Speedfan and PT8 Neo-v board

I have a PT8 neo-v board with a pentium 4 2.8 (800) processor and 512MB ram for which I am trying to use Speedfan to control the speed of the CPU fan. I have set speedfan up as instructed and it shows the speed percentage altering correctly as the CPU temperature changes but the fan speed does not change and is always the same at approximately 2200 RPM. I have no other fan connected to the board so it must be reading the CPU fan speed.
Does the board require any modifications in the bios to allow speedfan to alter the CPU fan speed or does this board not allow any alterations of the CPU fan speed?
I have a power supply that is rated at 30 amps on the 12 volt line but I noticed that the temperature graph on speedfan would suddenly drop by 5 degrees and then return immediately to the previous level. I logged the voltages, fan speed against the CPU temperature but there was no alterations in these when the temperature dropped. I am wondering wether to return this board for another make of board as I also have problems running the ram at DDR333 and these problems may be related to each other.

Hi,
The 865PE Neo2-P Platinum Edition, is a great mainboard, slightly dearer than the PT8

Quite a few people have upgraded to this mainboard from the PT8** series mainboard, the setup is easier.

PT8 Neo-LSR board support

Does the PT8 Neo-LSR motherboard support Intel Celeron 1.8Ghz Processors?

Only Northwood's according to this page

PT8-Neo LSR and Radeon 9700pro

Ok so I bought my new MSI board for my 2nd PC and happily installed the P4 2.4 cpu (northwood 533fsb non-ht, this is my 2nd box after all) and 1gb ram.
Placed in the Radeon 9700Pro (with Arctic Cooling vga silencer) and everything worked great.. in fact I was very impressed with the performance.
Then this morning, I succumbed to the bright idea of .. hey I wonder if there are any updates for the bios or drivers? ( ) So installed Liveupdate 3 that came with the board, and after it had run and repatched itself twice it told me, your bios is out of date.. here's ver 2.00..
So I downloaded it, made the dos floppy, and flashed the bios (a procedure I've done many times over the years) and set the new bios up.. win2k booted fine, and everything was great until... I opened internet explorer, and the radeon promptly crashed, the ATI software recovered it, but everytime I tried anything remotely concerning graphics, the Radeon crashed. This espicially happened with anything 3D of course, but also would happen frequently with 2D gfx also.
To cut a long story short, after experimenting (like all damn day ) with every bios for the PT8 Neo-LSR available, it seems that version 1.1 is the ONLY bios for the board which supports the Radeon 9700pro card under win2k at least. Or rather the only version that works for me and allows me to run games and stuff without Radeon stopping responding.
System isn't overclocked, and neither is the Radeon btw.. so I think I have the system working again now with v1.1 of the bios, but I haven't tested it a lot yet.. but at least it loads the radeon screen savers without crashing so far.

Yeah..
system is as follows..
Msi PT8-Neo LSR
Pentium 4 2.4C 533fsb (non-ht)
1gb 266 ddr ram (2x 512mb)
Connect 3D radeon 9700pro 128mb (Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer in perma High mode)
Creative SBLive value!
IBM Deskstar 60gb ide1 master
Seagate Barracuda 30Gb ide1 slave
Plextor cd writer ide2 master
Seagate Barracuda 80Gb sata 1
I think the idea mentioned before might be worth a shot... I can feel a full install of windows coming on.. more self torture
Edit
Yes, during the course of the day I did install the latest ati catalyst drivers and dx9 also..

Neo-F board and RAM

Are the RAM and CPU "linked" on the Neo-F board? By which I mean if I OC the CPU, does it push the RAM as well? If so, how do I "un-link" them so I can OC just the CPU? I assume it would be somewhere in the BIOS, but cannot find it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info!
If the DRAM frequency is changed, can the CPU FSB be increased beyond 333MHz without OC-ing the memory?
It depends on what frequencies are available in the BIOS. Anything lower than 1:1 would allow that, such as 4:5.

Problem with PT8 NEO Y VGA ATI SAPHIRE 9250SE

problem with PT8 NEO Y VGA ATI SAPHIRE 9250SE

From the VGA test report: http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/6799/vga.pdf for the board , i can't find ATI Radeon 9250SE , but it is obvious that MSI only tested their Nvidia cards and no ATI cards. So, you'd better to try Nvidia cards or contact your VGA vendor to ask if there is the latest VGA BIOS to solve your issue.
Anyway, remember to tell us the results .

PT8 Neo limited overclocking?

Recently I bought the MSI PT8 Neo, I needed SATA and wanted FSB 800 so I could overclock my good old 1.6GHZ Northwood.
This was a bit of a bummer, the board doesn't allow me to overclock more then FSB 132. The problem is the bios detect it's a FSB 100 CPU and because of that the bios locks me to the max of FSB 132. CPU's with a FSB 133 are locked to a max of FSB 199.
Does anyone know how to bypas this "feature"?
I really wonder why msi did this, I know my cpu can run @ FSB 150 and I really want to get there but this mobo is holding me back. I have bios version V1.3

Now that is a Real Bummer , And until the BIOS Code is Changed (If it is Ever Changed) I'm afraid that there is no Work around for this , I am really Supprised that MSI has this "Low OC Limit" in their BIOS, But who knows Maybe VIA had something to do with it......But if I were you, I would go to the VIA Forums to take a Peak, on what their Members are doing to Circumvent this Roadblock so to speak....Maybe they have Discovered a Few tricks there http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=1 ..................Sean REILLY875

[VIA Series] PT8 Neo-V JBAT1 pin positions - stupid question

Which end to count from - can't tell from the manuals. Is 1 at the end nearest the IDE connectors?
In one position (shorting pins farthest from the IDE connectors) nothing at all happens, in the other position I get through the bios to a blinking cursor on a blank screen.

Okay - her's my spec:
MSI PT8 Neo-V
Pentium 4 2.53 533fsb Northwood
Samsung 256MB DDR PC2100
ATAPI DVDROM 16X
TOSHIBA DVD-R-/DVD-RW-
Seagate ST380021A 80GB 7200RPM
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440SE
Seasonic SS 300FS 300W Power Supply
{+12v=15A,+3.3v=28A,+5.0v=30A}
All I did was change the motherboard from a VIA P4PB400 after an overheating problem (the processor fan broke due to build-up of dust - since then the PC was 'okay' but was cutting out after about 30 minutes use). I then tried a CPU upgrade on the VIA but it didn't support the Precott 2.4GHz I'd bought - so I went for the MSI board. I get the same symptoms with the MSI board using the Prescott - went back to the Northwood after seeing the power issues on your forum.
So - even if I unplug the DVDs and floppy - I get either nothing at all, or no hard drive boot (depending on the JBAT1 jumpers - hence I'd like to know which jumper is number 1).

PT8-Neo

Hye there,
I have a big problem a have bought a new board msi PT8 neo (MS 6799). CPU 2.8/1Mb/533.

No display available
HELP ME DUDES!!! PLZ

- Try remove and re-seat cpu and cooler.
- Check 4-pin cpu powerconnection.
- Spec your Powersupply (Amps on the 3,3/5v/12v lines - read from PSu label)
Supportlist from bios 2.0, make some differans on which Prescott 2,8Ghz/ 533mhz/ 1MBcache, cpu model you´ve got.

PT8 Neo SATA Raid Configuration Utility

I recently upgraded my system which was running a AMD athlon 1.2GHZ processor and only 128mb SDRAM. The system was stable and running windows XP home edition.
I upgraded to the PT8 Neo motherboard which supports SATA hard drives. I was expecting a dramatic increase when I upgraded my system to the new P4 800mhz FSB 3.0GB processor and 512MB DDR 400mhz ram.
I was still using my WD 60GB EIDE Hard Drive when I upgraded the Motherboard, Ram, & Processor. The upgrade went smoothly and system worked without glitches.
Unsatisfied with the increase in performance, I also purchased a Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000 RPM hard drive using the SATA interface cable.
I have updated the bios of the motherboard and updated the driver for the SATA raid controller using Live Bios Update 3.
I am having 2 problems:
Problem 1. When I enter the bios for the SATA Raid configuration utility after the initial post by pressing , none of the selections are available. I move my arrows down but nothing highlights and I can't select anything in the configuration utility except ESC key to exit.
The SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS.
The initial SATA Raid Configuration displayed immediately after the post, does show the hard drive.
I want to be able to boot from the new WD Raptor Hard Drive and transfer all the existing files from the IDE Drive to the SATA drive, but I can't seem to get the drive to initialize, format, fdisk, etc.
Problem 2. Windows XP doesn't have enough resources available to activate the VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller in Device Manager. It shows a Yellow ! and returns a code 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use). I have tried disabling several items in the bios including LAN support, On board Sound but nothing seems to work.
Keep in mind, I have downloaded the latest bios, latest drivers, etc.
The rest of the components on my machine are as follows:
1. Custom Built Computer (Non-Branded)
2. 60GB Western Digital 7200 RPM IDE Hard Drive on IDE0 (Master)
3. DVD Rom on IDE0 (Slave)
4. MSI 52x32x52x CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
5. Zip 100 IDE Drive (Slave)
6. Floppy Drive
7. Pentium 4 3.0GZ 800mhz FSB
8. 512mb DDR 400mhz Memory
9. ATI All-In-Wonder PCI Video Card
10. SIIG Firewire controller
I have already tried removing the SIIG firewire controller thinking that it was getting in the way of available resources. That did not work.
I have invested alot of money on this system, I wanted the best and have always used MSI motherboards because of their stability and reliability.
Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks

first off you are only using one SATA so no option are avalible in Raid Bios
in order to install windows the safe way detach your 60ata hrad drive plug in the raptor and install windows then Press F6 at the begining the you will have to the SATA diskett in the floppy drive in stall SATA windows drivers continue with install.
once you are fished Windows, drivers then shut down and plug in your ATA hard drive turn on your PC enter the bios navagate to the Advanceed BIOS Features/Boot Sequency selected your SATA raid drive as First boot then CD roms as second. then your done boot in to windows

According to this page http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=597 that board doesn't have a Promise controller. You need to install the Via driver.
If you don't have a disk there is a driver link on that page. You download the zip file and inside you will find instructions on making a floppy.
Hi I did taht thing but it didn`t work either.. when i start the xp instalation, booting from Xp cd , it charges all its files but then when it says "Press ENTER to continue the instalations" the message is there AGAIN... THERE'S NOT HARD DRIVE ....
what can i do, WHAT U THINK PEOPLE, This maimboard supports SATA II, I thougth that it could works like SATA 150, i don't care the technology, i just want IT WORKS lile 150 sata 2 i dont care that.... but JUST WORKS!!

PT8 NEO-LSR setup problem

Hi, I just bought a PT8 Neo-LSR (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=488) With 512 DDR pc-3200 RAM, WD 80gb hd, P4 300-800 CPU. His ATI 9600XT 256 Mb AGP video
Put everything together in a brand new case.
Turn the power on. THe fans ARE working either on the CPU and the video card, but that's all. no signla, no beep no nothing. I put the plug in JPW1, put my memory in slot 1. The thing I see is the jumper on JBAT1 who is in 2-3 (clear data). I tried to put it in 1-2 but then NOTHING moves.
Any idea of what I did wrong ?

had the same problem whit the same board.
the store selled me a rma one (i think).
mouse 'did not work(ps2)
no jumpers on front audio connectors
cmos jumpers was wrong (clear data)
no ide cabels and driver cd.
just get it back to the shop for a new one
the one i have now works fine

Problem with K9A2 NEO-F board...resets after post

First time post here, sorry if this subject has already been went over. Upgrading my board, chip, RAM, and video card. Went with a dual core Windsor 2.8, 4 gig of Geil ddr2 800 ram, a MSI 8800GT video card and the K9A2 NEO-F board...the board sees the chip and counts up all the ram and finds the one SATA drive i installed. The post goes ok and windows starts to load and then a screen flashes too fast too read, and it resets back to the post again. The BIOS is the weird part. I go in to set the boot sequence, and all available bootable items are [bracketed] and any item selected is "disabled in the corresponding menu". It wont allow me to choose any bootable item; the floppy, the cdrom or the hard drive. Anyway, i have no idea why this board wont boot to my winxp drive from my old config computer. Any ideas anyone please?

??? HUH?
You can't do that! Read this carefully: you can NOT use one installation on another computer. Nor can you swap boards/cpu in an existing machine and expect Windows to work. If you want the OS to run, install the hardware you want and install Windows on the machine you want it to run on. Installing Windows using an old "bare" PC and then put that HDD into another machine will NOT work.
Now, please do a fresh Windows install on the PC you want it on. I cannot explain it more clearly...

DRAM wound too tight??????? Neo 865PE Board Advice needed

RapidShare Account-ID: 14334524
Password: QfYkRMdt
First - My computer is normally rock solid with no problems.
I turned my computer on today and it would not even boot to the BIOS.
It was if there was no power going into it but then it started to boot for about 1 second
then died. I tried again and the same thing kept happening.
I opened it up, checked the Main Board, reseated the graphics card and power cables.
This time it booted but before the bios kicked in it gave the following message:
'DRAM is wound too tight'.
I have not changed anything in the BIOS as I would not know what to change but
it then booted to the BIOS and under the power settings it says the following:
Dynamic Over Clocking = Private
Performance Mode = Slow
CPU Ratio Selection = Locked
DRAM Frequency = Auto
Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Adjust CPU Bus Clock(mhz) = 200
DDR Clock (mhz) = 333
Adjust AGP/PCI Clock (mhz) = 66.66/33.33
CPU VCORE Adjust = No
DDR Power Voltage = 2.50v
?GP Power Voltage = 1.50v
If anyone can make any suggestions I would be most appreciative as I cannot
afford to loose my computer or any data that is on it.
I'm worried that the Main Board maybe failing or maybe the RAM or PSU?
In case it matters this is what is in my system.
MSI Neo 865PE Board
AMIBIOS V3.31a
2 matched pairs of Kingston HyperX RAM KHX2700K2/1G
Intel P4 3Ghz CPU
Intel ICH5R SSATA
Port 1 = Crucial Solid State Drive (Main OS Drive)
Port 2 = Lite-On SATA CD-RW
IDE Port 1 = 300GB Samsung HD
Promise SATA
Port 1 = WD Caviar Green 1.5TB HD
Port 2 = WD Raptor 150GB HD
IDE Port = Sony CD-RW
Power Supply = Q-Tec 550 Watt Dual Fan Gold
USB Mouse/Keyboard
All housed in a 19" Rack Mount Server case.
Thanks in advance.

thanks for the replys everyone.
I take it then that my problem is the PSU?
I am shocked that you rate the Q-Tec one so badly, it is the one that was supplied
with my computer and has worked with out a problem for about 3 years or so now.
I cant take a chance with it so its going in the bin.
Having done some checking I have located a trusted stockest who has
Corsair VX 550W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-550VXUK) [CMPSU-550VXUK]
or
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) [CMPSU-650TXUK]
for just ubder £80 in the UK.
Are either of these any good and is one better for me than the other considering what
main board I have. Also the new CPU has got to fit in my computer case so its physical size must match the old one.
I am not a modder so this is all a bit alien to me so any tips or hints much appreciated.
Thanks again

PT8 Neo would not power up

My PT8 Neo was fine all along. Then one day, it would not power up. After the Start button was depressed, the power light in front came on but the PSU would not power up. There was no 5V and 12V on the hard drive power connectors. All components including the PSU but not the motherboard were tested on another machine and worked. Please help.

Thanks for your tip. Removed battery and then reinserted. No luck. Also have tried changing the jbat1 setting. In the other position, the power light in front did not come on at all. In the original position, the light came on after the start button was depressed. It then went off when the reset button was depressed. Looks like the motherboard is not sinking sufficiently pin 14 of the 20-pin power connector to cause the PSU to start up.
