Wheres this K8N Diamond Plus bios V1.16?

I cant recall who said they had this bios here in the forums but I can only find bios 1.0 for this MB?

I have a copy and am using it, it does not do to many thing up front, but there are a few changes I BIOS parameters, but it still set the memory module default in correctly, at lest it does for my memory.  Also, some random unexplained error messages no longer pop up during boot.  In addition, my system is running solid.
Send me a personal message with your e-mail address and I will send you a copy.  V1.16 comes with no grantee it will do any thing for you 
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. 
Thanks RogerP, I pm you.

  • K8N Diamond Plus BIOS problems

    Hi , just replaced my lanpartyUT sli-dr expert with K8N Diamond Plus mobo and having problems allready :D
    Just finished overclocking and now running at (250 x 11 x 800mhz x 1.300v+0.2v x dram/fsb 1/1 x 2.80v)
    Memory timings --> (3,7,14,3,2,8,2,2,1,3,200mhz(15.6us),1,16x,7x,7ns,5ns,0clk,DiCC:enabled,1T,8beats,reduce 00%... ...)
    The problem is "BOOT" related... System is PRIME95 stable , but still when trying to "restart windows" or "reset" the system wont BOOT !!?
    When i shutdown and then power up, the system boots perfectly !? What can cause this kind of behaviour :/
    I have OC:d quite many systems , but this is new even to me

    The windows core program shows htt link 1000mhz exact. Memory settings are all "manually" adjusted. Cpu vcore is 1.300 & extra voltage 0.2v=1.5v.
    All ECC options are disabled.Hdd:s adjusted manually. Should i rise the (NB) voltage , or does that have anything to do with this !? Maybe not at 250fsb only :D Cool & quiet is disabled naturally :/ All fan controls disabled , connected directly to psu. No D.O.T,s or anything automatic overclocking enabled. The (L cache & data cache scrubs) are strange to me, so those are disabled.After flashed bios , enabled boot sector protection. All the mobo power connectors are in use (24pin+8pin+4pin) Could it be that the memory modules should be used on ports 3 & 4 (now on 1 & 2) ??

  • K8N Diamond Plus- bios freeze & question about temp/voltage monitor

    A weird issue I had right after I setup my mobo last night was that I could not access the "PC Health" portion of the bios.  If I tried selecting it, it would just freeze.  Is this a known issue?  I'm hoping a bios update may solve this one.  Does anyone know anything about this?

    Well I was mostly just asking if this was a known issue, so I guess "no" is all the answer I need...  Now, what would be my best solution?  I am assuming bios update, is there anything else that I should consider?
    But if it helps, as I said its a brand new build, so I'm running the default bios. 1.00.  My other components are:  Silverstone Zeus 560w, 2GB of G.Skill pc4000, Raptor 74gb, 7900gtx, Opteron 165.
    Also, since my other thread was locked (I figured seperating two different topics would make it easier for people to respond to specific questions, I apologize,) here's my other question pasted:
    "I just set up my new system with this motherboard (K8N Diamond Plus,) an Opteron 165, Scythe Mine heatsink, and a Silverstone Zeus 560w. Its these components that lead to my question-
    I am getting temps of about 31C idle, 41C load.  Nice temps yes, but I'm not sure how accurate those are.  That means that it is idling at 86F in a room that was probably in the high 70's, maybe 80.  Seems a little too good to be true, but then again, I am used to Intel's furnace-like temps   
    Its the voltage reading that has me a bit more concerned though.  Corecenter is reading my +5v as 5.36v, and my +12v as 12.28v.  The +3.3v is reading about spot-on at 3.33v.  I'm hoping that someone else who has this motherboard can tell me this- are the readings in Corecenter for this motherboard generally accurate, and should I be concerned about this?"
    Thanks for any help you can give.  No sig yet because I just registered an hour ago, I'll work on it.

  • K8N Diamond Plus BIOS Bootmanager?

    On my old DFI Nforce3 board I had a feature that was really handy. At boot I could hit escape and then choose the drive I want to boot from in a quick popup menu. Does the K8N Diamond Plus have a simmular feature? I find this to be very usefull becasue I dual boot x64 and x32 winxp and not having to deal with software bootmanagers was really nice. Honestly it was the only nice thing that DFI board had 

    Thank you

  • K8N Diamond Plus Bios problem solved ;-))

    Thanx for the advices related to my previous topic. The system is 100% stable now , the problem was bios protection & cpu vcore related 
    I noticed that i had forgot to enable the bios protection after flashing and enabled it, now the system boots every time normally 
    The cpu vcore was messed up too.. i changed the 1.300v+0.2v to 1.400v+0.1v and it works now, the vcore is now 1.524v and i just primed another 24hours 
    Oh i almost forgot, i have to give extra credit to MSi from making this EXELLENT board    i tought that my previous "lanpartyUT nf4 sli-dr expert" board was good, but this mobo has deffinetly shown DFi its place 

    No , the bios (boot) sector/virus  protection is not so important.. Just noticed that my "FORTRON" epsilon 700w PSU was the main problem... You guys can imagine starting a 2X 7900gtx , x-fi fatality and 6hdd:s powered system with a psu that has only ("15A") 12v rails     
    When booting to OS , the monitor shuts down because theres not enough power to feed even the 7900gtx cards  still the system boots, but
    thats not a good sign... Just ordered the TAGAN 1,1KW PSU !!! its has 20A 12v rails..GOD DAMNED if thats not enough... 

  • K8N Diamond Plus BIOS Beep

    Is it normal for the BIOS to beep once when the system starts up?  I thought when I built it, it never beeped but after I got it settled in my room it beeps upon starting it up with the BIOS screen still showing.  Help!  Thanks in advanced.

    Quote from: SHAOMO on 29-June-06, 06:45:50
    I unplugged all of my USB connections and it didn't beep when it started up.  However, I have found a very peculiar quark.  I have a Logitech G15 Keyboard and when I start up my computer with it plugged in, it will cause the BIOS to give me the initial one beep saying I have USBs connected, but then I receive what sounds like a long followed by 2 short.  It's so weird.  It only does it when my keyboard is plugged in.  You guys ever hear of this?  Is there a fix for this?  Update BIOS maybe?
    . . . . . just as Zuidema is stating about,  ..... i too, have those kybrd's; i have fixed my system's from these beep's >>>>> i just unplugged the "speaker's" from both system's and now i have no more of those irritating beep's to deal with at boot up.............but this is only " my " way of a fix for my system's..... ............

  • K8n diamond plus bios 1.10, 1.20 problem

    I recently updated my bioss to 1.10 and then 2 days later the 1.20 came out but both gave me the same problem, my pc does not switch off anymore, what happens is that I tell it to shut down, it switches off for 5 seconds then turns itself back on.
    What cold it be? please help. ???

    I also have had 3 isolated incidents where that has happened, I resolved it bye removeing the cmos battery for 1/2 hour! Btw did either of you guys notice that when you press the clear cmos battery button that it didnt clear the time/date?  Maybe it's just my board! anything that easy usualy doesnt work as well as the manual method.

  • 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.

    geez guys, can't believe you haven't spoted the mistake yet. 
    first, the newcastle is socket 754, there is no newcastle core for socket 939.
    k8n diamond plus doesn't have a 3.09 BIOS.
    so iostream, please make sure that you get the details correctly.

    I have the same motherboard with 4GB Ram. I had to enable the memory hole in the memory configuration of the bios for it to see the full 4GB. However, Windows 32-bit will not show the full 4GB ram since 32-bit addressing limit is 4GB and all your peripherals have to be included like vid card memory, etc. So don't beat your head against your desk once you get your bios seeing the 4GB and Windows 32-bit doesn't. My Vista gives 2.8GB ram of my 4GB, some get more, but I know I have two video cards with 768MB ram also. I'm using 1.2 bios.
    Incidently, I ordered an OEM Vista X64, it will be interesting to see if it sees all my memory since 64-bit can go up to enormous addressing ranges.
    Good Luck

  • MSI K8N Diamond PLUS e AMD Opteron 185

    Hi
    I have a MSI K8N Diamond PLUS (bios v.1.2), from the website the AMD Opteron 180 2.4 GHz socket 939 is compatible with the board.
    No compatibility info about  the cpu AMD Opteron 185 2.6 GHz socket 939. These 2 cpu are very very similar (only different clock).
    Do you know if it's really compatible with MSI K8N Diamond PLUS
    Thanks in advance

    It will work fine but isn't officially supported. Therefor post screen could show "unknown processor" but that's all.

  • K8N Diamond Plus: I LOVE THIS MB!!

    I'm not a huge overclocker...but I soon will be. Sorry i just had to give major props to msi this time around..im spending way too much time with this thing and my gf is getting jealous

    Quote from: nthexwn on 03-February-06, 11:44:39
    Mine is being a major pain in the arse!
    It refuses to recognize my Corsair XMS PC3200 memory as anything but DDR333.  I've tried tinkering around with the BIOS several times but it either locks up (thank god for the CMOS reset switch) or doesn't change anything when I reset the frequency (by the way what the heck is with the numbers after the 133, 166, 200mhz, etc. options under the manual memory timings?  The ones that say "us" after them.  Is that microseconds?).  I've even tried overclocking it through the BIOS with no luck and then I tried overclocking it in Windows with Ntune (which MSI seems to have butchered support for) and finally with Corecell which is being stupid and won't let me do any overclocking but the D.O.T options.  I had the K8N Neo2 Platinum a while ago and I had control over the FSB with Corecell on that motherboard.  When I try to adjust the memory frequency in the BIOS it just gives me ratio options.  When I set it to 1/1 with a 200mhz FSB it STILL only runs at DDR333.  I'm not even allowed to force the damn thing!  Also, all of those smaller memory timings are nice to have, but I don't understand them all and it forces you to set some of them to settings other than auto if you want to, say, change the command timing from 2T to 1T (which I still haven't been able to do without a lockup).  On top of that, the SPD is detecting different timings EVERY TIME I RESET CMOS.  I seriously need a newbie mode where it just lets me adjust the 4 standard timings (my memory supports 2,2,2,5 at DDR400 in dual channel but this motherboard doesn't friggin' understand that!), frequency, voltage, and command timing, but instead I have to deal with all of these obscure timings that I've never heard of, and when I get them wrong I have to start all over again.  The documentation is sparse at best and the amateur English that MSI speaks in all of their documentation is infuriating.  I swear my purchasing decisions will be based on comprehension of the English language by the company that I'm purchasing from rather than actual product quality in the future.
    I'm about to go nuclear...  I'm going to do some browsing here as I assume that I'm not alone on this issue?
    No signature yet so here are my system specs:
    -MSI K8N Diamond Plus
    -AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice)
    -1Gb (2x512) Corsair XMS PC3200 PRO (2,2,2,5)
    -Raidmax 460W PSU (Only 14Amps on +12v, new power supply due for delivery on the 6th)
    -MSI NX7800GT
    -WD2500JS
    -Don't think other components are related to issues
    OMG buddy !!  R U KIDDING ME....why the **** would u even get this board if you dont even know the first thing about overclocking....i suggest you educate yourself first then start asking questions...I think this board is too big for your britches...you should definitely stick with a nice and simple intel board especially if you dont even know how to put the ram into dual channel mode(do a search buddy its there!! the search button on the top of this page isnt just for looks!!!).....geeez how do you expect to do anything else..i'm just scared that you'll fry your board before you even get a  chance to enjoy it...i have the same board and  have no problems running 2 gigs pc 3200 (running dual channel), using ntune, manipulating the FSB or anything else...what the hell r u doing using core cell to overclock ...if your going to over clock dont pussy around fiddling with that thing...Do everything manually!! ...get cpuz get everest or something ...OMG ... PLEAASE for the sake of the board DO SOME RESEARCH

  • MSI K8N Diamond Plus - Guide to my first week

    OK, not a newb here, but been around the block quite a bit.   MSI K8N Diamond Plus is my 5th A64 mobo (ECS K8M800, my daily undestroyed computer, K8T800, my 12 year olds gamer, Asus A8V Deluxe, first 939 system, Abit AN8 SLI, first SLI gamer, and now the MSI Diamond Plus).   Had the KDP (K8N Diamond Plus) for more than a week now, and here's what I've learned.
    This is state of the art again, and we have no one to blame but ourselves for the pain this causes us when we upgrade like lunatics 
    And as usual, the drivers and BIOS are al Dente (i.e. not cooked enought yet, a little raw)
    MSI is also oddly silent on this system, which is wierd, as they are a large company, and specifically cater to enthusiasts.  But their BIOS guys are MIA.  Hopefully this will not be forever.  Asus, ABIT, DFI, Epox are always fast with fixes
    The board is a nice design, with everything basically accessible, as much as any other board.   Lots of purposeful components, not too many dumb frills.  No tooty fruity colors, but rather practical parts.
    The new 2 piece NForce chipset is fine, and the MSI guys gave us a decent, but funky cooler.  It gets a little warm to the touch when you pound on it with Prime95, or Quake4, but other than that it is fine
    The manual has a zillion typos, and fortunately for us in this forum, we have shared what we've learned.  The translation from Chinese to English leaves quite a bit to be desired, and hopefully, MSI will learn from Asus and Abit and get a better translation service.  In 2006 this is just plain stupid, especially with a $225 board   
    As usual, the mobo supplied tweaker utilities are just aweful.  They look like a hallucination from a Hunter S Thompson book, and they work about as well.  Core center is a sad state of affairs, and the rest of them just burrow their way into your otherwise stable system and cause it to have poor behavior.  And therefore as usual, the BIOS is the best way, if slowest, to tweak this bundle of parts
    Which brings us to the BIOS.  IMHO, the worst one I've seen on a high end board.  ZERO explanation for half the settings (this is not strange in and of itself, BIOS is still a black art, but in a tweakers board, we should have some basic explanation  )
    There seem to be adequate settings in the BIOS for all sorts of doodads and gizmos, but who the heck knows what half of them are.  Roger points out rightfully, that we now need to "Tune" across all these different intermediary bus structures and test.  But with the lack of info from either NVidia, MSI or anyone else for that matter, its kinda hard to know where to start.
    The board is clearly sensitive, which is a result of it being high strung.  This is no different than any "first out" product I've ever bought.  Most take 2 or 3 turns of the crank to get totally stable and forgiving.  This one hated my OCZ platinum EL 2Gb kit memory, and it brought out the worst in one of the SLI based EVGA 7800 GT COs.   These components worked in the Abit AN8 SLI (although not always great), but the MSI has ZERO tolerance for even the slightest pertubation from the memory.  It was BSOD city until I removed both of these components by process of elimination that took probably 100 hours
    Once I removed the bad components, and replaced the memory with Geil Ultra X 2x512 2-2-2-5, it worked great, ran Prime95 for 10 hours with no errors, and seems reasonably stable.  I've RMA-d the bad 7800GT CO back to EVGA, and will report back on how SLI behaves when I get the new one (cross shipped of course, I haveno patience )
    I also now need to replace the 2Gb RAM kit with something that the board will tolerate.  I may RMA the 2Gb kit back to OCZ and try another one, but I dunno.   I love OCZ but I have a bad feeling about this, even though they have great!!! support.  I may try OCZ PC4000 or the RAM that Roger successfully used.
    I did upgrade to the 1.16 BIOS, and found that some new things were added, as well as voltage control in Cell was a little better, but registration of changes in voltage is still a disaster.   I adjusted a bunch of times, it didn't register, and I ended up smoking a new A64 3700+ Diego with 1.95 volts, even though the BIOS claimed it was 1.53.  I had to rebot to see what was going on.   The Thermalright XP-90 kept the proc from melting down through the earth
    Finally, I hope this board attracts more people, and therefore more tweakers that can figure out all these gadgets and settings.  Everyone flocked to the Asus X16 SLI product, which is too bad, as this one needs lots o' folks to hack it up for us to figure out what is going on.
    The on board Creative audio sounds lousy to my ears, and I will replace it with an Audigy 2ZS gamer that I had in the Abit.  It just sounds better, but hopefully the drivers will not trash my newly stable system.   Creative scares me, they scare me alot.
    I've been able to get the CPU up to 2.4Ghz, with a .5 volt bump to the CPU and 2.9 volts into the Geil memory.  So far, so stable, no smoke coming out yet 
    I hope this info is somewhat valuable to someone on this board.  I will post details of all changes that I make, as others are doing, so we can at least take care of ourselves with this thing.

    first of all, i do think that all the settings in the BIOS have an explanation in the manual, even if it's a basic one. if that explanation doesn't tell you everything in detail, is because if you do need a detailed explanation of the settings, you probably shouldn't be messing around with those settings.

    wanna tell me how did you get 1.95V on that mobo?

    a 0.5V  bump? again, you must be joking. maybe 0.05V.

    The new build has already been purchased and is in transit, so info would be greatly appreciated.
    I a$$umed 620W Liberty with 12v combined @ 36A is over blown.
    That is until I found this site. Still shaking my head at the high amperage needed for this type of bleeding edge tech.
    I’m just stunned that (2) 12v 22A rails are considered underpowered…
    So any one have any success with this woefully <sarcasm ON> under powered cheap <sarcasm OFF> Enermax 620?
    I really need the power and drive connectors, but most of the 26A PS would have too narrow of a head room.
    I am well over budget, and the peripherals should be here for a weekend build.
    Hoping folks with the Diamond plus and Enermax ELT620 could please post experiences.
    Not sure if the second MoBo power plug works off the “other” rail, since I have not even seen this PS or K8N Plus.
    Of course, I will post results.
    Thank you for your time

    In most cases it should be just fine. The only area where it may fall over in is DLI'ing two of the bigger Vid cards. The reason is in how dual rails split the power. As far as anyone can tell the best solution for SLI'ing two high amp vid cards is still with a single rail PSU. Outside of that the Liberty should be fine by all I can tell without trying it myself. That won't happen though as I gave up on Enermax due to the fact that I want Dual High Draw Vid cards and they simply don't fit that bill in my book any longer. Either you get Dual Rails from them or the wrong cable sets. That is why I went to OCZ.
    Your milage may vary.

  • 3 ea MSI K8N Diamond Plus will not POST

    I have 3 K8N Diamond Plus motherboards that recently started having intermittent problems POSTing to BIOS. I initially found it possible to boot by clearing CMOS and reentering my settings; however, over time these boards have gotten to where they will not POST at all. Power comes up, but the four-LED diagnostic display stays continuously red, indicating no BIOS activity. Ideally, I'd like to get my hands on a service manual for this board, but if anyone can throw out common issues with this board as a starting point, that would be great.  All of these boards have been in service for more than 3 years in 3 different machines. The failure appears to have identical symptoms. I would bet the component that has failed is common to all 3 boards. It seems other people are having the very same problem with these boards over several years of service. I have tried all of the usual troubleshooting tactics with no success. Thanks!

     Check for bulging, leaking, ruptured capacitors near CPU socket.

  • 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.
