REBRANDING?? I have different product than box says!! Neo4 or SLI Platinum!?

ok. I have been wondering now for a while why my SLI only works with one set of drivers (very old ones 66.77). I got to looking around and found a site http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/111 that introduced to me that there are a few different mainboards with very similar and in my case, contradicting names. There are 3, the K8N Diamond with SLI, the K8N Neo4 Platinum, and the K8N SLI Platinum. Well, I bought the K8N Neo4 SLI Platinum from newegg and it came in the box. Here is a picture of the box it came in:
It clearly says K8N Neo4/SLI on it. However, when I tried to update the BIOS to possibly fix the problem with the SLI 1 driver thing, I found out that I have the incorrect BIOS version. This version: W7100NMS v3. Here is a pic:
This made me wonder, because this is a 7100, and not the 7125 as MSI's website says a Neo4 Platinum SLI is. I mean, it says Platinum when in starts up:
So, I took a closer look and examined the mobo itself and found a little sticker on the mobo that says this:
This is the problem, because of these three sites http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/111, the board that I have is a combination of 2 of the boards.
The picture of my board and the features exactlly matches the K8N SLI Platinum on this site http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=641, HERE IS A PIC (LOOKS JUST LIKE MINE EXCEPT MINE HAS A STICKER THAT SAYS K8N NEO4 PLATINUM however the name of my board is a combination a few of the boards. (Namely this one (the neo4!!) http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=637.
This is crazy , so I don't know what happened here. I got the board I was supposed to get because it has SLI and all the other stuff, but it was listed under the name of neo4 platiunum SLI. Even the American MSI site has it named Neo4 Platinum/SLI here http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
Ok, so maybe the boxes can be used with both Neo4 Platinum and SLI Platinum? Maybe the sticker on my motherboard is wrong and that is causing all of the massive confusion for me?? MSI is still mislabeling the board in the bios section and on their american site, the tw site is fine I guess, just the name is not the same as mine.
Does anyone understand what I am saying? Can anyone make sense of what I am saying and find an answer? I still can't get SLI to work with anyhting other than v 66.77 drivers. :-(

Okay, maybe I'm just too tired, but I think you're confusing things in your own head a bit, to be honest.
The MS-7100 IS the Neo4 Platinum SLI.  It will have two x16 PCI-E slots and the SLI card in between them for setting the slots for x8/x8 in SLI mode, or x16/x1 for single graphic card mode.  The MS-7125 is the Neo4 Platinum, which I do believe is the NForce 4 Ultra chipset board.  It has one x16 slot, and if memory serves a x4 PCI-E slot, and one x1 PCI-E slots.  It's not an SLI board, the BIOS for the MSI Neo4 Platinum is NOT for the MSI Neo4 Platinum SLI.
From MSI's USA site:
K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI:  http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
K8N Neo 4 Platinum:  http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum&class=mb
Those are, best of my knowledge the two NForce 4 boards so far released for North America.
NOW, the K8N Diamond was released everywhere else other then North America.  It is the same board as the K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI except for some minor details.  I think there's a sideways blowing fan for the MOSFET heatsink near the CPU, the K8N Diamonds may (or may not) have came with a wi-fi card, and the K8N Diamond also includes a little card with log-on details for a forum only open to people who buy that board.  It's otherwise the same as a k8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI...I should know, I have a k8n Neo 4 Platinum SLI, and I put on a beta BIOS for a k8N Diamond, runs fine. 
As an aside, mine has a sticker for the name badge instead of being silk screened on also, right above the primary x16 PCI-E slot.  Never pulled mine off, but I wouldn't be shocked if it says K8N Diamond under it. 
Why they did a Diamond for the rest of the planet, K8N Neo 4 Platinum SLI for North America, I don't know...but I've seen that a lot with film cameras and some digital...a Canon EOS A2e in the USA is a Canon EOS 5 for the rest of the planet. If you go to Canon's online museuem, they show where they rebadge the same camera body for different nations...in some cases, you'll even see 3 rebadgings, a North American, an European one and an Asian one, all otherwise the same camera except for a minor feature. 
So anyway...never seen it with motherboards until now, but I guess they are starting to do the same, make variants of the same exact board for each major market.
EDIT:  Forgot to mention, but as I said, I also have your motherboard.  I'm using beta Graphics driver 71.20, got it from www.guru3d.com, and it works well for me.  Tried a couple others there, and they were iffy, so I'd suggest 71.20 personally.

  • BYOD Solution with different product than Cisco ISE

    Hello,
    Will it possible to make BYOD WiFi with different product than cisco ISE? such as Dell ClearPass or some sort of other product which does support Cisco WLC 5508.
    Regards,

    Sure it's possible... Dell resells Aruba's ClearPass, so really it's up to the vendor implementing ClearPass to understand what is possible or not. Both ISE and ClearPass does OnBoarding, which is used for BYOD. Both require licenses for this added feature also. There might be other ways to achieved BYOD, but it depends in what you want and what the product can do. 

  • Can we have different products between B2B and B2C

    Hi Experts,
          I have one basic question.  Can we maintain the different products between B2B and B2C users.  Because we have requirement is B2B users should get all the products, but B2C users should get limited products.  Is there way we can setup like this to meet the requirements.  Please let me know.  Thank you very much in advance.
    With Regards,
    Sudheer.

    You do this by creating two Product Catalogs (PCAT_B2C and PCAT_B2B, for example)  Then, in ShopAdmin you assign the B2C site to PCAT_B2C and the B2B to the PCAT_B2B.
    Another possibility, although not very user friendly is to use one PCAT and allow B2B users to add items to their cart directly, even thought they're not in the PCAT.  The drawback here is that they MUST know the exact number and they can not search for them.  I can give more info on this if you feel it might work for you, but it is not a very good option as a general rule.

  • Installed programs have different permissions than package

    I am using testing, so I installed the new kernel and nvidia driver today.  The directories in the kernel and nvidia packages are all 755.  However, when the package was installed and the new directories were created, the permissions were 2755.  This isn't a problem, but something is happening to cause the kernel to be installed with different folder permissions than are in the package.
    The kernel is the only package I am having this issue with.
    Edit:
    This only happened on one of my computers, and if I try to correct the permissions with chmod, nothing happens and the permissions remain the same...

    This happens to me on my workstation. Every PKG I install have that permission warning message, but my stuff still works... don't really care. Perhaps the dev can look into it when they have time.

  • HT1657 why does iTunes store have different content than AppleTV?

    I just tried to rent Ghostbusters on AppleTV and it isn't listed. But it is available on iTunes on my desktop computer. How do you sync these up?
    Thanks,
    Louise

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV allows you to choose a preferred resolution for your movies and TV shows. Depending on which resolution you have chosen, only those movies and TV shows available in that resolution will be available for purchase or rent. This will likely explain the differences that you see between the iTunes Store on your computer andthat on the Apple TV.

  • Infotype 0032 - why does 'create' have different fields than 'display'

    When I create an infotype 0032 record I get 1 field i.e. 'Previous Personnel No.'.
    When I go to overview mode there are many other fields i.e. 'Rule', 'Car Value', 'Plate No', 'Asset Number', etc.
    How do I maintain or change the entries for the fields in the overview screen, as these are only displayed in the overview screen and not in the 'change' or 'create' screens?

    You cannot edit in overview mode, if you are in PA30 then you will need to select one record and then click on edit icon to edit it. It always edita one record at a time.

  • Samples fall under a different category than production systems

    hi

    section "How to detect browser type and version from ADF Faces" (p. 22)
    Frank Nimphius writes
    "Ps.: I can almost hear John Stegeman, the Oracle ADF community expert I introduce in this month's OTN Harvest Spotlight, saying that System.out.println is not what I should be using, but AdfLogger. And right he is – however, samples fall under a different category than production systems. "
    Agreed, samples fall under a different category than production systems.
    But, sometimes I wonder if it justified for samples to be (much) different from a production system.
    First, there is not always such an explicit disclaimer on samples, to point out where significant differences are with a production system.
    Sure, that is where your own skills and experience come into play, but not everyone always recognizes all aspects that should be different for a production system.
    Second, why is it too much to bother to use an approach in a sample that can be in a production system?
    Could this be related to the complexity of the context (tools/framework/product) the sample is being created in? If so, maybe that context should improve.
    Sometimes, the simplicity of a solution a sample is intended to demonstrate, is lost when it is implemented in a production system.
    Maybe it is good practice when writing a sample, to ask the question : What should be different for a production system?
    Although, I currently don't have any good examples of such a "sample gap ", maybe I will update this forum thread if I bump into one.
    Any comments or examples are welcome.
    many thanks

    My idea was (and is) to be lenient on the System.out.println() example, because I would consider this a minor "sample gap".

  • Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened an

    Using Photoshop CS6 and after printing approx. 10 cards on an Epson R3000 printer the program gives me a dialog box saying "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."  Even after closing and reopening the program, the print command is greyed out so I cannot select any printer. This also happens with a Brother laser printer. Both printers will produce a test page out side of the Adobe product. Help!

    I cannot get any help either.  I get the message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."  I have reinstalled all drivers, powered off/on all printers (2 of them - a Brother HL - 4040cn and an Epson Stylus Pro 7890 - which all worked fine until this morning).  There appears to be no path to a solution.  I have read all the forums and tried about 20 different suggestions all to no avail.  Reboots, changing cables, reinstalling printers and drivers and Photoshop CS6 - ALL TO NO AVAIL.  On a macbook pro retina with 10.10.3.  This issue is out there and some get solutions - but not all - that's my crowd...the not all crowd.  I have yet to be able to print from CS6 any more.  This is a show stopper and my patience is wearing thin.  And I'm tired of stupid questions like "is your printer powered on?" give me a break.  This appears to be an adobe photoshop cs6 problem - as I can print from every other application.  Anyone have any ideas?  Adobe should have something?...

    Additionally, I have a separate subscription for Acrobat for a different user.
    I cannot see how I can activate the Acrobat licence separate to the Creative cloud licence. I understand that I can activate the Creative Cloud suite on two machines (one at work and one at home) When I then try to activate Acrobat only on a different machine, it tells me I have already activated on two machines and must re-set.
    I have the licencing for the two different products. How can I separate them?

    It is from a different computer and includes songs from CDs that I created different playlists and items I purchased from itunes. The original computer crashed and I was able to restore the songs to my new computer from the backup on another backup drive but not all of the songs synced to the new computer.  Now I have some songs on my iPhone that do not match the songs in my library on my new PC.  This happened once before but I cannot remember how I solved for it.
