Will K8N Neo4 Platinum board be compatible with Dual AMD64?

Only that because i´m thinking to buy one with a 3000+ Venice and 2x512 Twinmos DDR400 ram modules.
will K8N Neo4 Platinum board be compatible with Dual AMD64 (AMD64 X2)?
thanks

Hey Guys,
I fail to see the Logic in "don't buy dual core now... it’s too expensive… wait till the price drops in 2006." You don't HAVE to buy dual core... but since it's here... there really is no reason not to. You still need a processor now to get you through till 2006... So that means spending $300 (CND + Tax) on a 3200+ and then in 2006... Spending another 400 (maybe even 500) on a 4400+... so in the end you'll still have spent close to $800.
By buy dual core now... you get to use it NOW!... so you also have to take that into consideration. I've already returned my San Diego 4000+ and waiting till June 12th for the 4400+ to get in stock. I don't think I’ve seen anyone in here using a dual core with the 1.4 BIOS, so I’m not sure if 1.4 will work at all... But everyone seems to be say that 1.5 will become official in early June... with dual core support and a VDIMM of up to 3.1v
Just my $.02
Point well taken, but add this, what is going to change between now and then? I like to set back read reviews and watch them work out the bugs before I buy. All to often we get burned buying to quick in the Pc Market. And last point "use it NOW" may I ask on what? Now I just through that in so give me some links to read, because iam not uptodate on Dual core except the price.

Can't get K8N Neo4 Platinum Edition to post with Dual Core 3800 Processor

I'm doing a sytem build with a K8N neo 4 Platinum board bought second hand off Ebay and can't get the board to post - when I power up all the fans etc come on but there is no beep and the "D" bracket lights stay on solid - 2 amber and 2 red. Having read numerous posts on this forum I've fiddled about with memory in different slots etc and pressed the reset CMOS button but to no avail.
The problem is (apart from the possibility I've been sold a "duff " board !) that I've no idea what version of BIOS is on the board and of course I can't get into the BIOS to see or update it. I understand a BIOS update may be required for the dual core processor - does this mean that if the board doesn't have the correct BIOS it won't recognize the CPU at all which is why I am getting these symptons? Alternatively could the problem lie elsewhere ? I do have another computer with an AMD single core CPU but at this stage don't really fancy taking out this CPU and trying it in the K8N board.
Any advice would be appreciated

-Take the motherboard out of case.
-Unplug all hardwares and power cords, then clear CMOS as the mannual has described.
- Plug one memory, VGA card and power cords, then start the system and check if it could boot.
-If it still couldn't boot, check the CPU support tableand make sure your board support this board. After this, I think you should take another single CPU to the board to check if it could boot. If it could, try flash bios to the latest one so that this board could support this CPU.

K8N NEO4 Platinum cold boot problem with 165 opteron?

I have this board and have a cold boot problem with my opteron. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its starting to get very anooying.
K8N NEO4 Platinum
165 opty dual core
2X1GB Ballistix PC4000
160GB sata2
7800GTX
X-Fi platinum
600 watt seasonic PSU

Well I am running them at the rated speed of 250 and the rated timings of 3-4-4-10 on the rated 2.8 volts. Ballistix have been known to die quickly when you throw to many volts at them for some reason. I dont get the cold boot problem with the OCZ. Once I finally get it to boot with the Ballistix it works just fine but the next morning I play hell to get it to boot again. I dont even get the main screen to let me get into bios. It just stays black. I have done all kinds of stress testing and ran memtest with no problems. I am really at a loss here.

RMA'ed K8N Neo4 Platinum board, no sound on the new board's output

Hi Folks,
I just got back the replacement for the K8N Neo4 Platinum boad I sent in a month ago. The good news -- my mirrored RAID array came back up and my WinXP/SP2 setup looks fine. The bad news -- my front speaker output doesn't put out any sound. My Amplified 2.1 speaker set was plugged into my older machine and working fine, and I just swapped the speaker cable into the green output plug on my MB, and no sounds comes out. Sounds was working on the previous MB which I sent in for RMA, so the software on my HDD's should have been set correctly to generate sounds on the new MB.
First, any suggestions on how to get the sound outputs working? Second, any pointers on how to diagnose what's going on? Should I be seeing "Realtek '97" (or something like that) for the playback and recording devices, for instance?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Clark

Couple of things come to mind. Power on the system and head on' over to the bios. Ensure the audio onboard is actually turned on...or if the board they sent you had it disabled.
Check the Device manager for any "!" in yellow next to anything in the audio dept. (windows control panel/system/hardware...yadda yadda....) If the onboard audio is turned 'on' and windows is seeing it? You'll have a heading for AC '97 listed, and also under sound effects options in the control panel it should be listed. If it's listed as working 'ok'? I seem to remember a set of jumpers on the motherboard for audio output. In the manual it's listing as follows:
"If you don't want to connect the front audio header, pins 5&6, 9&10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise the line-out connector on the back panel will not function" That's out of my manual regarding JAUD1 connector. And I have the Neo4 K8N board.
Best of luck!

Can I put an old 20GB IDE HD into the K8N NEO4 Platinum Board ?

I was just wondering if you can install a old Maxtor 20Gb IDE hard drive into a brand new system built around the K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125) and used it in conjunction with a brand new Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA150 80Gb hard drive, for a total hard drive space of 100Gb ?
if it possible for new sata and old ide hard drives to co-exists in the same system ?

Quote from: syar2003 on 23-January-06, 05:00:53
Yes , you can do that .
Only advise is to put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable .
You would want to install th OS on the sata drive , make sure not to have the ide disk connected during install
or it will host the OS system files and become the system disk (default win installer choice to take the first drive it sees , and
ide is always prior to satas in bios).
Then after OS is all setup , shut down and connect the remaining disks .
So the procedure would be, to install the sata drive first, the optical drives in IDE secondary and when everythings done, the old 20Gb drive in the primary IDE, its that the way of it ?
what do you mean by "put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable" ?

Having problems with my K8N Neo4 Platinum board

Hi,
I'm at a loss of trying to figure out what is the problem, my computer comes on by itself and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or bios or maybe a virus.....anyone came across this problem before?

Quote from: Stick on 14-June-05, 16:38:06
You can thank Bill Gates and his precious team for the gorgeous software that they have created. If you didn't know, Win is automatized to such a high degree, that it can do things by itself. Probably the OS thougth that this is a neat feature that you're missing out onto, and decided to show you the path to enlightenment
This is not correct. It is the PROM's on the network card that is configurated to enable wake on lan function. The best thing to do, is to go into your bios and select enable network PROM og network BIOS (depending on what it says), Then you'r settings will be saved, in case you reinstall windows/formats etc. This is not a windows issue, just the standard settings for the network card as it comes from the manufacturer. Bill Gates is not to blame...

K8N Neo4 Platinum - won't post with cards in pci slots

Hi
Just completed a new build - with 3800 + Dual processor - everything works fine but when I plug a PCI card in any PCI slot the computer then refuses to even post.
I've tried different cards and all of the pci slots but it makes no difference. Could it be a driver problem ? When I remove the card and try again the computer then starts up as normal.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Biamp

1: PCI cards are bad, most likely your problem
2: PCI slots on MB are bad, highly doubt this
3: PCI cards drawing to much power, very doubtfull

Single Channel Dual Channel Question, K8N Neo4 Platinum

Just putting together a machine for the Daughter. Using MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum board 7125-010, MSI NX6600GT PCIE 128 Video card with AMD64 3700 CPU SD and a 1 GB stick of Crucial dual sided memory, CT12864Z40B, DDR 400 3200. The rest of my parts arrived and just got it all together and booted into the Bios. The boot screen tells me the memory is DDR Single Cannel, 64 bit running at 3-3-8-3 and 2T timings. I have been into the Bios setup, but had let the memory boot at Auto settings. Is what I am seeing on this screen OK because there is only one stick of memory installed? Or am I just confused as normal? I was thinking it should read Dual Channel, but I am hoping that is just my backwards thinking at times. I wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thanks in advance for the guidance.
Pop's

JayBee; Thank you very much for the quick response. The Daughter decided to go with the 1GB stick to begin with so as to possibly add another 1GB stick later. I don't think she will need it myself, judging by her computer use. She does no gaming or multi-tasking, so there probably will be no need to add more memory in the future. I was just wondering if there is any noticable performance hit by using a single stick vs a pair of matched 512's?? I used the same MB as in my sig, but noticed the new one has an upgraded BIOS. I hope it is an improvement, because I have yet had no problems with my machine which has the V1.6 BIOS. This new one which is about 2 months newer than mine has a BIOS V1.A in the bios screen. At bootup it is identified as ( 6A61FM49C-OO ) what ever that means. I read the forum daily and have noticed you are very active and consice in helping folks out. I very much appreciate your time and effort that you give freely. Hope you have a very safe and happy holiday season and SANTA is very good to you. I think we as a group need to get SANTA up to speed on gift giving in the computer upgrade department.

Windows Vista CTP 5308 on K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125)

I have a system based on the K8N Neo4 Platinum board and i was just wondering wether or not Windows Vista will run well on it, are there any issues to take into consideration in installing the February CTP of Windows Vista in a system based on this board?
any feedback would be much appreciated?

While not exactly the same motherboard they are very similar i have the MSI K8N SLI Platinum and windows vista beta 2 was pretty happy with it.Hope this helps.

K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125) DIMM Memory Setup

im planning to install two Kingston value ram KVR400X64C3A/512 on my K8N NEO4 Platinum board, this two modules although identical feature double side chip arrangement, i an also well aware from reading the board manual that dual channel installation of these modules will actually slow down the performance of the memory,
what would be the best setup for these to modules?
im planning on installing one module in DIMM1 and the other in DIMM2, is that the best recommendable arrangement for this type of DIMMS?
also this DIMMS use 2.6v, and the board default setup is 2.5v, should i leave the default settings or do i need to make any changes in the bios configuration for these to work properly?

I would go with a dualchannel config.
Confirm dualchannel mode on boot screen or with cpu-z software
http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php
To compare differant memory configs, you can get a rough performance idea by running sisoft sandra mem.benchmark.

Never go below RAM voltage recommendation.
I rather upper the voltage to 2.7 for best stability.

New K8N NEO4 Platinum (non SLi) wont leave boot screen???

I just went out and purchased:
AMD Athlon 3000+
K8N NEO4 Platinum
Some standard case with a 450w power suply
On the +12v it says I have 18a
And Im using some things from my old PC:
(PCI) ATI Radeon 9200se (CrapTastic!)
Maxtor 40Gig (not Sata)
1x Samsung PC2700 DDR 512mb RAM
This is my first PC build and I ran into a couple of problems:
I have tried 3 different PS/2 keyboards(2 older and 1 newer) and none of them work. It shows the Platinum screen and then goes to a different screen that says "Keyboard error or not plugged in"
So I try my USB keyboard that I got about a year ago and the lights flash on the kb when I first start up but.....once I get to the Platinum screen the keyboard becomes unresponsive and I cant move off the Platinum Screen into BIOS or anything.
PLEASE HELP!

Well I went out and purchased a USB to PS/2 adapter and plugged it in with the USB keyboard that would light up but still not work and......................... STILL DID NOT WORK!
Im going on 2 weeks now with no Counter-Strike:Source and im goin nuts

Grimster i agree totaly with jeanguy, you need around 25-30amps min on these boards, so try a mates psu.
Do I really need more than 18a with my system? How much money (ballpark) in US dollars do you think a adequate PSU for my rig would cost???
I am really thinking of just takeing it back and getting it replaced with the same mobo and see if that works.

K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI Microphone performance

Hi All,
1st post - sorry if this has been answered elsewhere...
I've got a K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI, the one with Creative Live 24 bit onboard sound. I just got it running a few days ago. The audio playback is fine - I can play games, watch DVDs, listen to CDs, etc. No problems there. I've got the Creative drivers from the CD in the motherboard box installed, BTW
The built-in microphone input is less than I expected. I have an old, cheap microphone which works fine (I tested it yesterday) with my (old) computer with built-in sound. On my new Neo4 the recording levels are _very_ low. I've gone in to the Creative Mixer and cranked up the recording volume, as well as toggled the "do not monitor" option (what does this do, BTW?), but it has not solved the problem. I have to speak very loudly with the microphone right by my mouth to hear anything at all.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I had the same problem on my K8N Neo2 Platinum. I had a really weak microphone that I had to get right up to my mouth before it would start to work. I solved the problem by turning on the "mic boost" option in the control panel. Finding that option was tough. Here is what I had to do:
I had to go into the control panel, get into the sound and audio devices options, hit the audio tab; next to the sound recording section is a button for Volume. Hit that, and it brings up the windows mixer. Under options, make sure the Advanced Controls is checked. Then make sure the microphone input is there. If not, select options/properties and mash down the adjust volume for recording button. Then check down below and make sure microphone is checked. Then the microphone slider should be available. Make sure it is checked. And then hopefully you will see an advanced button. Hit that and check the mic boost. That finally solved my problem.
Good luck.
