Single Channel Dual Channel Question, K8N Neo4 Platinum

Just putting together a machine for the Daughter. Using MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum board 7125-010, MSI NX6600GT PCIE 128 Video card with AMD64 3700 CPU SD and a 1 GB stick of Crucial dual sided memory, CT12864Z40B, DDR 400 3200. The rest of my parts arrived and just got it all together and booted into the Bios. The boot screen tells me the memory is DDR Single Cannel, 64 bit running at 3-3-8-3 and 2T timings. I have been into the Bios setup, but had let the memory boot at Auto settings. Is what I am seeing on this screen OK because there is only one stick of memory installed? Or am I just confused as normal? I was thinking it should read Dual Channel, but I am hoping that is just my backwards thinking at times. I wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks in advance for the guidance.

JayBee; Thank you very much for the quick response. The Daughter decided to go with the 1GB stick to begin with so as to possibly add another 1GB stick later. I don't think she will need it myself, judging by her computer use. She does no gaming or multi-tasking, so there probably will be no need to add more memory in the future. I was just wondering if there is any noticable performance hit by using a single stick vs a pair of matched 512's?? I used the same MB as in my sig, but noticed the new one has an upgraded BIOS. I hope it is an improvement, because I have yet had no problems with my machine which has the V1.6 BIOS. This new one which is about 2 months newer than mine has a BIOS V1.A in the bios screen. At bootup it is identified as ( 6A61FM49C-OO ) what ever that means. I read the forum daily and have noticed you are very active and consice in helping folks out. I very much appreciate your time and effort that you give freely. Hope you have a very safe and happy holiday season and SANTA is very good to you. I think we as a group need to get SANTA up to speed on gift giving in the computer upgrade department.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum Dual/Single Channel issue

    Hey guys,
    Ive searched trough these forums, but i cant find the answer.
    I have a K8N Neo4 Platinum with a Corsair XL (TWINX1024-3200XL)1Gb Kit, and i just cant find how to run it Dual Channel, every time i boot it says Single Channel @ 201 MHZ..
    I am running a Athlon64 3700+ San Diego CPU
    Please help..
    Kind regards,

    thanx dudes,  a big  for the help!

  • HELP ! CPU question on MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI Motherboard

    Hello i've a simple Question : Does A64 3400+ S939 works on this board ?

    Hi douglasp,
    Things haven't changed since K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI + athlon 64 3400+ ????
    There is no AMD64 3400 939 CPU - see AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Model Numbers and Feature Comparison
    754 CPu are single channel compatable withK8N Neo Platinum
    939 CPu are Dual channel. compatable with K8N Neo4 Platinum
    as someone said in previous thread it's probably a misprint.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum LAN Question?

    I am thinking about using a K8N Neo4 Platinum in a new system build, but MSI has me confused.  Their website states the board and two (2) RJ45 Lan ports.  However, I downloaded and read through the manual, and it only shows one (1).  Anyone on the forum know which is true?

    Quote
    Their global site mentions only one LAN for the Platinium. So if you wait for two and you get only one they'll say it was..."optional".
    When I look at the global site, it states: "Supports Dual Lan Jacks" & list 2 different chips.
    Quote
    Mine has two. (Just arrived today.)
    Where did you buy your board?
    Does your manual match your board or show just one jack?
    Thanks for the response.

  • Will K8N Neo4 Platinum board be compatible with Dual AMD64?

    Only that because i´m thinking to buy one  with a 3000+ Venice and 2x512 Twinmos DDR400 ram modules.
    will K8N Neo4 Platinum board be compatible with Dual AMD64 (AMD64 X2)?

    Hey Guys,
    I fail to see the Logic in "don't buy dual core now... it’s too expensive… wait till the price drops in 2006." You don't HAVE to buy dual core... but since it's here... there really is no reason not to. You still need a processor now to get you through till 2006... So that means spending $300 (CND + Tax) on a 3200+ and then in 2006... Spending another 400 (maybe even 500) on a 4400+... so in the end you'll still have spent close to $800.
    By buy dual core now... you get to use it NOW!... so you also have to take that into consideration. I've already returned my San Diego 4000+ and waiting till June 12th for the 4400+ to get in stock. I don't think I’ve seen anyone in here using a dual core with the 1.4 BIOS, so I’m not sure if 1.4 will work at all... But everyone seems to be say that 1.5 will become official in early June... with dual core support and a VDIMM of up to 3.1v
    Just my $.02
    Point well taken, but add this, what is going to change between now and then? I like to set back read reviews and watch them work out the bugs before I buy. All to often we get burned buying to quick in the Pc Market. And last point "use it NOW" may I ask on what? Now I just through that in so give me some links to read, because iam not uptodate on Dual core except the price.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum as HTPC mobo questions

    I've been looking at building a Home Theater PC (HTPC) for a little while now and have been investigating various parts, including possible motherboards. The MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum is a key canidate and I was wondering if I could get some advice from people who actually use the board as to whether it would be suitable. Here is the basic run down of what I need:
    1) I have read that there are potential issues with the AMD 90nm cores. It seems a lot of people in the forum are running them though. Has the problem been cleared up with the latest BIOS? (I am looking at using at least a 3500+ Venice core, but might try to go a little higher).
    2) The board has a cooling fan on it, How loud is it? (The goal is to try and make the system as silent as possible without going over budget)
    3) Front side Firewire connector - it seems like its located between two PCI slots. Has this posed a problem?
    4) The PCI slot "reserved" as a comm slot - is it usable for other PCI devices? (One reason this board is on the short list is that it has 4 PCI slots. I plan on putting in at least 3 tuner cards, possibly 4 or using the 4th for a sound card or some other device. Thus, having this slot available as a general purpose PCI is important. Some retailers claim it is 'reserved' others don't.)
    Any other recommendations would also be appreciated. Especially as concerns silencing and processor choice.

    There were, make sure u get a E4 revision or higher. 99,9% of CPU's shipped today will have that.

    Very, I have the same fan. I run it at 5v, than it's OK, u can get an adapter in most PC shops. Getting a passive haetsink is also a possibility, but that will void your warrenty.

    3) Front side Firewire connector - it seems like its located between two PCI slots. Has this posed a problem?
    Dunno, Don't see why, make sure u get a HTPC with a front bracket with a FW port.

    See if this will fit in ur HTPC (the 80mil one)

    Underclocking and undervolting will also help keeping the CPU cool = less need for noisy fans.
    Be weary of components causing heat. Samsung HDD's are the coolest, use as many as the onboard stuff as possible, etc..
    Stick to 1 casefan and put it on the NB-FAN, so Corecenter or Speedfan can manage the fan speed. Recomended brands are Papst, Panaflo and Vantec Stealth.
    4GB limit is due to having a 32bit OS. With 32bits u can only adress a max of 3GB. It might work using XP 64-bit, but I don't see why a anyone would need it.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum (MS-7125) Mic Jack question

    I have a microphone i would like to use with my K8N Neo4 Platinum (MS-7125) and I was just wondering if the mic jack was powered or not because the microphone will not work.

    hey, i tired that before did'nt work but now it did. But there still is a problem with the mic, the recorded volume is way too low, even with mic boost on.

    SATA RAID setup
    When I installed my HDDs I mistakenly connected them to the SiL3114 SATA ports (SATA 5, 6, 7). I did not realize until later that the NVidia SATA ports offer better data transfer rates. I was initially upset but, based on posts in this forum, I did some research and found that the Seagate Barracuda drives I am using only support a data transfer rate of 150 mbps anyway. Now I am thinking that the way I set it up is a good thing - if I need to add HDD in the future I can add drives that support 300 mbps transfer rates. Is this correct?
    Device Drivers
    Device Manager indicates that I have driver errors associated with the "NVIDIA Network Bus Enumerator", "PCI Memory Controller", and "SM Bus Controller" devices. I haven't had any problems with my system or any of the programs I have run to date - but the unresolved device drivers make me nervous - like they are system problems waiting to be encountered.
    Again, based on posts in this forum, I attempted to reload the drivers using the CD that came with the motherboard - but that didn't resolved the problem. I also attempted to 'reinstall' the device drivers from within Device Manager. It found the drivers but displayed an "access denied" message when it attempted to install them (the account I'm using does have administrator access). Any ideas? Is it possible that I have something set incorrectly in the BIOS?
    Thanks!

    imjb,
    If you have a water pump that puts out 66gph, and you use a hose that has a max of 33gph, you will move 33gph of water. You take a hose the has a max of 66gph, you will move 66gph of water. You take a hose the has a max of 100gph, you will move 66gph of water. You take a hose the has a max of 133gph, you will move 66gph of water. You take a hose the has a max of 150gph, you will move 66gph of water. You take a hose the has a max of 300gph, you will move 66gph of water.
    You get my drift?
    Take Care,

  • New K8N Neo4 Platinum build. Help, Nforce4 driver question?

    I am building a new K8N Neo4 Platinum system (see my sig).  I wanted to get the latest Nforce4 drivers, before installing XP.  I noticed on the Nvidia website a 5.10 Unified Driver download and a 6.66 AMD download.  Which should I use?  It looks like the versions in the 5.10 Unified Driver are actually older than what is in the Nforce4 drivers, from the MSI site.  If I use the 6.66 AMD drivers, should I make a SATA Raid Driver floppy, from them, to use during the XP install?  Any advice is appreciated.

    just do it from a floppy, LiveUpdate is crap
    and yes you HAVE to F6  these drivers on Windows install  if you plan on using SATA or you cannot boot from SATA
    unfied drivers are NOT FOR NFORCE 4.  You MUST use the NF4-specific 6.66 (or earlier)
    Unified Drivers are specific only to nForce 1/2/3.  AMD and Intel each have specific and unique driver sets for nForce4.
    download 6.66, extract and explore the folder
    go to IDE->Win2K->SATARAID and copy everything in this folder to a floppy
    make two floppies just to be safe
    you cannot use CD, you MUST use floppy because Windows will look in a: only
    as soon as Windows install starts you will see a screen that says "Press F6 to install third party SCSI or RAID driver"... hit F6 and insert floppy and after a few minutes, you will get a screen that says"
    "Press S to install other drivers..."
    press S
    next screen comes up, first select and install "nVidida Raid class driver (required)" -->hit enter
    back to "Press S to install other drivers..." screen
    press S again
    screen wil come up again, this time choose and install ""nVidia nforce storage controller(required)"
    one more time back to "press S to instal other drivers...", this time just hit ENTER
    now you're good to go

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum question

    Hi.
    Does the K8N Neo4 Platinum support SATA2 3gb/s ?
    According to a online computer store it supports "SATA-II". Is that the same as SATA2 3gb/s ?
    edit: Im planning to use a SATA2 hard drive in my new computer, to be exact its Hitachi Deskstar T7K250.

    The only thing you have to do is enable the hitachi to function at sata2.  My 80gb's came with the default set at sata1.  I wrote about this a while back here:

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum Wont POST please help!!

    ok, i built this pc about a month ago. everything has worked perfectly until yesterday. When i turn the power on, al i get is the Platinum Screen. I cant go into Bios, i cant Post.. The PC beeps once like normal, and the LED on the Motherboard and the videocard come on. Ive tried wiping the CMOS, Tried a different PSU, tried removing one of the memory sticks. I tried just connecting the Mobo, video card and harddrive, to see if it want getting enough power. Heres what ive got:
    K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI
    Athlon 64 3500+
    Geforce 6800 Gt
    1 Gig corsair 3200 ram (2x512mb)
    550 watt PSU

    reset the bios, make sure its RESET.
    then, try with just 1 stick ram first.
    remember, to run dual for this board, it has to be Slot 1  &  Slot 2. 
    If u follow the color, it'll be single channel instead.
    Read also the instruction, it says never plug into 2nd or 4th slot with 1 stick ram.
    Try with 1 stick ram. if it boots, then insert the 2nd into Slot 2.  for dual channel.
    i had similar prob few days back when newly purchased.
    good luck !

    added in a sata 1TB seagate 7200, sata fails a majority of the time
    same symptons now persist as in original post.
    :< either bios detects both sata drives, neither, or it crashes. this happens respectively rarely, uncommon, and most common
    what ive tried:
    updated all mainboard, bios, video drivers to the most up to date (i had to in order for bios to detect the full size of the 1TB)
    no ide, same problems
    only 1 sata, with and without ide, same problems
    the sata only works after a long period of time (or randomly), that i dont use it
    (ive had both sata unplugged for 12 hours, booted up this morning with them and it detected, i selected safe mode boot, after making it through a majority of the load, it crashed)
    testing a new psu in a day or so, much more powerful. ill give you all my results.

  • MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI sound needs -5V; newest Antec 550W has no -5V rail

    I came within a whisker of ordering a non-returnable  3700 Venice, MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI mobo and an upgraded Power Supply, Antec's newest 550W PS the TP2-550 EPS12V ($117).  This has dual 2x24pin 12V 19A rails and is touted as the new V2.0 EPS12V/ATX12v compatible power supply for high performance SLI systems.  By accident I came across a page at MSI for this mobo
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=641
    At the end is this warning:  MSI Reminds You...
    • For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply. Also, the users manual which I downloaded on Pg 2-10 says the same thing
    The above Antec PS specs do not  show a -5V rail, nor does an Enermax 600W I looked at.  The V2.0 specs for ATX12v which added 2x24pin 12V rails dropped -5V rail from the spec and it appears MSI is not conforming to the spec (See Antec response at end) None of the web sites selling these PS & mobos contain any warning.  I vaguely recall from a forum a while back it may have something to do with the Soundblaster system in the mobo.
    http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22551 (click specifications)
    Isn't this a major showstopper which is going to cause a lot of grief for those of us upgrading to SLI systems using this mobo and upgrading our PS to the newest & best power design?  We won't know the PS won't work until we build the system.
    Regards, Ron
    Antec reply to me:
    >>>>Thanks for the link. Since MSI's website does state the motherboard needs the -5v, the True550EPS12V will not work with this motherboard. The Standard (http://enhanceusa.com/documents/atx12v_v2.01.pdf) has removed the use for the -5v rail and it is no longer needed. MSI has not manufactured that motherboard to the Standard. Finding an ATX12V v2.0 power supply with the -5v might be hard to find. You should contact MSI for a compatibility list of power supplys that were tested to work with the K8N SLI Platinum.

    Wow!!  syar2003 thanks for that post.  I've spend an hour going through it &  fasteddies links.  Now I are a power expert.  The dual rail argument is enough for me to go back to the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI with one of the single rail PS -5V units listed by fasteddie. The only question left now refers to computerpro3  recommendation on ultra power supplies for SLI 
    >>I quite simply wouldn't dream of putting anything else in my machine. Keep in mind, this section is for 2x 6800 models, not the 6600's which most any good psu will handle (like Antec Neopower, ocz 520, etc). . Pc Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe SLI edition (refer to list)
    2. Zippy/Emacs 550-700w models
    3. OCZ 600w (personally I would get the pcp&c for the price, but it's been proven here, so I'll be fair...). 
    These are really high end, expensive and only 3-4 choices. Since I'm getting one 6800GT and eventually another & possibly eventually a 4800 X2, I was hoping the OCZ 520W would do it but computerpro3 says Powermaster 520 isn't good enough for SLI.  I found that there is an OCZ 600W ATX12 dual rail which surprisingly has a -5V rail needed for K8N Neo4 SLI Soundblaster.  Will this meet computerpro3's preference for a high end PS for SLI systems even though I'm losing the 1 rail advantage.  Maybe the 600 Watts just overwhelms the 1 rail/2 rail question.
    Thanks again for the teriffic help
    Regards, Ron
    Wondering what you settled on.  I got the Antec TP550 and it's flawless on the board.  I even have the older 20pin model which works perfectly (including sound).  If you really wanted what I would consider to be a top dog (pcpower and cooling), and find the -5v rail missing, all you have to do is place a phone order and request they add a -5v rail.  It's a minimal cost and a total solution for having everything.  Just my $0.02

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum random lock-ups and BSOD

    I built a new PC about 3 months ago and from day 1 it has always locked up / frozen at random intervals. Sometimes it also BSOD's with a Machine Check Exception. Seems to lock up / freeze more often when have multifple windows open eg. Multiple IE running but really is random. I have replaced the Mobo and Ram but keep having the same issues. Have tried a clean install but no luck either. Did a clean install on an old IDE HDD and seemed fine but it did not have all of the software that I run on the SATA drive. Thinking the SATA drive may be the issue? Please Help!!!
    System is as follows:
    MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum [Bios 1.D]
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ DC [AMD Drivers]
    2 x Kingston 1024Mb ram [Dual Channel]

    Seemed fine?
    There isn't really be any difference between an IDE drive and a sata.
    Except that the sata drive needs some drivers as your installing the os.
    Check your ram timings in bios but likely it's your psu.
    Which components are on which rail?
    The ones that use the +12v are your cpu,cdrom,dvdrom and graphics card.
    Try disconnecting both roms and see if it improves things?

  • BSOD's on my x64 K8N Neo4 Platinum based PC, Any ideas what's wrong? Help!

    Over the past few month I've been getting BSOD's. There is no real pattern to their occurence and it's not something which is constantly happening (It happened around 5 times in the past 2 months), but I've really grown to hate them. You see, after getting one what has happened in the past is that when I go to restart my pc after getting a BSOD, I find I need to re-install my whole OS! What happens is that after booting (which oddly enough doesn't work well after a BSOD, It freezes on the boot screen and I need to restart several times), a black screen appears telling me that certain files in the C:Windows\ direcotory are corrupt or missing.
    So the real problem is that the BSOD's cause me to re-install my whole OS. One will happen, then it will be ok, I turn the system on, log into windows, then it might happen again, after which I'll need to re-install. The files that go missing are always different too, and when I run scan-disk (after plugging in my main drive into another computer) it finds corrupt files and deletes them.
    At first I thought it was Azureus (p2p client) which was causing the problems because it seemed to happen when I was runing that. I stopped using it, and the BSOD's still occured...sometimes randomly when browsing...etc. I figured that since files got deleted and corrpupted, it must be a problem withthe Hard Drive....So I bought a new one, and I've still had the BSOD error (although files haven't been deleted yet).
    So yeah, I really need to solve this problem as it is taking away from my productivity and causing me to re-install far too often. I will post the BSOD info as well as my system info below (and a screen shot):

I have had this PC before it started having these problems, it could be related to using x64 I guess, but the error doesn't show that does it?

    My OS and drivers are fully updated. As for my BIOS I've been running the version I'm using now forquite some time and I believe it is version 1.5. Also in another bad turn of events, my northbridge fan seems to be on its way out of this world (this just happned so I don't think its related to the BSOD). I haven't been able to find a replacement, and since its not spinning very fast, and sometimes stops...It's causing the heatsink to get quite hot. I need to get a new one, and I can't find them anywhere...I wonder if thats covered under warranty... I looked into getting a different heatsink, but my Graphics card is so colse to this heatsink, that theres no room for a bigger one at all.
    Do you think this problem is motherboard related, I cannot understand what the technical info the BSOD gives me means, can anybody understand it? I don't think its my HD's, or Ram, or CPU...could it be a motherboard problem? And if so, its under 1 year old, can I get an RMA?
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    At one time I had a weak 450w psu that had only 18a on the 12v rail.  When I overclocked my cpu and gpu, I was getting bsod's every once in a while and couldnt figure it out until I read a similar post like yours on this forum.  I decided to upgrade my psu and havent had that problem since.
    Power supplies can be deceiving.  I now have a 480w psu but its has 30a on the 12v rail.  So what we need to know is the ratings of your psu (see my sig) just to see if your psu is the culprit.  Just my 2 cents.
