SATA frequency locked?

What SATA ports are frequency locked on the K8N SLI Platinum? are all? just wondering since I will soon run with overclock and SATA drives.

All four nvidia chipset integrated is okay on NF4 as they don't use the bridge function from chipset as NF3 used to the external marvell PHY .
On NF4 all four use the NF4 chipsets PHY .
It's the marvell phy on NF3 that doesn't lock . It scales with HTT .
Ah, that explains why some boards do not have all Sata locked. Thank you for the info.

Article says K8N Neo has SATA frequency locking problem

This article says that the K8N Neo has SATA frequency locking problems when overclocking:
http://www.nforcershq.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1801
First of all, is this true?
And if it is true, do we have a BIOS that fixed this problem.
My drives are PATA right now so I currently don't have any problems but I plan to get SATA drives/adapters soon.
I'm running 240 HTT (1:1) so not having the SATA frequency locked could be an issue.

Well, I´m running HTT 230 now, and I´m always using my Raptor as OS disk. Haven´t had any problems yet (with my disk). It´s connected to s-ata_1. Haven´t tried the other ones.
But sometimes when I boot (200 or 230HTT, doesn´t matter) I get artifacts on the boot screen and in Windows, so I have to restart.
Could it be a partially working AGP-lock? It seems as at works most of the time, but sometimes not... Strange... AGP is set to 66-67MHz

PCIE frequency locked on K9N2G Neo?

Board: K9N2G Neo (MCP78-S/nvidia 8200 chipset)
Bios: AMI v1.1
CPU: AMD X2 6000+
Hi!
I am just about to try a bit of overclocking. There is no option in my bios regarding locking PCIE frequency.
It could be locked automatically, I just want to make sure.
I tried several programs to read out the PCIE bus speed, like Everest, Sandra but they did not show it.

Yes, it should be locked by default.

how can i lock the agp/pci frequency at 33 mhz when i overclock p4 1.8a to 2.4 at fsb=133 and vcore at 1.425.... because windows xp can't start up . it keeps rebooting the pc ,,, please help
i have msi 645 ultra ddr333 ms-6547 mobo

That board and chip really only supports 100fsb :D
anything over and its overclocked!!!!! ;(
there is no stuff in tha bios to lock agp or pci ;(
Most people think overclocking is ok ?( Just buy faster next Time 8o 8o

CPu ratio and frequency locked

Hey,
I have latest version of BIos and I can't adjust CPU frequency or ratio, there are no brackets around auto. I have Turned off OC genie, removed CMOS battery, loaded default BIOS, and all the same.

DRAM frequency locked?

I purchased a pair of kingston hyperx 3000 with hopes of a high 1:1 overclock but to my dismay, when i choose ddr400 it still says ddr333 i a greyed-out area below Also when i use cpu-z it always says the ratio is 5:4. Because of this (i think) my sandra memory bandwidth is only a little over 4000. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Do you really mean 4000? Do you have voltage set to 2.7 or 2.8?

875p, I CANT LOCK my PCI / AGP Frequency using FAST,TURBO, or ULTRA

i have an 875p neo. i am one setting away from loving this mainboard(finally). i have a 2.8ghz running at 3.0 (with a 1:1 FSB/RAM). i can run stable in TURBO MODE, with "timings by SPD". i am using 1.7 bios (1.8 gives me lower performance). i tried all the bios from 1.4 and up. my problem is I CANT LOCK MY AGP/PCI frequency. no matter what, it boots up in windows as 70/35, but only when using FAST,TURBO,or ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODE. my agp/pci frequency locks fine at 66/33(67/34) if i run in SLOW MODE, but any other performance mode setting overclocks the AGP PCI frequency to 70/35. this causes my ATI 9700np to freeze almost instantly while playing any game. luckily my ATI card has unlocked bios or the problem would be worst. i have been using CLOCKGEN to throw the settings back to 66/33 when windows loads, and i get no freezes. BUT I WANT A PERMANENT FIX MSI. not a CLOCKGEN patch. my question to you all out there:
IS THERE A particular BIOS THAT I CAN USE THAT will LOCK THE PCI/AGP FReQUENCY while using FAST,TURBO, and ULTRA PERFORMANCE MODES? or another way to lock the setting in the bios?any suggestions? thanks
EDIT 2:
i just remembered, i forgot to tell you all. my agp/pci lock works fine if i run my ram in 333mhz mode. i have 400mhz ram. i was a running 1:1 ratio. agp/pci doesnt lock only if i use "auto" or "400mhz" settings. it run fine when i have my ram set to run at 333mhz. are you runnig at 400mhz or 333mhz? if 333mhz i can see why i left you guys confused...sorry.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MY FIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL I GUESS WE HAVE TO USE THE GHETTO FIX FOR NOW:
(i am assumming this is an ATI CARD only PROBLEM)
download clockgen and install it. check your AGP/PCI frequency. if it reads 70/35 then you have a problem, which will cause your ATI card to freeze up during a period of use.
unlock your cards bios(if it's not already unlocked). this will allow room for the 70/35 AGP/PCI frequency overclock. get info from rage3d.com forum on how to unlock your ATI card.
make your clockgen settings startup when windows boot, @***ghz, 66/33 agp/pci(read the clockgen instructions on how to run clockgen on boot)
download radclocker and install it.
set the AGP core/mem clock speeds to what you desire. then bump down the core TWO NOTCHES, then the memory down TWO NOTCHES then click "use current" bios button. 70/35 boot overclock pushes your ATI core/memory up two notches, so by setting radclocker 2 notches , radclocker takes the 70/35overclock two nothes lower. you have your desired speed. then clockgen throws your agp/pci frequency back to 66/33....which makes everything work right. it all boots in the right order for me.
explaination:
when windows starts it boots your agp/pci frequency@ 70/35. you need to be at 66/33 AGP/pci frequency for your ati card to run correct and not lock up after intense gameplay. radclocker underclock your card.clockgen puts your agp/pci to 66/33 AGP/PCI frequency.

How to lock sampling frequency for 5673 and 5663

Hello,
In general I'm trying to lock transmitter and receiver together. It seems easy to lock the carrier frequency, however no matter what I do, I seem to have a drift in my sampling frequency (on the order of 1ppm).
Is the sampling clock in the 5663 digitizer tied to the same clock reference as the LO? ... I didn't think I would need the TClk mechanism here since I don't care about delay ...
Any thoughts are greatly apreciated. Below are a few specifics.
I'm using the 5673 as transitter and 5663 as receiver. I've noticed the folowing:
1. When each are using a 'Reference Clock Source' = OnboardClock I have a noticeable carrier offset at the receiver (eg 5.8 GHz carrier has ~7 KHz offset) and this is fine.
2. When each are using a 'Reference Clock Source' = PXI Clock, with the chassis physically tied, I see no noticeable carrier offset at the receiver.
3. When 5673 is using 'Reference Clock Source' = OnboardClock, 5663 using 'Reference Clock Source' = ClkIn (ClkIn/Out physically tied), I see no noticeable carrier offset at the receiver.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Clayton,
The digitizer sample clock time base source is different from the Reference Clock source. I've copied a description below of the difference between the two from the digitizers help.
Clocking:Reference (Input) Clock Source:
Specifies the input source for the PLL reference clock.
Clocking: Sample Clock Timebase Source:
Specifies the source of the sample clock timebase, which is the timebase used to control waveform sampling.
Yes, the default configuration of the NI 5663 is for the NI 5652 to export its internal 10 MHz reference to the NI 5622 so that the NI 5622 and the NI 5652 devices are frequency-locked. The NI 5663 can also be configured to lock to an external (10MHz only) reference source. The NI 5663 can also be configured to lock to the PXI 10 MHz backplane clock. Locking to the PXI 10 MHz reference does not require a cable, but this configuration does not provide the same frequency and phase noise performance as the NI 5652 internal Reference clock. All of this information is provided in detail in the NI RF VSA Help. See the directory below:

Sata controller 3 and 4 when RAID-0

Hi
Everybody is sayning you should use SATA 3 and 4 when RAIDing.
Why is that?
I am using 1 and 2 whitout prolems!

so can i use sata1 or sata2 safely without any problem if i don;'t intend to overclock my system at all??
Yes

Phase Locking the Up and Down Converter Modules

I am interested in phase locking the 5660 and 5670 modules, but from what I understand...this might not exactly be possible.
Using the 10MHz references...it seems that I can frequency lock the two together (i.e. - I can eliminate any phase error due to the two LO's drifting away from each other). However...am I correct in assuming that there is no way to actually access the individual oscillators such that I can remove the phase difference between them?
For example...if I want to measure the phase added by a DUT....I would have to measure the phase without the DUT...then meausre the phase with the DUT...then look at the relative difference in the two phase measurements (as calculated from the IQ samples). However, if I were to repeat this measurement by first measuring the phase without the DUT....then turn the generator off...then back on again....then measure the phase with the DUT...I'd expect to get a different answer, since by turning the device on and off, I have no idea or control over the phase relationship between the two devices.
Is this correct?
Finally...does simply connecting say, the 10MHz Out of the upconverter, to the Freq Ref IN of the downconverter automatically frequency lock the two together...or do I have to go into LabView and programatically tell the things which reference to use?
Thanks!
Brandon

Hi Brandon,
You are correct in what you are saying. The PXI-5600 and PXI-5610 Down/Upconverters each have their own synthesizers internally generating the LO signals for the mixers inside, and these LO signals cannot be exported from the modules. For these modules to be phase locked, they would need to share the same LO signals.
By sharing the 10 MHz reference you can achieve frequency lock where the phase difference between the two modules will stabilize, but the phase difference will not be zero - it will be some unpredictable phase offset which will not be increasing or decreasing (i.e. frequency lock). Whenever the 5600 or 5610 is retuned, the phase difference will also be different.
With regards to the 10 MHz signal, both use the same component for the reference so it doesn't matter which module you lock to the other as they are equivalent in quality. You do need to make a call in software to lock the destination module to the source module. If you are driving the PXI backplane with the source module, you'll also have to make a SW call to do this. This is very easy though, just look for VIs called Configure Reference Clock or something similar.

Ios6 has stopped my sat nav working

Have been using tomtom satnav cradle, navfree for weeks, updated to ios6 and I can no longer get sat nav lock unless stationary. Tried my bro's iPod in running ios5 and it work fine. Think I may downgrade to ios5.

Sometimes this works for accessories that do not work after an iiOS update. However, sometimes tha iOS update breakes compatibility.
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Going to TomTom's support site might provide information if other users are having the problem..

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)

the neo4 does not have AGP.
No, I know it. "( )"

okej, thank you. I feel me safe now :D

MSI K8NM - Anyone? Any info?

I've been looking for a decent µATX mobo for A64 for a while and the only feature I'm looking for is overclocking. Today most mobos have such high standard that I've realized that they all are enough for me since I don't need 6x SATA, RAID, or FireWire.
The MSI K8NM is the only one that got frequency locked AGP/PCI. It looks good, it got big heatsinks on the power regulartors and the latest BIOS have these updates:
- Support FSB to 450MHz.
- Fixed K8 MOBILE CPU ratio cannot adjust
Both sounds good to me, but you never know the real performance until you've tried. There are modded BIOS available though (found here, lots of modded MSI BIOS). I don't expect it to be as good as the K8N NP, though it might be really good since I haven't read anything about the K8NM.
Does anybody know anything about this one? I've checked many forums but haven't seen anything... except for pretty high user ratings (K8NM-FISR, with Gigabit LAN) (K8NM-ILSR, with 100 Megabit LAN) at nForcershq.com
Can you recommend any other overclocking µATX S754/S939 mobo?
I know that ATI mobos are starting to show up but they got PCIE...
Thanks!

K8N Neo3-F OC Question

does K8N Neo3-F have an AGP frequency lock option in the bios? is this mobo overclockable? my current mobo sucks...

Quote from: zelix on 13-January-07, 09:23:02
i also have that mobo. about the agp clock you cannot adjust it because the agr only uses the pci. if you have the new pcb you need to get a modded bios of the 1.0 ver to get your fsb over 300. i got mine @ 341fsb.
very nice actually its mix between 1.0 & 1.4 version.
also you can pickup SATA RAID drivers which works for that BIOS version from attachment. MSI or Nvidia latest SATA RAID Drivers do not work with old BIOS version due different SATA ROM in BIOS revision.

Just got my RMAed MB(K8T NEO2-F) back GOING GOOD@264FSB

CAN SOME PLEASE HELP!!!! I sent my old MB (K8T NEO2-F) in because I could not get the MB to reboot into Windows after setting AGP Frequency to 66Mhz. So now I just put the system back together with the MB they sent me and was going to try and OC this 3200+ I have but I put the AGP Frequency to 66Mhz and it would not boot into windows still. Am i missing something here or what? I am supposed to set the AGP Frequenct to 66Mhz to keep my SATA Raid locked right? There are 3 settings 1-Sync with CPU 2-66Mhz and 3-75.4Mhz. Now how can I OC this board this way? That is what I'm supposed to use to lock it right? Is there a special way I'm supposed to do it? I just went in and disabled spread spectrum set FSB to 210 set AGP Frequency to 66Mhz Lowered HHT from 1000 to 800 then saved and it didn't reboot. So I reset the BIOS went in set spread spectrum to disabled set FSB to 215 and set HTT from 1000 to 800 saved and it booted into windows. So the 66Mhz isn't letting this MB boot either. Plus for the CPU VCORE it is set on AUTO and there are no other settings except for AUTO for it.

Guys that is way outdated info on those links and not for this board with the newer CPU's Ignore it.
The K8T800 is a socket 754 board and has no AGP locking. This can't be fixed as Via has an issue with that chipset and that is where the problem is not in the Bios.
The K8T800 Pro is the socket 939 board but you must use 9.x for any of the newer CPUs beyond Clawhammers, Newcastles and Winchesters. These have locking that works and can be confirmed. However there has been a couple reports of ATi cards that don't lock using this board.
The X2's and the Opties must use socket 9.3 to operate correctly.
There have been a couple folks now with ATi 9xxx cards that have reported troubles with the locking on the Neo2 boards. No idea what will fix it as there was never enough complaints to isolate the problems and I am still trying to gather enough data on it. Some ATi 9xxx cards work and some don't I do not have enough info to check further.
The only thing I can tell you is to report the issue to MSI who may or may not be able to sort it out. Again there is very little info on this particular problem.
There are no modded Bios's for that board that I have found. Yes I looked. I am not sure a modded Bios would solve this anyways unless there was more info on what the cause is. You need to know more than one or two cards won't lock. Most cards do lock and everything is fine. So there has to be something odd about those cards that don't that is different from the rest that causes this. However I don't have that info so even passing this on helps veryu little.
I am still gathering data but as there are fewer and fewer folks that have the right combo of parts that show the problem there is likely not going to be enough data to finds the problem.
