes (for SLI/CF)

Hello,
The MSI webpage states
Quote
• 1 PCI Express gen3 x16 slot, 1 PCI Express gen2 x16 slot
• 2 PCI Express gen2 x1 slots
• 3 PCI slots, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface
for the MSI Z68-G43 G3. It doesn't say whether the board can run the 16 PCIE 2.0 Lanes in 8/8 configuration. My current (Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3) board can only do 16/4, so I am considerung moving to this board for Crossfire. Does anyone know if 8/8 2.0 is possible with this board and a Sandy Bridge CPU?
Regards
chris

SLI is not possible on this board.
The PCI-E 2.0 slot is equipped with only 4 lanes.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-specification
PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (1x16), Gen2 (1x4)
Thanks for the help, Remus!
I am now looking to get a Z77A-GD55 instead. It is specified as PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (16, 16), Gen2(4) so it should be fine (Sandy Bridge only reduces it to Gen2 (16, 16) instead of Gen3 (16, 16), right?).
They are somewhat hard to find, though, unlike the Z68A-GD65-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8) and Z68A-GD80-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8), Gen2 (1x4) . So I'll see what I can get.

PCI bus and memory ranges in Device Manager.

Hello,
I looked in device manager on my netbook that has no dedicated graphics card (so no dedicated VRAM) and uses shared system RAM as
it’s video buffer, the following memory ranges have been assigned to the on board card -
If I then change the view in device manager to ‘Resources by type’, Windows shows the following memory ranges to be on the PCI bus
Basically all the memory ranges that have been assigned to the card are shown to be also on the PCI bus. I would understand this with
a dedicated graphics card where data needs to be forwarded onto the PCI bus but I know my netbook is using system memory as the frame buffer which then I assume the card reads from there.
Do you know why these addresses are shown to be on the PCI bus, is it just because the card is a PCI device so it’s easier for Windows
just to display them as if they were on that bus, and anything written to these address will still go into system memory?
I know it’s a bit of a random question but I’ve been trying to find an answer online and can’t seem to find anything.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

Hi,
For your question: Do you know why these addresses are shown to be on the PCI bus, is it just because the card is a PCI device so it’s easier
for Windows just to display them as if they were on that bus, and anything written to these address will still go into system memory?
Yes.
You can check the hardware memory usage via Resource Monitor.

Code 28 on PCI bus ACPI\SMO8800

Code 28 on PCI bus ACPI\SMO8800
Hi i have an unknown device in my device manager. in propertis it shows this message - "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" i cannot update the driver windows cannot find the driver. Under
the details tab property is: hardware Ids value ACPI\SMO8800 and *SMO8800.
I have found out that this is an accelerometer, a device that detects when your laptop may be
falling and instantly stops the hard disk so it isn’t damaged on impact.
The dell has a link to the driver on for the freefall sensor but it is not compatible with my xps or is it?
Will that driver update my (xps L702X windows 7 x64) unknown device?

I have the same problem!
My laptop is XPS L501X
The drivers " Dell-STM-Free-Fall-Sensor, Driver " are not compatible with my laptop!

What is the PCI bus performance of the 1422?

I'm currently using an IMAQ PCI-1422 to acquire images from a camera. The image size is 1280x1024 @ 8-bits a pixel. Currently the camera can only run freely at 20 fps. So this data rate is roughly 26 MB/s. The IMAQ card seems to be able to acquire these images at that rate. However, I need to be able to retrieve these images into system memory at the same rate. At this time, I've only managed to retrieve the images at around 12 fps which is about 16 MB/s. Is this all I can reasonably expect from this card? There is no other activity along the PCI bus except for perhaps minor updates to the video display.
I'm acquiring images using a Grab. I use a callback on the Buffer Done signal to trigger an acquisit
ion running in another thread. Actually, I'd prefer to the acquisition in the callback itself, but I am uncertain as to how the callback is implemented and what I can and can't do in a callback. Is there documentation somewhere that I'm missing?
Oh yeah. I'm using MSVC++ and Windows 98.
Thanks

I tried the example and removed the clipping the ROI to the size of the canvas and also took out the image plot to make sure we would get accurate times. I get the same frame rate with that example as I did with my own code (around 12 fps). Also, I neglected to mention that for my own code I placed calls to timers just before and just after the call to imgGrab, and the time difference is what you would expect: about .083 seconds (average) to retrieve one frame.
I know nothing about the internal structure of the PCI-1422, but considering that we are retrieving images from the same SDRAM memory that is being used to acquire images, are we seeing some sort of bus contention on the PCI-1422 itself? Also, the camera I'm using is an evaluation board, and I have access
to the schematics and should soon have access to the CPLD design. So I can verify the design of the camera itself. I'm glad to hear that you expect to be able to transfer at 45MB/sec. That probably means that there is something not quite right either in the camera interface or perhaps in the computer system being used. But if you have any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them.
Thanks for the response.

X-Fi XtremeGamer doesn't work, is pci bus the cau

Hello,
warning: lengthy post ahead
I've recently bought an X-Fi XtremeGamer and an old thinclient pc, with the idea of making a small, low-power mp3 player. The thin client has a VIA C3 533Mhz processor, 256Mb ram, and a single PCI slot (used for the X-Fi).
However, when I install the X-Fi and the drivers, it just doesn't seem to work: while it shows up in the device manager without any error indication, it doesn't produce any sound at all. The audio console behaviour is odd as well: changing modes causes it to completely freeze up, and I can't select any speaker configuration, even tough I have analog speakers connected to the green jack.
I'm running a fresh installation of Windows XP SP2, disabled the on-board audio and removed the drivers for the on-board audio. I've already tried cleaning and reinstalling the X-Fi drivers, but the result stays the same. Trying to change sound levels in microsoft's sound manager doesn't make a difference either. I've tested the sound card in another, 'regular' pc, and it works fine.
Because there's absolutly no documentation to be found for this thinclient, I can't determine the exact version of it's PCI bus. However, based on the keying, it appears to use 5V signalling. This shouldn't be a problem for the X-Fi, since it's keying indicates it can use both 5V and 3.3V pcI busses. However, I was able to determine that the PCI slot does *not* provide -2V, as it is supposed to. Could this be the cause of the X-Fi's malfunctioning?
Thanks

This is really a bad issue. I think unless you are in the warranty period please change it once again and more over please if possible perform the deleting task over there

Crackling while PCI-bus is stressed [Audigy 2

Hello
I have a Audigy 2 NZ soundcard. I recently bought a SATA-controller card and have connected a harddri've to said controller. When that disc is under heavy load, such as when transferring large amounts of data to my main harddri've, I experience crackling and hissing sounds while playing music (and presumably any other sound-related activity).
If the harddri've is not under heavy load everything works perfectly. I gather this has to do with the PCI-bus being stressed.
I realize there are plenty of posts on this forum discussing a crackling/hissing problem on the Audigy 2, however many of them seem to concern a general crackling problem, even while the system is not under any sort of stress whatsoever...
So, finally, my question is: is there anything to be done to eliminate this crackling?

Solfi wrote:
...if I'm not completely off about what these latencies does, shouldn't I be *decreasing* the latency of the soundcard, so that it's lower than the Raid-controller, thus giving it priority over the SATA-cards in my case?
And is there any way to quantify whether or not changing these settings arbitrarily has any optmising or detrimental effect?... Are any guides out there as to what values one should choose, or is it all a matter of try, try again?
Decreasing PCI latency means less CPU time.
Here is some information @ http://www.mark-knutson.com/t3/index.html
You can google more.
You can also prevent programs to set PCI Latency (set by the BIOS (PCI Latency timing setting)) using registry tweak.
- set all DisableProgPCILatency key values on registry into (HEX or DEC). (defaulted to 0).
- boot PC to BIOS
- set PCI latency timing value into 32 or 64 (BIOS) 'this become settings default (32 =
best overall performance)
- boot
When you BOOT # time after changes, your PC may freeze or start very slowly. If it
does, BOOT once into safe -mode (no changes needed ). I think this happens if your
graphics card is not accepting too low value.
Run PCI Latency tool and see, if there is some useful changes got.
If you need to adjust more, then use tool for it (This also allows increasing your sound
cards PCI latency, if you feel its too low).

Looking for some more voltage love K9N4-SLI

Maybe one of you fine folks can help a brother out on a bios. I have the 1.51 bios for my K9N4 SLI-F board, and the one thing that's holding me back is a little more voltage out of my ram, and possibly a smidge on the north bridge. Is it possible to modify the bios so I can up the ram voltage? I'm running a 5000+ BE and I have plenty of cooling to keep the rig cool. I'm using 2x2gig sticks of GSKill pc6400 F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ and a little more voltage would probably go a long way. Thanks in advance.

Quote from: lanman31337 on 04-April-08, 06:35:28
Again, this board is invaluable. You got me from 3000 to 3150, and I can probably keep going. Raised my ram to 2, northbridge and processor up .5. Running VERY cool, running VERY stable, thanks!
Nice

K9n4 sli wont boot into bios

this is a new build my specs are

ram ocz 6400 dual channel 2x 2gig
power supply ocz game extreme 700
video card evga 8800gts
hard drive wd 500 gig sata
heat sink ocz vendetta
so like the title says I can not get into the bios, I get a very loud single beep, now the best way I can describe the beep is as an angry beep. Sounds stupid I know. Now when I look up the beep it seems that it could be a memory or cpu, the cpu beep is described as high/low siren, I don't really get that, but it is higher pitched then a normal beep. I have tried moveing the ram around and only putting one stick in. I have tried to clear the bios. It seems that something is not working right or incompatable. my money is on the ram,cpu,or motherboard. The sad thing is I cant really switch out any of those things. I have the feeling that it might be the cpu,but would like some feedback before I rma anything.
any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

not sure by which one do you mean

probably the first thing to get upgraded but should be compatable or am i missing something
There are several models "amd athlon 64 x2 4600 socket am2".
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&prod_no=1087&maincat_no=1#menu
Also i've asked to double check that you have 4600+ {and not 6400+, because 6400+ is not supported}.
Have you plugged CPU FAN in CPU-FAN connector to the mainboard? {Not in SYSFAN}

K9N4 SLI Vista Drivers

I was recently... Uh.. Well I guesse the word would be "Forced" to upgrade my Pc to Vista after my old operating System (Windows XP ME 2002 edition) was no longer supported by Microsoft and the zune software. Basically It bricked my original Zune. Now I have Vista and it isn't too horrible. Except the only problem I have is I cant get my USB ports to register anything. My Keyboard and Mouse work, they both have their own drivers. But I cannot get my PC to register my USB Keys, Webcams, or the zune itself. Maybe I missed something on the main site but I can't find the correct drivers for the main board it seems.
I appologize If I am missing something on the forums or the webpages already posted. Thanks in advance for your help!
Edit: Sorry I missed some data ^.^ The board I have is the K9N4-SLI Model MS-7325. Chipset nForce4, Southbridge nForce4.

You don't need drivers for usb ports.
But you do need drivers for devices.
Those are typical drivers from the manufacturers of the USB devices, like your webcam.
Has nothing to do with your board.

K9N4 SLI and Phenom

Hello,
I searched the forum to see if my K9N4 SLI (nForce 500 SLI) will support Phenom? Officially MSI says not.
If not, will the future AM2+ processors compatible? For example Athlon with Rana core or Phenom 9900?
K9N4 SLI had 4 or 8M?
Thanks!

"If not, will the future AM2+ processors compatible? For example Athlon with Rana core or Phenom 9900?"
Nop..
"K9N4 SLI had 4 or 8M?"
4
