Which bios to DL? Is my board a Diamond or not?

My box says I have a Neo4 Plat. SLI.   The board says Diamond on it, and has dual LANS....but does not have the extra fan.   
Anyway I can tell which board this is?  I'm wondering which bios to DL......seeing as how there are two different ones, one for the Diamond and one for the Plat.
This is what it looks like......except for the "DIAMOND" printed in the blank space below and to the right of the MSI.

Mine is a Diamond Board with a Neo4 Platinum SLI BIOS!  See:

Well, I seem to have found the answer (I hope).  It seems my K8N Diamond board came from the factory with the W7100NMS V3.0  12/31/04 11:29:55 BIOS.  So it has the K8N Neo4 Platinum /SLI BIOS from the factory.

  • MSI 990FXA-GD80 v2 ... which bios?

    My new build came in today with the board in subject line and an MSI GTX 660 Ti. Long story short it would not boot. The post display on motherboard would finally display "99" after a few moments but then would stop there and not continue to boot up. There is never a signal sent to the monitor. I tested my old MSI 7600gt and it booted up fine.
    I then immediately started to RMA the video card. I decided to try the new 660 Ti video card in an older Asus M3A78-EM motherboard and it booted up on that computer just fine. I thought maybe it was a Bios problem. My board came with bios 11.12. According to the download pages, that bios version doesn't belong to this board. It is for non v2 boards of this model. The latest bios for my board is 11.9 and is dated 03/12. The non v2 version has this same bios (in name, not sure if same file) and same date.
    Do they use the same bios? Should I update my v2 board to the latest bios available for the non v2 board which is 11.13 dated 10/12?
    I'm not holding my breath that doing so would fix my "MSI video card incompatible with MSI motherboard" problem as it had the problem with the 11.12 bios and there is not mention of them fixing anything related to video. I also have a feeling that I will have the same problem if I RMA the video card for a replacement.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Other specs are:
    OpenSuse 12.2 64bit
    AMD FX-8350
    2x G Skill Ripjaw X 4GB
    Corsair HX850 (Tested with other PSU from machine that actually booted with this card)

     To the best of my knowledge the V2 simply came with the 11.9 BIOS when it was released and there's no other difference between the V2 & non V2. They use the same BIOS so you can update to the latest one shown at MSI for the non V2 MB.
     See this topic re: that MB -  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159162.msg1167681

  • Creative Xfi soundcard and NForce4 chipset, which BIOS solves the problem?

    Hello,
    I have the MSI K8N-Neo4 Platinum mobo. Is it possible to get the Xfi-card working without problems and which BIOS version do I need then?
    A clear statement from MSI on this matter would be nice.

    I just got my X-Fi today.  I was running BIOS 1.3 on my non-SLI board.  I knew what to expect and sure enough I wasn't disappointed - multiple unknown devices detected on the PCI bus.  I've always been happy with BIOS 1.3 and had no reason to flash until today.  I went ahead and flashed to 1.9, and my multiple devices magically turned into one 
    However (there just has to be a however), my pc now hangs on shutdown.  I'm not too bothered by this - I'm confident I'll find the cause and solution, if not on this forum then somewhere out there in the techno-geek community

  • Which BIOS shall I use for " K8T Neo -FSR"??

    I bought  a MSI K8T Neo- FSR board yesterday. But when I looked at the MSI web site I haven't seen ...FSR board, I only see ...FS2R board instead. So which BIOS shall I download and flash? There is also no any explanation about FSR. My board carries the BIOS V1.1. On the other hand it writes this informatin on the board; " K8t Neo 6702 rev. 1.0"

    ...here's the product page...I found it the other day but I can't remember how   ...got lucky, I guess...  
    ...BIOS version?..I've always used Live Update in Windows...just follow the directions to the letter...there are beta versions available in the forums...the current one is getting good reviews...

  • Which BIOS for Corsair 3200XLPT??

    Hi guys, is there anyone using the Corsair PC3200XLPT here, I really like to know which BIOS is the most stable with these ram?? Right now I'm using Bios 1.52 but somehow I'd always got BSOD with these ram installed, all running at SPD, but even at lower timing 2-3-7-3, these ram still gave me troubles. And now my WinXP became corrupt . . .  .
    Any clue please ??? or perhaps I've to rma these ram??

    There is a real difference between Corsair XL and C2 memory:
    http://www.corsairmicro.com/corsair/xms.html
    The XL should run at 2-2-2-5 1T at stock memory frequencies and even a bit beyond. I'd set the memory to those specs and run memtest86 for an extended period to make sure the hardware was working as it should be before doing anything else. If this generates errors then you definitely have a hardware problem but it may not be your memory. See Tiresmoke's excellent sticky above.
    And whatever you do, don't even thing about changing the BIOS until you have a stable hardware platform and are running XP with absolutely no major problems.

  • T60/T61: Which BIOS diagnostic card?

    Hi,
    which BIOS diagnostic card works in a T60 or T61? I've got a broken T60, which still beeps when RAM is removed, so
    I guess the BIOS isn't corrupt. I've tried a miniPCIe card, but it doesn't display any POST code. Will a parallel port card
    work, either on the Ultrabay Slim adapter or the port of a docking station or do I have to connec to the LPC bus directly to sniff port 80h accesses?
    Thanks,
    jal66

    As far as I know, none work in the T60.
    I use one of these on T61 and newer:

I read it MAY have something to do with am image it cannot load but I see them all loaded.  Help - thank you

    Could you share a link to the page?
    Seeing it in context and in our browsers is much easier to debug.
    If not, make sure to run the validator here The W3C Markup Validation Service and clear out any problems. HTML errors, especially structural ones, will cause all kinds of display problems in various browsers/versions/platforms.

  • When i try to download an update the dropdown automatically inserts my apple id which is wrong. It's in gray and will not allow me to type in a correct id. How do I stop / delete the automatic insertion of the id?

    When i try to download an update from the appstore the dropdown  menju automatically inserts my apple id (which is wrong). It's in gray and will not allow me to type in the correct id. How do i stop the auto insert so that i can enter the correct id?

    the original apple id was entered incorrectly. Apple says it must be a email address.  My email address is correct but the letter ( t ) somehow got added to the (.com) so that when i try to enter my id it is automaticly loaded with the email address the ends ( .comt ) . According to Apple this is not a "legal" email id.  But it appears on my dropdown in gray and i cannot alter it or delete it, thus preventing me from downloading software updates.

  • I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

    There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage.  This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
    The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port.  There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

  • Which team can help if the name of iView is not translated in other languag

    Hi All,
    Do you know which team can help if the name of iView is not translated in other language such as Portuguese?
    Thanks,
    Eda

    Above statement is correct: contact Portal Team to debug the iView/application.
    But you need to also check with your IT team - because it might be the case that the proper browser setting/network setting is figured to be EN (English - assuming).
    To test, you yourself can verify if it's the case, change the browser language to Portuguese and test the application. If it gets translated to Portuguese, then that means it's the browser/network/ISP setting/configuration.

I have found the apps i want yet I keep getting messages saying "this app is not yet available in the South African store"! which means i am unable to buy it. Why not and how can i get around this?

    If you see a dialog telling you the app is not avaiable, then it's not available.

    Can i buy itunes gift card online from ireland, which can be redeemed in the USA. I do not have a US credit card or billing address (just an Irish one)

    You might be able to buy the gift cards from Best Buy. They sell iTunes cards and will accept international credit cards. See:
    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-Topics/International-Orders/pcmcat204400050019. c?id=pcmcat204400050019
    They say that you can't order iTunes "codes", but I don't know if that applies to the physical cards. But you can try it.

    The only difference I see between looking your site between Firefox and IE is that Firefox is slightly less tolerant of a narrower window than IE but I don't see parts
    missing they may be covered up but that happens on both browsers where the picture overlays wording down left side.
    I can't really tell whether you are saying Firefox or IE is missing parts, but they look the same to me. First time looked it like Firefox was missing portion but it was just dropped down for some distance text and pictures were not missing.
