Whats the Difference K8N NEO PLatinum/FSR

I was looking at MSI web site and trying to see what the difference is between these two boards according to msi web site there isn't, is there?
K8N Neo Platinum
K8N Neo Fsr

true,non platinum version lacks sata 1 and 2 but SATA 3 and 4 are still there and you can get your RAID on.in fact SATA 3 n 4 are better choices for OCing and perform faster on stock speed.
thats why both platinum and FSR version share the same BIOS.

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
    6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

  • Does Thermalright XP120 heatsink fit on the MSI K8N NEO Platinum?

    Well, does it? It's rather huge ...

    Ozoneman,
    What position is best for heat pipe orientation? Seem I read and article on it somewhere, but can't fine it now.
    Thanks
    I think with the heatpipes down is a good orientation anyway.  However, Thermalright is saying with their heatpipes it doesn't matter anyway because they put some kind of stuff on the walls so there is a wicking effect.

  • Using the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu + Zalman ZM80D-HP VGA heatsink on MSI-K8N NEO-Platinum

    Hi,
    Im buying a Athlon 64 system very soon (today or tommorow) and have the following question regarding the MSI-K8N NEO-Platinum. I know the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu fits on the mobo but it gets very close to the videocard. How close does it get? Can I still use the Zalman ZM80D-HP VGA heatsink? If anyone knows this please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi SirMurray,
    I have the CNPS7000A-AlCu and the ZM80C-HP and the 7000A-AlCu is only about 2cm (maybe less) away from my graphics card. There is no way to have both the 7000A-AlCu and the ZM80C-HP (same goes for ZM80D-HP as Im 99% sure it is the exact same size as the ZM80C-HP) installed together without modifying the ZM80.
    I was quite dissapointed about this cause I really wanted to use both so I tried to move the back heatsink of the ZM80C-HP but no matter what I did it just woulnd't fit with the 7000A-AlCu... BUT!...
    What I did was to modify the ZM80 so that instead of the heatpipe going from the front to the back of the card as usual, it was turned around, so that the heatpipe now passes in front of the front-side heatsink. I then mounted the other heatsink (usually at the back of the card) so now both heatsinks are situated on one side of the card. Once I locked them in place with the little brackets they give you to join the two heatsinks it was done!
    p.s. just in case you are wondering, the heatsinks are quite light so there is no real danger in having both placed on one side of the card. they don't pull the card to one side or stress the gpu mounting gear, etc. any more than having them installed normally. also, they are far enough apart when both on one side of the card for good airflow between them.
    This all works for me and I haven't had any problems with it at all. It does mean that the whole graphics card + heatsink covers a LOT of PCI slots (4 I think). This is okay for me as I only have one PCI card (audigy 2) installed. Also, if you need to fit the optional fan for the ZM80 than you might run into trouble as the spacing between the heatsinks is smaller when using this setup than when they are installed as per zalmans instructions (front + back).
    Hope this helps!

  • K8N NEO Platinum 4 Red LED at Startup

    I installed a new MSI K8N Neo Platinum mainboard in my computer in December 2005, and my computer has been a pain ever since. My problem is 85% of the time when I turn the power on it just won't boot up, I get 4 Red LED lights.  If I shut it off and on half a dozen to 20 times. During one of those times it will bootup normal and work great. Shutdowns are normal. 
    My Family hates this and won't use it. This computer has been nicknamed the MSI Little Witch.  I have had it down to barebones out of case with just graphic card, 1 memory stick, IDE harddrive, keyboard and mouse, it will do same thing.  I've unplugged and replugged everything countless times.  It still does it. I have tried Maxtor, Samsung, and Western Digital hard drives with fresh install of Windows XP Pro, it still does same thing.  I have alternated memory sticks, same thing.  It will warm reboot as long as I don't powerdown, but if I shut the power off it will not reboot until it cools down about 20 minutes.  Then I can go through the same startup problems as I normally have.  I have not done any overclocking.
    Anyone have a fix to this fustrating problem?

    I have the same problem with my K8N Neo Platinum.  Except mine seems to occur after the motherboard has not had power after sometime.  For example, it happened every time I moved my computer when I moved into and out of my dorm room.  I don't know if its the same "cooling down" time you're talking about, but what usually fixes it for me (at least temporarily) is killing the power to the machine while it is on.  Regular soft resets won't work for many tries, but when the computer is on with all 4 red LEDs i'll flip the power switch on the power supply.  That usually makes it work fine.  Also another thing that seemed to intermittently trigger it is changes to the BIOS.  A CMOS reset would not fix that either.  I would have to flip the power switch and kill the power.  Then after starting it
    up again it would be okay.  I have also tried multiple combinations of different cpus, memory sticks, and video cards.  I also made sure there were no shorts to ground anywhere. 
    Also after a year of solid operation (with the exception of this problem) I started to get Machine Check Exception BSODs in XP.  I think this was because of a possible bad stick of RAM, because that seemed to cause lockups in the way beginning of the Windows setup (where it is loading files such as Windows Executive, etc).  When I removed it and put another stick in, the windows installation would go fine.  But, that did not fix the issue with this motherboard.
    I've had so many problems with the multiple K8N Neo Platinums I have purchased.  This is absolutely ridiculous  I'm extremely POed at MSI for  the widespread K8N series problems.  I am usually very tolerant to companies when they have problems with products because I understand that problems and glitches can easily occur in mass production and design.  It is virtually impossible to make a "perfect" product from the start.  But the lack of response and concern from MSI about this is ridiculous.  MSI did make an excellent motherboard here--if you can get a working one. 

  • MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM (RAM/HD problem/mobo problem?) [SOLVED]

    my setup:
    windows xp pro sp2
    amd athlon 64 3200+
    msi k8n neo plat - 7030 - bios 2.1
    x800 xt vid
    sound blaster audigy 2
    kingston valueram pc3200 2x512 cas 3-3-3-8
    ps = antec 430 watt truepower power supply (20 A on 12V)
    I dont know if you guys remember my but i created a topic on here a while back about how my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working, well that turned out to be that the msi k8n neo platinum just went bad. So i RMA'd it and recently got the replacement board (with latest bios already installed). It worked completely fine for about a day. Well that same day i got it back, i installed a Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse. after i installed it, i began getting numerous windows stop blue screen errrors, even after i removed the mouse from control panel. So i figured i should format because to rule out everything and start fresh. So i did a FULL format and attempted the reinstall windows again. AFTER the format and BEFORE windows attempted the continue installation, i got the same stop error. I figured now this was a hardware problem. So first i tested RAM. I got the latest version of memtest86 and let it run for 4 hours (11 passes) with NO errors at all. Secondly, i got a western digital hard drive diagnostic program to test for failing hard drive and again no problems with that. I still suspected ram so i tried to boot with only 1 stick installed (in first slot), however the PC didnt boot at all (cleared cmos too). So i moved it to the second slot and cleared cmos again and this time it posted but it just hangs at a cursor and does nothing, same thing happened with third slot. I tried this same procedure clearning cmos each time with the second ram stick and got the SAME results. Shouldnt the motherboard boot with only 1 ram stick installed? Did MSI RMA me another bad board? Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

    Can you give us what the D-Bracket was showing ie
    R R
    G R
    As an example this means "Initializing Keyboard Controller"
    You will find this information in the manual page 2-23. (On mine) under Hardware Setup
    Also can you please do all your tests with the ps2 keyboard and mouse and for now leave your Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse to one side.
    Russell
    for two sticks of ram = RR
                                   GG
    for one stick of ram = GR
                                  GG
    as for the g7, it hasnt been plugged in at all, i took it out long ago.. as for the ram, the timing was set to 2T, no overclocking, i will try 2.7 v and let you know, but for the record, it has been running at normal voltage settings for about a year perfectly fine.

  • K8N Neo Platinum suggestions

    I look at the specifications of the new K8N Neo Platinum. Here is a list of what I would like to be added to it:
    1. Second LAN controller (on the PCI bus) 10/100/1000 or at least 10/100. It looks as the board is already designed that way, it is just not soldered to it.
    most important is 1. !
    maybe only 8. is near it.
    2. Remove FireWire (I doubt that this will be popular with other users )
    3. Remove SuperI/O chip (Floppy, PS/2 keyboard&mouse, COM, LPT, IrDA)
    4. DualBIOS with Flash chips connected to the nF3's LPC bus (becouse there is no SuperI/O chip - removed in point 3)
    5. I have not used this board, but I would expect fully configurable/overclockable BIOS - settings for HyperTransport MHz, bit, CPU reference clock frequency (this is the appropriate name, not FSB, not PSB, not HT, whatever - this that is 200MHz by default), AGP clock adjust (and below it - indicator for resulting PCI speed), CPU/Memory clock dividor/multipliers, indicator for Memory MHz and CPU MHz (only indicators - that speeds depends on CPU reference clock/CPU main clock), Memory timings (CAS, etc.) adjust, etc. features
    6. Diagnostic LEDs, Reset, PowerUp on board
    7. Front Panel in the package - 2xUSB, phones, microphone, 1000-in-1 FlashCards (OK, 7-in-1 is enough , 1x SerialATA with hot-swap support, Diagnostic LEDs&buttons, fan controlls &etc., IrDA if you insist not to remove the SuperI/O chip.
    8. add a Silicon Image 3114 (4 SATA ports) until nF3 gets 8 SATAs. This will be helpfull for such a configuration (appropriate for top-of-the-line "Platinum"):
    - 4ports: RAID0+1 array of HDDs
    - 2ports: two optical drives for copy-on-the-fly; SerialATA ATAPI DVD+RWs are expected this summer
    - 1port: external hot-swap drive
    - 1port: reserved for later upgrade or for second external hot-swap drive
    Anyway - congratulations about implementing all 4 SATAs of nF3 and about designing two LANs (but why don't you solder the second?)
    personal wishes (I don't think that these below will become reality on mainstream boards soon)
    - digital FM tuner on board. Anthenna connector on the back I/O plane (instead of the COM, LPT, PS/2 ports). Maybe also add second connector and digital TV tuner PAL/SECAM/NTSC. Even HDTV/PAL/SECAM/NTSC.
    - I am waiting for WirelessUSB. I think it is better than Bluetooth, becouse less different standarts are better for the health of the PC as whole. The same reason for removing FireWire.
    - I am waiting for USB3.0/960Mbps - but this is only a wish
    - I am waiting for A64 IGP chipset with DX9 - some NV34 or NV4x-lowest-end core
    - I am waiting for A64 SoundStorm APU chipset - with also 24bit/192kHz on 7+1 channels
    - I am waiting for 8+1 channel setup: two front, two side, two rear, one center front, one center back, + one subwoofer; 32bit/192kHz. 32bit audio is overkill, but "32" is much more "round than 24" . FP64 in DX9 PS/VS is the same case

    go on there lad - dont ask for much do thee :>

  • K8N Neo Platinum & Sapphire Radeon 9600

    Okay, so this issue has been addressed in a few places, but I couldn't seem to find a definitive answer.
    Is the Sapphire Radeon 9600 incompatible with the MSI K8N Neo Platinum motherboard?
    Here's my story:
    Just upgraded my case, motherboard and CPU (see sig for specs)
    Clean install of Windows XP Pro, SP2
    Installed ATI Catalyst drivers from ATI website
    Reboot and Windows Device Manager shows an error with my video card.  "The device cannot start (Code 10)"  Now this is odd because I just pulled this video card out of my old P3 system and it worked like a charm.
    Did some research on the forums, and I've tried all of the following:
    Changed AGP voltage from 1.5 -> 1.6
    Turned FastWrites on AND off
    Installed Omega drivers instead
    Used Shift-F2 & Alt-F3 in BIOS to turn off NV/ATI Speedup
    Installed new Antec PSU with 21A 12V rail (which should be more than 'nuff to just power my mobo, CPU, vid card, and hard drive, which is all I plugged in to it)
    All to no avail.  I still have the exact same problem.  Is there a fundamental incompatability issue here, or am I just doing something wrong?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Specifically, if anyone has this mobo/vid card combination, I'd like to know how you set it up and what I need to tweak.  Thanks!
    oh, I'm running BIOS v1.4  (MSI tech support told me to upgrade to latest BIOS and it'd be okay.  They lied.   :-P)

    I managed to fix my problem:
    Format C:/
    Install Windows XP
    Install Service Pack 1
    Install motherboard drivers using MSI LiveUpdate 3
    Install ATI Catalyst v.1.0.1796.585
    Celebrate when your video card works properly.
    Yell and cuss at Service Pack 2.
    Now I usually don't subscribe to the "Microsoft sucks" school, but it does seem that in this case, they were the problem.
    Anyways, it's all working now.  I just hope I don't run into the "freezing in games" problem that others have posted about.
    Thanks to both of you for your help.  I do appreciate it.

  • K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 and ram

    can K8N Neo Platinum run 3 memory dimms X 512MB DDR400 PC3200 at the same time.

    Wouldn’t it be better to look at the AMD website for there list of
    compatible Ram to use with the AMD64, because the MB Chipset
    has 0% to do with the memory, it’s all controlled by the integrated
    memory controller in the CPU.
    I understand that MSI has tested many different brands and types
    of DDR with the MSI K8N Neo Platinum, but to get the most optimal
    performance wouldn’t one want to use what AMD recommends.
    As for the integrated DDR memory controller in the AMD64, I was
    reading a article at AMD, and it stated that the AMD64 supports
    low latency Ram, so wouldn’t it be better to run the lowest latency
    Ram that one could obtain.  
    This Ram is one of the lowest latency I found so far, the new
    Corsair XMS 3200XL, with tight CL 2-2-2-5, 1T memory timings,
    which uses the new Samsung TCCD Revision F’s, 4ns, memory
    modules.  The Samsung’s are one of the DDR DRAM Modules
    that are validated by AMD to use with the AMD 64.
    The review below, states they had 100% success using the new
    Corsair XMS 3200XL in the nForce3-250, so I’m hoping that I will
    have the same results, I really don’t want to RMA them.
    Here is a review on the new: Corsair XMS 3200XL Memory

  • Question about K8N Neo Platinum and sound

    I'm experiencing "gritty" sound when using the onboard sound of the MSI K8N Neo Platinum.  Does anyone know why I'm getting this, and how to fix it?  I'm using Klipsch Promedia speakers.

    I couldn't stand the Realtek AC97 audio - it sounded thin and tinny.
    I hated it.
    I tried the nVidia drivers and the Readltek drivers, it didn't help - it sucked and there's now way to fix it.
    Do your self a favour and get a Audigy 2 ZS (less than $100) and disable the $hitty AC97 audio - much better after doing that

  • Differences k8n neo neo platinum

    Hello,
    I want to buy a k8n neo mainboard. I'm not sure to take the k8n neo PLATINUM or the k8n neo without platinum (FSR?). I'm not using raid or firewire. So what are the differences? Are there differences in performance?? Or some other things?
    And i want to buy 2 x 512MB PC3200 Crucial memory (the cheapest version) with this system. Will this work?
    greetz!  

    it's socket 754. But at the specs page (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=571) reports that the FSR has a nforce 250GB chipset. So it also has GBLan I guess??
    Futher i see no other differences than extra raid and firewire?
    BTW. the reason of my 'confusion' is that i can't find reviews or something of the FSR. It's only platinum, platinum, platinum.... but that platinum is almost 20 euro's more expensive then the FSR, so I think i can better chose the FSR.. or not?
    BTW2. it's not my own system, but for someone else. I still have an athlon64 monster   I have to advise him which motherboard to take, but he wants a nvidia..

  • K8N Neo-FSR ~= K8N Neo Platinum

    May have to replace my motherboard -  a K8N Neo Platinum. Have seen the K8N Neo-FSR, from its spec I assume it is the same, apart from only 2 rather than 3 Ram slots?
    Thanks

  • The same old problem with temperatures (K8N Neo Platinum)

    I have problems since bios v1.0 on my K8N Neo Platinum with temeparutes.
    I have installed a Prometeia Mach II St colling unit
    I Tested the v1.0 official bios, the temperature was allways -65º full ou idle, what it is impossivel.
    In the moment i flashed the bios to v1.2b5, temperature changed to 49º, and I did not move in nothing. The same temperature appears in all bios since v1.2b5. Now I have the v1.4b2 bios
    Sorry the Bad English

    Here are the instructions to reflash the BIOS for your K8 Neo. I am currently running ver.1.4 with little problems. My only snafu is the LED for my optical mouse stays lit even when system is off, however I have no RAID, Ethernet, onboard sound, or SATA drives. I have just a simple basic system, and I don't overclock. My board is the K8 Neo Platinum socket 754, with an AMD64 3000+. YOU MUST HAVE A FLOPPY DRIVE CONNECTED TO SYSTEM FOR THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO WORK!.
    Flashing BIOS on K8 Neo per MSI. READ ALL instructions before starting.
    1.Check your BIOS for flashing protection and disable it.
    2. Know your board model#. a. Open case and find model# on the board between the PCI slots, or b., boot system and at first DOS screen you will see 'W7030ver1.4122101'. This means you have a MSI model 7030 motherboard with BIOS version 1.4 issued on 12/21/01.
    3.Download the Bios that matches your motherboard model and version#.(I believe the Neo Plat had two versions, 1.0 and 1.1). I have 1.0. It will be found between the PCI slots. Create a folder on C: drive labeled 'C:\TEST'
    4.EXtract the BIOS file to C:\TEST folder.
    5.Create a boot floppy. For XP, at Desktop double click My Computer, right click floppy drive, click Format to format the disk, then click 'Create MS-DOS Boot Disk'.
    6. Set boot order to floppy. Hit F11 to select boot device.
    7. Insert boot floppy and restart system.
    8. At A:\ prompt type in the following,
    C:\ (enter)
    cd\TEST(enter)
    awdfl833c(space)w7030nms.130
    The w7030nms.130 is the BIOS file name you downloaded to C:\TEST. Keep in mind you're dealing with DOS file names, so you may need to open a DOS window in Windows, and search C drive for the TEST folder and write down the DOS file name of the BIOS file BEFORE you start the BIOS update.
    9. Reboot when prompted. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to update the BIOS.

  • Msi k8n neo platinum - The 1394 delete from bios device list

      hi.
    the line where 1394 was is now empty , i try everything i flash the bios and stuff
    no luck for me???
    it look like the 1394 onboard conroller is dead?

    A thread here , from when 1.56 appeared:
    MSI K8N Neo Plat Beta Bios 1.56
    and when 1.55 appeared:
    New Bios For MSI K8N Neo Platinum [ 1.55]
    Seems to me that the 1.5x series were focused on chipset timings and ram .
    Another thing is that i can boot from a usb pen with this one .(never got it to work with others) .
    Beta bioses don't come with a changelog , they leak out . So any complete
    list of changes is not possible to provide.
