WANTED! - List of IRQs and Hardware for K8N Diamond Plus?

Hi there!
I'm trying to find out what hardware shares IRQs on the MSI K8N Diamond Plus motherboard.
I want to use an X-Fi card in the bottom (orange) PCI slot, and 2x 7800GTX cards in the PCI-Express x16 slots and would like to know if any of the devices will share IRQ's with onboard hardware.
You can list your IRQs by running msinfo32 - start, run, msinfo32 [enter], then click expand the following item in the tree System Summary -> Hardware Resources -> IRQs. 
You can export the IRQ's in msinfo32, make sure the IRQ list is displayed, then click file/export, then save to a text file.  Open the  text file with notepad and copy and paste your results to your reply below.
I'm trying to find out whether an MSI K8N Diamond Plus will have less conflicts or less important conflicts than a ASUS A8N32-SLI.

There are 4 PCI IRQs called INTA#, INTB#, INTC# and INTD#.
These INTx# are interrupts and are level sensitive, this means that the electrical singnaling allows for them to be shared among all PCI cards. All single device/ function PCI cards that use only 1 interrupt must use INTA# as this is one of the rules in the PCI spec. If there are additional devices within a chip or on-board a card then these additional devices can use INTB#~INTD#, since there are very few multifubtion PCI boards (none that I know of right off my head) this means that most or all devices will use INTA#.
With that said; you do not really need to worry about hard wired INTA#~INTD# at board level.
If you are using Win XP I would not even worry about IRQs as Windows uses "Virtual IRQ routing" which simply means Windows XP will assing IRQ to each device and XP handles this extremly well.

  • Aftermarket HSF options for K8N Diamond Plus

    Just built a new rig with the K8N Diamond Plus  and am very pleased with the board -- worked great from first power up and with a little BIOS tweaking I have no trouble getting a 50% overclock from my dual core Opteron 170.  No headaches at all, unlike my previous experiences with Abit boards.
    The AMD heatsink fan unit (with heatpipes) provided with the 170 is not bad at all, but I'd like to replace it with a more capable unit, along the lines of the Zalman 9500, Scythe Ninja, Tuniq Tower 120, Thermalright XP-120, etc.  The tall heatsink of the Nvidia NB is close to the CPU socket and quite high, so I'm not sure if any of these will fit.  Anyone using one of these or similar heatsinks ?  Please let me know if they fit, or did not fit. 
    Since I could find any of the 7800GTX 512MB boards I wanted, I'm using a single MSI X1900XT card right now but plan to go SLI in the future with 7900GTX cards driving the 30" Dell monitor.  The ATI video board and nVidia mainboard surprisingly get along great, with no crashes so far and 3DMark06 scores above 6000 -- the X1900XT is an impressive piece, and much faster than the X800XT-PE I had in my previous computer.  But the fan can be extremely loud and the Catalyst Control Center sucks.  Unfortunately the old ATI control panel is no longer offered...

    TimeReaper,
    The problems your are talking about are not uncommon with this MS-7220.  The BIOS Clear Circuit physically has problems and that is not something they are going fix with a BIOS upgrade.
    The BIOS Clear Circuit actually trashing the values stored in the CMOS by not doing a complete clearing of the CMOS is causing the problem.  What leaves trash for parameters, for the BIOS to use when rebooting.
    Let give you an example that fits your case.  You can set the BIOS to turn the system on at any give time and date.  So, if the trash in CMOS is in those parameters storage location.  Therefore, whatever trash value gets stored in the locations, as a dated and time, will turn the computer on at that time.  So, you could of had the computer come on in the meddle of the night two week later.  Now, think of all the functions the BIOS have and how many weird things people are having and do not know why.  There is one guy that is a regular on the Forum how has been fighting a problem I know is caused by trash in the BIOS CMOS, but Strick and I have ask him to do a good CMOS clearing and he just will not do it.  I even wrote out in great deal the over night CMOS clear procedure I use.  It is a pain in the ass, but some times, I have too use it.  I just had to use it, upgraded V3.09 using short CMOS Clear and had no problem.  Used the short procedure again when upgrading to V3.0A and everything when to hell, had to finally use the long overnight procedure and reinstall Windows to get computer to run right again.
    NoBS, when your computer goes BOOO during the night just plain it o MSI.

  • Adapter cable for K8N Diamond Plus PCIE cable?

    I guess the K8N Diamon Plus was made before standards were settled, since it has the oldish IDE/Molex power connector for PCIE cards. That while Power Supplies now use the standard connector. Of course there are molex connectors as well on the PS cables, but many power supplies are split into 2 or 4 channels and you're better off using as many channels as possible.
    The problem is: I can't find any adapter cable with (female) PCIE --> (male) Molex... I can find cables with one male PCIE and two Molex (don't remember if they were male or female), but not the right kind. I would look more closely now, when buying, and I now know about PS with split/combined settings - but the two PS I have are both "not right" for the Diamond Plus.
    Any help with such cables? I'm in Stockholm, Sweden, so something in Europe would be preferred.

  • 3.0A BIOS for K8N Diamond Plus

    New BIOS available on the MSI website - http://www.msicomputer.com/support/bios_result.asp
    It's v3.0A, 492kb, dated 3/21/2006.
    Downloaded it this morning without checking it, thinking it was the 3.09 BIOS and wanting to test the problem people reported with the Marvell ethernet controller.  Turns out it was the 3.0A bios and the Marvell controller shows up fine in Windows Device Manager.  So, anyone having that problem with 3.09 should check this out...
    In addition, I'm pretty certain the 300HTT limit has been removed too (I'm sure I tested at 305 this morning, although I wasn't stable anyway).

  • K8N Diamond Plus, SLI and Creative X-Fi cards, anyone running similar?

    Hi there!
    I've got an ASUS A8N32-SLI board and my X-Fi card does not work with it, nor does it for many other people with similar setups.
    See here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=31426
    and here:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=26289
    I get crackling and popping noises when running most games, e.g. BF2, Fear, FarCry.  When my 2x7800GTX's are in SLI mode it crackles loads, e.g. start far cry, click options, and listen.  When i disable SLI mode it crackles less, but it still crackles.  Many others encounter similar issues with their systems that are not identical but the symptoms are similar - high load = crackling/popping.
    My question is:
    Is anyone here sucessfully running any X-Fi card (music, fatality, elite pro, etc) with 2x video cards and NO crackling/popping in BF2, FEAR and FarCry?
    I've already had a replacement X-Fi card from creative which their tech guy said "should" fix it, lol, I'm wondering wether to replace my A8N32-SLI with an K8N Diamond Plus to fix the problem.  Besides, the MSI board has better PCI slot location and works with nTune too unlike the ASUS board.

    What's going on guys.
    I hate to see peep's having soooo many prob's and it sucks major BALLZ. The reason why I'm reposting is that I encountered a new issue. Not with my rig, but a friend's.
    We pretty much have the same setup. Differences are he's using 2GB of Corsair DDR400 (which is picking up as DDR333 as well), different branded video cards (I'm running two EVGA 7800GT's in SLi, he's running two BFG 7800GT's in SLi), XFi Platinum (me, Fatality Edition) and he's got a dedicated ITE RAID PCI card for his RAID from his previous rig. Configured his BIOS pretty much the same way I have it running (he wanted to Overclock his AMD x2 4400+ to 2.6 GHz), but when it came to installing Windows we kept getting BSOD's during installation. Looked over things numerous times and it didn't make sense. We resetted the BIOS to default settings and Windows went through without a hitch. We tried OC'ing it one more time and Windows was fine. But, when he installed and ran Quake 4, either Windows or the game would just lock up. He booted back into the BIOS and put the CPU back at stock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Game ran flawlessly afterwards. That points at the processor. The only differences were we both have different stock fans and his CPU was manufactured in July '05. Mine in Sept '05. His rig also reports the infamous "Phantom" PCI modem as well.
    Quake 4 is the only game he's got installed so far, but he reports everything is set to their highest qualities, including resolution. He said it runs great with no anomalies. He's going to install Dawn of War and Winter Assault later I know.
    Me? I haven't run into any issues with any games either, including F.E.A.R. as Hydrasworld asked. Both of our sound cards are in the Communication PCI Slot of the motherboard. My take on the OC issue is since we're using different proc's from different wafers, maybe my chip had revisions in September that the July proc my friend has didn't. Also, his heatsink has one less copper pipe I noticed. I'll still drop by for help. Good luck to you all and the only other thing I can add is try using the latest drivers for each piece of hardware you've got.
    LPB
    P.S. If you can and you purchased a retail version of the processor, on one of the sides of the carton insert for the processor, a date should be printed. Maybe that can explain some issues. Once more, my proc was manufactured September 15th, 2005.

  • K8N Diamond Plus and Opteron 175

    Anyone running a K8N Diamond Plus and an Opteron 175 ok?
    Any problems?
    Any tips?

    Quote from: skippy9146 on 20-January-06, 08:51:51
    They should run fine... as a Diamond Plus comes with a Dual Core compatable BIOS.
    You'll have to post back with some news when you get it together.... I have a 165 that needs a new home.
    thanks for the reply, i kinda figured it might support it, as the M8N Diamond does (accordingto the cpu support list) but MSI's site doesn't seem to have much info about the K8N Diamond plus, not even a single bios upgrade or anything.
    I have an ASUS A8N32-SLI but i have 3 issues with it:
    1) can't install vista 5270 - common problem, not just me
    2) poor pci slot location when using 2 pci-express dual width gfx cards
    3) only available pci slot shares an IRQ with 2nd gfx card, bad for sound cards
    I was going to order one this weekend but i might just not bother now as someone else posted the xfi cards don't work with them (popping/crackling, just like i have now) and that was my main motivation for getting rid of my asus board as my xfi card doesn't work either.

  • Tips for my K8N Diamond Plus

    so although i have been into hardware for awhile now i have never really been a big OC'er.  it was never something i really wanted to do since i work my arse off to get my hardware.  my buddy recently OC'ed his micro-ATX board with his AMD 3700+ from 2.2 to 2.9 on a stock heatsink and he is sitting stable.  this got me thinking and wanting to try out a bit of OC'ing just to see what i am able to push my system until i upgrade from my current CPU to a new 4400+ dual core.  so here is my system and im just looking for tips/a quick walkthrough of what i need to tweak to OC my box and keep it stable.
    CPU: AMD 3500+ 939-socket, Newcastle core stock at 2.2ghz
    MoBo: MSI K8N Diamond Plus with the 3.09 BIOS
    RAM: 2x1gig sticks of PQI Turbo 400mhz/PC3200 timings of 3-4-4-7
    PSU: Sunbeam 550watt SLI certified
    Video Cards: 2x eVGA 7900gt's SLI'ed
    that is basicly the big stuff, i have  a X-FI soundcard and all SATA HDD's and stuff but that stuff doesnt really matter too much when it comes to OC'ing.  anyways, im just looking for directions on what i should set my stuff to.  if you could also through in a run down of how HT, the multiplier, my FSB, and the DRAM/FSB settings affect each other i would really appreciate it.
    basicly all i would need is something like this for my settings:
    multiplier:
    vcore:
    FSB:
    DRAM/FSB:
    mem timings:
    HT settings:
    and anything else i have left out.
    again, i would really appreciate the help.

  • WHICH OPERTON DUAL CORE FOR K8N DIAMOD PLUS X16????

    Okay all of you experts out their  I want to upgrade to a dual core Operton which would be better the 165 denmark or the 175 Denmark I really dont know anything about overclocking but I do wish to explore it when the weather cools down! But primarily I want to know what the difference of haveing the 165 multiplier at x9 and the 175 multi at 11x what is the difference I would like to overclock but only if it does not jepordize the stabillity of my system and I dont run the risk of data corruption so basically if you have the 165 denmark at 1.8 core what can you bring it to for a rock solid system with over clocking???? 2.0   2.2 what can I expect???? I want speed and rock hard stability as this is my only P.C I do alot of gameing multi tasking , burning music file transfering  can you overclock the 165 to 2.2 and leave it at that over clock permanently without data corruption? Or is the 175 Denmark the better choice with my memory???
                                         Please help and thanks in advance........

    I suppose that is true, as we all seem to have addictive personalities when it comes to this stuff! But regarless I still did not think that much of the dual core that I had before! Would have liked to get the 185 Operton buttttt well you know money. It's gonna be quite a while until they get the AM2 platform straightened out and stabilizeled I personally woul'nt touch that platform with a 10' pole right now! Besides I am quite happy with my 939 K8N Diamond Plus 
    this is the best system that I have ever owned probably because I built it myself I mean I dont even overclock right now and this thing is pumped on nitrous! Yhea one thing that I over looked was that they were out of stock on the opty that I bought at New Egg I called them this morning to see if i got lucky and kopped the last one but unfortunayely it looks like perhaps 10- 14 days before I get it and I cant change my order what a kick in the balls!!!!!

  • Which PSU for MSI K8N Diamond Plus?

    I am so frustrated ... I have spent over 6 hours trying to find out which power supplies I can use with the MSI K8N Diamond Plus.
    I am not able to find any PSU that has 24 pin, 8 pin and 4 pin power connectors ... do you have to get them custom made or something? I am in Switzerland and it is hard to track these things down if you do not speak the language.
    This is the page which I am using to try and find a compatible PSU:
    http://www.stegcomputer.ch/browse.asp?cat=376
    I think the Spire Rocketeer VI should work but am not sure.
    Can anybody recommend a PSU that is compatible with this board? Please.

    Kenito443,
    I see you have the Stacker830, was looking at that case myself. How do you find it performance / quality wise?
    Russell
    Yeah i love it...the cooling is amazing, my case never goes above 30C and the cpu idles at 22c and never goes over 27C even when OC'd,.. granted i have substantial cooling for the cpu.  the case is completely tool less and boasts a up to 9 12cm fans...the case is double encased  Al so with a silent PSU (true 500W), which is my set up , it is extremely quiet. i was going to get the lian li until i saw both of them on display. the lian li seemed a little harder to set up for water cooling -if i wanted that option in the future, and the tool less feature for the cm stacker was a lot more appealing. Interestingly, it has its own proprietary hard drive noise reduction and cooling doohickey. Also, the mb has this cool pull out tray plus the PSU rail is really easy to accomadate for a larger  PSU. the store where i bought it from in santa clara CA threw in some of these nice dust filters with the case and I was sold. the only con was the price, i paid  around $230, which is a little expensive for a CM....oh and a word of warning , the case doesnt really look that big in pictures, but it is HUGE !! it has 10 5.25-inch bays..you can fit every single imaginable peripheral and still have room to fit your kitchen sink..i was definitely surprised to see how big it was in person.

  • Water cooling and the K8N Diamond Plus...

    I have a water cooled DFI mobo atm and I want to change it to the K8N Diamond Plus and I noticed that the board has a heat pipe on the northchip and on some other component. My question is this; I want to put a water block on the northchip but I don't know if I can. Can I safely remove the heat pipe setup to put a water block on the north chip and if I do what about the other component that the heatpipe was covering? I hope I wasn't to confusing in the explanation.

    Hello !!
    You will need two Waterblocks, one for the north- second one for the southbridge.
    There should be no Problems mounting the blocks if the mounting holes fit the mainboard.
    You can easily remove the Heatpipe. You have to squeeze those nipples togehter tha are on the backside of the board. You can do it manually but you can also use a cylindric tool to squeeze them together. I cut a plastic pen i the half, and pushed it on those mounting latches carefully.
          ___|\        half pen
    latch___          <----
              |/      ___________
    After this procedure the Heatpipe is only held from the thermal grease on the chipset.

  • K8N Diamond Plus... Lots o Crashes, and other wierdness

    Well, gotta new build here.   Ran fast and hard from an Abit A8N SLI that was never stable, after 5 months of tinkering.
    Moved to the Diamond Plus SLI X16.  Never had an MSI before, but had lots of the others (Asus, Epox, Abit, ECS, PCChips, etc)  and am so far pretty happy.
    However, there are some strange things happening as I iron out the bugs.
    No BSODs fortunately yet to speak of, but plenty o crashes when exiting FarCry, Quake etc.   Never during the game, but when I exit it blows up.   Also, lots of graphics distortion, which I never had before.
    The thing'll run Prime stable for hours with stock settings for everything plus OCZ mem settings specifically for this mobo (1T).
    But the crashing while exiting is wierd.   The windows dump file has no reference to drivers or anything else, niether does the event viewer, so I have no leads, especially as I'm not that experienced in this Mobo yet.
    I have the latest Nforce and Geforce drivers.   The thing is pretty stable, but gets a little wierded out in games.
    Ideas greatly welcomed, no matter how hairbrained (but please don't tell me its my power supply  )

    Nanohead,
    First off this is not criticism, but the Diamond Plus uses AMD Hyper Transport Technology more than any MB I seen, there may be high end severs that use it more, but I am not into that.
    If you are going to be OC, the Diamond Plus you are going to have known something, a lot, about HT or you MB is going to be unstable.
    The lay out of the BIOS HT parameters may not be prefect, but it is not bad for a companies first draft and that is what its.
    With HT the timing and bandwidth between Processor, Northbridge and Southbridge is all variable in word length and clock speed.  If you do not have them all set correctly you reduce system stably and throughput.
    Because to be the maximum performance out of the system yon not only have to tune FSB, Memory Clock and all memory parameters.  You are now PCI Express Bus parameters and HT parameters tune.  You will notice I did not say adjust, they now need to be tuned, because they all have to be running just the right data rate or you will get corrupted data.  Anyone of the subsystems now running to slow or to fast can crash the system.
    And right now the  Diamond Plus is stall a mix of old and new Technologies and everything has to be tuned manually or just leave it a factory default values, which will not be the fastest the system will run, but it hopefully will be the most stable.
    The days of just cranking up the clocks to OC your compute are over.

    When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it.
