PCI locks using neo4 Ultra

I would like to know in the BIOS where I turn  on and verify the PCI locks? Also which SATA ports are locked and does that need to be turned on as well?
Thanks

The problem lies in sata 1&2. by using 3&4 many people have resolved many conflicts .   The PCI bus is locked on both sides. There is a known issue with 1&2.
In my experince things have changed with the Neo4. I expected 3 and 4 to be locked and got textrure file errrors using 3dmark2001se, a sure sign of an overclocked disk. Using 1 and 2 now and had no such problem.

  • PCI and SATA locks on neo4 Ultra Board

    Where in the BIOS do I set the locks for the PCI bus and the SATA ports? And which SATA ports are locked?

    Quote from: MMAN on 15-February-05, 15:43:38
    1,2,3,AND 4 ARE ALL ON THE SAME CONTROLLER. 5AND 6 ARE ON THE SILICON IMAGE CONTROLLER.
    With the Neo2, only two are part of the chip, the other two require an external interface chip (note not an external controller). It's still a matter of debate if it's the 2 sata which use the interface chip, or those which don't, which are locked. Either way it's ports 3 and 4 which are locked on the Neo2.
    I expected the same with the Neo4, but found using 3 and 4 caused disk corruption when the FSB was increased, and shifting to  1 and 2 solved it.

  • K8n neo4-f v3.0 pci lock

    hi,
    ive never managed to overclock this board at all since the day i got it,the pci lock doesnt seem to function at all,my question is would there be any way to get it to work ? bios update/roll back(bios 5.3 atm) ? there must be something i can do,theres plenty of folk with this same board who have good overclocks going,please help or its bin the board time,my athlon64 4000+ is getting a little dated so id like to give it a kick before i take the plunge and upgrade

    good news to report
    it seems like it was the kingston ram causing the ineffective pci lock on the msi k8n neo4-f i have,ive swapped it for 4x512 corsair xms and now have my 4000+ at 2750mhz im well pleased,i thought i was going to have to ditch this board,it can go higher but ive only a zalman cooler so i didnt want to take it up too far on just air,settings are:
    cpu clock-2750mhz
    fsb-250mhz
    cpu multi-11x
    htt-x4 1000mhz
    ram-196.4mhz
    ram timings-2.5.3.3.7
    temps- idle 32 degrees,max load 45 degrees
    i did have it at 2880mhz with no extra voltage but wouldnt boot to windows,i dare say if id pumped some more juice thru it i couldve got it stable but didnt want to risk it with only the zalman for cooling.

  • Does MSI K8N NEO 4 have (agp)/PCI lock?

    hi.    yeah, Does MSI K8N NEO 4 have (agp)/PCI lock? I saw only the PCI-E lock (100MHz)

  • PT880 and AGP/PCI Lock---is this it??

    Have visited Viarenea and others----supposedly Via has instituted an AGP/PCI Lock for the first time on their chipsets and the PT880 board is the first to have it.
    I found this in the Manual----Frequency/Voltage controls in Bios:
    Page 3-28
    AGP Frequency
    This item is used to configure the AGP frequency. Settings: From 66.9 to
    100.9 at 1 increment.
    Am not sure----but I believe this setting to be the long absent AGP/PCI lock setting that Via was notorious for NOT having----but supposedly fixed with this chipset.
    This sounds very similar to Bios settings on various NForce2 boards that DOES lock the AGP/PCI bus
    Anybody know anything about this?
    Basically, an AGP/PCI lock is ESSENTIAL for any kind of serious overclocks.
    Thanks----John

    You are Absolutely Correct "johnrr6", This is VIA's new AGP/PCI Bus Lock/Divider .....And it is About Time!!!..........Sean REILLY875

  • Fsb problem with Neo4 Ultra

    I have been having a problem with my neo4 ultra that seems to be pretty common.
    I can not boot past a fsb of 219 reliably.
    My system is
    AMD64 3200+
    MSI K8N Neo4 nForce4 Ultra
    Wavemaster Case
    OCZ Gold Series Dual 1GB DDR PC-3200
    Thermalright XP-90
    OCZ ModStream 520W
    Sapphire Radeon X800 XL
    I am doing it all with clockgen to up my FSB to find the best results. I am on 1.24 BIOS
    My Basic BIOS settings are
    FSB = 219
    HTT = 4x
    Mem at 166 Voltage at 2.85
    Mem Timmings at 2.5-3-2-8 1T
    CPU 10x startup - cpu-z reports voltage at 1.58
    Rasied FSB by 5 at a time to 251 and super pi failed.
    Changed vcore to 1.60 and the best I could get super pi to run at was 247. So I decided to start fine tunning my memory.
    I set mem to 180 2.5-3-3-10-1T
    Used clockgen again and what was interesting was FSB of 255 passed with a superpi of 34 sec. Now it failed at fsb258.
    Changed mem timmings to 200 2.5-3-3-10-1T
    And best I could get was fsb=230 and superpi failed. I decided to keet the 180 divider and see how far I can drop the timming at 180.
    So I ended up at this
    FSB =251
    HTT 4x
    Mem 180 2-3-2-8 1T volts = 2.85
    CPU 10x Volts cpu-z reports 1.63
    Runs prime stable all night at these settings.
    But here is the thing if I go into the BIOS and change fsb to 221 My machine will not boot.
    I am guessing the power up sequence is wrong in the BIOS

    I cannot boot at over FSB 219, either. Will overclock fine with Clockgen when in XP (have tried up to 270 fsb, and the CPU will run 2574mhz at 1.5). But have to reset bios if I set the FSB over 219, regardless of memory HTT, vcore, etc , settings. I've been watching other forums and have seen MANY people with the same problem. One of the things I have in common with a lot of other people with this problem is that my Winnie 3500+ Retail will not run much over stock with the low vcore that this board gives as default. I have used Core Center, Sisoft Sandra 2005, and CPUz 1.27 to check vcore once in windows. All of them show 1.36 for vcore. That's lower than default of 1.4. And when I set the vcore for 1.55 and the overvoltage thingy to highest percentage in bios, all the monitoring apps show 1.526, which is waaay lower than it should be (1.67). Now, I will concede that the monitoring apps could be wrong. But, I believe the 219mhz POST issue is due to the start up vcore and multiplier is PROBABLY default at post. So, if your FSB is set for more than the CPU will run at it's default vcore and multiplie + set FSB, then the board freezies at POST. If the bios would just boot at whatever you set into the bios, then there wouldn't be a problem, unless yoiu have set thingswaay too high. Then it would just do what it does now, not POST, and you would have to reset the bios. There are a lot of Winchester core CPU's out there that will run high mhz at default voltages. But, there are a lot of newer Winnie's that won't. Mine is one of them.
    Now it seems that there is a limitation on the board of 1.55 vcore with a Winnie. Even using the overvoltage setting. What is that all about? You put overclocking friendly on the retail box, on the product page on the main site, and all the review sites say overclocking potential is graet, and then you limit the vcore to 1.5v? Crazy logic (or should I say "Fuzzy Logic")   I am close to eBaying this board (only had it 2 - 3 days, but won't send it back to ZZF for replacement as all of them could have the same problem) and go with the DFI or the Abit Fatality.
    Am I saying all this right?

    Hi,
    I am trying to install GeIL low latency memory CL=1.5 to Neo4 Ultra (Platinum) (7125). Is there a bios that supports Tcl 1.5 ?
    Any mod bios that support tihs ? Anyone ? Link ?
    Please help, can't wait to test it to 1.5, I waited long to get this limited edition... So far A64 tweaker is doing fine, but I would like to use BIOS. DFI LanParty support Tcl=1 and 1.5.

    Its becuase you have a RAID 0 on the NVidia SATA ports, there is a bug that stops the system from restarting. Use the silicon image for now untill its fixed.

    very nice CPU. overclocks great. i know this thing can do more...but not being able to change the ram voltage in the bios (everytime i do, it reverts back to 2.6) stops me at 180.

  • Is there any known issue about mutex lock used in JNI on Solaris 10?

    Dear Oracle,
    I'm facing a strange behavior when running a JNI application that use the mutex lock. The application hanged after running for a while on one of our Solaris 10 machines. After investigating the stack trace of the application, it shows that one of all the application's threads that access the JNI hold the mutex lock forever, and that cause the other threads cannot access the JNI. The same application works fine on other Solaris 10 machines.
    The mutex function I used as show below:
    mutex_lock(&mutex)
    The application hanged at this line:
    0xff2cc940 ___lwp_mutex_timedlock + 0x8
    The Kernel version is SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-14
    Since this issue occurrs on only one Solaris 10 machine in our environment, we are wondering if there is any known issue regarding the mutex lock used in JNI on Solaris 10. We tried to search the Internet and the Java Bug database but found nothing related to this issue.
    Best regards,
    Krit K.

    Different environments mean just that. So something could be causing it outside java.
    Additionally if anything at all is different in the execution data, such as even a name having a different size, then it would change the execution path.
    Which would cause a problem in the JNI code to manifest itself on only one box. Probably isn't a pointer bug but all sorts of odd behavior can result from that.

  • Neo4 Ultra Plat. / Opty 175 / Corecenter 2.0.2.1 errors on boot :(

     Heya., Been running my Neo4 Ultra Plat. since they first came out. This is a PCB v1.0. Thought i'd pop a Opty 175 in it and test drive it. It's running the latest 1D bios and all the most recent drivers. It's really odd Corecenter installs fine and runs ok but soon as I reboot if fails at life during system boot. Maybe 1 outta 10 times it won't error. Once it errors it just refuses to run period. So for fun I wrote a .exe to exec CoreCenter 60secs later on start to let everything else finish loading but with still the same problems. Is this latest CoreCenter compatible with DualCore procs. ?

    It is running the newest AMD DC drivers. The CoreCenter is this one:
     MSI Core Center      ReleaseDate:     2006-11-22

  • Record Locking using EJB

    Hi,
    Can anyone please explain me how to achieve Oracle Row level record locking using Enterprise Java Bean ?
    Thanks for the time.

    It depends upon your container and your container-specific deployment settings. In Weblogic, you can specify database-based pessimistic locking which causes the CMP entity to hold a row-lock on load() until it is comitted or rolled back.

  • Cross System Lock using for roles?

    Hi everybody,
    maybe one of you can support me or have some experiences in case of using the Cross System Lock. We are checking the possibilty to implement the Cross System Lock (using in ChaRM, Scenario E (/TMWFLOW/Config_Lock).
    First of all, we made a successful test in usage of table content.
    Example:
    You save a table modification in a Transport Request generated in ChaRM. Thus, the Transport Request is buffered in a Change Document. The result is that the table modification is locked in the object-monitor (/TMWFLOW/LOCKMON).
    However, you save a role (pfcg) in a Transport Request generated in ChaRM the included objects in this role are not buffered in the object-monitor (/TMWFLOW/LOCKMON)
    Thanks for your answers!
    Best regards
    Joachim Eichner

    If you use the report TMW_TRKORR_LOCK_UPDATE against the role transport after saving your changes in it, this will register the role objects in the CSOL.
    The Role transport tool does not automatically trigger the FM that registers the objects in the CSOL, just like manually adding objects to a transport doesn't trigger it. Therefore the workaround is to run this report. Only the transport owner is allowed to run TMW_TRKORR_LOCK_UPDATE.
    In our experience it is not that CSOL does not support roles and authorizations; for the purpose of retrofit, it is able to detect conflicts reliably if the report is run consistently after saving role changes to transport. If no conflicts exists, auto-import works fine. If conflicts exist, then roles must be manually retrofitted.

  • Folder Locking using java

    Hi All,
    I want to implement the folder locking using java.But i can't find any method to implement my requirement. I find one method to lock a file using FileChannelObject.tryLock() or FileChannelObject.lock() methods of FileLock class. But the main problem is that FileChannel object is coming through only by calling getChannel() method on a RandomAccessFile object or FileInputStream object only.
    If i want to lock a folder i am not able to create the lock on it. So please provide me any example to create a lock on  a directory.
    Thanks in advance.

    JNI isn't magic. It can only call the operating system. The question is, is there really an operating system API that would let you do it.?

  • Database locking using JSP and Oracle database

    Dear All
    I am reading about how to do database locking in general and i want to implement these mechanisms using JSP pages and oracle database, but i have the following questions:-
    1.If i write a “select for update” quesry in the JSP page will it locks the record ? or it will not lock the record because the connection between the JSP pages and the server will be stateless in most online systems?
    2.If i write all my jave code in transaction , something like this:-
    • Begin transaction
    • Commit or
    • Rollback
    Then should i be worried about the locking issues or the database manger will handle the locking mechanisms to insure data integrity(and what the default mechanism (if any) that the oracle database manger use to do the locking)?
    3. If the answer for question 2 is no, then how can i handle the optimistic and the pentemistic locking using JSP pages?
    BR

    One way to solve this issue is as follows:
    * You add a new column to each database table called 'version' which is of int type.
    * Each time you alter any field in a record, you increament the version number.
    * When you read a record and display it, you store the version number in your code
    * when you go to update the record, you write your sql something like this:
    update person set firstName=? where personId=? and version=?
    Where the version is whatever you stored locally. If someone altered the record in the database while your
    end user was looking at it, the version numbers will not match and the sql statement will
    return zero as the number of records it altered. If its zero, inform the end user someone altered the record
    while he was looking at it and weather or not he wants to proceed.
    The chances of two people altering the same record in a table while both are logged in and viewing the same set of data is small so such collisions will be few.
    You only need transactions if you are updating more than one record at a time (in the same table or multiple tables).
    You dont need it for reading records if you use a single sql statement to read (for example: to join multiple tables).
    In general, you get a (pooled) connection, use it, and close it as quickly as possible in a try/catch/finally block. You dont hold onto it for the duration of the user's session. A book on JDBC should help clarify this.

Maybe you are looking for
