Where are the K8N Diamond Plus Boards

I ordered my board from Tiger Last week.  Was told they on back orderd...
Went to newegg.com  .... out of stock.
Checked about 3 other places I go and they are out of stock.  I want a retail box for the MSI Warrantee and all the extras they give you with the board.
Is there a problem with production??

Those are not OEM....no way....as MSI doesn't make Diamond Plus OEM boards.....
However, MSI does warrant those boards in full if you can show a proof-of-purchase.
These are NOT OEM.
Anyway, if you don't need the cables and stuff, it's a good deal.
OEM boards have different numbers and BIOS, they are not the same.
If what you said is true, and if I could "buy" the plate for the back of the computer I would do it. 
Here is my last chat with Newegg.com
Chat InformationPlease wait while we connect you to a Newegg representative. You are number 2 in the queue.
Chat InformationThank you for contacting Newegg. My name is Allen. How may I assist you today?
Tim: Item #: N82E16813130037R says OEM but MSI does NOT make this board in an OEM version. Is it just safe to assume they are open boxes or retruns?
Allen: this is an open box item/refurbished
Tim: ok, is it possable then that it would come with all the cables and stuff?
Allen: no Sir, just by itself
Allen: has only 15 days for a refund
Allen: no guaranty from manufacturer
Tim: would it be coverd by the MSI 3 year warantee
Allen: I am afraid no
Tim: errr. and if you send it back for a refund is there a "restocking fee?"
Allen: contact us with a reason and we will waive that fee for you
Tim: thanks for your time Allen
Allen: Welcome

  • 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.

  • 2 'problems' with the K8N Diamond Plus

    Hi there.
    I just bought a K8N Diamond Plus and I'm having some troubles installing my system in conjunction to my Decklink Extreme PCI-E ( http://www.decklink.com/products/sd/ ).
    Here's my configuration:
    MSI K8N Diamond Plus
    AMD64 X2 4400+
    ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA
    Decklink Extreme PCI-E
    2GB  RAM ( 2 x 1gb) Kingston
    OCZ-520 12U Modstream Power Supply
    plus 6 HD's (7200rpm) and 1 DVD-+RW
    The problem is, when I try to initialize the system with the Decklink, which it's a PCI-E 1x, it just don't boot. Neither putting the Decklink on the 1x, nor in the 4x slot and nor in the 16x.
    The Decklink is working just fine in another system and doesn't seem to be a problem with this card.
    I wondered if there's any limitation in the K8N Diamond Plus with working with the ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA plus the Decklink.
    =======================
    The other thig is that when I take off the Decklink, the system boots normaly but a message appears while booting: "Not enough space to copy PCI option ROM 00:13:00".
    And I don't have a clue about what's going on.
    =======================
    Please enlighten me with this questions if possible.
    Thank you very much.
    Greets.
    Igor Bineli

    Remove the battery away for 10 minutes, clear CMOS, start the system to load setup/optimized defauts in bios setup. After that, disable all onboard items in bios setup that you won't to use.  Save and exit.
    Plug ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA card,  and start your system to check if there is the error message. If there is, borrow another brand VGA card to do a test.
    Besides, update your MB bios and driver version to the latest one.

  • Apparently the K8N Diamond Plus doesn't exist.

    Something's wrong here...
    ...But at least they've got cool blinking arrows next to the selection tree!
    I'm so sick of companies that live in fantasyland...

  • Clicks with K8N Diamond Plus

    Guys,
    Maybe some one here can solve this one.
    As you can see in my sig: I have a K8N Diamond Plus board and I love it! Rest of the specs are in my sig as well. I have a weird thing with it for some time, but it seems to be getting worse or, putting it right, it occurs more and more.
    The pc is running just fine. Sometimes there's coming two clicks out of the case, about 1/2 a second after each other. It sounds like a mechanical something, but I'm unable to locate where it comes from. The pc simply keeps on working. No hangs, no BSOD's, it's fine. The only thing is that the sound is interupted shortly with each click.
    To make it visible:
    ------------------click-----click-------------
    - = computer noise
    # = music playing
    When I watch a movie, the same happens. Video-playback, however, isn't interupted at all.
    Does anyone have any suggestion what this could be?
    Thanks!
    Hans
    PS: I had a simular setup first with the K8T Neo2 board. The problem never occured with that board, so I asume it's the mobo that's doing this somehow.

    Quote from: Hans on 20-December-06, 18:37:28
    Well, I'm unable to find any problems. There's no data losses or whatever.
    @Bosskiller: are you saying that this could be normal?
    Do you know if WD Raptors make this sound? Or maybe Seagate Barcuda's (SATA-II)?
    The more I try to locate the sound, it looks like it's one of the Raptors (or both).
    yes sound normal for me, for Raptor don't know, for seagate think no, HITACHI(my currently doing the same), and Maxtor(DM 9 got before also making click/click)

  • I need help DDR voltage and latencies (K8N Diamond Plus)

    I noticed my DDR voltage was incorrect in the bios and I don't know what "Auto" is doing with my timings. I have 2GB of Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2 DDR400 Memory installed on DIMM1 and DIMM2 of my K8N Diamond Plus board.
    So far I've made the following changes (as my RAM's specs indicate) in the BIOS but I'm new to this (first build).
    DDR Voltage 2.75V
    CAS  2.0
    tRCD 3
    tRP   3
    tRAS 6
    I left everything else at it's default setting. Are there any other changes I should make?

    Quote from: memeticvirus on 14-May-06, 15:41:10
    I'm having an issue with the 1.10 BIOS that is preventing me from manualy setting the timings...The problem I'm having right now is deciding what BIOS to install and where to download it. Perhaps you could help me with that?
    With pleasure!  I had the same problem with the v1.10 BIOS, as did another member here.  I flashed BACK to the v1.0 BIOS (make sure to use the command line switched (just run the batch file)) and was able to set timings, and then I flashed directly to the 3.0A BIOS and was able to adjust timings still.  See my old thread here.
    For my success (I don't know if any or all of these influenced it, but I'm just happy it works) in flashing I did the following:
    Download the 1.0 (original) and 3.0A (latest "official") BIOS images from MSI's support site.
    Downloaded the DrDos BIOS flash bootable ISO CD image from bootdisk.com
    Used my ISO software to add the BIOS image files onto the ISO image.
    Burned the ISO to CD.
    Booted from the CD
    Flashed to 1.0
    Cut Power (flipped PSU switch in back), held down the CMOS reset switch button on the mobo and the power button for 45 seconds.
    Powered up, set "Optimized Defaults" and set memory voltage to 2.75v and rebooted.
    Set all "normal" BIOS parameters (boot devices, et al).
    Windows (x64) loaded with no issues, Everest reported timings appropriately
    Did the same procedure for the 3.0A BIOS, with similar success. 
    You can see my post or click on the link in my sig for detailed memory reports.

    Are you running just one set of TWINX2048-3200C2's?
    Just one pair.  I fiddled with the CR and the only result was with the single known good DIMM my latency got slightly slower (like a 5ns drop), but still no love with 2 DIMMS.  I think it is just dead.  But this is not my story (at least not in this thread)...this is memticvirus's story. 

  • 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.
    Roger
    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. 

  • MSI-K8N Diamond Plus - which memory?

    Hello,
    I will soon buy the K8N Diamond PLus motherboard. For that motherboard, I have selected the following memory: Corsair 512 Mo DDR-SDRAM PC3200 CMX Cas-2. But I can not find if this is ok for this type of motherboard. Does someone knows something about that?  ???
    Thx in advance! 

    Marlysa,
    I would suggest that you stay away from the corsair xms ram as i figured the sme thing when I built my system, that it,s Corsair and its the #1 selected ram and usualy the most compatible, But this is not the case with this motherboard it's very picky about hardware pretty much the same as DFI board's!!!
    Of course the CORSAIR WEBSITE will tell you this they want youre money!!!!!! Their certainly not going to reccomend OCZ MEMMORY that's for sure!!!!!
    Please reconsider youre decision as I myself have traveled down that road you about to take. Personaly I love Corsair ram and i certainly wont bash it, but  get the OCZ5002048ELGEGXT-K  it cost me $213.00 wth tax for 2 gigs instead of $160.00 with tax for the corasir xms 2- 512 sticks Believe me you will be thankful that you took my suggestion!!!!! with the new 1.20 BIOS at optimized default's it posts and configures itself automatically where as befor you would usealy have to configure it manually in bios to get it to post at 500mhz believe me this OCZ MEMORY ROCKS!!!!
    Save youreself alot of this....      BUY IT!!!!!!
                                                                                                 Brother Esau
    P.S just check around the forum their's alot of peop[le that have issues with the  DIAMOND PUS AND CORSAIR RAM.
                                                                                                       

  • K8N Diamond Plus & Asus EN7800GT Dual ?

    Howdy!
    Bought one of the Asus Dual 7800GT graphics cards (two GPUs on one board) and was using it with the Asus SLIx16 mobo, the A8N32-Sli.  Problem with using that motherboard is that the card only worked properly on the bottom PCIe socket (furthest from the CPU) - when using it in the top PCIe socket, only one of the two GPUs registered in Device Manager.
    I figured I'd switch over to the K8N Diamond Plus and see if that works better (I'm only considering SLIx16 mobos, as my plan is to get another of these cards later on and experiment with Quad GPUs, hence the need for the extra PCI lanes) - has anyone tried this motherboard with the Asus card? 

    Quote from: pibrahim on 25-January-06, 21:46:50
    That's very odd, that MSI boards work so differently from Asus. 
    Problem is that the dual-GPU card won't work properly in the top slot and I really needed it to be in the bottom.  Not sure what exactly I can do about that now...
    Toms hardware did a review on this.
    The card shows up in the primary slot as 1 gpu, then you add a second card it shows up as a 3 gpu system.  THe first card says 1 gpu, but operates as a two gpu.
    Look up the card on new egg, there is a link to the reviews of it some where in there.

  • K8N Diamond Plus/Lian Li v1000

    Has anyone actually installed the K8N Diamond Plus in a Lian Li v1000 to verify any cooling problems?  I have a v1000 Case and I just ordered the Diamond Plus.  I hope I didn't make a mistake!

    Quote from: Plumbergeek on 22-February-06, 05:21:43
    Hey kenito443 ,
    I noticed your stacker 830, Do you like it? I was leaning toward the Lian Li they are discussing here until I saw the CM Stacker 830.
    Plumbergeek
    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, 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 water cooling if i wanted that option in the future, and the tool less feature for the cm stacker was a lot more appealing and it has its own proprietary hard drive noise reduction and cooling doohickey. Also, the mb has this cool pull out tray and the PSU rail is really easy to accomadate 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 for 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.

  • K8N Diamond Plus 2x16... Arrival Imminent?

    I noticed a strange thing when I was looking/pricing for my next mobo - SLI, naturally.  I know that the Diamond Plus 2x16 isn't out yet but I thought I'd have a look just to "ballpark" my budget (Merry Chirstmas to me ) & I noticed something odd.
    There is not a MSI SLI board to be had anywhere from 3 of the "BIG" sites that I've shopped so far - NewEgg, ZipZoomFly or Monarch. It is quite unusual for all to be out of a particular product at the same time. The single PCI-e boards are available at all 3, however.
    Hopefully, this means that the K8N Diamond Plus 2x16 SLI is about to "hit the street"...
    Just my contribution to the rumor mill.

    Quote from: Tiresmoke on 26-November-05, 00:20:47
    When you get one maybe you could take a couple close up pics of that new chipset cooler. I think it looks pretty nice but MSI did not post a good closeup of it so that folks could really get a gist of what it is.
    It would also be pretty cool to get some compairison between how well it works versus the existing cooling solution.
    Looks like a heatpipe thing... similiar to what some others are starting to use.
    From what I've read, they can work pretty well - as long as there is sufficient air moving through your case that is. If not much air is flowing they supposedly get pretty damned hot. That might be something that people running watercooling might take note of, if they're not running fans in their cases.
    In any event, if I had one in front of me right now ready to install, the first thing I'd do is completely remove it to see if there's a good amount of thermal goo... & then promptly replace it with Artic Silver.
    I've checked, then replaced the thermal compound with AS on every new board that I've gotten before installing since my ABIT days - at the time they were putting little or no compound on the chipset. Good thing it's become a habit - there wasn't exactly what I'd call a copious amount on my Neo either. Anyway, there's always benefits to doing that straight out of the box for obvious reasons.

  • K8N Diamond Plus boot problems

    I just built a new computer and it was working fine for about a month.  Then one morning when I started it up it wouldn't turn on.  The front LED's turn on, and the fans all start, but nothing ever shows up on the screen.  The set of four lights on the back show  R R
                                                                                                    G G
    Nothing has changed since the pc was working fine.  I haven't changed any bios settings or added any hardware or software.  I did try resetting the bios using the CMOS jumper, but this didn't change anything.  The lights on the back show that it is initializing ide drivers, but in the manual it also shows that it is one of the last steps in the start-up process, so i would think that the memory check, processor count, msi logo ect. should appear on the screen like it normally does.  However, the LED that blinks when the hard drive is active never lights up, but when i open the case and feel the hard drive i can feel it vibrating like it is functioning properly.  And if it is a hardrive failure, then shouldn't the bios still start up and show up on the monitor?  I have heard that many weird problems can be attributed to the psu, but I have a 500w Antec Smartpower 2.0, which is a pretty reliable psu from what i've heard.  Any help or suggestions would be welcome.  Also, how would i test individual components to find out what is causing the problem?  I think since everything is within a couple of months old i should be able to get replacements.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    You guys are awesome!  Thanks a bunch for the info on ram, I feel like I understand it better and I looked and found all the stuff in the bios that you guys were talking about.  I'm downloading speedfan currently and will go install it on my other computer.  I tried swapping the sticks of memory, but i ran into the same problem i did before.  So i'm assuming that i can safely say one stick is faulty right?  And do any of you guys have any experience trying to get replacement memory from crucial?  I'll have to go poke around their website also.  Well, thank you all so much for all of your help.  This is my first home built pc and i'm trying to learn alot about them.  Once everything is running properly i may try a little overclocking, but i'd like to get everything running smoothly first.  Just out of curiosity, what would make a stick of ram go bad like that?  It was only a month old, and i thought crucial xms was pretty good ram.  Is it not? or did i just get unlucky?
           Thanks a ton for all the answers, this forum is the most helpful one i've ever seen.  thanks!
    Maybe that you're unlucky to get those faulty RAM. Crucial RAM is not bad if you get the better performance if you're ocing your PC if or else get the value RAM if you don't oced.

    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.

  • K8N Diamond Plus shutdown issue

    I am running the K8N Diamond Plus with bios 1.2
    3500+ <stock ghz>
    2x1gb corsair
    1 74gb raptor
    1 7900GT 256
    2 samsung dvd burners
    OCZ520ADJSLI powersupply
    2 case fans
    Recently, my powersupply went out and i ordered a new one.. same model...when i hooked it up and turned on the computer, Windows loaded, i logged and shortly after i logged in, the computer shutdown... like, no blue screen, no reboot... it just turned off like it was shuttingdown or someone pulled the power cord.
    confused, i hit the power button and the computer turned back on, but this time, it barely made it to the login screen and it shut off again.. each time, i would turn it on, it would shut off sooner than the previsous time.  so i stripped everything out.. no fans, no hd, do dvds, different ram, same cpu, same vid card.  This time i just booted to the bios.  at 30 seconds it turned off. i turned it back on. at 23 seconds it shut off, i turned it back on. at 15 seconds it shut off, i turned it back on... it got to the point that as soon as i would hit the power button, it would shut off...
    thinking that i could of possible received a bad power supply, i hooked it up to a different mother board.  this system did not shut off.
    any ideas on what could be going on?  unfortunatly at this time i do not have another power supply to test on this board. I will pick one up if people think the power supply could be the problem. 
    thanks in advance!!

    hello, sound like a bad new psu to me did you plug in both mobo connectors? do you have a volt meter to ck psu outputs might try that. another psu would be the next thing to try.  good luck Henry
