Stable config with k8n neo2 plat.

ok, tried the overclocking forum, but hey, 9 views in 2 hours..
Posting my bios, what I need is a stable system(yes) and safe memory settings at the top level of what they can deliver.. Don't want to do any rushing mistakes since I have RMA-d the sticks once already..The system is stable, but I think it's a bit slow.. If someone would suggest any changes it would be great..Thank's..
(My system is in sig.)

Freezing issues with K8N Neo2 Plat & 6800 gt

Well I get random freezing during games. Sometimes it freezes for 5-10 seconds then comes back, while other times it just freezes and the sound comes back but not the game.
I had this problem when I first upgraded.
K8N Neo2 plat
1gb corsair xms 3200
athlon 64 3500
aslo have:
420-30? antec tru power supply. I cant remember exact number.
6800gt ultra
audigy 2 plat
Now I first posted my problem a while ago and someone told me to try chaning the HT to 4x instead of 5x. So I did and it worked. It worked for a few weeks and now the problems have come back.
Any Ideas?

Along with the above issues, I've also found that a lot of my gaming probs with the 6800 are due to it being a "bandwidth hog" & it's latency needs to be adjusted lower to enable the other devices on the PCI bus (i.e. sound card) to get enough bandwidth to function properly. This isn't noticeable until you start some heavy gaming with a lot going on at once...
If your game ever practically chugs to a halt when a lot of sounds are being produced, this is the main problem. Here's a way & some notes on how to deal with it. Just like every "tweak" though, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone but I got noticeable benefits from it.
- D/L (I got it @ guru3D) PCI Latency Tool & give the "Read Me" a quick once-over. Write down the values for your devices, in case you need/want to change 'em back. Most items are well labeled - the 6800 & your sound card will be what you are most interested in. I wouldn't mess with the rest of 'em, as they deal with low level system items that are best left alone. Unless you are truly an Uber Geek!
- The latency for my 6800 listed as a massive 248 clks! For some reason, I've read that ATI cards don't default at such a large value, which might explain why people don't seem to have as many performance issues with 'em. Anyhow lower the 6800 to a more "reasonable" value, like 128 or 64. 64 seemed to work best for me.
- Save the settings, reboot & test it out. You can experiement with the sound card latency too, in order to find what works best for you, but I wouldn't set it at less than it's default value (32).
Hope this helps.

Problem with K8N neo2 plat. and ram

Hello everyone
Recently I had 2*512mo of PC3200 ( double side ), they hold all approximately 235mhz has 2.5/3/3/8 1T (tested separately)
But, when I puts them into dual they are stable under memtest always with 235 2.5/3/3/8 1T but are unstable under Windows, under xp they are stable until 207mhz maximum whereas they hold much higher under memtest
If I want to be stable A 235mhz under Windows it is necessary that I put them in 2T but y' has an enormous loss of perf
I tested different bios (1.37mod, 1.4 official, 1.41mod, 1.5 official, 1.8r3mod, 1.9 official and 1.B4mod) and always the same problem I also tested on port 1 and 3 (near to the CPU) and 2 and 4 but there it is still worse
Here if you have suggestion they are the welcomes
In advance thank you

Occasional Boot up problems, with K8N Neo2 Plat.

Hey everyone,
I've had this setup for a couple weeks now and I'm still experiencing random problems booting up. I thought I had concluded that it was fast writes issue, however the other day it did it again.
What happens is while loading winxp.. right before it's going to actually get into windows it just hangs. Now sometimes I can just hit the reset button and then the next time around I will get the safe mode menu and if I select normal boot it will boot up fine this time. Any ideas? I'm using the latest 1.4 bios, and tried both the latest nforce drivers from nvidia's site and those beta 6 ones that are floating around.
The system works perfect aside from this issue, once I'm in windows it's rock solid. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks..

It may be worth a look but it was dexterryu talk of instability
Quote
When I even try to install windows when the drive is on Sata 3 or 4 the pre-install hangs after loading the Nforce driver
That made me suggest looking at memory as well.
Other than booting you say your system seems stable.
Have a look hereCorsair Memory Identify your memory & see if there's a * next to it, if there is then Quote
* These parts support 2-3-3-6 latency on Intel platforms, and 2.5-3-3-6 latency on AMD platforms
applies. Don't think it does in your case be best if you confirm it yourself.
Your issue seems to be more about windows trying to detect your raid.
It wouldn't do any harm to slacken your memory timings to see if it makes any diff.
but I think in the longer run you would get better results with the updated Raid Bios & Updated Raid Drivers . See Beta Bios & Drivers

New K8N NEO2 PLAT. and SC-939 3200+ help needed...

Hello,
I have just upgraded my system with K8N Neo2 Plat. and sc-939 3200+ A64 Cpu.
There are several issues I need to resolve which are:
1- Although I change from BIOS the settings for AGP to 4x8x and enable fast writes, I still cant see them turned on from the Catalyst Control Center. Everything is greyed out what can I do? They all used to be on and agp was 8x with my K7N2 Delta board....
2- Although I installed the original drivers from the MSI CD, I couldn't get one of the network prts to install. Realtek installed OK. But other one is defined by the device manager as standart network adapter. What can I do?
3- I am brand new to A64 system so I do not know what setting to use from BIOS can you help me out, for instance there are values for HT such as x3 x4 x5 mine is set to x5? what is this? should I enable cool and quiet, I am not intended to do overclocking. Can you give me some tips for best performance?
My best regards.

Make sure your bios is up to date: version 1.5. Look at the sticky threads and use the information to enable hidden bios features. Disable ATI/NV speedup in the bios. Uninstall your drivers and reinstall. If the information is still greyed out, download the free version of Sandra here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and check the module under video system information. This will tell you if fast writes are enabled and your AGP setting. Leave the HT(hyper-transport) set to 5X unless you plan on oc'ing, if you do oc then may find you'll need to reduce it to 4X or 3X. Try downloading the latest driver for your network from the MSI website. Right click the device in device manager and select update, select specific location then "don't look...I'll choose", direct it to the file where you've unpacked the correct driver and then update.

Looking for cheapest ram to go with the k8n neo2 plat

looking for the cheapest compatable 1GB dc kit for the msi k8n neo2 plat
any suggestions

Yea,
I gotta give a shout out for the Corsair Value Select series also. I ran it for years in cheap systems I built for friends without any problems at all. Newegg has it pretty cheap (under $100 bucks).
I think their cheapest starts at 79$ bucks for DDR400

K8N neo2 Plat problem with Inno3D 7600GS AGP, help pls...

Just got the new Inno3d 7600GS AGP card, after installed & while booting up my monitor keep going off and on then suddenly just went off...sometime system freeze when it reach deskstop.
Sometime lucky enough it will still there and the next few minute the system just freeze.
After several attemp & no choice, I unplug the power to the graphic card and the problem still exist.
I am using a HEC 350W PSU.
I change back to my old ati9200se card & no problem at all.
I changed to skyhawk 430W still same problem. even I boot up to safe mode still the same. Only time the monitor wouldn't go off untill it pass the winXP logo then the problem appear.
I got no problem when go to CMOS as well.
Already perform uninstall previous video driver, update latest nforce driver....all no use.

What are your PSU amp for the +12V? What bios version are you using right now? Tried to disable the fast write in the Bios? Gd luck.

Weird multipel error with K8N Neo2 and XMS Pro 3200LL

Hi everyone, i recently got a winchester 3200 running on my K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G board and i discovered a very weird thing and im not the only one having this problem either with this mobo/cpu. Its a bit hard to explain but i´ll giv it a try.
I can start with my current spec...
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G
AMD A64 3200+ Winchester
Corsair TwinX 1024 XMS Pro 3200LL
2x Maxtor diamondmax s-ata 80BG
Gainward 2400GT GS (6800GT)
Coolermaster Hyper 6 cpu cooler
Tagan 480w psu (28A on 12V)
Then i can continue with saying that this problem that occurs with my corsair memorys dose not happend with Adata vitesta 566 memorys.
I figure your getting curious by now
Well heres the deal. In normal frequencys, multipliers and dividers this setup runs just fine, but when i try to oc it past 220Mhz FSB only one multiplier will work, regardless of HTT multiplier or any other bios setting. The only cpu multipel that it will boot with in 133 divider is X5 over 220Mhz FSB, with the 166 divider the only cpu multipel that works then is x6, and only the x4 cpu multipel works in 200 divider. Keep in mind that this didnt happend with adata vitesta sticks, it ran fine with every multipel/divider config...
Oddly enough it works fine in 100 divider on the memorys, every cpu multipel works then past 220Mhz FSB. So far i have gotten my winnie stable at 2,6GHz in standard vcore (with adata vitesta in 200 divider or with corsair running in 100 divider, 290x9 on the cpu).
The divider table is as follows with the corsair sticks :
100 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
133 divider= only x5 cpu multipel is bootable
166 divider= only x6 cpu multipel is bootable
200 divider= only x4 cpu multipel is bootable
With Adata vitesta 566 the following applys:
100 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
133 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
166 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
200 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
Could someone please tell me what causes this I realize that it´s because of some incompatabillity between my corsair sticks and the mobo/cpu, but what?

im having the same problem running 2x512 crucial value select 3200.
with everything at default speeds, cant lower memory speed or comp crashes before windows loads.
if i take out one stick and just run 512, then i can lower memory to 100. but thats it, except i can do the speeds that u listed with the specific cpu multiplier. with 2 sticks in though i cannot lower the memory speed at all. i cant find any fixes for this, if anyone has any clues please help!

Random system freezes with K8N Neo2...

Hi!
I've got the following problem:
My Pc freezes randomly, i.e. I'm booting my system, WinXP starts and I'm on my desktop and then it freezes and nothing happens( and I did nothing!). I have to reboot my machine. Then, the pc boots up and everything works fine (mostly). So, I can work with it maybe for a few hours or a few days and everything works nearly perfect. But then, it freezes again and I have to reboot it. Sometimes, mostly when I'm playing ut2k4 or other games, it freezes after a few minutes or a few hours of playing and I have to reboot, but not only one time; the pc boots up, I start the game again, play a few minutes and it freezes again. (this situation repeats itself several times). Or, I start the game and everything works fine for some days!
I'm frustrated because I can't play what I want or even work because of those freezes. I tried some things, like reinstalling new drivers for my mb but nothing helped. I cleared cmos and made new settings in my bios but this also didn't brought the wanted results. And now, I'm at a point where I don't know what I also can do.
Maybe a bios update would help, but I read some posts here where people have made 'bad' experiences with the new bios version, so I'm careful.

Also I found some links to similar problems, still cant figure if it’s a hardware fault or a software one

Unidentified 10-12Pins inside the K8N Neo2 Plat

Hi guys,
I've just finished setting up my K8N Neo2 Plat into the case with the jumpers and cables etc. And there's sometihng interesting I discovered.
There is a set of jumpers or Pins, just above the JDB1 [D-Bracket pins] that seems to be unused and un-labelled in the Instruction manual.
The PCB has it labelled as JPC1 with a small arrow pointing downwards.
I searched thru the manual, and no sign of what it's used for.
Anyone else noticed this when they installed their board jumpers and pins?
Many thanks
mystify

LOL..you can pm to syar as he has the modded bios for 1C as i'm using his bios as nice and easy. But like what qyx say corecentre messing all you setting including the bios and stay away any DOT, C&Q if you're ocing your system. Better used manual way to set it in the bios. GD luck.

K8N Neo2 plat, no post issue cont'd.

Hi its me again, the guy with the intermittent "no post" k8n neo2 plat.
Loaded the 1b3 beta the other day, again 1 day later the box would not post, as usual no
indication on the D-bracket, just one flash of the keyboard, the fans span one half round.
Since it could run for 1month plus with 1a3 beta BIOS(no usb2.0 (I could not wait any longer wanted usb2.0 so I flashed to a newer bios)),
start thinking it could be something between these latter full versions and this.
Then saw a thread on the web about someone having a Winnie that his box also has issues when swapping for latter
version than 1.5, with 1.5 his plat run fine. Go figure.
So for the time being I switched it to v1.5 bios, lets see how long it holds.
oh btw, the CMOS clear "no effect" seem to be avoided, by unplugging every external
peripheral prior to doing the cmos clear.

And for those that ask me, what HDs? What IDEs?
Go take an A+ Course please. No one with 2 cells of brain capacity would hook everything up on first boot not knowing if it will work or not...
Thanks, all help appreciated.
The Led display from your D-Bracket indicates it is stopping when it tries to initialise the floppy drive. You don't have one. No A+ course needed, just hook up your floppy or disable it in the BIOS. I have no floppy drive (I have no need) so have it disabled. Probably best to hook up all relevant devices that will enable a working machine. The BIOS is probably halting when it can't initialise a device. There would be no point in it proceeding if it doesn't have all devices needed for a bootable machine...
See D-Bracket guide here D-Bracket Guide
I'm only guessing.

K8N Neo2 Plat - Is 1.8 still the best bios?

Just bought new gfx card - Sapphire X1600Pro 256MB AGP - for my K8N Neo2 Plat setup (see sig for the rest).
I was getting 3dmark03 scores of 4400 to start with, then it has upped slowly to just over 6000 thanks to the various BIOS experts setup guides. I haven't found the Shgift F2 menu - is that only in later BIOSes ?
I'm only at BIOS 1.3 due to it's amazing stability with this setup, but now of course, I'm wondering if upping to, say, 1.8, might help improve things further ??
TIA

Hello !
The 1.8 bios is very good unless you are planning to run/update to an X2 dual core , then you will need a newer one for sure.
There is nothing faster and better with 1C , EasyBios 1C and my modded have better default values set in it ,EasyBios
have also better reworked layout (more user friendly) , but if you don't have any problems with your current one I would stick with it .
It's almost the same with my Neo1 system (Ms-7030) , I have this frozen at the 1.5b6 bios - with the Newcastle cpu in it
it actually works worse with the latest BIOS

As this pertains to A64's make sure that you have a power supply that is either approved for use by MSI/AMD or that you have plenty of amps on the 12 volt rail. Typically we have noted many issues based on stability with PSU's being rated at less than 24A on the 12v rail.

K8n neo2 Plat 54G, allround WLAN card

Does someone know if the WLAN PCI card provided with
the k8n neo2 Plat 54G will work in any other PCI slot
on any other motherboard? Reason I ask is the orange
colour slot on k8n Neo2, which is 'reserved' for the
WLAN PCI card, hints to be some kind of conditional slot?
I have a wireless network at home, but not using the k8n
wirelessly, but some other boxes could.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but figured someone might have use of this info.
As an update, a good while back I put this WLAN card in an ECS VIA KM266 board, seemed to work, but was not too pleased with its performance or the SW MSI had along with this card. So I used another wireless solution instead.
Today decided to see if any new drivers around for this card.
The wireless chip on this card is a RT2500 by RaLink.
Looked up at their website and found driver version 3.2.0.0, date 26-Oct-2007.

This driver appear to work OK, the connection stays up, even at weak transmission conditions. The speed is not amazing but works. I assume it works reasonably well under good signal conditions.
EDIT: new version posted, version 3.2.0.10, date 12-Feb-2009.
